57:54 - Nilou is not a belly dancer, she's a Persian court dancer, a type of dance that is focused on the elegant hand movements, the classical Persian dancers are usually fully covered, but her shoes and head ornaments are culturally accurate
I figured belly dancer was wrong but I didn’t know what she’d be classified as otherwise so I just chose to not say anything LOL. Thank you for the clarification !!
It’s cause much of the design of her outfit is more easily identifiable to a belly dancer, only when she starts to dance that you’d see she’s not. Still sad that her weapon is not a scimitar, would have been a better match than the paddle she currently weild
Yet we know now with leaks that he was first designed even more thin and small and the one we got is the buffest he ever was. He was never meant to be very buff.
@@zr1L I figured it was because they had to make a new base model for him. Like how no playable chars had buff arms until alheitham ect. Glad they did tho he does better as a Himbo
@@zr1Lmy headcanon is twofold, that being that his diet consists of nothing more than Grilled Lavender Melon, so no Bulking, and secondly that since he’s an Oni and possesses incredible natural strength his arms being small partially show just how strong he really is
56:17 SORRY FOR NERDING OUT When he uses his burst (ultimate) he gets posessed by a spirit called Hermanubis. In real history Hermanubis is the god associated with "exploration of truth" and the god who leads the souls of the dead to the underworld the justice part of the character is because Anubis holds the scale of justice. He is a Graeco-Egyptian meaning He was created during the period of Roman domination over Egypt. He was a amalgamation of the Greek god Hermes and Egyptian god Anubis. A man with a dog head in Greek robes holding the staff of Hermes and a tiny papyrus roll.😊
Woah that is hella interesting to learn about! Everyone knew the Anubis theme but I dont think I would've counted on an Egyptian deity literally fusing with a Greek one in actual human mythical history. Ya learn something new every day!
Thanks for the amazing reactions. Fun fact that Yelan’s design is actually based on the Mingguo (the former republic of china before modern day china) style which is a very specific fashion style during a certain history period in China, but Vegas is definitely close enough since that was heavily inspired by the western trend (jazz age) during that time
Also, the casino vibes is more Macau or Shanghai than Vegas. In Chinese movies regarding that time, the casinos are much more linked to the shady underworld and back-alley dealings than about gambling - That's why Yelan's skills are like so as well.
39:50 Shenhe is actually fully human, no god blood or anything. Just brought up under adepti tutelage. Itto's muscles were taken from us, even his character story showed him to be hella muscular :
Wow.. I wished I had a friend like him.. even though he’s not playing and some kinda not interested in Genshin.. he’s willing to listen and watch something you want to share.. I love Genshin and I also wanted to share my experience with my friends also
You just gotta find the right people! I’m sure there’s plenty of friends you either have met or haven’t met yet that would love to learn more about your interests. I def understand that struggle and I’m very lucky to have a friend like Dean, but don’t fret too much. That time will come💜
I have a deal with one of my friends: I get to talk about my hyperfixations as much as I want and she talks about hers for as much as she wants. That way we both get to share our excitement for our hobbies.
Hoping for a character teaser reaction next, they delve into the personalities and backstories more than the gameplay so I think Dean might enjoy learning more about them.
One of the things I love is that throughout the video you keep providing bits of information and knowledge about the lore and also the character's kit and power level, it shows that you genuinely love Genshin and makes the video all the more enjoyable.
I was confused as to which 5 star you skipped, but once I realized it was Aloy between Yoimiya and Raiden it made sense. She's a 5 star character with an asterisk beside her name, because she was a limited time character. Seeing her in online is rare.
@@LARVideos I mean, he didn't do Mona, Keqing, and Qiqi, mostly because they followed the same format with their intro, and being just gameplay. plus the music for all 3 of these start similarly with the tune before going into different compositions to appeal to the character. anyways o7 mona.
To answer the question about Ayato's trailer, the general idea with the commissions in Inazuma is that there is a Shogun and 3 commissions that rule over different matters (military, economical and cultural stuff). I do get quite a bit of the Meiji vibes from the whole thing, but it also has the Sengoku period vibes in my opinion (with the Shogunate vs the rebels on Watatsumi).
