@@xOrionNebula2708 I am his viewer too and I do respect him, if you read my comment to the end it actually says "I'm just being silly good job with the tree". I do apreciate the intent you had with writing this comment tho.
Yeah I’m excited too, but also still quite disappointed if we still have voiceless characters. Screw AI Edit: guys I didn’t mean to start a war in the replies
@@baguette_connoisseur I think it’s fine for inspiration, but no AI could ever truly mimic the emotions and passion that a VA can put into their character
I do agree with the motorcycle thing, but we can't forget Chasca who rides a litteral GUN. Also, I'm slightly worried about the Archon Quests not gettng voiced for EN (becuase of the VA Strike). There were no EN voicelines on the trailer, and for being the last Natlan Quest, (arguably the most important quest in Natlan) i'm unsure of what's to come. Btw add LOADOUTS PLEASE.
I think they did the gun because they didn’t wanna have a big dragon flying around. It would’ve been very cool but the motorcycle just seems terrible to me and I truly love this game and it’s so offputting.
The motorcycle to me is not Genshin, especially that they did it like four months ago in tower of fantasy, and they both have practically the same animations 😞🤦🏻
Question. People said that the bike is dragons technology. But then the first dragon-like being we see in ochkanatlan quest doesnt even have legs. How does it work then? Like how does he sit in the bike?😅
I feel like I’m only one who’s excited for Mavuika and her motorcycle. I like the different mechanics they add into the game, keeps the game more intriguing for me personally.
The future looks bright for Genshin. Keep up the good work man.( Also here’s a video: Genshin characters ranked on who would save you from the from the abyss)
Last time after the musical event i BEGGED them in the survey to make the event permanent and they listened T_T I'm so happy about it, because this event was incredibly fun for me.
I don't even care about rhythm games, but genshin has some fantastic music. It's been cool to see them add more features each time it came back. It makes so much more sense to have that feature more than GENIUS INVOCATION TCG ™
Ive felt that Fontaine and Sumeru were focuced on the story, suspense and all that how Fontaine's arc kept all of us at the edge of our seats. While as Natlan is focused more on the lore, and not much on how it delivers it i guess u could say? Like its more lore focused with the fake sky, abyss secrets, the curse Kh'aneriah's got, pyro arconS, ancient civilizations and ancient powers like the Phlogiston. And so i think thats a reason why Natlans Archon Quest didnt feel that "fun"? Like Fontaine and Suneru. Its more focused on getting the lore out there, the secrets on Teyvat. And personally im enjoying it alot even if its not as peak as Fontaines, bc i play genshin for its lore so when i saw Ronova mentioned, fake sky all these things, that truely made my mind blow. And especially 5.3's trailer had me shook the whole time, especially the abyss that has taken its form of THE pyro dragon sovereign.
İ mean when you play the AQ it's because you're excited to learn something about the lore, and the story itself will always be less interesting and a lot of time boring compared to it, the problem is Sumeru and Fontaine felt really better written story wise, while it's cleary hype to learn more about the lore because that's the real deal, the story should still also deliver which Natlan didn't do as well, though Sumeru and Fontaine themselves have their own obvious issues.
People only love fontaine more because of Masquerade of the Guilty hard carry and nostlagia rose tinted glasses. I said what I said. Give it a few more months, and people are gonna meatride Natlan, too😂😂
I liked Fontaine region and its archon quest is best of all. The Focalors sacrifice and Neuvilette power up was so emotional, it literally gave me goosebumps watching both Furina and Focalors dancing in the cut scenes 🥶
I feel like a big thing with natlan is they try and do high tech things like motorcycles or dj stations, but they dont add enough magical elements for it to feel in place for the world. We already have tons of hoyo games with modern or futuristic settings like zzz or the honkai games, so with genshin your expecting more older times for inspiration, and modern technology to have some elemental magic reasoning. I could get behind motorcycles and everything, but when you remember things like the camera being a new invention in this world, and them just getting black and white film it just seems so weird for natlan to seemingly be based off of modern times for the cultures they took inspiration from. having some small advancements cause of phlogiston can make sense, but at least try to make the designs of those advancements to look so modern. If she rode some sort of magical vehicle that used phlogiston but didnt look like a motorcyle I feel it would be fine.
I think camera isnt a neccesarily new things. If you remember Neuvi's SQ, Alain appeared in that quest as a flashback and told Seymour to RECORD the happenings in Elynas. Camera is not very recent, but I think that gnsn's tech dev building is a bit of a mess simply bc this is not a complete game. Like back at mondst, the dev dont have the ability to make unique traversal mechanics, Inazuma was the game changer with those electric ropes and turn into a bolt gates and since then, we have more and more unique traversal mechanics even in the chara themselves. But everyone is more caring about the EXTERIOR APPEARANCE of the bike. And its laughable. They dont deny the existence of motorbikes in gnsn, they just dont like "modernism" bc plastic dont exist in gnsn, when ayato's plastic boba cup has always been here sincr 2021 😂
someone mentioned that Alice is likely (and i think canonically) a world/universe traveler. they gave a couple examples like the dodoco phone thing during one of the summer events and i think it makes sense that she would bring back modern things. yes Mavuika’s bike is super modern looking and it could be different. i think a Harley would suit her better.
I honestly agree with all of these so I won't repeat myself, I just hope 5.3 will make it better but at the same time I don't want to keep my hopes up and get disappointed, especially cuz I really want Capitano to be playable and it's been pretty stressful regarding that as of late lol
No, Dw mavuika is gonna revive him, and she's gonna say, " You've been a big help capitano, here have the gnosis." The way things are going rn in natlan. Its so dumb
Honestly I would be more disappointed if it's not in English. I don't understand Chinese at all so if they do the archon quest with CN voice it will break the immersion😢 even if they do provide subtitles it's still different (don't mention "what aboutanime*, I actually do study Japanese a bit so I understand some what they were saying but as for Mandarin I really have no clue)
@hecateazureen6020 that won't happen. If there's no English voices then they won't be switching the language, because all that depends on the settings you have in your game, if you have your voice overs in english you'll only get them in english. If there's no english voice lines, then they will be quiet.
I like the motorcycle, the DJ rig, and the flying gun. What is off to me is the way the settlements look in Natlan. They should have more futuristic elements weaved into them.
2:50 I understand that feeling, the point of the Globe is to make you feel overloaded with that you cant do it all, you cannot singlehandely save a entire nation being present everywhere everytime. But it crash with the context that some people would be fine with the suspensión of belief with a tp and still "oh sure we didnt just tp" after the load screen. But then you have the people calling out the " show dont tell" in genshin. They show you what has happening in "real time" around the traveler and the war and you can get the same feeling Doro has. Same with the prision of fontaine that its there to make you feel trap in a loop cut of outside reference of day and night. Like people trap underwater would be. It doesnt helps that there is a real problem with people attencion spawn and being segments of story VERY unfriendly for streaming, because you have an audience that needs constant visual and emocional content to consume and waiting a mere 1-2 minutes on a globe it's too munch to handle as you want to keep the battery monkey clapping the dishes for the audience to be reactive to. And just to make it clear, you can still dont like it, or like it actually. Thats just my reading on what happens on that kinda moments on the story, there is never a 100% correct answer and thats life, we are all different and are having different moments on life that affects how we react to the same situación.
I think you summerize the situation really well. I think the scene was really well done from a storytelling perspective. Genshin is always criticized for not really doing 'show don't tell' so i think this scene was a good attempt to go more in that direction.
Been playing Genshin and Star Rail about a year, but have only found your channel in the past couple weeks. I enjoy your content a lot. The relaxed, just being yourself, etc. I find endearing. It also is nice to listen to you while I play (I play after my 4 year old goes to bed), and it makes it feel as though a friend is playing with me. Enjoying the content thus far. 😊
I enjoy hearing more of your thoughts! Please continue to upload these kinds of videos! I would love to see a WuWa 2.0 reaction when the time comes and if thats something youre interested in! Thanks for giving us such great content!
People's nostalgia for Fontaine makes them forget how boring Act 3 and 4 were. Surprised to hear Doro saying that Natlan's War is less interesting than the Fortress of Meriopide.... certainly a very hot take lmao
Hard agree, I left the game and did the whole Fontaine story a year later lol cuz I couldn't get past the first court case whatever thing we had to do at the beginning. And same with Sumeru actually, because I was traumatized by how awfully slow and uneventful Inazuma was for me. I later learned to love the two regions but we can't act as if they were peak from start to finish.
Meropide was boring but other acts were insane. Also act 4 ended on a very high note and i was so excited for the next patch. This however didnt happened to me in Nathan, storywise it was ok but charater designs and absence of voicelines lowered my interest in a region. We still have to wait for the last acts to judge but rn fontaine>>>natlan for me
I actually hope Capitano dosen't die. He is highly anticipated by many (including me) and I think Hoyo wouldn't waste that opportunity. I do fear they change him up from his current design (which I hope they WON'T). What I and my friends theorized about is that Hoyo keeps any Info about him in the shadows so the community pulls for the, in the stream mentioned, characters. If they would show Capitano in the roaster, they know nobody would pull for other Characters besides him. Or I'm just coping and being delulu TvT I just hope, his situation won't be another Sunday, Dehya or Emelie situation or that he gets nerfed into the ground. Overall, I'm excited for 5.3, I love the Lore and finding out more about everything that's going on! ✨️
you're not delulu, as a fellow Capitano enjoyer, I actually agree. they said it themselves ''he's an important character'' so why would they kill him? it makes 0 sense
I wouldn't trust them to not kill Capitano just because he's a money maker, Signore was insanely popular but that didn't stop Hoyo from putting Raidens sword through her.
2:18 I think this is Intentional thought, if You notice Act 4 have a lot of "comforting" and gave vibes like "the war is over" kinda thing which lower the stake a lot, however this is just a simple trick, if I am not wrong with this writing style, act 5 will prob gonna be a super banger and slap in the face.Fontaine and Sumeru are different at that regard because the conflict is still on-going, however I have high hope for Natlan, this is the most unique writing style Genshin have yet, I am also kinda glad some people are thrown out of Natlan AQ, because that will just make Act 5 slap ever harder
Yeah, Mihoyo is known to tie every tiny detail together in the final act with a constant barrage of lore and story thrown at you for hours on end. Natlans Act 5 won't disappoint. I can feel the suspense they've built up to Mavuika's death, Capitano's mission and the Sacred Flame burning out.
