So in reality, the prophecy is really true that Fontaine's people will be dissolve into waters but because of Focalor's sacrifice and Neuvillette's verdict, the people of Fontaine didn't dissolve.
@@Dazaiburgeridk , still needs more explanation. but it seems like neuvilette infuse the raindrops with his power , making the primodial water not dissolving people?
@@Z-000R0 Did you complete the new Archon Quest? If we follow what you've said... After you cut the left hand and put it in another place, do the right hand replace the left hand in every other works? The Foçalors (God) separate herself from Furina (Human) and deceived everyone, including Heavenly Principals. So, Furina never being Archon but she carried the burden of the Archon
The prophecy states that the hydro archon will be the one weeping on her throne in the end. Furina was the one in tears, which means fate and the world itself recognizes her as the hydro archon, just as Focalor planned. Not to mention, Furina is literally Focalor's body after being separated from mind and divinity, saying they are the same person is more accurate than saying Rukkhadevata and Nahida were the same person. You forget the previous few minutes just before that, we establish Fontainians are oceanids that turned into humans and that goes for Focalor/Furina too.
Just completed the quest...it was absolutely amazing. Folcalor's plan to deceive celestia, portrayal of Furina's suffering for 500 years, the music were all to the point!!!
The story was reallly good, but I feel so bad for furina..500 years of suffering…never knowing when she can quit the archon act. Never knowing when the prophecy will come to an end.
@@uwu-chanHer cry in the end makes it sadder. She was like paralyzed? I'm sure at that moment she thought everything she worked hard for failed. She didn't even know that Focalors was gonna save her at that moment
I love that this repetition of the prophecy says “Only Furina will remain weeping on her throne” when all the other previous repetition says “the Hydro Archon”. Since Focalors has died there are no more Hydro Archon to weep on the throne, only Furina, meaning it is impossible to fulfill the prophecy now. The change in the names was so clever.
Chad literally only appears when he's needed the most. Despite his lack of appearance and involvement in 4.2, we knew he would show up in the right time.
Man, the apex of the music along with Furina walking out in 2:45 just hits me in the feels so hard. It's like I've felt the same relief and freedom Furina felt after 500 years of stress and masquerades. Such an incredible archon quest.
Damn I can imagine Furina's feelings from the end of the trial. To her, all the suffering and hardships she endured for 500 years were all for naught, pretty devastating, as the people caught on to the masquerade she was trying to hide all this time. I'm happy that she was told that what she did helped save her nation
This part with the music at 1:52 was so magical... I started getting so emotional. Fontaine cutscenes this patch just never let up with their brilliant composition.
The fact that many cried during this archon quest yet Furina could never shed one drop of tear to make sure nobody knows about the act she was playing in order to save everyone for 500 years.
This was actually a really cool quest. Only criticism is I kinda wish there was a more permanent thing happening to the nation but aside from that it was very well done. Seeing Wrio’s ship come out of the water was definitely my favorite part.
Oh but there is something permanent happening to their nation, three actually. 1. The seat of Hydro Archon has ceased to exist. 2. The leadership of the nation is now restored to the Sovereign Dragon. 3. The sin is forgiven.
I wish the ship would've stayed over the sea and been an area we could see and explore, but it would be too big of a change and maybe even just too big to fit on the map without covering too much
@@mohammadaidilali9018 They mean something like Nahida and Rukkhadevata where after their quest all information and lore about her disappeared and now her name is only mentioned by the Traveler and the players
When I heard line "The prophecy was wrong!" and music after that, I felt... I don't know, how to say it, but it was happiness, jubilation and a sense of work done at the same moment. I love Fountain.
God, i like how Everyone here is working together against the Prophecy itself, Traveler, Arlecchino, Navia, Clorinde, Wrio, Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, Neuvilette and even Tartaglia and Skirk! Everybody get their moments and Respective cases to solve to Makes Fontaine a Better place again And glad that Furina didn't die even though Focalors Died tho.... RIP Focalors 😢😢🙏
@@megatbasyarullah4859 She already get it from Neuvi. In our last dialogue with Knave - she prepare to return in Sneznay in order to deliver Gnosis to Cryo Archon
This whole cutscene sequence hit me hard in like 3 different places. Fontaine is the nation of justice, but also in a way, the nation of tears. There’s so much relief in this cutscene
@@aitwyd tnbee makes remixes which is good but not what i'm looking for. the actual song from the cutscene is unextractable but should be released on next year's album though!
