Easily the best "genshin demos" reaction. DEFINETELY, you paid attention, noticed many important/cool details, funny commentaries abt everything, just perfect
You are the first person in ages checking those demos I loooved watching. Seriously, unexpected anime references, dropping exotic weapon names, noticing pattern with Fontaine mechanics (those dropping swords), naming Emilie steampunk genderswapped Kaveh (that was a running joke when she came out since Kaveh was missing from the banners for ages). Truly you are a man of culture, General😁
gameplay answers that aren't spoilers! - characters have very niche kits so a lot of OG characters can still hold their own in the face of new characters (not to mention some of the best support characters come from early game) and artifacts/weapons are constantly being released that help update older characters to do more damage. there are a few hypercarrys/solos in game (think acheron level) but the novelty of them wore off pretty quickly for me. team building just feels more fun but those characters are useful for quick clearing when I need them - team comp is a thing but not necessary as far as story and overworld fights go! mix and matching elements and positions (dps, buffers, healers, etc) is the fun way to play since it creates all the reactions and some characters were made with certain reactions in mind (although you can use certain artifact sets to force a few of them to specialize in other things) but mono teams also exist. geo, in particular, has a good mono. uhh meta teams and rotations are really only necessary for endgame content also considering how many hsr characters we share a liking of, i was not surprised to see you interested in all my favorite genshin ones and some of the commentary you made is very funny knowing their lore if you end up playing later, neat! if not, that's okay too. i just hope the decision is made of your own volition. there's an unfortunately large part of the hsr fanbase that very loudly hates this game and since you attracted that fanbase first, im sure they'll have a lot to say about this.
50:31 in Genshin, a lot of characters have specific roles in their niche. So it’s actually quite rare for a character to be power crept, which is something I really appreciate about this game. Edit: Example: some of the best, most regularly used characters are characters released at launch. To me, this would be unthinkable in some other games where if you don’t keep up with getting new units, you’re screwed. And since Genshin is not a competitive game, there is no reason to keep up with meta UNLESS you WANT to.
@@thewingedone1172arlechino, probably. zhongli? im not so sure about that.. but I don’t keep up with stuff like that so who knows, maybe someone is crazy good
I love genshin for that, don’t have to worry about the meta _too_ much unlike some other games I play (cough cough COOKIE RUN KINGDOM.) one update a character is the most broken character in the game and the next they are completely unusable because a character released directly after them is even better somehow. And then there’s genshin where I can clear pretty much anything with a dps charlotte or something and characters from the start of the game are still amazing after 4 years or so
@@thewingedone1172 I somehow sincerely doubt that tbh. People say ‘X will powercreep Y’ all the time, but it usually ends up being ‘they’re both good in their niche, use whoever is better for this specific situation’. The only times I can truly think of powercreep happening is for some dps characters
oh dude, Genshin...... it's gonna take so long for you to get to the current time if you ever do try it, but the story is SO FREAKING GOODDDDDD, i love it a lot......
I know once you enter into Genshin it may affect your channel (for good, for bad, some people will resent or accept). As a player of Genshin & HSR, I wish you good luck General. I will support! 👍
Finally done with video... some answers: Elements on teams: Mono to multiple elements teams are viable, we have "elemental resonance" and even an 8th option. Type classifications: DPS, sub dps, tank, support, healer in on-field and offfield positions and most characters can be "drivers"... Also many characters have more than one build or way to play different from HSR/ZZZ (an example Baizhu while healer, is used a dps driver too) Weapons: 5 weapons types wth catalyst being the home of the brawlers usually. Gameplay movement: light version of MHW mechanics with the heavy mobility/movement of GW2, (crystallization is literally elemental shielding from GW2). AGE: short or tall... don't think they are children or teens, example Cyno, Tighnari, Alhaitham and Kaveh are near 30 (Tighnari race age as same speed a normal humans), they graduated around the same time with Kaveh being oldest... While Dori actually may have dwarfism (suspected to be 40 years old at her youngest and she is also human)... So yeah it gets crazy nad this is normal age characters.
