"Is Genshin Impact actually this lore heavy?" That sensation of the earth shaking underneath you is from every Genshin fan simultaneously collapsing in hysterical laughter. It would have been smaller, but they all also dropped their binders full of timelines, charts, mythological texts, and books of esoteric philosophies.
Just a heads up, If you want to explore genshin for lore, lore is everywhere. It's in books, weapon descriptions, food dish descriptions, character stories, side quests, main story, random fountain outside the opera house, artifact descriptions, and more. There's a hidden place where child sacrifices happened know as Enkanomiya. The lore is very deep and very dark. Also, some of the lore is locked behind events that won't return. Also, the sky is hinted at being fake. There is also flowers that are red thanks to blood soaked battlefields from war. There is so much lore, it's wild.
Forest spirits that calmly accept that their existence is short and are in a cycle of constant rebirth This is one of the more normal things in this game too
I mean, if you do descend once into the lore, you just keep falling into more. I love how some players reacted to the fontaine quests as „omg, the story in this game got so dark now“, and then I think back to the days of aristocracy of mondstadt, the sun children of enkanomiya and what happened in liloupars backstory. The story can be intense, and the only thing I dislike about the lore of this game is that it is mostly locked behind walls of unvoiced quests and scattered around on papers across teyvat, so you rarely can sit down and instantly read the lore, but you have to fight your way to it. And then there is still whatever mr nine wrote in his books in game…
Genshin lore goes fucking insane and it's hidden everywhere. I mean, what other game just tells you that the entire world is (allegedly) trapped in a seemingly infinite repeating timeloop by leaving a piece of paper on the ground. Like imagine if you go to the park and there's a note saying that "btw humans are not the first sentient species."
@@MattTOB618It was more like that piece of paper was found outside of a ruined ancient building that has over 500+ years of history rather than a park.
Animation is difficult bro. Who the heck will spend very loooong gameplay for sponsorship then spend another long hours of animation plus video editing? I bet she had synopsis from sponsor and directions which story should be on Animation. The point of this sponsorship was to promote the new content cuz I've seen a lot of ads and sponsorship from content creators that I've been following for decades but out of no where they got Genshin video. 😂
To be fair, Liyue's story isn't really all that worth mentioning in the first place, it was mid at best, and to me at least, Inazuma was perhaps the worst written arc that Genshin has ever had. Sumeru was the greatest tho, at least until Fontaine happened, after that I just can't decide which region I like better.
Oh boy Nux saying Genshin basically has no story at all is pretty funny...especially with the addition of Fontaine,the story is crazier than ever with fantastic characters. I sure wonder if this video will be the start of a rabbit hole down Genshin impacts story or something of the sorts...
No over arching story. It sounds like a you go to spot on map, something happens on spot on map, you resolve what happens on spot on map, you go to next spot on map, rinse, and repeat. It's a writing style that allows for infinite story potential without the need to question your appearance in events because the story isn't about you but about the people you meet. You aren't going through arcs, the world itself is... but it also reduces if not outright destroys any investment for your character in this game because ultimately you and your character don't matter in the story. You are a literal tool of progression in this world tour quest rather than its driving force towards an overarching goal. Jaiden said it best when she stopped the dragon and saved the city, "Wait, I was looking for my sister..."
yes Genshin is very lore heavy. It just gets a bad reputation from the vocal people who are obsessed with the either the gacha/waifu aspect of it all sometimes. It is more akin to a playable anime
yea, people overestimate the gacha like it's obligatory but actually a lot of people already proved that wrong by using only free characters from the quests, events and the Abyss, the game is not hard
"Lore heavy" is an understatement. Even the goddarn currency has lore behind it. The stories of Mondstadt and Liyue are overall good, though nothing crazy, then there's Inazuma (derogatory), but after that Sumeru and Fontaine quests are absolutely amazing, and we've just witnessed an insane finale to the Fontaine Archon Quest that cemented is as the single best archon quest in the entire game.
Dude, Nux saying this game had no lore was like saying there is no water while raining. I said that before and regret it later. I was like entered a library full of nerds.
You are now legally obligated to watch maxor’s Genshin impact videos Edit: Disregard this, i am a moron, who’s completely forgotten you’ve already done that
If Nux makes a deep lore dive into Genshin Impact I'm scared he'll drown in the attempt. Not from the lore itself mind you, just from all the Rule 34 art that he'll find while searching.
I just have to say, the reason I started playing Genshin Impact, was because I heard the story was interesting. And I do have to say I wasn't disappointed. Yes, the start is hard to get through, but that just makes it so much more worth when the mysteries in Genshin build. Legit, after every Archon Quest this one dude comes and just makes you ask more and more questions. The Archon quest in Fontaine was also incredibly good. Jaiden covered the first arc of the plot without getting into too much detail. And I just want to say I really love this game. Sure it has its downsudes. They are some strange people in the community, and it's a Gacha game. But I mean you don't have to buy anything and it costs nothing to install. I have never spend anything on the game and I still beat the endgame content. Really recommend this game
hello, an official genshin nerd here, Nux I recommend you to at least know the main story of this game, the latest 2 region's story were better than Pain invasion arc in Naruto individually imho and no I'm not apologetic about it ;)
As a genshin player there is a lot of lore, so much and she skipped 5 regions and you get much more enjoyment when you lok at genshin as an mmorpg with a side element of gacha since spending money is not required for anything. It is more story based than gamble based and the game gives you many characters for free when you do events or meet level requirements.
I loved this video before I even saw it. It felt weird that she skipped 3 countries and their arcs, but it was also funny and made sense. She can't spoil the whole thing. I'd like to know her thoughts on Teppei though. Never spent a cent on this game and I have most of the 5-star characters. Granted, I've been playing for the past 2 1/2 years, so that helps. You can play optimally. You just might not always get the characters you want.
It is genuinly a good game, specially being completly free, most problems whit it apear if you try to mi máx your damage and get all the characters, but non of that is really needed, people just get weirdly obsece whit it for some reason
Yeah infamous since it became a huge umbrella that covers every Gacha games under it. If someone said gambling/mobilegame/gachagame/ everybody will point in Genshin like other gacha games never existed. I just don't know where did Nux got that Childpredator allegations, I only heard that from him. That is kinda too far so I doubt he will play the game.
@@horse9722 uhh, which one? The p3d0 allegations? I dunnu I only heard it from here. Everytime in Nux. Only Nux saying that as a "joke" over and over again everytime Genshin was mentioned on his chat. But it seems he really viewed this game in weird way. He doesn't look at it as a game at all.
it only has a bad reputation cuz other gacha games sucks ass and so the biggest gacha game will get the hate when all the critcism only applies to other games in its genres. If it was the exact same type of game, was as big but wasn't gacha at all it's general reputation would be very good. Like the only legitimate thing about it is that the storytelling wasn't good but now in 2023 it doesn't hold as much anymore cuz the storytelling is GOOD, the improvement is very noticable and it's like reading a visual novel with great story where u can use the characters in said visual novel.
