I think both of these is just proof of Focalors being the mastermind behind everything going on. I think she had a big brain moment way in the past and now it's all coming to the finale
I think this might be one of my favourite character demos of all time. I especially like the detail where she pretends to be/acts as the other archons as she swings on the swing (by the color of the light, and the outfits of the audience members)
Navia being Signora and Neuvillette being Venti in Mondstadt quest Childe being the traveler and the melusines as the guards in liyue quest Lyney being Nahida in a cage in the sumeru quest And Freminet.. probably being Furina
I really love how Furina imitates archons in her demo (5:18) Swinging like Nahida Having a lyre like Venti Sitting like Raiden And throwing mora as Zhongli
The part at the end of her demo is so good, there's all these small things like Childe flying across the screen to drop kick a guy, Neuvillette kneeing someone in the balls??? Lyney and Lynette beating up that poor man on the floor. Its so goofy I love it. Massive tonal whiplash between these two trailers its great.
a lot of people notice Furina imitating the Archons as she swings, but I've seen a few others point out that the seemingly random "movie clips" that Furina waltzes through actually imitate different parts of the previous archon quests. Childe chased by the melusine - Childe and Traveller being chased by the Milleleth Neuvillette being arrested by Navia - Signora when she was taking Venti's gnosis Chlorinde facing off Wriothesley - the duel at the Tenshukaku Lyney trapped inside the water cage - Nahida trapped in the Sanctuary of Surasthana and right after that is Furina trying to get Freminet's helmet off his head. We never see his face, only Furina, the helmet, and water. Which directly parallels what we know so far from the 4.2 Archon Quest trailer. personally thinking, a very strange thing to include in a character demo, almost as if HoYo is hinting that Furina is well aware about the events occurring in other nations.
well we do know she has a spy network from the beginning of the AQ! tbh i’m v confused about the scope of her knowledge in general and this demo does not help😭i still feel like furina as we know her doesn’t have the full picture of her own plan but i suspect she does know more than she lets on. “the best guise is when you believe your own lies” and all that.
Song at the end : Original lyrics : Le monde n’est qu’une scène Il vaut mieux rire qu’en pleurer, car le rire est le propre de l’homme Riez de tout cela, ne vous inquiétez pas. Profitons d’aujourd’hui Translation : All the world’s a stage It’s better to laugh than cry Because to laugh is proper to the man Laugh at it all, do not worry. Let’s enjoy today And fun fact “rire est le propre de l’homme” / “ To laugh is proper to the man” is a quote from Rabelais !
It's wild how we went from ominous teaser to chaotic fever dream demo. 😂 Also a few details I liked: - I like the mirror part at the start. The first few parts of the teaser, Furina is "flipped"; you could see that her multicolored eyes are switched. Like she's talking to a mirror or lens. (Until the mirror break part where she gets the dog's monocle.) - Furina referenced the other four Archons in her demo. ❤ - I might be overthinking it, but there's no audience at the end of her demo performance... There's no applause in the end... Just her and her water friends. :(
@@africkinintrovert4041 maybe because this demo will most likely be seen by new players or players not yet in Fontaine, so they tried to keep it as neutral/relatively spoiler free? But then the teaser... Idk lol
@@edelgard4486 Both the vision hunt decree and the prophecy are introductory parts to the regions anyway (like the most basic things about the regions that we're introduced to), so I think it's fine? Fontaine being flooded, even if it's misleading, will still feel spoilery.
@@jyll i mean u were talking abt new players seeing the demo so they in turn would also not know what the vision hunt decree is, meaning my point still stands
Imagine Furina ascends to divinite with the title of God of Theatre and Art? She will be BFF with Venti: The Goddess of Theatre and Arts 🤝The God of Musics and Poems
since all should be traveler so "Clorinde & Wriothesley" I took it as traveler vs signora in front of raiden shogun "Navia & Neuvillete" also similair to Thoma being capture in inazuma right before traveler battle with Ei for the first time also freminet part was perhaps caribert ? as for portraying taking off the mask.