This was very entertaining, and Dean's reaction to later trailers was super good. I know people will recommend Character Trailers, but I'll also recommend Version Trailers, since the ones for Fontaine and Sumeru are very good. Thanks for the video!!
hell yes, a part2 so soon! as a fellow Wriothesley and Zhongli enjoyer, I'd say Dean has excellent taste. ;D I'm here to deliver the inevitable 'do la signora theme next' comment, lol. i'm glad the first video picked up steam as much as it did, and i'm looking forward to more fun stuff from both of you!
Idk why the CatJam disappearing and you both bopping your head appearing was so funny to me but its got me giggling like a mad man at 2am also Dean is based for the Al Haitham Dehya Neuvi and Wriothesley hype
I did that catjam bit cuz I thought it’d be funny to do it again from the previous episode, but I agree it was way funnier than it had any right to be LMAO
This was a great video! I loved both of your reactions to Yoimiya, Alhaitham and the Fontaine characters because they’re definitely my fave characters. Also +1 for acknowledging Chongyun in Shenhe’s demo because he still has one of the best designs out of all the 4 stars in game.
10:53 there are mainly 3 types of support characters, as you said - a healer - a shielder, and - the 3rd one is a buffer/debuffer. Kujou Sara is one of the best example of a support char thats only a buffer, she doesn't heal and doesn't have shield, but at C6 she's one of the best raw electro buffer/"support" in the game. Some support chars possess all 3 types, example Diona, who shields, heals, and buffs chars if her shield is active (reduce stamina consumption & increase movement speed), plus at C6 she buffs EM with her burst. Though these classifications are not official, its mainly just to make it clear for the people playing the chars what their roles are in a team.
@@jacenstuff If they're not the loli model, the characters are more than likely late teens at the youngest. The loli model is like mid teens at the oldest with Sayu, who's like 15. If.. you don't count Dori, that is. Who I'm pretty sure is just a really short adult. The youngest medium height character is Collei, who's around 16 at her first meeting with the Traveler. Funnily enough, the tall female model has Shenhe, who's likely around 17 when you first meet her.
4:26 Venti is quite old, however the physical form he takes currently is that of a "Young Bard" who he considered a friend, who died a long time ago. So saying he looks young is completely fair.
You were kind of spot on with the Meiji Restoration allegory. Inazuma is a closed off region, like Japan was. The god/ruler of Inazuma is the Raiden "Shogun". The Kamisato clan helped open up Inazuma's borders again, and basically ended all of the Shogun's plans.
13:12 did this man singlehandedly reference Subject Two without even knowing he existed??? Mans more observant than the entire community it took us a year to figure out what that little bit meant 😂
48:38 The Yashiro Commission it self is not Shinsengumi but The Shuumatsuban (the guys in blue and white outfits with the hats) a secret Inazuman organization under the Yashiro Commission and lead by Kamisato Ayato are at least inspired by them.
From what i remember from deen's husbando video on fate, Wriothesley is such a Dean character. Even his hair reminds me of lb6 Percival when his hair turned black and i know dean love that guy.
13:44 i like his “gameplay” and yes he is strong in what he does but……. He a solution looking for a problem to fix. Or he just lacks that little bit to become very viable. He is one of the best AoE geo damage dealers yet there is no scenario where that is absolutely necessary. His AoE geo damage could’ve been great for shield breaking yet his E does not activate when damaging shields. He has a very consistent rate of Crystalize creation yet crystalize is bad (except for navia tho this comment is pre release) and he doesn’t scale of off EM. He buffs EM and doesn’t interfere with reaction that much but his buff isn’t large enough to subsidize him for nahida or sucrose. He pairs amazingly with venti, sucrose and kazuha yet they have no reaction with each other and most floors aren’t just small groupable monsters. I do use him a decent amount in a Tighnari spread team with Baizhu and Yea Miko. They both make great use of his EM buff in the right rotation and all 3 characters have a fairly decent range so its a very safe team. Rotation: Tighnari E, Yea 3xE, Albedo E Q, Baizhu EQ, Tighnari CA 2/3x depending on how much time you have left then EQ. Yea miko Q into 3xE. His EM buff is nice but its not the end of the world if you don’t have it up in time again. I use this rotation against single target bosses. This team’s rotations are very flexible. In multi wave I rarely use his burst. Only when i have a few seconds of cooldown on my Tighnari and Yea Skills just to get some damage boost. 