For anyone wanting an explanation about the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and Why She Attacks With Cubes: It's a God Kiana thing, which is also used by Herrscher of the Void in _Honkai Impact 3rd_ . Mihoyo loves reusing their older designs, and especially with Kiana because she was the first character they created, way back for _Fly Me 2 The Moon_ where she was a jetpack-using magical girl. I haven't played _GunGirlZ_ , so I can't speak directly about God Kiana, however I am familiar with her as Herrscher of the Void. Herrschers have sovereignty over a conceptual force, and in the case of Void/Sky, the concept is 'space.' She can make portals and teleport pretty much anywhere by using an Imaginary Space as an intermediary. She can also use portals to redirect attacks, and just straight up attacks enemies by slamming them with cubes when she's not slicing or piercing them with her spatial lances. I think they're basically portals shaped like different things, although the most form is just cubes. As White Comet, Kiana can also summon giant mechanical cat paws to swipe at and slam enemies with, called _Neko Charm_ . And in part of one of the chapter-ending animated shorts (Meteoric Salvation), she summons a spatial lance in the shape of a baseball bat (legendary House Kaslana hereditary weapon, which Trailblazer also uses in _Honkai: Star Rail_ for some reason). So yeah, there's not a single player of _HI3_ that could have possibly missed the Sustainer being based on Herrscher of the Void, with even her attacks being very similar. Seeing what she did to her enemies in _Will of the Herrscher_ and _Final Lesson_ , it's easy to see how a person could be frightened by geometry. _HSR_ doesn't have a direct expy of Kiana just yet, but March 7th does have what we call 'Kiana Brain.' We're pretty sure March is an expy of Elysia though. It has to do with her using Ice and a bow, her colour palette, and her obsession with cute things, especially other cute girls.
Genshin Impact has a lot of crazy plotlines. I mean you've seen the Max0r video right? From racist djinn, to Harvard building an Eva to murder mistery and mysterious eldritchian underground caves. It has everything lmao
@@bzzztbzzzt2428 Ohh yea I almost forgot about that. Also basically the let's call it race war that led to people bound to an infinite existance of suffering. Oh man, maybe I should pick up Genshin again x)
....even a rock and a bush has lore.....in a teapot housing system.....WHY ARE MOST DESCRIPTIONS AND STORIES IN THE GAME DEPRESSING?! Oh wait....its mihoyo
The thing about Genshin law is a lot of it is hidden and optional, so a lot of people don’t see much outside of the main story, which is admittedly, sometimes a bit lackluster in the beginning. However, they have really been kicking it up a notch lately with both character and story writing. Fontaine‘s story was fantastic. The lore is also incredibly dark as well if you really look into it . Aka: human experimentation, creatures born from the blood of a giant beast that are adorable, but slightly psychopathic, an entire civilization based on some really twisted psychology- basically horror game concepts hidden behind a mask of generic cutesy anime stuff. Not to mention the music . this game, I say has some of the best video game I’ve ever heard. The composer is phenomenal at storytelling through music.
I thought Genshin wasn't that lore crazy at first, but once you get into it, it really is like an anime or something. Also big waifu booba! Jaiden definitely missed a lot, but it's a good video.
Dude, Mattpat will be having a fieldtrip with this. The Lore community are crazy btches. It makes my brain explode of how and why they do this. They could make a book out of it and sell it.
Genshin is so lore heavy it would probably take at least a year and a half to compile everything that has happened and will happen lol. Like there's lore surrounding characters' backstories, there's lore about the history of regions (some of which is hidden in the lore of equippable weapons and artifacts, and even readable books/pages), the lore about bosses, the lore about the different factions, the lore in limited-time events, the lore behind game mechanics... @_@
What do you mean you need to pay to play optimally? I've been FTP the whole time I've been playing and I have SO MANY characters through sheer luck and saving!
i don't know how to tell you this man, but there are entire channels dedicated to genshin lore. the only reason it isn't talked about is cause everyone is just looking at the characters
Interesting going to the 5th region (fontaine) right after the first (mondsat), but I think her sponser required her to talk about it as that region just got released and this video is just promotion for it. And estimating how long it took her to play the first region + fontaine about adds up time wise. 2nd region was the most boring to me (Liyue) story wise although it was very pretty. The 4th region (Sumeru) has the most lore imo and had the most interesting story at the time split between it's desert and forest.
Please I’m begging don’t watch Matpats Genshin theory’s they are soo bad and don’t even go into the actual lore. They are and feel more like forced ads then anything. Would Recommend Ashikai They are In my opinion the best Genshin theory and story recap channel and make it fun to watch
Ashikai is amazing for her theories and her analysis of real life influences. Another great channel for more recap and analysis style content is catwithbluehat.
Since you mentioned lore, lets do a quick comparison - Monstad lore - "the dragon was bad, and then it was good" Sumeru lore- liloupar the genie hates her own children so much (because they are the product of her husbad who she hates most in the world) she makes her children marry each other, and when the brother grapes the sister because he wanted more genie children to enslave, the genie became very happy (yippee) because she just hates them that much. She also destroyes the economy and stability of gurabad leading the poor slaves to resort to canibalism to survive while thw rich nobles Hoarded all the food. So yeah its definitely a freindly kids game 🥰
You forgot about Decabrian, the former ruler of Mondstadt, having dominion over Anemo alongside Andrius, the Lawrence Klan, Albedo, the Hexenzirkel, etc.
There's also the Inazuma lore where children gets chosen to lead but they're actually just puppets that's easy to manipulate and when they get older and get more knowledge of things they kill them off before choosing another child. Another Inazuma lore is where there's this child who befriended a giant electro bird and everyone in his island is afraid of that large electro bird so when they saw that the bird is close with the child they assumed that the bird wants the child as sacrifice so the villagers took the child cut him up took his blood and shit and other ritual things and upon learning this birdy got mad and killed everyone.
I admit I used to be guilty of making the pedo joke as a fan myself since I've seen a lot of very degenerate people in the community before. But the jokes got so stale whenever morons started taking it seriously and convincing others that the game actually sexualizes children
Regarding the lore, Stupendium made a lore song several months ago that is very good for the basic world structure although as they mention; “The Genshin dimension is pretty intense/ Filled with events too dense to mention.” While the topics explained in that song will become the focus at some point in the future or have been focus upon in readable materials [which there are hours worth of], the current regional stories are barely touched upon. It’s called a “Summary in Sumeru” and is worth checking out for the lore and the song just has a good beat and catchy rhyming schemes. (If not, you could at least pull up some of the staple Lore Theorist channels such as Ashikai, even if you don’t click anything look at the video titles and runtime, even the confirmed content reviews are over 20-30 minutes on average, saying nothing of the actual theories. I’d say this game has lore.)
