well idk, the fact they all have the same leitmotif in battle themes wouldn't make them fit for unique national representation. if you didn't talk about the battle OSTs, then it's viable
For the Sumeru ones that have two versions, it's bc the first version uses mostly Indian instruments, and the second version replaces the Indian instruments with Arabian ones Those two themes are basically the Sumeru theme, but in different versions bc of how different the halves are
Yup agree, I've been listening to Indian music my whole life so the difference between the beat and probably the instruments they used changes the music a little
I really like this detail tbh. It's like the two parts of Sumeru itself, with the Indian version being the forest and the Arabian one being the desert.
Even the rainforest ones have mostly middle eastern instruments, the difference is that they also have a lot of Indian instruments whereas the desert ones don’t (except for a few songs like Apep’s theme and the sitar in swirls of Shamshir). Saying that the rainforest is Indian music and the desert is Arabic music isn’t exactly correct. A better way of saying it would be that in the rainforest versions the Indian instruments take the spotlight and in the desert versions Arabic instruments take the spotlight, but if you actually count there’s a lot of middle eastern instruments in the rainforest versions as well
Except Fontaine for me. The weekly boss themes were the thing that was a downfall for me. Like, they're...okay, but definitely not the same level as the president ones. The whale theme is very generic in the choir part, although there are some nice motifs, and the dubstep is overdone... And Arlecchino's theme is good, but definitely not on the same level as the other harbingers. But I'm actually curious as to what Natlan boss themes will be, because the music has mostly been a very welcome surprise for me 😅
Mondstadt music: where are the slimes? Liuye music: where are the geovishaps? Inazuma: Where are the wolfs? Chasm : where are the knights? Sumeru: where are the eremites? Desert: where are those triangle robots?
So he didn’t necessarily skip it. We listened to it at the end during the livestream, but I assume since it’s not something we can still experience in game it was left out for the video.
All The Chasm OSTs are played normally when you are underground in The Chasm. They do not have a specific quest tied to with the only exception Irresistible Force. And even then, Irresistible Force is just Tremor of Menace but with Chinese instruments to represent the Five Yakshas.
Imagine only listening to the first half of tremor of menace and irresistible force and ranking them differently 😂. The ending of irresistible force is like my fav track in the game. Wish he would have listened to it.
I have the theory that Photon of Fluctuation si the leitmotiff of every battle theme because is actually the Traveler's Theme, we as a star are light, light is made of photons, and the song's say that photons can fluctuate, what's fluctuate, is move from one place to another, if a person could fluctuate between places wouldn't that be A TRAVELER? We (the Traveler) are the Photon of Fluctuation because we are the star light that came into Teyvat and fluctuate in between the different nations, so our light-wave adaptes to every place we visit, that's why our theme changes depending on where we are.
another explanation for some of the chasm themes edging you like that might be the dynamic ost feature there. they're built to ramp up along with your battle so the base version might be more plain
Another effect this has is that the music is constantly playing and looping, so you'll experience different parts of each song depending on when you enter combat.
This highlights how the music direction for the game changed over time. The music was far more subdued at launch, both for battle themes and overworld. These days we have much stronger melodies on average and I love it.
Songs that plays in the overworld that were skipped for some reason: 1. Impending Danger (The Chasm) 2. Struggle of Dying Embers (Sumeru, Withering zones) 3. Snare Awaiting (Sumeru, Withering zones) 4. Breaking the Miasma (Liyue, Chenyu Vale, Miasma... zones?) Considering the criteria, songs that shouldn't have been here: 1. Irresistible force (Plays in Domains, not the overworld) On another note, I personally find all of the songs listen worthy outside of the game, like when riding the train and such. The only one I can barely stand is Duel in the Mist, because although good, it becomes very same-y very quickly. I get sick of it after a minute or two and it is the only song that I was forced to switch from when my family heard it as it annoys them. As a battle theme, it's good, but outside of that it is just not enough. Despite this, if I listen to my battle music playlist on Spotify, then I don't skip it even if it comes up. My personal favourite Inazuma battle track is Overlord of the Thunderstorm.
For me Duel in the Mist has a very similar problem. My favourite Inazuma battle themes are Against the Invisible Net and Fiery Pursuit (don't remember exactly where it plays, maybe with some of the bosses or in a domain)
@@theDABTAB Vs Inazuma Bosses sadly, Jolts in the Forest is the same which kind of pisses me off cause the bosses are literally smack in the overworld.
Fun fact for those that's played the game long enough... It was lightly introduced in Enkanomiya but was used for the entire Chasm was the fact that the overworld exploration tracks and the battle tracks seamlessly transition into one another based on what you're doing. For some reason, this transition style didn't make it into subsequent patches after, so only the Chasm had this type of OST transitioning in the game.
