Something I LOVED about Mondstadt, is how the Diluc event handled Crepus death. BECAUSE GO DAMN IT, we have quite a few character who's a member of their family died. But no nation tackled it as good as Mondstadt. The letter EVERYONE sent to Diluc where wholesome, and extremely realistic. Which...Is something I really dislike with Inazuma... Because no one talk about all those death. Although, it might be also due to the fact Mondstadt normally don't deal with those situation. But still- Also, people often call Diluc a whiny adult, but honestly, I thought it was clear that his infamous "The Knight of Favonius, always so inefficient" is pretty much him trolling them when they mess up.

at the end of the day I think the reason I love Mondsdat so much is that it didn’t over complicate anything. It was more focused on story beats than it was on lore and trivia. There’s just enough mystery to keep you interested, and the emotional closure with Dvalin and Venti is beautiful to see. It put more emphasis on the emotional moments than on the plot twists and lore. Venti is still one of the games best characters simply because it’s obvious how much he cares about people, despite his own personal problems. His ideals are probably the most righteous of any archon, and that theme is present throughout all of Mondsdat. I really feel like Sumeru’s story would have hit harder were it simpler and less aimed at Big Brain plot twists. Mondsdats story left me satisfied, not confused

Yeah pronunciation errors are fine, it’s the foul language that I hate

I barely started this game like 2 months ago, and as a new power, I agree, I like the stories a lot.

I hate Mondstadt not for the story or the place but because the promise to be more but with no payoff whatsoever with the pass of time in the game

Yes Mondstadt story was fine. What's disappointing was Inaxuma. First you have an uprising, a civil war that boils down immediately as if nothing ever grave happened. Mondstadt, Liyuez Sumeru and Fontaine, with Sumeru and Fontaine the best nations for me (tho i hate sumeru's headache inducing map system. P.s 5:09 i'm glad raiden cremated this biatch. She deserved what she got. Kicking an archon like that just because your lover died or whatever, the proceeds to spread her shit in inazuma. "I am a snezhnayan diplomat! You know what happens if you lay a finger on me!" If I were Ei, I'd reply, "bitch, you're just a diplomat. I'm an archon! You should know the difference in our status and strength!"

You're so right bruh, I didn't give the prologue enough credit

It was short

The game became soooo big for a reason. Imho, Genshin was crafted very carefully and it is very claming to play which is perfect for a casual player like me. Admittedly, it's not perfect but it's the only game that I continue to play years after it releases (I often quit after a month or two) as i'm too invested in the story and characters.

It was an amazing AQ, for an introduction to the world and story. There wouldn't be veteran players if it had been bad, lol.

What if Dvalyn became pc what the story would be? And what is his play style and kits. I'll pull for him he'll be most powerful in Monstadt for sure😁😁

Ngl.........this is purely nostalgia talking

You can tell that they had a very solid story in mind from the very beginning because you can look back after the later quests and notice small things that were actually foreshadowing. Rosalyne saying "I never asked for redemption" in the Inazuma quest is noteworthy to me because it seems like from several different perspectives that Genshin (and Star Rail) is HoYoverse's "redemption" game. There's a thing in HI3 with the "Herrscher of Corruption" resembling an eyeball and from what I can tell is metaphorical for "the audience" (aka us players). It's funny then how Elysia says they've lived with "pride" yet the male characters in the Flamechasers that they clearly put effort into aren't allowed to be playable. Imo it seems to me that from the start of Genshin HYV have sneakily been using the "frog pot boiling" technique to warm the players up to certain things (and sneak it past CN government) like playable male characters, genderless characters, official relationships inc non-straight, etc. and based on the Pyro Gem text it's all gonna "blow up" in Natlan.

I LOVED THE MONDSTADT ARCHON QUEST😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Yeah copers who think wuwa and star rail are god sent games Use ‘how bad mondstadt was’ when it wasn’t bad

Interesting plot and interesting characters ❤️ and at the same time simple to understand ✨ Monstadt remains my fav region up til now

Players have a very nostalgic feeling towards Mondstadt. They say Mondstadt feels like home, and they return to it when they want to relive their first experiences with the game. I doubt anyone will feel this way about Belobog from hsr in the future.

Personally in my case, I had read the prologue of the manga before the game's release, and I adored Venti during Vennessa's story. He's the kind of good trickster character I really like, and he has a lot of tropes that are my favorites. So when I had a good enough computer to try Genshin, which was around 1.2, I was super biased towards Venti and Mondstadt so I needed to know what would happen to his dragon buddy. I'm not sure if I would've been in the same level of investment if we had started with a non-Venti-related conflict. That said, I got hooked immediately with the Liyue archon quest so I dare to say the early Genshin storytelling was my kind of thing regardless since I kept playing to know what happened to the geo archon (even despite being spoiled that the brown sexy man was him).

No it wasnt. Mondstadt and Liyue was boring af. Looking back at it now, the popularity of the game carried it through the first two nations.

11:50 Theorizing a bit here too. Amber is also a hidden important part of the story. We know that her grandfather is from Liyue and she makes Baron Bunnies which are like Yuegui. Amber might very well be a sort of Adeptus. And then she taught Collei how to make her Cullein-Anbar. The girl with a sealed God in her.

I recently started a new account for fun and replaying it made me remember how fun Mondstadt was

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for diving deep into Sethos's potential. I hope that we get that Hangout for both him and Candace. T- T

Compared to other gacha games, Mondstadt's AQ was very good. I usually don't get hooked up by games and usually lose interest in a few weeks or so. Genshin had me hooked immediately with the music, lore and the world of Tevyat. It's already been 8 months since I started playing and I don't think I'll leave anytime soon.