@@deldalusmy interpretation of the freminet part is that he's using the helmet to hide away from the world like how Ei hid within the puppet, which is why Furina struggles to pull the helmet off
Focalors was way beyond anything they've made. And if anything this I think cements my confidence in the music team after Yu Peng Chen. Like yeah he was a god of music, but it does seem to turn out that they have quite a bunch of music gods among them, and a very clear and wonderful music direction for the game.
Hoyomix had been great way before YPC joined in. He and his previous teammates joined together were just a nice addition to already established Hoyomix by Cai Jinhan. Don’t forget about that

Guys, I just noticed. When Furina is showing herself to the public her vision is replaced with a gemstone and when she is alone, her vision is visible. It might imply that she'll still hide some stuff after the 4.2 Archon quest & maybe also her story quest to the public. You might debunk it to when Chlorinde was by her side when she was fighting but if you look closely, Her fight scenes is a different scene to when she was with Chlorinde. She was wearing a gemstone when she was with Chlorinde and When she's not with her she makes the vision visible when fighting alone. This is only a theory so please kindly reply to me to share your opinion on the matter not throw shade.
Aside from what everyone said about the swing representing the archons and the regions, or how the scenes of reversed rolls represents the archon quests, but theres also a bit of a haunting undertone in the Demo which is really subtle that someone pointed out where at the end, when the play ends and the curtain closed, there was no cheers or claps, which may hint about something.
I saw a comment on her demo saying that each scene on the swing represents an archon. First Nahida where she swings childlike Then Mondstadt with the lyre Inazuma when she meditates Liyue when she throws mora
I love the contrast between the demo and the teaser, emotionally they can't be more different. To be fair I will play the Archon quest as soon as it drops just to know what happen with this Queen
I noticed that Furina was her "Focalor-like" self for the majority of the teaser, where her mouth wasn't even moving. Until the very end, when you notice her outfit colour changes and her hair is short, and she's alone, not on a stage, but thinking to herself.
Haven't finished video yet but Furina's bit at the end of her teaser about "only fate" just pinged something in my brain that Moon Carver said way back when he was sending us off to find the other Adepti during the Liyue archon quest where he says that "only fate" would determine if we'd find them or something to that effect. Now I want to know how intentional the use of that verbage was way back then!
6:07 She's not reversing the roles, she's reenacting our first meeting with Childe when we're running away, Venti and Signora being played by Neuvillette and Navia, Lynney playing as Nahida, and WrioRinde as Ei vs Shogun
Funny is there no audience sound or even cheers at the end. so this could be Furina performing alone on the stage or the whole thing is her imagination since we know it cant be true. oh my suddenly i feel sad for her if this is true
The music when the cameras start going off (right before/during the "movie clips") made me think of Donkey Kong's music from like N64 days 😭 really loved her demo
WOOOOOO IM GLAD YOU'VE POSTED THIS CAUSE THIS GOTTA BE MY FAVORITE DEMO EVER!! It's so lively and fun and the music is my cup of tea 🤭 The fact that everyone was in it too was super cute.
Hands down this is the best demo they've put out, they're really showing off how fun Furina is as a character which I adore. Especially the detail of jer rigging rock paper scissors with Mademoiselle Crabaletta, the crab getting pissed was so funny
I looove the French lyrics part (translation ⬇️) "Le monde n'est qu'une scène. Il vaut mieux rire que pleurer, Car le rire est le propre de l'homme. Riez de tout cela, ne vous inquiétez pas. Profitons d'aujourd'hui." In English : "The world is but a stage. Why cry, when you can laugh instead? For laughter is humanity's preserve. Laugh it all off, fret not, Let's just enjoy the moment."
