I think the shadow might actually be of the woman with the gun (I forget her name). But it is hard to tell. Neuvilette might be a misdirection. Being a man of high status we would think he could be corrupt. However, maybe he will be framed. At any rate, I think we should keep an eye on the woman with the gun.

Just want to add, Freminet, apparently a sibling of Lyne n Lynette, might be a ref to Martin Freminet, a prominent artist during the French renaissance, namely in the second school of Fontainebleau movement. And this was before the industrial revolution, so could he be a remnant of the past, aka someone connected to the previous archon? The school of Fontainebleau was also very closely related to the royal family. Freminet also seemed to be an important character, so Im sure his name wasnt just a random reference.

I mentioned it in a previous video's comments section, but China has strict rules about the depiction of human remains in media (skeletons are a No).

@bobbywibowo 11 месяцев назад

@@kiaradoesart9682 i believe something along that line was also said to be the reasoning behind hu tao not being able to appear in version 1.3 trailer (first lantern rite). heck, xiangling had to be the wielder of staff of homa in the trailer, to at least signify hu tao was even released in said version. there was also the argument that it coincides with their national holiday, thus making hu tao and her whole funeral/death thing being even more of a sensitive issue to be paired together. alright, that's all understandable. so then, what's with version 3.4 (third lantern rite), in which mihoyo straight up made her the mascot character of lantern rite? all i'm saying is, something tells me that mihoyo may already be able to skirt around the rules to some degree by this point. perhaps related to their ongoing success, and perhaps also their embrace of chinese culture (the whole chinese opera thing, which was often dubbed straight-up as a love letter from mihoyo to the chinese opera). with that said, i still don't think they will straight up show human bones (we already got a taste of censorship of that in caribert archon quest; although on hindsight, showing the bones in that context would've been in poor taste anyways), but we may be up to some surprises as to how much they'll be able to show in the future, at least in terms of visual representation

I'm very much looking forward to Fontaine and I'm interested to see what kind of lore drops we're going to get with today's update. The summer event usually gives us some insight. The first one introduced us to some of the mechanics and one of the bosses for Inazuma. The second one gave us insight into the kinds of puzzles and power possessed in the land of Dendro. This year has quite a few more technical advances like the roller coaster and even some new kinds of enemies to fight, but I'm hoping we'll get even more insight into what Fontaine might have for us. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

@@koteghe7600 Mostly the fact that many were logic based. Take Fischl's island for example. Most of the puzzles there were figuring out which raven did whatever thing. Also, there was the mechanic where they moved on stage. That one was a lot like a mechanical puzzle in the desert. A lot of it also had to do with other dream-layers to them, which Nahida tells us is similar to her power. It's also an intro to give us a taste on concepts for the Aranara realm.

@akiimpact5636 11 месяцев назад

While watching the video , I had a speculation about "Azocite" (don't know the spelling).If Azocite is the purest form of elemental energy Then is all elements in Genshin like pyro , hydro , Electro , Anemo , dendro , Geo , Cryo a derivative of the "Azocite"(maybe a contaminated form of power or of poor quality like different quality of uraniums).Similar to White Light which is a mixture of all colours and the Azocite being similar to the energy source which waws censored being travellers sword which they lost.This can be true as when the traveller lost the sword they are unable to use their orginal powers.With this wew can say that the traveller is just a vessel for elemental energy like a vision.this may mean that when we unlock all the elements for the traveller cryo being last traveller may gain thier orginal power.

@nawenyxar4378 11 месяцев назад

Very interesting! I don't think the power of the traveler depends of his sword, but more that he's somehow mayde of Azocite. Or he's a living Azocite.

@Famemem 11 месяцев назад

I think you’re right about traveler’s original power being the purest elemental form, which is the aame as azosite. That also made me wonder if this is why the traveler has special purification abilities? Because azosite was mentioned alongside the power of khvarena, which dispels abyssal energy, maybe azosite can also dispel abyssal energy and that’s why the traveler was able to purify corrupted things? (Like Dvalin’s tear etc.) But also now I realize that the traveler purified Dvalin’s tear when he only had anemo…

@manuelaparcedo417 11 месяцев назад

if azocite is the root of all elements, wouldn't it be closer to Imaginary than to Quantum?, the "light" element instead of the darkness one...