So let me try to get this clear... Theoretically, all Elemental Dragons were as strong or stronger than the Archons, but because of Heavenly Principle's restriction, they seems weaker. And after Focalors tricked the Heavenly Principle, she managed to return Neuvilette's original power, which allows him to control over all water element, not just how they shape, but also how the water ACTUALLY EXISTED AS Neuvilette changed the primordial water inside Fontainian into actual blood, making them true human, preventing from dissolving in the primordial water?
The elemental dragons (sovereigns) ruled before the archons but then the dragons were usurped by the Primordial One. Part of the sovereigns' power is used as the basis of the archons' authority. The hydro archon sacrificed herself and relinquished her authority, returning that stolen power back to the hydro dragon.
1:231:592:39 Such a victorious, beautiful, grand, sweet, romantic, sad, moving, tragic melody... I love this motif so much, I think Fontaine has my favorite theme now
I just finished the Fontaine archon quest. Yes, I know, I’m extremely late, cut me some slack, okay? But I was already on the verge of tears from the Sinner’s Finale cutscene, and seeing Furina walk out combined with the music made me tear up. I can’t imagine how Furina must’ve felt, knowing that everything was finally over and she could finally drop the facade. She could just be Furina now. Not the Hydro Archon, not Focalors, just Furina. “Thank you, Furina. From this moment on, please live happily as a human, just as I wished we could.” -Focalors
The flute part at 1:03 was my favorite, as well as the main Fontaine theme at the end. Those two parts conveyed the emotional part of the quest very well, I think. Boy do I miss this quest!
Are we not going to talk about how *grandiose* the final music composition was?? The Fontaine leitmotifs when Freminet, Lyney, and Lynette were diving were already gorgeous, but that ending made me tear up 💙 What a great finale. Kudos to all the developers and musicians who worked to create such a memorable story!
I just finished this quest (I’m late to the party I know) but I was GAGGED when I saw that shot of Furina crying at the ocean swallowed her home whole. I can’t even imagine the pain she was in all those years, suffering in silence. Only for her people to turn back on her and for the prophecy to come true.
2:36 this part reminds me of focalors' sacrifice theme, but instead of sad it is in a more heroic and triumph manner, which made me break in tears thinking of focalors and furina sacrifice being worth it 😭😭😭😭
So We would like to once again thank Navia for putting everyone together Silver and Melus for their sacrifice Lyney, Lynette and Freminet for their help in this entire journey Clorinde, for being here when we need her Charlotte, journalist harceling people sometime have it's merit Wriothesley and Sigewinne, for the Noah's ark (With Jurieu and Lourvine help) Neuvillette, Paimom, and Traveler for stopping the Prophecy Childe, who need a fucking refund Skirk, actually not really keep you pet in check please And Furina, as well a Focalor, for playing the mascarade for 500 years
Fontaine quest was so good. There is so much bible references. The prophecy being fulfilled is like the judgment day for the people of fontaine. The true purpose of Neuvillette as the highest judge in fontaine is for him to judge them for their sins and then he forgave them.. plus wriothesley's ship as noah's ark reference, focalor sacrificing herself like jesus did in order for the people to be forgiven.. also, at first i didn't undertand why neuvillette's outift was like of a priest until I finished this quest..
i couldnt help but notice also when neuvi changed a fontainian's primordial water inside of them into blood, likely referencing Jesus turned water into wine.
This whole cutscene from technical pov is probably the best one so far. From camera work, character movements, amazing voice acting to impactful music it truly felt like watching a movie. Honestly, the whole Fontaine series looks like a movie and it only excites me for the upcoming cutscenes. I'm the one from Lantern Rite will be breathtaking.