29:23 Claymores technically isn’t a subgenre of swords. Thats the same as saying the Messer or the sword breaker are a sub genre of swords. The Messer is a specific type of sword forged by knife makers in Germany. Messer means knife. They were called that for the handle. The sword breaker is a special parrying dagger made to mostly be strong against thin blades like the rapier. The claymore is specific type of two handed long sword originating from Scotland. If i recall correctly its one of the largest long swords. Any larger and it comes into the category of the greatsword. These two are often confused in the common media. 56:40 i love that they made Cyno a cliché and a middle finger to popular tropes. Yes he is anubis and he literally judges people and kills if he absolutely has to. But…… he is a giant goofball and a Card game geek heavily referenced/joked about around Yu-Gi-Oh. He has that classical anubis/egyptian character seriousness done absolutely the right but they didn’t made that his whole personality and gave his personality some depth and other sides……… unfortunately they didn’t do the same for his background/story. 1:09:36 i feel like alheitham is very much like Tartaglia. One of the highest damage potential but quite complicated kit compared to other characters, stricter rotations and team restrictions. But very very good. 1:14:56 one of the best sentences in all series/films/video’s ever in my opinion. “My mortality is no one’s concern but mine”. Its soo calm, collected, stern yet oddly intimidating and bad ass. 1:29:00 note that the spotlights are coloured of the elements of previous nations. Green-blue-purple and yellow. Sumeru-monstadt-inazuma-Liyue. She throws money at yellow, which is liyue, where more used to be made. Coincidence??? I THINK NOT!!!!!
1:16:14 As someone who has Baizhu, he was designed with a Damage dealer + Healer in mind, gaining extra Dendro DMG bonus and his main weapon increasing his damage bonus based on his HP, unfortunately the devs thought he’d be busted or something so they Xinyan’d his kit and made it all scale with ATK whilst his healing scales on HP and further Xinyaning him because this is fixed at C6 HOWEVER, currently he is not one of the best healers in the game, he is THE best healer in the game, very solid single target healing on his Burst and a massive teamwide heal on his skill, as well as periodic shields somewhat alleviating one of a Healer’s biggest problems, no interruption resistance, his healing combined with his Dendro Element makes him the best teammate for Furina, who obviously he gains stacks from HP changes (Baizhu changing your team’s HP a lot) but the resulting Bloom Cores generate and deal damage to the active character, further generating more stacks for Furina, he’s the best healer in the game in the teams where it’s most necessary
1:09:32 To my opinion, though my experience, I would say Alhaitham is in the top 5 best dps and even in the top 3, like if had to make the leaderboard, Eula is 5th, Ayaka is 4th, Alhaitham would be the 3rd, then Hu Tao (me beloved main btw) is the 2nd and finally, Neuvillette in 1st position
Loved his reactions! The demos are so fun to watch even without context but your little insights gave him just enough to appreciate more without spoiling too much, amazing. Have you seen the Star Rail character trailers? If not (or even if you did it would be fun to see Dean react to them) it would be interesting as a video idea imo. Keep up the good work!
Pretty much the entire storyline of Inazuma revolves around the Meiji restoration and surrounding events, so I think Dean is spot on. Even the Sakoku decree being abolished was exactly what happened with its namesake being the Sakoku Edict not long before the Meiji restoration.
I like that Dean’s reactions to stuff feel very genuine and very much how my friends would talk about this stuff. Calling Paimon “that one Zelda fairy bitch” absolutely cracked me up at the start cause one of my good friends would 100% call her that too haha Sees Childe: “Does he die in a story chapter or what?” LMFAO every patch according to leakers yes
I'm so happy that someone liked my hubby Alhaitham the first time they see him!! he deserves the best!! when he first came out everybody was talkin about how he's just a dendro keqing and how his banners are gonna stink. Where are you now, huh!? talkin shit about my mans
The fiancee VA trivia is unexpected but a very welcome one. I don't know about EN, but in JP, some of them probably handpicked. For example, Yoimiya is voiced by Ueda Kana, who was born and grew up in the Kansai area (Yoimiya uses Kansai dialect) and is very well known for her role as Tohsaka Rin (you know, red and archer). There are more examples, like how Furina is voiced by Minase Inori (has water in her name) and Wriothesley, who is voiced by Daisuke Ono (basically Jojo), but it will take too long, so yeah. Tech Otaku Save the World indeed.