@idkatthispoint-s9s bro you can easily skip the entire prison arc from Fontaine, and you wouldn't be missing any context, how is it known to tie every last detail again?
@@rimuru_slime1634the entire prison arc is quite important bc it has the gate to primodial sea. And we rly need to find a clue about childe's sudden disappearance and help fontaine officials explaining it to Arlecchino, bc shes a diplomat of Snezh and imagine the chaos if she reported the wrongs fontaine did to her fellow harbinger to the Tsaritsa , the Fatui will force a "diplomacy" to Fontaine. I feel that what you meant to express is "skip the whole prison gameplay" instead of both gameplay and story, bc storywise its still have relevancy, but gameplay wise its skipable to some extent.
@Hie_Hyoumaki no i meant the sotry they could've easily went with one of those black screens that says " you and neuvilette go down to the prison and see how the primordial gate is doing" cuz wrio surly wouldn't stop us if we told him his prison would flood, we would also get childe's whereabouts from him cuz he has connections ibstead of going through the secret language and metaphores and the chores.
3:32 This is what usually happens anyway in terms of archon quests, like I’m pretty sure Act 5 of Fontaine basically overrode Act 3 and the earlier parts of Act 4 which were well let’s just say that Wrio’s SQ and the WQ showed a better Metropede atmosphere. Besides this looks like one of their better animated SQs, the boss itself has impact frames in their animations
Yeah, I think people just deleted most of Fontaine act 3 and 4 from their mind (and for good reason) :D . Almost all we did was just go around the prison and talk to people to discover the "secret's" of it. All of which ended up not mattering at the end!
It's amazing how opinions can differ, especially when it comes to balloon-section. I thought the trip was very good, because you got another complete overview of the horror of the war... But this one balloon ride in particular divides the community so extremely....its fascinating. I know many people with your opinion and many with the exact opposite.
i really liked this style! i loved the podcast-y feel of this video that reaction videos lack. this was easy to put on in the background and listen to what you have to say without having to take my phone out or switch tabs to see some super hype scene that i feel like i missed. thank you!
I love Natlan a lot, literally couldnt stop playing when it released. I have every avaidable oculus and (I think) every avaidable chest, even the tablet of toma won't let me level it up anymore! And I adore most of the characters. Sure there is a motorcycle, but its badass so i dont mind. Could by my bias since natlan is my first new region (I only started a year ago). Also I love these kinds of opinion videos! Its always important to hear others view points and reflect on your own opinion, and I love how you formulate them neatly packaged in this video!
Love how the first .2 seconds had his opinion already given 😂 love that so much instead of what others do having to wait 5 min and a full ad just to hear the basics
I’m excited for the update because this is the first “real-time” section I’ve been able to play from the start. I started Genshin on December 31, 2023 and have play an entire year to catch up to the story. It has been an awesome journey! I’m “old” to be playing video games, but this one sucked me in and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it (except before I pulled Arlechinno and was struggling with EVERYTHING). But, now that I’m finally starting to understand the artifact system, how to build characters, what rotations are, and how to figure them out I’m really enjoying the whole experience!
My excitement and overall motivation for Genshin has definitely dwindled due to how messy of a year it was for Genshin, especially when the Natlan ark started, even tho I loved the story, but it took me longer to get back to it to play the next stories. And I also have a few opinion toward natlan as well
I remember leaks about mavuika riding bike 3 months ago was sus and funny, i wish they would stay sus, moment i saw chasca riding huge gun, i kinda lost interest, they overcooked and burned kitchen, it's not that fantasy world with magic and dragons what hooked me in 3 years ago sadly
@@TheGamingTeam101Tgt101if you look at things outside of the game itself, it’s far from pretty. Sure, I try to avoid the drama, but, just knowing how bad it’s been lately, it can be unmotivating. And even besides drama, the game itself recently, I’m kinda loosing my touch on it, honestly, I loved natlan and many of the things and I think a lot is overhated, but even I felt a slight bit disappointed about natlan. It’s something I can’t properly explain, and Im not trying to make you agree
Lantern Rite is usually a fun patch, especially last year with the arrival of Chenyu Vale. I doubt it’ll be better than 4.4, however we have the finale of the Natlan Archon quest to compensate. That also means we’ll soon head to Schneznaya which i’m really looking foward to. While the Archon quest of the region itself is almost as awesome as Fontaine for me, Natlan itself isnt my favorite region to explore.
I kinda agree with you that Natlan seems not what I'm expecting to be like it's kinda niche as it flies by (that's why i skipped most of the Natlan 5 Stars). By the time Mavuika's banner releases, She will be my 1st Natlan 5 star. I just can't feel the hype and vibe of their kit tbh. Also yes I do like this experimental content you've been trying and hopefully you do more of this. Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year🎄
i get the sensation that this video was made cause people have been hating on bran and others for calling this one of the best updates ever and to all those people insulting and talking shit about bran or anyone hyped, why do u care what others think? like genuently why is it such a crime to like different things, it feels like in the last half a year or so genshin has been getting more and more flack than ever and its just tiring, im just gonna casually enjoy the game screw the haters obvs this also applies to people hating on others hyped for like wuwa 2.0 or any games, im personally super excited for 5.3 but if someone isnt thats completely fine too And these kinds of videos are nice from time to time yeah, sometimes a hit of a more real upfront conversation can be good imo
I really don't mind Mauvika and her motorcycle, yes it feels quite out of place but if you play every quest (Archon and world quests) you will see how much Natlan is very advanced in technology (especially in the Age of the Dragons). So a motorcycle is kind make sens for me.
Well, considering the fact that the trailer was in everything but English, I doubt it so we'll have to switch dubs for a while. Hopefully by 5.4, everything will be back to normal. And Hoyo, it wouldn't hurt to make a replayability feature. Just a suggestion.
@@BriannaDrobot The strike is hurting the immersion of the audience in long-term projects that you patch each month like gacha games. Moreso than the union actors or the bargaining group the union is striking against, the strike is hurting us the audience/consumer.
In my opinion, it's gonna be good. If there is voiceless characters, I honestly won't be that excited. I saw the trailer, and our traveler is gonna be great. I think your opinion is valid, not loving it but being excited. Batman honestly feels to futureistic, I feel like it could be less vehicles and technology. But in general I like the update!
dude doro, i cant speak for everyone, but our household loves your content. your reaction videos to characters and things they say or do, are our favorite. nothing wrong with trying new content ideas and worst case scenario you just dont do that content type again. you cant always please everyone or their tastes. keep streaming and having fun no matter what you do bud!
Sadly, players have a hard time understanding that not every type of content added will match what they like to see or want to play. Genshin community is made up of many different people, and different people have different tastes. Just like not every character will match everyones taste, events and content added will also be either liked or disliked by different groups in the community. I personally like that they add a rhythm game, because I enjoyed playing them in the past. But there are also types of content I don't like. For example, I didn't like Xilonen as a character, and at some point in 5.1 I felt like Hoyo was trying to shove her down my throat with advertisement. But that's just how it is. Different players like and dislike different things. Just keep playing what you like and let other's play what they like. Be happy that Genshin has so many different things to offer and isn't just focusing on just one group of the community. Also, I feel the same about the update. It's cool, but not amazing. In fact, I am most hyped about Echo Trail for Kazuha because I main him 😂
Agree about the Archon Quest. I remember before Fontaine's finale, people were theorizing for weeks on what was going to happen, and then the 4.2 trailer opened with Furina getting the death sentence. Everyone in the fandom was so shocked. There's nothing like that in Natlan. In a lot of ways, it feels like it's only getting started, because 5.0 spent most of its time introducing us to the tribes, and 5.1 finally got the full team together. I feel like 5.3 is finally going to get into the story I actually care about, but it's already at the end. I'm just not seeing the same level of hype, theorizing, and conversations leading up to Natlan's finale.
There's a lot of people speculating about Mavuika's death, Xbalanque's resurrection, the sacred flame going out (which was proven by the trailer), Capitano's goals and what the ignition teaser is even supposed to mean (since it hasn't had any correlation to the story yet) Speculation and suspense isn't the problem, it's just that they've chosen to show and not tell (probably a little too much) which just means we don't have as much information as we did before the final acts of Sumeru and Fontaine.
@@idkatthispoint-s9s Fontaine had large scale stakes, but also the prophesy allowed for most of the Fontaine characters at that time to have personal motivations that could play off all the other characters for interpersonal drama. Examples: Navia's arc was about wanting to protect Poisson and blaming Neuvillette for her father's death. Neuvillette was trying to protect Fontaine from the prophesy, but also avoid a political incident between Furina and Arlecchino, and Navia helps him learn to feel more human. The House of the Hearth were investigating Furina and helping the citizens. Wriothesley was building his Arc to save everyone. The large stakes were a way for these characters to have personal journeys and interesting drama with each other. Natlan doesn't really have this. Asside from Mavuika and Capitano's dynamic with each other, everyone is basically friends with everyone else. Sure, some of the characters are insecure, but their friends will help them. The "goal" (stoping the Abyss) doesn't change most of the champions in any way. The reason they're helping is just because it's the right thing to do. The story is still good, but a step down for me.