Wanna be even more heartbroken? After the events of the Archon Quest, nobody even thanked Furina for her sacrifice. The only person that did so was Focalors :((
I quickly felt a connection to Fontaine. Every time I heard the background music of Fontaine I get goosebumps every time. Genshin Impact plays nicely in cutscenes. What a great Conclusion 1:542:39
Was Neuvillete's verdict the only reason that the prophecy was mitigated? Celestia's prophecy stated that the "Hydro archon" would be left alone in the end. Since Focalors (divinity and the actual owner of the Hydro archon title) died, did it create a contradiction with the prophecy itself? It was said that Furina was just an actress and only human...so maybe the Hydro archon in the prophecy was referring to Focalors all along
Oh Neuvillette explains this at the end of the quest! His "verdict" is more of a declaration of his conviction to protect the people of Fontaine. What he actually did was use the power he was granted to eliminate the citizens' susceptibility to primordial seawater(I'll let him explain that part in greater detail so I don't end up spoiling more than necessary). I can only guess that what they meant when they said that she deceived the heavenly principles was that she managed to put up a convincing enough front to the Heavenly principles that she and her nation were helpless against the prophecy(which i guess prevented the heavenly principles from attempting to intervene maybe?), when in actual fact she was planning and preparing for Neuvillette to be the trump card against the disaster
I think he said that his now absolute control over hydro enabled him to separate and eliminate/turn the primordial sea element of the blood of fontainian people into regular human blood?
@@robertcastanpn288yep which sets a new precendent in the upcoming archon quests i think, because now we know that the divine throne of archons can be destroyed and a nation can exist without an archon. im curious now if celestia will be in uproar since there is no more hydro archon.
@@AyzevI'm getting a gut feeling that the heavenly principles is going to appear over Fontaine. I don't think Celestia will be too happy to see a former hydro sovereign take over a territory in Teyvet.
That was the whole point of Focalors' Deception and her following sacrifice. To return power to The Dragon Soverign, who could then judge humanity - if he found them still guilty of The Original Sin, then the waters' would have dissolved them. Instead he absolved them of their sins, granting them true humanity, which stopped the prophecy from happening. She seas' rose to dissolve the Fontanins for their sin, and to leave the Hydro Archon weeping on her throne. Instead however, there no longer could be a Hydro Archon, and The Hydro Soverign (more powerful now than the Hydro Archon could be) forgave the sins, thus sparing the people
I just came back to watch this, and I realized something. The sad thing I realized is that no one apologized to Furina after how they treated her, she was desperately trying to convince everyone that she is the Hydro Archon. Because all Furina knew is that if she was busted, Fontaine will be in danger. I love you sm Furina. You deserve to live a happy and normal life now ❤️❤️❤️
FYI : If some of you wondered, why there's flood, well that if a certain being Died or killed wich such amount of Elemental Energy it would blew up to the surface, for example Focalors was an Hydro archon so the hydro power blew up caused a big flood, another is such God of Salt whom killed by her people and make them turned into salt
Focalor gave Neuvillette the authority over Hydro and he turned the people of Fountaine into real humans. Rip Focalors you will never ne forgotten. I know Neuvillette will never forget her ❤
I still can’t believe that all the people of fontain are Oceanid. I wonder if those people that turn into a oceanid, can they be back into a human again like silver and meluc?
If Neuvillette will do it yes since he now has authority over hydro and by extension, the primordial sea. However this would simply be a repeat of Egeria's sin and i don't think celestia is gonna be more lenient just because the hydro sovereign got their powers back. Unless of course celestia can't do anything about it which i hope they.
@@vaehnoprep Additionally celestia is sleeping at the moment most likely recuperating from the cataclysm 500 years ago so perhaps once shnezhnaya ends we would find celestia waking up
I loved the Archon quest but I do kinda wish we got to check up on Furina as we went around checking up on everyone we met and I know we see her during her story quest but that was after all was said and done one scene of us seeing her would have been nice.
What I’ve been wondering is if Fontaine sunk or if the water levels rose. If it’s the second option then considering how much higher up fontaine is compared to the rest of teyvat, wouldn’t that mean the entirety of teyvat got flooded too?
