I am going to be doing Kafka pulls on Wednesday at 8PM EST over on Twitch!!! LET'S SEE HOW MANY COPIES WE CAN GET OF OUR MOTHER!! www.twitch.tv/minaaoyama
@@StreamerOfTheCentury The beginning Part is actually "Winter" from "The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, if I am remembering correctly Edit: My bad that is just a different name for the same piece lol
Blade's trailer was the best they had done. And now this one is the best they've done. Also the song is Vivaldi's "Winter", out of the Four Seasons concerto
At this point, HoYoVerse is going to be the leading vanguard in the music industry by revolutionizing classical music, and bringing them to another level. Kafka's trailer soundtrack is one of the most perfect and noticable examples for that. Not to mention the perfect usages of colors, spiders, rose petals, and other elements in this one adds to the mysterious atmosphere around Kafka, and that deadly beautiful aura that she emits.
yeaa the reinterpretation of classical songs from hoyo-mix is suchh a jam - fusing EDM & classical, 2 things I love + the mixing (from audio engineering standpoint) is just... wow! I'd argue the mixing it's miles better than Genshin OSTs p.s.: I got a new set of Bose latest QC Ultra headphones - the bass reproduction is insaneee during the drop, I legit was immersed into the trailer 😂
I don't usually talk to myself, but when the kabedon happened, I literally, vocally, went "me next?" >.< miHoYo trailers are too powerful. I have no idea how they consistently manage to put out such good trailers every couple of weeks for 3 separate games o_o
1:52. I doubt anyone remembers this but during the shot of kafka using threads there was a character from an anime called Needless who's name was also Kafka and he had the power to use strings like a weapon his power was called Kandata Strings.
I mean, Blade's character quest told us that Kafka was a master assassin who joined the Stellaron Hunters because Elio told her that following him would eventually make her actually experience fear, which until now is something she's never felt and desires to feel.
Glad i got into HSR over the last couple of weeks because I pretty much got into it because of Kafka *cough Mommy. But yeah i cannot wait to start pulling for her, been saving quite a bit for it as well.
@@_dxksh did you use anything on other banners or use jades on standard banner because 2 weeks with main and side quests is plenty of time to get 14,4k stellar jade also 10 free tickets from login
@@Deathclaw6364 Nah, i haven't used anything at all, but I'm stuck on boulder Town, can't find the mine cart parts to progress. Also, for some reason, after i re-downloaded HSR (my phone crashed after some time for some reason every time before when i tried to play it) so now, I don't even have access to the daily login warps😭😭😭
@@_dxksh well I don't know what is with the crashing issue but the minecart part of the story will have a quest marker and even if you can't find the cart follow the rails it drives on and besides Kafkas banner stays 30 days even if you restart from scratch now you'd realistically get her before it leaves
Why was this so much better than my hyper inflated expectations? Not in a million years did I think I'd be even more sold on a character I picked up the game for. (months in advance of her release btw).
It's the first time for me in a Hoyoverse character demo/trailer where a character's voice gives a very significant impact in the watching experience in the most pleasing way. God bless her EN VA.
This is the 20th time I've seen this, and I still get chills hearing "Wasn't it you... Who INVITED me?" And then the beat drop. Uughh. Hits me as hard as "Elio didn't put it in the script...so it doesn't MATTER!!"
Dude, the fuckin Vivaldi sold this trailer for me. I knew I loved Kafka ever since I picked up the game for the first time, but by God, making her a classical music enjoyer is one of the best design choices I've ever seen.
I literally subbed to you just to see this reaction video LOL I dont think ive been this hyped for a character in a gacha in a long time like I started playing HSR for Kafka
I swear Chad Stahelski directed this trailer I mean from the action choreography to the use of Vivaldi's four seasons, she literally became John wick in this trailer
There are many things I like in the trailer, and one of them is the use of Macguffin, Non-linear structure, and Oneiric structure(the 3 words that flash in the trailer).
@@SabeehaFarheen Macguffin - an object or device in a movie or a book that serves merely as a trigger for the plot. This would most probably be Kafka breaking/exiting the Belobog Museum(I doubled checked, unless they just reusing assets) Non-linear structure - storytelling technique in which a narrative is told out of chronological order. If you pay attention, Kafka direction of escaping isn't linear, the start of it has her already at the museum ground floor walking towards the exit and the elevator going down midway into the video. Oneiric structure - cinematic story using dream-like visuals, exploring the structure of dreams, memories, and human consciousness. All those cool visual effect whenever she takes control of the guards as well as the Roschach ink test similar to a spider.