1:14:20 baizhu is a flexible dendro unit He can be a healer a really good one and a really good sub dps and when you get him to c6 he's broken like he's a cracked unit.
Yoimiya isnt just fireworks, she is summer festivals personified. Her hair is suppose to be a goldfish tail. All those accessories represent something from summer festivals.
Tbh I'd love to see how he likes version trailers, they provide a lot of the context of what's actually happening and the music is great. The part of that one trailer where they introduce wriosthley lives in my head
Yelan trailer is not Vegas. Since she is from Liyue, it's actually old movie protray of Shanghai city during 1930 to 1940s, where it is more like a mix of Chicago where the city is a mix of both Western technology and art with Chinese interpetations. Neon lights, Clubs with singers and jazz bands, and Gangs. Just the version of Shanghai from Kungfu Hustle basically. Edit: it's also what Shanghai was actually like back then, just not as dramatic like the movies.
For me, the peak of Genshin are Layla, Faruzan and Charlotte's demos because in 1 minute they manage to convey their vibe and personality while making excellent cuts and visuals and with a perfect theme song on top of everything as the icing on the cake
29:04 "yeah okay this is now my favorite character" YESS. great taste. Yoimiya is my favorite female character in the game. not enough people appreciate her. i find it so sad that her banners are always run along with archons or more popular characters
6:52 almost 9:24 aaa eyes 14:40 mention the theme pls pls 15:23 and hail Rex Lapis (18:11 sharpest edge in English, red for those two attacks to show more killing accumulating more karma) 39:00 fill in the story for him aaa Unless youre making him play (Also why not full screen) 41:16 crane... ( 42:02 maybe keeping it from him in case he plays) Yay Miko lol 1:08:49 This was the last straw to get me to join And even... I joined because of Kaveh. _in_ Alhaitham's trailer I keep watching because of the group dynamics and talk at the start, instead of Haitham 1:09:37 👀 1:18:50 my first~ 5☆ 1:24:00 though most of the theme/track isn’t quite... I mean I like it better in the version trailer (Actually same with Neuvillette--I was almost all in for the electric behind it)
people say that Dehya is bad because they treat her as a DPS but she is a tank If you watch her miscellany video it is extremely explained and reinforced on how she protects others in lore and her entire kit is based on her skill and not her ult
31:10 people love Yoimia very much??? First time i hear this. As a playable character she is unpopular and hoyo use her as "stopgap" when it is too soon for other characters to have reruns and they need a second rerun char. Her fans actually are very sad that hoyo treat her like this and give her reruns at the worst time possible. As a character in a story she is...okay. She is loved but she is not so popular because she is just "fireworks" and that's all. The number of reruns doesnt say anything. Like yeah Raiden is popular but she had the same number of reruns as other archons and Venti for example is not as popular as her. You need to look at the amout of money the character has made and not the number of banners
12:50 No. Dont give them ideas, already Maguu kenki takes a TON of time to "wake up" on Spiral Abyss, taking its time, and spiral abyss time, for me to see a 3 minutes worth of AMAZING cutscenes of each of my 5 stars: nah uh!
I like how Dean called it on Nahida's trailer 'cause he said "Please be okay" seconds before it goes down the proverbial crapper.
He's smarter than he looks:p
I don't claim to be good at many things, but my media literacy? Schnice.
57:54 - Nilou is not a belly dancer, she's a Persian court dancer, a type of dance that is focused on the elegant hand movements, the classical Persian dancers are usually fully covered, but her shoes and head ornaments are culturally accurate

For sure! And even then sometimes people will classify characters like Kazuha as support too so it def isn’t just healers and shielders:)
I think Anemo generally does crowd control as a support. Like how they gather or moves enemies.
He truly your bestie when he try to understand your hobby
Fr, don’t worry he’s doing the same thing to me with something else on his own channel lol
Its really cool to see your friend react! Little note, I can hear him fine but cant really hear you especially when the trailers are playing
Yeahhhh I noticed that a little too late but will def fix it next time

"She's quite young"
Yeah. Probably around her late teens to early twenties.
