First the Yakshas' backstory now Guizhong's story. Liyue released another tearjerker and I'm loving it.
They be giving Liyue a special treatment 😭
@@natsumei2223 it wasn't that great compare to the history of adepti shown in this event.
Liyue's adepti are well written but for youkai,they literally just put mask on kids and called them youkai.
@@HamBurgerHam. well yeah liyue is based of china so...
at this point liyue might actually drown from all the tears 😭
Liyue best nation fr fr
Poor Ping, I always thought she chose the guise of an elderly lady because she was weary and tried of fighting, but it's sad knowing now that she continues to mourn the death of her dear friend.
i wonder. is she also willing to die like a mortal soon?
it's probably not a guise and her human form is probably that old, also may be the same reason that cloud retainer no longer wants to return to that form
@@judesliggoo if I'm right, she does that because she's ask rax lapis if she can observe humans from up close. she can return to her original form anytime, but that's probably attracts attention.
@@firstservantofmumeiguardia6963 oh wow, that is smart.
I wish she was playable as an old lady. That would be sick
The story of guizhong and madame Ping is actually a reference to a Chinese legend: Buoya and Ziqi. In ancient China, the two were good friends. Buoya was good at playing the guzheng, and Ziqi was good at listening the sound of guzheng. When Buoya played the guzheng while thinking about mountains, Ziqi felt the majestic mountains from the sound of music; when Buoya played the guzheng thinking about flowing water, Ziqi felt the vast rivers. After Ziqi's death, Buoya never played the guzheng again, because he knew that no one could understand his music like Ziqi.
This is a sad story, and I am happy that mihoyo has integrated such an ancient Chinese legend into the game, it is really connotative
Well now it makes the adepti story even better. I love integrating parts of culture in such ways. Reminds me of how Hearts of Stone from Witcher 3 incorporated elements from the polish legend about a sorcerer noble Mister Twardowski who made a deal with a devil.
Shippers: OMG lesbians??? I ship!! And from now on I'll have a very good and perfect argument no why Zhongli isn't inlove with guizhong but with Childe 🤪🤪🤪
@@Dorimefasolatedo it's been 2 hours, somebody feed this troll something!
@@Dorimefasolatedo fr I hate those type of people. Since yesterday, I've seen many people getting harassed on Twitter for liking Zhongli x Guizhong ship. They claim the new event as a definite proof that Guizhong is a lesbian and whoever still shipping her with Zhongli are toxic homophobic.
@@Dorimefasolatedo In fact I ship guili 😆
This really adds more depth and emotions to Zhongli's "...where are those who share the memory?"
They pass away, one and another 😢
Tbh they all are still around, it’s just not Guizhong LOL
Edit: besides the yaksha’s. Only Xiao is left
@@Suited_Natdon't forget the first archons. During the Liyue Archon Quest it was said that the first archons(actual winners of the Archon War) used to come to Liyue to drink & chat with Rex Lapis. Out of them only Barbatos/Venti is alive. Then there were other Gods who allied themselves with Rex Lapis during the archon War & got killed in the war just like Guizhong.
Zhongli has the most losses among all the Archons & is also the most matured one among all the archons. Just think of the First Story quest of Zhongli. He even forgave & expressed his grief for "The overlord of the Tides" even though they were literal enemies during the Archon war.
Yeah...
@@dragonforcegaming7555ven if you are enemies, you still share a memory of something mutual, like the archon war, I guess. They are also one of those that share the memory..alongside your allies, your loved ones, your friends, the people who share those memories are long gone for "Rex Lapis", so even enemies will be cherished, no matter how much you hate them, as long as they are the last one to have that mutual memory. And as of now, he only has "Barbatos", so no matter how much he may think he is annoying, as long as he is gone, there will truly be nobody to share memories with, because they have all..become a memory.
I love how Guizhong isn’t a shy must protecc goddess but then ended up as:
“REX, I NEED TO PROVE A POINT. VOTE FOR A SIDE IN THIS DEBATE!”