I thought about that too. But it could be that Fontaine's borders are waterfalls (we can see it on the first port when we first get there from Sumeru) so maybe even if Fontaine's water levels rose, it woudl only mean that the waterfalls that separate Fontaine from the rest of world grew taller
Can't wait for hoyo-mix to realease the cutscene osts for fontaine, the soundtracks are gorgeous ! Even a week after having played the quest I still cry like a baby everytime. Furina is the best I love her so much T^T
0:00 imagine if this would be the reality and seeing Furina like that for hundreds or thousands of year, that would take tremendous effort to heal her. I just finished her archon quest and i felt so satisfied with the ending, being an oblivious person does help when there is tons of genshin content that include massive spoiler for a not too active player like me, i already know the story big picture but i didnt know that the detail of the happening. I thought Focalors succesfully stop the prophecy that massive flood would drown fontaine, turns out it was more complicated than that and it was such a good storytelling, the payoff was beautiful. From sumeru's and now fontaine, genshin delivered a masterpiece
This cutscene will always be in my heart for some reason. Always on the verge of tears when I see this. Peak story, peak characters, everything perfect.
"The prophecy was wrong" They all forgot that the primordial water used to dissolve Fontainians lol Edit: Yes I'm aware Nevillette has solved the Prophecy's issue, so I'm talking about the citizen's reactions, since they didn't know about it being already removed.
@@swampet5457 I'm aware of him solving it, but not the people of Fontaine since that's their reaction, unless those who said that didn't witness the person that dissolved during Lyney's trial.
As the waters receded, Furina held her breath as she stepped out of her lonesome castle. The people of Fontaine stood tall and proud. The prophecy was wrong. The skies smile upon you today people of Fontaine. But one must wonder, what awaits for you tomorrow?
2:47 Момент, когда Фурина осознала, что всё кончено, что теперь она свободна, что все усилия, которые она предпринимала на протяжении 500 лет, не были напрасными , пробил меня до мурашек. Это определённо лучший квест, который я проходила в Геншине. Потрясающая музыка, запутанный сюжет с неожиданными поворотами, и конечно же сама Фурина...просто нет слов, слёзы на глаза наворачиваются от того, насколько эмоциональная история получилась
By that logic... I think the entirety of Teyvat should already be underwater with how large that waterfall is... And not to mention it's literally beside a large dry desert... Guess it's one of the "Laws" of Teyvat that cannot be understood by logical means lol
With the size of that plateau, there is no Shockwave or a tsunami, no water level rising in the surrounding area from the displaced water, no effect at all despite being in the middle of the continent. I would expect Sumeru and Liyue would feel the effect if Fontaine sink instead of drowning.
@@Dwolf0113i would expect celestia and the archon of the other nation has a defense mechanism in place for fontaine's local calamity, (like how Sumeru has their wall of samael)
I would like more destruction, I mean, the water level rises and the city is completely submerged and not a single house is destroyed? It would be so cool to have a world or legendary quest or a cutscene of the traveler helping the people of Fontaine to rebuild everything, would have more content.

Theoretically, all Elemental Dragons were as strong or stronger than the Archons, but because of Heavenly Principle's restriction, they seems weaker.
And after Focalors tricked the Heavenly Principle, she managed to return Neuvilette's original power, which allows him to control over all water element, not just how they shape, but also how the water ACTUALLY EXISTED AS

This is the fifth time I’ve seen this scene and I have goosebumps all over again. Truly a masterpiece ✨
So
We would like to once again thank
Navia for putting everyone together
Silver and Melus for their sacrifice
Lyney, Lynette and Freminet for their help in this entire journey
Clorinde, for being here when we need her
Charlotte, journalist harceling people sometime have it's merit
Wriothesley and Sigewinne, for the Noah's ark (With Jurieu and Lourvine help)
Neuvillette, Paimom, and Traveler for stopping the Prophecy
Childe, who need a fucking refund
Skirk, actually not really keep you pet in check please
And Furina, as well a Focalor, for playing the mascarade for 500 years
I like how you didn't thank Jurieu and Lourvine. The two researchers who did most of the work ensuring the Ark could run.
and charlotte for giving us the cheat paper during furina's trial
WHY THE STORY IS SO MUCH LIKE THE BIBLE
@@GoodwillWright FORGOT ABOUT THEM
MY BAD
@@ZE.brigitte To be fair, I had to google their names.