I was under the assumption she was much younger honestly

Its been forever since I watched all the trailers too lol. This was great! I really like the commentary on Nahida's trailer lol XD
She must be protected
deyha may be mid in combat but she is incredible for exploration. auto healing and a movement speed buff is so good
Pity you didn't show him Faruzan's and Collei's demos, the music in them is peak. Despite them being 4*
There's always a chance for another video:)
Heizou and Candace especially just chefs kiss 🤌

4 Star character demo song that I love are Heizou, Faruzan, Dori, Collei, Thoma
1:06:05 Alhaithams namesake also comes from the "Father of Optics" Ibn al-Haytham which plays into the mirror aesthetic of his attacks very well!

I do use him a decent amount in a Tighnari spread team with Baizhu and Yea Miko. They both make great use of his EM buff in the right rotation and all 3 characters have a fairly decent range so its a very safe team.
Rotation: Tighnari E, Yea 3xE, Albedo E Q, Baizhu EQ, Tighnari CA 2/3x depending on how much time you have left then EQ. Yea miko Q into 3xE.
His EM buff is nice but its not the end of the world if you don’t have it up in time again.
I use this rotation against single target bosses. This team’s rotations are very flexible. In multi wave I rarely use his burst. Only when i have a few seconds of cooldown on my Tighnari and Yea Skills just to get some damage boost.
29:23 Claymores technically isn’t a subgenre of swords. Thats the same as saying the Messer or the sword breaker are a sub genre of swords. The Messer is a specific type of sword forged by knife makers in Germany. Messer means knife. They were called that for the handle. The sword breaker is a special parrying dagger made to mostly be strong against thin blades like the rapier. The claymore is specific type of two handed long sword originating from Scotland. If i recall correctly its one of the largest long swords. Any larger and it comes into the category of the greatsword. These two are often confused in the common media.
56:40 i love that they made Cyno a cliché and a middle finger to popular tropes. Yes he is anubis and he literally judges people and kills if he absolutely has to. But…… he is a giant goofball and a Card game geek heavily referenced/joked about around Yu-Gi-Oh. He has that classical anubis/egyptian character seriousness done absolutely the right but they didn’t made that his whole personality and gave his personality some depth and other sides……… unfortunately they didn’t do the same for his background/story.
1:09:36 i feel like alheitham is very much like Tartaglia. One of the highest damage potential but quite complicated kit compared to other characters, stricter rotations and team restrictions. But very very good.
1:14:56 one of the best sentences in all series/films/video’s ever in my opinion. “My mortality is no one’s concern but mine”. Its soo calm, collected, stern yet oddly intimidating and bad ass.
1:29:00 note that the spotlights are coloured of the elements of previous nations. Green-blue-purple and yellow. Sumeru-monstadt-inazuma-Liyue. She throws money at yellow, which is liyue, where more used to be made. Coincidence??? I THINK NOT!!!!!
1:13:00 Fun Fact: Dehya actually has a mod in Guilty Gear Strive that switched her model with Sol’s along with her voicelines also.
Wait that’s badass actually LOL
last time i watched you was when you had 120 subs, so great to see that your subs have almost doubled since the genshin music video. keep going man
Tysm😭😭
1:16:14 As someone who has Baizhu, he was designed with a Damage dealer + Healer in mind, gaining extra Dendro DMG bonus and his main weapon increasing his damage bonus based on his HP, unfortunately the devs thought he’d be busted or something so they Xinyan’d his kit and made it all scale with ATK whilst his healing scales on HP and further Xinyaning him because this is fixed at C6
HOWEVER, currently he is not one of the best healers in the game, he is THE best healer in the game, very solid single target healing on his Burst and a massive teamwide heal on his skill, as well as periodic shields somewhat alleviating one of a Healer’s biggest problems, no interruption resistance, his healing combined with his Dendro Element makes him the best teammate for Furina, who obviously he gains stacks from HP changes (Baizhu changing your team’s HP a lot) but the resulting Bloom Cores generate and deal damage to the active character, further generating more stacks for Furina, he’s the best healer in the game in the teams where it’s most necessary
imagine forcing him entering rabbit hole much deeper xD
1:09:32 To my opinion, though my experience, I would say Alhaitham is in the top 5 best dps and even in the top 3, like if had to make the leaderboard, Eula is 5th, Ayaka is 4th, Alhaitham would be the 3rd, then Hu Tao (me beloved main btw) is the 2nd and finally, Neuvillette in 1st position
I’m so happy that my squeals were kept in the vid lol. Good job honey 🎉❤
Loved his reactions! The demos are so fun to watch even without context but your little insights gave him just enough to appreciate more without spoiling too much, amazing.