True
I mean, we have known that giuzhong created the ballista waaaay back when we're just getting into liyue so I honestly surprised that some ppl though giuzhong as quiet and gentle.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Perhaps people mistake her personality with salt goddess, who was said to have such traits.
Shy?
No
But a gentle and must protecc goddess?
Yes
Madame Ping's idle voiceline in the 1st Lantern Rite "If it could only be as splendid as you were in life..." makes so much sense now in this 3rd Lantern Rite.
AAAAAAAAA thats so sweet
😭😭😭
I think in that case she was talking about Skybracer, since it was the one being honored in that lantern rite
she said that?? now that makes me think madam ping actually had a _thing_ for guizhong. as in a crush, or something.... fanfic authors WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
@@t.k.5088 i think they were implied lovers, not explicitly but the type of implication like kiamei
Guizhong, Madame Ping, Cloud Retainer, and Zhongli look incredible in this cutscene. I feel that there is still so much of Liyue's story yet to be told, and I'm excited about it.
So many adepti. Why does it seem like Liyue had so many more "godly" beings than anywhere else? lol
We still got more liyue regions to come
We still have to see the human form of Moon carver and Mountain Shaper.
@@premiumheadpats4150 Liyue was a battleground for the gods, and the adepti are basically "lesser gods" in terms of power.
@@ProxyDoug That'd be great.
"Tell me, Cloud Retainer.. when the one attuned to my soul is no longer here, who else could hope to understand this tune?" throwing up, screaming, crying.
"We think of human life as like a lantern that's lit one minute and extinguished the next."
Zhongli is barely talked about here but him being in the story adds so much. I keep on getting reminded that he's been there for so long and has outlived so many people close to him, like all the other archons.
As much as his idle quote gets memed on, him saying it is not without reason.
Damn give zhongli those who share the memories
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Its actually pretty nice to see Zhongli celebrating lantern with his friends, despite them not being really good at cooking. They should have invited gouba too.
@@en9719 I still say there's no damn way that the Alcoholic Archon of Mondstadt has not tried Osmanthus wine. Liyue is right nextdoor!
This was one of the saddest animations

You can tell how much the devs care about Liyue, since it represents their nation. They give so much attention and care to the Liyue stories and characters… and I’m here for it!
I believe thats the case, every Liyue related story must be so good
If only they gave as much care towards Liyue's element geo.
@Riruru Ru 😆 Crystallize, heh, here's a shield that can absorb the damage from the element you reacted with.
Literally saying the same thing! Haha it's great though
@Seraph Sumeru?
Madame Ping and Guizhong being close friends really makes you realize why Madame Ping is such a positive person.
Zhongli was corroded by time. Pain and suffering he saw and maybe even did gave him wisdom.
Cloud Retainer was most likely hardy and stubborn, but she too became corroded over time, becoming more like stone, not revealing how she feels to anyone.
Madame Ping always tried to see the beauty in things and loved her ways. But over time she realized everything is beautiful in its own right. Her wisdom is that she learned to cherish every moment.
It's actually implied that Morax isn't affected by Erosion, but rather is running out of "memory space" in his mind. Out of almost all the gods, he is the oldest known entity we've actually interacted with in game aside from Azhdaha, who is a Vishap.
@@silverbro13 and Azhdaha was affected by erosion.
So I think Rex Lapis is affected by both in some way.
And cloud retainer gets more and more juicy gossips to tell hahahaha
@@Kaltsit- He might be affected by SOMETHING akin to Erosion, but as far as we know his memory of the past is perfect - and that's nearly 6,000 years worth of time, whereas Azhdaha began to erode rather quickly post Archon war
Is it correct to compare Zhongli to Raiden and Venti? These two archons have yet to feel the effects of erosion yet. Not as serious as the adepti of Liyue at least. Does this mean archons are somewhat more resistant to erosion?
