@samizard, you'll change your mind about the drummer if you watch the Travail Trailer. She's the flag barer for the Natlan region. One of the most anticipated characters.
"Nobody fights alone" is the primary theme in Natlan. It's impressive that you were able to recognize how much focus was placed on the other characters and not just Mavuika. The Natlan Archon quest is certainly worth looking into if you're curious to know more.
"That 4 star ass character playing drums." Ororon: *sweats profusely* Iansan over here still catching strays after getting pretty much ignored for the whole archon quest 😂
I actually don't understand what people have against this trailer. The track is nice, the voice is nice and everything else. And they did a Honkai Impact Reference with Never let you go. Perfect
@@aloureluxe4174 I think Hoyo decides themselves what fit into their world or not. And let's be honest. In a few months or at least a year no one will care about this anymore. XD
"...the focus is on everybody, not just the Archon." One of their rallying cries is "In Natlan, no one fights alone." Plus the other six characters represent the Six legendary heroes from 500 years ago who fought beside Mavuika then as well. I pulled Citlali instead, but throwing wishes at Mavuika on the off chance I get lucky.
I previously commented on the Sunday trailer reaction that the piano wasn’t animated correctly, but in the short few seconds that Kinich was playing the keyboard in the video, it was indeed animated correctly!
Knowing that a lot of music related animation (dancing, singing) is done by either motion capture or tracing I'd safely assume that the instruments are all correctly animated. There's a guitarist who actually played chasca's parts that were shown and it was all correct.
"I never will let you go" is a direct reference to Final Lesson from HI3. Also, I didn't realize the singer was from Against the Current. I love them! No wonder I love this song so much. Oh and all those other characters are the modern day inheritors of the ancient names of her friends who died in the driving toward sunset video. So that makes it even more hype. No sadness. Just winning.
Yep! All of the instruments are animated correctly! At least, it seems to be correct with the positioning of the hands on the fretboards, it's a bit tough to see the animations of the fingers with the movement of the camera. I also really love this trailer, and I don't understand the discourse from some people. Sure, I was also taken aback at first when I saw Mavuika singing, but it's so freakin' cool! Different is good! I'm glad you're feeling good enough to be doing regular content, Sami! I can't wait for you to hop back into the Natlan story! Looking forward to it! EDIT: Oof I also lost my 50-50 to Qiqi 😭But I had enough saved up to pull her anyway!
Love this song so much ❤ Gets me very emotional. I don't get the people who are like "this is too different", as if every region so far wasn't different from those before it too 🤷♀️ Went for Mavuika and got her in 4 pulls! She's so cool~ Not the Iansan slander though 😂
The best thing in this trailer was that the song was sang in 4 languages (Eg, CN, Korean and JP) and the JP version was sang by the voice acteress herself And all 4 languages were done greatly
This one grew on me very quickly after several listens, it was quite different from the usual archon trailer but it's so infectious and fun I really love it!
I've seen quite a few of your videos now and finally subscribed after watching this one! You hit every nail on the head with this trailer, people are allowed to like and have fun with this one and the haters can go cry in a corner. This trailer perfectly encompasses everything about this archon and her nation, and you picked that up instantly.
I have seen a video of some one playing the same notes that chasca plays... and even if it sounds a little bit off it certainly is hitting the correct notes, same with the sinth... i wouldn't be surprised if they used mocap on a real band playing the song
Yeah, there was a video about how the guitars were also animated correctly, when it come to Music Hoyo is always good with making sure that stuff is correct it's no wonder they have their own music team with Hoyo Mix. As for Mavuika herself, I do have her, since I lost on Xilonen (skipped Chasca cause of her gameplay) I was able to get that Capturing Radiance event where the limited character is boosted. Working on pulling Citlatli.
i’ve definitely seen some backlash to Mavuika’s trailer - and at least the consensus from what i’ve seen is that her trailer is pretty good but they were expecting something with a similar tone/vibe to Raiden’s trailer? personally when i first watched it i was a bit surprised by the ~✨anime OP✨~ style but it’s grown on me overtime! not enough to become my new fave (that still goes to Furina) but i think i understand what hoyo was going for with Natlan’s whole “nobody fights alone” belief + with Mavuika being a very selfless person it kinda fits that her own trailer doesn’t focus exclusively on her
There are Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions too. Since you're a drummer... Check out a Japanese band, Koiai. They covered Blazing Heart Japanese Version, with their own twist with sick guitar and drum fills.
fun fact, they did the animations CORRECTLY, as in, their fingerwork is on point. Someone made a short video on it and it's pretty much spot on with what you see being animated. Pretty neat. ruclips.net/video/iqgV0fevErI/видео.html
I pulled for Citlali first because I wanted her more. I won her on hard pity. Then I went for Mavuika, and won her on hard pity on Capturing Radiance. My next character is definitely going to be a standard banner character.