Have you seen the Star Rail character trailers? If not (or even if you did it would be fun to see Dean react to them) it would be interesting as a video idea imo. Keep up the good work!
Pretty much the entire storyline of Inazuma revolves around the Meiji restoration and surrounding events, so I think Dean is spot on. Even the Sakoku decree being abolished was exactly what happened with its namesake being the Sakoku Edict not long before the Meiji restoration.
its 2023 and hoyo STILL HASENT REDONE TIGHNARIS TRAILER?!
I know I was sad about that:(
Qiqi, Mona and Keqing found dead on a ditch somewhere lmao
hilarious reactions. my next suggestion would be to "force" him to watch the 4 star trailers or character teasers next.
Appreciate the support:D
I know there’s no 4 stars in this but I have to say Charlotte’s demo slaps.
TRUE! Big charlotte fan
also Candace!!
and Faruzan's OST
Freminet's demo too😌
The slide of the instruments during Kaveh’s title screen has got me tweakin
finally some good video while im enjoying my ramen
I hope your ramen is absolutely delicious, thank you for the support:D
I played in Japanese voice
Hu Tao - Emilia of Re:Zero (Takahashi Rei) she’s also voiced Megumin of konosuba
Furina - Rem of Re: Zero ( Inori Minase)
Im living it for his reaction towards the entire Klee demo 🤣🤣🤣
The plot twist of him reacting that way then saying it’s one of the best trailers is great
great reactions!! happy for the reception of alhaitham and wrio. hope u keep him in the basement a while longer LOL
He’ll be here until Genshin is :p
22:42 The wheeze that escaped my mouth was so loud. I’m not one to ship but the vibes are there 😂😂
here for my Main Alhaitham.. Glad your friend like him.. Next time all 4 star please
Duly noted o7
your frind understands more about these characters than most players I've seen.....
I like that Dean’s reactions to stuff feel very genuine and very much how my friends would talk about this stuff. Calling Paimon “that one Zelda fairy bitch” absolutely cracked me up at the start cause one of my good friends would 100% call her that too haha
Sees Childe: “Does he die in a story chapter or what?” LMFAO every patch according to leakers yes
Loved all the commentary! Had lots of fun. Hopefully we will get a teasers reaction next? :)
If you mean character teasers I’m nooooot sure, but maybe ! Thank you for the support regardless :D
Oh boy can't wait to watch this one
Thank you for the support:D
@@jacenstuffI watched the music one yesterday while doing dishes, had a blast. I was happy to see a follow-up
I'm so happy that someone liked my hubby Alhaitham the first time they see him!! he deserves the best!! when he first came out everybody was talkin about how he's just a dendro keqing and how his banners are gonna stink. Where are you now, huh!? talkin shit about my mans
totally off topic but that black cat is the most adorable thing i’ve seen all day (don’t tell my cat that)
That’s my baby Lulu, she’s my life:)
All Archons have a two part story quest *EXCEPT VENTI*
The fiancee VA trivia is unexpected but a very welcome one. I don't know about EN, but in JP, some of them probably handpicked. For example, Yoimiya is voiced by Ueda Kana, who was born and grew up in the Kansai area (Yoimiya uses Kansai dialect) and is very well known for her role as Tohsaka Rin (you know, red and archer). There are more examples, like how Furina is voiced by Minase Inori (has water in her name) and Wriothesley, who is voiced by Daisuke Ono (basically Jojo), but it will take too long, so yeah.
Tech Otaku Save the World indeed.
1:14:20 baizhu is a flexible dendro unit
He can be a healer a really good one and a really good sub dps and when you get him to c6 he's broken like he's a cracked unit.
Noted
Childe's actual name is Ajax btw
"Nephrite of deshret" is one of my favourite music ingame so i would suggest watching the Candace demo.