(Granted both are younger than Zhongli and Raiden is actively taking measures to prevent it from happening)
At last, we finally got to see Guizhong! This cutscene was so beautiful. I really adore her and her relationship with her friends. They all look so gorgeous.
These animations keep getting better and better.
Same
Fr
I mean they have a collaboration with ufotable of all studios so not surprising animation is getting better.
@@catlike9444 just to remind you, hoyoverse has its own animation studio.
@@catlike9444 they have their own studio
We finally got to see Guizhong`s face!!!. Madame Ping`s past is so fitting and touching, Guizhong meant soooo much to her (rival and best buddy). What I love the most is that most of the fanbase got Guizhong`s character wrong, she wasnt some delicate flower but a badass inventor. She was fierce and stubborn, but also kind and friendly. RIP Guizhong, she is missed.
not exactly fierce, she was sass incarnate 🤪
That's what I always loved about Chinese series - the female leads are often feminine yet badass ❤️ Its refreshing to see its not one or the other only. If you haven't already, you should give some Chinese fantasy series (xianxia) a go :3
"Badass" 🗿
I've never seen someone trying to present her as a delicate flower. She was already characterised via the description of Memories of Dust (Dust is her eponym, she was the goddess of Dust), and she actually seemed kind of brutal to Rex Lapis, who was supposed to be her dearest friend. I've always wondered, and still wonder, what happened between them to make her treat him that way. Clearly there is still love (friendly or otherwise) between them at the time of that dialogue, because she gives him an extremely meaningful gift by which to remember her, but she also ties a kind of "punishment" into it. And it clearly still bothers Zhongli, even if he doesn't share that pain with anyone, because although we often see him contemplate the puzzle box, we also see him _smash it into the ground at high velocities_ to smite his enemies (the Planet Befall "meteor" is also Guizhong's puzzle box, the same as we see orbit him in his idle animation and the same as appears as the catalyst Memories of Dust).
@@vitriolicAmaranth she wasn't brutal. I see it as her telling him he doesn't have to open it exactly so he doesn't beat himself up for not being able to open it

My heart breaks when Streetward says “No, it’s everything.”
When you thought they couldn't top last year Lantern Rite, they did it this year. This was so damn emotional. So dang. Genshin is truly a masterpiece and art in its own way.
Is there a climate crisis in it?
I prefer last Laturn Rite honestly but this one is still pretty good and enjoyable. Also these designs are Mwah-
fr
@@colonizingpuertoricoisunde2971 the withering
To be honest, I think the second lantern rite was a little bit better than this one. It was still good though
Imagine if Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping or the other adeptus will become playable characters in the future, that would be really awesome.
Well they have left themselves the option. We now have a workable design for Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping (or Street Rambler as Cloud Retainer seems to call her) and the physical appearance they have taken are ones they chose to take. It isn't like Madame Ping is actually an old woman. It is just the form she has taken to live amongst mortals.
Already doing but it will be in 2 or 3 years time
Please I really want cloud retainer!
if they are playable, the best that they can do is to make them a 4 stars
@@brynphillips9957 it still depends if they are granted visions, most playables are either with vision or archons, anyone else that manipulate elements outside vision were never made playable
I like how Guizhong and Ping's argument is basically about "AI art".
"can machines replicate the expressionism of a human soul". Hoyo really likes to include relevant topics into Genshin, so Im almost certain this was intentional.
The good thing is it does not club you over the head with it if it's true like I did not even think about that but it is very possible true and interesting if so
I don't think it's just Ai Art. I think it's just human nature to ponder just what makes something, something.
If art is just an expression of oneself, would not a single dot on a blank canvas be the ultimate expression of isolation? Or would a beautiful, intricate masterpiece depicting sheer loneliness be art itself?
Nowadays, what is a phone if not a miniature computer? Where do we draw the line of phone vs computer?
And, if you want to think grimly, you can recreate artificial blood circulation to keep the brain alive but who's to say the being is still truly alive before we declare them to officially be dead?