7:50 I think I get the same feeling, but looks like its intencional on the way that Natlan will actually NOT be 100% complete with the archon quest and let me explain why: With other regions, like fontaine for example, yeah we felt like a lot more was condenced on the 4.2 story. But AFTER that, the game enters a low period waiting for dainleiff quest and them summer to get some prelude for the next region. And I belive they took to heart that feedback and want to fill up a longer story for a region thats not condenced on 2-3 patches alone. Sure we get events with story but we dont really developt beyond in a permanent sence the lore of the region, like we wont get the academia competicion to develop more kaveh or we dont get rebound furina phase starting to become her own person, the fontaine expansions were their own thing that added lore but more about the past and not present-future of the región. In NATLAN THO. We are told capitano story will unfold a little bit later. And whatever its it can very well be something that could affect the present or future of Natlan. Imagine its like having a BIG breakfast with small bites of snacks the rest of the day. But this time its gonna be a decent normal breakfast but also a sandwich at afternoon and maybe some chicken for dinner. Spreading wider the " something happened to the main story" moments and not just waiting for the next cycle. So let me make a out my ass roadmap for stories. 5.3 end of archon quest 5.4 final tribe/final for small guy quest with lore bomb 5.5 capitano big story moment that involves Natlan actually and not just him 5.6 dainleiff quest with lore of teyvat. 5.7 nord kai, a new pseudo region with a new experience to play with 5.8 summer event with prelude for next 6.0 With the excepción of the summer event all of above are permanent stuff added that would make natlan feel like the most busy region we have played when we look back and its not a self contain zone story and a time limited event story. (New map has both a self contain story but also a larger impactfull one with our small dino) Vs zones on fontaine that added to the lore but not really for the plot of fontaine since the flood was already over. After dealing with the abyss wich will be a constant front for story, we still will have capitano thats kaenriah for another open front of the story of our Journey. + Enough space to still add the time limited events with their stories + whatever zones they wanna add on top like Mare Javari. + If they want to expand on older regions like the port in modstadt or south sumeru or magic yokai island on Inazuma so we meet more yokai ( looking at the cow girl from character preview). Etc etc. TDLR; I belive its a new angle to get more done with a wider range of the full patch cycle than just making a giant arcon quest and then not going 100% until next X.0 patch. So we dont really get " filler patches" so often. (5.2 imo is different because it lets you be ready to power up the tribes for a stronger pyro traveler/ sets the stage of the pyro dragón in the new zone / its the breathing room for the people who WILL be doing the WAR and then dont have to jump directly into direct abyss full assault with mavuika. It would be overkill making you go back to back act to act. Its the game telling you there can be a breathing room IF you want to naturally, if not just do the short quest like any other mid part in any region and continue full force ahead. )
Big disagree about the balloon. You have to conserve your energy, man. The stress/anxiety of the moment only works if you accept the reality that running from place to place would leave an actual person exhausted, but that's not really on the devs to convince you of that truth. Maybe they could've introduced a mechanic that let you run from place to place, but would actively apply a debuff, making you do less damage and fights take longer, but I doubt that would go over well either.
Yeah it's the player's fault for not liking the story and how it's presented and dragged out and one of the most anticipated "evil" character becomes our best buddy because he just cares about natlan more than the tseritsa orders he's just such a good boy. And we go through the "war" arc, and we solve it with the power of friendship. Tbh i was liking the sotry of genshin before but natlan just fucked everything up. It's badly written and dragged out.
@@rimuru_slime1634capitano is never depicted as EVIL. The fatui soldiers always remark him in a good light and even glazing him, they dont have such regards for Scara and Signo. Capitano has always been the good-hearted fellow, he's both idealistic and pragmatic kind of leader. He just happened to work for the "evil" organization, and him defending his "second" home isnt strange. He was rescued during his lowest, he felt grateful for the people of the nation, and he wanted to return the favor by saving them from another catastrope. The Tsaritsa allowed her Harbingers some freedom to do what they wish as long as in the end she still got what she wanted is actually in character for her, perhaps, as a god of love, this is her last "love" for her "servants".
Thank you for telling us that you never paid attention to the narrative. The fatui are never depicted as bad but rather morally dubious because they're doing almost anything for their own aims. And capitano was literally alive during the pyro archons era so who are you to say that he doesn't care about the pyro archon @@rimuru_slime1634
@@Hie_Hyoumaki good point on capitano but that still doesn't change how he went from the most hyped opponent we we're gonna face to just our other buddy you know? And even if he is a good character still doesn't change the fact that natlan story is poorly presented
@Peter-sr8gv im sorry to critique you're 5 billion dollar company's story, its mid at best i enjoyed fontain and sumeru but not natlan, and every harbinger we met so far except childe so far has been evil so how dare i assume this guy is evil too? So sorry.
I mean yeah this is probably going to be my favorite non-map expansion patch for 5.x. so many good stories coming in 1 patch with 4 new characters 2 of them free (traveler and lan yan) and the stories are also conclusion to the archon quest with an archon main story and the end to the masters of the nightwind questline too so the only quests for tribes we'll have left is the collective of plenty which seems to be coming next update if they go in order of the characters in the preview.
Natlan archon quest might be underwhelming but man Natlan world quests is very interesting like storytelling alone make it enjoyable and I enjoyed exploring Natlan a lot because there's a chance I might die if I mindlessly explore it unlike on previous region where there's very little to no risk to explore it.
Having played Honkai Impact 3rd there is a version of Bronya that fights with giant drill hands that turn into a motorcycle as you fight. So im used to Hoyoverse doing wild and whacky things with their designs. And to be honest im all for it. I dont dislike a single thing about the bike for Mavuika. And im happy they are adding new different design directions, every nation has felt like something new. I hope they continue to add more and more cool concepts. You can argue immersion but this is an anime game that already has a lot of high concept magic and tech.
Absolutely stoked about this update, two of my favourite characters will be on banners and my excitement for the story is at its peak. The world quest is absolutely amazing compared to going through fontaines. I love this new video format too
Hi Doro! I appreciate this style of video, 'cause it gives you the chance to go deeper into a given subject without the overstimulation of a Twitch chat goin' berserk or a live feed to watch AND comment on simultaineously. I agree on pretty much everything you said about the last update and, for what it matters, I will pull for my favourite drunken granny (also 'cause I have few cryo characters) since I can appreciate how HOT is Mavuika but I found myself more confused than excited about her gameplay. I'm a fairly new GI FTP player and every primo is a tresure I'm not willing to bet on someone who doesen't make me go "shut up and take my primo!" on fist sight. I wish you and Auty a happy Christmas and, in true GI fanbase style, I'm gonna sign out by complaining... GIMME WRIOTHESLEY!!!!
In terms of AQ, it is very hard to top Fontaine. There wasn’t as much of blades clashing as other nations, but they played off the whole “nation of justice” very well. And the whole plot twist with Furina/Focalors was so good! Also the final Focalors cutscene is always a tear jerker. The sound track for this cutscene is still my favourite to this day too ❤ Natlan is also really good and the music is top tier especially the ode of resurrection. And of course the new exploration mechanics for the new characters is a game changer.
I love Mavuika and her bike, and the character inspirations that she takes from. She's a combination of a bunch of tropes that I grew up with and love (Jean Grey, Goku, Dante, Kamen Rider Ryuki) and I think her kit is an absolute banger to play. I also hope the Pyro Traveler will be good, although I think the Getsuga Tenshos he throws in the dragon fight are a domain mechanic rather than part of his kit (I could be wrong, but I'm getting major boss fight gimmick vibes). Also, I hope the new characters will be bangers. And although the majority of predictions for the last silhouette will be Fontainian, I personally wish she would be our first look into Snezhnaya instead, since they're trickling it in already with Nod-Krai. Overall, 2025 will be lit, and I'm excited for it (with tempered expectations, as should be 😅). Thank you for mirroring my own opinions about the playerbase reaction. Coming from different gaming communities across different genres, I can say that the gaming space nowadays is filled with a new kind of toxicity where people will find the most asinine things to be upset about, and I find it pretty stupid (for lack of a better term). People need to learn to just have fun again, and not think too much about nitpicking every little thing for the sake of nitpicking. I started the game just this year, and I love your content and the positivity you try to propagate. Looking forward to another year of amazing stuff. 🎉
13:30 To be fair, genshin always do things half heartedly/half baked when it comes to endgame content related stuffs. Imaginarium theatre is just abyss with tons of restriction. Hoyo can make banger content like hollow zero and more, but in genshin they always seems to miss it.
Honestly this patch will be quite stacked! We have the Natlan finale in the first phase and the Lantern Rite in the second. I just watched CatWithBlueHat's Genshin 2024 Rewind video and I got such a nostalgia trip with what happened last year, so I'm expecting both quests to be fire. I've personally loved the Natlan archon quests so far. I disagree with comparing them to Fontaine and Sumeru. Those are completed and Natlan isn't and I also think that you might be looking at them with a bit of rose tinted glasses. Not that much more happened in those regions for the first 4 acts. 3/4 of two quests in Fontaine was just us doing essentially nothing in prison :D I mean we're fighting the abyss here (and not the order, the actual abyss itself). If Natlan falls the entirety of Teyvat is doomed. What do you mean by banner's lasting longer? The banners are 20 days long which I'm pretty sure is standard. Yeah, if Hoyo gave us 5 free 5 stars people will be like: "That's not fair, I had to bust my ass off and grind to get all my characters, but new players are gonna be able to get them without doing anything?!"
I enjoy watching these videos because I enjoy genshin. Sadly, I don’t have the time to play it, so seeing others play it makes me happy. I’ve always been an explorer and I’m super into storylines, but I hate having to level up so much. I wish genshin would add some sort of adventure mode so people don’t have to do all the extra things or have to grind so much
The thing thats really bothering and ruining Natlan for me is that I dont want to do the archon quest with voices missing but then the game is also forcing me with fomo to play it if I want to keep up so now I'm going into 5.3 with the thought that I'm going to experience a worse story than it should've been and that kills my excitement.
seeing the storyline so far i doubt its gonna be any worse than inazuma. most of the problem comes from the height of fontaine since that story was so good. so if im assuming youre new, you dont hv to worry abt being disappointed.
My entire thing about the “immersion” is people never stopped to realize every nation is in a time period that’s radically different that shouldn’t make sense with each other. Natlan is only sucker punching so many people because it’s a time period most of us lived in. It’s like if historical tribes lived in the early 2000’s Fontaine is a time period piece of France but with steampunk futuristic robots. Players accept that easier because both concepts are distant from how we live now so it doesn’t seem as weird.
as a new F2P account i gratefully accept more diversity in my teams especially 5 star characters. But i've been wanting Shenhe since the liyue archon quests ❤️
I love the kind of video from you even though GI video is my favorite. To be honest i am getting bored to play GI but after last special program I am getting excited for the story and some silhouette of new characters.