I think the Chasm songs are very difficult to judge in terms of enjoyment cos they're so unsettling - that beat drop that didn't come, the lack of resolution. It's not something I'd sit down and listen to like with the other battle themes 😅 but it really sounds perfectly like the Abyss.
One and a half hour of pure jamming, count me in ^^ It's a little sad that I didn't get to hear your opinions on my favorite piece of music in entire genshin which is "Die Mitsommernacht-Fantasie" from 2.8 GAA (Fischl domain battle theme), but understandable that event-limited content wouldn't be there
I don't agree with it being the best one, but i agree that it's definitely THE most underrated battle ost ever. Especially the parts near the end of it. Most of the people don't even know about that part existing
@@Glis54 i haven't watched the video fully yet. So idk what you're talking about, but i just remembered what i count as the best battle ost ever. In my opinion, it's "inevitable conflict". I don't know if it's in this video or not tho
Bran's comment about the first Enka Battle OST sounding like breathing hits it on the head. I love the song, but that part of it got too much for me because the "breathing" part got me breathing in that rhythm and almost triggered a panic attack multiple times while playing Enka 😂
For me the strings at the beginning of that track have that effect, I've avoided combat quite a few times while playing Enka - and the bgm in Enka happens to be one of my favourites
I think what makes the Chasm music good is the adaptive part. Like I don't listen to the OST's by itself, but in game the music smoothly transitions from the non-battle version to the battle version and vice versa and that's what made fighting in the Chasm so memorable, not the music itself.
30:29 oh yeah i do. Like i cried a lot during archon, and even story and wold quests, and i shit you not, if the music wasn't there, i definitely wouldn't have cried. The story is the best part of this game, but music is the best best part of this game
1:03:16 fun fact: shamshir in persian is "sword". Now that im here let me tell another fun fact: have you heard of rishboland tigers? Well, rishboland means long beard in persian. Rish = beard. Boland = long. Which is a cool easteregg, because they look like they have long beard
I rarely go to Monstadt after Fontaine becomes a thing, which Monstadt battle ost now only exist in my brain whenever I think of the Card game that Genshin introduced
55:44 I was surprised Gilded Runner was not hyped up. Then I realised he haven't heard the whole song. It gets better and better and better and better after each loop of the Fibonacci
Yeah, I sometimes just killed mushrooms with my shieldbot Zhongli so that I can listen to the full ost. And also that theme plays with the Asimon and Wenut bosses, so, you can listen to it there as well
Natlan's music with the actual Swahili lyrics just hits different. I kind of wish they would have done this with all the regions. I hope they release a German track for Mondstadt at some point (maybe when we get Dornman port?)
I love LOVE the way they did Natlan. I can feel the inspiration from so many places. It feels like it's embracing how so many cultures can work together musically. Here in Brazil there are songs that take influences from so many places since, you know, many places affected by slavery how new cultures introduced to it.
sumeru music remains peak for me now but when snezhnaya releases it might end up topping it for me because the region is partially based on my own culture and also slavic folk music slaps.
That sumeru battle OST is why I often just bring zhongli out and just stand there in his shield, vibing, while some eremite/mushroom is scratching at it.
One note about a lot of the chasm songs is that the game fades in and out between bgm and battle tracks in the same timeline (they're basically the same track just different versions). It's an experience, that at least I think, elevates it quite a bit in game.
One thing to remember about the Chasm and Night Kingdom battle themes, is that they each have a non-combat variant that is synced up perfectly. I get that the gold standard here was "would I listen to this outside the game?" but for me, that transition from ambient to battle and back again is a big part of what I like about them. (Loved the video! I, too, like music.)
That Sumeru BGM is still my favorite as well. Basically what would happen if you somehow could add a legalized crack to a song, especially THAT part (iykyk).