Such questions are merely human in nature rather than a singular event
Gilgamesh vs Shirou vibes
Raiden shogun....."am I chopped liver?"
That's an interesting interpretation
The subtle change of Street Rambler's voice going from her human-adepti voice to her older voice that she uses as Madame Ping at the end there was *chef's kiss*
The part at the end where Streetward Rambler's voice turns low and husky, to the point it almost becomes that of the old lady Madame Ping's was such a nice touch.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice.
That’s what I was thinking!
Fantastic attention to detail. I got chills.
Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping, even Zhongli they still carry the many wounds and still remember the friends that they have lost during the Archon War. Out of all the Gods in Liyue, Guizhong was the most important character in Zhongli’s story but one we never actually knew anything about but knowing her story and how it ended breaks my heart.
She was his wife, and bestowed wisdom upon him. He used to be a mindless, lawless brute before she got hold of him. All of his poise and grace and sagacity was her doing. That's why when she died he took her form and used the sword he made for her to carve a bloody swath through Liyue's gods and demons.
@@Kayriel uhh yeah sorry to burst your bubble of the statement or idk theory maybe but guizhong nor rex lapis(zhongli) is married
Genshin fandom yet again think men and women can't just be friends
@@Kayriel Who said he was a mindless lawless brute?? He was a respected war general and as the video said, they even ask him to judge their creations. Guizhong taught him how to understand humans, not to be a completely different person 😂
I'm glad they gave a side of Guizhong's story that was personal to one of the characters. I think I prefer this story over the one we can read about in game, it really shows how much the characters like madam ping really missed her as well as how much of an influence she was to rex lapis and cloud retainer. I hope that in some permanent story quest we can learn more about her, maybe through the perspective of Zhongli or Madam Ping herself. But either way this part of the lantern rite story is by far my most favorite.
As a Zhongli simp and a Guizhong stan, I am so, so happy that we have FINALLY seen Guizhong and gotten to know a little about what she was like. Getting news that this cutscene existed yesterday made my day, and I was super excited to watch it in-game. It's obvious that Guizhong was dearly beloved by all the adepti, especially Madame Ping and Zhongli. I will continue to make regular visits to her flower overlooking the harbor in her honor. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the story of the Liyue adepti, it's one of my favorites in the whole game.
I'm curious to know where her flower resides so i can visit it too! I've just been wanting to visit where Cloud Retainer told us the story and the flowers growing in Yujing Terrace.
@@sundalosketch4769 Hey there! Sorry for the late reply! The glaze lily is close to the Guizhong Ballista. Go to the teleport waypoint just north of Mt. Tianheng, then make your way south until you reach what looks like a broken land bridge. There’s a ledge that overlooks the harbor, and growing on it is a single glaze lily. I dunno if it’s canonically related to Guizhong…but it’s placement makes it seem likely. I hope you can find it!
@@Quiscala I've found it! Thank you for reminding me about that little flower. I also like to think that every glaze lily is a part of Guizhong watching over all of her favorite places.
That's one more landmark for me to visit whenever i feel down.
I like the way its always daytime when Guizhong is with them but when she dies it's like a sunset and then when they're without her and grieving its dark like night time because its like she was their sun and now she's gone they all feel like their light has been taken away and now they're in the darkness and and and then the new dawn at the end of the video and and and
Please Hoyo make this skin for Zhongli 😭💗 He looks so stunning. And my heart breaks that neither of these three absolutely gorgeous characters will be playable 😭🥺 Look at Guizhong, she is so adorable-

Love love love the character designs!! The zhongli outfit looks so cool, kinda like a battle suit version of his current outfit. Cloud Retainer’s human form looks perfect for her, I love the glasses and the tall pony tail and all the crane motifs on her outfit that correlate with her birb form, and ofc Guizhong looks so pretty and I love the small details in her outfit, like how parts of it are fading into dust, just like she’s the goddess of Dust. Anyways, just wanted to mention these since I didn’t see many comments discussing the designs!
