100 Fun Details In All Genshin Impact Character's Demos

[@loventi7640]

at 38:50 i just realized when cyno says "every soul will be weighed" might be referencing to egyptian mythology, where in the afterlife they weigh your heart on a scale against a feather, in which cyno is holding a feather right before that scene!

[@prenyan919]

14:18 Xiao’s Name being shattered could reference the fact that Xiao isn’t his real name. Xiao was the name given by Zhongli after he saved Xiao from a god who abused him. His real name is Alatus, revealed in his Character Lore and the Perilous Trail Event… 23:04 43:18 Raiden’s and Wanderer’s Demos have a similar format, possibly for the fact that both are “related”: + Starting and Ending with a Bird segment, with a Crow for Raiden and a Finch for Wanderer… + Many Glitch effects throughout the Demos but become most apparent after the Burst Cast and beat drop…

[@bunyumie]

his real name isnt alatus actually, thats his title.

[@lostblueboy]

​@@bunyumie his real name is actually alatus. Sure it may be a title but that is his given name. General alatus is his title. All the other yakshas also have their real name as their titles. Xiao is his chinese, zhongli given name. And conqueror of demons is his adepti name.

[@christbenitez8797]

Raiden and fujin in the Japanese mythology

[@squidhatonaglobe4030]

@@lostblueboy Was it outright stated its his real name though? Liloupar said that yakshas and jinn are bound to whoever they give their real name to. Since zhongli gave xiao a new name to 'protect himself' I find it hard to believe he goes around saying his real name like that

[@lostblueboy]

@@squidhatonaglobe4030 yes his real name is alatus. Like everyone else, he was also given a name by someone. But officially confirmed for now his real name is alatus, xiao is a nickname I guess that liyueans call him

[@iymimi]

The “it takes two to tango” is just a common phrase we use in English…it translate to “it takes two to dance” as well. Tango in the demo wasn’t talking real tango dance.

[@VeraExora]

I think the reason she says "It takes two to Tango" was because the way Amber asked the question implied that she was worried Eula had gotten into a fight. The phrase "It takes Two to Tango" is usually meant used to describe that you wont get into an argument if you dont argue, but Eula uses it as a pun in this case.

[@guacamole11]

During Childe's demo there is a female treasure hoarder that uses an axe that is not in the game but is very similar to the female eremite with the same weapon

[@txtp]

it actually is in the game, though only in the 2.4 lantern rite event with collecting the remnants of the jade chamber.

[@hauntinqghost]

im pretty sure we also get a little glimpse of Snezhnaya right when childes demo starts

[@lostmyname1874]

It is , with some other higher "rank" treasure hoarders guys. As some mentioned before me, it was in 2.4.

[@yukifuki1621]

Also, in Chasm surface there is the World quest where you help some Millelith at raiding a treasure hoarder hideout, and at the end you fight waves of them consequently, one of them is a female treasure hoarder (the Boss of that Group) so there is a female who we can fight in permanent content

[@beneustache2629]

It's fun how Liyue's trailers have much more references to ancient culture/mythology. It likely is the region Hoyoverse chose to develop the most. The company is chinese so it makes sense, but at the same time it makes me almost sad that they don't put more attention into other region's background.

[@____ala5443]

Well to be fair, they did justice to other regions when it comes to references from places, names, npcs clothes, festivals, some tradition, and the best one is music. But they must gave their region some *special* treatment, and i don't mind as long as it's good (and it is good, heck i want to experience every year lantern rite and learn more about the adepti and the story of guili)

[@yukinna-jiejie]

Actually no, they may give perahps a but more attention to liyue but they still do ALOT for other regions like mond and its architecture matching with germany and the church of fav is also a reference. Venti him self is a reference to bards Inazuma ofc shogun and samurai’s the enemy samurais we fight are also references. Sumeru dessert is a reference and its egyptian theme is a reference and its quite accurate. All the sumeru characters are references to multiple figures in whatever culture[s] they were inspired from

[@yukinna-jiejie]

@@camelliablaehaewen6041 i doubt that, they do very through research

[@yalocaldex]

@@yukinna-jiejie I mean it could even cause controversy and they might even get sued for it so why even bother...you're saying it like it's an easy work......culture/mythology are very hard to learn since it has been made or told probably a 1000 years ago so it's not easy to study every region's culture and history.....that why we even have major in culture for each country at university

[@Sofis-yd8lb]

They do a pretty good job in every region. Liyue is the most noticeable one because of Chinese culture being more known in general (and also the fact that they are threatened by the government if they don’t do a good job lol)

[@adiaphoros6842]

Kundala can also mean “beat” or “fight,” since the Anemo Hilichurl Rogue says “dada kundala,” which means “good fight,” upon death.

