7 Things You Missed in Natlan Preview Teaser - Need a Hand? (Genshin Impact) 

with this colorful place like natlan, i wish the archon quest will be full of plot twist with darkest secret in it

4:50 with that zoom, I now realise her pupils are fish-shaped. Pretty on the nose.

I want to see the natlan statue so badly 😭

Think about the Dendro dude too! The Dendro Saurian in the previous trailer could use some sort of orbs to connect and fly like the guy! All three of these newly shown characters were very like the versions of the saurians we previously saw!

Wtf the dinosaure is so huge, how could i miss it ??

Things I personally will look out for from the teaser and your video: 1) The Dendro guy’s gimmick is the same as the saurian. But what if instead of just a mode of travel, both can actually attack on mid-air? As it was shown in the teaser, the dendro dude swiveled his claymore mid-air. 2) Some people say Furina’s kit is kinda foreshadowed by the hydro hypostasis (ousia-pneuma colors, hydro animals representing saloon animals, etc). We know that Fontaine’s character gimmick revolves around arkhe alignment, which Furina both have. If we apply this concept to the Pyro archon, then we will relate the pyro hypostasis’ design and skills to her. Pyro hypo has these pyro animals as part of its mechanics which might imply that the Pyro archon doesn’t need all the saurians/mounts because a) she might have the power to shapeshift, b) as the archon of the nation of dragons, she has the control over these saurian mounts, or c) part of her kit is to summon mounts, just like how Furina summons hydro entities with her Skill. Note that these are just all speculations. Based on the slime/hypostasis theory. 3) Each region represents real life culture/s and nationalities. The recently teased Natlan characters has rich and diverse motifs that might hint which real world culture/nations they’re representing. The most obvious design for me is the hydro girl’s design. She might possibly from a tribe inspired from Austronesian or Pacific indigenous groups. Even her shark’s design is leaning on that culture. The geo girl is interesting, and the teaser showed a tent-like “city” where she most probably resides. I’m not sure with this one, but might be inspired by Native American culture. The hardest to guess is the dendro guy. His design shows many quadratic symbols and checkered patterns. It may represent any culture from South East Asia, Latin America, or the Aboriginal people. There are three more saurians from the first released teaser which will represent more characters. We might get characters based on Eskimos, the Aztecs/Mayans or the Amazons in the future ;) Sorry for the long comment, I’m just very excited for Natlan. And I think Hoyo kinda wants to represent almost the whole real world. The whole version 5.x series will be a really good treat to the Genshin community. :)

dendro xiao looking like kingdom hearts sora i'm here for it

I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet, but Natlan's Vision case design looks (and might be inspired from) like the Mayan Calendar, which is the inspiration for Natlan overall design as well !

0:28 IT’S A SHARPEDO! “Dress to match their *companions* ” - this is literally Pokemon! I guess we gotta catch them all

Would be cool if those mining tools (?) from the enemies were a reference to the damage made to Amazonian indigenous people by illegal mining. If anyone's curious about this, the Yanomami tribe in Brazil suffers with heavy metal poisoning due to mining techniques employed illegally by companies in their lands. If I remember correctly, their people, land and meals were suffering with quicksilver poisoning, it's a whole humanitarian/sanitary crisis.

Natlan is so much more than I expected, and this teaser genuinely made me look forward to the seemingly Natlan specific travel style, more than the previous teaser they showed. If future characters also end up mimicking their Saurian companion, I'm sure the designs will look very cool. ♡

Some cultural keys that I managed to recognize: 4:03 This saw is a stylized Aztec macahuitl. 5:02 Here the foe girl is carrying an Aztec macuahuitl. 2:47 This vision is adorned in the style of the center of the Aztec Calendar... a mexican classic design. The city living in the volcano valley is like Teotihuacan, but it also makes you think of the Inca cities... the balloon thing is an interesting nod. After all, it is a popular theory that the Nazca lines were gigantic to be seen from the sky. If anyone else was able to recognize other details, could you mention them?

I can’t believe you compared the geo girl to everyone BUT Kirara, whose elemental skill looks very similar in mechanics to hers

2:54 Ok, this is…pretty unrelated to the overall video, but I haven’t seen anyone mention this so I just wanted to spread the word. We…most likely haven’t seen what Snezhnayan visions look like, at least not in their more natural state. This is because Arlecchino’s vision story tells us that she gained hers when she was still in Fontaine, meaning that it should’ve manifested with a Fontainian casing, and yet we see a “Snezhnayan” one instead, making it likely that the casing was somehow removed and replaced. I don’t exactly know how this works, nor do I get…why and how they seemingly removed Arlecchino’s potential power over Pneuma or Ousia in the process, but I think that Arlecchino and Childe’s visions have unnatural cases made specifically for Fatui members, which makes sense in retrospect given how they’re silver/metal unlike every other casing, and also how they share the same casing as the manmade delusions. In fact, given how we see Childe and Arlecchino wear their delusions exactly where their visions usually are during their boss fights, I kind of wonder if that’s why these casings are applied, it allows them to easily switch between the two. So…yeah, I don’t actually think we’ve seen a standard Snezhnayan vision yet, and that the Fatui ones are a bit of a mystery at the moment.