Also yeah I've heard from musicians online that all the instruments were animated correctly, but Hoyo is very consistently goated like that, so no surprise there. With regards you Iansan, considering we already got a 4 star Natlan electro character I think she's probably be a 5 star and if I had to bet on it she's probably be an overload based dps catalyst that punches. Idk how that will work exactly but if anyone can pull it off it's probably Hoyo.
i think they recorded the real band first and animate based on that, cause even the guitar chords are accurate and in sync with the music i hope we can see live performance of this song with the original singer
I got mavuika (85pity after tighnari that is 😅) and her sign weapon in 27pity after last pull for neuvillette tome in the banner before. opening 2025 with a bits glory I guess 😄😄
I was waiting for your reaction to Iansen and her drum performance on the drums. People who are calling this cringe are just hating, I think it’s great and I did pull for Mavuika as I skipped everyone since Kinitch as I lost the 5050 so I wanted to be guaranteed the archon and I also got her weapon which looks sick
I returned to playing Genshin a couple of weeks before Mavuika's banner started. Never thought that I would get her in a single 10x pull and her weapon in 20x pulls. Hoyo wants me to simp on Mavuika so hard 😂
Guess you'll gotta pull Iansan at this point. BTW I've had the worst luck in 4 years with this patch. 35k-ish primo and I only got 1 Mavuika, lost 50/50 twice and now I have Jean C6.
To be honest, I strongly doubt that Iansen is a Forster, there were characters with silhouettes in the livestream and they were all 100% five stars and Iansen was included. Since I play in Japanese myself, I prefer the Japanese version of the video because it feels much more immersive since it's really the same voice singing the song that you hear in the game with the character, it always feels more real and tangible, which is not to say that the others weren't good, they are good but it's just a difference whether the voice you know from the game sings the song or just a character stranger.

Oh yes, we’ll definitely be playing and streaming the whole quest as a big series here on the channel!
"The 4* playing the drums"
With all due disrespect, I will go to your home and steal your pillow and replace it for a slightly less comfortable one
Make it so that it is just obvious enough for him to notice but can never find out what went wrong.
>:)
That’s such a good threat tho
that's so evil man XD
😱😱 BANNED
"That 4 star ass character playing drums."
Ororon: *sweats profusely*
Iansan over here still catching strays after getting pretty much ignored for the whole archon quest 😂
por lo menos en la misión legendaria de Mavuika tiene un poco más de relevancia esperemos que en futuras actualizaciones le den su merecido arco
I actually don't understand what people have against this trailer. The track is nice, the voice is nice and everything else.
And they did a Honkai Impact Reference with Never let you go.
Perfect
theyre saying it doesnt fit the world of Genshin just like Mavuika's motorcyle.
Even though in lore, Xianyun/Cloud Retainer has canonically made a scooter and a jet ski among other things. People are just hating to hate
@@aloureluxe4174 I think Hoyo decides themselves what fit into their world or not. And let's be honest. In a few months or at least a year no one will care about this anymore. XD
Mavuika became the most hated archon for a silly reason. I hate people who doom posting her and none of her content reaches well.
Being contrarian is good for their circlejerk, makes them feel relevant and intelligent even though they change nothing 🤷
One of the best trailers they ever done hands down 🥰🙏
It’s the pyro archon, so i expected nothing else😂😌
"...the focus is on everybody, not just the Archon." One of their rallying cries is "In Natlan, no one fights alone." Plus the other six characters represent the Six legendary heroes from 500 years ago who fought beside Mavuika then as well. I pulled Citlali instead, but throwing wishes at Mavuika on the off chance I get lucky.
