Wuthering Waves is launching day after tomorrow lol. You should check it out more.
So the producer of Honkai Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd, David Jiang, is a huge Trails fan. Last year, he got to tour Falcom and speak with with the team there. He has had Tio Plato as his avatar on a Chiense social media platform over over a decade. One of the major characters in Honkai has a pretty similar backstory to her too. There's a lot of influence there!
Calvin to Yae Miko: "If serving was a crime, you'd be put to death." NO TRUER WORDS EVER SPOKEN! Also i lived through the first genshin anniversary that was..truly a time alright..
I honestly don't know what we gain by bringing Calvin into all the shit that is the administration of Genshin Impact by Mihoyo/Hoyoverse etc. We don't need to show our ugliness to poor Calvin, If possible, it's better to leave him without the knowledge of these useless controversies that only Chinese players can actually do something about. (and in the end nothing changes)
Another great video genshin music is always top tier and they put so much effort for free to play game.
100% agree about the Demons' Souls music. So much iconic music in the original that didn't need changing. It's not only the remake, I think a few of the future games also lost a bit of soul and went for a more "epic boss battle theme" direction.
8:44 lmaoooooo a;sfdjsakfj
1:31:31 oh finally someone sent a ashikai theory.. btw she is one of the best theorists in the community highly recommend all her videos especially her "guide to…" videos.
That's a good idea Calvin, this way you aren't always catching up and can enjoy the events as well.
Amount of words Like and Again in this video surely is close to a billion.
Don’t worry, I know Hollow Knight had some not very fun stuff happen near the end. I personally am not fussed in the slightest if you do or don’t defeat the final boss. As long as you enjoyed it there’s no issue. It took me years to defeat it and I still have stuff I need to do.
I hope the experience was overall positive though even with the less than stellar stuff from people later on.
KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS MENTION RAAAAAAAAAAAH YOU ARE MY QUEST I CRIED LIKE A BABY the instrument is called a shamisen!! i kinda regret taking kyudo instead of learning it! the flute is called a shakuhachi! its used in botw's kakariko village theme along with the shinobue for the lower register!
For those dramas about fans attacking google etc, please remember that that doesn’t represent all of the community. I for one thinks it’s stupid and do not even like the idea or support that kind of behavior at all.
Oh hell yeah. Ashikai!!! It's like biting into the fruit from Eden 🤭 She's one of the best theorists of Genshin out there of course there are more but I'm super excited.
Wuthering Waves actually releases in a day or two from today!
Edit: You found out in the video, nvm
1:19:30 it‘s silly to fall for rumours, but admittedly, genshins anniversary rewards suck to this day :/
Im so happy you reacted to wuwa! It has parry systems and collecting echoes/pokemons to bring in battle and its a great compliment to genshin! Who says you cant play both anyways?
Roamer, the Twins aren't from Kheanri'ah. They are like world/universe hoppers, as in they travel to different worlds. They have already traveled across many worlds before getting stuck in Teyvat. What we do know about them is that thier original world was destroyed which is why they travel and that they arrived in Kheanri'ah when they arrived here.
1:13:00 finally calvin is exposed to the infamous "genshin community" 😆
I love Genshin’s music so so much
Each region has instruments used that are specific to each region with Inazuma using Japanese instruments and Sumeru using Middle eastern and Liyue using Chinese instruments.
It’s amazing how much production and thought processes it takes to blend so many traditional instruments into a soundtrack for a game and make it all thematicly make sense, it’s perfect
Genshin anniversary is always a dilemma
just want you to know i got an AFK journey ad while watching this video (AFK JOURNEY THE BEST OPEN WORLD RPG-)
Hi Roamer,
It looks like you may have linked the videos from your previous react. They don't match what's in this react. (looks like it's been updated)
Ah! Ashikai, the lore archon, has arrived. Interesting to see how her style has really changed since 1.5 when this was made. Don't worry about being confused, there's so much depth to the lore and it takes a lot of reading the books, reading weapon descriptions, reading artifact descriptions to begin to piece everything together. Our understanding of all of the topics Ashi covers in this video have evolved over the years. You've got plenty of time to peel back the layers.
Since Calvin was reacting to the first Genshin anniversary meltdown, please someone ask Calvin to react to the Sonic versus Genshin fandom Game Awards beef, lol.
I was there during Genshin's first anniversary and the reason why I hated it was not because of the rewards but how Genshin constantly ignored a lot of reequested QOLs (lot of which are added now) , doing art promotion events where cosplayers and artists promote Genshin for measly rewards and an event where only 10% of the playerbase gets a chance to get a Welkin Moon (they still do this crap every year).