LEGION I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OUR GENERAL WAS COOKING (also don't spoil don't answer DV's question unless he specifically asks, do not correct him on things that you know are wrong but he doesn't, don't post a "fun fact" comment about characters or lore, and stop posting giant paragraphs of HSR lore let him figure it out.)
Alot of genshin players do like to make fun of genshin for fun but theres also alot of haters who like to doompost it so some are probably jokes and others serious

BEST GENSHIN CHARACTERS DEMO REACTIONNNN !!!!!! - genuinely paying attention to the characters and the whole contents - interesting comments - the vibes is super fun
i was waiting for this one day! i think you'll actually like genshin quite a lot, ignore the doomposters it comes with the territory lol! hope you can try when you have time
I had so much to say while watching this, but I'm not gonna bother anymore. Just wanted to say that I was excitedly waiting to watch it at home right from when I noticed it on my feed before work. Loved it. Thank you. 2:02:32 what the dog doin'?
Faruzan is one of my faves and he immediately hated her too lmaoo [she's not like herta smh, she's a big softie, she's just also a dramatic grandma displaced in time, leave her alone lol 😭]
Do note that GI was released before HSR, so "HSR character" coded is more like they are "GI character" coded. I've been playing all HYV games (except HI3) since their respective launches and whenever a character that is similar to GI is released, people say, "its like X character."
If you ever do give the game a try, record it and I'm sure a lot of us will watch it. This game is VERY story driven. But, while you cannot skip cutscenes in-game, you also cannot go back and rewatch them. Its a once and done kinda deal. So I think A LOT of us late gamers who miss the nostalgia of discovering the game for the first time love to watch people play the game who have never experienced it before. But no worries if you aren't interested either. Games are supposed to be fun after all, and it's okay if it's not your cup of tea. Glad you're enjoying the demos though ❤
I gotta say man, those reactions were fire and it seemed like you were really paying attention when spotting characters from other demo's, great job dude
Heizou was revolutionary because before him, there was no male catalyst user. Now we have Wanderer, Baizhu, Neuvillette and Wriothesley. He was also the first catalyst user to do hand to hand combat as his moveset, Wriothesley became the second. Catalysts and other weapons can come in many forms even if it's a certain weapon type, and usually they have lore on why they're like that. Catalysts can be magic books, a swirling ring, or they could be a bell, a magic lamp, or a fan. What makes them catalyst is the fact that characters never hold them, they float alongside. Swords can be rapiers, katana, an umbrella yokai, a metal pipe, a repurposed flute, etc. Claymores (big swords) can be a battle axe or a cardboard toy, while polearms can even be scythes or tridents. Bows can be harps, a commodified fish, or a repurposed magic wand. And yes, everything I listed _is_ a weapon in the game. Even if a character uses a weapon type, their animations might show them fight with something else (Lyney uses a bow but his normal attack animations show he starts throwing cards, Navia uses a claymore but her skill is her Gunbrella and her normal attacks have her hit with her umbrella, etc)
I haven’t finished the video but if you do plan on playing genshin just know that to figure out what a character does (like dps/support/healer/etc) you have to do the unthinkable… YOU HAVE TO READ 😱
2:22:14 it's a system called pneumousia exclusive to characters from fontaine, basically some attacks of the characters use it and that sword is an indicator, and most mechs from fontaine also have pneumousia protection, so if a character's pneumousia sword is white (pneuma) then it'll disable a mech with a black mechanical part (ousia) and vice versa, furina however is the only character in the game who has both pneuma and ousia powers, after using a charged attack she starts healing instead of using those 3 little creatures, her hair becomes longer, her outfit becomes white instead of black and her attacks are now pneuma aligned instead of ousia
Damn Donny, I see now what you were talking about with the massive video haha. This must've been a pain to render. Still I'm grateful for more DV content Much love
1:02:18 Gūji is a Japanese term for the chief priest of a Shinto shrine. Also her name Yae Miko mean "Priestess Yae." Its very likey that she only took on the name Yae (doubled" or "multi-layered," often in reference to flowers) after choosing to live with the humans. It can be writen as "巫女" "shaman + woman (same as priestess). They seem to use a different way of writting it Genshin uses the very old way "神 + 子" meaning "kami" + "child. In fact there is a 3rd way as well "巫 + 子" "shaman + child" 1:13:49 He is catalys (spell) but they finally found a way to do more with that.