I absolutely love the update mainly bc this is my first region to experience as I never experienced fontaine sumeru inazuma and ect so personally I do love this update and I will enjoy it btw doro I hope you can do more of these opinion videos ❤
I like these kind of videos for sure! While I disagree somewhat on the take about Natlans story, I do sympathize with your reasoning because Fontaine and Sumerus archon quests were just so top tier. I think this next update will be really good imo. (also I feel like the odd one out when everyone says they dont like mavuikas motorcycle, I actually like really love it)
One thing about Mavuikas motorcycle is that I wished it looked more like the old dragons tech more, or like something similar to the 'vehicles' in BOTW. I kinda wanna draw it...
im so excited for chronicled wish though, we finally getting characters that we waited for so long, Im seriously thinking of skipping the banners just to get Xiao and Shenhe. Because Mavuika will rerun again but these characters....🥲Also love THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS, GREAT WORK!!!!
Personally I am very much excited for the update. Basically just wanted two things from Natlan. Those being an abuela character and a flying serpent looking boss. Originally was expecting maybe an abuela who's an npc, but instead we get a playable character with Citlali. Absolutely pulling for her. And for a flying serpent boss, man did Hoyoverse deliver. Big fan of them having it be Xiuhcoatl, so cool to see.
Happy holidays y'all!! I adore these kinds of videos, it's good to get a recap as well as your final thoughts VS. what you said and essentially had to rush and push out the initial reaction to the livestream. I'm super excited for 5.3 too even though the archon quest has been a bit up and down for me as well, because I love it when the stakes are high. Even though someone is definitely probably going to die in this next patch, I just don't feel the absolute dread and terror and uncertainty I felt when playing through Fontaine. All in all though, I am still excited nonetheless. Natlan does feel a bit out-there in my opinion as well, but I also just think the characters' gameplay and kits have been super fun and breathed new life into the game as well. Maining Kinich is by far the most fun I've had out of Natlan tbh, if not the entire game (I'm super late to the party though cause I've only been playing since 4.6) I am super excited for the permanent music event too and I'm really glad they're capitalizing on how well made their music is. OH AND CAN THEY PLEASE FREE WRIOTHESLEY he's the entire reason I got into this game and I still don't have him because he never came back LMAO
I feel like the main fontaine story ended with 4.2 and what came after was just continuation until Natlan. It was with this patch the main story kinda concluded. With Natlan, we have not reached that point yet, since its cpnclusion will be in 5.3. Comparing a complete story to an incomplete one seems weird. It's not like Fontaine's story was that great until 4.2---which is probably the strongest Genshin has ever put out.
I thought i was the only one tbh, i also felt like when 4.2 trailer came out it was so crazy, i was so shocked when it says furina is gonna be sentenced to death. But 5.3 felt like all the problems are done, probably because we finished the war. The eternal flame going out is quite something but not exactly that crazy either For the motorcycle i honestly dont mind. Its quite acceptable imo
Tbh Natlan is the best nation up there so far for me, tied with Inazuma. As its more action based rather than fetch quests. In regards to the technology thing, umm - liyue has adeptus arts that make incredible machines - inazuma had the reactor thing - summeru had the Akashas(headset stuff) - fontaine were manufacturing Mechs powered by pneuma/ousia. Also they had blimps and the ferry Natlan is done well imo, simply bcuz they aretrying to blend tradition with the future. Especially considering that Phologiston is basically a minable Raw elemental energy source
It's insane! My hype for the 2nd half of Natlan can not be put into words. Also share the exact same thoughts about Mavuika and her ride. Let's see if it's acceptable cooking. When it comes to Shenhe I'm quite mad actually, waited almost 2 years and I don't even get to have or save pity, guaranteed or Stellar Reunion. Giant Scam especially because they are now going back on the Rules they set for themselves. Everyone wanting Shenhe now has to pull on a whole nother banner even though she only had 1 rerun.
I do agree with the fact that Natlan's Archon Quest has been short and so all over the place. It's felt more disjointed than any other Archon quest. 5.0 we all remember people criticising Natlan for being a nation of war with no war, and that was hugely improved on with 5.1 but then 5.2 came out with an interlude which didn't help. Another thing I've realised is there is no connection between the traveler and the Natlan crew - should Mauvika or Capitano die in 5.3, I don't think I would cry for these characters because there is a lack of connection. I don't know if that makes sense and someone will tell me otherwise but those are my thoughts. Thank you for the video Doro
I like these types of videos since i don’t usually get to watch you stream. Update seems great and ill be able to level up citlali to 90 faster with the boss respawning. Happy to see my goat arlecchino on her rerun! Crossing my fingers ill get her to c2! Also that dragon looks sicks cant wait to fight it with arlecchino!
first n foremost, i love these type of videos. its nice to have a calm, no hype involved, talk about the different opinions. now, on a different note, ive said this before but "wer arcs" r one of the most difficult things to write in any form of media. its too many things happening at the same time, on a global scale. in that sense, if i were to compare it with inazuma war (ik, ik it was a civil war, less bigger in scale) this was excecuted WAY better. as for the story, the one thing that annoys me, is that everyone seems to pretend that act 3 of fontaine never happened. the stakes could have been higher on the overall arc, but act 3 was an absolute waste of time. half of it could have easily been removed, while the remaining bit was integrated into act 4 beginning, and it is only there cuz hyv wanted to stick to their new formula of 5 acts. so while yeh, it may have some of the highest points, it also has some of the lowests points in terms of storytelling. following the same line of thought, natlan acts seemes more like building something one block at a time. from the individual (kachina struggles with ancient name n mualani becoming a namebearer n learning the truth behind ancient names) to the global (the actual war n what a war emcompasses) and hopefully, to the individual again in 5.3 with a much more intimate combat against the bbeg vs just traveller n mavuika (that said, this last part is yet to be seen, we will see if it gets executed properly) i will give u that the interlude quest could have just as easily been the intro to act 5 or an epilogue to act 4 (which obvs wasnt done cuz it involved a new region that wasnt in thegame at that point in time) since it was like a 30 mins short quest. also, i apologize for the wall of text
honestly, I'm just happy I finally get to know if mavuika lives(I'm fairly certain she will. but there is still a chance she won't, but that would make it how they couldn't rerun her and that makes hoyo lose money so I doubt it)
I personally LOVE the rhythm game and wished it was permanent or had more of it. I voiced it heavily when we had one of those surveys in game... so it might be my fault. Sorry guys. 😂😂
I largely agree with most of your opinions. I'm most excited for Citlali and Lanyan, definitely pull Citlali and choosing Lanyan for my free 4 star. I'll probably pull on Arlecchino's banner to try and get some constellations for Lan Yan as I was already having Arlecchino on my pull list, just... not this early xD but if I were to pull for Arle, this would probably be one of the best banners to do so on.
Im actually mostly excited for Pyro Traveller but when they mention the skill he used works only in the Boss Domain I already have a bad feeling about his kit. I hope that after he gets all 7 elements Hoyo decides to change his kit for each element (of course the chances of that happening is 1%)
I’m really excited for this update Mavuika’s motorcycle surprised me the first time I saw it but I’m glad it did I find her attacks really cool both claymore and motorcycle I can’t wait to do donuts on the bike when using her. This is going to be my first lantern rite and all the events look really fun and someone who likes both rhythm games and the genshin music I can’t wait for the permanent music gamemode. Overall can’t wait definitely a patch that’s going to be really good.
2:41 i feel like at this point (eg. 5.3/4.3/etc) there were indeed higher stakes AND a lot more going on so it felt like a lot and was hard to process. maybe they’re trying to make Nathan easier to process but still feel like a lot?
I agreed. Sumeru and Fontaine are PEAK for me and then Nathlan. Nathlan is Not bad, just i more favorite 2 regions before it. But I still love the Story in Nathlan, so those are my top 3. This is just my personal opinion.. but I am glad i still enjoy playing the game.. and makes me look forward to the next story..

Yeah I’m excited too, but also still quite disappointed if we still have voiceless characters. Screw AI
Edit: guys I didn’t mean to start a war in the replies
fr
Especially since the traveller didn't have voice acting in act 4 and 5 , this patch should be focused heavily on him and paimon leaving him
There are so many benefits to AI though
@@baguette_connoisseur I think it’s fine for inspiration, but no AI could ever truly mimic the emotions and passion that a VA can put into their character
It isn't AI's fault the VAs are acting like children though??
I do agree with the motorcycle thing, but we can't forget Chasca who rides a litteral GUN. Also, I'm slightly worried about the Archon Quests not gettng voiced for EN (becuase of the VA Strike). There were no EN voicelines on the trailer, and for being the last Natlan Quest, (arguably the most important quest in Natlan) i'm unsure of what's to come. Btw add LOADOUTS PLEASE.
A gun is a lot different then a bike tho
I think they did the gun because they didn’t wanna have a big dragon flying around. It would’ve been very cool but the motorcycle just seems terrible to me and I truly love this game and it’s so offputting.
Both the gun and the motorcycle are immersion breaking its not a mutually exclusive thing 😂
The motorcycle to me is not Genshin, especially that they did it like four months ago in tower of fantasy, and they both have practically the same animations 😞🤦🏻
Question.
People said that the bike is dragons technology.
But then the first dragon-like being we see in ochkanatlan quest doesnt even have legs.
How does it work then? Like how does he sit in the bike?😅
I feel like I’m only one who’s excited for Mavuika and her motorcycle. I like the different mechanics they add into the game, keeps the game more intriguing for me personally.
I'm in your camp) I'll celebrate the New Year with my family, and in the morning, when I sober up, I'll go and pull two beautiful women and admire it)
i am excited for her and her bike bc it’s super up my alley, but i do think a Harley would’ve suited her better than something out of Tron

Last time after the musical event i BEGGED them in the survey to make the event permanent and they listened T_T I'm so happy about it, because this event was incredibly fun for me.
I've also been saying this in every survey!!!! Thank god they actually listened liek i never felt so excited for a permanent gameplay
I don't even care about rhythm games, but genshin has some fantastic music. It's been cool to see them add more features each time it came back. It makes so much more sense to have that feature more than GENIUS INVOCATION TCG ™
Ive felt that Fontaine and Sumeru were focuced on the story, suspense and all that how Fontaine's arc kept all of us at the edge of our seats. While as Natlan is focused more on the lore, and not much on how it delivers it i guess u could say? Like its more lore focused with the fake sky, abyss secrets, the curse Kh'aneriah's got, pyro arconS, ancient civilizations and ancient powers like the Phlogiston. And so i think thats a reason why Natlans Archon Quest didnt feel that "fun"? Like Fontaine and Suneru. Its more focused on getting the lore out there, the secrets on Teyvat. And personally im enjoying it alot even if its not as peak as Fontaines, bc i play genshin for its lore so when i saw Ronova mentioned, fake sky all these things, that truely made my mind blow. And especially 5.3's trailer had me shook the whole time, especially the abyss that has taken its form of THE pyro dragon sovereign.