@@giandarc8297 Dang I never noticed that in the trailer. I'm so happy they are implementing both classical music and film terms in her trailer adds so much more to her personality. Thank you for explaining.
i think they were dropping hints of us going back to belobog potentially? the projector they use looks like the same one from the museum (i could easily be wrong and just over thinking) also ARF ARF ARF WOOF BARK GRRRRRR WOOF AWOOOOOOOOO BARK BARK
Hi mina!!!! The piece is four seasons by vivaldi, and despite what some people may think, it is a baroque era piece, not a classical era piece. I believe its specifically Winter.
Goodluck to everyone who is pulling for Kafka don't lost your 50 60 to anyone bro song it makes me feel powerful 😅 bro i will whale for her if i don't get her i don't care how much money i spent i want her i will do anything for her
For anyone curious, the song is Vivaldi - Four seasons, obviously hoyo remix it and made it fantastic. Curious note, same song was used on one of John Wick movies if I'm not mistaken Edit: wanted to add, they took a lot of inspiration in 40's Mafias movies, Godfather, John Wick and Black Widow to make this trailer and blended it with psychological themes so well, probably Hoyo's best trailer so far!
Ahhhh i knew youd make a reaction for the trialer as i just watch it a few minutes ago and i saw this ahhhhh kafka hope yall get kafka to come home. That end though normal anime would put their hands against the wall but kafka went ahead and place her whole foot on the wall ahh the hype XD
On my third rewatch and I just noticed how the floor indicators on the elevator is basically referencing how many guards were left on the corridor as Kafka was going John Wick on them one by one LMAO
Something i noticed. When Kafka is on a mission she is wearing make up and lenses, but on that clip on her lying down (0:40 of the trailer), She wears no make up and with no eye lenses
I love how they show her without makeup a little, clearly hinting that we don't know much about Kafka and her real self. I hope her companion quest will tell us more about her
Hoyoverse knew exactly what they were doing when they made kafka, we all knew exactly that they knew exactly what they were doing, and they knew exactly that we all knew exactly that they knew exactly what they were doing
also at least e2 for kafka. i have been saving since i started this darn game! i mean i roll for banners here and there but never hard (hardest ive rolled for was 50 for yukong and 30 for sushang light cone) im ready for this banner. currently at 252, i aiming for 260 before she actually goes live
I started playing just for her 2 weeks ago, but don't have enough even for a 50/50😭😭 Hope she comes with what i have🤞🤞 Also, how do you get the mine cart parts in Boulder town?
@@_dxksh its been a while so i may be misinterpreting this but is that the part where you have the findie device? if so just keep using it until you find the parts. it points you to the right direction
Antonio Vivaldi- Winter with other parts of his "the four seasons" classical piece dispersed within aswell. I really hope Hoyoverse releases this rendition of it tho since it is sick.
The ending where it build up with them drums and 🎻 *ViVALDI* 🎻goes dog mode gives me the feeling of *SPEED.* Which is *IRONIC* since she benefits from speed. 😏
Ok but, why is Kafka so italian coded XD The 4☆ lightcone with her on it is called "Fermata" which would be "Stop" as in a bus stop or a train stop On her character preview you can read "Nessun Dorma" on one picture which is the title of an Italian opera song, in english it would be "Let no one sleep" And now Vivaldi in her trailer? What's happening here XD
The theme fits her,the LSD induced shots makes sense since she uses hypnosis and is presented as a manipulator. This is basically a gacha black widow trailer
I think you nailed with the KDA reference - the vibe is very similar to their song "villain". And yes, I also love that song. Her JP voice is even better tho, imho I pulled and got her. Mostly because she is freaking Kafka and also a role I havent had yet for my team comps.
The trailer exceeded my expectations can't wait to pull on her banner tomorrow... I can't get several copies but I could be convinced to get her lightcone in a moment of weakness...
Only just realised, did they change her ult line back to it's original? "Now then, where are you hiding?" Got changed to "Time to say bye," during beta. Now it's been reverted (yay!)