You being a Cyyu watcher is awesome, the guys around the the table with him are the gang he calls Crewmeru and the game in front of them is the ingame tcg. He's one of my favorites
Oh, tip from one dm to another: there are people who isolate the music in the trailers and make looped versions. It's perfect for bg music during games. I always use Cyno's for desert battles!
its 2024 and the zhongli and raiden demos still give me chills!! i like how u noticed a similarity in wanderers demo and raidens. i stopped playing genshin around the time fontaine started so a lot of these videos were new for me too. always love watching your reactions!
LMAO i can't believe you did it, but at least you didn't use THE title hahaha. I'm so ready for DV to hate all my fave characters!!! ETA: *referring to Shenhe* "I've seen this character" ....really, you have? Where is she? Can you tell me where she is? haha...hahaha... [I've been waiting for her rerun for over a year I am dying inside please send help]. also the crane is her MOTHER, show some respect for the opacity symbolism that I didn't even notice until you pointed it out smh
I think it's insane how the quality just SHOOTS up in recent trailers compared to the old ones, i would have NEVER imagined u dropping a genshin video let alone the character trailer reactions, STILL, if youd like to just get some content out u can js react to some of the character teasers or maybe some version trailers, awesome vid btw.
For your comment on Kokomi's trailer about how the old units probably won't be good, I just wanted to drop by and say they actually still are! Kazuha and zhongli are two characters who are used to this day, they rank really high in meta. There isn't any real powercreep in genshin other than the meme ones (like exploration skills and mining)
2:15:54 it actually depends, geo is an element that doesn't care about other elements so most geo teams are mono geo, except for navia who wants other elements but it doesn't matter which ones, as long as it's someone else but other elements are very reliant on elemental reactions, chevreuse wants electro characters to trigger overload which buffs the team, nilou wants to be played with dendro characters to trigger bloom because it spawns cores which explode and deal a lot of damage, alhaitham wants to be played with electro because he then can trigger spread and it increases his damage by a lot, moreover you can add hydro to trigger bloom which turns into hyperbloom with the aforementioned electro unit so the dendro cores deal more damage, and so on, there are multiple layers of how elements work with each other so you certainly should use characters of different elements together, it's like eating fruits with cheese, both are good on their own but enhance each other when paired
My eyes were in shock literally wow didn’t expect this at all. Especially allllllll the character trailers damn general (it’s even funnier seeing this since Genshin Impact is on Xbox now, I’ve been playing it)
Zhongli and Neuvillette are both having reruns soon :) also, my favorite character is Gaming! He’s really fun to play and despite being a four-star, can compete with five star dps characters
Thank goodness there are no spoiler spoilers in Genshin demos like the star rail ones, otherwise… yeesh, it would be unfortunate. Anyway, 3 HoYo games down, 1 more to go!(for their more popular gacha games) If you do end up playing Genshin, general, make sure to do so at your own pace. Genshin is a lengthy game and is best experienced whenever one feels like it
If Kaeya is discount Argenti. Doesn't that mean Argenti is a luxury Kaeya? Wait, what the opposite of discount again in English? It's not my language 🤔
I don’t get the genshin haters among hsr fans… it’s weird to me since I love both games! Always enjoy your reactions and I’m sure I’d enjoy watching you play genshin ALMOST as much as I enjoy your hsr vids.
