Navia is my all-time favorite, im so glad she's also a community favorite
Her Umbrella
IS A GUN
Her demo was cinematic to hell and back, orgasmic beauty and elegance unlike any other. My mouth couldn't close from how many times the scene switches, smooth transitions and on-beat moments this demo just shined in! It was a great action-packed 2 minutes of pure joy for me.
Hello, I love you content <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Congrats on promoting Chinese communist party intelligence gathering software
Good reaction 😀 Your description says the wrong thing tho
Gunbella is amazing lol
A: in her demo, during those flashing lights moments, I'm pretty sure she's in her own reality. Still in battle thought she's imaging paparazzi taking photos during some big event.
B: she wields a gun brella, a gun and umbrella/parasol. She's literally a Gothic geo wielding princess peach
Philip, have you ever watched any movie starring Louis de Funes? If not, I recommend "Le gendarme" and "Fantomas" series.
you’re one of the only reacters that i like to watch, especially in this community. i love how much you pay attention to details! thank you for giving us great content <3
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this awesome trailer!
What I really loved about this demo is the movement of the game models – they're very life like. It's as if they're from motion detection or something then translated to the models. And despite all of the fantasy elements, the most fictional part of all of these is running like that in those heels. Lmao.
You mention a lot of Princess Peach but not the one in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope where she has an unbrella…
WITH A BUILT IN SHOTGUN ON TOP
she's been a very inportant character in the Fontaine main story(especially part 1) wich made me wonder why they were so late with releasing her as a playable character.
Designwise she's a masterpiece, but then again thats what Hoyoverse is good at in all of their games.
Btw, i don't know if u noticed with Genshin characters, but they all have the color of their element weaved into their design, in Navia's case, she's Geo(earth) wich explains the gold/amber color pallet while Linnette who shows up briefly is Anemo(wind) with its Teal color.
Technically she's Claymore user but like other Hoyoverse games Genshin is moving away from the idea of making the weapon as dominant as the characters by making them part of their design instead of whatever u have equipped on them.
1:21 Charlotte cameo
She uses her Gun/ Umbrella then her main weapon is an really big Axe, and her Burst/ Ultimate is her cannons, very fun to watch lol
And the cut from the sewers to the streets
I love how her weapon is actually called a "gunbrella" in her talent descriptions. It's just a clever use of a wordplay but it also underlines the worldbuilding, tech level of fontain etc. in just one little detail.
Also I belive you are spot on with her masking a lot. At the start of fontain I wasn't even sure if she was fully aware what kind of business she was leading. As the story progressed it became pretty obvious that she knew very well and simply endured the more ugly parts for the greater good. They even went as far as having other chararcters comment on how she is more capable and knows more than she lets on.
As for the cuts, amazing. Sure you have all the control in the world in video game editing but you need to use it and back it up with creativity and proper craftsmenship. They did a really good job on this one.
Navia really gets a lot of mileage out of that umbrella XD
great breakdown <3
It is not a 'night to day' chase. The first shots are in the sewers of Fontaine, at their 'main city base' which is underground, thus the darkness. There is a nice cut from chasing down in the sewers to chasing on the streets that you missed/didn't comment on where we switch to daylight. I don't think there's enough clues to really tell how long this chase really took, but considering the harbor is PRETTY far from Fontaine, and the last scenes look to be on the islands to the north-east of Fontaine… yeah it prolly did span at least half a day lol.
Evil'doer beware…
Mondstadt has Diluc
Liyue has Yelan
Inazuma has Ayato
Sumeru has Cyno
Fontaine has Navia
Wriothesley and Navia's demos have the kind of chaos I enjoyed: telling a story. Navia's demo is one of my top 5 favorites, and I'm really excited to see how they do Chlorinde's demo. Can't wait to add both to my team.
What you said about her masking and that she's living in a daydream is very interesting to me since it would make sense with her. It would also fit the theme of Fontaine perfectly. Even so, she is a strong character, not just of strength, but of mind as well.
Navia uses a claymore and her signature weapon is a battleaxe, also the chase actually didn't start at night, it started in the sewer slums beneath the city which is why it was so dark
The first thing I thought when I finished watching Navia's character demo was: I can't wait to see what Philip has to say about this one! I actually notice cinematic language now because of if this channel. Thanks for the awesome breakdown! 😁
12:30 Melus and Silver would have done so much better, smh
Have you watched Genshin Orchestral Concert 2023 in Shanghai？that's 10 of 10！
Recently found your channel and it's really fun to watch you break these down, I don't know anything about what it takes to make a film.
Do you have any original work I can see?
Navia is basically a mob boss. Quests out of her area are filled with references to the Godfather, and there's a scene in Neuvillete's quest where she brings in a group of suspects by… basically inviting them to coffee and they are all sitting there, stiff, deadpan "oh yes, I have always wanted to be. invited. to. coffee [with the Don]. What an opportunity. "
I do love how navias demo has a story but still leaves room for creativity when it comes to setting and other things in the demo
Navia canonically likes to bake and serve macaroons. Yeah, she's making the best of her life situation.