Deceive fate itself she said?... That's similar to what Okabe Rintaro said (from Stein's;Gate): Deceive yourself. Deceive the world. damn so cool lines man... 😐👌
What I love about Furina is that everything about her represents duality. Hell, her entire demo exhibits duality. The characters act the opposite of the parts that they _should_ play; Neuv who is a judge now becomes a criminal, Clorinde is the one protected by Furina instead of the other way around, Lyney’s the assistant while Lynette’s the great magician, etc. Also, she constantly switches from her ousia and pneuma form; her pneuma form is when she’s posing for the cameras playing this “facade” while her ousia form is when she’s just being herself and genuinely living her life.
I just noticed that the part when Furina is on the swing the color changes in the background to match the colors of thecurrent archons that we’ve met 😂
I have never been more excited about a character more than Furina. I'm going for C6 R5 with almost 900 fates and will have spent over 1000 fates by the end of her banner. If i dont get her to C6 R5 by the time her banner goes away I'll skip every banner till her rerun just to get her to C6 R5
This really felt more like a prophecy. It’s as if Furina saw everything that was going to happen. I mean how did she know about the more private events in other nations happened? Maybe Lyney WAS supposed to be the one to get crushed? Maybe it only looks like Furina does nothing, because she already influenced change before the events happened? And she’s only been acting this whole time?
idk if somebody already said this but i just realized something: short hair/black vest furina is not interchangeable with long hair/white vest furina. - in the teaser, she's in white and "speaking" to us directly up until the last scene with her crying (...performing for "fate?") as her voice grows fainter. - in the demo, she's in black, performing in front of the camera, until that jazzy transition halfway through. after that she's in white directing. - the thing i find most confusing about this is that short hair/black vest furina seems to fit more with the side of her we know than long hair/white vest furina...
A few things interesting about the demo is that reversed for the characters throughout the demo and the second half are supposed to represent the various moments in the various archon quest to date that has fatui involvement. Childe normally would fight rather than flee. (Is supposed to be our escape from in Liyue when Zhongli showed up "dead" when Childe helped us escape) Neuvillette who is the judge is getting arrested by Navia who is like a mafia boss. (representing Signora stealing Venti's gnosis) Lyney is in the water tank rather than Lynette. (Representing Nahida's self isolation after being cornered by Dattore) And Clorinde vs Wriothesley are friends having a fight (is Signora fighting before the throne with us, with Furina in the background being Raiden) (Another role reversal is in the beginning when Furina, being as weak as she is, is stepping up to fight for Clorinde. So given all these facts, I wonder what we can gather from the remaining parts. We see Freminet drowning from his diving helmet (again reverse) with Furina removing the helmet, and this is seemingly supposed to represent the events of Fontaine. (And given the previous moments, also an interaction with the Fatui) Another interesting part is the finale with the cast beating the NPCs up. Given who each characters are supposed to represent previously, I wonder if it is perhaps also foreshadowing for things to come? I love this demo since its all in good fun, but can actually go several layers deep if we try digging a bit.
The film panel with childe chased by melusine and all was a reference to archon quest! Like neuvillette that's from monstadt archon quest. When signora take venti's gnosis 🤣 Such a good details
The juxtaposition of tones is so fun, we have the Actor Furina where everyone is her actor in the show she puts on. And then we have Furina the member of the cast, trying to deceive the fate of the prophecy.
I just realized but the lyrics at the end are in FRENCH I think they says something like "Ne vous inquiétez pas et profitons d'aujourd'hui" which is like "don't worry and let's enjoy the day"
i just notice even the Gems in Furina neck is little bit different from the white outfit and black outfit, feels like they are really different person, that's interesting
The teaser may be worth re-watching now after the Archon Quest. I think it makes a lot more sense now, but only if it's not Furina in the teaser, but Focalors (looking like Furina before splitting her divinity). It aligns with her initial lines about thinking at the bottom of the ocean and realising there was only 1 possible solution to deceive the Heavenly Principles (fate itself).
Yo bran, see if you can pinpoint some important events from our past adventures in Furina's demo and how Fontainians acted them out for her lmao. Also, the other archons too. Lol her demo was so fun! But the Trailer is a lore dump wow!