Ngl i cried at the end of furinas quest, it was tedious as always and took like 2 hours of bland dialogue to get to the end but it was kinda almost worth it, 1 of the best quests in the game, since 4.0 the plot got much heavier and darker and it is really good now about maybe 30% is not unrelated yapping when in 1.0 it was 95%
7:12 Oh my gohosh Nux. Linux Mint is surprisingly easy to get used to. I don't know about other distros cause I've only used Mint Cinnamon for most a year now but from everything I've experienced, complex PPA installations like installing JAVA 17 LTS for Minecraft is the singular worst thing I ever had to do. Everything else are just AppImages and extract-able Tar files with folders containing the EXE equivalent of a double click icon. I have nothing to say about Wine/Proton cause I lack Vulkan entirely.
"Is genshin impact actually this lore heavy?" As a genshin player for over a year now: YES the region you ask this question is during the Mondstat region, which currently has the LEAST lore (there will be more in upcoming years, but for now the least)
One of the main rules of Genshin lore - 90% children shall suffer. Suffering may include but not limited to: Becoming orphaned (the most constant one); Having a meeting with a "friendly" doctor who will inject God Juice into you and experiment on you; Becoming a false puppet-ruler of a nation until you reach teenagehood, at which point you will be burned alive at an artificial sun; Becoming a sacrifice for a bird (that is your friend) by your own tribesman, that includes being skinned alive and drained of blood; Becoming a child slave; After becoming orphaned, having to become a child-assassin for Russia (Snezhnaya)... You get point and i don't remember all of the other examples
I believe because it implies that women are specifically for romantic/sexual interest only even in a fictional capacity, essentially it objectifies women. Which is disrespectful, but it is a bit of a stretch as people of both sides kind of do it by default, depends heavily on the people, some find such words like waifu, husbando, loli, furry etc. offensive, others don't, depends on the common consensus.
@@Ali-cya yea, it is pretty much just a matter of what part of clique you are in as everyone have different standard. Just like how religious people would take something like blasphemy more seriously while non religious don't really give a f
@@Ali-cya By that logic husbandos are derogatory too lel Yeah, think I will try to ignore those peeps (unless they start doing that Reddit r/animeme thing)
@@far4955 Correct, but it's less popular to see it as such since men historically haven't been objectified for their appearance, rather for their use and still are, though it seems men don't find it an issue enough so there is less outrage over it.
@@Ali-cya That's a vocal minority. I've personally never seen anyone IRL who are sensitive to terms such as waifu, husbando, loli etc. at the end of the day it's all fiction made for entertainment purposes. If they don't like it they shouldn't watch it easy
It is lore heavy. And basically everywhere you go, everyone you meet and everything is connected to this story and that story and maybe a hint to that story. I've lost track of everything now.
Someone please get Nux to play Genshin mf wouldn't be able to stop playing it once he starts playing it specially cuz of the mountains full of lore that this game has and I am playing from the start
@@HajimariOwari404yapp same sentiment bruuhhh like Genshin's image were so already ruined for him he is just so done with it even before playing it 😅😅😅
@@tristanmanalo6252 apparently I watched some random video not-related to Genshin including reviews of other games then out of nowhere child-predator meme joke then Genshin image. Now it looks like it is the same level as Roblox.
imagine playing the tutorial + 1 quest... and be already overwhelmed with lore xD and yes there is lore LUL on top of the about 200 hours of quests, there is lore in literally everything you touch. from equipment to random texts and books to small side caracters.
Genshin has insanely massive lore and amazing story. Jaiden only scratched the surface And the murder mystery was amazing, literally the whole fandom was in awe of that quest, so maybe don't talk about things you have zero idea about.
More like 7 weeks if you play it non stop 😅😅😅 That is if it can be played non-stop which is btw impossible because thhe game is time gated by real life daily/weekly/monthly resets 💀💀💀
Genshin Impact lore is weird and convoluted but it's pretty nice. My favorite story stuff was in Liyue ( second region) and my second favorite section is in Sumeru ( I loved the archon quest but some of the side stories are very meh.) If you ever do end up playing, I do recommend not rushing through the game like I did. Take it at your own pace and build a good team. If you go for the character banners, save up for 10 draws as you have a better chance of a 5 star. uhhh Explore like crazy.
A friend of mine started playing 3-4 months ago. I played since 1.2 and its almost the end of 4.2 now. And well, she found a video thats 25h long of events and lore she missed like the golden apple archipelago
the genshin murder mystery quest was actually done really well i was invested throughout the whole thing and there was many plot twists, overall the entire fontaine quest was well written and peak storytelling, genshin's story used to be mid at the start but it got really good later on. Now i mostly play for exploration and story content
3:05 That's called "fighting angry geometry" nowadays. XD 6:11 'twas Lisa, but true. 8:08 Why do you think people asking for a Skip button out of all things? For some there's too much lore.
genshin actually has surprisingly much lore. I started to play it just a little more than a month ago after years of disregarding it as a stupid gacha game. I was pleasantly surprised.
Oh walked blind with a black map to fontain from mondstadt to do an event quest (I mean what do I know I just went there)......... Paimon kept trying to stop me from walking through some areas, but somehow I managed to brute force myself through some dessert ( I got stuck there for a while). Haven't even done Liyue yet.
This is like the first 15 minutes of the game lol. It absolutely IS waifu pokemon, but it is also a huge game too. Legit massive and changes regularly, tons of side quest and secrets. Think of it as Breath of the Wild-aifus
The main quests surround the regions and their god, and every one of them is better than the last. Starting Genshin can feel disappointing since the first quest is mostly a tutorial, but I highly recommend exploring beyond that and experiencing the rest of the game (Fontaine, Sumeru and Inazuma are all gorgeous and filled with lore and adventure). Nothing against the first two regions, but I see people get bored when they first try it because they don't look beyond the tutorial part. Either way, I highly recommend watching some version trailers or character teasers to get an idea of everything the game has to offer! I love seeing your reactions and the trailers might show you the beauty of this game beyond the anime waifus and husbandos.
Honestly if you just go from quest to quest without wasting to much time you can get through the prologue in 3-4 hours. Honestly you can go pretty much anywhere on the map (other than Inazuma) right from AR10.
There's a lot of story, and it takes some time to ramp up and find its rhythm. But then, so did their other games. Hopefully _HSR_ is a bit faster, but in the meantime, we're halfway through _Genshin_ 's Teyvat Chapter now. That's four full regions plus Dragonspine, Enkanomiya, and the Chasm. The map is massive, and there's lore even in the items. Yet players still get angry at Mihoyo when they speedrun the story and run out of stuff to do days after a fresh update. _Genshin_ 's strength is definitely its exploration. The combat is super-casual and easy, and you can clear with any team, or no team at all, just Traveler if you're insane like Moosashi. _GunGirlZ_ is a sidescrolling actioner that goes crazy with Mihoyo's cosmology. It's the game that introduces the Imaginary Tree and the bubble worlds, I think, as well as explaining where that all came from (it's... it grew from Zeus's corpse. The game has characters so powerful you hope they stay asleep and don't roll over weird so they don't destroy half the Tree and the worlds growing on it). _Honkai Impact 3rd_ is Mihoyo's first 3D game, an actioner like _GGZ_ that goes crazy with the story, and explores bubble worlds more. If you like your combat like in _Bayonetta_ and _DMC_ , and you like your story like _Evangelion_ , you'll like this one. It is more optimistic than _GGZ_ , though, both still get regular updates. The combat's pretty wild and flashy, so if you can't deal with flashing lights, probably best to avoid this one. Sorry, Mel. _Tears of Themis_ is a visual novel-styled police procedural with lots of hot guys. Someone who's played it can tell you more about it. _Honkai: Star Rail_ is the hot new turn-based adventure game with a train that goes through space. And of course, _Zenless Zone Zero_ is the stylish rogelike adventure came currently in its second CBT phase, and it'll likely be released within a year if things go as well as they did with _HSR_ . Mihoyo slow down? Un-&^%$ing-likely. Not until they're dominating every genre gaming has to offer. I wonder what their asymmetrical survival game'll look like. Anime-style, no doubt. Everything else is.
