@@Disorder2312 It's a fan animation but the scene did occur in canon, the viewpoint and I think his story quest say that Guyun Stone Fortress area was formed when he threw giant spears at Osial, and the archon form design is guesstimated from his State of the Seven and Venti's archon form in the manga
This is so well drawn. When I saw it in the livestream I had tears in my eyes, been playing Genshin since 1.1. It’s such an honour to be part of this community
I noticed upon closer inspection of its far off 3d model in game that its not actually Celestia, but rather the temple we fought the Unknown God at the beginning of the game. It shares some of the same pillars and architecture as that temple.
2:13 That Khaenri'ah part got me so much.. that Halfdan's face..😭 They was not special people just human being and they fought trying to protect their home and their family even if the enemy was the gods themselves, until the very end... Hope one day we will see more about the past of Khaenri'ha in the future 🙏
And now we know that many of them also tried to stop the Cataclysm, but the gods punished all of them for the sins of a few (probably the leadership and Gold).
This is so epic yet so emotional. Made me realize that the MHY slogan “this world is beautiful” doesn’t mean beauty is already there, but it means that because of people of each nation working together to defend themselves and live out the ages, it has became a beautiful world. Everyone in this world, from archons to humans all have reasons to be remembered and cherished.
Thank you Miota for including all characters who have now rested in peace. This means a lot so much, and they all definitely deserve the love and recognition
@@ranggaisanjayathat's the beauty of his character.He doesn't have to show his powers to prove that he is strong.When the strongest people praise you then you don't have no reason to boast about it. Raiden,Xiao and Diluc would have never had the same appeal if not for their cutscenes where they show their powers.
@@nothmm8582 yeah that what's make zhongli characters so interesting... And one day, when they finally make an epic scene for him, I'm sure, it will break the internet (at least for genshin/hoyoverse game fan)
Definitely the the Best part they showed in livestream yesterday Original music, Official CN VA full of emotion and sadness, thanx to AnMao and all the stuffs from miota studio for months of producing.
Almost…? I can’t hold back my tears when Xiao said : they always said when the time the world is at peace…they want to live among the human. Only General Alatus remains now…all the brothers and sister…brother bosacious…is gone…
I felt very emotional when they showed Greater Lord Rukkhadevata at 2:25. I hope we could at least see some cutscenes of her in the next Archon Quests of Sumeru.
I think she shurnk and became kusanali. Just like aranara when they sacrifice themselves to turn into a seed. If kusanali acquired the knowledge of the irminsul she'll be back as rukkha
Some timestamps for people who might be confused since the voice is in CN, and there are appearances of a few characters that either only appeared in materials outside the game (such as character PVs) or only in in-game text, I'll also list characters that only appeared in character quests, but characters who appeared in the main story (i.e. Archon quests) will be left out. 0:37 spoken by Ayaka 0:45 spoken by Collei 0:53 Venti's backstory, shown in his first character quest 1:00 Raiden's old friends, shown in her PV: Raiden Shogun: Nightmare 1:09 Azhdaha's story, shown in Zhongli's 2nd character quest, the line spoken here is in game but I think the official EN translation might be different 1:44 part of Raiden's 2nd character quest 1:53 Kitsunesaiguu, Raiden's old friend, her story is told in Inazuma's sacred sakura cleansing ritual quest 1:57 Raiden Makoto, her story is told in Raiden's 2nd character quest 2:21 The huge serpent god shown here is likely Chi (not Osial since they are obviously fighting on land) 2:25 Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, you can see grand sage Azar kneeling behind her (her appearance was never described in game so this is how the creator imagined her to be like) 3:11 The blonde girl is likely the Goddess of Flowers, dancing for Rukkhadevata sitting on the throne. The tradition of dancing for the Dendro Archon in the Sabzeruz Festival is likely an effort to recreate this scene. 3:24 The hand on which the Pyre crystalfly landed is probably the Tsaritsa's.
@@clarentbloodarthur8509 yeah, totally not Azar. Greater Lord is from 500 years ago. Grand Sages have the same outfit design throughout the years I guess.
Every single frame with zhongli brought me to tears, especially when Azdaha says his poem about zhongli. This is definitely my fave entry! Thank you so much for creating this Happy 2yr Anniversary Genshin Impact! That scene with Zhongli and the spears behind him.... ahhh so majestic exactly how Azdaha described him to be. EDIT: GUIZHONG 😭
I've never been this much invested in any game's story, characters and their world. Incredible job representing the best parts of Genshin so beautifully.