I think there's story implications in the demo as well, they're just more subtle. Seems to really be suggesting that everything we're seeing in Fontaine is one big performance (by hydro eidolons is my guess, like the bottleland event)
My favourite part is 6:37 where you can see Childe absolutely FLY through the air in the background as he drop kicks someone, it has me in stitches every time
I’d say that the Teaser is showing the idea of role that furina will be playing whereas the demo just shows her personality overall Also a fun thing I noticed that not too many people are noticing is that when she’s swinging around on a swing, the lighting and the audience changes to reflect the nation she is “performing for” like Purple for inazuma, Green for Sumeru, Amber for Liyue, etc. Thats such an awesome touch
I saw someone in the comments of the demo trailer say this -- The camera bit with child being chased is the bit where child is getting chased by the millieth in Liyure The bit with Neuvillette is meant to resemble Venti getting his gnosis stolen by Signora The bit with Lyney in the tank is meant to be Nahida in her cage in Sumeru The bit with her taking the helmat of the guy is meant to be Eli and her puppet Rainden Shogun The bit with Chlorade and Wriothlesy in a stare down at each other is The traveler about to fight Signora or Eli/Rainden Shogun Dont no if thats what was they indeed was going for or if that guy who said this comment was right or not but thought id just put it here
Genshin story quests and the teasers + demos are getting better and better. I'm sooo gonna pull for my angel Furina! I may be broke (in Genshin) and I don't know If I win the 50/50 but I MUST have her!
I've never been more confused emotionally watching these but I like it
ur so real for that but i know that i’m really excited to see more of furinas story
This is AMAZING. But why am I Crying? 😭
4:21 - furina "Let me cook clorinde" proceed to beat up defenseless animal
I think both of these is just proof of Focalors being the mastermind behind everything going on. I think she had a big brain moment way in the past and now it's all coming to the finale
@@ALL_FOR_NOTHING_she deliberately missed the seal tho?
I think this might be one of my favourite character demos of all time. I especially like the detail where she pretends to be/acts as the other archons as she swings on the swing (by the color of the light, and the outfits of the audience members)
when she went as zhongli at the end, throwing the mora at them, i love her! lol
its such a shame but wouldve been cool if they could tease us about pyro and cyro archon's through her as well xD
@@alethwynah so that's where all his mora went
Navia being Signora and Neuvillette being Venti in Mondstadt quest
Childe being the traveler and the melusines as the guards in liyue quest
Lyney being Nahida in a cage in the sumeru quest
And Freminet.. probably being Furina
Neat detail that I missed first time around, but you can hear the character switching sound every time she goes off screen during that scene
I really love how Furina imitates archons in her demo (5:18)
Swinging like Nahida
Having a lyre like Venti
Sitting like Raiden
And throwing mora as Zhongli
the crowd changes as well
Ahh i don't notice that, good point
The crowd and the background change for the color of the elements of the respective archon
which makes me confused about where the turn is to imitate the archon, the order doesn't match the plot which should be zhongli first then venti
yet zhongli is mora-less xd irony
Furina's teaser : ☹️
Furina's demo : 💃
Really shows her two sides, huh?
The part at the end of her demo is so good, there's all these small things like Childe flying across the screen to drop kick a guy, Neuvillette kneeing someone in the balls??? Lyney and Lynette beating up that poor man on the floor. Its so goofy I love it. Massive tonal whiplash between these two trailers its great.
you forgot Clorinde flicking off Navia
The trailers are basically comedy and tragedy, the two classics of theater.
So many funny Screenshots
@@upguess5360 really? They look like they having slap contest
Freminet delivering a left hook to the guy in the background. Oh, and Lynette's teacup flying during Furina's run
a lot of people notice Furina imitating the Archons as she swings, but I've seen a few others point out that the seemingly random "movie clips" that Furina waltzes through actually imitate different parts of the previous archon quests.
