Photon of Fluctuation is really everywhere, probably resembles the traveler since their original powers, as we can see on the picking the twin scene, the white light, and light=photons.
2:17:19 I thought Santa Claus was here XD
4th post lol. Gotta ask you think die mittsommenatch got A cause you heard it before and because you got into the theme too early into the stream while you dont want to give S too early? The answer changes nothing of my view about you as a great creator.
ownnttt, Marco, looking cute with that sweater
Marco: Whats your vote?
Us: A! A! A!
Marco: Its a B.
Us: B! Its B
That’s why I don’t use headphones in withering zone in Sumeru.. my heart beat fast and I don’t like it.. this gives me chills
sumeru is my favorite region just for the music driving home that magical fantasy adventure feel in a way that isn't normally explored
The withering zone music always gets me so scared hahahah
most of Genshin speculation are about gameplay, characters and lore/story, but music. I cant wait to hear it from you Marco !
im honestly surprised on how Genshin is still not being nominated in best music category in The Game Awards. Yu-Peng Chen and HoyoMix does really good music
Dragonspine is honestly A to S tier but you really have to listen to it when you’re actually experiencing while fighting in dragonspine to really have its effect especially with the threat of sheer cold
Can i grab the clip of the Happy Birthday song for my Birthday this 17?
skipped straight to chasm because it's my absolute favourite, but i'll listen to the entire thing once it's done 😀
out of pure egoism i hope that someday you and other partly-genshin mostly-music-oriented CCs (like Alex Moukala) do a collab/tribute of some sort, because that would be magnificent. i Will Believe /j
i REALLY hope they use a theremin or something similar in fontaine for some moments, it would fit fontaine's theme of progress
I belive dragonspine battle theme is named "All conquering tide"
I don't believe I missed Marco singing happy birthday to people in chat ON MY BIRTHDAY! (We'll, at least in my time zone it was.)
Keep in mind that "C" or low "B" tier doesnt mean its bad
You dont need to make a super intense battle music everytime you fight something
The Chasm for example, its dark and empty, the S tier song is only at the end of the cave, other low tier songs just fit the enviroment in the Chasm.
In my humble opinion, Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie should be rated SS . Without a doubt one of the best. I realy enjoyed this. Thank you Marco.
I love the Fiar joke in the live comments lol
wish I watched this live but I had to sleep early. Glad to rewatch it what a legend Amen
I can't see the ranking, this is so bad, how do I tell what's won??
I don't agree with your opinion. I would easily rate all Chasm soundtracks at S, except Tremor of Meance, because there is just a better version of it. Well, at least you did so with Inevitable Conflict, which is my favorite of them all.
I always wanted you to react to these battle themes. You already listened to some of them in the concert, but especially Enkanomiya, Chasm, and Sumeru battle themes. I thought you would make a video for each of them and it would take lots of time, but seeing them in one large reaction video… This does put a smile on my face.
SO THE S TIER WINNERS CHECK THEM OUT：
Inevitable Conflict
Duel in the Mist
Swirls of Shamshir(desert version)
Jolt of forest
A TIER gigachads:
Gallant Challenge
Irresisteble Force
Combat Beneath the Waves
Rhymes of Vales
I want to write that region music have the same characteristics as their Archon.
Mondstadt – Playfull like Venti
Liyue – Grand and strong like Zhongli (was)
Inazuma – Sad but hard like Raiden
And I don't know what to say about Sumeru (It's grand too). I'm still under impression, especially about desert tomb themes. I want their release now 😭
Duel in the mist is one of the very few that deserves an S. That, and swirls of shamsir. I am very satisfied with these rankings
How come chasing the torrent and gallant challenge both share similar features while one gets B the other gets A?
Withering Zones themes are built really different. I wish to hear them more in game, probably as general battle music
I said A- on Overlord right as you said B+. I am not in disagreement.
Marco admitting to play every day: 1:36:15
Dual in the mist is really good, except in those story domains where they have only that playing for the 30+ minutes you are in the domain.
Hey Marco, about speculating the music of Fontaine, you should definitely %100 checkout the teyvat chapter prelude video. It actually includes the main themes for every region! It is crazy to think but it proved true until sumeru so it is safe to asume that the main theme of fontaine will be what is heard in the video. Have a great day!
Just leaving this here in advance:
If Inevitable Conflict, Duel in the Mist, and Gallant Challenge aren’t in the top 5 I’m calling foul
Have to love how most battle themes hold some form of Photon of Fluctuation in it. That tendency extends to Character themes aswell.
So its good that you mentioned Mondstadt's "simplicity" being reflected in its music. They dont have the composition quality that many other tracks have but the core melody has a universal cord progression that makes it fit everywhere with ease.
21:00 epic them
No Turning Back isn't a dedicated boss theme, its an overworld boss theme. Same goes for Fiery Pursuit and Jolts in the Forest
Gallant Challenge gotta be the best one
Echoing everyone else, Inevitable Conflict (along with the soft version "Stories of Remote Antiquity"), is my favorite track in all of Genshin. It perfectly encapsulates telling a story through music alone. Without going into spoilers, the place where these tracks play is one of the times my jaw dropped, and I was overwhelmed with emotion. You can feel the sorrow, pain, and frustration being told through the music. It foreshadows the future of Genshin better than even some of the story quests in my opinion.
