  1. 20:30 I don't remember Sucrose saying anything like the moon is always full. This seems to just be a game mechanic limitation because other literature in-game mentions the moon having phases. Where do you remember Sucrose saying stuff about the moon like that?

  4. I think the most answers really lies on Istaroth, at least that's how I get myself thus far about Genshin's lore.

    And I'm not saying her just being the god of time/wind or venti's mom, I suggest centering her in everything especially in Byakuyakoku Collection. And I don't even constrain her as the mere shade of Primordial One, I really think she could be more.

  6. Simply put… Teyvat is Dream Zanarkand summoned forth by the dreams of they Fayth… the fayth that we find in mount gagazet that summons zanarkand is the irminsul tree… the aeons who safeguard the secrets of dream zanarkand that are summoned by the summoners are the archons…. And celestia is sin and yu yevon is phanes…. The ahlbed is khaenri’ah…. And the traveler is Tidus who witnesses everything as a spectator but one who will judge how the story and the fate of the world will end…. And the abyss is actually the real world encroaching on the dreams created by irminsul.

  8. Seeing your video, I always think back to the bottleland (3.8 event), where everything within the lands are just projections of the memories stored within the Streaming Projector (stated by Idyia herself).

    So, what if the Moons are just giant Projectors? And Constellations are film stocks? That will make the whole Teyvat is just a screening, a stage to play what has been written in a script.

  9. Thanks for the video, but there is one thing missing in it – motives that would explain why the world of illusions was created.
    I don't know if everyone is really dead. I think the abyss is most likely the real world, the reality that is constantly trying to break into the illusion.
    This is hinted by the fact that melusines see the world as it is. A dog that appears instead of a rifthound in a book quest.
    It also explains very well why Sibling is with abyss order because it is the real world, the reality.
    Maybe in reality abyss order doesn't look like we see them. The illusion is likely to distort creatures that enter the illusion and are not bound to Irminsul.
    Although that doesn't explain why the twins don't look like monsters. hmm…

  11. yeah the Teyvat is an gigantic scale illusion theory might be a bust due to one Honkai star rail have a piece of glider that exist in the in their own bubble universe therefore suggest that there is such a planet within genshin universe. Saying everyone died in a way will kinda tick off alot of player in the long run if Hoyoverse presented genshin in that light….Knowing your character died since day one… Why bother playing the game in the first place. Great theory thou. just not buying the whole illusion part.

  14. I think pyro represents death because of Hu Tao’s animation uses butterfly’s and these are also seen in the pyro cube animations. The lava walker set talk about a Phoenix. ch5 is called Ode of resurrection.