It definitely sucked and still does in my opinion lol
mujin is not the best source of information for a lot of these genshin controversies. He often ommits critical information, especially for people who are not familiar with gacha gaming and they just happen to stumble on his video, and exaggerates things for content. He also is prone to spreading false info without verifying the source, like with the hoyoverse censorship. All in all, i would not recommend watching some of his newest videos for that reason
Wuthering Waves is planned for PlayStation but there's no date yet. Only PC and mobile for now
AAA im so glad you're loving Genshin's music 🥺 I've commented this before and im saying it again,, but have you also considered reacting to the genshin concerts? Maybe dedicate a special episode for the 100 th episode or even 1 year after episode 1? It’s also a good thing to watch in between moving to new regions! It's a whole experience!
Loved the reactions as always! Btw the links in the description are from a previous video, not the ones you did this time!
1:20:47 Hahaha the anniversary drama:
I was there (been playing since 1.0), and it was cringe. For me, the story, music, events & exploration itself and the primos from doing those are enough reward. Plus, it's just a game. A FREE game. No one holds a gun to my head forcing me to play nor pay for Genshin. I'm not gonna act like Genshin did a war crime by not giving me a free 5-star every anniversary.
Btw, the malding still happened every anniversary. The cause is indeed expectation vs reality, mixed with burnout from no-lifing this game & having multiple accounts, imo.
The game has never promised a free 5-star, but some players demanded a free 5-star and tens of thousands of primos. When it didn't happen: rage.
The game was always meant to be a casual chill game, some players demanded it to have meta endgame.
When the devs explicitly reiterated that, no, Genshin will not have meta endgame content because Genshin is just not that kind of game: rage.
Until this day, some people are still very bitter that a casual exploration game is being a casual exploration game and not a hardcore meta game. And every anniversary, the 2 complains have always been: no free 5-star, no endgame.
I mean, I do like challenging games. Fighting pre-nerfed Childe was awesome (died 10,000 times getting oneshot'ed by Tortellini damnit lmao). But people need to come to terms with the fact that Genshin's focus is not on that. It is what it is. Move on.
Play soulslike games if you want challenge, mates. I recommend Sekiro if you like fast pace combat, Cuphead for platformer, or Geometry Dash.
I'm honestly surprised that none of the patreons submitted one of Rawflers ".EXE" videos yet.
I think Roamer would really enjoy those :))
ashikai has one of thr best theories out there, this one might be outdated a bit but she has a lot of great thieries that still hold to this day and I like her recap series she has it's really useful
To explain things about Genshin anniversary:
it wasn’t just rumors. Gacha games are expected to be very generous on their anniversaries — this is just how gachas are. That’s why, when reward turned up to be borderline nothing, people got mad. Hoyoverse had to damage control it by sending additional primogems and a free glider (that initially supposed to be a part of paid bundle).
Ashikai's theories always make my brain hurt😂 But her videos are so cool, i hope you will react to more of them. Also she was so calm back then, now she lost her sanity(like every genshin lore enthusiast)
For the record, your voice is actually very pleasant and soothing to listen to, so no need to envy Ashikai 😀
someone please request the acheron trailer
I would love if he played Wuthering Waves when it comes out :>
i love how calvin saw wuthering waves xiao and he was immediately like when will this game release
omg that anneversary drama video brought flashbacks of another drama with kfc, this community definitely knows how to square up lol
As someone who was around during the first genshin anniversary, the uproar didn't really come from the Ayaka rumor but simply from having higher expectations for the rewards. The initial rewards were just 10 fates, and most people were expecting a lot more since in most gacha games anniversaries are a BIG deal.
I honestly was disappointed in the rewards and didn't mind the Qiqi's sticker spam (even though I only heard of it on YouTube). It was a funny way to "rebel", since everything people posted there that was related to the anniversary rewards was being censored. It was not fair to simply censor people's opinions in the server just because they were negative (given that they were still shared in a civil manner), so that caused even more anger towards the game, thus the Genshin review bombing on Google play.
I never understood nor agreed with the people who put negative reviews on other hoyo games or other unrelated apps, and most people in the community also didn't agree at the time.
It's just that the community was so big that even if it was a small minority doing it, they were still a lot of people.
In the end we did receive ten more wishes and some wings, and these rewards actually stayed the same for the other two anniversaries.
So I guess by "winning" these things the first time, the community actually won an additional ten wishes and a special object every future anniversary too.
Even then, the whole thing still gave a lot of people outside the fandom a really bad impression of it, and I cant really blame them.
The domain lore video was so cool!! I never really delved too much into Genshin theories, but now I kind of want to… I also didn't notice the relation of the Ley Line Branches dropped by the Abyss Mages until now even though I've used this material a lot…
