FIRST I CLAIM FIRST
I like to imagine the reason the qucusaurs are associated with Anemo and Pyro is because they are actually Anemo saurians, but have undergone "Elemental Absorption " like venti or sucroses Burst and have become Pyro due to Natlans environment
so much lore in 5.2 and I can"t wait to go crazy in it
Too much lor will make me fall asleep so I need some action in my story quest.
Never too much lore…
Someone on Twitter pointed out that the little companion that will be traveling with us in achkanatlan looks very similar to venti true form before he became a god/archon I mean, they even have the three wings on one side thing as well so it makes me wonder if venti is able to disperse abyssal corruption If you think about it, it makes sense in terms of abyssal correct eruption his nation is the cleanest the only time we’ve ever heard about them fighting the abyss was with durin while the others had much bigger problems I swear that boy gets more sus the more we learn abt teyvat also I’m still skeptical about the master of the Nightwind saurians what you’re saying, saying does make sense but at the same time they attacks don’t look anemo rewind aligned it could be possible that it’s very faint, but when they’re using their vision sparkles that come out of the eye look like snow particles, or ice flakes but then again I could be wrong I mean their saurian symbol looks really similar to the inazuma statue of the omnipresent God with her wings which is theorized to be isteroth who was also anemo aligned but I guess we’ll have to wait also I’m still not sure abt ifa being a harbinger I mean it feels a bit underwhelming also fun fact his name is also Nigerian just like ororon and in mythology those two deities are associated with each other like how ifa and ororon are friends also I’m hoping ifa is a pyro five star and he’s likely from the flower feather clan
Yippee!
The area above the clouds was actually shown on the PlayStation Japan blog. I’ll leave the decision of looking at it up to you.
A parasitic plant-like structure originating from a chaotic space that tries to imitate the tree-like world. I wonder where I’ve heard that before…
I’m very, very excited for this version. Exploration-wise it looks so much more like what I enjoy. Ochkanatlan especially. I feel like this is going to be Enkanomiya or “???” levels of exciting for lore and exploration players.
well it still kinda makes sense even though this saurian is pyro since they can fly so they are related to anemo
all other saurians do things related to their elements + pyro
the cuqusaurus just reversed this order
On the contrary, I think each tribe represents the reaction associated with Pyro instead, so the Flower-Feather clan should be Pyro Swirl
Great vid as always, I also cannot wait to explore in the next patch!
Regarding the Flower-Feather clan, I feel vindicated as I've been trying to tell everyone that is the pyro tribe, and they keep saying anemo. To the reasons you listed you can add the predominant color their NPCs wear is red. Every other tribe wears the main color associated with their tribe's element, why would this one be the exception? But my main reason is the bangle that Mavuika wears. I took pictures of it when we were able to control her for a bit on the AQ. It's gold and has triangles of every element color except for anemo, where the anemo triangle should have been, it's just plain gold metal. My theory is that Venessa's clan was the anemo tribe that was exiled for some reason, and they ended up in the anemo nation (how poetic… or was it on purpose?). We know what happened to Venessa, but not to the rest of them tho. I truly hope they explore the lore behind the missing anemo tribe, (maybe in one of Mavuika's SQ?).
I do have a question tho, why do you say that the island (Mare Jivari) is to the West of the Children of the Echoes = being close to Khaenri'ah? Khaenri'ah would be to the East of the CotE if we go by its door location and also it was said it is under Sumeru. I believe K is under the area of the map that is mostly empty some has water (south of Petrichor and the north coast of the forest+some of the east of the last desert expansion). Although i suspect Khaenri'ah will have its own underground map like Enkanomiya. The MJ could certainly be a domain but also an island not yet in the map. If we don't go there during 5.X patches + getting more Bennett lore, I'm going to be really disappointed.
If Ifa is the tenth harbinger I am going to lose it
you donno how right you are with that ochkan identity prediction
I'm going to come back to this comment when 5.2 releases and it reveals that Mare Jivari is where the Anemo tribe are.
great vid!
also we actually do have little bit of lore about Bona, forgot which artifact set or readable it was but it mentioned father dying in some hellish place and saying that if it's born a daughter then the mother should name her Bona(very very rough TLDR from my memory)
Though it's possible that ochkan is the sage but to me it looks like sage completed his mission by making a being that was powerful than both dragons and humans by combining both which resulted in a albedo like creature but with more self awareness it can be anything but to me sage probably couldn't become a being that was human yet dragon at the same time he experimented on his own kin ig i just think ochkanatlan is just made for dragons
Also i think the black dragon in mural is different from the pyro sovereign in the mural with xbalanque and it's description is also like that saying it was once a noble dragon who got corrupted and turned everything upside down and we know from the fact that it was indeed the SWC nibelung war that broke the corners of the world
From translation to translation, the state of Natlan leylines kinda varies. Sometimes we are told that they have been totally severed.
Other times we are told that they have been gravely damaged but still exist, and the night kingdom act more like a "pacemaker" rather than a totally "new heart"
Bro broke character when Iktomisaurs pulled up
so there is no cryo saurian ?
NO WAIT I still really want crepus to have been the 10th harbinger
the delusion glove looks similar to the 10th harbingers constellation, with the gaps like fingerless gloves and the ring, as well as the swirly symbol in the middle like the delusion itself
im prob totally wrong
but crepus also has red hair like the vanessa natlan tribe and ik that was proven wrong but just maybe
crepus is the 10th harbinger ill die on this hill😭