Its so weird as a zy0x watcher, seeing all of these streamers having good enough schedules so much that they can spend hours just reacting to osts. Meanwhile zy0x: I'll do the archon quest next stream, i swear (it's been 3 months and he still hasn't done the 4.7 dain quest)
Not sure man... I feel Mondstadt ones are not hitting because you hear it in a simple, calm region and it's made for that calmness. Imo, if anything, it took a dip during Fontaine in terms of quality and bounced back up in Natlan. Still my favourite melodies of genshin battle Music includes Mondstadt ones. They're super rythmic and melodious
The third battle ost for Natlan always give me Caravan vibes(the one from the movie Whiplash). The changups are similar and I just have to dance listening to them idk why
About sumeru Rainforest part main highlight are Indian instrument together with some middle eastern instrument Where as Desert part highlights are middle eastern instrument with little indian instrument part which is only in swirls of shamshir and desert ver of rhymes of vales (sitar,bansuri, tabla,dholak,tanpura) and bansuri in last desert area in some pieces, Tabla in first desert area Rainforest vibe represent South Asia Desert vibe represent Middle east Swirls of Shamshir and Streams both same but (Bansuri)indian flute is used in rainforest whereas Shamshir (Ney) Egyptian /middle eastern flute Same in Rhymes of vales and Swirls of sachmis (bansuri)in forest and (ney)in desert with saxophone,both had sitar part Obviously my fav is sumeru😂 The instrumental/ is like a dance battle between South Asia and Middle east(like in swirls of shamshir between Sitar/Oud or Rhymes of vales/swirls of sachmus between Bansuri/Ney with percussion and strings, also the first time I listened a mix between these two together Same here Sumeru/Natlan are peak for me again both have mixture of different cultures joining together to create beautifull music
That switch up when he forgot the 3rd Natlan OST and immediately realizes when the song played in just a second i guess we got almost the same taste on music besides the Liyue, we both have the same favorite on Fontaine and Natlan, love the video!
I LOVE LAMENTATION ET TRIOMPHE!!! SO MUCH!! i spent half an hour looking through every piece of fontaine music because i didn’t know i could just look up the battle themes..
Undersea encounters (28:28) and Across Dimming Asterisms (59:20) are my favorite battle ost in the list. One chat you read when they said they haven't listen to Across Dimming Asterisms, is very understandable! Because that battle ost ONLY plays inside the ruin and Wenut boss area. Ruin battle ost itself have two battle ost, so there is a gamble there and lowering the chance of this ost play in battle. It used to be one of the rarest overworld battle ost in the game, Even myself having trouble listening this ost in game again due to the need to fight enemies inside the ruin and BEG this ost plays rather the other ost. Luckily, they add the ost to Wenut boss fight lmao. This ost deserved more
I have my own set of complains with genshin but one thing i can barely complain is their music. It slaps harder than my neighbour getting yeeted by his mom with a rolling pin
Inevitable conflict, Combat beneath the waves, Rondeau des fleurs et des rapieres, and Across dimming asterisms are definitely my favourite combat themes. Honestly genshin knocks it out the park with most of their combat themes. But personally, I think those four just have something so spectacular about them, Inevitable conflict especially. It's genuinely one of my favourite pieces of music ever. (In case you can't tell I'm a little obsessed with genshin's music, I could write essays on them 💀)
When Enkanomiya was released I had severe Covid and in isolation. The experience of playing through it, along with the atmosphere and battle music was very memorable for me.
I'd imagine a teyvat nations competition against each other and the osts are the cheers for their respective nations
Like a marching song
well idk, the fact they all have the same leitmotif in battle themes wouldn't make them fit for unique national representation. if you didn't talk about the battle OSTs, then it's viable
@@eri_samaI see it more as the leitmotif being a sign that even though they are different nations they're all a part of Teyvat
@@eri_sama Tbf the main battle themes have two letimotifs, the Nation's and the OG one
@@eri_sama the idea of it is fun to imagine 😆
I can’t believe he skipped right when the best part of the first Natlan Theme was about to drop
Omg rightttt, The first battle theme of natlan has a very good 2nd drop, that was one of the best i've heard

All The Chasm OSTs are played normally when you are underground in The Chasm. They do not have a specific quest tied to with the only exception Irresistible Force. And even then, Irresistible Force is just Tremor of Menace but with Chinese instruments to represent the Five Yakshas.

With the Chasm ost its so clean when you go from calm melody to battle one and back after fight is finished.

This highlights how the music direction for the game changed over time. The music was far more subdued at launch, both for battle themes and overworld. These days we have much stronger melodies on average and I love it.

1. Impending Danger (The Chasm)
2. Struggle of Dying Embers (Sumeru, Withering zones)
3. Snare Awaiting (Sumeru, Withering zones)
4. Breaking the Miasma (Liyue, Chenyu Vale, Miasma... zones?)

AAAHHHH loved this. Glad to see youtubers passionate about the genshin ost aswell!!
Virelai des marées is my favorite battle theme and Bran's reaction to it made me so happy
SAME. this one and Inevitable Conflict wont ever be toppled for me
ascended when i first heard across dimming asterisms in full and never experienced that again
The third battle ost for Natlan always give me Caravan vibes(the one from the movie Whiplash). The changups are similar and I just have to dance listening to them idk why
Reminds me of mexico in the first part and Brazil in the moddle last time
Already waiting for the weekly bosses one!