I’ll give a brief synopsis of the last two regions so people can realize how dry Jaiden made Fontaine look. Sumeru is the land of wisdom. The land lost its god in the cataclysm that happened 500 years ago. When the regions gods die, a new one is born/ascends to take its place. Sumeru refuses to acknowledge the new god, and is actively trying to destroy anything that doesn’t have academic pursuits while they claim that worshipping the new god is a desecration to the old god. Fontaine is the land of justice, but the land has been condemned by the highest deity in existence, due to the actions of the previous god of Fontaine. The condemning is what is told by Lynette in the video, minus the god weeping “forever”. The current god should be trying to stop the disaster, but it doesn’t appear that she is… Please try Genshin lore Nux
Well as far as story goes, Genshin has more of it than Bethesda's last three games combined. Some of the earlier quest have some writing that suffers from pacing issues but is over all fairly good. As for in game background lore, there is an insane amount. Much like Dark Souls there are whole YT channels dedicated to lore and lore theories. While the moment to moment writing can sometimes suffer from trying to make it digestible to a broad audience (dumbed down) it has been improving in consistency since the tail end of Inazuma (almost two years ago). As for the gambling, it is 100% optional. The game gives you a fair amount of free characters (all of whom are at least decent with a few that are very good). You also get a solid amount of the gambling currency from playing. The game doesn't have a lot of challenging content and what challenging content it does have is not tied to the story. Even that can be cleared without spending a dime though. Basically Genshin isn't pay to win. It is however pay to simp.
well you can easily play genshin without spending any money. the game is very F2P friendly. Game is easy for people who play games regularly , has a strategic mind to understand the states of characters properly you can play genshin .
Hey, he used different a tumbnail expression this time and not that one with him pointing at video of what he is reacting to at different angle each time in the last 14 videos. Nice to know he trying ❤😂
Genshin is one of the best ongoing stories out there today. You'd enjoy this. This animation is recapping and omitting a lot of the detail. It also only seems to be telling the story of prologue, and act 4, the rest of the story between is just as detailed
0:43 I have seen genshin r34 and just searching up genshin r34 and scrolling down Abit u can find paimon and nahida r34 I have never in my life went to find different r34 and being disgusted so fast
The game is pretty, but I've never been caught deeply when I've played it. Every time I try, I get maybe 10-30 minutes in, before never touching it again for at least 6 months to over a year. XD The only reason I tried to pick it up again was for the Venti event, and my friend who *was* very into it wanted me to unlock online mode... Which I still haven't succeeded in doing, and it's already been over a year since my last attempt. At least I won a Venti, though. XD
The game itself has more than just waifus. I started the game the first week it came out because I was still freshed out of BotW and I wanted more 'open world exploration' games and it just so happened that Genshin just came out. The world exploration is great and the waifu/husbando collecting came after. I couldn't stop playing for several hours that I couldn't even stop thinking about it when I was at work. I just wanted to get home and play more. If I was to get isekai'd, Genshin is on my list of worlds I wanted to end up in. (Others being Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, and Harry Potter)
I watched someone streaming it on launch day and quickly noticed how interesting the combat looked and downloaded it right then. Three years later and I still think it has one of the best combat systems of any video game. That said I do think they could do so much more with it but they insist on making everything either 'baby's first action rpg' or a timed dps check. The 'Local Legends' they added in Fontaine was a great addition though. I hope we get more of that sort of thing.
"Is Genshin Impact actually this lore heavy?"
That sensation of the earth shaking underneath you is from every Genshin fan simultaneously collapsing in hysterical laughter. It would have been smaller, but they all also dropped their binders full of timelines, charts, mythological texts, and books of esoteric philosophies.
LORE GANG RISE UP💪
A casual day in the life of a Genshin Lore nerd
Just a heads up, If you want to explore genshin for lore, lore is everywhere. It's in books, weapon descriptions, food dish descriptions, character stories, side quests, main story, random fountain outside the opera house, artifact descriptions, and more. There's a hidden place where child sacrifices happened know as Enkanomiya. The lore is very deep and very dark. Also, some of the lore is locked behind events that won't return. Also, the sky is hinted at being fake. There is also flowers that are red thanks to blood soaked battlefields from war. There is so much lore, it's wild.
And also blue water flowers that are made up from souls of children that died too young. Sea Ganoderma are creepy asf...
Forest spirits that calmly accept that their existence is short and are in a cycle of constant rebirth
This is one of the more normal things in this game too
I mean, if you do descend once into the lore, you just keep falling into more. I love how some players reacted to the fontaine quests as „omg, the story in this game got so dark now“, and then I think back to the days of aristocracy of mondstadt, the sun children of enkanomiya and what happened in liloupars backstory. The story can be intense, and the only thing I dislike about the lore of this game is that it is mostly locked behind walls of unvoiced quests and scattered around on papers across teyvat, so you rarely can sit down and instantly read the lore, but you have to fight your way to it. And then there is still whatever mr nine wrote in his books in game…
The TEAPOT FURNISHINGS ya'll, the FURNISHINGS!
Hey!
There's *at least* two hidden places where child sacrifices happened. Thundersoother Goblet Lore, represent!
Genshin lore goes fucking insane and it's hidden everywhere. I mean, what other game just tells you that the entire world is (allegedly) trapped in a seemingly infinite repeating timeloop by leaving a piece of paper on the ground. Like imagine if you go to the park and there's a note saying that "btw humans are not the first sentient species."
Every fromSoftware game does this
@@IXSICNESS Okay, yeah, that's fair.
Bendy and the Ink Machine / Dark Revival did something similar.
Also, who would believe a random note they found in a park?
@@MattTOB618It was more like that piece of paper was found outside of a ruined ancient building that has over 500+ years of history rather than a park.
Genshin is like 40k made into anime with more consistent story and power scaling.
I find it funny how she just cuts to foantaine and skips three regions
I mean the game lets you once you finish the intro quest you can teleport to a waypoint at the end of sumeru
I think she didn't want to spoil as well as do a small spoiler of the Fontaine story
Animation is difficult bro. Who the heck will spend very loooong gameplay for sponsorship then spend another long hours of animation plus video editing?
I bet she had synopsis from sponsor and directions which story should be on Animation.