6:56 Chinese zombies are different from American ones 7:01 Asta & Hook’s Va 28:23 Djdkdjdn the way you got this!!! 30:24 Her va voice’s sparkle - 31:18 he found out xd 34:11 Jiaoqiu’s va 35:06 Archeron’s va 41:18 Xueyi’s va 48:41 Lynx’s Va 59:06 Claymore, Spear, Catalyst and Sword 1:19:04 Sushang’s Va 1:24:05 Arlan’s Va 1:34:03 ZZZ Jane doe’s Va 1:36:32 ZZZ Seth’s Va 1:38:46 Yanqing’s Va 1:43:01 Moze’s va 1:45:03 his snake voices Pela 1:49:07 Blades Va 1:51:01 Feixiao’s Va 2:06:20 Yunli’s Va 2:10:00 Male Mc hsr 2:39:16 he can fly
its because of the way genshin writes names! example: hu tao's name is tao and her last name is hu. same with yun jin, last name yun first name jin. by writing it ga ming, it would imply that his last name is ga and his first name in ming which isn't the case
Genshin characters doesn't face such a strong powercreep as other games, older characters are still pretty much used a lot, some starter 4 stars are still a must have! Genshin at least waits a few years before powercreeping a character
genshin demos are THE blueprint of hoyo marketing edit: mr. donnyvick is rlly good at picking up clues and characters, sometimes it's scary. also yaoyao, the little green girl has the same v as jane doe lol
DONNY VICK KNOWS CODE GEASS????WHAAAAAAT?!?! I almost had an aneurysm when I heard the start of the music play 😂 (It's only one of my favorite Anime and severely underrated... it literally feels like no one knows it 😅)
@haroldtheylez At least not where I live apparently... I literally studied Japanese Studies for a year which was also kinda a gathering place for Anime fans... no one had heard of it at all 🥲
I remember fans going crazy over Alhaitham's demo xD And overall over Wriothesley's.... design ;) Ngl Alhaitham and Zhongli's demos are my favourite, design and music are absolutely amazing. Klee is adorable! I have her on my account and I don't regret pulling for her. It's fun to create chaos with her ;)
Technically, all the guys whose fighting styles involve throwing hands use the spellcaster weapons, it's just that they're spellcasters of the "I cast fist!" variety.
@donnyvick A bit of Russian context. "Tsaritsa" is a female ruler or a wife of "tsar" in olden Russia and some Eastern European countries. Basically, queen. "Snezhnaya" is a transliteration of a Russian word meaning "snowy". I am assuming that it's a place ruled by Tsaritsa.

2:22:14 it's a system called pneumousia exclusive to characters from fontaine, basically some attacks of the characters use it and that sword is an indicator, and most mechs from fontaine also have pneumousia protection, so if a character's pneumousia sword is white (pneuma) then it'll disable a mech with a black mechanical part (ousia) and vice versa, furina however is the only character in the game who has both pneuma and ousia powers, after using a charged attack she starts healing instead of using those 3 little creatures, her hair becomes longer, her outfit becomes white instead of black and her attacks are now pneuma aligned instead of ousia

DONNYYYYYY I COME BACK TO THIS??
My former genshin self is coming out ITTOOOOO YELAAAAN MY BELOVEDS
Whoa now! the no simping rule is still in effect
@DonnyVick I would never simp for a man… and Yelan is Yelan general you have to understand
Damn Donny, I see now what you were talking about with the massive video haha.
This must've been a pain to render. Still I'm grateful for more DV content
Much love
1:43:38 kaveh gyatt acknowledged
It wasn't a matter of if, only when he would step into this one
Donny getting creeped out by the most wholesome character in the game is interesting
1:02:18 Gūji is a Japanese term for the chief priest of a Shinto shrine. Also her name Yae Miko mean "Priestess Yae." Its very likey that she only took on the name Yae (doubled" or "multi-layered," often in reference to flowers) after choosing to live with the humans. It can be writen as "巫女" "shaman + woman (same as priestess). They seem to use a different way of writting it Genshin uses the very old way "神 + 子" meaning "kami" + "child. In fact there is a 3rd way as well "巫 + 子" "shaman + child"
1:13:49 He is catalys (spell) but they finally found a way to do more with that.
You being a Cyyu watcher is awesome, the guys around the the table with him are the gang he calls Crewmeru and the game in front of them is the ingame tcg. He's one of my favorites
Dude has pretty good memory, one of the only reactors I've seen who can recognize Raiden inspiration from Wanderer's. ☕️
Love him clocking the Alhaitham and Ratio similarities 🙏
Ah yes, Genshin Impact, my favorite musical game
Well, this explains the sudden disappearance of our general
Oh, tip from one dm to another: there are people who isolate the music in the trailers and make looped versions. It's perfect for bg music during games. I always use Cyno's for desert battles!
