20 Hidden References in Genshin Impact You Might Miss

[@pripripriscilla1897]

There's also the achievement "The Final Fonta Sea" which is clearly a pun on Final Fantasy and to get all 3 tiers of the achievement you need to do it 16 times, which references the 16 main installments of FF

[@ronnachaiaramraks3336]

How​ to.do that​?

[@_YakshaXiao_]

​@@ronnachaiaramraks3336you can search for the quest, there are videos about it, but in short you have to fill the fonta cup and drink the fonta from the machine at the research institute 16 times

It took 5 years for someone to FINALLY point out Athos, Porthos and Aramis! The Three Musketeers was one of my favorite books and I was so sad very few players noticed these three. (I don't even think they are or were? in the wiki)

[@arunab7698]

but genshin's only been here for 4 years??

I think childe as a whole(or the golden house battle atleast) is a reference to dante, his phases, is like dante's forms, his normal form(the human), his delusion state(devil trigger), and his foul legacy(SDT). He could also swap weapons(much like dante, though dante has like......a lot), he has a royal guardlike shield on his first and second phase, he is quite playful on his early phase and gets agressive as the fight progress and when he uses foul legacy he takes the fight seriously. Much like how dante only use his demon form(specifically his sin devil trigger), when his serious or his backs against the wall. And he has mastery on all weapons(except bow), much like dante who has mastery on all devil arms he get....and they are both hot😉

[@LeafTanuki009]

the NPC hosting the Windtrace Event, Gygax, is referencing Gary Gygax, the creator of the one of the most famous Tabletop Games in the world, Dungeons & Dragons.

[@AllMightyKingBowser]

It is blatantly obvious and impossible to miss, but I love the reference to Star Wars with the achievement "UNLIMITED POWER". It is when you first unlock Electro Traveler, and it is obviously a reference to Palpatine and his Force Lightning. I love it because it is so simple yet genius at the same time.

[@gasselik]

There is a daily quest in Inazuma about a boy who wants that the archon grants him a wish, after you place the correct item on both shrines the boy says that is wish come true that is favorite novel artist dropped 3 chapter but for that he takes 3 weeks of pause, one of the traveler response is "balanced as it should be". In the imaginarium theater if you interact with the wardrobe Paimon asks what things are in there and traveler respond "maybe there is a lion from another world"

[@suraali8469]

Zaha Hadi in Kaveh's Hangout was a Reference to the Real Life Late Architect Zaha Hadid

[@freshaccount4709]

Yeah and she's a very well known Architect specially for her curved designs

[@fatamorgana0094]

> Thumbnail showing Dante ( DmC ) > Anime > Ah, we anime now.

[@D.W.M.T.Y.A.W._CheckAbout_]

DMC has an anime, so it’s technically correct still.

[@Rebiox78]

Steal a soul for a second chance

[@MaxWeb2599]

During the quest where you unlock I think tsurumi island in inazuma the npc mentioned a book named "Kinos Travel", which is an reference to the Manga/anime "Kinos journey". That was the reason many fans thought it would give an official colab like Aloys.

[@freshaccount4709]

Honestly thank you very much for these videos, I love videos which talk about details

[@D.W.M.T.Y.A.W._CheckAbout_]

Honestly, what’s an even cuter kind of nod is that the JP VA’s for Sora and Roxas/Ventus, is respectively Cyno and Razor. Sora, Cyno. Roxas/Ventus, Razor.

[@stevem.9340]

I'm waiting for Hailey and Jesse to make their voices appear in Genshin for the English dub,

[@D.W.M.T.Y.A.W._CheckAbout_]

@@stevem.9340 that, would be even cooler. But I won’t lie, I would love a Roxas costume for Aether just so that we could have Jesse McCartney Battle quotes. “READY?!”

[@markyuanyusi7009]

Arlecchino's Red Wing resembles Sephiroth, The One Winged Angel

[@Aozora210]

Sprinkled around the Aranara-related quests and hidden achievements were some references to my favorite band Sound Horizon (it's helmed by the same guy who made Linked Horizon, the one who made AoT OP/EDs, except Sound Horizon is for his personal works/OCs instead of collab on anime and games) and it goes really hard for the tiny venn diagram of Genshin fans and SH fans I had to write it on the wiki myself detailing all of it 😂 Love to see these kind of videos! Some people said Genshin's imitating HSR for referencing popular medias but if you just look closely, the amount of references in Genshin are never ending. Tech otakus do be tech otakus, after all.