İ mean when you play the AQ it's because you're excited to learn something about the lore, and the story itself will always be less interesting and a lot of time boring compared to it, the problem is Sumeru and Fontaine felt really better written story wise, while it's cleary hype to learn more about the lore because that's the real deal, the story should still also deliver which Natlan didn't do as well, though Sumeru and Fontaine themselves have their own obvious issues.
People only love fontaine more because of Masquerade of the Guilty hard carry and nostlagia rose tinted glasses. I said what I said. Give it a few more months, and people are gonna meatride Natlan, too😂😂
Outside of the sky stuff in the aq, the aq didn't really show lore, now if u said wq then i'd agree but the aq? Yeah no
@McNugge. Genuinely hate fontaine ngl, i found it to be the worse aq by a mile
@@lolidemon3163 Kh'aneriah curse? Capitano lore? Shining shade of death Ronova? Were they also not mentioned in the A

Im soo exited for lantern rite!!!
Xianglings new skin is so cute😁
I liked Fontaine region and its archon quest is best of all. The Focalors sacrifice and Neuvilette power up was so emotional, it literally gave me goosebumps watching both Furina and Focalors dancing in the cut scenes 🥶
I feel like a big thing with natlan is they try and do high tech things like motorcycles or dj stations, but they dont add enough magical elements for it to feel in place for the world. We already have tons of hoyo games with modern or futuristic settings like zzz or the honkai games, so with genshin your expecting more older times for inspiration, and modern technology to have some elemental magic reasoning. I could get behind motorcycles and everything, but when you remember things like the camera being a new invention in this world, and them just getting black and white film it just seems so weird for natlan to seemingly be based off of modern times for the cultures they took inspiration from. having some small advancements cause of phlogiston can make sense, but at least try to make the designs of those advancements to look so modern. If she rode some sort of magical vehicle that used phlogiston but didnt look like a motorcyle I feel it would be fine.
I think camera isnt a neccesarily new things. If you remember Neuvi's SQ, Alain appeared in that quest as a flashback and told Seymour to RECORD the happenings in Elynas.
Camera is not very recent, but I think that gnsn's tech dev building is a bit of a mess simply bc this is not a complete game. Like back at mondst, the dev dont have the ability to make unique traversal mechanics, Inazuma was the game changer with those electric ropes and turn into a bolt gates and since then, we have more and more unique traversal mechanics even in the chara themselves.
But everyone is more caring about the EXTERIOR APPEARANCE of the bike. And its laughable. They dont deny the existence of motorbikes in gnsn, they just dont like "modernism" bc plastic dont exist in gnsn, when ayato's plastic boba cup has always been here sincr 2021 😂
someone mentioned that Alice is likely (and i think canonically) a world/universe traveler. they gave a couple examples like the dodoco phone thing during one of the summer events and i think it makes sense that she would bring back modern things. yes Mavuika’s bike is super modern looking and it could be different. i think a Harley would suit her better.
I honestly agree with all of these so I won't repeat myself, I just hope 5.3 will make it better but at the same time I don't want to keep my hopes up and get disappointed, especially cuz I really want Capitano to be playable and it's been pretty stressful regarding that as of late lol
No, Dw mavuika is gonna revive him, and she's gonna say, " You've been a big help capitano, here have the gnosis." The way things are going rn in natlan. Its so dumb
@rimuru_slime1634 it's honestly possible but I mean, if he dies, I just hope it's written well
Honestly I would be more disappointed if it's not in English. I don't understand Chinese at all so if they do the archon quest with CN voice it will break the immersion😢 even if they do provide subtitles it's still different (don't mention "what aboutanime*, I actually do study Japanese a bit so I understand some what they were saying but as for Mandarin I really have no clue)
@hecateazureen6020 that won't happen. If there's no English voices then they won't be switching the language, because all that depends on the settings you have in your game, if you have your voice overs in english you'll only get them in english. If there's no english voice lines, then they will be quiet.
@@dazastian01 yes either way this AQ is so over. Some groups of people are definitely not going to play the 5.3 AQ until the voice is back
I like the motorcycle, the DJ rig, and the flying gun. What is off to me is the way the settlements look in Natlan. They should have more futuristic elements weaved into them.
2:50 I understand that feeling, the point of the Globe is to make you feel overloaded with that you cant do it all, you cannot singlehandely save a entire nation being present everywhere everytime.
But it crash with the context that some people would be fine with the suspensión of belief with a tp and still "oh sure we didnt just tp" after the load screen. But then you have the people calling out the " show dont tell" in genshin. They show you what has happening in "real time" around the traveler and the war and you can get the same feeling Doro has. Same with the prision of fontaine that its there to make you feel trap in a loop cut of outside reference of day and night. Like people trap underwater would be.
It doesnt helps that there is a real problem with people attencion spawn and being segments of story VERY unfriendly for streaming, because you have an audience that needs constant visual and emocional content to consume and waiting a mere 1-2 minutes on a globe it's too munch to handle as you want to keep the battery monkey clapping the dishes for the audience to be reactive to.
And just to make it clear, you can still dont like it, or like it actually. Thats just my reading on what happens on that kinda moments on the story, there is never a 100% correct answer and thats life, we are all different and are having different moments on life that affects how we react to the same situación.
I think you summerize the situation really well. I think the scene was really well done from a storytelling perspective. Genshin is always criticized for not really doing 'show don't tell' so i think this scene was a good attempt to go more in that direction.
Been playing Genshin and Star Rail about a year, but have only found your channel in the past couple weeks. I enjoy your content a lot. The relaxed, just being yourself, etc. I find endearing. It also is nice to listen to you while I play (I play after my 4 year old goes to bed), and it makes it feel as though a friend is playing with me. Enjoying the content thus far. 😊
Love raw videos like this doro, keep em cooking
I enjoy hearing more of your thoughts! Please continue to upload these kinds of videos! I would love to see a WuWa 2.0 reaction when the time comes and if thats something youre interested in! Thanks for giving us such great content!
Same, 2.0 looks really good. But genshin is gonna have to free the cryo characters from prison if I'm gonna come back
People's nostalgia for Fontaine makes them forget how boring Act 3 and 4 were.
Surprised to hear Doro saying that Natlan's War is less interesting than the Fortress of Meriopide.... certainly a very hot take lmao
Exactly
And they keep judging natlan story before the final act .
Hard agree, I left the game and did the whole Fontaine story a year later lol cuz I couldn't get past the first court case whatever thing we had to do at the beginning. And same with Sumeru actually, because I was traumatized by how awfully slow and uneventful Inazuma was for me. I later learned to love the two regions but we can't act as if they were peak from start to finish.
Meropide was boring but other acts were insane. Also act 4 ended on a very high note and i was so excited for the next patch. This however didnt happened to me in Nathan, storywise it was ok but charater designs and absence of voicelines lowered my interest in a region.
We still have to wait for the last acts to judge but rn fontaine>>>natlan for me
I guess because there's suspense in the air unlike on Natlan where it feels predictable
@@tidf-wh1zg Really.... since its so predictable please tell me what happens to Capitano in the next patch, I can't wait any longer to find out!
I actually hope Capitano dosen't die. He is highly anticipated by many (including me) and I think Hoyo wouldn't waste that opportunity. I do fear they change him up from his current design (which I hope they WON'T). What I and my friends theorized about is that Hoyo keeps any Info about him in the shadows so the community pulls for the, in the stream mentioned, characters. If they would show Capitano in the roaster, they know nobody would pull for other Characters besides him.
Or I'm just coping and being delulu TvT
I just hope, his situation won't be another Sunday, Dehya or Emelie situation or that he gets nerfed into the ground.
Overall, I'm excited for 5.3, I love the Lore and finding out more about everything that's going on! ✨️
you're not delulu, as a fellow Capitano enjoyer, I actually agree. they said it themselves ''he's an important character'' so why would they kill him? it makes 0 sense
If he dies I'm quitting genshin
The only thing i want them to NOT do is giving him Itto noodle arms 😂
I wouldn't trust them to not kill Capitano just because he's a money maker, Signore was insanely popular but that didn't stop Hoyo from putting Raidens sword through her.
@@idkatthispoint-s9s signora wasn't as important to the story as capitano is
I liked this review type of video and I wouldn't mind more of it, I actually like it when people voice their opinions.
2:18 I think this is Intentional thought, if You notice Act 4 have a lot of "comforting" and gave vibes like "the war is over" kinda thing which lower the stake a lot, however this is just a simple trick, if I am not wrong with this writing style, act 5 will prob gonna be a super banger and slap in the face.Fontaine and Sumeru are different at that regard because the conflict is still on-going, however I have high hope for Natlan, this is the most unique writing style Genshin have yet, I am also kinda glad some people are thrown out of Natlan AQ, because that will just make Act 5 slap ever harder
Yeah, Mihoyo is known to tie every tiny detail together in the final act with a constant barrage of lore and story thrown at you for hours on end.
Natlans Act 5 won't disappoint. I can feel the suspense they've built up to Mavuika's death, Capitano's mission and the Sacred Flame burning out.
@idkatthispoint-s9s fun fact, its not mavuika who'll die
@idkatthispoint-s9s bro you can easily skip the entire prison arc from Fontaine, and you wouldn't be missing any context, how is it known to tie every last detail again?
@@rimuru_slime1634the entire prison arc is quite important bc it has the gate to primodial sea. And we rly need to find a clue about childe's sudden disappearance and help fontaine officials explaining it to Arlecchino, bc shes a diplomat of Snezh and imagine the chaos if she reported the wrongs fontaine did to her fellow harbinger to the Tsaritsa , the Fatui will force a "diplomacy" to Fontaine.
I feel that what you meant to express is "skip the whole prison gameplay" instead of both gameplay and story, bc storywise its still have relevancy, but gameplay wise its skipable to some extent.