The point of this sponsorship was to promote the new content cuz I've seen a lot of ads and sponsorship from content creators that I've been following for decades but out of no where they got Genshin video. 😂
Not much time for a video + the video is sponsored, Hoyo wants Fontaine to be highlighted
To be fair, Liyue's story isn't really all that worth mentioning in the first place, it was mid at best, and to me at least, Inazuma was perhaps the worst written arc that Genshin has ever had. Sumeru was the greatest tho, at least until Fontaine happened, after that I just can't decide which region I like better.
Oh boy Nux saying Genshin basically has no story at all is pretty funny...especially with the addition of Fontaine,the story is crazier than ever with fantastic characters.
I sure wonder if this video will be the start of a rabbit hole down Genshin impacts story or something of the sorts...
the game is a playable anime, every update is like a new episode. You engage with it BECAUSE of the story.
Nah nobody tell him about stull like Dainsleif and Khanreia, or got forbid Carribear, it's just a game about collecting waifus.
Furina
Neuvillette
Navia
Focalors
Hell, we need these types of characters in the big screens today
Genshin is as much of a serialized novel (like The Three Musketeers) as a gatcha action adventure game...
No over arching story. It sounds like a you go to spot on map, something happens on spot on map, you resolve what happens on spot on map, you go to next spot on map, rinse, and repeat.
It's a writing style that allows for infinite story potential without the need to question your appearance in events because the story isn't about you but about the people you meet.
You aren't going through arcs, the world itself is... but it also reduces if not outright destroys any investment for your character in this game because ultimately you and your character don't matter in the story. You are a literal tool of progression in this world tour quest rather than its driving force towards an overarching goal.
Jaiden said it best when she stopped the dragon and saved the city, "Wait, I was looking for my sister..."
yes Genshin is very lore heavy. It just gets a bad reputation from the vocal people who are obsessed with the either the gacha/waifu aspect of it all sometimes. It is more akin to a playable anime
I couldnt have said it better
yea, people overestimate the gacha like it's obligatory but actually a lot of people already proved that wrong by using only free characters from the quests, events and the Abyss, the game is not hard
"Lore heavy" is an understatement. Even the goddarn currency has lore behind it. The stories of Mondstadt and Liyue are overall good, though nothing crazy, then there's Inazuma (derogatory), but after that Sumeru and Fontaine quests are absolutely amazing, and we've just witnessed an insane finale to the Fontaine Archon Quest that cemented is as the single best archon quest in the entire game.
Dude, Nux saying this game had no lore was like saying there is no water while raining. I said that before and regret it later. I was like entered a library full of nerds.
Exactly
You are now legally obligated to watch maxor’s Genshin impact videos
Edit: Disregard this, i am a moron, who’s completely forgotten you’ve already done that
:)
I think he already did it
Oh yea he did...
Huh.
@@lykaios8336 Did he do the new one? My memory is failing me at the moment.
@@ghostshrimp5006 New one? Yes.
Nux.. you can't even belive, how much lore there actually is.
If Nux makes a deep lore dive into Genshin Impact I'm scared he'll drown in the attempt. Not from the lore itself mind you, just from all the Rule 34 art that he'll find while searching.
Real
Just from all the rule-
💀💀💀
I just have to say, the reason I started playing Genshin Impact, was because I heard the story was interesting. And I do have to say I wasn't disappointed. Yes, the start is hard to get through, but that just makes it so much more worth when the mysteries in Genshin build. Legit, after every Archon Quest this one dude comes and just makes you ask more and more questions.
The Archon quest in Fontaine was also incredibly good. Jaiden covered the first arc of the plot without getting into too much detail.
And I just want to say I really love this game. Sure it has its downsudes. They are some strange people in the community, and it's a Gacha game. But I mean you don't have to buy anything and it costs nothing to install. I have never spend anything on the game and I still beat the endgame content. Really recommend this game
The story in fontaine is actually extremely good, I was on the edge of my seat for most of the last act
hello, an official genshin nerd here, Nux I recommend you to at least know the main story of this game, the latest 2 region's story were better than Pain invasion arc in Naruto individually imho
and no I'm not apologetic about it ;)
As a genshin player there is a lot of lore, so much and she skipped 5 regions and you get much more enjoyment when you lok at genshin as an mmorpg with a side element of gacha since spending money is not required for anything. It is more story based than gamble based and the game gives you many characters for free when you do events or meet level requirements.
I loved this video before I even saw it. It felt weird that she skipped 3 countries and their arcs, but it was also funny and made sense. She can't spoil the whole thing. I'd like to know her thoughts on Teppei though.
Never spent a cent on this game and I have most of the 5-star characters. Granted, I've been playing for the past 2 1/2 years, so that helps. You can play optimally. You just might not always get the characters you want.
It is genuinly a good game, specially being completly free, most problems whit it apear if you try to mi máx your damage and get all the characters, but non of that is really needed, people just get weirdly obsece whit it for some reason
I know how infamous genshin is and that it has a bad public image, but i do believe nux would have fun playing it even if only for a few quests.
Yeah infamous since it became a huge umbrella that covers every Gacha games under it. If someone said gambling/mobilegame/gachagame/ everybody will point in Genshin like other gacha games never existed.
I just don't know where did Nux got that Childpredator allegations, I only heard that from him. That is kinda too far so I doubt he will play the game.
@@HajimariOwari404 where did the allegations come from?
@@horse9722 uhh, which one? The p3d0 allegations? I dunnu I only heard it from here. Everytime in Nux. Only Nux saying that as a "joke" over and over again everytime Genshin was mentioned on his chat. But it seems he really viewed this game in weird way. He doesn't look at it as a game at all.
@@HajimariOwari404 he got it from Maxor m pretty sure
it only has a bad reputation cuz other gacha games sucks ass and so the biggest gacha game will get the hate when all the critcism only applies to other games in its genres. If it was the exact same type of game, was as big but wasn't gacha at all it's general reputation would be very good. Like the only legitimate thing about it is that the storytelling wasn't good but now in 2023 it doesn't hold as much anymore cuz the storytelling is GOOD, the improvement is very noticable and it's like reading a visual novel with great story where u can use the characters in said visual novel.
For anyone wanting an explanation about the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and Why She Attacks With Cubes:
It's a God Kiana thing, which is also used by Herrscher of the Void in _Honkai Impact 3rd_ .
Mihoyo loves reusing their older designs, and especially with Kiana because she was the first character they created, way back for _Fly Me 2 The Moon_ where she was a jetpack-using magical girl. I haven't played _GunGirlZ_ , so I can't speak directly about God Kiana, however I am familiar with her as Herrscher of the Void. Herrschers have sovereignty over a conceptual force, and in the case of Void/Sky, the concept is 'space.' She can make portals and teleport pretty much anywhere by using an Imaginary Space as an intermediary. She can also use portals to redirect attacks, and just straight up attacks enemies by slamming them with cubes when she's not slicing or piercing them with her spatial lances. I think they're basically portals shaped like different things, although the most form is just cubes. As White Comet, Kiana can also summon giant mechanical cat paws to swipe at and slam enemies with, called _Neko Charm_ . And in part of one of the chapter-ending animated shorts (Meteoric Salvation), she summons a spatial lance in the shape of a baseball bat (legendary House Kaslana hereditary weapon, which Trailblazer also uses in _Honkai: Star Rail_ for some reason).
