Yeah, Nahida being one of the darkest characters in lore with a heartbreaking story is probably not "going for a younger audience".
On the other hand she is easily the best written character with the best overall story. Ont op of it she is pretty badass. Such a great character.
Filmmaker reacts Honkai Impact when 🙁
to be fair , nahida wasn't having a look of fear , rather it was a look of Awe and seeing the magnificence of the world around her.
Hm. Don't want to spoil anything, so there's a limit to how much context I can give you. You're generally right, although in Nahida's case "living in a dream" doesn't equate "not living in reality". There's certainly something very wrong here, though at the moment I couldn't tell you with certainty just who or what's responsible or the actual reasons it happened, and I can say pretty much nobody in the setting would know the truth there either right now. And the story at the time her trailer came out made her situation a lot worse fairly quickly, which is symbolically reflected over the course of the trailer itself.
Also, her trailer came out before both the Wanderer's and Alhaitham's, and I believe in different ways influenced both – she certainly influenced both characters before their trailers were released and I think I can see ways this influence gets reflected in the actual trailers, though it's mostly very debatable. (Except for the bird in the Wanderer's trailer; while the motif of briefly attracting birds is common with his family, not only has that type of bird been an outright representation of Nahida at other points but his reactions to it too closely echo his feelings towards her at this point.)
Oh, and the "camera gesture": you might not have run into them yet while playing, but alchemy-based cameras do exist in this setting and I don't doubt she could tell you every detail of how to build the most advanced models. It's also notable that while Nahida's body language is clearly modeled after child's play, it's also oddly reminiscent of using a keyboard with her feet and mouse gestures with her hands – and I don't think that's entirely a coincidence given the nature of her abilities. (It also happens to echo a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure thing, but that's more common sources than direct influence.)
Her teaser would be interesting also the sumeru promotional video since you reacted to a few of the sumeru characters
next time read what is written on the character card part that text has information that gives a greater context to the video
You got most of it right, she is an immortal locked away by humans in the beginning of her life. She doesn't think the outside world wants her, so she doesn't do anything to get out. She instead escapes into her dreams and tries to be happy there. She is afraid to wake up because then she will be alone again. I recommend watching the teaser as well, it uses great technique on telling how she got locked away and her mental state.
I like how you caught onto dreams and her being old, because she is a God over 500 years old and she is stuck in a dream that repeats itself over and over for all her life until we free her in the game
If you want existential horror, go for her teaser. There are heavy spoilers, though.
Please check out Kokomi's and Nilou's trailers too!
The current lore of Genshin has a more serious and darker vibe to it beneath all of the joy and positivity. Even the side quests speak in depth of death, slaughter and murder which is definitely something new, adding a more mature layer. Nahida as a character and everything about her shows that really well, which you already guessed !!
It's incredible how you understand everything just with the cinematographic language. Yes, she is trapped in a cage literally, dreaming about the real world.
holy shieee**t i always got goosebumps everytime the tone change from happiness vibe to dark vibes , damn hoyoverse
Happy Birthday, Nahida. not me totally sobbing
Brilliant analysis, not totally correct but you nailed the general direction
It's funny how much you get right in these. Although it goes in a different direction from how you analyzed it, in a sense you got alot of her character correct
Nahida's lore is all in her Character Teaser.
For you own context this might be one of the trailers where watching the teaser video also helps.
Pretty amazing how you guessed a lot of stuff right just solely by this Trailer 😀
I really love your genshin reactions, can you also please react to genshin impact version trailers?
you are almost right about sealing herself away. But its more like got sealed away
It feels so satisfying to see you analyse a video game from a cinematic perspective.
I personally believe a video game is a convergence of several art forms 2d art, 3d art, cinematography, sound design, music design, storytelling etc. And all the art forms are held together by the glue, programming.
It's just my opinion. Thank you very much for making those videos
You are right that she is old. She is dendro archon and 500 years old. But she didn't sealed herself. She has been imprisoned for the passed 500 years. Her only connection with outside world was dream of her people.
Her eyes didn’t really show a lot of fear from what I was seeing. One, her eyes were glowing ever so brightly because of the reflection. Two, the music was still calm and beautiful with no eerie vibe to it. But you’re still not completely wrong since there’s a lot of lore behind the depressed ending.
Been watching a while, love the video as always!!
One small point of constructive criticism: I tend to like it more when you watch the whole video once through then go back and analyze the video bit by bit. The constant start and stop in the beginning I felt took away from the experience a bit.
But regardless love watching your stuff and you should definitely watch her teaser video!! Its also such a fantastic video and is a masterclass in script writing and acting tone if you ask me.
Now, after you have finished watching her trailer Phil, you can watch her teaser with more context and appreciation. Can't wait for you to watch her teaser and many other amazing teasers of Genshin.
Nahida is still a child for a god
The shape of the pupil doesn't usually have any clear connection to the character's lore (it doesn't even indicate their race, humans have different pupils too, like Keqing, Hutao, etc), with one exception. All characters with pupils in the form of a four pointed star are from the same nation (either directly or descendants) – Khaenri'ah.
wow you got it all right
She's so much more.
Plus, Nahida attacks with an artist's viewfinder mode, mouse pointer, click and drag select gesture, and hopping on a keyboard cap, all in a pixel lightshow 🙂
Yep pretty close but just a little bit wrong. Great job!
was not expecting va11halla music for the intro, adore that game
Great analysis!
I hope you try looking at her Teaser, "Nahida: Happy Birthday"!
His interpretation of nahida actually sounds like a pretty cool concept. Imagine if instead of being locked up by the sages, nahida locked herself up to slowly discover and study irminsul for whatever reason, possibly even forgetting why shes even in her dream world so she doesnt notice how the sages is commiting those crimes, that would maybe match with what dain said in the trailer.
You should definitely react to her teaser trailer!
You should react to Nahida's trailer, the "Happy birthday" one. There's more lore in the trailers than in the demo.
(Wanderer and Tartaglia's demos vs trailers give more depth to their characters)