@Hie_Hyoumaki no i meant the sotry they could've easily went with one of those black screens that says " you and neuvilette go down to the prison and see how the primordial gate is doing" cuz wrio surly wouldn't stop us if we told him his prison would flood, we would also get childe's whereabouts from him cuz he has connections ibstead of going through the secret language and metaphores and the chores.
3:32 This is what usually happens anyway in terms of archon quests, like I’m pretty sure Act 5 of Fontaine basically overrode Act 3 and the earlier parts of Act 4 which were well let’s just say that Wrio’s SQ and the WQ showed a better Metropede atmosphere. Besides this looks like one of their better animated SQs, the boss itself has impact frames in their animations
Yeah, I think people just deleted most of Fontaine act 3 and 4 from their mind (and for good reason) :D . Almost all we did was just go around the prison and talk to people to discover the "secret's" of it. All of which ended up not mattering at the end!
I really like this style of video. It feels genuine and just chill so I hope to see more of it along with your other content ♡! Keep it up Doro
It's amazing how opinions can differ, especially when it comes to balloon-section.
I thought the trip was very good, because you got another complete overview of the horror of the war... But this one balloon ride in particular divides the community so extremely....its fascinating. I know many people with your opinion and many with the exact opposite.
i really liked this style! i loved the podcast-y feel of this video that reaction videos lack. this was easy to put on in the background and listen to what you have to say without having to take my phone out or switch tabs to see some super hype scene that i feel like i missed. thank you!
I love Natlan a lot, literally couldnt stop playing when it released. I have every avaidable oculus and (I think) every avaidable chest, even the tablet of toma won't let me level it up anymore! And I adore most of the characters. Sure there is a motorcycle, but its badass so i dont mind. Could by my bias since natlan is my first new region (I only started a year ago). Also I love these kinds of opinion videos! Its always important to hear others view points and reflect on your own opinion, and I love how you formulate them neatly packaged in this video!
Love how the first .2 seconds had his opinion already given 😂 love that so much instead of what others do having to wait 5 min and a full ad just to hear the basics
I’m excited for the update because this is the first “real-time” section I’ve been able to play from the start. I started Genshin on December 31, 2023 and have play an entire year to catch up to the story. It has been an awesome journey! I’m “old” to be playing video games, but this one sucked me in and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it (except before I pulled Arlechinno and was struggling with EVERYTHING).
But, now that I’m finally starting to understand the artifact system, how to build characters, what rotations are, and how to figure them out I’m really enjoying the whole experience!
My excitement and overall motivation for Genshin has definitely dwindled due to how messy of a year it was for Genshin, especially when the Natlan ark started, even tho I loved the story, but it took me longer to get back to it to play the next stories.
And I also have a few opinion toward natlan as well
I remember leaks about mavuika riding bike 3 months ago was sus and funny, i wish they would stay sus, moment i saw chasca riding huge gun, i kinda lost interest, they overcooked and burned kitchen, it's not that fantasy world with magic and dragons what hooked me in 3 years ago sadly
Messy??? How has it been messy. Literally every thing has been fire
@@greenvega "magic and dragons" > Fights a walking automaton in mondstadt as a boss. Alright bro
@@greenvegait's never just magic and dragons? Even the dragon got a spaceship. What are your points exactly?
@@TheGamingTeam101Tgt101if you look at things outside of the game itself, it’s far from pretty.
Sure, I try to avoid the drama, but, just knowing how bad it’s been lately, it can be unmotivating.
And even besides drama, the game itself recently, I’m kinda loosing my touch on it, honestly, I loved natlan and many of the things and I think a lot is overhated, but even I felt a slight bit disappointed about natlan.
It’s something I can’t properly explain, and Im not trying to make you agree
Lantern rite quest looked more exciting that the archon quest - to me at least 😅
Lantern Rite is usually a fun patch, especially last year with the arrival of Chenyu Vale. I doubt it’ll be better than 4.4, however we have the finale of the Natlan Archon quest to compensate. That also means we’ll soon head to Schneznaya which i’m really looking foward to. While the Archon quest of the region itself is almost as awesome as Fontaine for me, Natlan itself isnt my favorite region to explore.
I kinda agree with you that Natlan seems not what I'm expecting to be like it's kinda niche as it flies by (that's why i skipped most of the Natlan 5 Stars). By the time Mavuika's banner releases, She will be my 1st Natlan 5 star. I just can't feel the hype and vibe of their kit tbh.
Also yes I do like this experimental content you've been trying and hopefully you do more of this.
Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year🎄
Story :
Fontaine act 1 > natlan act 1 > sumeru act 1
Natlan act 2 > Fontaine act 2 > sumeru act 2
Sumeru act 3 > Natlan act 3 >> Fontaine act 3
Natlan act 4>sumeru 4 > Fontaine 4
Exploration:
Natlan > sumeru > Fontaine
Characters (for now ):
Fontaine > sumeru > natlan
Music:
Sumeru = Fontaine = natlan = peak😊
Sumeru exloration was hell lol(esp without multilayer map) , Fontaine exploration felt like i was exploring Mondsthad again
Nice to see that some people still have good taste , i would rank all these the same way
Lol what ?
Fontaine and sumeru act 2 were infinitely better than natlan act 2 , natlan act 2 all have to it is the capitano vs mavuika fight
@@pinneqple_5060 i'm the opposite, fontaine has the worst exploration out of any region to me
Liking the Natlan characters the most personally so far.
i get the sensation that this video was made cause people have been hating on bran and others for calling this one of the best updates ever and to all those people insulting and talking shit about bran or anyone hyped, why do u care what others think? like genuently why is it such a crime to like different things, it feels like in the last half a year or so genshin has been getting more and more flack than ever and its just tiring, im just gonna casually enjoy the game screw the haters
obvs this also applies to people hating on others hyped for like wuwa 2.0 or any games, im personally super excited for 5.3 but if someone isnt thats completely fine too
And these kinds of videos are nice from time to time yeah, sometimes a hit of a more real upfront conversation can be good imo
I really don't mind Mauvika and her motorcycle, yes it feels quite out of place but if you play every quest (Archon and world quests) you will see how much Natlan is very advanced in technology (especially in the Age of the Dragons). So a motorcycle is kind make sens for me.
Hopefully the lantern rite will have voices, like cmon its the best event
Its probably the lantern rite that is missing them.
Well, considering the fact that the trailer was in everything but English, I doubt it so we'll have to switch dubs for a while. Hopefully by 5.4, everything will be back to normal. And Hoyo, it wouldn't hurt to make a replayability feature. Just a suggestion.
@@BriannaDrobot
The strike is hurting the immersion of the audience in long-term projects that you patch each month like gacha games.
Moreso than the union actors or the bargaining group the union is striking against, the strike is hurting us the audience/consumer.
Title: "What i REALLY think"
0 sec into the vid: "Im excited:
Alright, cool nice video man. Thought that was funny lol
i love when Doro44 fills me up with amazing content
In my opinion, it's gonna be good. If there is voiceless characters, I honestly won't be that excited. I saw the trailer, and our traveler is gonna be great. I think your opinion is valid, not loving it but being excited. Batman honestly feels to futureistic, I feel like it could be less vehicles and technology. But in general I like the update!
dude doro, i cant speak for everyone, but our household loves your content. your reaction videos to characters and things they say or do, are our favorite. nothing wrong with trying new content ideas and worst case scenario you just dont do that content type again. you cant always please everyone or their tastes. keep streaming and having fun no matter what you do bud!
Sadly, players have a hard time understanding that not every type of content added will match what they like to see or want to play. Genshin community is made up of many different people, and different people have different tastes. Just like not every character will match everyones taste, events and content added will also be either liked or disliked by different groups in the community. I personally like that they add a rhythm game, because I enjoyed playing them in the past. But there are also types of content I don't like. For example, I didn't like Xilonen as a character, and at some point in 5.1 I felt like Hoyo was trying to shove her down my throat with advertisement. But that's just how it is. Different players like and dislike different things. Just keep playing what you like and let other's play what they like. Be happy that Genshin has so many different things to offer and isn't just focusing on just one group of the community.
Also, I feel the same about the update. It's cool, but not amazing. In fact, I am most hyped about Echo Trail for Kazuha because I main him 😂
Agree about the Archon Quest. I remember before Fontaine's finale, people were theorizing for weeks on what was going to happen, and then the 4.2 trailer opened with Furina getting the death sentence. Everyone in the fandom was so shocked. There's nothing like that in Natlan. In a lot of ways, it feels like it's only getting started, because 5.0 spent most of its time introducing us to the tribes, and 5.1 finally got the full team together. I feel like 5.3 is finally going to get into the story I actually care about, but it's already at the end. I'm just not seeing the same level of hype, theorizing, and conversations leading up to Natlan's finale.
There's a lot of people speculating about Mavuika's death, Xbalanque's resurrection, the sacred flame going out (which was proven by the trailer), Capitano's goals and what the ignition teaser is even supposed to mean (since it hasn't had any correlation to the story yet)
Speculation and suspense isn't the problem, it's just that they've chosen to show and not tell (probably a little too much) which just means we don't have as much information as we did before the final acts of Sumeru and Fontaine.
@@idkatthispoint-s9s Fontaine had large scale stakes, but also the prophesy allowed for most of the Fontaine characters at that time to have personal motivations that could play off all the other characters for interpersonal drama.
Examples: Navia's arc was about wanting to protect Poisson and blaming Neuvillette for her father's death. Neuvillette was trying to protect Fontaine from the prophesy, but also avoid a political incident between Furina and Arlecchino, and Navia helps him learn to feel more human. The House of the Hearth were investigating Furina and helping the citizens. Wriothesley was building his Arc to save everyone. The large stakes were a way for these characters to have personal journeys and interesting drama with each other.
Natlan doesn't really have this. Asside from Mavuika and Capitano's dynamic with each other, everyone is basically friends with everyone else. Sure, some of the characters are insecure, but their friends will help them. The "goal" (stoping the Abyss) doesn't change most of the champions in any way. The reason they're helping is just because it's the right thing to do. The story is still good, but a step down for me.