The best battle OST for me is the one in Fischl's domain titled Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie.
agree
was expecting you to listen to jolts in the forest and it just got straight up skipped, lol. even tho, great vid as always
Every region should have local legends so we can hear these bangers for
longer
Note to self: Chasing the Torrents is the song with the sick horn revelry that fits so well when fighting the Ruin Guards
Blud in the chat really just said "how do you like this". Bro is against not only a country, but a whole ass continent and more lol.
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR SMTHING LIKE THIS
Chasm battle theme is goated gives you perfect vibe of tension, boss vibe, and lore
100% no doubt Sumeru and Natlan music stand together in the highest tier possible in my books.
Gilded Runner hit so hard my RUclips froze
Did he honestly skip the literally best battle theme, Mitsommernachts-Fantasie? No way. O:
About sumeru
Rainforest part main highlight are Indian instrument together with some middle eastern instrument
Where as Desert part highlights are middle eastern instrument with little indian instrument part which is only in swirls of shamshir and desert ver of rhymes of vales (sitar,bansuri, tabla,dholak,tanpura) and bansuri in last desert area in some pieces, Tabla in first desert area
Rainforest vibe represent South Asia
Desert vibe represent Middle east
Swirls of Shamshir and Streams both same but (Bansuri)indian flute is used in rainforest whereas Shamshir (Ney) Egyptian /middle eastern flute
Same in Rhymes of vales and Swirls of sachmis (bansuri)in forest and (ney)in desert with saxophone,both had sitar part
Obviously my fav is sumeru😂
The instrumental/ is like a dance battle between South Asia and Middle east(like in swirls of shamshir between Sitar/Oud or Rhymes of vales/swirls of sachmus between Bansuri/Ney with percussion and strings, also the first time I listened a mix between these two together
Same here Sumeru/Natlan are peak for me again both have mixture of different cultures joining together to create beautifull music
at 1:00:57 dude I didn't even get to hear this in game because I don't get to fight the enemies that long, I didn't realize how good the music is
Too be honest genshin reallyyyyyy cooked wait natland🔥🔥🔥
That switch up when he forgot the 3rd Natlan OST and immediately realizes when the song played in just a second
i guess we got almost the same taste on music besides the Liyue, we both have the same favorite on Fontaine and Natlan, love the video!
I was not expecting to watch the whole thing in one go, but the music is just soooo good
I LOVE LAMENTATION ET TRIOMPHE!!! SO MUCH!! i spent half an hour looking through every piece of fontaine music because i didn’t know i could just look up the battle themes..
Does any other single video game have this amount of quality OSTs?
enkanomiya is such a gem. Love the ambiance, the terrific lore and the amazing music
Undersea encounters (28:28) and Across Dimming Asterisms (59:20) are my favorite battle ost in the list.
One chat you read when they said they haven't listen to Across Dimming Asterisms, is very understandable! Because that battle ost ONLY plays inside the ruin and Wenut boss area. Ruin battle ost itself have two battle ost, so there is a gamble there and lowering the chance of this ost play in battle. It used to be one of the rarest overworld battle ost in the game, Even myself having trouble listening this ost in game again due to the need to fight enemies inside the ruin and BEG this ost plays rather the other ost. Luckily, they add the ost to Wenut boss fight lmao. This ost deserved more
I have my own set of complains with genshin but one thing i can barely complain is their music. It slaps harder than my neighbour getting yeeted by his mom with a rolling pin
Inevitable conflict, Combat beneath the waves, Rondeau des fleurs et des rapieres, and Across dimming asterisms are definitely my favourite combat themes.
Honestly genshin knocks it out the park with most of their combat themes. But personally, I think those four just have something so spectacular about them, Inevitable conflict especially. It's genuinely one of my favourite pieces of music ever.
(In case you can't tell I'm a little obsessed with genshin's music, I could write essays on them 💀)
Watching this made me realize that whoever composed these OSTs truly loves music with all their soul, especially with the Sumeru and Fontaine Ost
51:50
IS THAT A WALKING FUN GUY!?!? (Fungi)
You should do a world boss one next! I love watching videos like this!
45:05 the strings here play the music when we're in spiral abyss (any floor)
Against All Odds?
Yes@@adiaphoros6842
Thank God one of the well-known Genshin tubers are finally doing this.
am i trippin or bran just forgot summer event battle ost especially "Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie" from fischl castle
Ya it's not included in the playlist, but I'm sure that's an easy S
the dancing characters is so silly lol
15:08 Cicin flys in Liyue! I swear that is when it plays
When Enkanomiya was released I had severe Covid and in isolation. The experience of playing through it, along with the atmosphere and battle music was very memorable for me.