1:30 "This is the mark of our pledge, and it is also my challenge to you." "All my wisdom is hidden within this stone dumbbell." "If you can unlock it-" Many years passed, and he was never able to unlock that dumbbell, nor would he ever learn what might have followed that sentence. Over the years, the wild Glaze Lilies, too, dwindled till at last they were no more. -Memory of Dust 😢😢😢 Thank you for not forgetting Guizhong. I hope Hoyoverse will give us more lore on Zhongli and Guizhong’s friendship.
We already know pretty much all we need to know about the two. It's very obvious that they both were basically lovers to be, but in a time where it could not blossom. It would be nice to see more about Guizhong herself though.
2:52 Xiao sits on the tree and smiles, guarding the people of qingce village, imagining the scene of the deceased comrades living happily with the people... I'm so sad😭 2:12 The people of k'haenriah fought hard to defend their home, but in the end they failed. The scene of Dainsleif looking at Halfdan's soul is so melancholy...
This is amazing! it summarize everything happened in the past in another perspective! Thank you so much, miota studio for this gift as our genshin 2nd anniversary. This will make people who is heavily deep into lore/stories... to love this about everything that genshin has offer.
@@nethanelmartinezbisono4973 Because this video is more about the Archon War and Cataclysms. I know Cataclysm hit Mondstadt as well but it wasn’t that severe compared to other nations. Overall Mondstadt was peaceful
Time Stamp of some of the events shown . . 0:53 - Venti reminiscing the fall of Decarabian & loss of his friend. 1:01 - Raiden Makoto & her friends (from left to right) Chiyo (Oni), Sasayori (Tengu Warrior), Raiden Makoto, Kitsune Saiguu. 1:07 - Teppei 1:10 - Azhdaha’s two halves reconciling. Jiu (Green Haired child formed from his hatred) and Kun Jun (Male NPC possessed by benevolent consciousness) 1:24 - Zhong Li talking to an old friend about the end of an era. Images of Azhdaha, Guoba (Marchosius, God of Stove), Skybracer, Fallen Yaksha, Guizhong. 1:34 - Raiden Ei preparing to fight the traveler, while reflecting on the losses of the Cataclysm 500 years ago. 1:51 - Kitsune Saiguu’s sacrifice. 1:56 - Raiden Makoto’s sacrifice. 2:00 - The First Yaksha, Bosacius defending the frontline at the Chasm with the Millielith. 2:03 - Bosacius succumbing to his erosion. 2:06 - Khaenri'ah’s Fall & Dainslief’s Order to Halfdan and the Black Serpent Knights to defend it and their people. 2:16 - Rex Lapis vs Chi (or Osial) during the Archon War. 2:25 - Greater Lord Rukkhadevata’s(?) Sacrifice. 2:30 - Xiao, afflicted by his Karma recalling the Fallen Yaksha. 2:34 - The Millelith returning from the frontlines of the Chasm after being ordered to by Rex Lapis. 2:45 - Ei mourning the loss of Makoto. 2:50 - Xiao recalling the Fallen Yaksha wishing to live like mortals after they’re done. 3:04 - Kazuha leaving his past behind. 3:12 - The Dance of Sabzeruz origin, Goddess of Flowers dancing for Greater Lord. 3:20 - A Winter Night’s Lazzo. 3:28 - Karktaka mourning Abattouy. 3:33 - Unnamed Khaenri'ah Child... 3:43 - Kaeya in presumed Dandelion Sea Let me know if I’m wrong/need to edit one of these for lore accuracy!
on 2:34, its more accurate to say they are returning from the fight at the chasm, as you can see they all returned crestfallen and wounded, and zhongli looks mournful from the loss of the first yaksha
I was honestly surprised people even remembered her, since MHY kind of left her lore to the dust after CN + international fujoshi fans' negative reaction to their story. What a shame.
