A few months ago I started singing along to that 6 note motif with the lyrics "genshin combat motif" in my head every time it plays and now I can't stop lol...
Fontaine's doesn't rlly count. It's not really similar at all. I don't understand how people hear it considering how that melody is used a lot outside of genshin.
1:08 The battle theme used in the rainforest area is low-pitched woodwind instruments. On the other hand, the battle theme of the desert area is that the woodwind instrument is high-pitched, so I thought it would go well with the recorder. Of course, not only the above reasons, but also the order of the music, the use of the same instrument, etc., so the 1:08 music finally used a desert area OST, not a rain forest area OST.