So yeah, there's not a single player of _HI3_ that could have possibly missed the Sustainer being based on Herrscher of the Void, with even her attacks being very similar. Seeing what she did to her enemies in _Will of the Herrscher_ and _Final Lesson_ , it's easy to see how a person could be frightened by geometry.
_HSR_ doesn't have a direct expy of Kiana just yet, but March 7th does have what we call 'Kiana Brain.' We're pretty sure March is an expy of Elysia though. It has to do with her using Ice and a bow, her colour palette, and her obsession with cute things, especially other cute girls.
There’s lore for every flower, person, grass on the ground, even this squirrel with a generational grudge
Genshin Impact has a lot of crazy plotlines. I mean you've seen the Max0r video right? From racist djinn, to Harvard building an Eva to murder mistery and mysterious eldritchian underground caves. It has everything lmao
Child sacrifices in two instances just from the top of my head, ghosts, monsters, time loops etc. it is wild
@@bzzztbzzzt2428 Ohh yea I almost forgot about that. Also basically the let's call it race war that led to people bound to an infinite existance of suffering. Oh man, maybe I should pick up Genshin again x)
Swords coming out of cleavage, frog dragons, murderous geometry, leaf gnomes, Genshin has it all!
another social justice warrior... there's nothing racist about the djinn.
....even a rock and a bush has lore.....in a teapot housing system.....WHY ARE MOST DESCRIPTIONS AND STORIES IN THE GAME DEPRESSING?! Oh wait....its mihoyo
The thing about Genshin law is a lot of it is hidden and optional, so a lot of people don’t see much outside of the main story, which is admittedly, sometimes a bit lackluster in the beginning. However, they have really been kicking it up a notch lately with both character and story writing. Fontaine‘s story was fantastic.
The lore is also incredibly dark as well if you really look into it . Aka: human experimentation, creatures born from the blood of a giant beast that are adorable, but slightly psychopathic, an entire civilization based on some really twisted psychology- basically horror game concepts hidden behind a mask of generic cutesy anime stuff.
Not to mention the music . this game, I say has some of the best video game I’ve ever heard. The composer is phenomenal at storytelling through music.
I thought Genshin wasn't that lore crazy at first, but once you get into it, it really is like an anime or something. Also big waifu booba! Jaiden definitely missed a lot, but it's a good video.
Yeah, the Khaenriah stuff is when the lore gets DEEP. Like, it was surprisingly dark so suddenly.
Stop being cringe pls. Big husbando asses is what normal people come for. And lore
Dude, Mattpat will be having a fieldtrip with this. The Lore community are crazy btches. It makes my brain explode of how and why they do this. They could make a book out of it and sell it.
Anime WISHES it could get as complicated and deep as genshin lore let's be real
Tiny waifu booba are superior tho
honestly, I think every region/chapter the Archon Quests (Main Story) gets noticeably better. The latest one (Fontaine) was fantastic.
Genshin is so lore heavy it would probably take at least a year and a half to compile everything that has happened and will happen lol.
Like there's lore surrounding characters' backstories, there's lore about the history of regions (some of which is hidden in the lore of equippable weapons and artifacts, and even readable books/pages), the lore about bosses, the lore about the different factions, the lore in limited-time events, the lore behind game mechanics... @_@
Yeah Genshin is incredibly lore heavy if you look into it.
Lore heavy is a understatement
What do you mean you need to pay to play optimally? I've been FTP the whole time I've been playing and I have SO MANY characters through sheer luck and saving!
They will never know
And what I mean by they, them whales 😅😅😅
i don't know how to tell you this man, but there are entire channels dedicated to genshin lore. the only reason it isn't talked about is cause everyone is just looking at the characters
Interesting going to the 5th region (fontaine) right after the first (mondsat), but I think her sponser required her to talk about it as that region just got released and this video is just promotion for it. And estimating how long it took her to play the first region + fontaine about adds up time wise.
2nd region was the most boring to me (Liyue) story wise although it was very pretty. The 4th region (Sumeru) has the most lore imo and had the most interesting story at the time split between it's desert and forest.
Same, the Liyue Archon is the least compelling and I agree even though it is least of them it is still great nonetheless 😅😅😅
Please I’m begging don’t watch Matpats Genshin theory’s they are soo bad and don’t even go into the actual lore. They are and feel more like forced ads then anything.
Would Recommend Ashikai
They are In my opinion the best Genshin theory and story recap channel and make it fun to watch
Ashikai is best girl
Ashikai is amazing for her theories and her analysis of real life influences. Another great channel for more recap and analysis style content is catwithbluehat.
You definitely need to check out the lore more Nux. It would blow you away
If you wanna see some genshin theories, I recommend Ashikai, but get ready for some insane rabbit holes
Maybe Chill with Aster much more digestable information for starters 😅😅😅
Genshin actually saved me from depression. No joke.
Since you mentioned lore, lets do a quick comparison -
Monstad lore - "the dragon was bad, and then it was good"
Sumeru lore- liloupar the genie hates her own children so much (because they are the product of her husbad who she hates most in the world) she makes her children marry each other, and when the brother grapes the sister because he wanted more genie children to enslave, the genie became very happy (yippee) because she just hates them that much. She also destroyes the economy and stability of gurabad leading the poor slaves to resort to canibalism to survive while thw rich nobles Hoarded all the food.
So yeah its definitely a freindly kids game 🥰
I didn't get that deep into reading about the djinni quest, but damn, that sounds like a stright up greek mythology without censorship
You forgot about Decabrian, the former ruler of Mondstadt, having dominion over Anemo alongside Andrius, the Lawrence Klan, Albedo, the Hexenzirkel, etc.
There's also the Inazuma lore where children gets chosen to lead but they're actually just puppets that's easy to manipulate and when they get older and get more knowledge of things they kill them off before choosing another child. Another Inazuma lore is where there's this child who befriended a giant electro bird and everyone in his island is afraid of that large electro bird so when they saw that the bird is close with the child they assumed that the bird wants the child as sacrifice so the villagers took the child cut him up took his blood and shit and other ritual things and upon learning this birdy got mad and killed everyone.
@@bzzztbzzzt2428 isn't the first one Enkanayomia? ( Or something like that).
@@DummyDrawsStuff yeah I just lumped it in since it's probably part of Inazuma since the Inazuma treasure compass works there
2:52 well, we all know how scary geometry is :v just wait until they break out the trig
💀💀💀
Nuxtaku emits a special odor called obnoxygen which keeps haters outside a 5 kilometer radius
Can't wait until Jaiden gets to fight against the jacked up poor people!!
The game is GOOD period. No there is no pedophilia, but there is a lot of hate and that hate comically comes from outside the fandom
Thank you! It's not unbearable, but it definitely gets annoying hearing the pedo thing all the time if your a fan.