This was one of the best cutscenes I’ve ever seen in the game so far
Fontaine quest was so good. There is so much bible references. The prophecy being fulfilled is like the judgment day for the people of fontaine. The true purpose of Neuvillette as the highest judge in fontaine is for him to judge them for their sins and then he forgave them.. plus wriothesley's ship as noah's ark reference, focalor sacrificing herself like jesus did in order for the people to be forgiven.. also, at first i didn't undertand why neuvillette's outift was like of a priest until I finished this quest..
i couldnt help but notice also when neuvi changed a fontainian's primordial water inside of them into blood, likely referencing Jesus turned water into wine.
I was gonna say… I feel like there were some Christians writing this arc
This whole cutscene from technical pov is probably the best one so far. From camera work, character movements, amazing voice acting to impactful music it truly felt like watching a movie. Honestly, the whole Fontaine series looks like a movie and it only excites me for the upcoming cutscenes. I'm the one from Lantern Rite will be breathtaking.
3:11 I honestly thought a GIGANTIC wave was gonna come💀
LMAO-
BROOOO 2:36 AND SEEING FURINA WALK OUT ARGHHH THE CHILLS
Wanna be even more heartbroken?
After the events of the Archon Quest, nobody even thanked Furina for her sacrifice. The only person that did so was Focalors :((
Not even the people who knew like Neuvillette and Traveller said anything to here.
If Neuv didn’t do his thing they’d be Oceanids again.
At this point they should literally kneel before him and Furina for what she has gone throught for them
Same goes to focalor and furina
I quickly felt a connection to Fontaine. Every time I heard the background music of Fontaine I get goosebumps every time. Genshin Impact plays nicely in cutscenes. What a great Conclusion 1:54 2:39
2:38 I cried in this scene and the OST
2:45 gives me fucking goosbumps bro
Was Neuvillete's verdict the only reason that the prophecy was mitigated? Celestia's prophecy stated that the "Hydro archon" would be left alone in the end. Since Focalors (divinity and the actual owner of the Hydro archon title) died, did it create a contradiction with the prophecy itself?
It was said that Furina was just an actress and only human...so maybe the Hydro archon in the prophecy was referring to Focalors all along
Oh Neuvillette explains this at the end of the quest! His "verdict" is more of a declaration of his conviction to protect the people of Fontaine. What he actually did was use the power he was granted to eliminate the citizens' susceptibility to primordial seawater(I'll let him explain that part in greater detail so I don't end up spoiling more than necessary).
I can only guess that what they meant when they said that she deceived the heavenly principles was that she managed to put up a convincing enough front to the Heavenly principles that she and her nation were helpless against the prophecy(which i guess prevented the heavenly principles from attempting to intervene maybe?), when in actual fact she was planning and preparing for Neuvillette to be the trump card against the disaster
I think he said that his now absolute control over hydro enabled him to separate and eliminate/turn the primordial sea element of the blood of fontainian people into regular human blood?
Only downside is that there no hydro archon
@@robertcastanpn288yep which sets a new precendent in the upcoming archon quests i think, because now we know that the divine throne of archons can be destroyed and a nation can exist without an archon. im curious now if celestia will be in uproar since there is no more hydro archon.
@@AyzevI'm getting a gut feeling that the heavenly principles is going to appear over Fontaine. I don't think Celestia will be too happy to see a former hydro sovereign take over a territory in Teyvet.
No matter how many i look this i always cry 😭😭😭
2:31 Fontainian able to stay and breathe underwater for that long and surprised they didn’t dissolve.
Because of neuvile,focalor and furina
That was the whole point of Focalors' Deception and her following sacrifice. To return power to The Dragon Soverign, who could then judge humanity - if he found them still guilty of The Original Sin, then the waters' would have dissolved them. Instead he absolved them of their sins, granting them true humanity, which stopped the prophecy from happening.
She seas' rose to dissolve the Fontanins for their sin, and to leave the Hydro Archon weeping on her throne.
Instead however, there no longer could be a Hydro Archon, and The Hydro Soverign (more powerful now than the Hydro Archon could be) forgave the sins, thus sparing the people
This whole quest felt like a movie to me
I just came back to watch this, and I realized something. The sad thing I realized is that no one apologized to Furina after how they treated her, she was desperately trying to convince everyone that she is the Hydro Archon. Because all Furina knew is that if she was busted, Fontaine will be in danger.