IK THIS ISNT ABOUT THE VIDEO BUT YOU MENTIONED IT #JUSTICEFORFURINA we need a second character quest or a hang out or something with furina
Doro please make more of these pod cast videos. They’re so comforting to me and I play them in the BG while working 😭
7:50 I think I get the same feeling, but looks like its intencional on the way that Natlan will actually NOT be 100% complete with the archon quest and let me explain why:
With other regions, like fontaine for example, yeah we felt like a lot more was condenced on the 4.2 story. But AFTER that, the game enters a low period waiting for dainleiff quest and them summer to get some prelude for the next region. And I belive they took to heart that feedback and want to fill up a longer story for a region thats not condenced on 2-3 patches alone. Sure we get events with story but we dont really developt beyond in a permanent sence the lore of the region, like we wont get the academia competicion to develop more kaveh or we dont get rebound furina phase starting to become her own person, the fontaine expansions were their own thing that added lore but more about the past and not present-future of the región.
In NATLAN THO. We are told capitano story will unfold a little bit later. And whatever its it can very well be something that could affect the present or future of Natlan.
Imagine its like having a BIG breakfast with small bites of snacks the rest of the day. But this time its gonna be a decent normal breakfast but also a sandwich at afternoon and maybe some chicken for dinner. Spreading wider the " something happened to the main story" moments and not just waiting for the next cycle.
So let me make a out my ass roadmap for stories.
5.3 end of archon quest
5.4 final tribe/final for small guy quest with lore bomb
5.5 capitano big story moment that involves Natlan actually and not just him
5.6 dainleiff quest with lore of teyvat.
5.7 nord kai, a new pseudo region with a new experience to play with
5.8 summer event with prelude for next 6.0
With the excepción of the summer event all of above are permanent stuff added that would make natlan feel like the most busy region we have played when we look back and its not a self contain zone story and a time limited event story. (New map has both a self contain story but also a larger impactfull one with our small dino) Vs zones on fontaine that added to the lore but not really for the plot of fontaine since the flood was already over. After dealing with the abyss wich will be a constant front for story, we still will have capitano thats kaenriah for another open front of the story of our Journey. + Enough space to still add the time limited events with their stories + whatever zones they wanna add on top like Mare Javari. + If they want to expand on older regions like the port in modstadt or south sumeru or magic yokai island on Inazuma so we meet more yokai ( looking at the cow girl from character preview). Etc etc.
TDLR; I belive its a new angle to get more done with a wider range of the full patch cycle than just making a giant arcon quest and then not going 100% until next X.0 patch. So we dont really get " filler patches" so often. (5.2 imo is different because it lets you be ready to power up the tribes for a stronger pyro traveler/ sets the stage of the pyro dragón in the new zone / its the breathing room for the people who WILL be doing the WAR and then dont have to jump directly into direct abyss full assault with mavuika. It would be overkill making you go back to back act to act. Its the game telling you there can be a breathing room IF you want to naturally, if not just do the short quest like any other mid part in any region and continue full force ahead. )
Big disagree about the balloon. You have to conserve your energy, man. The stress/anxiety of the moment only works if you accept the reality that running from place to place would leave an actual person exhausted, but that's not really on the devs to convince you of that truth. Maybe they could've introduced a mechanic that let you run from place to place, but would actively apply a debuff, making you do less damage and fights take longer, but I doubt that would go over well either.
Yeah it's the player's fault for not liking the story and how it's presented and dragged out and one of the most anticipated "evil" character becomes our best buddy because he just cares about natlan more than the tseritsa orders he's just such a good boy. And we go through the "war" arc, and we solve it with the power of friendship. Tbh i was liking the sotry of genshin before but natlan just fucked everything up. It's badly written and dragged out.
@@rimuru_slime1634capitano is never depicted as EVIL. The fatui soldiers always remark him in a good light and even glazing him, they dont have such regards for Scara and Signo. Capitano has always been the good-hearted fellow, he's both idealistic and pragmatic kind of leader. He just happened to work for the "evil" organization, and him defending his "second" home isnt strange. He was rescued during his lowest, he felt grateful for the people of the nation, and he wanted to return the favor by saving them from another catastrope.
The Tsaritsa allowed her Harbingers some freedom to do what they wish as long as in the end she still got what she wanted is actually in character for her, perhaps, as a god of love, this is her last "love" for her "servants".
Thank you for telling us that you never paid attention to the narrative. The fatui are never depicted as bad but rather morally dubious because they're doing almost anything for their own aims. And capitano was literally alive during the pyro archons era so who are you to say that he doesn't care about the pyro archon @@rimuru_slime1634
@@Hie_Hyoumaki good point on capitano but that still doesn't change how he went from the most hyped opponent we we're gonna face to just our other buddy you know? And even if he is a good character still doesn't change the fact that natlan story is poorly presented
@Peter-sr8gv im sorry to critique you're 5 billion dollar company's story, its mid at best i enjoyed fontain and sumeru but not natlan, and every harbinger we met so far except childe so far has been evil so how dare i assume this guy is evil too? So sorry.
I mean yeah this is probably going to be my favorite non-map expansion patch for 5.x. so many good stories coming in 1 patch with 4 new characters 2 of them free (traveler and lan yan) and the stories are also conclusion to the archon quest with an archon main story and the end to the masters of the nightwind questline too so the only quests for tribes we'll have left is the collective of plenty which seems to be coming next update if they go in order of the characters in the preview.
Natlan archon quest might be underwhelming but man Natlan world quests is very interesting like storytelling alone make it enjoyable and I enjoyed exploring Natlan a lot because there's a chance I might die if I mindlessly explore it unlike on previous region where there's very little to no risk to explore it.
Genshin Impact 5.3 looks amazing! Can't wait to explore the new features and events. Who else is hyped?"
Having played Honkai Impact 3rd there is a version of Bronya that fights with giant drill hands that turn into a motorcycle as you fight. So im used to Hoyoverse doing wild and whacky things with their designs. And to be honest im all for it. I dont dislike a single thing about the bike for Mavuika. And im happy they are adding new different design directions, every nation has felt like something new. I hope they continue to add more and more cool concepts. You can argue immersion but this is an anime game that already has a lot of high concept magic and tech.
Absolutely stoked about this update, two of my favourite characters will be on banners and my excitement for the story is at its peak. The world quest is absolutely amazing compared to going through fontaines. I love this new video format too
Hi Doro! I appreciate this style of video, 'cause it gives you the chance to go deeper into a given subject without the overstimulation of a Twitch chat goin' berserk or a live feed to watch AND comment on simultaineously. I agree on pretty much everything you said about the last update and, for what it matters, I will pull for my favourite drunken granny (also 'cause I have few cryo characters) since I can appreciate how HOT is Mavuika but I found myself more confused than excited about her gameplay. I'm a fairly new GI FTP player and every primo is a tresure I'm not willing to bet on someone who doesen't make me go "shut up and take my primo!" on fist sight.
I wish you and Auty a happy Christmas and, in true GI fanbase style, I'm gonna sign out by complaining... GIMME WRIOTHESLEY!!!!
In terms of AQ, it is very hard to top Fontaine. There wasn’t as much of blades clashing as other nations, but they played off the whole “nation of justice” very well. And the whole plot twist with Furina/Focalors was so good! Also the final Focalors cutscene is always a tear jerker. The sound track for this cutscene is still my favourite to this day too ❤
Natlan is also really good and the music is top tier especially the ode of resurrection. And of course the new exploration mechanics for the new characters is a game changer.
Me when seeing the thumbnail: DORO WDYM
Doro: I’m excited!
Me: you scared the **** out of me.
hehe
@ NOT HEHE DORO 😔
I love how nice the background is 😍
bro you look awesome today thanks for the videos
I love Mavuika and her bike, and the character inspirations that she takes from. She's a combination of a bunch of tropes that I grew up with and love (Jean Grey, Goku, Dante, Kamen Rider Ryuki) and I think her kit is an absolute banger to play.
I also hope the Pyro Traveler will be good, although I think the Getsuga Tenshos he throws in the dragon fight are a domain mechanic rather than part of his kit (I could be wrong, but I'm getting major boss fight gimmick vibes).
Also, I hope the new characters will be bangers. And although the majority of predictions for the last silhouette will be Fontainian, I personally wish she would be our first look into Snezhnaya instead, since they're trickling it in already with Nod-Krai.
Overall, 2025 will be lit, and I'm excited for it (with tempered expectations, as should be 😅).
Thank you for mirroring my own opinions about the playerbase reaction. Coming from different gaming communities across different genres, I can say that the gaming space nowadays is filled with a new kind of toxicity where people will find the most asinine things to be upset about, and I find it pretty stupid (for lack of a better term). People need to learn to just have fun again, and not think too much about nitpicking every little thing for the sake of nitpicking.
I started the game just this year, and I love your content and the positivity you try to propagate. Looking forward to another year of amazing stuff. 🎉
13:30 To be fair, genshin always do things half heartedly/half baked when it comes to endgame content related stuffs. Imaginarium theatre is just abyss with tons of restriction. Hoyo can make banger content like hollow zero and more, but in genshin they always seems to miss it.
Honestly this patch will be quite stacked! We have the Natlan finale in the first phase and the Lantern Rite in the second. I just watched CatWithBlueHat's Genshin 2024 Rewind video and I got such a nostalgia trip with what happened last year, so I'm expecting both quests to be fire.
I've personally loved the Natlan archon quests so far. I disagree with comparing them to Fontaine and Sumeru. Those are completed and Natlan isn't and I also think that you might be looking at them with a bit of rose tinted glasses. Not that much more happened in those regions for the first 4 acts. 3/4 of two quests in Fontaine was just us doing essentially nothing in prison :D I mean we're fighting the abyss here (and not the order, the actual abyss itself). If Natlan falls the entirety of Teyvat is doomed.
What do you mean by banner's lasting longer? The banners are 20 days long which I'm pretty sure is standard.
Yeah, if Hoyo gave us 5 free 5 stars people will be like: "That's not fair, I had to bust my ass off and grind to get all my characters, but new players are gonna be able to get them without doing anything?!"