[@hail_karMa]

Anemo Hilichurl says gg after every match. Anemo Hilichurl is a good sport. Be like Anemo Hilichurl.

[@deen2235]

I have watched Klee's demo countless times and I can't believe I didn't notice Jean and Razor

[@vanjansampath5753]

I think kokomi doesn't fly but it's more like she floats, like a bubble. Remember even in the main story quest, when she first appears she floats down to the battle field dramatically. Also the fish in the box is most likely kokomi magic as well as she as a strategist comes up with the battle plan and then forwards the message to gorou her general. The box with the fish seems like a fool proof fast way of sending messages that couldn't be leaked and are free from any intervention from other people.

[@keitokarl]

yea it mirrors a phone/walkie talkie to send out plans in war

[@ooochoa]

Maybe is not that she is flying, but rather walking on the water that is on the air.

[@d1ce390]

Fish book

[@spartantraveler7251]

The two tails in Diona's outfit may be because she herself has a tail, yet normal employees do not, so another tail was added in addition to the normal single tail.

[@allenor26]

Makes sense

[@LilySiti]

About Kaveh's demo 48:11 , there was a scene of the Sumeru Bird while Kaveh is in the background which I interpret as Nahida (as heavily implied in Nahida's story quest twice)

[@borealernadelwald]

One more detail in Alhaitham's demo: Cyno's cup moves from his right to his left, closer to where Alhaitham sits. And at the end Alhaitham says: "Boss, this is good wine. I'll have the same, please." Meaning he drank from Cyno's cup at some point.

[@saraannriiko]

LMFAO THATS HILARIOUS

[@f.b.lagent1113]

Tighnari, Alhaitham, Cyno and Kaveh are basically Genshin’s “the boys”

[@cipherdotmeta]

32:48 Only once I saw rain in the city, it was when Shenhe got released. During her quest, when you talk with Cloud Retainer, it starts raining. Right after talking with her, I entered the city immediately just curious if the rain would stop, to my surprise, it didn't. I had a video in my first account but I accidentally deleted it, BUT in my second account, I took some pictures! 💪 I still have them.

[@GuobaChad]

At 10:00 in the right, it can be seen the viewpoint is not activated. Also, in Collected Miscellany - "Hu Tao: Fragrance in Thaw" at 4 : 35, Zhongli can be seen walking in the back Btw nice video dude.

[@emivoters]

i thought that was qiqi at first 😭

[@KilianO-o]

4:35

[@frugalfun2.07]

44:46 Qiqi apearing on character demos just reminding you who is going to appear when you lose your 50/50 😅

[@xanderchan4176]

Since all of the waypoints are gone in the demos I know its just the aesthetics but I like to image its because maybe either the characters of teyvat can't see them or use them in lore as my tiny head cannon

[@IceHeartAlpha]

i think the only one that comment about them are katherine in inazuma , when you ask if shes only one one or multiple, she says something like “dont you use the waypoints as well?”

[@Anish_B]

If I am not wrong, the theory is they know they exist but dont know how to use them

[@xanderchan4176]

@@Anish_B Traveller to everyone else : novices 😜 (Nah but that’s a funny theory)

[@Demo_emo]

btw, in ayato's demo sayu was there when ayato sent his agents and they went jumping, also sayu was there another time in the end ig when she was doing her cute idle animation

[@farhanatashiga3721]

I think gnik's mission with this video is to showcase the less obvious tidbits

[@secondaccount5832]

I would like to point out that in Dehya’s trailer, her punching a fellow Eremite was repeated. That scene was repeated probably because of Candace seeing the future. Candace said that her amber eye can see the future so it might referencing it in Dehya’s demo. That’s why the second that punching scene appeared, Candace interrupts the battle because she have seen it beforehand.

[@kison7715]

out of nowhere Gnik dropping a new video like primordial one dropping a divine nail

[@keitokarl]

yea it hits hard, everything would change

[@Crimson-Hat]

The one time rain fell in cities was in the rebuilding the jade chamber quest the night before the battle. The entire map from Mondstadt to Inazuma was under constant rainfall including the cities. I assume it would apply to all the new 3.0+ areas too. Maybe even the desert.

[@callmegeniusok]

Waited so long for this... Thanks for taking the time to make this awesome video, and I can't wait to watch it!