Edit: I forgot to mention Streetward Rambler! I feel like it’s so unfair that Ping just gets generic grandma model when she deserves so much better!! I know it’s an empty dream, but I still hope we can get her playable without changing her age. I’d love to see new playable character models with older age!

I've been eager to see Guizhong in game for forever, and SHE'S HEREEEEE!! She's so stinkin' cute, and she's the bubbly and bratty girl I always envisioned her to be, too! 😭💙💙 And, I also LOVE all the little details in her design: how her sleeves look like there's stardust inside, and the tails of her dress disintegrate into dust; how her hair clip looks like a repurposed mechanical part, like a clock hand, and how some of the details in her outfit resemble Zhongli's. 🥺💙💙 Also, the alternate design's for Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping, and Zhongli!!! THEY ALL LOOK SO. DAMN. GOOD!! 😍😍😍
Designs aside though, the illustrations and animations were absolutely stunning, and the story was so bittersweet. 🥺💙 You can tell how loved Guizhong was by everyone, and how hard her loss hit them all. 💔
I wonder if they'll ever tell her story from Zhongli's perspective, though! Besides animating their meeting and their time together, I'm REALLY curious what the yaksha were doing at the end, when she died??? Containing the destruction her death would've caused??? 🤔 How, exactly, did she even die???
Anyhow, Genshin just keeps getting better and better, and I'm really excited to see what they have in store for us next! 😆💙💙
P.S. Mihoyo, I'm begging you to PLEASE make Zhongli's old archon attire an option to wear in-game. Consider it promotion for the anime!! 😭🙏
The yaksha are definitely containing the power that she likely released upon her death, and it was a fight between gods so she was likely slain by another god.
During Zhongli’s story quest about the god of ash I think. He said when a god dies they release a lot of power. So yea they were most likely containing it. Also cloud retainer said how she died, during the Archon War the enemy overwhelmed her

1:03 Young Madame Ping
Well except they're all grannies now but Madame Ping is such a chad she chose to be seen as an actual granny.
cloud retainer was confirmed playable yesterday, im praying for a playable streetward rambler / guizhong coming back in some way they're so gorgeous
This story is full of emotion. I'm glad to be able to see more of Guizhong and the Adepti. Loved every detail and I can't help it but to feel the sadness they carry because of their lost friends
After watching this cutscene from the game, my heart is once again into pieces. It is indeed a bittersweet memory for them. :(((
Finally after waiting for a long time, we finally get a Guizhong design. My heart :((
I love how Madam Ping and Guizhong are platonic soulmates, kindred spirits and bestest of friends. Reminds me of Anne and Diana!
Also, I would’ve loved if next time if an opportunity arises we get a much deeper lore about Guizhong and what happened when she and Zhongli fought the “enemy” in Guili Plains. There’s so much ambiguity surrounding her death and how it affected Madam Ping, the other adepti, and even have the yakshas seal what seems to be remains of her powers after death.
Mihoyo, you did a great job for this year’s lantern rite! Thank you for giving us Guizhong crumbs 😭
my thoughts exactly!!!!! zhongli did not even mention guizhong, or that she died with only him next to her??? i hope it will be discussed one day :') nevertheless an incredibly great cutscene and story
Well it was during the Archon war so there is a good chance she was killed by one of the other gods fighting for one of the Archon seats. I believe there was a huge flood at the time too (which one reason they moved to Liyue harbor) so it could have even been Osial (or I could be remembering that detail wrong.)
@@brynphillips9957 well, her death is being described as "black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered", her death actually causing the flood (at least it was said so in the world quest with soraya on the guili plains). it is heavily implied that she had connections to the abyss (the stars on her desgin) and she researched khaenriahn devices. no other element other than rocks and black dust is mentioned, which i think implies that it was no foe which killed her, but something connected to the abyss
Is that anne of green gables reference im seeing? Because i absolutely adore it
Guizhong "crumbs", you say? Oh hahahaha
Since Cloud Retainer found her way into the playable characters roster: Playable Madame Ping when?