Childe chased by the melusine - Childe and Traveller being chased by the Milleleth
Neuvillette being arrested by Navia - Signora when she was taking Venti's gnosis
Chlorinde facing off Wriothesley - the duel at the Tenshukaku
Lyney trapped inside the water cage - Nahida trapped in the Sanctuary of Surasthana
and right after that is Furina trying to get Freminet's helmet off his head. We never see his face, only Furina, the helmet, and water. Which directly parallels what we know so far from the 4.2 Archon Quest trailer.
personally thinking, a very strange thing to include in a character demo, almost as if HoYo is hinting that Furina is well aware about the events occurring in other nations.
The bit with Freminets helmat i think was meant to be Eli and her puppet Rainden Shogun some how
well we do know she has a spy network from the beginning of the AQ!
tbh i’m v confused about the scope of her knowledge in general and this demo does not help😭i still feel like furina as we know her doesn’t have the full picture of her own plan but i suspect she does know more than she lets on. “the best guise is when you believe your own lies” and all that.
@@astronought_ i wouldnt be suprised if her plan was place hope on the travler to save fontain like we have the other nations in time for crisis
I love her even more now!
Furina imitating the other Archons while swinging is such a mood😆
And after the for, she make another, throwing her hat, symbolizing her

We need a Venti and Furina duet performance now. Music and theatre arts
Imagine Furina ascends to divinite with the title of God of Theatre and Art? She will be BFF with Venti: The Goddess of Theatre and Arts 🤝The God of Musics and Poems
5:55 From here all these scenes are all Archon Quests acted by them.
Childe w/ Melusines = Liyue Archon Quest (Traveler chased by liyue soldiers)
Navia & Neuvillete = Monstadt Archon Quest (About to snatch Venti's Gnosis)
Lyney & Lynette = Sumeru Archon Quest (Traveler swap to Nahida's consciousness)
Clorinde & Wriothesley = Inazuma Archon Quest (Battle before the throne)
Freminet = 4.2 Fontaine Archon Quest. (We'll see)
since all should be traveler so "Clorinde & Wriothesley" I took it as traveler vs signora in front of raiden shogun
"Navia & Neuvillete" also similair to Thoma being capture in inazuma right before traveler battle with Ei for the first time
also freminet part was perhaps caribert ? as for portraying taking off the mask.
@@deldalusor a certain other event that happened in france to the royalty

Among the Archons that appeared, Furina impressed me with her cuteness and dynamism, I love this aspect of her
That was such an awesome demo! I like how they made everyone’s fighting at the end of the demo.
As a french people, the fact that the lyrics of the song at the end of the demo were in french is just so cool !

Furina demo trailer : 🌝

I keep repeating the vocal part of the music IT WAS SO GOOD! Gonna learn how to sing it.
Hoyo I NEED a duet between furina and venti. PLEASE.
Watching Furina Demo right after the Teaser is the biggest mood change
5:45 "Maybe she is an oceanid!"
she’s so unique from the other archons in a good way. like a very good way
Raiden’s, Nahida’s and now Furina’s teasers are truly amazing. They are all so sad and meaningful. And they also have the 3 best demo’s IMO.
I saw a comment on her demo saying that each scene on the swing represents an archon.
First Nahida where she swings childlike
Then Mondstadt with the lyre
Inazuma when she meditates
Liyue when she throws mora
First song with lyrics video in Genshin Impact?! :O Hopefully there's more in the future, because I love songs. ^w^
Honestly these might be my favorite demo and teaser both have such a different vibe from what we're used to.
I can't wait for 4.2 Archon quest.
First time I really want a 5⭐️ weapon, Furina needs it for her show 💪
Yeah same. But I'm torn because I also want to C2 my Raiden. :D

We can agree the one part where she runs through chaos is chaotic in itself
Bran you are one of my favourite streamer! Keep up with your amazing work!!! 🔥
I just noticed that the part when Furina is on the swing the color changes in the background to match the colors of thecurrent archons that we’ve met 😂
I'm certain that i kept Twitch open all day, yet I miss you recording this XD
“ And you, are the only on I have left”
This voice line actually made me cry 😢
I saw someone pointed out that Seymour is the only mecha who is water proof thats why she remains with robo dog
The final moment of her demo where chaos itself is manifested solidified why she is the best archon. EVER.