@x4E5t 9 месяцев назад

Crack theory but maybe azocite is actually a higher quality than khaverna as that power comes from 3 different Gods(elements) and azocite is likely all 7+? And that’s likely why the traveler is unaffected even by abyssal power.

So looking forward to more of that (and to people butchering our language, i will be giggling but not in a mean spirited way in a way that i find very cute people who try their best) Also Guillotine being a canon character in the Genshin lore is extremely dark as he is irl the inventor of the guillotine which as im sure a lot of people are aware was what was used during the reign of terror and other terror periods (great terror, white terror etc) where heads were rolling left and right, the king's, queen, nobility and church and civilians for opposing the radicals who did the coup to take the power from nobility and the royalty so uhhh yeah interesting to see that name here 🤠

I do wonder how much Scottish influence we'll see. Scotland was, along with France, known for achievements technological and chemical sciences (why Scotty in Star Trek was Scottish) and we've already got Lochfolk, with loch being a Scottish word. It's interesting that they set it up early with some Scottish references, but it's been almost entirely French since. I wonder if there will be some theme of the old guard versus the new guard with the old guard being of more Scottish influence in the new guard being more French? What with the lochfolk being the oceanids who, of course, fled the new regime.

I think that Situationism influenced to some extent the setup in Fontaine, particularly the concept of the Spectacle. Quoting directly from Wikipedia: In the general sense, the spectacle refers to "the autocratic reign of the market economy which had acceded to an irresponsible sovereignty, and the totality of new techniques of government which accompanied this reign."[1] It also exists in a more limited sense, where spectacle means the mass media, which are "its most glaring superficial manifestation."[2] Debord said that the society of the spectacle came to existence in the late 1920s.[3][1]. Basically, from my limited understanding on it, the spectacle refers to a show of sorts that capital displays towards the population in order to control them, and it forms the basis of social interactions while being reinforced by the institutions. The spectacle would have emerged in places like France during the timeframe Fontaine seems to reference. I think, and an analogy could be established with what we know as "the spectacle of the courtroom", the state institutions in Fontaine controls the population through not only mass media but also magic shows and even court trials, with the Archon herself seemingly buying into court trials as entretainment, a distraction from the material issues and problems that Fontaine has going on.

@grassina3 11 месяцев назад

That’s how I understand it too, like Brave New World or the Hunger Games. What complicates it here is the implication that the twins are like rebels or traitors against Fontaine. That means the spectacle in their case would be a distraction not on behalf of the government but against it

I guess I'm most interested in how Focalors gained the gnosis and became the archon instead of anyone else. There were likely plenty that could have vied for it, but she was the one to do it. She's a new archon relatively speaking. Nahida carries with her the memories of Rukkhadevata, but she's also a new archon. However, Focalors in the promo video seems to be... disconnected and ruthless to the populace. Given, I think this is also why she was the one to become the archon instead of anyone that could have been an opponent.

This video IS AMAZING ASHIKAI. I love your theory videos and I love how much detail and deep you get into the story! And how there are real-life references. It would be cool if you go over commedia dell'arte and how it correlates with the harbingers.

Hi ! Thank you for all your work ! And especially about French history and our complicated XVIII to XIXe century (in 80 years we went through 7 different regimes). Just a few chronological precisions though : - 7:10 the French civil code was established in 1804 (and is still the one we use today - with fortunately a few adjustments) and the French Criminal Code in 1810, during the First empire under Napoleon and thus before the establishment of the 2nd republique (1848) that you mentionned. Maybe you meant that we got a new constitution ? Because the Constitution of 1848 did indeed present a judiciary system. But like nothing that new compared to what the First empire created. - a tiny tiny one : actually la Belle époque was not under the same industrial revolution ("IR") than the 1848 era. Indeed, in France we usually distinguish three IR : one in 1765 (mechanical revolution : train, steam etc that you mentionned, and lasted until half of the XIXth century), and then a second one in 1870 which was especially know for the ... electricity ! New form of ... energy iykyk. Which aligns pretty well with your point about the new source of power that Fontaine seeks. (the third one is automatisation in the XXth). - And just for chronological clarity about the 1848 revolution you mentionned and the Belle Epoque : that revolution gave birth to the 2nd Republique (1848-1852) that became the 2nd Empire when then-president decided he did not want to not be president anymore and started a coup (surprises surprise, he was a Napoleon). The 2nd Empire ended due to multiple war defeats (lead by a third Napoleon-dude against Germany). Thus started the 3rd Republique in 1870 (that started with a period of turmoil where La Commune (1871) happened ! Famous period of communism within Paris, ended in a blood bath though.) La Belle Epoque only started around 1879 when the government was more firmly established. Sorry for nitpicking, your presentation was really great :D (and clearer than my long paragraphs ahah) Can't wait for Fontaine ~