I admit I used to be guilty of making the pedo joke as a fan myself since I've seen a lot of very degenerate people in the community before. But the jokes got so stale whenever morons started taking it seriously and convincing others that the game actually sexualizes children
And then there's the racism from the Sonic fandom and certain people who are not part of that fandom and all that supporting it
I think nux would enjoy the story quests of genshin impact
Regarding the lore, Stupendium made a lore song several months ago that is very good for the basic world structure although as they mention; “The Genshin dimension is pretty intense/ Filled with events too dense to mention.” While the topics explained in that song will become the focus at some point in the future or have been focus upon in readable materials [which there are hours worth of], the current regional stories are barely touched upon. It’s called a “Summary in Sumeru” and is worth checking out for the lore and the song just has a good beat and catchy rhyming schemes.
(If not, you could at least pull up some of the staple Lore Theorist channels such as Ashikai, even if you don’t click anything look at the video titles and runtime, even the confirmed content reviews are over 20-30 minutes on average, saying nothing of the actual theories. I’d say this game has lore.)
Ngl i cried at the end of furinas quest, it was tedious as always and took like 2 hours of bland dialogue to get to the end but it was kinda almost worth it, 1 of the best quests in the game, since 4.0 the plot got much heavier and darker and it is really good now about maybe 30% is not unrelated yapping when in 1.0 it was 95%
7:12 Oh my gohosh Nux. Linux Mint is surprisingly easy to get used to. I don't know about other distros cause I've only used Mint Cinnamon for most a year now but from everything I've experienced, complex PPA installations like installing JAVA 17 LTS for Minecraft is the singular worst thing I ever had to do. Everything else are just AppImages and extract-able Tar files with folders containing the EXE equivalent of a double click icon. I have nothing to say about Wine/Proton cause I lack Vulkan entirely.
Yeah the story is actually rlly good, its just quite a time sink to play "properly", so i havent played it in ages
Genshin lore is fucking crazy and depressing.
"Is genshin impact actually this lore heavy?"
As a genshin player for over a year now: YES
the region you ask this question is during the Mondstat region, which currently has the LEAST lore (there will be more in upcoming years, but for now the least)
One of the main rules of Genshin lore - 90% children shall suffer. Suffering may include but not limited to:
Becoming orphaned (the most constant one);
Having a meeting with a "friendly" doctor who will inject God Juice into you and experiment on you;
Becoming a false puppet-ruler of a nation until you reach teenagehood, at which point you will be burned alive at an artificial sun;
Becoming a sacrifice for a bird (that is your friend) by your own tribesman, that includes being skinned alive and drained of blood;
Becoming a child slave;
After becoming orphaned, having to become a child-assassin for Russia (Snezhnaya)... You get point and i don't remember all of the other examples
Btw, the suffering is not limited to NPC but also playable characters 😅😅😅
watched trice already, your opinions are so true nux
nux you didn’t just not come last in genshin trivia, you started out beating everyone in an incredible upset lmao
😅😅😅
Every nation we get more questions than answers and it eventually gets more lore heavy 😭
How is waifu derogatory when it refers to fake women specifically
I believe because it implies that women are specifically for romantic/sexual interest only even in a fictional capacity, essentially it objectifies women. Which is disrespectful, but it is a bit of a stretch as people of both sides kind of do it by default, depends heavily on the people, some find such words like waifu, husbando, loli, furry etc. offensive, others don't, depends on the common consensus.
@@Ali-cya yea, it is pretty much just a matter of what part of clique you are in as everyone have different standard. Just like how religious people would take something like blasphemy more seriously while non religious don't really give a f
@@Ali-cya By that logic husbandos are derogatory too lel
Yeah, think I will try to ignore those peeps (unless they start doing that Reddit r/animeme thing)
@@far4955 Correct, but it's less popular to see it as such since men historically haven't been objectified for their appearance, rather for their use and still are, though it seems men don't find it an issue enough so there is less outrage over it.
@@Ali-cya That's a vocal minority. I've personally never seen anyone IRL who are sensitive to terms such as waifu, husbando, loli etc. at the end of the day it's all fiction made for entertainment purposes. If they don't like it they shouldn't watch it easy
Nux: I thought this was waifu Pokemon
Me: you mean Monster Super League?
It is lore heavy. And basically everywhere you go, everyone you meet and everything is connected to this story and that story and maybe a hint to that story. I've lost track of everything now.
Someone please get Nux to play Genshin mf wouldn't be able to stop playing it once he starts playing it specially cuz of the mountains full of lore that this game has and I am playing from the start
@@I.disagree I mean he could do that too but that would just make him like other Genshin YTubers
I doubt he will if he already label it as p3d0 game which I only heard from him.

@@tristanmanalo6252 apparently I watched some random video not-related to Genshin including reviews of other games then out of nowhere child-predator meme joke then Genshin image. Now it looks like it is the same level as Roblox.
Yeah, I also had no idea Genshin Impact actually had a story. xD
“And Larry!”
13:00 believe me, it works. Fontaines story quest was amazing
imagine playing the tutorial + 1 quest... and be already overwhelmed with lore xD
and yes there is lore LUL
on top of the about 200 hours of quests, there is lore in literally everything you touch. from equipment to random texts and books to small side caracters.
Genshin has insanely massive lore and amazing story. Jaiden only scratched the surface
And the murder mystery was amazing, literally the whole fandom was in awe of that quest, so maybe don't talk about things you have zero idea about.
who tf said the quests are only 7 hrs long???
More like 7 weeks if you play it non stop 😅😅😅
That is if it can be played non-stop which is btw impossible because thhe game is time gated by real life daily/weekly/monthly resets 💀💀💀
I think he said ONE quest was 7 hours long. Like, the quests are 7 hours long each.
Genshin Impact lore is weird and convoluted but it's pretty nice. My favorite story stuff was in Liyue ( second region) and my second favorite section is in Sumeru ( I loved the archon quest but some of the side stories are very meh.)
If you ever do end up playing, I do recommend not rushing through the game like I did. Take it at your own pace and build a good team. If you go for the character banners, save up for 10 draws as you have a better chance of a 5 star. uhhh Explore like crazy.
A friend of mine started playing 3-4 months ago. I played since 1.2 and its almost the end of 4.2 now. And well, she found a video thats 25h long of events and lore she missed like the golden apple archipelago
the genshin murder mystery quest was actually done really well i was invested throughout the whole thing and there was many plot twists, overall the entire fontaine quest was well written and peak storytelling, genshin's story used to be mid at the start but it got really good later on. Now i mostly play for exploration and story content
3:05 That's called "fighting angry geometry" nowadays. XD
6:11 'twas Lisa, but true.
8:08 Why do you think people asking for a Skip button out of all things? For some there's too much lore.
genshin actually has surprisingly much lore.
I started to play it just a little more than a month ago after years of disregarding it as a stupid gacha game. I was pleasantly surprised.
I’m glad you were able to come to enjoy it in such a short period of time 😊
Oh walked blind with a black map to fontain from mondstadt to do an event quest (I mean what do I know I just went there)......... Paimon kept trying to stop me from walking through some areas, but somehow I managed to brute force myself through some dessert ( I got stuck there for a while). Haven't even done Liyue yet.