Yoimiya isnt just fireworks, she is summer festivals personified. Her hair is suppose to be a goldfish tail. All those accessories represent something from summer festivals.
Candance's Demo is awesome thank you ;-;
Tbh I'd love to see how he likes version trailers, they provide a lot of the context of what's actually happening and the music is great. The part of that one trailer where they introduce wriosthley lives in my head
Prepare for tons of views from the fanbase thanks to the algorithm! Myself included😅
Bless the algorithm
Tysm:D
Definitely force Dean to watch Teasers as well 😂
Yelan trailer is not Vegas. Since she is from Liyue, it's actually old movie protray of Shanghai city during 1930 to 1940s, where it is more like a mix of Chicago where the city is a mix of both Western technology and art with Chinese interpetations. Neon lights, Clubs with singers and jazz bands, and Gangs. Just the version of Shanghai from Kungfu Hustle basically.
Edit: it's also what Shanghai was actually like back then, just not as dramatic like the movies.
For me, the peak of Genshin are Layla, Faruzan and Charlotte's demos because in 1 minute they manage to convey their vibe and personality while making excellent cuts and visuals and with a perfect theme song on top of everything as the icing on the cake
29:04 "yeah okay this is now my favorite character" YESS. great taste. Yoimiya is my favorite female character in the game. not enough people appreciate her. i find it so sad that her banners are always run along with archons or more popular characters
I knoooow😭 I’ve thought about rolling for her cons but she’s always in such weird places
6:52 almost
9:24 aaa eyes
14:40 mention the theme pls pls
15:23 and hail Rex Lapis
(18:11 sharpest edge in English, red for those two attacks to show more killing accumulating more karma)
39:00 fill in the story for him aaa
Unless youre making him play
(Also why not full screen)
41:16 crane...
( 42:02 maybe keeping it from him in case he plays)
Yay Miko lol
1:08:49 This was the last straw to get me to join
And even...
I joined because of Kaveh. _in_ Alhaitham's trailer
I keep watching because of the group dynamics and talk at the start, instead of Haitham
1:09:37 👀
1:18:50 my first~ 5☆
1:24:00 though most of the theme/track isn’t quite...
I mean I like it better in the version trailer
(Actually same with Neuvillette--I was almost all in for the electric behind it)
Furina's demo was so fineee Force your friend to watch character trailers too!!
your friend looks like jack from spilling the milk in the best way possible 🤭 loved the vid, love no game no life
ayooo every demo WOOO!!
YIPPEEEEEEE
people say that Dehya is bad because they treat her as a DPS but she is a tank
If you watch her miscellany video it is extremely explained and reinforced on how she protects others in lore and her entire kit is based on her skill and not her ult
You have summoned the might of the genshin community😂
You: "look this character, so cool"
Your friend: look around and "Hey cat"
LOL, looks like your friend not really into this.
Not watching Candiace's trailer is criminal, her demo theme is a vibe.
31:10 people love Yoimia very much??? First time i hear this. As a playable character she is unpopular and hoyo use her as "stopgap" when it is too soon for other characters to have reruns and they need a second rerun char. Her fans actually are very sad that hoyo treat her like this and give her reruns at the worst time possible. As a character in a story she is...okay. She is loved but she is not so popular because she is just "fireworks" and that's all.
The number of reruns doesnt say anything. Like yeah Raiden is popular but she had the same number of reruns as other archons and Venti for example is not as popular as her. You need to look at the amout of money the character has made and not the number of banners
Furina is the most OP character in the game rn ngl 🥶🥶🥶
I full heartedly agree
11:03 He do heal if you have money
HAD TO PAUSE THIS AND WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE RAHHHH WE ARE SO BACK
Dedication, I love to see it o7
12:50 No. Dont give them ideas, already Maguu kenki takes a TON of time to "wake up" on Spiral Abyss, taking its time, and spiral abyss time, for me to see a 3 minutes worth of AMAZING cutscenes of each of my 5 stars: nah uh!
I knew I would be comeing back hehe
Glad to have you back:)
Love your profile picture 😂 It's very based indeed
hes so based for mentioning samira
My first time watching these videos! It’s a bit hard to hear some of the things you guy say I have to be honest but this was very entertaining!!
so sad Diluc doesn’t have his own trailer
