So cynos got both shards now, plus a vision, im curious how strong he actually is now. Also, this explains why sethos is a 4 star. He essentially gave his 5 star rank away to cyno. Lotta things falling into place rn. Cynos buffed, the desert and rainforest are more united than ever, watatsumi and the shoganate are buddy buddy, liyues adepti and humans are coexisting, Fontaines dragon sovereign has his full power. Idk whats up in ventis land, but if a war breaks out, some of these regions are in a solid position to fight back against whatever they're up against.
venti has klee /j but also like mona and possibly alice and friends, as well as the remaining four winds and whatever diluc, kaeya, and jean have going on for them
A detail I would like to add is that during their fight, in the first phase they both used the power gifted to them by the gods then switch to using ordinary weapons. This was a call back to their conversation earlier where Cyno and Sethos compared themselves to one another, Sethos states that Cyno is a complete person because outside of being a vessel, he has his own purpose and goals, whereas Sethos has only been following the will of his grandfather, not having any purpose in life besides being a vessel. They open the fight to see who is the better vessel, but end the fight using their own strengths, and thus Cyno won using his own capabilities and conviction.
My favorite part of this quest, besides the cutscene and exposition, is when Naphis tears the holy hell out of Cyrus; man, to think one of the Akademiya's best and brightest retirees had a huge brainfart and nearly got himself turned into Sumpter Beast poop. No way that Nahida is not going to enjoy the drama the old dude caused.
"The chestless temple"... reminds me that the areas of Sumeru revealed by the map update also seem to be 99% chestless... between that and how empty the surface area around Petrichor is I was much disappoint.
I think Tighnari is a Valuka Shuna and the people are from Tighnar. Weird shit, but this quest is cool. And the fact they added the Kaveh leaning against the table animation is definitely a choice lol.
That's what I understood too. And his dad told him his name came from that inheritance before, so it's more like his parents just named him after a place, which isn't too weird, imo.
Omg i love cyno he's such a good written character with great personality layers , fun relationships and interaction and very interesting lore , i hope he gets a story quest act 3 as well 🤞🏻
0:29 I won’t be surprised if the writters were like “what’s a name we can give Tighnari’s ancestors?Tighnaris? Great surely we didn’t write ourselves into a corner”
I mean the inspiration behind him, Al-Tighnari is called that because he’s known for the part of his name named after the village of Tignar where he was born. So in a way they were true to the roots of his name. This is different from AlHaitham who is named after Ibn al-Haytham since based on naming conventions, just like Al-Tighnari we aren’t using his actual first name but the fact that he is the grandson of Haytham (if I’m reading his full name correctly)
Tighnari called Tighnari and his people called the Tighnar is not questionable. :) There are a lots of family name which corresponds to their nationality. (for ex, Magyar Peter. Magyar means Hungarian etc or Román Balázs, Román meaning Romanian) Where I live (in Transilvania, Romania) there are a lots of names hich means some kind of nationality. (Tóth, Szász, Sváb, Cseh, Német etc)
@@Quasarii Dracula have never been a vampire in Transilvania. He was made based upon a historycal character, Vlad Tepes, who was, in my opinion far worse than a vampire. ;P He was called the Impaler. Can look it up.
So basically this quest cutscene its a tease for natlan AQ, maann I cant wait for Capitano cutscenes in natlan dude probably avoid all conflict but at the end of natlan we witness his max potential
@@The_original_oneIf I were you, I wouldn't believe the story leaks. They ALWAYS don't know something, misunderstand something, or are completely wrong. Leaks guys are as terrible as possible in story leak.
Because Sumeru is about family bonds :) out of all the archons, nahida also gave us the most clear answer about our history. So naturally, traveler feels the most comfortable with !
The only dissapointing thing about the temple of silence is the lack of books or just things to read in general, i think there just two npcs who have an interesting conversation but it sadly stops at that, also no chests but i didn't care that much about it
I got stuck on you calling Sethos a boy because he really does look like he is about Razor's age but he is as old as Cyno who is at least in his late 20s. Genshin really should do something about these models 😭
@@lratioyourmom5608he graduated the academia long ago , and it's been long years since hes general mahamatra , it onlu makes sense that hes at least 24+ years old or at least at kazuha age (26 yo)
@@msser4kira784now for the meme term... AKSUTUALLY. Actually, we have a direct, in-game, voiced, spoken to the traveler, by a playable character, written by mihoyoverse, canonical age for cyno. In fact all the sumeru bois. Kaveh hangout confirms he's 24 or 25. No more. And he also confirms he is the oldest of the squad, so cyno is around 22-24 give or take
Istg sometimes these characters are so dumb. How do you not notice that giant insignia until Kaveh showed up. Also not the Ochaco reference lol. Referencing My Hero, Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen recently I approve. And Collei running away is amazing. The Joestar secret technique being used once again.
This was mt favorite story quest ever, it was wholesume, beautiful, intresting , and above all, it was full of the cast and charcters we love ! Its happend also in Chiori's and Arlecheeno quest and i hope its gonna keep it that way!
This was the best writing I’ve seen in Genshin so far. Lots of character interactions, Cyno does his joke thing but it isn’t overplayed, perfect amount of lore without dumping. Felt like a seamless story unlike most story quests. Great perspectives and lessons learned for cyno and sethos. Full props to Hoyo this round
i couldnt tell ya lol. cyno should be stronger rn then he was before given he was a second shard though. ive been meaning to rank non gods for a while.