Next lantern rite probably
Seeing this in game broke me, seeing Guizhong and Ping, seeing their beautiful friendship just for it to end with the archon war :’( I hope the anime covers this time period. Hope to see more of Rex Lapis and Guzihong
Zhongli is the representation that good people suffer a lot, lost Guizhong, Azdhaha, the Yakshas, adept friends and the list only grows each time the past story is told, my homie don't have a happy day
I honestly don't know how he didn't become depressed like xiao
That's the curse of being the strongest even your companion will leave you and wait for you in the afterlife.
Gorgeous animation and storytelling, they nailed this one!!!! Guizhong and Madame ping together looked so PRETTY !!!!!!!
All the animation are same in genshin
BRUH
Guizhong: co-founder of Guili Plains (and therefore Liyue), the one who taught Zhongli how to love and understand humans, and Zhongli's best friend and companion he made his first contract and promise to (to protect the people of Liyue). Beloved co-ruler of Guili Plains and dear friend of the adepti, especially Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping. She is the one who sits with Rex Lapis and Cloud Retainer at the table in Cloud Retainer's abode, and who you give Matsutake Rolls to as an offering. I'm in tears right now because I am so happy Guizhong's story will finally be told and now she has an official appearance 😭💔
Ещё одна трогательная история, заставляющая прослезиться, красиво анимированная и озвученная. А ведь Гуй Джун была по своему гениальна и добра. Хотя она и изобрела гипер-сильную баллисту, это оружие было использовано в целях защиты Ли Юэ.
Guizhong's demise became more painful for me knowing the bond of the Liyue gods and adepti shown in this video.
This is one of the memory Zhongli pertains to.
Guizhong looks so cute ngl! Can't wait to see more stories of Liyue!
Umm.... Well maybe in a flash back. After all she is very dead at this point.
She dead
@@brynphillips9957 yeah, when I think about it so many charming characters are in past 🥲
This scene actually got to me. I'm someone who is quite hardened to emotional scenes after what I've seen, but this just hit hard enough for me to start tearing up. And to think this is my first Lantern Rite, I think I'll have good memories here
Can we appreciate the consistency of their art style in liyue cut scenes. They're so good
ahh everyone literally looks so pretty here, hoyoverse should get an award 😭
@Average Duck Enjoyer Tao? yeah
хойоверсы вам не обязательно каждый раз заставлять наши сердца разрываться от боли
продолжайте пожалуйста
Мадам Пин вайфу, согл?
I know right. I am glad that I can put to rest my thoughts that Zhongli killed Guizhong.
@@yasheedex хранитель облаков тоже
"Хойоверсы вам не обязательно показывать пик креативности абсолютно в каждом месте любого региона игры!"
- об этом я думал 90% времени, исследуя подземные пещеры пустыни Сумеру
@@user-pf5ld5se3m база
1:33 that pose makes me think that Guizhong either died protecting someone with her body or she was snuggling in someone's embrace (possibly Zhongli) before passing away
Whenever I think of cloud retainer, 'one' is the first name that comes to mind
Love how Genshin is starting to reveal the faceless characters to us gradually. I was literally wishing for them to show Guizhong, and here she is, so beautiful
Same
I wish they were playable characters
@@harurav3 same. I just wonder if it's possible T^T
Sadly there all dead unless hoyo decide to bring them back then yes
01:44 Prior to this scene, we knew from lore that Guizhong still has her breathe while with Zhongli. They still able to give their last words before Guizhong truly dies.
Zhongli might be still in shock due to Guizhong's death that when Street Rambler and Cloud Retainer arrived, he just stands there frozen, while the Guardian Yaksas are somewhat subduing an entity that could be the killer of Guizhiong?
no their subduing her power, when a god dies they just don't die like that, their powerful energy would explode and bring well destruction to humans, like the salt god
They must be holding back the energy released from her death. Kinda like with the God of Salt, remember? except the she had no one to seal her so her power went bonkers and infinite salt got yeeted out. Gods emit a burst of energy upon death, so maybe they protected the area from inevitable devastation by sealing back her power.
