I love it because the whale isn’t from teyvat, and parts of the track don’t sound like anything we have heard in the game yet. Since I played HSR the dude in the whale’s stomach didn’t have an unfamiliar feeling, but the music really did great at making it feel new. (I am aware that the HSR/Honkai universe is likely connect to genshin’s, which is why I’m not too upset at Skirk’s honkai-like design. I think it’s rather cool and a good way to hint at theories with out confirming nor denying.)
@@gigyrothey are all connected, in the lore the worlds (teyvat, hi3s world and i think the different places star rail goes to, though i could be wrong on that one) are separate "leaves" on the imaginary tree. I doubt the rest of the universe will interact much with genshin though
A chill rpg with cosmic horrors, human experimentation, creatures from the void, political drama, cannibalism and lots and lots of orphans for some reason
@@rootiyk5032 And don't forget the torture... Aether has already been tortured twice in Inazuma. By Ei and by Scaramouche.. I don't wanna see any scenes like that again 😭 I felt so bad.
Thats actually me, people said it was similar to zelda and I completely forgot about dark zelda games and was like, oh wow lots of bright colours, must be similar to minish cap, and then I downloaded the game and the cosmic entity is just like “hey” 💀
People who hate it as a waifu game are missing out on some good story. While the writing is a bit on the meh side (Paimon’s constant exposition) it helps those who might not have been lore players catch up quickly with out having to really replay the whole thing.
@@Glaycierthe writing is very good, but there are things that kind of hamper it from the amount of lore it has that can get confusing to Aether being silent most of the time that takes away from his character
headcanon: The Narwhal is from our world and was normal before somehow breaking the laws of everything and appearing in space land or whatever and eating all that Primordial Water turned him into the All-Devouring Narwhal.
You're out at sea, in a small boat. A storm is brewing. The boat is shaky. It's a game of hide and seek, although which one of you is the hunter is not certain. All you know is... the leviathan beckons. Harpoons at the ready. Let's get this thing.
Getting to this part of Genshin gave me the same vibes as getting to Upper Cathedral Ward in Bloodborne. Just an encounter with something unfathomable that doesn't belong in this world.
I love this song so much ... the lingering danger, the occasional warped singing of a whale breaking through yet another reality. You can feel it lurking in the dark, waiting to get through you, to devour you whole. To invite you to join an epic rave party in its innards.
Fun fact: when this boss dropped it also came with the option to lower the difficulty 💀 (And me being a traveler main with the shogun, Xinjiang, and Ayaka on my team I did it on the higher difficulty)
Oh they didn’t. When I do one of these, I usually loop it a couple times so people that wish to listen to it again don’t have to just hit replay, which also can save them from having ads sometimes.
@@voidclaw1508 i think there no name for the song which is Im searching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zkl5xYRA6p8.html&si=eY3ano_wQni3glVw
Waste of music for such an uninspired boss. Random person shows up and says "oh, it's just my master's pet that got hungry, lol", then proceeds to shove it into some pokeball like it was nothing. Way to deflate conflict, excitement, and to strip the situation from any gravitas while somehow managing to go full Dragonball ridiculous power level scale, all in one fell swoop. I initially thought the girl was an agent of Celestia that came down to Tyevat because the throne of hydro had been destroyed, which would have been really cool. Instead it was just the DMPC from a bad Dungeons and Dragons campaign showing off how cool they are while the players do nothing and watch the DMPC save the day.
Right? Sucks that the part I was most excited about ended up being the most disappointing. Yeah this world ending calamity we’ve been building up to for a whole arc was never really a threat at all, it was actually just some guy’s pet
@@Corviidei The fight was a little underwhelming for sure. Beautiful spectacle of a fight though. But honestly, the fact that Skirk quite evidently saw the Narwhal as an inconvenience and a bad pet, and calling Childe holding off the Narwhal to avert catastrophe a "brawl" gave me the impression that Skirk was on another level of personal power, which gave her a completely different perception of the Narwhal's (and by extension, Childe's) strength. Which is backed up by Childe's voicelines about her and his attempts to beat her in combat. In this sense, it wasn't that the Narwhal was weak, it was just the perspective of someone far stronger. Its actions were more an inconvenience to her, an almost alien attitude, which imo plays in to that otherworldly feel of her design. That doesn't lessen the threat it posed to Fontaine and the people residing within it - it was still a threat. One thing I found interesting though that nobody seems to be talking about, is that she noted we defeated the Narwhal without having Abyssal Power. Despite her attitude toward the Narwhal she still acknowledged when someone took it down using only elemental power.
The boss that was pretty much the cause of the Fontaine flood and a Master of Childe being even stronger and more intimidating shows she’s not just a “random person” but sure lol
@@jeffali5157 she's a random person as far as storytelling is concerned, same as the pet. She could be friggin' God, and it wouldn't matter. It stands that her entrance was an objectively hamfisted and cheap way to introduce a new character and end a story: no foreshadowing, no thematic relevance, a trivial and anti-climactic solution to the current conflict, and dumb power levels straight out of the late part of DragonBall, that massively cheapen the stakes, and make anyone who isn't a 10 yo laugh their ass off at the whole situation. Then again, the story itself had a hilariously poorly thought foundation, this was just the proverbial log on top of the massive mud pie. Not blaming you for liking you, mind you, just blaming the writers for falling into such cliché pitfalls, that have no business existing in modern stories.
@@transient_moonlight Dude, Childe literally mentioned his master at the start of the Fontaine quest so there was some foreshadowing and wasn’t random unless you forgot. I will admit how the narwhal part was taken care of so fast was a bit cheap but we all know this isn’t the last we’ll see of her so she’s gonna have more semblance to the story and if the narwhal was that powerful, imagine if we have to fight her. And the story of Fontaine was by far the most thought of foundation of all the nations, Inazuma for what it did in the end was the worst one by far. But I respect your opinion. It’s all subjective in the end
