I think paimon is a seelie. i found an interesting line from arana quest arama sys like this ,Aseelie? In the ancient stories,Seelies were great race with wisdom and beauty beyond the pale of this earth. They traveld with Nara and taught Nara languages and philosophy of nature.
pov: orange juice come up with a new theory, "it was khaenri'ah"
I think something that disproves the "one of the siblings is the heir" is the fact that if one of them were, the gender for the heir would've been different depending on which twin you chose
You missed an achievement in 4:35 lol, you should have let the kid win XD.
I always watch that cutscene bc I miss Venti's storytelling :'))
This adds more to the list of things to consider, like Signora might still be alive cuz the elemental effects that appeared when she "died" was of Pyro, but she's on her "delusion" form, the one we first saw ever…
About the BP intro, I've always thought that the crowned heirs were also a pair of twins, like Aether and Lumine but isn't necessarily them. So initially, I thought that the BP story simply mirrors that of Lumine's and Aether's, which may have also happened before them, which made me think of Dainsleif as probably one of the twins in the BP story…
I actually watch the battle pass cutscene AT LEAST every other time it comes up, I just thinks its cool (and the only cutscene we can replay) plus trying to ponder its meaning myself– plus it's mah boi venti speaking
This is the story of your journey. You were a noble person who decided never to spend money and keep your profile as F2P in the game. Then you had the urge to buy battle pass by saying yourself it's only $10. You then believed that you made the right choice with that purchase. But once you have done it, you became miHoYo's victim. Later, the next version came up with the new battle pass. You are now the second crowned heir who is going to take up the same path. This is the story of your journey of your tale to be told.
It's been 2 years and there's still no changes to battle pass rewards. wtf is wrong with this game ?!
You have a guaranteed but you ended up winning 50/50 so you are for sure getting nahida…. ?????? This doesn't make sense at all lol
My thought is that it was always the travelers the first crupted the jerony that we don’t see of Lumain and the second is us because you know it literally says this is your story(I’m not done if she says this I’m sorry)
I have a theory that the second heir would be corrupted too since this story is quite similar to the story of Adam and eve.
you really shouldnt base your theories on the idea that you just want to fit paimon somewhere in the storyline. thats not why theories should be believed, nor did you provide any evidence on why paimon fits the role. paimon not having her memories dont count, as we dont know if she actually lost her memories or had none to begin with. i love looking into other peoples theories but when your basis is just " i want to force paimons existence into the current story"
I always thought it was about lumine and aether
well i think the first was the unknown god and 2nd would be paimon °-|-°
i was wondering if they were Kate and Kevin www
Tbh I watch the Battle Pass Video every time it shows up. I'm playing in Japanese Dub and the Music in the Video + the Voice Acting (is it the same as Ventis?) Is just amazing
Give it a try 
But after watching it in English Dub I can clearly see why u guys r skipping it
Use to watch it back to analyse it… Then skipped it. It's nothing to do with the Traveler.
It could be the throne of Phanes, land of darkness could be the original land of the dragons or the other realms that was separate from the relam of dragon the relams of light (human) and void.
As mentioned in Enkanomiya
Paimon is Istaroth, Venti's mommy
I think the snake is Dainsleiff, he was Lumines partner and traveled with her around Kahnriah. Dainsleff couldn’t protect his civilization, which in the eyes of lumine is seen as a traitorous act. The traveler is the prince and because he travels with Paimon and not dainsleff he isn’t influenced as much by khanriah. So is he is “pure” in Celestias eyes.
The only thing I care about the battlepass is that it's a garbage fck. You get tye same thing over and over again so I don't care.
I think that the Snake, the Pearl, & the Dark Kingdom is older than 500 years old, so it's a Good Theory…Khaenri'ah was assisted by the Underworld itself, which is the Abyss where all the Ancient Civilization gathered Forbidden Knowledge, Power, & Technology to develop their Nations.
Abyss is like Underworld where the Dark Element resides & where the Nightmother lives…It is said that the Abyss influenced Ancient Kingdoms like Sal Vindagnyr….Tsurumi Civilization older than Ruu's Tribe….Enkanomiya's 1st ruler which is the Dark Serpent that Orobashi Killed….& even the Upside-down Ancient Lost City inside the Chasm…which dated even before the 1st Celestia where Phanes ruled around 5000 to 10,000 years ago, even before the Archon War.
