I pulled for Citlali first because I wanted her more. I won her on hard pity. Then I went for Mavuika, and won her on hard pity on Capturing Radiance. My next character is definitely going to be a standard banner character.
I was waiting for your reaction to Iansen and her drum performance on the drums. People who are calling this cringe are just hating, I think it’s great and I did pull for Mavuika as I skipped everyone since Kinitch as I lost the 5050 so I wanted to be guaranteed the archon and I also got her weapon which looks sick
The only 4-Star character in that band plays the Bass. Ouch.
"…the focus is on everybody, not just the Archon." One of their rallying cries is "In Natlan, no one fights alone." Plus the other six characters represent the Six legendary heroes from 500 years ago who fought beside Mavuika then as well. I pulled Citlali instead, but throwing wishes at Mavuika on the off chance I get lucky.
Yeah, there was a video about how the guitars were also animated correctly, when it come to Music Hoyo is always good with making sure that stuff is correct it's no wonder they have their own music team with Hoyo Mix. As for Mavuika herself, I do have her, since I lost on Xilonen (skipped Chasca cause of her gameplay) I was able to get that Capturing Radiance event where the limited character is boosted. Working on pulling Citlatli.
I waited for your reaction just for the Drum Section similar to looking forward to MarcoMeatballs take on the Opera in the vids 😅
fun fact, they did the animations CORRECTLY, as in, their fingerwork is on point. Someone made a short video on it and it's pretty much spot on with what you see being animated. Pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqgV0fevErI
Yeah Chasca's Solo is accurate. It's actually cool to see
To be honest, I strongly doubt that Iansen is a Forster, there were characters with silhouettes in the livestream and they were all 100% five stars and Iansen was included. Since I play in Japanese myself, I prefer the Japanese version of the video because it feels much more immersive since it's really the same voice singing the song that you hear in the game with the character, it always feels more real and tangible, which is not to say that the others weren't good, they are good but it's just a difference whether the voice you know from the game sings the song or just a character stranger.
"The 4* playing the drums"
With all due disrespect, I will go to your home and steal your pillow and replace it for a slightly less comfortable one
When I first heard it I was half asleep and I thought it was a Silent Hill song because of the guitar
I could be wrong but they might be using motion capture for musicians
The fact that this got so many dislikes blows my mind. People just stay hating on natlan for 0 reason
that beginning itself just deserve massive like. Sudden Himeko jumpscare 😛
10/10 video. Seeing you enjoy the genre of this song was wholesome
Yep! All of the instruments are animated correctly!
At least, it seems to be correct with the positioning of the hands on the fretboards, it's a bit tough to see the animations of the fingers with the movement of the camera.
I also really love this trailer, and I don't understand the discourse from some people. Sure, I was also taken aback at first when I saw Mavuika singing, but it's so freakin' cool!
Different is good!
I'm glad you're feeling good enough to be doing regular content, Sami! I can't wait for you to hop back into the Natlan story! Looking forward to it!
EDIT: Oof I also lost my 50-50 to Qiqi 😭But I had enough saved up to pull her anyway!
A man of culture and a Himeko enjoyer as well i see.
"That 4 star ass character playing drums."
Ororon: sweats profusely
Iansan over here still catching strays after getting pretty much ignored for the whole archon quest 😂
i’ve definitely seen some backlash to Mavuika’s trailer — and at least the consensus from what i’ve seen is that her trailer is pretty good but they were expecting something with a similar tone/vibe to Raiden’s trailer?
personally when i first watched it i was a bit surprised by the ~✨anime OP✨~ style but it’s grown on me overtime! not enough to become my new fave (that still goes to Furina) but i think i understand what hoyo was going for with Natlan’s whole “nobody fights alone” belief + with Mavuika being a very selfless person it kinda fits that her own trailer doesn’t focus exclusively on her
I have seen a video of some one playing the same notes that chasca plays… and even if it sounds a little bit off it certainly is hitting the correct notes, same with the sinth… i wouldn't be surprised if they used mocap on a real band playing the song
I lose the 50:50 on Mavuika banner, but I got Her now, but unfortunately I don't have anything else for Citlali, lol
I wanna see your reaction and opinion on the 5.3 weekly boss theme
There are Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions too.
Since you're a drummer… Check out a Japanese band, Koiai. They covered Blazing Heart Japanese Version, with their own twist with sick guitar and drum fills.
Hope you're recovering well dude… Yeah, this trailer is the best but sadly, many people didn't like it
Ewww the Iansan disrespect get me th out of here
I previously commented on the Sunday trailer reaction that the piano wasn’t animated correctly, but in the short few seconds that Kinich was playing the keyboard in the video, it was indeed animated correctly!
I returned to playing Genshin a couple of weeks before Mavuika's banner started. Never thought that I would get her in a single 10x pull and her weapon in 20x pulls. Hoyo wants me to simp on Mavuika so hard 😂
7:45 unnecessary disrespect to Iansan
i think they recorded the real band first and animate based on that, cause even the guitar chords are accurate and in sync with the music
i hope we can see live performance of this song with the original singer
I got mavuika (85pity after tighnari that is 😅) and her sign weapon in 27pity after last pull for neuvillette tome in the banner before. opening 2025 with a bits glory I guess 😄😄
As an Argentine, I'm proud that my Archon and her team are playing rock music.
I've seen quite a few of your videos now and finally subscribed after watching this one! You hit every nail on the head with this trailer, people are allowed to like and have fun with this one and the haters can go cry in a corner. This trailer perfectly encompasses everything about this archon and her nation, and you picked that up instantly.
Don't want to add onto your pain, but I somehow got 2 Mavuika's in a row on my second ten-pull 😅
THIS IS LIT!❤🔥
Oh cmon', not the Iansan slander.
Guess you'll gotta pull Iansan at this point.
BTW I've had the worst luck in 4 years with this patch. 35k-ish primo and I only got 1 Mavuika, lost 50/50 twice and now I have Jean C6.
Mavuika's Eng VA can't sing so they hire singer for it, that's why Eng dub SUCK that AI stole their job.
JP ver had Mavuika's VA sing the song which is way better.