I enjoy watching these videos because I enjoy genshin. Sadly, I don’t have the time to play it, so seeing others play it makes me happy. I’ve always been an explorer and I’m super into storylines, but I hate having to level up so much. I wish genshin would add some sort of adventure mode so people don’t have to do all the extra things or have to grind so much
The thing thats really bothering and ruining Natlan for me is that I dont want to do the archon quest with voices missing but then the game is also forcing me with fomo to play it if I want to keep up so now I'm going into 5.3 with the thought that I'm going to experience a worse story than it should've been and that kills my excitement.
seeing the storyline so far i doubt its gonna be any worse than inazuma. most of the problem comes from the height of fontaine since that story was so good. so if im assuming youre new, you dont hv to worry abt being disappointed.
My entire thing about the “immersion” is people never stopped to realize every nation is in a time period that’s radically different that shouldn’t make sense with each other. Natlan is only sucker punching so many people because it’s a time period most of us lived in. It’s like if historical tribes lived in the early 2000’s
Fontaine is a time period piece of France but with steampunk futuristic robots. Players accept that easier because both concepts are distant from how we live now so it doesn’t seem as weird.
as a new F2P account i gratefully accept more diversity in my teams especially 5 star characters. But i've been wanting Shenhe since the liyue archon quests ❤️
I love the kind of video from you even though GI video is my favorite.
To be honest i am getting bored to play GI but after last special program I am getting excited for the story and some silhouette of new characters.
The Tree in the background looks so beautiful🎉
Yeah I’m happy with the update and I agree with you that people will find a reason to complain regardless of the situation!
I absolutely love the update mainly bc this is my first region to experience as I never experienced fontaine sumeru inazuma and ect so personally I do love this update and I will enjoy it btw doro I hope you can do more of these opinion videos ❤
I like these kind of videos for sure! While I disagree somewhat on the take about Natlans story, I do sympathize with your reasoning because Fontaine and Sumerus archon quests were just so top tier. I think this next update will be really good imo. (also I feel like the odd one out when everyone says they dont like mavuikas motorcycle, I actually like really love it)
One thing about Mavuikas motorcycle is that I wished it looked more like the old dragons tech more, or like something similar to the 'vehicles' in BOTW. I kinda wanna draw it...
im so excited for chronicled wish though, we finally getting characters that we waited for so long, Im seriously thinking of skipping the banners just to get Xiao and Shenhe. Because Mavuika will rerun again but these characters....🥲Also love THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS, GREAT WORK!!!!
I will pull for both and I’m so excited!!!
Personally I am very much excited for the update. Basically just wanted two things from Natlan. Those being an abuela character and a flying serpent looking boss. Originally was expecting maybe an abuela who's an npc, but instead we get a playable character with Citlali. Absolutely pulling for her. And for a flying serpent boss, man did Hoyoverse deliver. Big fan of them having it be Xiuhcoatl, so cool to see.
Happy holidays y'all!!
I adore these kinds of videos, it's good to get a recap as well as your final thoughts VS. what you said and essentially had to rush and push out the initial reaction to the livestream. I'm super excited for 5.3 too even though the archon quest has been a bit up and down for me as well, because I love it when the stakes are high. Even though someone is definitely probably going to die in this next patch, I just don't feel the absolute dread and terror and uncertainty I felt when playing through Fontaine. All in all though, I am still excited nonetheless.
Natlan does feel a bit out-there in my opinion as well, but I also just think the characters' gameplay and kits have been super fun and breathed new life into the game as well. Maining Kinich is by far the most fun I've had out of Natlan tbh, if not the entire game (I'm super late to the party though cause I've only been playing since 4.6)
I am super excited for the permanent music event too and I'm really glad they're capitalizing on how well made their music is.
OH AND CAN THEY PLEASE FREE WRIOTHESLEY he's the entire reason I got into this game and I still don't have him because he never came back LMAO
I feel like the main fontaine story ended with 4.2 and what came after was just continuation until Natlan. It was with this patch the main story kinda concluded.
With Natlan, we have not reached that point yet, since its cpnclusion will be in 5.3. Comparing a complete story to an incomplete one seems weird. It's not like Fontaine's story was that great until 4.2---which is probably the strongest Genshin has ever put out.
Rremember how last year he almost forgot to claim his primogems from lantern rite in 4.4
I thought i was the only one tbh, i also felt like when 4.2 trailer came out it was so crazy, i was so shocked when it says furina is gonna be sentenced to death.
But 5.3 felt like all the problems are done, probably because we finished the war. The eternal flame going out is quite something but not exactly that crazy either
For the motorcycle i honestly dont mind. Its quite acceptable imo
Tbh Natlan is the best nation up there so far for me, tied with Inazuma. As its more action based rather than fetch quests.
In regards to the technology thing, umm
- liyue has adeptus arts that make incredible machines
- inazuma had the reactor thing
- summeru had the Akashas(headset stuff)
- fontaine were manufacturing Mechs powered by pneuma/ousia. Also they had blimps and the ferry
Natlan is done well imo, simply bcuz they aretrying to blend tradition with the future. Especially considering that Phologiston is basically a minable Raw elemental energy source
DORO POSTED A VIDEO LET’S GO🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🦅
Been playing genshin for more than a year... ZZZ just feels so much better. It's crazy
Mavuika's design and her bike is so cool I'm gonna pull for her no matter how she's meta wise. She's so cool I don't even care.
It's insane! My hype for the 2nd half of Natlan can not be put into words.
Also share the exact same thoughts about Mavuika and her ride. Let's see if it's acceptable cooking.
When it comes to Shenhe I'm quite mad actually, waited almost 2 years and I don't even get to have or save pity, guaranteed or Stellar Reunion. Giant Scam especially because they are now going back on the Rules they set for themselves. Everyone wanting Shenhe now has to pull on a whole nother banner even though she only had 1 rerun.
HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS DORO AND AUTY🎄🎉
Id love more of these type of opinion videos cuz i haven’t seen/been too lazy to watch the whole 1hr livestream especially in chinese
I do agree with the fact that Natlan's Archon Quest has been short and so all over the place. It's felt more disjointed than any other Archon quest. 5.0 we all remember people criticising Natlan for being a nation of war with no war, and that was hugely improved on with 5.1 but then 5.2 came out with an interlude which didn't help. Another thing I've realised is there is no connection between the traveler and the Natlan crew - should Mauvika or Capitano die in 5.3, I don't think I would cry for these characters because there is a lack of connection. I don't know if that makes sense and someone will tell me otherwise but those are my thoughts. Thank you for the video Doro
I like these types of videos since i don’t usually get to watch you stream. Update seems great and ill be able to level up citlali to 90 faster with the boss respawning. Happy to see my goat arlecchino on her rerun! Crossing my fingers ill get her to c2! Also that dragon looks sicks cant wait to fight it with arlecchino!
first n foremost, i love these type of videos. its nice to have a calm, no hype involved, talk about the different opinions.
now, on a different note, ive said this before but "wer arcs" r one of the most difficult things to write in any form of media. its too many things happening at the same time, on a global scale. in that sense, if i were to compare it with inazuma war (ik, ik it was a civil war, less bigger in scale) this was excecuted WAY better.
as for the story, the one thing that annoys me, is that everyone seems to pretend that act 3 of fontaine never happened. the stakes could have been higher on the overall arc, but act 3 was an absolute waste of time. half of it could have easily been removed, while the remaining bit was integrated into act 4 beginning, and it is only there cuz hyv wanted to stick to their new formula of 5 acts.
so while yeh, it may have some of the highest points, it also has some of the lowests points in terms of storytelling.
following the same line of thought, natlan acts seemes more like building something one block at a time. from the individual (kachina struggles with ancient name n mualani becoming a namebearer n learning the truth behind ancient names) to the global (the actual war n what a war emcompasses) and hopefully, to the individual again in 5.3 with a much more intimate combat against the bbeg vs just traveller n mavuika (that said, this last part is yet to be seen, we will see if it gets executed properly)
i will give u that the interlude quest could have just as easily been the intro to act 5 or an epilogue to act 4 (which obvs wasnt done cuz it involved a new region that wasnt in thegame at that point in time) since it was like a 30 mins short quest.
also, i apologize for the wall of text
Saved up 200 fates and still counting for Citlali since Nahida banner.
honestly, I'm just happy I finally get to know if mavuika lives(I'm fairly certain she will. but there is still a chance she won't, but that would make it how they couldn't rerun her and that makes hoyo lose money so I doubt it)
I personally LOVE the rhythm game and wished it was permanent or had more of it. I voiced it heavily when we had one of those surveys in game... so it might be my fault. Sorry guys. 😂😂
I largely agree with most of your opinions. I'm most excited for Citlali and Lanyan, definitely pull Citlali and choosing Lanyan for my free 4 star. I'll probably pull on Arlecchino's banner to try and get some constellations for Lan Yan as I was already having Arlecchino on my pull list, just... not this early xD but if I were to pull for Arle, this would probably be one of the best banners to do so on.
Im actually mostly excited for Pyro Traveller but when they mention the skill he used works only in the Boss Domain I already have a bad feeling about his kit.
I hope that after he gets all 7 elements Hoyo decides to change his kit for each element (of course the chances of that happening is 1%)
I like these videos a lot ^^ Thank you so much and have a beautiful holiday ♡
I dont really care what the activities are. I'd sit and watch a clock count down for 3 minutes as long as I got primos at the end 😅
A second look after some reflection is a good idea. The banners are gonna be expensive.
I’m really excited for this update Mavuika’s motorcycle surprised me the first time I saw it but I’m glad it did I find her attacks really cool both claymore and motorcycle I can’t wait to do donuts on the bike when using her. This is going to be my first lantern rite and all the events look really fun and someone who likes both rhythm games and the genshin music I can’t wait for the permanent music gamemode. Overall can’t wait definitely a patch that’s going to be really good.
2:41 i feel like at this point (eg. 5.3/4.3/etc) there were indeed higher stakes AND a lot more going on so it felt like a lot and was hard to process. maybe they’re trying to make Nathan easier to process but still feel like a lot?
2:24 I 100% agree with you on that, it does feel like that.
I agreed. Sumeru and Fontaine are PEAK for me and then Nathlan. Nathlan is Not bad, just i more favorite 2 regions before it. But I still love the Story in Nathlan, so those are my top 3. This is just my personal opinion.. but I am glad i still enjoy playing the game.. and makes me look forward to the next story..
Jade Cutter let's go! My C3 Qiqi will finally be the DPS I want her to be!
Imma be honest, I enjoy your takes. I like these vids 👍