I've heard that before the Archon War…even the Selie Race, Wisp Race, Vishap Race, & other Gods run from the 2nd Celestia ruler after the 2 of the 3 Lunar Sisters died…& after the fall of the 4 Shades of Phanes….all of them evacuated under the Dark Sea which is the Abyss…where Nightmother & the Abyss Order resides. It is also where the Dark Mud from the Chasm came from….the Withering which made the Sumeru's Half Forest Part become a vast Desert Area came also from the Abyss….& the Curse that fallen to Khaenri'ah because of Gold's Experiments also came from there.
Celestia had no choice but to destroy all of those Ancient Civilizations by Nuking them with Celestial Nails to reduce the spread of the Dark Curse that came from the Abyss which is an Infection to all Life that will destroy the whole world.
I massively get the feeling you overanalyze there, besides it is actually pretty safe that lumine and ether are the hairs since in the first cutscene where the siblings meet again at least lumine states that she was the princess of kanriaah (the deceiving princess) while two heirs to the same are most likely siblings, not to forget that the depictions look waaay to similar to the siblings, hereby the crowns just being a sign of nobility rather than an actual accessorie.
I also think you are taking the snake too literate, snakes are just a common depiction/ symbol of deception (for example biblical genesis story.
Also just something i noticed, outside of multiplayer, paimon shows a very particular skill everyone saw and everyone took for granted….the ability to stop time (when opening the menu the only thing moving is actually paimon what is weird considering they could just have her left out or the menu in active time like it is in multiplayer and as far as i recall, one of the genesis gods is aligned to time and hourglasses.
Maybe Celestia just still wants that "genesis pearl" and paimon should help us find it
so is it just me that thinks the first heir is the abyss sibling and the traveler is the only heir left that hasnt been "corrupted" by the abyss. i think the first heir was chosen by the unknown god at the start as the abyss sibling does state they had completed their journey with dainsleif which could mean their quest for the pearl but ended up switching sides and becoming the abyss prince/princess. but thats my take on it.
loved the vid <3
Oj: everyone skips it
Me who doesn't: 0-0
Isn't this a little outdated now? Our understanding of the assumed conflict between Celestia and Khaenri'ah has shifted a little since Sumeru dropped some Khaenri'ah lore bombs that hint that Celestia was helping Khaenri'ah fight Abyss creatures.
i always watch the cutscene tbh the music is so pretty and the whole thing is so mysterious
I thought the first times it's about fishl as she is the Prinzessin of the evernight kingdom.. but makes no sense retrospectively
cool theory and all….. but i demand the nilou build
the Snake and the female heir getting corrupter could be just a referance to adam and eve
One thing I concluded from watching the Gnostic Chorus is that the male heir has a really good chance of being Dainsleif. The guard of the sword he holds in the end represents that of the shape of a Twilight over the horizon; and it would fit his title of Twilight Sword. This is just a design observation so I take it with a grain of salt, but Hoyo is known to use design to hint at things.
"Be honest, how many of you actually watch the cutscene…"
I do because I like hearing Venti's voice. This is also a ritual for Venti to come home in a next rerun. VENTI COME HOME.
I haven’t skipped once. I just like hearing Venti
COME INTO BEING
I skipped after the 4th time
I'm thinking Lumine was the first crowned heir. She obviously went through our journey before the traveler (Venti's line about knowing us from before and the aranaras) and our traveler is the second crowned heir. I'm thinking the primordial one was always good, the evil ones are actually Celestia. Lumine went to their side because she saw the Celestia was evil, and the perspective of this story is from Venti, so he would portray Celestia as good.
I think the twins are the ones in the battle pass and we are searching for the pearl, but we kind of got distracted LOL
My personal theory – that the current storyline is already written
Venti is telling the story in future tense
the snake on baizhu?
Paimon could be the seed?
Kinda like tear of gods from dragon quest.
We should take note that it is venti who is narrating the story
But it appears that he is talking to us(Aether)
Isn't its just a romanticized retelling of the actual story
ite literally the story of the sibblings… they are the heirs of celestia
Venti will always have the most character appearance because of his narration for BP. We want to see Venti in more events even in different regions
Genesis "pearl" . Pearl of wisdom. Wisdom = knowledge. Forbidden knowledge = Genesis pearl = Knowledge of creation. Just my thought process c:
PAIMON WAS BORN FROM AN EGG??
abyss princess lumine go brrr
everybody: listening and trying to understand their theory
me: Watches the gameplay instead
Lol I just thought that it was a metaphor for Aether "saving" Lumine from the Abyss order