I did the same thing with my 5.3 pulls as you did. Pulled Citlali and I’m currently throwing pulls at Mavuika in the hopes of getting lucky.
I previously commented on the Sunday trailer reaction that the piano wasn’t animated correctly, but in the short few seconds that Kinich was playing the keyboard in the video, it was indeed animated correctly!
King Kinich at it again. Lord forgive him, for he has synthed.
Yes, the instruments are animated accurately) Chasca's solo as well
I’VE HAD THIS SONG REPEAT SINCE IT CAME OUT.
Knowing that a lot of music related animation (dancing, singing) is done by either motion capture or tracing I'd safely assume that the instruments are all correctly animated. There's a guitarist who actually played chasca's parts that were shown and it was all correct.
"I never will let you go" is a direct reference to Final Lesson from HI3.

Hope your recovery is going well, my guy
As an Argentine, I'm proud that my Archon and her team are playing rock music.
Yep! All of the instruments are animated correctly!
At least, it seems to be correct with the positioning of the hands on the fretboards, it's a bit tough to see the animations of the fingers with the movement of the camera.
I also really love this trailer, and I don't understand the discourse from some people. Sure, I was also taken aback at first when I saw Mavuika singing, but it's so freakin' cool!
Different is good!
I'm glad you're feeling good enough to be doing regular content, Sami! I can't wait for you to hop back into the Natlan story! Looking forward to it!
EDIT: Oof I also lost my 50-50 to Qiqi 😭But I had enough saved up to pull her anyway!
Glad to see you back!
I have been waiting for your reaction! ❤🔥
I had the guarantee for Citlali, won the 50/50 for Mavuika and got Tighnari from standard.
Noice!!!!
Hand me your account data. Go on, give it to me. 😢
Love this song so much ❤ Gets me very emotional. I don't get the people who are like "this is too different", as if every region so far wasn't different from those before it too 🤷♀️
Went for Mavuika and got her in 4 pulls! She's so cool~
Not the Iansan slander though 😂
I hope we get to see you react to the themes of the 5.3 weekly boss Lord of Eroded Primal Fire soon 🙏
Planning on it!
The best thing in this trailer was that the song was sang in 4 languages (Eg, CN, Korean and JP) and the JP version was sang by the voice acteress herself
And all 4 languages were done greatly
Happy to see youre feeling better, Sami!!
This one grew on me very quickly after several listens, it was quite different from the usual archon trailer but it's so infectious and fun I really love it!
Absolute banger, absolute cinema. Fuck the haters. This is the coolest shit.
I've seen quite a few of your videos now and finally subscribed after watching this one!

I love her trailer, totally not disappointed ❤
Iansan is actually a 5 star❤🎉
I have seen a video of some one playing the same notes that chasca plays... and even if it sounds a little bit off it certainly is hitting the correct notes, same with the sinth... i wouldn't be surprised if they used mocap on a real band playing the song
Always remember bro, no one fights alone ❤

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC
i’ve definitely seen some backlash to Mavuika’s trailer - and at least the consensus from what i’ve seen is that her trailer is pretty good but they were expecting something with a similar tone/vibe to Raiden’s trailer?

As someone who plays guitar and bass, I can confidently say that they animated Chasca, Mualani, and Ororon pretty accurately.
The Genshin promos have really been taking note of the success of ZZZ and Star Rail doing all these character music videos.
that beginning itself just deserve massive like. Sudden Himeko jumpscare :P
10/10 video. Seeing you enjoy the genre of this song was wholesome
Himeko 🤝
Hi Sami, hope you are doing better, much love!
I waited for your reaction just for the Drum Section similar to looking forward to MarcoMeatballs take on the Opera in the vids 😅
Yeah Chasca's Solo is accurate. It's actually cool to see
There are Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions too.
Since you're a drummer... Check out a Japanese band, Koiai. They covered Blazing Heart Japanese Version, with their own twist with sick guitar and drum fills.
I REALLY LIKED IT
It’s reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson’s pop rock era and a little bit of Avril Lavigne and Pink. This was really well done. ❤
I could be wrong but they might be using motion capture for musicians
A man of culture and a Himeko enjoyer as well i see.
