The idea that Sethos used a polearm because that's what Hermanubis used and not because it suited him personally is a great one, since he uses a bow in gameplay
This was honestly one of the best character quests we've had. Cyno is one of my favorite characters in the game and they got me waiting for 2 years to get his lore + Hermanubis + Temple of Silence. I wasn't disappointed! Even most characters from Sumeru showed up in great cameos. The NPCs were relevant and we solved their problems but didn't steal from Cyno or Sethos' protagonism and development. The cutscenes were peak. This should've been his first SQ and we should've gotten Sethos earlier during Sumeru imo, but other than that, so good
It so unfortunate that cyno didn’t get buff after this cutscene. I know mihoyo said that they will not change a character’s kit post release again after they buffed zhongli, but I really wanted to see my favorite electro boy get buffed. Despite that, still an amazing cutscene
@@manilarome9600that’s, unfortunately, just not a satisfying answer, at least not for me. I mean if it were true, it would mean that Cyno has had a lore buff that we didn’t know about until 20 months after his release
@@manilarome9600 but that explanation came just one patch after he was out and still within fontaine's archon quest, and that was the thing about Neuvillette, it felt like an explanation for why he was so powerful, rather than it only being a lore side buff, because even before it was revealed, people were already figuring out that Neuvillette had something more to them and there was pretty rampant speculation that he was the Hydro sovereign. with Cyno, there was no foreshadowing over a potential power increase to match his in game power, because even during Cyno's release, he was getting mixed reviews, and for how much the people who use him have had to invest in him to bring him up to the dps level of other units even within Sumeru, he really felt like he could use a buff in some way shape or form, and this story quest felt like the perfect opportunity to receive one(I know mihoyo won't give him one, but let me hope)
@@hitchicker42 Yes, I like Cyno too. Tbh, even if he's weaker compared to others, as long as you can complete the content with him, he's fine. I saw people beat the abyss with him too. Sadly, Hoyo won't buff someone unless the CN players complain about it like what happened to Zhongli.
At least the King of Gurabad would get his later b/c he pissed off his Djinn wife and she would do everything she could to have him and their family destroyed. It’s crazy how much good Deshret did but everyone after him would just screw everything up thx to greed and human weakness.
the choreography of this fight had me kicking my feet omg it was done so GOOD
Legitimately maybe the best 1 on 1 fight choreography of any genshin cutscene
This fight scene gave me goosebumps love that they finally showed Cyno in Anubis form

The simple explanation is that the Cyno we got from pulling was already buffed from this.

@@hitchicker42 same with Neuvillette. He got released before he got his authority. That's how it is

I still kinda wish Sethos kept his Ba fragment, would be cool if he could his Hermanubis power in a unique way
@@Syiepherze i know right. Sethos with his fragment should be long-ranged dps, while Cyno is close-combat. Would be cool as hell
I just realized sethos’ weapon doesn’t actually exist at least in game. Maybe we’ll see it one day
looks likes its part of xiphos series

He used 4 star weapon and of course he will lose
That spear It's not even in game yet.
@@andizulfan84 is that even a matter. We have catalyst, claymore, and a sword with that design. It’s just like a never-exist sacrificial pole arm.
This fight >>>> Blade vs jingliu
Choreography wise? Pretty true
@@ashrafhakim379 that’s what I’m saying
When Cyno gets his full power shouldn't that mean he gets a buff?
Frist!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