3:31 so this geo girl is probably a ..miner

3:50 dinosaur? yessssss

The Hydro girl just gives this Caribbean vibes and the Dendro guy too, he also gives modern jungle vibes which is cool, the geo girl looks like she is from the dry areas up north of Central America. So yeah, as a hispanic from the Caribbean I approve this designs, but I'm not going to lie, I'm looking for more tanned looking, volcanic living characters since it is after all the Pyro Nation, there has to be something related to fire.

We got a blahaj for a character🔥🔥✍️

I love how 2 of the things in here are just "look this character has gloves" and "look that's a deer"

I definitely see each character being a counterpart to a Saurian, but I don't think they're 'attached' to them. I think the Saurians will be Natlan only, and the characters will let us do those traversal techniques outside of the nation (I think they'll just work like fancier versions of Sayu and Kirara skills).

Natlan got me so HYPEDDD ‼‼‼

Its kinda fitting for the title teaser "Need a hand?" which implies exclusive game mechanics to Natlan region to use companions to scale different terrains. Reminds me a lot of pokemon like in XY, SM, SwSh whereas you use different pokemon for scenarios like using lapras to surf, charizard to fly etc

my take on their power is that everyone of them is from a different "tribe" an have different types of saurian companions, if you pull for the character you can use that ability if it's the same exploration type needed, like surfing, climbing and jumping in the air, if you don't have that character you can always borrow the saurians like in the first trailer.

I'm going to leave this comment here for anyone who complains about "they are too white for a region based in Latin America." As a Latin American person (Who was born and lives there) Please, enough is enough. Our region has been quite diverse for about 500 years, with people of all kinds, especially Europeans, natives, Africans, Arabs and in some parts a greater Japanese, Chinese and Filipino influence. So no, the skin tone of the characters is fine, because we Latinos can be of any skin tone, since we are not a "Race" but an Ethnicity, which are very different things. Therefore it is more important for us that our culture is respected and not simply "skin tone." Because we are diverse enough to have a great variety of tones. Apart from the fact that the anime design is a great success since in Latam, we are all big fans of that medium, with Dragon Ball and Pokemon being the most favorites. PD: Oh i almost Forgot the other impact anime. Saint Seya (Knigts of the Zodiac/Caballeros del Sodiaco).

There are many totem-style animals in indigenous cultures throughout the Americas, from the indigenous people of Alaska and Canada to those of South America. So it's only normal that some characters have animal characteristics and that they can identify with an animal that is their personal totem. Like Nahuales in México. In the Native Americans they are bears, eagles, wolves, buffalo... In the north there are also dragon-style animals: the winged chimera Piasa of the Illiniwek, in the Cherokee the giant snake Uktena, or the horned snake of the Choctaw, Seminole or Ojibwa people. All very similar to the Aztec Quetzalcóatl or the Mayan Kukulkan... Yes. The mythology of all of America is fascinating and very suitable for great Genshin-style epic scenes.

Saving for that guy

It's also super curious that because Natlan is made up of six tribes, we don't have one major city! Maybe some cities/villages will be larger than others? Similar to Inazuma city and Watatsumi island?? I'm also thinking we enter Natlan from northeast fontaine, over the mountains behind the fortress of meropede! We'll probably enter the water tribe region first! Maybe the water saurian tribe doesn't have a city or village, but live on ships? Kind of like a sort of stationary fleet?

This teaser has me so excited for 5.0

There are also levitating rocks like that of chasm but on the surface

3:51 I think that with us seeing the geo saurian from the previous trailer and seeing this dinosaur creature, it’s making me think that there aren’t just one saurian for each element. If every character that was tied to a singular saurian all of the characters would just have similar play styles. If there were say 3 saurians per element it would give hoyo more space to work with when it comes to developing unique play styles and animations. The dinosaur in the background could very well be another geo saurian (because of its yellow colour) so that means that there could be other travelling methods to geo Natlan characters. This would go for the other elements. Hydro-it could be no stamina is drained when swimming, a dolphin saurian Dendro-it could be grabbing materials or activating challenges, a chameleon saurian Geo-it could be being able to grow your size, a stegosaurus saurian Anemo-double/triple jump, a monkey saurian Electro-teleporting to locations within a 100m radius, a bird saurian Pyro-flying using a new stamina bar (glides when depleted), a dragon saurian Cryo(possibly please)-stopping time for a short period to escape enemies or travel across water (like in The Orchard of Pairidaeza), a cheetah (because they are so fast it would seem like they passed you in the blink of an eye)

The vision case looks dope!

