  1. I'll say, the first main region coming back in the ending makes sense. the first world, area and map is always a home to a player when you mess that up it makes the player even more uncomfortable and sad by the turn of events, that once peaceful safe haven is no more.

  2. Also about Lisa, she did in fact made a trade with "time and knowledge" which basically means that her life got shorten to have more knowledge. Most likely shes aware of what's happening

  3. So, I thought about something while watching this that I hadn't considered before…

    During the 3.5 stream, you mentioned the new Dain quest looked like Enkanomiya, and just now, I realized that the Dain quests so far have always been in the last region that got unlocked. 1st in Mondstadt when we had up to Liyue, then in Liyue when Inazuma was out. So maybe you're on to something with it being a return to Enkanomiya? Super farfetched probably, but we don't have Dain in Inazuma yet so

  4. Bran, when you mentioned the statue overlooking musk reef, I remembered that in our world, there are theorists who think that the ancient peoples believed in something called ā€œearth energiesā€ and that there are lines that connect all these together. That’s why so many important historic landmarks seem to have been built on a line when you connect them on the map. These demarcations are called Ley lines. So far in game we only know something about where these lines may be because of the blossoms that spawn in the overworld and the irminsul trees, but what if the lines aren’t just demarcated by natural phenomena, but by man made landmarks too? Guess what else is on the same line as the Venti statue and Musk Reef? Stormterror’s lair. And what do we know about Stormterrors lair? That there is an inaccessible portion beneath the tower. A space we have not yet been granted access to and which Paimon uniquely tells you to ā€œWatch out! Don’t go near there,ā€ when you get too close. Battle music also doesn’t not play there. Interestingly, one of Old Mondstatd’s entrances is located North-West, on the same line as the Venti Statue and Musk Reef. There’s a theory this entrance leads to Snezhnaya and this is also where the only fatui in the zone are located. It would be crazy if the cathedral in Snezhnaya, which bears the same symbol as the Cathedral in Mondstadt, also intersects this line.
    Aside from this, there are also several gates in Liyue that point to Celestia and Musk Reef. I wonder what would happen if we were to intersect all these lines together.
    We know Genshin draws from real life, and Ley Lines have been a thing since its inception. There’s no way the writers wouldn’t have thought to take from the original inspiration and put important Genshin landmarks on a line that crosses through all of them. The question would be ā€˜why?’

  5. in the intro, Traveler and their sibling went to Teyvat from another world, then they wanted to leave, got stopped by unknown god and kicked back to Teyvat, so those Paimon's words are just recollection of what Traveler said.

    But the theory of the cycle is pretty interesting – our "sibling" had the companion in the past too, so maybe it was the abyss herald + sibling (abyss herald did say that he was better companion to the sibling than Paimon is to Traveler), then sibling + Traveler, now it's Traveler + Paimon, and maybe it'll be Paimon + someone else? That would play well to what Traveler's sibling said to Traveler in Liyue: sibling implied that Traveler needs to go thru entirety of journey themselves, and not to rush, because they have time. Also note that our sibling has the parts that corresponds to element active at the moment white – perhaps it's the light element? One that you would possibly get from celestia, at the end of the journey?

    and maybe at the end of the cycle one of existing civilizations/nations is destroyed, like Khaenri'ah and those before it? That would mean it's 1 civilization per circle, and that is why sibling is so hellbent on fighting the fate and restoring Khaenri'ah – to stop the cycle that leads to destruction of a nation every time

    bonus: I think Mondstadt is so important because Khaenri'ah was bordering with it. The abyss spiral, that hidden island with clock thingy – those might be the very last things on the main map that are left of the area where Khaenri'ah was

  6. If venti had another story quest… It will be about Istaroth…cuz after Sumeru's 3.3 archon quest an unknown voiced talk to traveller about the "Rewind, Stop, Froze, change the time/scenario that happened in Teyvat" and also Venti is connected through time on his Demo trailer and… No more spoiler i think

  7. Hey Bran I missed your last stream but I'm watching it now and I think there's something to add to your discussion on swimming underwater in Fontaine.

    There's this npc in Sumeru (i believe near the lighthouse) who talks about diving in Fontaine. The water is too poluted to be able to dive in Fontaine, which is why he likes Sumeru. I mean, we could still get a diving mechanic but just so you know.

    I love this original theory by the way. I never realised the church has the same shape as the door in the intro and now I can't unsee it. I have 2 more things to add: in the picture of the official mondstadt ost on YouTube, Celestia is placed directly above the city. And the second: in the intro we see the twins flying towards Musk Reef and that's all we paid attention to because the spiral abyss is located there. But where are they coming from? We see them passing the church and i bet they're coming from the gate and/or Celestia thats somewhere above (or below) the church.

  8. You just blow my mind away and literally open up a new theory about the statue and the Cathedral….

    WHAT IF THE STATUE IS A "KEY" BECAUSE OF WHAT HAVE YOU SAID IT CAN ROTATE IN SOME WAY AND WHEN THE TIME COMES AND IT ACTUALLY ROTATES AND OPEN UP "THE GATEWAY" TO CELESTIA

    AND WHAT IF UNDER STORMTERRORS LAIR IS KAENRIAH..

  9. Well.. What you noticed about the 8-branches snowflake in the Momdstadt cathedral and then tried to find the comparison with the 6-branches snowflake on the ground of the Fatui cathedral is right. Just look at the flag banners at 7:32 and here you have your 8-branches snowflakes aha 😊

  10. Don't we know they were in teyvat then lumine wakes aether and they leave, paimkn is recounting your story. Unknown God being dains companion is very high chance, will be interesting to see who is above lumine in the abyss order and where they belong in all this

  11. I honestly thought I have watched all the theorists and satisfied myself with their own understanding of the lore of the game BUT Branonline opened again another door to mystery. Thanks for the wonderful video!

  12. I just wanna point out that the text on the screen around 3:33 where it says "Eternity is Cyclical" may actually be confirmed a bit by Raiden as she says "Eternity is closest to the heavenly principles" indicating that's what they pursue in Celestia also