"The Dragon was mean, and then, He was nice. "

💀💀 it was literally awful, how can you look at all the actually good quests we’ve gotten and think that this boring generic slog was good?? Biased as hell 🤡

I think it's perfect. Simple but enough to make people want to know more. Dumping huge lore in the beginning without skip button is a no no. Most players will immediately leave if mondstadt quest served like sumeru quest.

Absolutely the title is correct mondstadt is nostalgic vibe

I've been on the Mostadt Good train for a while. Thanks for the video. Monstadt also pushes players into gameplay hard. Sure the story in fontaine is better, but imagine starting an open world game only to be locked in to hours of Ace Attorney. Genshin was marketed as a game, and the intro tries to show it off as a game first.

the moniker of "Sir" is specifically for knights, historically speaking.

Yeah they dont throw 1339082109 scifi jargon in the first hour just to sound deep like wuwa.

I agree with a lot of points you make. I suspect that the reason Mondstat is often overlooked is mainly just because of recency bias and people considering production value to be the same as quality. It's vastly underrated imo and I'm glad to see others talk about it too

Watching my kid play through 2 years after I did it... holy cow venti has a lot going on. Like not even hidden. I just didn't know to notice.

There is a reason why Mondstadt became home to a lot of players. Even now in polls, Mondstadt always scores relatvely higher because of how it was a well established place and its people the most welcoming. I like Wuwa as a game, but the story still needs to get a good pacing and while the end of part 1 seems epic with everyone coming together despite the narrative not really making it a really good payoff for something. Anyway, I have always seen Mondstadt as a strong start and see a very big decline in quality of storytelling in Liyue and Inazuma (which had its moments but mostly meh).

to me Mondstadt will always have its special place in my heart. while my absolute favorite is Sumeru, mondstadt was the reason I started playing Genshin.

Wuwa made a lot of players realise that Mondstadt arc was greatly executed. No overload of information, a simple and intruiging start.

FINALLY, THE RESPECT IT *DESERVES*

Hell yeah, playing WuWa's main quests make realize how good Mondstadt's archon quest was (and somehow stumble upon this video). The story is simple yet interesting, gives you enough information without lore bombing, and entertaining enough even without bombastic cutscene.

Genshin had better livestream, better story, better lore, better worldbuilding, better landscapes, better direction, better pacing, better smooth animation, better voice acting, better sound design, better optimization, better controls, better colors, better visuals, better iconic resemblance, better remembrance, better professionalism, better revenue, and better planning even on it's first day, than whatever the **** happened on that other new game.

it really is surprising how many big important people mondstat has, looking back on it, kaeya, diluc, albedo, klee, mona, maybe mika if the expedition is considered with whatever the hek they're doing Liyue has the adepti but they're kinda lumped together rather than completely separate topics, childe, and yelan is liyue diluc. Inazuma.... uh yae? Tbh it's an island nation and the eternity lock down. Sumeru.... wanderer I guess.... fountaine has arlechinno who's just childe and wanderer, lyney and his sibilings but still fatui, obviously neuvilette, and..... done? In terms of variety and just span of linkage, mondstat is just far ahead. mondstat probably has more ties to the abyss order than any other region.

4 weeks ago i tried new gatcha "Wuthering Waves" which supposed to be Genshin-like. OMG. in the 1st hours they dumped tons on unnecessary exposition, volumes of terminology, dozens of instantly forgettable names and everything in a most forced, unnatural way possible. That was an epic facepalm of immature storytelling. Now, i appreciate GI even more.

Dont worry. They didnt touch this at all. Turns out she has the silly like Cyno. Table Top Gamers have our Waifu now. 😊

Are you from Philippines?

I never understood people who stated things like "story is only got better in Sumeru! Mondstadt is a prologue. And a very effective one. It gives us a seemingly simple story, but i already felt the depth beyond. That was clear to me this is just a tip of the iceberg. And OMG in what tragic mess we stepped now.

So after her SQ's been out, what do you think?

Always have been

it is actually not unusual for knight to govern, Teutonic Order for example govern from a castle with no kings until poland force their submission.

I still prefer the style of the Mondstadt/Liyue Archon Quests. They had more heart and the character moments were better, and in general everything flowed better. Both also had very satisfying conclusions. Modern Genshin relies more on trying to gaslight the player into believing a characters is everything they say they are, without showing them do anything at all, and rely much more on artificial drama and flashy cutscenes. Still some good moments here and there, but I personally would like if they took some notes from the first two archon quests.

I think what Mondstadt did extremely well was give players just enough lore to be intrigued and want to learn more about the world and characters. That and it’s pacing for the first chapter was really good. You would get bits of story and then be freed to explore the available world to your hearts content

Genshin is built on "promise" The way things are written constantly hints at a payoff way down the road and the storytelling is confident, accompanied with the music makes it so the mystery really sells itself, very few games pull this off the way Genshin does. Elden Ring, Zelda are among some of the games that I think has the same mystique built into it.

This is common people forget what they experienced because they make those memories into their own. Instead they remember everything they DIDN'T like or think they don't like. Mostly it is that you only get a puzzle piece a time and very often don't even match until much later. If you revisit the early archon quest a lot of information is hidden in the cut scenes. I can name a few, Venti gives Dvalin "the power of anemo" while being powerless against Signora. His braids are not lighting up while he is doing his magic he is faking it. La Signora is protecting Paimon while battling Venti she is putting Paimon into ice it's done masterfully as usual in Genshin it's not something you pick up on as important. This suggest that they suspect what Paimon is and that she is important to the existence of Theyvat. Later on you encounter Raiden in Inazuma and the same thing happens again