Gambling’s just a part of who we are
Look, if you can put waifus in jail, and keep them there like ice king then im sold.
“Threw me down” who are you lil bro
I never search rule 34 about Genshin Impact, because I am to afraid to see how much of it I will find ☠️

Bruhh real quick 😅😅😅
I have no basis on which to say this, but I blame Alpharad for jaidens gamering.
This is like the first 15 minutes of the game lol. It absolutely IS waifu pokemon, but it is also a huge game too. Legit massive and changes regularly, tons of side quest and secrets.
Think of it as Breath of the Wild-aifus

Genshin Impact is made by Otakus, their company motto used to be “Tech Otakus Save The World”
The main quests surround the regions and their god, and every one of them is better than the last. Starting Genshin can feel disappointing since the first quest is mostly a tutorial, but I highly recommend exploring beyond that and experiencing the rest of the game (Fontaine, Sumeru and Inazuma are all gorgeous and filled with lore and adventure). Nothing against the first two regions, but I see people get bored when they first try it because they don't look beyond the tutorial part. Either way, I highly recommend watching some version trailers or character teasers to get an idea of everything the game has to offer! I love seeing your reactions and the trailers might show you the beauty of this game beyond the anime waifus and husbandos.
Honestly if you just go from quest to quest without wasting to much time you can get through the prologue in 3-4 hours. Honestly you can go pretty much anywhere on the map (other than Inazuma) right from AR10.
@8:00 Yeah no this is accurate, this is exactly what happens.
If you do actually do end up watching Genshin lore videos, I recommend Ashikai's.
There's a lot of story, and it takes some time to ramp up and find its rhythm. But then, so did their other games. Hopefully _HSR_ is a bit faster, but in the meantime, we're halfway through _Genshin_ 's Teyvat Chapter now. That's four full regions plus Dragonspine, Enkanomiya, and the Chasm. The map is massive, and there's lore even in the items. Yet players still get angry at Mihoyo when they speedrun the story and run out of stuff to do days after a fresh update.
_Genshin_ 's strength is definitely its exploration. The combat is super-casual and easy, and you can clear with any team, or no team at all, just Traveler if you're insane like Moosashi.
_GunGirlZ_ is a sidescrolling actioner that goes crazy with Mihoyo's cosmology. It's the game that introduces the Imaginary Tree and the bubble worlds, I think, as well as explaining where that all came from (it's... it grew from Zeus's corpse. The game has characters so powerful you hope they stay asleep and don't roll over weird so they don't destroy half the Tree and the worlds growing on it).
_Honkai Impact 3rd_ is Mihoyo's first 3D game, an actioner like _GGZ_ that goes crazy with the story, and explores bubble worlds more. If you like your combat like in _Bayonetta_ and _DMC_ , and you like your story like _Evangelion_ , you'll like this one. It is more optimistic than _GGZ_ , though, both still get regular updates. The combat's pretty wild and flashy, so if you can't deal with flashing lights, probably best to avoid this one. Sorry, Mel.
_Tears of Themis_ is a visual novel-styled police procedural with lots of hot guys. Someone who's played it can tell you more about it.
_Honkai: Star Rail_ is the hot new turn-based adventure game with a train that goes through space.
And of course, _Zenless Zone Zero_ is the stylish rogelike adventure came currently in its second CBT phase, and it'll likely be released within a year if things go as well as they did with _HSR_ .
Mihoyo slow down? Un-&^%$ing-likely. Not until they're dominating every genre gaming has to offer. I wonder what their asymmetrical survival game'll look like. Anime-style, no doubt. Everything else is.
12:55 can't believe how bad this ages xD
I’ll give a brief synopsis of the last two regions so people can realize how dry Jaiden made Fontaine look.
Sumeru is the land of wisdom. The land lost its god in the cataclysm that happened 500 years ago. When the regions gods die, a new one is born/ascends to take its place. Sumeru refuses to acknowledge the new god, and is actively trying to destroy anything that doesn’t have academic pursuits while they claim that worshipping the new god is a desecration to the old god.
Fontaine is the land of justice, but the land has been condemned by the highest deity in existence, due to the actions of the previous god of Fontaine. The condemning is what is told by Lynette in the video, minus the god weeping “forever”. The current god should be trying to stop the disaster, but it doesn’t appear that she is…
Please try Genshin lore Nux
IF nux ever gets in genshin impact i will never miss those streams on twitch XD i would skip work just to watch nux on twitch streaming genshin XD
Been friends with dealers long enough to know "First one's (Amber) free."
Well as far as story goes, Genshin has more of it than Bethesda's last three games combined. Some of the earlier quest have some writing that suffers from pacing issues but is over all fairly good. As for in game background lore, there is an insane amount. Much like Dark Souls there are whole YT channels dedicated to lore and lore theories.
While the moment to moment writing can sometimes suffer from trying to make it digestible to a broad audience (dumbed down) it has been improving in consistency since the tail end of Inazuma (almost two years ago).
As for the gambling, it is 100% optional. The game gives you a fair amount of free characters (all of whom are at least decent with a few that are very good). You also get a solid amount of the gambling currency from playing. The game doesn't have a lot of challenging content and what challenging content it does have is not tied to the story. Even that can be cleared without spending a dime though.
Basically Genshin isn't pay to win. It is however pay to simp.
well you can easily play genshin without spending any money.
the game is very F2P friendly.
Game is easy for people who play games regularly , has a strategic mind to understand the states of characters properly you can play genshin .

The game is pretty, but I've never been caught deeply when I've played it. Every time I try, I get maybe 10-30 minutes in, before never touching it again for at least 6 months to over a year. XD The only reason I tried to pick it up again was for the Venti event, and my friend who *was* very into it wanted me to unlock online mode... Which I still haven't succeeded in doing, and it's already been over a year since my last attempt.
At least I won a Venti, though. XD
The game itself has more than just waifus. I started the game the first week it came out because I was still freshed out of BotW and I wanted more 'open world exploration' games and it just so happened that Genshin just came out. The world exploration is great and the waifu/husbando collecting came after. I couldn't stop playing for several hours that I couldn't even stop thinking about it when I was at work. I just wanted to get home and play more. If I was to get isekai'd, Genshin is on my list of worlds I wanted to end up in. (Others being Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, and Harry Potter)
I watched someone streaming it on launch day and quickly noticed how interesting the combat looked and downloaded it right then. Three years later and I still think it has one of the best combat systems of any video game. That said I do think they could do so much more with it but they insist on making everything either 'baby's first action rpg' or a timed dps check. The 'Local Legends' they added in Fontaine was a great addition though. I hope we get more of that sort of thing.
Stormterror is one of the dumbest names for a villain I'm sorry
At least it's a fake villain name.
That’s just the bullshit nickname the city gave it, it’s real name is Dvalin.
@@ridiculiciousit's what the common folk named him
His true name is Dvalin and he is one of the City's protector 😅😅