[@monke3969]

44:56 She must’ve struggled finding the dew for Baizhu this entire time

[@AlexanderXion]

I thoughr Gnik gonna tell us the name of Aranaras appeared in Nahida's demo. Hahahaha. Well. Great job man. Worthy 49 minutes in my life

[@Azatora]

During Rosaria's demo I thought Rosaria was secretly guarding Barbara but now I realize that she's actually hiding from her and Barbara was actually searching for Rosaria by asking Huffman lmao

[@charaselect]

At 41:16 the aranara in the back becomes thinner to hide from Nahida.

[@preserverofcoconutmilk756]

I didn’t even notice Qiqi making a cameo in Yaoyao’s demo. Thanks for the video!

[@lemonstarboo]

"Well, that's not how to hold a pen" Baizhu: As long as not patched, will have to work Changsheng: c o n c e r n

Thank you Gnik, I thoroughly enjoyed the details in this video! Keep up the good work!!

To add to Itto's demo, the statue in game actually has a chunk taken out of it.

43:22 STOP- WANDERER IT’S THE HUMAN FORM OF “error 💔”

[@Gilgamesh_Servant]

Qiqi and Klee probably has the most appearance on demos

[@Creamy_ExePlayer]

-Klee's demo: Ye, i watched it again and again but because of the chaos in the background, i barely notice Jean and Razor were there. Also it's really fit with the meme "UNTOUCHABLE, UNTOUCHABLE" -Yelan's demo: I really laughed out loud with the part "she blocked the arrow by his... " Oh well :v -Tighnari's demo: The crying fungus, poor him. But you know what? FOR NAHIDA -Cyno's demo: LMAO, i already knew this gonna happen. Definitely Mihoyo would give some references to Yugioh series -Nahida's demo: Honestly, the detail of no one narrates Nahida's demo and all is just her dream... That's sad to be honest

[@HearthOfAngel]

That must have been so much work but GG and thanks i enjoyed it!

[@bukkchickenbukk]

well, the traveler fought the millelith a second time on the surface if the chasm accidentally when they thought that they were treausre hoarders in a world quest.

30mill views, only 10 people noticed the npc sitting in the air in zhongli trailer😂

10:58 weren't that chanting because Zhongli definitely supposed to have auto geo infusion in early beta explaining he chant for those infusion. But removed at final. Not that it was totally removed, he still has split scaling residue since his sign weapon doesn't fit current him at all

[@adventurousyi306]

9:37 to the right behind zhongli i think that's a viewpoint!😂

[@fjoylla]

Kokomi can't fly, she's just swimming in the air

[@krys9463]

3:57 its official that building is guarded by gay lions 🤣 But seriously I started watching a Chinese youtuber and because of one of their videos I noticed that detail pretty quickly, now I wonder why. Then again like everything else in this game Genshin has Genshin mythology that often only slightly looks like cultures from our world. (Either that or the lion thing was them being slightly rebellious)

[@chipsbag]

37:20 perhaps the NPC is already "dead" Hence the disappearing sword, and instead of fading away Mihoyo placed a unique animation on him for this demo

[@Frosty-Iruma1969]

LMAO KOKOMI FLYING I LOVE IT YELAN BLOCKING THE ARROW WITH HIS ASS I CANT

in fischls demo, the cutscene changes because in every electro characters skill or burst the sky turns dark. lisa and razors skill sky turns purple

17:14 i think eula used tango as in the idiom "two to tango" meaning she wants to dance with amber, not the literal tango dance style.

[@gortcapybara6982]

Alhaitham's trailer: they are playing Genius Invocation TCG, the (apparently) only existing card game in Teyvat.

[@kingalex105x7]

in zhongli's trailer you can also see a viewpoint in the distance by the bridge, so his entire trailer was made in the game engine

[@chocolaitine]

31:25, I think the texts are always in the same place, it is just that one time she holds the book one way, and the other time the other way around, you can see that if you pay attention to the side where you actually open the book. It doesn't solve the fact that she keeps changing the way she holds the book 😂

The cameraman really wanted one of the monks to lose their balance by filming them really close

[@hardinihernusa1117]

At 7:01 i think its a foreshadowing Kirara's kind, but there are some holes in this theory, for example : Why the Cats tail of all places in teyvat? Kirara is Inazuman, is she acquainted with Mondstadt taverns? Is there a connection that Kirara has with Diona, Like distant relatives or is their kind friends or has connections with the other? Is Kirara even involved? As such i declare this theory as "Potential". Theory dismissed

[@saraannriiko]

If you listen closely to Wanderer’s demo music, you can hear Latin singing. It’s a ref to his boss fight’s theme which has much clearer singing.