I think the gimmick for these characters is Gadgets, the Dendro boy probably has some kind of hookshot, the geo girl has a personal mining buggy, and the Hydro girl has a shark like surf board. These gadgets for natlan characters likely supplement the need for Saurians for certain traversal methods and from the looks of it the Dendro and Geo are some type of mechanics, based on their jackets tied around their waists.

Most likely, the new characters (at least some of them), have their own traverse skills, but non-natlan characters will be able to use saurians to traverse Natlan, similar to how in Fontaine, only fontaine characters have ousia and pneuma aligned attacks, while non-fontaine characters can use the ousia and pneuma orbs to apply them to their attacks! (or like how only fontaine characters can jump out of water) The glow the Natlan characters have is probably some unique power exclusive to the region, similar to ousia and pneuma! Perhaps the Pyro archon, or sovereign might be the source of this power, therefore can use all of the mounts?

I just want to say I really love all of your videos. The music in the background is always so calming and the content is always great. You really do point out a lot of the details I missed in Genshin's content.

praying that Pyro Traveler is actually useful and not a crappy burst animation come join me in Copium

So we got a chibi geo before hydro claymore? One more for my collection!

WERE SO CLOSE TO SEE WHAT MURATA LOOKS LIKE. IM THINKING HIMEKO EXPY, GREATSWORD USER Also i believe she will be the special character to use all the movement types

Can't wait to explore Natlan!!!🤩

natlan looks like a pain to explore with all those cliffs and tall trees.

the blue part of the map looks like fontaine so maybe with the arrival of natlan we can get a small fontaine expansion and also natlans location seems to be above fontaine and maybe in a future expansion next to the sumeru desert

Another week for the archon drip😭

1:47 I think that's the Dendro guy's companion. He seems to have the same abilities, easy traversing in the air. (2:11)

leaks a while ago said that the dendro guy will be a five star claymore wielder, and able to grapple to places like seen in the saurian trailer when the dendro one grappeled using its powers so it is confirmed for them all to have a saurian companion

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! ILYYYY 🎉❤

4:36 that ship looks like the Saurian/Natlan (?) hat that Ranjit had made

There are dinosaurs in Natlan. I'm sold.

Every new region still blows me away with how different of a world it feels. It's really like immersing yourself in a traveling experience

So paimon is our saurian 💀

THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD

I think by the colour of their collar and shirt it seems like they are mixed dendro and geo combine in one character, they can probably choice elements based on it’s affect

Fun fact, the Natlan vision is based on the center of the Sun Stone or Aztec Callender

2:19 I have a theory tho it can be at the level of things you say when you are high, what if what seems to be the Claymore is actually the saurian? I wouldn't be surprised to be honest

Geo child probably a catalyst Hydro woman a bow user Dendro ninja probably a claymore

It's great to see Hoyo again have representativeness in mind. As someone from Latin America, I can confirm we ride dinossaurs, sharks and mining drills as transports.

I love all the designs of the characters so far, it looks so much more detailed and the colour schemes are amazing!

You all, here is a theory. In the past teaser we only see three saurios, but there were six symbols, and know in this teaser not only the geo girl looks like the geo Saurio, the other enemys all have the same aestheric. Putting all this together I think each tribe of Natlan is going to have the same aestheric that the 6 main saurios, and the respective element and habilities of this saurios will determinate the culture of the tribe, for example, the hidro shark-like saurio will be the symbol for a caribbean tribe, they will bw really close to water and be capable of sail the sea, mean while the tribe of the green saurio will be related to dendro and they probably live in tall trees, so that is why they move using the green orbs. Now, we know that there are seven elements in genshin, and only 6 tribes and saurios, so... I think there is not going to be anything related to Cryo, thats my guess.

I wanna one more thing : That geo child character is a miner,and she's getting chased by miners. What could she possibly do to get that happen?

Oooh I’m so glad someone stitched together the map!

Dang you’re always so quick!