Ye she actually died in his arms
After agonizing us for 10 months, Hoyo finally announced Could Retainer as a playable character.
Seeing the story of Guizhong and Madame Ping, it makes more sense now. if you go to the place where madame ping always spent her time in liyue, there is some of glaze lily there
0:56 I know the pattern on Ping's youth form dress maybe gingko leaves, but the way they stacked make me wonder if Madame Ping was a fish/dragon adepti. Those gingko looks like scales.
Всё. Режим ожидания баннера Мадам Пин включен. Она великолепна, как и весь ролик в целом, даже прослезился под конец.
Ну молодую мадам Пин мы врядли увидим,а вот человеческую форму хранителя облаков вполне себе могут добавить в баннер,например на следующий праздник фонарей.
@@Kirrua_13 Пин специально изменила свой облик на старую, и сказала ждать ее выступления на следующий праздник фонарей, с учетом того какая она проработанная, тоже большие шансы
@@hlopoq во-первых,она не говорила,что выступит на следующем празднике,читайте сюжет внимательно. Во-вторых,да, как сказала Гань Юй, мадам Пин сама захотела состариться и даже намёка не было о том,что это обратимый процесс,поэтому данный комментарий несостоятелен.
@@Kirrua_13 она выбрала облик какой захотела, по вашей логике хранитель облаков тоже навсегда птица
про то что она выступит цитирую "Что касается этой мелодии, я сыграю её для вас в другой раз. Архонт свидетель, сначала мне нужно попрактиковаться", она не говорит именно про следующий праздник, но а где она еще может сыграть
@@hlopoq в другой раз слишком расплывчатая формулировка,поэтому это лишь ваши домыслы. А за облик не вижу смысла спорить,так как вы делаете лишь предположения и я тоже не являюсь на 100% прав по этому вопросу тут решат сами разрабы,а то это превращается в кейс Синьёры,где часть коммунити говорит,что её воскресят,а другая,что нет она окончательно мертва.
02:01 - 02:10 - can you feel the devastation, mourning, reminiscing and grief in that lone string (erhu, i believe)? that part has made me tear up + given me chills every time i've heard it (especially 02:08), oh my god how beautiful
I'm here because Cloud- I mean, Xianyun has been dripped.
Этот тизер отвечает на такие мелкие вопросы которые возникали у меня пока я проходила сюжетку Ли Юэ. Например, почему мадам Пин живёт в гавани в отличие от всех остальных Адептов и почему она единственный старый Адепт. А теперь все стало гораздо яснее, да и Гуй Чжун с Хранительницей облаков такие красивые..
Как всегда прекрасный тизер)👍
Согласен. Хранитель облаков обладает просто самой крутой внешкой и характером из всех возможных: Статная дама с очками, интроверт с чувством себя великой и много чего еще что круто смотрится на ней( и в ней) но не могу сказать что(.
the art in this teaser is so beautiful. guizhong and streetward ramblers designs are fantastic, it made my eyes water when guizhong died. good job hoyo
Coming back here after Cloud Retainer became playable as Xianyun feels really wild and emotional
looking back, i think about this video a lot, especially when Guizhong died. They said that war broke out against the Gods and that they didn't see Guizhong until she was killed, which implies that what we were told from the beginning of the game was wrong, or at least not the full truth. The game tells us in the beginning that Celestia made people fight to become an archon over the Seven Nations during the Archon War. But I don't think this is true, or at least all of it.
From how Zhongli senselessly murdered other Gods, but there was never an implication that he was going to kill Guizhong or even Guoba, two other gods that he's close with. Isn't that weird? Because if this was supposed to be a turf war, he would've just gone after those two and kill them OR at least think about it begrudgingly, but he didn't. So the Archon War must not have actually been a turf war where everyone was fighting to be the one God of the nation, and that getting a Gnosis was simply a reward that Celestia offered them after it was all done.