Easily one of the best Demos, but I'm now so scared of what they're gonna do to my heart in Act 5 LOL
Oh, hello Bran, I've missed your teaser and demo reactions!
Hey Bran, you are awesome, and I enjoy watching your videos! 😊😉 I am so excited for 4.2 in less than 1 hour!
Just noticed that npcs change clothes to the ones of their nation each time Furina changes Archon.
The teaser and the demo are literal polar opposite, it reminds me of the Barbenheimer meme a while ago for some reason.
Tartaglia alpha launching kick 6:36
I love the jazz music backing her at the end
Yooo already 189k subs? Wow dude feels like yesterday when u passed 100k subs. Congratulations. Hopefully 200k before the end of the year
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think she is the first character to have a VOCAL demo.
that childe's drop kick is my favorite one
I'm calling it right now. Bran IS Neuvilette. He immediately smiled the moment he saw a melusine.
The moment the vocals start hit different.
I have never been more excited about a character more than Furina. I'm going for C6 R5 with almost 900 fates and will have spent over 1000 fates by the end of her banner. If i dont get her to C6 R5 by the time her banner goes away I'll skip every banner till her rerun just to get her to C6 R5
I know its late but, goodluck on your pulls, I hope you get her to c6 r5
@@Skyrem22 I got her to C6 R5 within the first hour of her banner lol
@@Cr1msonval3 Wow congrats!
@@Cr1msonval3ur so preppy for that 🎉
This really felt more like a prophecy. It’s as if Furina saw everything that was going to happen.
I mean how did she know about the more private events in other nations happened?
Maybe Lyney WAS supposed to be the one to get crushed?
Maybe it only looks like Furina does nothing, because she already influenced change before the events happened? And she’s only been acting this whole time?
idk if somebody already said this but i just realized something: short hair/black vest furina is not interchangeable with long hair/white vest furina.
- in the teaser, she's in white and "speaking" to us directly up until the last scene with her crying (...performing for "fate?") as her voice grows fainter.
- in the demo, she's in black, performing in front of the camera, until that jazzy transition halfway through. after that she's in white directing.
- the thing i find most confusing about this is that short hair/black vest furina seems to fit more with the side of her we know than long hair/white vest furina...
The juxtaposition of her bubbly and fun trailer vs her omninous and foreboding teaser
This is one of my favorite character demos and teaser, its so well made😭
A few things interesting about the demo is that reversed for the characters throughout the demo and the second half are supposed to represent the various moments in the various archon quest to date that has fatui involvement. Childe normally would fight rather than flee. (Is supposed to be our escape from in Liyue when Zhongli showed up "dead" when Childe helped us escape) Neuvillette who is the judge is getting arrested by Navia who is like a mafia boss. (representing Signora stealing Venti's gnosis) Lyney is in the water tank rather than Lynette. (Representing Nahida's self isolation after being cornered by Dattore) And Clorinde vs Wriothesley are friends having a fight (is Signora fighting before the throne with us, with Furina in the background being Raiden) (Another role reversal is in the beginning when Furina, being as weak as she is, is stepping up to fight for Clorinde.
So given all these facts, I wonder what we can gather from the remaining parts. We see Freminet drowning from his diving helmet (again reverse) with Furina removing the helmet, and this is seemingly supposed to represent the events of Fontaine. (And given the previous moments, also an interaction with the Fatui)
Another interesting part is the finale with the cast beating the NPCs up. Given who each characters are supposed to represent previously, I wonder if it is perhaps also foreshadowing for things to come?
I love this demo since its all in good fun, but can actually go several layers deep if we try digging a bit.
The film panel with childe chased by melusine and all was a reference to archon quest! Like neuvillette that's from monstadt archon quest. When signora take venti's gnosis 🤣
Such a good details
The juxtaposition of tones is so fun, we have the Actor Furina where everyone is her actor in the show she puts on. And then we have Furina the member of the cast, trying to deceive the fate of the prophecy.
