  3. For anyone that doesn't know, the little pixel character is Naruto's JP VA and the character he's with is Sasuke's JP VA. So definitely a deliberate choice there and they will probably have some fun interactions.

  8. Hello! The description of that video had some information, including character names, but I don’t mind sharing what I know.

    For starters, Natlan seems to be based off the ring of fire, so it takes inspiration from all over

    Characters:
    Mualani (Hydro) – she seems to inspired by Polynesia or maybe Australia. She rode a shark in the former teaser
    Kachina (Geo) – Animal features, she rode a drill in the former teaser, probably a “Child of Echoes” a name for Natlanians from the mining tribe
    Kinich (Dendro — possibly claymore) – also from former teaser
    K’uhul Ajaw (?) — the 2-D dino… thing? He is a “self-proclaimed almighty dragonlord”
    Citlali (Cryo) – Shares a VA with March 7th
    Xilonen (Geo) – Maybe a jaguar hybrid
    Iansan (? Maybe pyro or geo) — from the travail trailer, similar appearance and curse of bad luck to Bennett
    Chasca (I believe cryo, maybe anemo) — worth mentioning: she looks like a parrot
    Mavuika (obviously pyro) — Most probable candidate for archon
    Il Capitano / The Captain (?) — Rank 1 of the Fatui Harbingers, known in Tevyat as the “strongest human”
    Ororon (?) – Standing beside Capitano. Hoyoverse probably purposely hid him, so we should watch out for that

    At the end, Mavuika is probably seeing the Primal Flame. Most likely, she’s talking to either Xbalanque (“One Entombed with Primal Fire” from Neuvillette’s drip-marketing quote) or the Pyro Sovereign (the original elemental dragon). Of course, Xbalanque could be the Pyro Sovereign, so that’s something to consider.

    The six flames represent the six tribes of Natlan, evidenced by the symbols of the flames.

    If I were to guess, Mavuika asks the traveler if they “got all that,” but she’s talking to someone else when she says to close their eyes.

    She also talks about fate, which is a big deal to Genshin’s story. A lot of nations/characters/organizations (like Fontaine, Remuria, Rene, the Tsaritsa, Abyss Order, etc.) are trying to stop, rewrite, and/or disconnect from their fate. It’s worth remembering since Mavuika mentions it twice.

    If anyone else has something to add, feel free to tell me! I know I’m missing a few things (like any additional info on characters we might have or visions I missed)

  14. The place is based on the ring of fire more or less with each tribe representing a different region probably. We don't really know which character belongs to which region yet aside from their names which are Latin America, pre Columbian and Natlan is basically a mix of a lot of regions like Sumeru and Fontaine

  15. Am I the only one who is reminded to that one Mayan ball game by this trailer? It was a ball game with ritualistic associactions, and the losing team was sacrificed at the end of the match (most Mesoamerican cultures had a variation of this game, Pok-a-Tok, and it was played with a solid rubber ball).
    I made the associacion because this is a tournament, and Natlan was introduced by this line in the Teyvat chapter overwiev: The victor shall burn bright, the loosers will turn to ash." This would also explain why the Pyro archon asks Capitano if he's brave enough to compete (implying that the looser can loose much more than just the match) This also explain why the characters featured in the trailer all pass on competing, and throwing the ball as hot potato just as soon as they caught it.
    I don't claim that in Genshin the people who loose will be sacrificed. I just say that regarding where Hoyo took inspiration (Mesoamerican cultures) there is a huge possibility of someone/prob the looser dying by the end of the AQ. (Pyro archon even said that with our blood we will craft our true fate)

  16. Oooh i was thinking what you might say to this trailer when I was watching it!
    Also, you were asking about how many regions are left. After Natlan, we'll have Snezhnaya (the cryo archons' region) and then Kaenri'ah. Those were the ones mentioned in the "travail" trailer prior to Genshin's release at least. But in that trailer, it also says "Teyvat Chapter" so perhaps there is even more to come after that, since that makes it sound like it's only part of the whole story.

  24. The longer we wait for Natlan,the bigger the hype becomes
    As for characters,mualani is the blue girl,with Kachina the short girl next to her,Kinich (seemingly fan favorite) green boy,then there’s Citlali,throwing the ball to Xilonen,bouncing off of Iansan (a character we’ve known since the near beginning of the game),Chasca,and finally our presumed pyro archon Mavuika,and Ororon next to Capitano of the fatui

    Seems like Natlan might be some sort of tournament arc.sort of reminds me of warrior cats of all things? Super excited for the (likely) third to last nation.pulling for Kinich,he took my heart at first sight like many others

  25. I cannot put into words how much i look forward to Natlan. The Characters, the Music, the Location. It is all so wonderful.

    Especially the part of the music when the pyro Archon is shown, it gives me goosebumps so hard.