I love you sm Furina. You deserve to live a happy and normal life now ❤️❤️❤️
Wrioteshley's ship came out like Flying Dutchman is just wow
1:25 If you listen closely, you might even hear Jack Sparrow bumbling about in the deck of the flying ship.
FYI : If some of you wondered, why there's flood, well that if a certain being Died or killed wich such amount of Elemental Energy it would blew up to the surface, for example Focalors was an Hydro archon so the hydro power blew up caused a big flood, another is such God of Salt whom killed by her people and make them turned into salt
Because of the Prophecy but with Neuvilletes Power they didnt Dissolve
Another guess from me: it's because of the huge whale shakes the primordial sea when we fight them, causing the massive leak that flooded Fontaine
Focalor gave Neuvillette the authority over Hydro and he turned the people of Fountaine into real humans.
Rip Focalors you will never ne forgotten. I know Neuvillette will never forget her ❤
Imagine if on 0:26 the Cutscene ended just like that.... that would be terrifying
Then I will notcry if that happens
1:54 MY SON, MY LITTLE BABY BOY, MY CHILD
Natlan still cant beat this
Natlan has pretty good cutscenes too
If you listen to the other archons talk about her they talk about how strong she must have been and it always makes me cry
I still can’t believe that all the people of fontain are Oceanid.
I wonder if those people that turn into a oceanid, can they be back into a human again like silver and meluc?
If Neuvillette will do it yes since he now has authority over hydro and by extension, the primordial sea. However this would simply be a repeat of Egeria's sin and i don't think celestia is gonna be more lenient just because the hydro sovereign got their powers back.
Unless of course celestia can't do anything about it which i hope they.
@@anemojin4384Celestia must be aware of this humiliation by now. They probably wouldn't let such an insult pass if it was to happen again
@@vaehnoprep Additionally celestia is sleeping at the moment most likely recuperating from the cataclysm 500 years ago so perhaps once shnezhnaya ends we would find celestia waking up
I really love the archon quest in Fontaine 🥺
We all love Furina.
When I first came to fountain furina seemed annoying. But now having played the whole archon quest. I cried knowing how long she has suffered
I loved the Archon quest but I do kinda wish we got to check up on Furina as we went around checking up on everyone we met and I know we see her during her story quest but that was after all was said and done one scene of us seeing her would have been nice.
That was a stunning tragic but also hopeful happy ending
This cutscene sent shivers, it was beautiful. Seeing that everyone lived thanks too Neuvillette. Wow…
No one could have done this without furina though 😭
What I’ve been wondering is if Fontaine sunk or if the water levels rose. If it’s the second option then considering how much higher up fontaine is compared to the rest of teyvat, wouldn’t that mean the entirety of teyvat got flooded too?
I thought about that too. But it could be that Fontaine's borders are waterfalls (we can see it on the first port when we first get there from Sumeru) so maybe even if Fontaine's water levels rose, it woudl only mean that the waterfalls that separate Fontaine from the rest of world grew taller
@@GuuiDomingues Ooh that's a good theory! That would definitely make a lot more sense than the entirety of teyvat flooding 😅😅
someone cheesed it out of the cutscene and itsa ctually really flooded but the high wall of a water stops at the waterfalls at the border lfmao
Was wondering if someone was gonna bring this up. The whole cutscene was just so freaking silly... Took me out of it
@@biorecords1506primordial sea water only flows upwards
Wriothesley and his ship entrance was so underated
Can't wait for hoyo-mix to realease the cutscene osts for fontaine, the soundtracks are gorgeous !
Even a week after having played the quest I still cry like a baby everytime. Furina is the best I love her so much T^T
0:00 imagine if this would be the reality and seeing Furina like that for hundreds or thousands of year, that would take tremendous effort to heal her. I just finished her archon quest and i felt so satisfied with the ending, being an oblivious person does help when there is tons of genshin content that include massive spoiler for a not too active player like me, i already know the story big picture but i didnt know that the detail of the happening.