I know I’m excited but if doesn’t turn 10:00pm right now I’m about to the god whatever
I just realized but the lyrics at the end are in FRENCH I think they says something like "Ne vous inquiétez pas et profitons d'aujourd'hui" which is like "don't worry and let's enjoy the day"
i just notice even the Gems in Furina neck is little bit different from the white outfit and black outfit, feels like they are really different person, that's interesting
i wasnt even gonna pull for her then but then the demo came out and spoke to the theater kid in me. i dont regret it one bit.
The teaser may be worth re-watching now after the Archon Quest. I think it makes a lot more sense now, but only if it's not Furina in the teaser, but Focalors (looking like Furina before splitting her divinity). It aligns with her initial lines about thinking at the bottom of the ocean and realising there was only 1 possible solution to deceive the Heavenly Principles (fate itself).
Yo bran, see if you can pinpoint some important events from our past adventures in Furina's demo and how Fontainians acted them out for her lmao. Also, the other archons too. Lol her demo was so fun! But the Trailer is a lore dump wow!
hands down the absolute best demo imo
I think there's story implications in the demo as well, they're just more subtle. Seems to really be suggesting that everything we're seeing in Fontaine is one big performance (by hydro eidolons is my guess, like the bottleland event)
The vocals at the end remind me of the song played at the end of rythem heaven fever, dreams of the generation
6:38 I saw just this part earlier and thought someone animated this for the meme, didn't expect it to be official Genshin, lol
At the end in all the chaos, you can see Neuvillette kneeing the other dude
My favourite part is 6:37 where you can see Childe absolutely FLY through the air in the background as he drop kicks someone, it has me in stitches every time
this is the first trailer of the character in my memory, where they fully added vocalists😁😁
I’d say that the Teaser is showing the idea of role that furina will be playing
whereas the demo just shows her personality overall
Also a fun thing I noticed that not too many people are noticing is that when she’s swinging around on a swing, the lighting and the audience changes to reflect the nation she is “performing for” like Purple for inazuma, Green for Sumeru, Amber for Liyue, etc. Thats such an awesome touch
I wish everyone who is going for Furina good luck ❤❤
5:07 GentilHomme Usher = Nice guy Usher
5:12 Surintendante Chevalmarin = Superintendent Seahorse
And
5:16 Mademoiselle Crabaletta = miss Crabaletta
I really like her duality, they even portray it in the demo and teaser! I lover her so much, hope I could win 50/50 tomorrow
Her English VA is amazing! If anyone's ever watched DBZ Abridged, she voices Android 18
Oh my god, I was waiting for this video 🤩🤩🤩
the one that furina using cam, she is doing the act for all archon quest before
I saw someone in the comments of the demo trailer say this --
The camera bit with child being chased is the bit where child is getting chased by the millieth in Liyure
The bit with Neuvillette is meant to resemble Venti getting his gnosis stolen by Signora
The bit with Lyney in the tank is meant to be Nahida in her cage in Sumeru
The bit with her taking the helmat of the guy is meant to be Eli and her puppet Rainden Shogun
The bit with Chlorade and Wriothlesy in a stare down at each other is The traveler about to fight Signora or Eli/Rainden Shogun
Dont no if thats what was they indeed was going for or if that guy who said this comment was right or not but thought id just put it here
The MUSIC omg i need the full version aaaaaaaah
Genshin story quests and the teasers + demos are getting better and better. I'm sooo gonna pull for my angel Furina! I may be broke (in Genshin) and I don't know If I win the 50/50 but I MUST have her!
These trailers were so good! Hoyoverse never disappoints with their trailers
That while demo was such a trip. If you liked the music, you'd probably like Caravan Palace.
def one of my top demos, and the teaser is my favourite or one of them
I can't help but be a bit freaked out by how uplifting the demo is, especially after the teaser.
i love how the offline twitch chat is still there lol