[@am_9944]

been playing since day 1 and tbh never notice these are awesome thank you !

[@22yohanne]

If you explore in underwater Petracore, there are some mini-squid game challenges among the sea creatures

[@toraryugraphiperso3411]

The transformation of tartaglia looks like Saint Seiya transformation

[@Pew-l7k]

4:04 how cute 😊❤️

[@xiaoronex]

I knew that greatsword looks familiar! No wonder it's a reference to the buster sword!

[@jjaybuill3685]

About Fischl VA Chuunibyou characters Rikka and Ranko Ranko also feels very similar

[@trollcreativestudios1084]

FATE REFFERENCES: - aranara quest final fight is heavily refferenced from heavens feel - sword graveyard in dadaupa gorge refferences unlimited blade works - Jean and Noelle are refferences to Saber, Noelle even has giant glowing yellow sword, Jean constellation is lion and Saber has connection to lions as well - Childe is refference to archer class - Ningguang is refference to Gilgamesh and even used Gates of Babylon in a quest related to Shenhe... whose japanese VA is Saber VA - Mona looks and behaves like Rin

[@multibrandan]

I honestly would’ve thought you’d say Tartaglia had a similar reference to Issei from DxD lol. As for Fischl, I think of her as being an extremely close resemblance to not only Rikka but also Megumin from KonoSuba. But the JoJo pose! I never saw that coming I was laughing and internally screamed “JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJO!” Awesome video. I hope you do the rest of the characters. (Extra comment) in the simulanca event I literally saw a reference to a favorite Tom Hanks movie. You’ll know it if you find it. I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone that hasn’t found it yet. I loved that Easter egg.

[@gzsofi5]

Childe is my favorite character from the game and because of this reference, I wanted to play with Devil May Cry. Also, in the third phase of his boss battle, where he uses his Foul Legacy, the music is much like the DMC OST called Burry the Light. Especially the one from the Genshin Concert version - that was the time when I realized this. Go check it out - it will blow your mind. Even the lyrics are fit to his battle-hungry side.

[@stormer2349]

Pretty cool. Genshin also love their Lucasfilm references. There are a lot of Star Wars and even some Indiana Jones references in the game.

[@leshou907]

Genshin never fails with their references

[@hijiri0794]

4:01 This here remid me more of king Arthur and the sword in stone.

[@ankurraina2730]

Need more videos like this, perhaps you should also change how the captions look but thats just my personal opinion.

[@HikaruAkitsuki]

Raiden's Burst is from Guilty Crown but Guilty Crown concept is from Shining Hearts x Tears.

[@bjarne4108]

dmc vergil reference is actually more apparent in their older game hi3, try check yae sakura unforgotten apostle

[@gamerockz2141]

Razor's entire kit is from Nero in Devil May Cry 4/5

[@AlunaScape]

Good vids! And you can improve the design of the text box so it appears better aesthetically :)

[@hayeonkim7838]

Thanks for so interesting and valuable video! ❤❤❤

[@dreamday988]

xingqiu’s swords are literally the exact same as Vergil’s summoned mirage swords from DMC 🤟🏻

[@vunamanh2904]

Maybe it’s too obvious so no one mention it, I still want to point it out. In the left of Mondstadt main gate, there’s a family whose names are Parsley, Sage and Rosemary. I can’t find where’s the fourth person whose name is supposed to be Thyme, but this is a reference to the song Scarborough Fair

[@sentience3033]

2:02 Ayaka also says that too if I remember

[@JASPERBARIAS]

I'm pretty sure there's that Yu-Gi-Oh reference when you first play TCG 😂

[@evaairikkainen]

Yay! You did good job! ❤

[@Jake4th]

6:08 we got MOTIVATION

[@nwoDekaTsyawlA]

Achievements are full of references, I would venture dozens. Call me Ishmael Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of dandelion wine Who let the dogs out Long John Silver N-Thousand leagues under the sea Open Sesame Close encounters of the which kind And more...

[@AlejandroPzGz]

The Fatui trailer resembles the espada reunion from Bleach

[@Saunasara]

And Silver sword is reference to Witcher

[@simpleyetcomplex]

3:45 The Great Sword but yeah.

[@sentience3033]

6:22 so far Ayaya has more references of Vergil.Hoyo is Vergil simp

[@tsukishiro1689]

Tartaglia has more similarities with Kamen Rider. He is literally a Kamen rider. XD. He even wears a mask on his head all the time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIirnqtveZ1omrssi=ltGt4pukMC5f4cwa
