Obviously, this was recorded before I played this on the stream. Pretty interesting what I was thinking about pre playing it. I wasn't too too far off. Especially when thinking about those somber notes. Lots of mystery, discovery, and sadness. A bygone era. When I say "That's no exception for this piece" I meant to say this piece also uses full orchestra and is beautiful like the other pieces I've heard.
K thanks bye 😉
Your knowlegde of music is absolutely amazing! I've watched most of your genshin videos and your always right about the feeling behind the music. It is mindblowing how much you can know by just listening.
Still one of my favorites! (Among many, to be fair)
Man, I haven’t been to Stormterror’s in a while, remembering how sad this theme is makes me want to cry.
Quite lonely and melancholic huh? Yeah, I love this place, and it takes more importance once u know what was this place(no spoiling it haha)
The Stormterror's Lair OSTs, especially "Forlorn Child of Archaic Winds" make me feel like crying because it perfectly portrays Dvalin's sadness and loneliness.
I love this themes 😀
Yay. More Genshin content. Love it. Keep it coming! 😀
One of my fav area soundtracks in the game, it's just gorgeous
Speaking of battle music, wait til you get to Rapid as Wildfires. Actually since you got to Liyue you've probably heard it already, it's the generic Liyue battle theme but it's so good.
Listening to this bgm in your office makes me…
Emotional
🥺
man, I love to see other people listening to the Genshin OST, it's so powerful and calming, this game have one of the bests OST's of all time
sorry my english, I'm a Brazilian
Masterpiece
genshin really has a lot of great musical value, the composer really knows his stuff… btw, if between those reactions I recommend the yu-gi-oh! master duel BGM #4 (all 3 parts), never expected having such an intense theme on a card game XD
Also, you mentioned the final fantasy vibes this song gave you, then you should also check the wishing menu theme
I’d really like to see Moonlike Smile or Fragile Fantasy from the Dragonspine region
Dvalin's Nest is my refuge.
When I have done everything I want to do in Genshin and even in real life, I sometimes open my pc, open up genshin and I just go walking around Dvalin's Nest while listening to this melancholic song.
Makes me remember horrible things I kept remembering up until now. I guess the past never really let me go rest in peace.
Lore trivia: the place this music plays at is also known by other names: Old Mondstadt and Decarabian's Tower. This is the place where Venti was born and where he ascended to become the God of Freedom.
Before he became the anemo archon, Mondstadt was ruled over by a different God named Decarabian, the Tyrant, god of Storms. Decarabian ruled over Mondstadt with an iron fist and created a perpetual cyclone to keep people in. It is in the midst of this when Barbatos was born and joined the people in their plight for freedom.
Aside from that Venti's personal story quest will shed more light on the lore and prepare tissues for your tears.
Everything you described is mostly correct to the creature living in the area you are gonna arrive in the game
Really love this piece of music. But it's sad as well.
Genshin uses 3 orchestras one for each region
Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma
You should also listen to Dvalin’s battle themes, “Riders of the Wind, Onward” and “Caelestinum Finale Termini.” The latter broke me the first time I listened to it independently.
hello marco :> you should react to enkanomiya battle music 😀
here's the link btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHYqbJPLcG0
Maybe next u can listen to rex incognito
I stumbled on this area totally by accident, before I was able to proceed deeper inside. Even without knowing the story up to that point, it felt like a lullaby for the dearly departed, like falling tears that say, "I'm sorry. You deserved so much better and I wasn't able to give it to you."
I have a polarizing relationship with orchestral music. I've seen a full, 100-instrument orchestra used as a shorthand for 'HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS, THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING EVER' so often that it feels really token to me, but stripped-down compositions like this that really let a single, contemplative instrument breathe — it's next-level. Instead of trying to be the biggest, most complex version of everything, it commits to being one thing: a precision strike to the heart. The woodwind gets its chance to mourn; then the piano, then the voice.
I can listen to this theme all day, it's not intrusive it kinda takes your soul in a transe and steals it away. To have this quality of music in a free mobile game is unbelievable to me. I came into genshin for the action combat and stayed for the music. Best part of new content is always the music and it never disappoints.
I'm hoping you could react to Enkanomiya's battle theme named Combat Beneath the Waves! The string instruments is really good in that one!
I was in the stream when you first entered the area and your reaction then was 👌👌
Somebody suggest Marco First battle theme of Chasm 🙂
Also Spoilers…
This is where Venti lost his friend over a millenia ago. Prior to, Venti was a formless wisp and he befriended a bard one day. His friend later led a successful uprising against the previous ruler Decabarian. The bard was fatally wounded and in his death, Venti took on the bard's appearance. The song reflects his grief over that loss, and you can find a grave marked on the outskirts of Stormterror's lair, which I'd suspect to be where Venti's friend was buried. This bit of backstory is why he's a depressed alcoholic.
You should see GENSHIN CONCERT 2021!!! Its Very beautiful and grate job!!!
when roaming in moonstadt, there is this bgm that will always catch me with feels
"A New Day with Hope"
when in the vast grass field or on the top of hill overlooking an area and the bgm kicks in
i just stop, take a breath and sips my tea~
When i first come to dvalin nest aka stormterror lair, this soundtrack really make me feel sad also, cant wait you to journey to inazuma, so much depression there :'(
Why is volume so low? Compared to the Azhdaha video, the volume in this video is really low.
Do humans forget about me?.. Barbatos do you still know me? no ones gonna help me – Dvalin
also check out Ruu's song for Kapacir its emotional too.
walk all over the liyue mountain, go to the shore, use kaeya, make ice bridge until u reach tsurumi island. enjoy music like this.
The exact same thing came to my mind, it sounds so much like the FFVII overworld theme at the beginning and later on it reminds me of the Satorl Masrh (Night) music from the original Xenoblade Chronicles.
When I heard this piece I can also feel Dvalin's sadness 😢
I hope you can try dragon spine's ost too. If you can, try the live performance one with all the choir and stuff, titled "Tales From The Snow Mountain". I think you might like it as well. 🗻
I love stormterror music it does move some feelings I would also suggest listening to The Sealed Harbor for me this is one of the best world themes in the game or Unwavering march but the 1st one is more peaceful
I listen to this music whenever I want to "stay away" from everyone & just stay in my bedroom
1:50 This is when it starts to give me goosebumps!
Seeing you this moved made me tear up a little, too. Also, I gotta watch your stream of this story part, love to see you discovering these story bits.
Edit:
I sometimes just stand still in the game and listen to the music, when a piece that I really like comes on.
still waiting for the battle theme
Your eyes looked like you felt sentimental about this piece. I'd say I relate. The Stormterror location is one of the most depressing places in the game, where theme never changes and you feel so lonely here.
The 3 horsemen of sad stormterror lair music
– A Storm, A Spear and a Sanctum
– Forsaken Child of Ancient Times
– Forlorn Child of Archaic Winds
i know the lore behind the song, but listening to it just feels like heartbreak, when sorrow makes you soft and vulnerable for the world. when you don't have the strength to pretend you're not sad, you know? and you ease yourself into it, you find comfort in that sorrow as you have to when you go through these things.
but it's just my opinion, i don't know much about music haha
I would absolutely LOVE for you to react to T-Kt or Vogel Im Kafig from Attack on Titan. Both make me cry so much they're incredible.
I think you already know, but here, even when we start a fight with enemies, the BGM doesn't change, and it hits harder if you think about the Old Mondstadt tragedy.