I thought Focalors succesfully stop the prophecy that massive flood would drown fontaine, turns out it was more complicated than that and it was such a good storytelling, the payoff was beautiful. From sumeru's and now fontaine, genshin delivered a masterpiece
Can we just appreciate how beautiful Navia is in this cutscene 😍😍😍
This cutscene will always be in my heart for some reason. Always on the verge of tears when I see this. Peak story, peak characters, everything perfect.
"when the seagulls cry, everything will be over"
The music at the end was genuinely heavenly
God bro..
LITERALLY, GOD. WRIOS BOAT IS NOAHS ARC AND FOCALORS’ SACRIFICE IS SO CRUCIFIXION CODED
"The prophecy was wrong"
They all forgot that the primordial water used to dissolve Fontainians lol
Edit: Yes I'm aware Nevillette has solved the Prophecy's issue, so I'm talking about the citizen's reactions, since they didn't know about it being already removed.
Cause of neuvillette, just after focalors died
I mean yes but Neuvillette made it so that the Fontainians are actual humans so they don’t dissolve into the primordial water
How did you finish this quest, and not understand that Neuvillette resolved that problem 🤦♂️
@@swampet5457 I'm aware of him solving it, but not the people of Fontaine since that's their reaction, unless those who said that didn't witness the person that dissolved during Lyney's trial.
Imagine being a fontainian only to see this giant ship come out of nowhere like where the f was that located??? 😂😂😂
1:04 I feel it. interstellar soundtrack
I want to hug Furina :'(
I want to give her all the love she deserves
She deserves so much love :')
As the waters receded, Furina held her breath as she stepped out of her lonesome castle. The people of Fontaine stood tall and proud. The prophecy was wrong. The skies smile upon you today people of Fontaine. But one must wonder, what awaits for you tomorrow?
Is nobody gonna mention the fact that those magic pouch things Lyney and Lynette were passing out for the flood didnt get used 💀
1:03 This reminds me of Interstellar I don't know why...
you onto something. It does with those waves and the music kinda similar too
2:40 this sounds like that one part in frozen 2 when elsa saved arendelle
All thanks to neuvi folcalor and most of all our dear furina
stop i love this this might be my favourite cut scene in gi
Wrio is basically like Noah, the only difference is that Wrio makes me think of unholy thoughts instead of my scriptures
LOL😂
Navia is beautiful 🤯🫶🏼
2:47 Момент, когда Фурина осознала, что всё кончено, что теперь она свободна, что все усилия, которые она предпринимала на протяжении 500 лет, не были напрасными , пробил меня до мурашек. Это определённо лучший квест, который я проходила в Геншине. Потрясающая музыка, запутанный сюжет с неожиданными поворотами, и конечно же сама Фурина...просто нет слов, слёзы на глаза наворачиваются от того, насколько эмоциональная история получилась
This is literally movie worthy cutscene 🔥🔥🔥
The way the music here swells is so beautiful
I can't explain how much this given me relief when I seen this cutscene
It's so beautiful to see this all over again
My question is, wtf happen to the other nations? Like do they drown as well? it can't be that somehow only Fontaine that drown with all those water.
By that logic... I think the entirety of Teyvat should already be underwater with how large that waterfall is... And not to mention it's literally beside a large dry desert... Guess it's one of the "Laws" of Teyvat that cannot be understood by logical means lol
@@Rue_Elpis777i think what happenef is not that the water level is rising, what happened is that the plateau sinking
You could try to reason that the nation itself sank rather than the waters rising.
With the size of that plateau, there is no Shockwave or a tsunami, no water level rising in the surrounding area from the displaced water, no effect at all despite being in the middle of the continent. I would expect Sumeru and Liyue would feel the effect if Fontaine sink instead of drowning.
@@Dwolf0113i would expect celestia and the archon of the other nation has a defense mechanism in place for fontaine's local calamity, (like how Sumeru has their wall of samael)
people who dissolve before this : "muddahfuk?"
I would like more destruction, I mean, the water level rises and the city is completely submerged and not a single house is destroyed? It would be so cool to have a world or legendary quest or a cutscene of the traveler helping the people of Fontaine to rebuild everything, would have more content.
The power of friendship prevails once again
my question is how does fontaine flood if it’s elevated? imagine someone looking across the desert, and seeing this giant solidified water cube
That's already what fontaine looks like from the desert though
1:23 T H E A R K 💪