The first industrial revolution in France (steam, train, coal, etc...) began rather under the July Monarchy around 1840 and ended around 1860-1870 under the 2nd Empire. Then, the second industrial revolution (electricity, automobile, etc.) began around 1896 and ended around 1913, therefore under the Third Republic. I think the timeline you mention fits the UK more than France. They started their industrial revolution long before us (perhaps partly because they weren't busy killing each other during a revolution and conquering Europe for 25 years...) Also, I think that at 7:10, she is referring to the victory of the Parti de l'Odre (the conservative right) in the legislative elections of 1849. The new assembly in effect canceled certain social measures which had been taken by the governments of 1848, but above all, it will restrict universal suffrage in order to withdraw the right to vote from 2-3 million poor workers.

Honestly my crack theory is that Focalors(Furina) represent 2 sides of the same coin. That coin being the 2 different ways the justice system treats people on trial, one side being the entertainment and twists of certain trials as they go on. And the other side being the empathetic and need to help people who were falsely accused. To add to this, she has 2 different colored eyes, one light and one dark, but both have tear drops in them. You don't have to believe this but it's fun to think about

@whoknowsanymore2909 11 месяцев назад

She might also be using entertainment to keep herself distracted from the fact that from what we know, Celestia is above Fontaine

@Uranusmv 11 месяцев назад

In that aspect he would look a bit like Ei, the boy who is praying to him at the altar, near the stairs, mentions like 1 out of 10 occasions, Raiden shogun, has helped him with his problems, before he has to bring him sweet food as a tribute and wait for results. The boy is called shouta.

OKAY, but I saw someone else point out that the last card to flicker across the screen after the twin’s card trick is a smiling black cat, so that matches up to Chat Noir perfectly.

I enjoyed your video from start to finish, with some steam coming out of my ears from time to time (info overload) haha. Thanks for refreshing me the history of France to explain Fontaine's possible background story. Also I have a vibe from Navia as the thief Lupin, did someone else have it too ? Can't wait for this new region

@MrVidau 11 месяцев назад

Is anyone else scared that there is little to no information on Natlan?? Both Snezhnaya and Fontaine have quite a few references from the past updates, but I can't remember a single thing nor a single visiting NPC from Natlan. I know I'm jumping the gun considering we're over a year away from it, but Ashikai's video made me think.

@faizaholajide6913 11 месяцев назад

I mentioned it in another person's video but I will mention it here too. Yesterday I searched for the meaning of overture and it said an introduction to something substantial(There are different definition of overture but it all means to begin something or an opening or introduction to something but you get the picture). Which means Fontaine is going to be a major turning point of the story of genshin where it introduces something important.

@krys9463 11 месяцев назад

I can't wait for Fontaine! I'm already stocking up on artifacts for Hydro traveler as well as any characters I'll roll for in the future (also the sword of descension for aesthetic purposes). One thing I'm curious about is at the end of the trailer where the girl complains about 'having a real twist for once', I wonder if that's hoyo giving out a hint that they have a big twist prepared for the archon quest. Maybe I'm reading to much into it but I'm really looking forward to it.

@ChinChinLover 11 месяцев назад

why is monstadt living in the middle ages while fontaine has industrialised and is going nuclear lmao.

@Infelious 11 месяцев назад

because each archon governs in their own way. Their own people want different things. Mond is most free and true freedom doesn't need mechination, if anything thats the opposite.
