SUBTITLES ARE AVAILABLE!!
also, in the last chapter, the music suddenly gets louder for a little bit. Sorry!!!
Hey Shadow…i hate Youtube XD. I posted to you my twitter for check my meme, i can't do it as an answer so i edited my original comment, but they deleted too my original comment and our conversation :C. I dont know how to redirect you.
15:19 does anybody know what the name in question is 😭 I need to know it so bad
Wow. You made me think of something! What if the reason we don't see the pyro traveler in the teaser is because this time our elemental power will come directly from the gnosis. So we won't unlock it until version 5.2-5.3. Something like the statue's power is sealed because the gnosis must first find its worthy owner
🫂💙
Fascinating and plausibel
Is it confirmt tho isteroth being shade of time or only good of time because one means Not that thay the same
What if they make Durin playable
1:42 fun fact: I did in fact prepare a drink while starting the video
Susty? Who the heck is *that*?
This event hints at the past of the three moon sisters. The forest world quest hints at the fact that Tevyat is stuck in a time loop. The Metropole world quest indicates that the truth of the history doesn't matter, only what we do next. Whereas the toytanium mines actually depicts the origin of the three moon sisters. Did they create the fake sky and the moon to guide lost humans to Tevyat? Getting transformed into flower when you go on a venture heavily indicates that humans are choosing to turn into hilichurls or something? I got the creeps when I saw them goddesses hang the lamp in the sky.
15:00 Wasn't the third shade revealed in Fontaine's Wings of Merciful, Wrathful Waters as the Shade of Life? "When that first heart was removed, the envoy of Celestia, the leader upon whose shoulders lay the duty to create life, came to the great primeval sea, and there she created another heart." It's heavily implied that this envoy is a Shade who took over the role of the former dragon and helped create the first Hydro Archon Egeria, who ended up weeping and committing the sin of human creation. I think it's pretty likely that the Shade would be this third representation since she seems closely tied to the wishes of living creatures, given how the Shade's creation Egeria wanted more for the Oceanids.
according to Mika character story 4, he has seen Capitano and said that Capitano has dark blue eyes so Capitano is armor theory is dead in a ditch
actually makes sense if this is the last summer event cause I would expect 5.8 being the start of the "end game"
This update was trash
Maybe you're right about this being the last summer event. Maybe next summer, something serious will come out instead of a chill kinda teasing the next nation event
I miss the 2.8 😞
11:37 wouldn’t be surprised if that was true cus there’s a book in Fontaine talking about Ajax/Tartaglia being a primordial person and he is apart of the abyss
Curious, do you think Zhongli has a bigger role in all of this in future? I've seen theories him being one of the shades (cant remember which one). He is OLD and seems kinda sus and cant tell us anything because of a NDA lol
I hope Genshin might not be a dream 😭 I hate the part in Kirara story quest because they hinted something
Man, I’m so burnt out from the game. I skipped all the dialogues while doing the quest. 😂😂😂 the last three summer events were pretty awesome compared to this one.
Natlan chapter will be called an Incandescent ode to ressurection.
It's not a coincidence Durin will be coming back.
Ok. Saving this video incase you called it. 😊
I think the pyro archon will pull a venti and hand their power over to us like he did with duvallin, (I can’t spell his name.) that would be cool as hell. But yours sounds like something they would do I’m always wrong anyway 😂
more important lore in a limited event. wow
5:18 oh no mavuika
Can we please stop calling foreshadowing and setting up future plot points "spoilers"
Please.
What about…simulanka is a time-lapse of Khaenri'ahn history. The forest was what it has been prior to building a kingdom, then the city, and then the cataclysm.
I actually believe the broken sea area and mines also represent inazuma (tatarasuna) cuz that is where we meet wanderer and that's where he and durin bond over their similar pasts
I haven't gone through the whole video yet but I really wonder if the champion frog without confidence is a mirror image of capitano not being brave enough to compete
18:17 i thought all three of the moon sisters died but one of their corpses still remains in the sky
Sorry for deleting my last comment, in all honesty I was a bit embarrassed for misrepresenting the lore, however looking back into it, I have yet to see any mention of Heimarmene being a member of the ordo, So I still feel she'd be the shade/god responsible for fate
As the letter found near the ordo states: "To receive a Vision is to sell oneself to the "fate" of this world — to Heimarmene, and to evermore lose the chance to walk the correct path."
This, to me, does not come off as a letter commenting on past members who have failed, but rather, a further elaboration on what was said. To sell oneself to the "fate" of this world is to sell oneself to Heimarmene, thus forever to walk the incorrect path.
In the Greek myth, Heimarmene is the god of fate associated with the concept of cause and effect. A concept that is quite prevalent in the game. While the causes of events can vary since humans have the free will to make decisions, the effects, however, remain the same, as they are fixed events.
Thus, the beginning of the note:
"…To excise the self is not to die, but rather to die before death. That way, there is no life to be ended. Thus may one achieve eternity. This step is vital, for by this, may one avoid receiving a Vision by some error."
Would make sense in the context of fate being somewhat fixed. As by excising the self, one would be aiming to transcend the ordinary cycle of cause and effect, stepping outside the bounds of conventional fate. In doing so, they would avoid the destiny that would otherwise befall them, achieving a form of eternity beyond the reach of Heimarmene's influence. They are essentially trying to abuse their free will to determine their own outcomes, their own causes.
So to me Heimarmene is most likely the name of the god which controls fate, however if you have any points of contention, I'd love to hear them, I promise not to delete my comments this time around 💀
Durin’s creation sounds very much like how zhongli made Azhdaha. He was a voice without a body and zhongli made him a body and eyes to see. There’s something zhongli is hiding
Very interesting read of the event! Love the name theory. I wonder what would happen if someone were to call the traveler by their name