And this is even more clear because even though (to our knowledge) Venti & Zhongli had killed every other God in their nations, the other nations like Inazuma and Sumeru had multiple gods win the Archon War. I think we could all excuse Ei and Makoto because maybe it was a twin thing and they won because they were considered one being, but we now know that's not true because of Sumeru.
In Sumeru, King Deshret/Goddess of Flowers/Rukkhadevata won the war together in a three way truce. And there were no consequences. Not to mention that King Deshret was about to be given a Gnosis to be the Archon and he denied it, so it was passed to Rukkhadevata. Which we've never seen that before. So clearly the Archon War wasn't truly about everyone fighting for Celestia's approval.
And back to this video they say the words, "War broke out among the Gods." If this was just about one big turf war, it wouldn't be said this way. And when you do Zhongli's story quest, he says he regrets the Archon War. Clearly this goes beyond just land rights. And we don't know the real reason because the reason we are told in game why the Archon War happened is only told to us by humans.
@@Cxvlestial i think that you're misunderstanding what I meant in by multplie gods winning. I didn't mean that they all become Archons, but rather how in a war where the people of Teyvat say that the 7 archons wiped out every other god in Teyvat, there's actually proof that the statement isn't true. As I said, the people of Teyvat say that the archon war was basically a bloody turf war and this was a 1 winner per nation deal.
And when there are multiple gods who didn't die and in fact stayed alive, that's what I meant when I said won the Archon War together. Especially the three God Kings of Sumeru because they stayed friends throughout all of it and protected their Sumeru together. So I do argue that they did win together.
I'm also pretty sure it states that King Deshret was offered a gnosis, but denied it so it went to Rukkhadevata. Which means at the three must've lived through the War and whatever deemed the end of said war.
There's inconsistent about this scene and the Memory of Dust story, although it can be explained in simple way.
Zhongli was there indeed. Yes he's late but he still there at Guizhong last moment. She finally give him the memory of dust along with some of her last words. At this time, Zhongli probably also summoned the 4 General Yakshas so they can seal Guizhong's archon residue (I mean, that is Yakshas job after all), while the Yakshas seal it, Cloud Retainer and Streetward Rambler arrived at the scene, only saw her lifeless body.
Honestly, we need more of Zhongli and Guizhong story...
yeah zhongli was probably there and the other adepti came in late.
Feel like they're retconning it to change the bestie dynamic from Zhongli+Guizhong to Ping+Guizhong
This was cloud retainer’s perspective of guizhong and rambler’s history and relationship, which was likely why rex lapis is always blank-faced. But i agree i thought this cutscene showed inconsistency of guizhong’s death from Memory of Dust’s text but in actuality just didn’t paint the whole picture. Rex lapis was probably already there when cloud retainer and mdm ping arrived.
@@silverfan9611 It's not really retconning it, it's just presenting it from a different perspective. Morax and Guizhong were clearly immensely important to each other, we know that from the Memory of Dust and the fact that they were the two founders of the Guili Assembly. Morax was the one who witnessed her final moments, all the others came too late.
But this event isn't about Morax, it's about Ping. So the story we're told is presented from the angle of her friendship and mourning.
its 5 yakshas, you can see in the bg when guizhong dies
1:14 Zhongli looking like a king
Hold up.
Return to the world *below*?
TEYVAT IS UPSIDE DOWN GUYS
It's lovely to watch this again after Cloud Retainer was leaked a few days ago 😊
Zhongli every day : armor shoulder pads
Zhongli during war : sleeveless hood
Hoyoverse's animation is getting better as time passes. Also I'm truly fascinated by the backstory of Adepti. This looks really great! Genshin lore is what makes me keep playing the game.
I've just noticed how the part madame ping played in the lantern rite cutscene is in this cutscene during 1:04
these animated scenes just get more and more beautiful... the art :0
