    To answer your question about when this plays: it's during the demo trailer that hoyoverse makes when they are advertising the characters.

      And it's referring to the Sakura Tree, which was given to Ei by Makoto in a space outside of time in order to fulfill her dreams (now Ei's too) of a transcient eternity.
      If I remember correctly, Makoto even says "...all fades away, and the heavenly principles..." so it is my theory that Ei & Makoto's story is definitely not done yet, for we have seen the dream, but we have seen nothing fade away.

    Holy cow! Once again, you amaze me with your ability to read a melody like an open book. At 0:55 when you mentioned "stillness" I almost flipped my table. How? In the Raiden Shogun character demo, they used the same melody you described in the first part. In that video 3 words depict this character's story - "nothingness", "stillness" and "eternity".
    This piece is complex because it describes Raiden Shuogun's past, present and future in different sections. And Raiden herself is a complex character - calm, still and unmovable at one moment, she can be as ruthless and devastating as a furious thunderstorm.

      Yeah exactly this! while she is not sneaky you cans till say she is like a beast on the prowl when she does not fight but then, when she springs into action she becomes the storm.
      She is also basically normally very cold and calculated because of certain reasons, but when she draws her sword the fight basically gets ended in one swing.

      That being said, i never expect someone to retell me the exact details of character story just by listening the music. It's just people here tend to bend the interpretation to match the story to sing more praises for no reason.

    • @wanderer473
      @wanderer473 2 года назад +2

      She is an assassin, bcz she is a pure warrior. Her role fits her, bcz she is the one who used to always be in front of the battlefield, not like her sister. This is if we talk about raiden ei's personality. But if we want to talk about raiden shogun, that mechanic doll, the music will fit way much better. Bcz raiden shogun doesn't have personality, basically has no forgiveness, ei builds her as a more ferocius and stubborn warrior since her role as a guardian of the eternity (she even won't hesitate to fight ei, her own creator). As for the ninja vibe, i think it's bcz the sound of flute. It goes well with ayato's theme too, and other inazuman characters as well. It resembles japanese vibe. But yeah, she is not a ninja. But still this music has ninja vibe especially in early section

      ​@@Soundwave1900 no he didnt missed completely, he missed it but he did have a point but since there is not much context he just guesses what it is, she is not an assassin or a ninja but she is a shogun. and the puppet is a pure warrior machine that one shot people like that one big white snake i forgor the name got one slashed to death, does that not sound like an assassin to you? she may not be an assassin but she is heck strong that she can assassinate someone in less than a second. and as for the second part "she joins us because she can see a common interest that'd help her to gain what she's lost" is a guess based on what the music is in cause as stated at the beginning he thought that this music theme is when the character joined ur party so of course it missed it completely since this music is in a demo trailer for advertising and not when in game
      and obviously it is not the exact of every little detail about the character story, but the melody hints it, hinting what the character is, its only a hint not exact details.

    This OST really has much more impact when watched with the demo video along with the narrations. But I can understand why you'd prefer reacting to the track itself before watching it.
    Also, you're absolutely right. Personally, I think her history and journey is definitely one with the most strife and frustration shown in game thus far. There's a lot of emotional conveyance throughout her story quest, more so than any other major character. I think a it's a turning point for players to begin seeing different sides to the world in Genshin. What's interesting is that we don't see a resolution until the very end of her sequence of quests.

    You nailed it on the descriptions again. I love how you can tell a character's story just by listening to the music because music ❤️
    Just a suggestion: after listening to the music you should watch the character demo associated with it so you can evaluate how accurate your assessments are 😁 And also I kinda wanna see your reaction to the character trailers as well. Hoyoverse does a great job in telling a story for a character in one short trailer.

    Ahhhhh another Genshin OST where you get the themes pretty much correct, even if its a short Character Demo OST (basically a trailer for an upcoming character) :D
    Another popular Character Demo OST is Rex Incognito (for Zhongli) which is a similar mixture of Asian instrumentation with modern dubstep/beat drops. All 5 star characters in Genshin have their own Trailer OST which lends to their characterisation and themes which is great to see the uniqueness and difference Hoyomix can come up with in a 1-2min short form.
    Can't wait for more from you as usual and hope you enjoy your playthrough of Genshin and hearing these OSTs in context :)

    I love watching these kinds of videos. Seeing another person react to something that often goes underappreciated in video game communities (the music) and fully take it in is really enjoyable, especially when that person is more experienced and knowledgable in music as a whole. I’m a big fan of the game, its characters, and its music, and have basically binged all of your videos on it. You make very good guesses as to the character’s story, style, and personality. If you plan on doing more of these, I recommend Rex Incognito, though there is a tonne of game music to pick from.
    (Also if you plan on doing another League song, I recommend Aphelios’ theme or Pyke’s theme)

    This is from Raiden Shogun's character trailer. Pretty much every character gets one before they come out (not just 5* ones), except for some that released soon after Genshin Impact first came out (Diluc, Jean). These trailers serve as an "introduction" to the characters, who they are, what they're all about etc. In my opinion the music you hear in MOST of these trailers is on par with the music you can hear in the actual game.

    This is the music from her character trailer/demo. It would be interesting if the next time you first react to the music and then watch the trailer/demo. Because those videos are amazing but also they portrait the characters very well. So far you nailed each character personality almost perfectly, so watching the videos to confirm you are right would be very fun.

    P.S. I think you should watch some trailers too, because visuals usually perfectly highlight, or should I say, strengthen the perception of the music. But be careful, there are dozens of demo's or trailers to watch but also spoilers. Both Liyue Archon Quest arc and Inazuma one are thrillingly good, exciting.
    And most importantly, take your time - don't rush and fully enjoy the game's lore, mechanics, character's stories

    Character themes mostly come from out-of-game promotional material, as others have said. Some characters have both a teaser and a demo with different songs, and some have an in-game theme that's different from their demo trailer. Raiden Shogun has a one-off story boss fight with its own music (which is what you already covered), a weekly boss with a different version of that theme, a demo theme AND a teaser theme.
    I still think no demo theme has topped Zhongli's (Rex Incognito) way back in version 1.1, but the demo themes in general tend to be really good and have some fun trivia and some videogame music references, like the opening bassline of Xiao's (Path of Yaksha, though the demo was called Doombane) being the E1M1 theme from the original Doom or Hu Tao's being an arrange of the Luigi's Mansion theme. (That said as I think you already know, the Shogun's motif, and Inazuma's motif, is just Sakura Sakura, a traditional Japanese tune.)
    The only characters with their own in-game theme(s) that aren't also bosses are Yun Jin and Shenhe (The Divine Damsel of Devastation for both, which you also already covered; They're not really themes but Yun Jin also sings in-game during an idle animation, her reaction to entering a snowy area and when you add her to your party, Barbara sings a little tune during an idle and Venti plays a lyre during an idle, and there may be one or two I'm forgetting).

      @@MarcoMeatball I'm not an audiophile so I do not understand the "language of music". However, it is amazing that you can pick out the "visuals" of the cinematic despite not having viewed it. Not only that, you have managed to pick out characteristics about the character, that is not evident at first glance, and was mostly deeply hidden in the lore. Does that mean filmmakers and composers accidentally spoil themselves because they can see between the lines that the layman cannot?
      It is essentially a literary analysis the same way a filmmaker analyzes filming techniques and styles to evoke an emotion. I may not understand what you understood, but it was truly educational.