Almost 3 hours reaction to genshin!?!?! Ain't no way am I still dreaming!?!?!
The original destroyer of my bank account.
It was nice to re-watch some of these, thanks general!
I really like your vibe and would love to see you play the game if you ever get the time for it!
1:31:46 finally a reactor noticed that lil' detail to both trailers. 👍
THIS IS SO OUTOF NOWHERE OMGGGG IM HERE FOR ITT
its 2024 and the zhongli and raiden demos still give me chills!! i like how u noticed a similarity in wanderers demo and raidens. i stopped playing genshin around the time fontaine started so a lot of these videos were new for me too. always love watching your reactions!
LMAO i can't believe you did it, but at least you didn't use THE title hahaha. I'm so ready for DV to hate all my fave characters!!! ETA: *referring to Shenhe* "I've seen this character" ....really, you have? Where is she? Can you tell me where she is? haha...hahaha... [I've been waiting for her rerun for over a year I am dying inside please send help]. also the crane is her MOTHER, show some respect for the opacity symbolism that I didn't even notice until you pointed it out smh
We're mintpicking with this one 🗣🗣🗣
Is that the green slime guy reference?(I forgot his name)
THE MUSIC IN THIS GAME IS SO GORGEOUS ❤❤❤❤❤❤
5:53 jiāngshī, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire. The characters for 'jiāngshī" are read goeng-si in Cantonese.
40:01 Sayu's VA is Lilypichu btw
I think it's insane how the quality just SHOOTS up in recent trailers compared to the old ones, i would have NEVER imagined u dropping a genshin video let alone the character trailer reactions, STILL, if youd like to just get some content out u can js react to some of the character teasers or maybe some version trailers, awesome vid btw.
For your comment on Kokomi's trailer about how the old units probably won't be good, I just wanted to drop by and say they actually still are!
Kazuha and zhongli are two characters who are used to this day, they rank really high in meta.
There isn't any real powercreep in genshin other than the meme ones (like exploration skills and mining)
2:15:54 it actually depends, geo is an element that doesn't care about other elements so most geo teams are mono geo, except for navia who wants other elements but it doesn't matter which ones, as long as it's someone else
but other elements are very reliant on elemental reactions, chevreuse wants electro characters to trigger overload which buffs the team, nilou wants to be played with dendro characters to trigger bloom because it spawns cores which explode and deal a lot of damage, alhaitham wants to be played with electro because he then can trigger spread and it increases his damage by a lot, moreover you can add hydro to trigger bloom which turns into hyperbloom with the aforementioned electro unit so the dendro cores deal more damage, and so on, there are multiple layers of how elements work with each other so you certainly should use characters of different elements together, it's like eating fruits with cheese, both are good on their own but enhance each other when paired
You're so funny 2 hours passed so fast i didn't even noticed 😭
Genshin? On DaddyVick's channel? Ohoho, I guess it's only a matter of time until we get some Honkai Impact action going on here
Oh my god it’s so nice to rewatch the whole trailers again. Hope you enjoy Genshin if you ever play. Enjoy!
My eyes were in shock literally wow didn’t expect this at all. Especially allllllll the character trailers damn general (it’s even funnier seeing this since Genshin Impact is on Xbox now, I’ve been playing it)
Zhongli and Neuvillette are both having reruns soon :) also, my favorite character is Gaming! He’s really fun to play and despite being a four-star, can compete with five star dps characters
I ASKED FOR THIS THANK U DADDYVICK !!!
Thank goodness there are no spoiler spoilers in Genshin demos like the star rail ones, otherwise… yeesh, it would be unfortunate. Anyway, 3 HoYo games down, 1 more to go!(for their more popular gacha games) If you do end up playing Genshin, general, make sure to do so at your own pace. Genshin is a lengthy game and is best experienced whenever one feels like it
general finally checking out hoyo game where we can jump yippee
Not him calling Kaeya Discount Argenti. Bro.
Not Him Calling Wriothesly Sampo. How on earth.