@@DawitsLookingforEmilia yeah that probably is true. we saw cyno and wanderer go head-to-head in the parade of providence event, and they were pretty evenly matched, with wanderer just barely coming out on top sorta, but now cyno's power's gone quite a bit up, he probably beat wanderer. ..though that's assuming wanderer wasn't holding back in the competition. I mean, it wasn't even a real fight, it was just a relay race! to be honest we don't know WANDERER's power level that much. I mean, he DID manage to solo shouki no kami, but there were some memory/dream shenanigans going on ..and if cyno's ult form means he's using hermanubis' power, then cyno didn't even USE his ba fragment in the event! ...all in all, though. I'd like to think they're pretty evenly matched
@DawitsLookingforEmilia that is really sad, man. I'm saying this because he is my favourite character. I really wish they would make him better than he is right now
@@hado99-goryutenmetsu out of sumeru characters they decided to make the coolest one to not be very good. kinda crazy, i feel like nowadays he would have been released on the lvl of lyney at least
You have to wait bro there will be a character in the future who will buff Em characters like cyno, look what happen when elec and pyro characters when cheveruse came out, try using cheveruse with cyno his dmg will get buff significantly
Not every character needs to be meta to be considered "strong" tho , he is strong but not broken or such , but still sad bro , as one of the most awaited sumeru characters and the coolest sumeru character , plus being a good written character with personality layers and interesting lore and fun relationships and interaction, he really deserves to be meta broken character
For the people who missed it there is a dialogue inside the temple of silence that tell us who were all the sages of king dreshet and apep was one of the sages of dreshet the same apep that called dreshet inferior to her have worked for him
I just don't get why they let Cyno be taken from the Temple of Silence in the first place if the Ba fragment was so important. I guess they thought Sethos was enough? And when the Temple declined, they thought the other Ba fragment would somehow help?
All good but the quest as always making so many dialogues to go to the main plot, I know is story but genshin is supposed to be a game to PLAY not to read, I read really fast and the time to skip dialogue is too short :/
This is because these are literally different games in different genres. To make a battle with a character in hsr, all you need is just to put an already playable character in the place of the enemy, that's it. By the way, attacks in hsr are cutscenes, they don't have a hitbox trajectory or anything else that needs to be worked out in a 3d environment, it's just animation and nothing more. In the genshin, or in just an action RPG in general, you need to create new attacks for the character, because the nonsense that the playable versions have do not fair against players, you need to make a working AI for these attacks, you need to make the attacks look normal, organic, make them dodgebal, and so on. This is literally the reason why only hsr has such character battles in all hoyo games, because they can do them in one click, by the way, anyone can also do this using mods.
@@abceckswhyzee7169 I don't understand what you wanted to tell me. Um, other games similar in genre to genshin need to write their own attack code, since these are other games with other mechanics, but if someone is very professional in coding and 3d modeling, then they can redo the code of enemies' attacks in genshin in the form of a mod, but no one will do this because of too much cost and pointlessness, at most, someone can change the model of some enemy in the game to the model of a playable character. Answer me if I understood your comment correctly.
@@iosis9324 You did, sorry for the confusion. I wrote it in a hurry. I'm very interested in moddig games (and creating attack/interaction code especially!), and have been coding for years. I'd definitely be up to the job of modding Genshin! If you have any resources you can point me to, I'd be eternally grateful! Also, what do you mean that it's be costly? Would you need to purchase software to mod it?
It was a very cool story!!!✨🔥. We discovered more secrets and Saino got both shards🙃. I was curious how strong he is now 🤔. It was great to look at pictures of little cyno 😙 with the professor and Lisa. ❤I hope that we will discover more of cyno's story and his adventure together as a traveler and friends 😁🤍
I wonder what happens if you intentionally try to lost the duel as Traveller/Tignari, like letting enemies to attack and do nothing. I.e., what happens when Shrooms bring Traveller's health to zero? Unfortunately, I've thought about this after winning the second duel.
The only problem with me in the story quest is that the grandfather just die when he finish talking. I mean I kinda feel that was too childish if that were to just happen. I’m saying this is because during sumeru there was a time where a lot of people complaining the story quest are too childish and just picnic.
The priest in the Archon quest cutscene isn't Hermanubis but the Priest Kasala who just happened to have the same designe as Cyno, also Sumeru already have it's own adepti which are the Jinns who can shapeshift, we met Liloupar who can somehow shapeshift into a Yaksha who are part of the adepti, and Hermanubis has it's own race, the others sages probably have different ones.
(Gets access to Temple of Silence records) Me: OMG, more Celestia knowledge for the big war! Forbidden knowledge! Goddess of Flowers' and King Deshret's secrets! Heck yeah!
20:14 RIGHT?? Its like a family, you dont see anyone else doing allat except for the Knights Of Favonius and maybe the Fortress of Meropide where Wriothesley and Sigewinne accompanied us during dinner ☠️
This quest was nice in a way... but it literary didn't give any information about ANYTHING. We absolutly don't know what that fragmant do with Cyno... more power or somekinde of a knowlage? Yes that was a good point that there wasn't any extra knowlage in that domain, not a book or a chest. But it's resaonable becouse if someone did't notice it then the domain will dissapear forever. The fight was ok, but I think it was somehow boring... Sethos could have somekinde of a regret but we all know that the writers always aim for a calm ending. It was calm and peaceful as always. But basicaly I don't know more about the characters and about the main sotry.
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 🤷♀️ ok. We see it differently. No problem. And sorry I wrote a mistake. The domain is available after the quest. So it's not a point that they didn't give us a new book or something to read.
I feel akward about the whole "Tighnari's people are called Tighnarians", did the writers really think they wrote something clever with this, and the worst part is that they still say it like "Tie-nari" instead of accurately "Tac-nari". But anyway I'm most happy we atleast got to finally meet Cyrus aka Cyno's former-teacher and parental figure.