I just hope that Hoyo has a unique design for the oculi like they did with Liyue's, we never saw that again and it's such a great detail !!

okay but I know damn well Natlan's music is going to be my top favourite

Ever since the talking stick released I did imagine the gimmick of Natlan characters would be for all of them to have a companion, tho not super unique since weve had characters like that before. So I think this idea of them not needing to "become" the saurian themselves and just use their own way to travel is a good roundabout. And yeah bc of the dendro guy (also didnt even know if consider the other two as living beings they kinda seemed fake/mechanical idk) I dont think you will necessarily *see* this companion and I do believe they will just be able to use this unique mode of transportation respective to just their tribe. Didnt think about it but yeah maybe the pyro archon is able to traverse in the 6 different ways

The Vision design looks a bit like the Aztecan Sun Stone.

Of hydro traveler had the alignment mechanic like the Fontaine cast, I wouldn’t be surprised if pyro traveler had a sorta “companion” in their kit similar to the natlan cast here

Kinda expected the fire nation and nation of war to be way cooler. Just looks like sumeru again

1:35 it's a big giveaway of how large Natlan would be

the place is kinda mix landscape of mexico because of the colorful paints on the hills, mixed with grand canyon from america and the native american face paint, with a little bit of Hawaiian because of the active volcanoes.

Natlan is gonna be a blast . Natlan might be my fav region.

I'm shocked you didn't mention pyroculus in cornerr😂😂

CAT WITH BLUE HAT IS BACK!!!

A few things that can be considered are for starters the miners being the local mobs in Natlan much like the Eremites in Sumeru could hint at those Miners being their own faction or there is some dissatisfaction amongst them. The Visions wielded by Natlanders have one side that is white and the other dark brown. Perhaps there is some hint to it.

The green duds vision is on the right knee , at the end you can see it when all three are standing

I think the dendro guy just use something similar to the dendro flowers in Sumeru, which would make sense with the dendro lizard tongue, so perhaps the lizard is already at the location and the character is getting to it.

0:35 honestly there was also this short event where this guy (i think , i hate reading dialogue that isn’t voiced) in 4.6 mentioned something about dragon companions i believe .

Can't wait to have the power saw user in abyss 🙂

Oh I love the Natlan Vision case

0:02 i think That's her E hold skill, just like Kirara. Because that's doing damage

I think that there are 7 types of saurians in natlan and every saurian represents one of the elements in a speciefic area , here we saw the (geo , hydro , dendo) ones I think there will be more saurians in the future and maybe the main city of natlan will be in the pyro area with the pyro saurians around, and we may see the natlan archon there. Thats what i think

when i saw the enemies outfits, i was thinkink that it is very similar to the Saurian that can travel throw the ground. At least their hats and clothes reminded me to that Animal.

I'm actually pretty excited for Natlan. The environment, the characters, and of course the soundtrack! Can't wait till we reach the land of pyro.

Honestly i don't get my hopes up much for anything, so I'm extra happy when things go right, and not too upset if things go wrong. Before natlan teasers literally all i was hoping for was the heat mechanic from signora fight coming to the open world, or basically dragonspine 2. I honestly like the cold mechanic and i love helping people get through dragonspine so another place to do it would be great. Even if there isn't an area like that i enjoy the color scheme so i'll be happy with this region.

Natlan is gonna be so fun

Bro detail about how that enemy starts his weapon with kicking like we do generator manually😂😂.

if every Natlan character have a saurian companion does that mean since the traveler was Pneuma with the realease of Fontaine the pyro traveler might have one ?

Natlan is easily my favorite I love the colors

I think those place are also based on elements like Geo place hydro place and dendro looking place so i think we will get 3 more elemental region in natlan.

Wow the character designs contrast so much with all the other characters

When it comes to breakdown this guy does his job very well✌️

HOLY HELL I NEED THEM all

2:47 Wow, it looks like a sun.😮

Natlan look a complete different game, the gameplay system seems to be so different than all previous Nations. Also, the travel effect on the characters remind me of Kingdom Hearts, same effect when using slash/slide/dash mode (I believe it is called)

the dendro boy with his blade gives me Sora's vibe with his keyblade in KH

Its awsome! Looks like solar calendari of aztec people

Accurate as always. Thank you!

I don’t know how it seems like nobody noticed but in the previous outland trailers there Six types not three un at seventh visit we have one for every element but if you go rewatch the trailer as zoom as it on three but there were six symbols

4:00 maybe a giraffe, i hope im wrong.

I want the wings for diluc hahahahaha

The roflgyro looks like a lot of fun. I hope is has a horn that you can honk as you speed by hillichurls 😂

Pyro Archon probably going to be the one who can use all 3 types of Travel methods kinda like how Furina can use both Pneuma and Ousia

2:39 - 2:50 Love the vision design