Holy Shit: Escaflowne Mention.
If Kaeya is discount Argenti. Doesn't that mean Argenti is a luxury Kaeya? Wait, what the opposite of discount again in English? It's not my language 🤔
@@yuicaniago Close enough. Deluxe would be a good word, too~
Lmao that 27:53 sparkle spooked me
Oh god we are losing him 😢 he'll be missed ❤
I don’t get the genshin haters among hsr fans… it’s weird to me since I love both games! Always enjoy your reactions and I’m sure I’d enjoy watching you play genshin ALMOST as much as I enjoy your hsr vids.
That was fun! Pls more reactions from genshin. Teasers and animated shorts
6:56 Chinese zombies are different from American ones

2:39:16 he can fly
2:10:09 💀 To be fair it should be writen as Ga Ming no idea why a space was so hard to put there
its because of the way genshin writes names! example: hu tao's name is tao and her last name is hu. same with yun jin, last name yun first name jin. by writing it ga ming, it would imply that his last name is ga and his first name in ming which isn't the case
@thatweirdodaniel I know still feels dumb
If they did, it would be wrong.
@@ManiacalBlueberry Dosen't change the fact that it still feels dumb🤷🏻♂️
Genshin characters doesn't face such a strong powercreep as other games, older characters are still pretty much used a lot, some starter 4 stars are still a must have! Genshin at least waits a few years before powercreeping a character
don't worry legion, it's just a phase
genshin demos are THE blueprint of hoyo marketing
edit: mr. donnyvick is rlly good at picking up clues and characters, sometimes it's scary. also yaoyao, the little green girl has the same v as jane doe lol
I can't wait for the genshin impact series !!!
My faves are Alhaitham and Kaveh! Generally love characters from the forest region (Sumeru). Great reaction vid 👍
DONNY VICK KNOWS CODE GEASS????WHAAAAAAT?!?!
I almost had an aneurysm when I heard the start of the music play 😂
(It's only one of my favorite Anime and severely underrated... it literally feels like no one knows it 😅)
really? I feel like that was a pretty popular anime alongside death note
@haroldtheylez At least not where I live apparently... I literally studied Japanese Studies for a year which was also kinda a gathering place for Anime fans... no one had heard of it at all 🥲
I honestly wasn't expecting an Escaflowne shout out.
@@yunamoonlight1015 maybe it's an age thing then lol
@@haroldtheylez Certainly possible. They don't know what they are missing out on xD
I'm going to foreshadow that this video will have LOTS of views in a couple of days. 🕵️
Not only he's Sasuke, but IIRC his dragon is Naruto.
OMG I DIDNT NOTICE
watching this while waiting for the livestream
Seeing this video made me black out, and when I woke up my screen was suspiciously painted white.
oh my god it’s happening
Let's goo Genshiin
I remember fans going crazy over Alhaitham's demo xD And overall over Wriothesley's.... design ;) Ngl Alhaitham and Zhongli's demos are my favourite, design and music are absolutely amazing.
Klee is adorable! I have her on my account and I don't regret pulling for her. It's fun to create chaos with her ;)
A lot of bow characters don't really focus on using their bow, I wouldn't stress about it till you try them/see their actual gameplay
Knowing The Vision of Escaflowne? you get my sub for now :D
AHHHHHH NO WAY HE'S NOW ALSO ON THE GENSHIN WAGON LET'S GOOOOOOOO WELCOME TO GENSHIN DONNY!!!!
Disney meets Black Desert is a perfect description
Technically, all the guys whose fighting styles involve throwing hands use the spellcaster weapons, it's just that they're spellcasters of the "I cast fist!" variety.
meanwhile kirara using her claws = sword lmao
@donnyvick A bit of Russian context. "Tsaritsa" is a female ruler or a wife of "tsar" in olden Russia and some Eastern European countries. Basically, queen. "Snezhnaya" is a transliteration of a Russian word meaning "snowy". I am assuming that it's a place ruled by Tsaritsa.
Welcome to the dark side
Oh how the great have fallen
I will go get the milk
And I will still eat everything up no matter what he ends up doing 🫡
Shut it hater