    I think many people, are rightfully so, excited for the new story and characters with each new chapter. But for quite some time, i think to myself, "how will hoyo-mix blow me away this time?" with each new area. ❤❤

  27. Love me tournaments arcs a lot, one I always remember is Fairy Tail’s I think they nailed it. And as per usual something will happen, the tournaments won’t finish smoothly ofc they won’t. One thing I like the tournament arc actually being part of the Archon quest, is that it won’t be like a smaller scale event like the interdarshan championship which was great but I felt, ever since we knew about the 6 tribes that a similar event would happen for Natlan. Being part of the main story tho, it makes it different and fresh enough for me, like obviously the implications here are bigger

  29. So we dont know exactly but everything tells that it is based in the pacific ring of fire and all the different tribes that live in it, that makes sense, since all the the characters seem to have names from different tribes, like Australia, Mexico and more

  31. Natlan meant to be a nation of tribes and war. So my guess is that ball is to call all the tribes together for the battle to see which tribe is the strongest. As the girl said in the tree "It's that time of year again".

    The big guy is Il Capitano is one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers

  32. She was speaking to the Primal Flame in the end, basically the origin of the Pyro Archons powers and symbolization of all of Natlans 6 Tribes, which are avatarized by Xbalanque, the Pyro Sovereign to which Mavuika spoke at the end – thats at least my impression of that scene to whom she spoke in the end, because Xbalanque was the Pyro Archon BEFORE of her, and my thought of the "Ode of Ressourrection" is, that this Tournaments ulterior motive is to gain some form of energy/ressource from the collected "Fighting Spirit" combatants in the Tournament will "emit", which is somethign needed in Natlan in order to form some kind of Resurrection Ritual with that the Pyro Archon wants to revive somebody – but who and wherefore, thats unclear…the Fatui see in this eventually a chance to revive/rebirth Signora – thats at least what many other players surely are hoping here 😀 we will see…

    Personally I hope for it, that this Tournament Art becomes some great epic by Hunger Games inspired (Tributes of Panem), which were epic and wonderful movies with great actorsabout some form of Tournament, that burned itself from the very first minute into our all memories forever, and I think it woudl be just a great inspirational hommage to these movies, ifGenshin Impact would have some kind of similar style tournament in Natlan, which gets turned then also into some form of cool new Endgame PvP Mode with dedicated PvP Skill Sets for that game Mode :3 that would be so damn awesome, if Natlan doesn't add just only Mounts as feature into the game, but also PvP Combat in a way, that it works balanced for everybody, so that Whale Players dont have any P2W advantages, because whoever participates in that new mode, is all the samne, everybody using the same builds – nobody beign able to be more powerful than others, by spending multiple thousands of dollars into their accounts,, over players, which dont do that. Then this kind of PvP on genshin easily coudl become a very great success for the game, which will definetely revitalize Genshin and would set the benchmark for all other competitive Gacha Games – especially Wuthering Waves now, if Genshin becomes the first big Gacha Game worldwide, that offers a dedicated balanced PvP Mode.

  33. My favorite part of a new animation being released is watching your reaction to it. It’s so cool being able to decode so much through visual storytelling despite no context lol

  39. Hello @PhilipHarts. A small pieces of info:
    -The red hair girl (Mavuika) its the Pyro Anchor. In addition, her design its a "only a little similar" with Himeko of Honkai Impact 3rd (I bet you remember her from the video "The Final Lesson").
    -The seiyus in japanese of the guy from the start and the thing with he are the seiyus of Sasuke and Naruto respectly (Its obvious that was a deliberate election XD).
    -The big man who the archon asks if he will participate in the tournament is Capitano, one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, who we saw in the "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer (before Sumeru).
    -The character whose head is hit by the ball is the one we saw in the first Genshin trailer (Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail).

    Now, talking about the trailer itself…

    -Great work with the music to emphasize certain moments.

    -It is interesting how in the scene at min 2:55 you can see how every time the archon takes a step the ground lights up. Maybe I'm just rambling, but if we add to the above the tone of mystery of that scene and the dialogues, I personally feel like it was the metaphor of "a light breaking through the darkness."

    -About what you mention at 18:30, I also thought it was talking to us, but it seems more like it's talking to what appear to be burning tribal symbols (or whatever they represent in the story).
    Regards ^^

  40. I believe is Mayan background (or a mix of latin american cultures), the visions look like that too. Ignition I think is because it is the Nation of Fire. The Pyro Archon is supposedly to be dead, But Arcons have no visions, and I haven't seen her with one (in the teaser), but also could be a pyro dragon too (like Neuvillette; in another teaser you can see a dragon.). I think that big guy is Capitano, one of the 11 Harbingers (or just one high ranked Fatui). One thing is for sure I'm so excited for this new region.
    Still remaining (I'm a bit old and my memory can be affected by that): Snezhnaya (Cryo) region, Khaenri'ah and Celestia.

  48. Unfortunately, agian we see whitewashing of characters based off regions that have PoC. She is Latin American themed, with her name deriving from the Azteca culture.

    The more Genshin evolves, unfortunately it drives me away from the game more and more. Its a shame to see PoC themes in this game but not the people. And when you do that, you are profiting off of a culture without including the people of the culture