@@yilinglaozu2754 I don’t think any part of community could ever affect their scenario writing. I can imagine Zhongli will have other important legendary quest lore like Venti’s. One of them will be details about Guizhong
Idc if I alr commented twice on this video I can’t- I don’t- understand how a human can create simething so beautiful I bawl my eyes out. This is- I can’t even place words on how amazing this is. The animation is so smooth- it makes any other anime look like a joke- I CANT IM GONNA CRY OVER HOW PERFECT THIS IS 😭😭😭
this is so breathtaking, as someone who’s played since the beginning it’s been quite the experience to see genshin’s story unfold and be a part of every character’s lives. it’s so beautiful thank you so much for making this 💖
C’est magnifique et très émouvant, j’ai faillis laisser couler une petite larme, continue ce que tu fait, tu as un grand talent et je ne me lasserais jamais de tes animations incroyables.
still can't believe it's already been 2 years. Genshin helped me from being lonely during the quarantine and I hope it continues to grow and I'll be waiting until I can finally see Aether and Lumine reunited 😊
I got such goosebumps while watching this there is SO much effort in this video, the directing and storytelling is so wonderful, the music makes me want to cry, the voicelines are perfectly chosen and of course the art is AMAZING all in all it's a masterpiece I can't believe fans made this it blows my mind
Another year another masterpiece. Love how the focus of “Journey with you across the mortal world” is the journey, and the focus of “flickering dust” is the history of the world. It all evokes so much emotions.
I feel like these fan animations show off the world of Genshin more than the actual game does. I'm not saying the game is bad, but we have *A LOT* of backstory and lore from every region which we never get to see because most of it is hidden in item descriptions, NPC dialogue (which I mostly skip over, since it takes so long), or limited-time events like "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms", or "Summertime Odyssey". These fan animations take those lore bits which usually take hours to read, and turn them into short animations like this. Which is what Hoyoverse SHOULD be doing if they want their playerbase to be fully *immersed* in the world that they created, because sometimes I forget just how serious the lore is when Paimon starts talking about wanting to eat food every story quest.
Well these are the scenes that happened in past, it is the story of past. And from great sacrifices of others our characters moved on and living their life. And main thing is that we also started our journey in peaceful times in tevyat. But don't worry as nahida said everything in this world runs in loop and that's for you to find out unfolding the past events of tevyat, so very soon we might see these events happening in tevyat because of Tsaritsa and harbingers plan to bring back the old world back.
broo i agree soo much 😭. this could've been so amazing if they uploaded it on the official channel and do more story animations like these for hidden lores
The single, most Beautiful telling of Genshin Lore to date! A pure Masterpiece! Thank you so much! When this came up on the Bilibili livestream...I was in tears by the end... Just...WOW...
3:11 So that's the God of Flowers whom Nilou mentioned, and she's having a dancing show to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. Pretty neat fan art of her despite we only know what clothes and outfits she's wearing.
This is unbelievably good, it's so good that I literally cried when dain part came....ppl say genshin is just a game even if it is it contains a story that's deeper than the ocean. Thank you for creating this Masterpiece
Was waiting for this to be uploaded!! This is definitely your best work yet. I loved every second of it and will be replaying it every day from now on 😆
I've rewatched this atleast three times and it pulls tears out of me every time. I love the choices made in terms of showing the story like, it hits some of the key notes so beautifully. Nothing but applause for SUCH a STELLAR piece of animation!
I honestly need more of zhongli cutscenes. Not fan-animation but actual canon by genshin. The fan animation are already sooo good and make me wanna see him fight. I really want to see archon Morax and Barbatos in combat.(we have already heard and seen a lot of raiden shogun)
not gonna lie... I cry every time I saw this video, I don't know why but the music, the scenes, and the voices... all of them just make me so emotional. Thank you for this amazing masterpiece!
Which all that is happening it is just fitting for the 2nd anniversary to not be a celebration, but a remembering time for everything. If the anime was not going to Ufotable, you guys would definetely do that
Это просто шикарно. Одно из лучших творений по Геншину что я видел. Очень ностальгическое видео по всем драматическим историям. Анимация и музыкальное сопровождение поражает и вызвало у меня незабываемые эмоции. Судя по началу названия это возможно видео для конкурса по 2ой годовщине. Я уже не впервые вижу это название в квадратных скобках. Если так то желаю победы.
This animation is making the lore I watch make sense, for example kaeya looking at celestia, venti being a betrayer, the maiden from the abandoned shrine revealing herself. This gon be interesting Ho~Ho~