Don't want to add onto your pain, but I somehow got 2 Mavuika's in a row on my second ten-pull 😅
Congratulations 👊🏻 I’m very happy for you 👊🏻
Goosebumps all over❤ hoyo outdid themselves with this one. Slow clap
I will put this song on repeat 🙂
fun fact, they did the animations CORRECTLY, as in, their fingerwork is on point. Someone made a short video on it and it's pretty much spot on with what you see being animated. Pretty neat. ruclips.net/video/iqgV0fevErI/видео.html
The fact that this got so many dislikes blows my mind. People just stay hating on natlan for 0 reason
I wanna see your reaction and opinion on the 5.3 weekly boss theme
Definitely! (I don’t even know who the new boss is)
THIS IS LIT!❤🔥
I pulled for Citlali first because I wanted her more. I won her on hard pity. Then I went for Mavuika, and won her on hard pity on Capturing Radiance. My next character is definitely going to be a standard banner character.
Oh, you're back? Hope you're doing well!
Also yeah I've heard from musicians online that all the instruments were animated correctly, but Hoyo is very consistently goated like that, so no surprise there.
With regards you Iansan, considering we already got a 4 star Natlan electro character I think she's probably be a 5 star and if I had to bet on it she's probably be an overload based dps catalyst that punches. Idk how that will work exactly but if anyone can pull it off it's probably Hoyo.
genshin music perfection
The only 4-Star character in that band plays the Bass. Ouch.
i think they recorded the real band first and animate based on that, cause even the guitar chords are accurate and in sync with the music
i hope we can see live performance of this song with the original singer
yea most of the accurate ones are mocapped, hope that helps
When I first heard it I was half asleep and I thought it was a Silent Hill song because of the guitar
Ain’t nothin silent about it
@Samizard the first riff sounds like "you're not here" from Silent Hill 3
By the way, since hoyo is so good with music I'm quite sure that they have animated everything correctly!
I lose the 50:50 on Mavuika banner, but I got Her now, but unfortunately I don't have anything else for Citlali, lol
I got mavuika (85pity after tighnari that is 😅) and her sign weapon in 27pity after last pull for neuvillette tome in the banner before. opening 2025 with a bits glory I guess 😄😄
I was waiting for your reaction to Iansen and her drum performance on the drums. People who are calling this cringe are just hating, I think it’s great and I did pull for Mavuika as I skipped everyone since Kinitch as I lost the 5050 so I wanted to be guaranteed the archon and I also got her weapon which looks sick
I believe the japanese VA of iansan is also a drummer
Natlan the nation of musik
I returned to playing Genshin a couple of weeks before Mavuika's banner started. Never thought that I would get her in a single 10x pull and her weapon in 20x pulls. Hoyo wants me to simp on Mavuika so hard 😂
The Iansan disrespect is so funny
Guess you'll gotta pull Iansan at this point.
BTW I've had the worst luck in 4 years with this patch. 35k-ish primo and I only got 1 Mavuika, lost 50/50 twice and now I have Jean C6.
7:45 unnecessary disrespect to Iansan
Whomst??
Plz react to 5.3 version trailer
To be honest, I strongly doubt that Iansen is a Forster, there were characters with silhouettes in the livestream and they were all 100% five stars and Iansen was included. Since I play in Japanese myself, I prefer the Japanese version of the video because it feels much more immersive since it's really the same voice singing the song that you hear in the game with the character, it always feels more real and tangible, which is not to say that the others weren't good, they are good but it's just a difference whether the voice you know from the game sings the song or just a character stranger.
7:40 her names iansan and man I hope she's not a 4 star lol
I don't know man 😅 She definitely feels like 4* bro.
Especially because of Varesa.
If that's the case then natlan just gave us 2 4star kids oof, wish sigewinne was the 4 star instead
@@HarshitSinghRajputwell, don't forget how everybody thought Sigewinne would be 4 star and ended up being a 5 star. 🤷🏾♂️
@ff4810official 👍
我还以为你不会评论这个pv了呢
If I see Himeko, I press record!
@@Samizard😊😊😊
The disrespect on Iansan (the drummer) is unacceptable 😂
Oh cmon', not the Iansan slander.
Hope you're recovering well dude... Yeah, this trailer is the best but sadly, many people didn't like it
Iansan not going to be a 4 star, lol
Ewww the Iansan disrespect get me th out of here
