Fun Little Details in Lantern Rite Promotional Video (Genshin Impact)

[@CatWithBlueHat]

Hoyoverse titled this promotional video as "Dream Upon a Lantern" and its description also refers to it as a dream. Which might mean that this entire video is not canon.

[@bpkdon]

Seems like it

[@avatarthelegendary6755]

😬

[@bpkdon]

The start of the Lantern Rite quest. Dvorak talks about why the Iridescence Tour is not happening in Fontaine and he clearly looks at Celestia. You must make a video on it.

[@Miraris]

yeah i think its just for promotion, there's no way childe can step into liyue xD they prolly hired someone to make it, i recognized the artstyle but I don't remember who's the artist

[@keyzzz9798]

It's most definitely not canon and just a fun "what if" because there is 0 chance all of those characters gather in one place

[@yharnamiyhill787]

I'm very happy with Nahida meeting the Archons for the first time. Being House arrest for 500 years, I wanted Al-Haithem to take over Sumeru during the Lantern Rite and have Nahida set sale to Liyue - under the protection by the Wanderer.

[@teriyakisauce7320]

Apparently, this is all a dream. It was obvious not only from the title but also from the fact that Ei is smiling despite Venti being a foot in front of her.

[@smuglumine9379]

​@@Proxy606 even with memory erasure, nahida still doesn't remember the other archons after she spent her power against forbidden knowledge

[@jamarcusdavis4023]

This is what makes Genshin so fun for me. Seeing the characters interacting with each other makes them feel real and alive. Also, it's so nice to see the Archons FINALLY interact with each other. Here's hoping for more interactions in the game. And this is a bit of a nitpick, but I'm surprised Scaramouche/Wanderer wasn't here. It would've been nice seeing him interact with other characters. And I must say you have quite the sharp eye. I didn't even notice Childe or Yelan, or Yanfei.

[@randomgkyo]

No characters from after 3.2 showed up so I'm assuming this was commissioned before then sadly

[@Sakuyamon]

@@randomgkyo Its not that it was commissioned before then, these sort of animations do take a long time but they have a lot of characters designed long in advance. Its probably at that point they put a limit to the amount of characters in order to avoid spoilers in case the animation leaked.

Diluc was busy and Kaeya probably was preparing himself for his debut in 3.5 with dainsleif

[@sureyeah3678]

With the archon, grand master, and acting grand master gone from Mondstadt, who else gonna watch it?

[@HoYo_FILES]

exactly what I thought! tho probably.. if Jean is in Liyue someone had to stay in Mondstadt to protect it, and Jean probably choose Kaeya for is as she said it herself, that she trusts him most. Diluc? probably protecting Mondstadt in shadows as always, or he was just grumpy and decided that he has better things to do than spending time on some "stupid celebration" :// (or to watch over Kaeya ;) )

[@7-___-7]

Funny to see how Childe went from Liyue then after the the events of the Liyue archon quest went to Snezhnaya with Signora to report his progress and stuff to the Tsaritsa.Then after that I'm assuming he brought his brother to Liyue and that's when the event's of his Story Quest take place. Then after that his brother would go back to Snezhnaya alone. Finally after all that he went to Inazuma for a mission to try and find Scaramouche's whereabouts. (He has actually been in Inazuma from version 2.2 the Maze Warriors event and only left in version 3.3) and then after he, left Inazuma to return back to Snezhnaya to give his siblings gifts and go to the Signora's funeral and now it seems he came all the way back to Liyue for lantern rite.

[@jakthesac5175]

He didn’t leave Liyue between his story quest and the archon quest, since they’re likely only a week apart tops. Also, if he had left, Teucer probably wouldn’t have come bc he’d been away for so long. Not to mention that Childe didn’t have time to send the gift yet so Teucer got it in person

[@ejs7861]

he can just use teleport portals to saving time 😂😂😂 especially in "dream"

Also, this is the closest so far where we get to see people from Monstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine (represented by Dvorak) and Snezhnaya (represented by the staffs of Northland Bank and Tartaglia) all together in one place. Can't wait to see how the NPCs from Natlan would look like.

I look at this and I'm reminded of Nahida's line where she wants to have a get together with all the archons since one hasn't been done in 500 years. It just makes me want an event that's maybe called like "The Archon Games" even more now lol. Just the idea of it sounds chaotic and fun to me, though depending on when this hypothetical event occurs Nahida might have to deal with the big sad the unknown ones didn't come.

I’d kinda expect YaoYao to be somewhere since they made a point of already including her in past animations but maybe we haven’t found her yet if she’s tiny and as hidden as Yelan

[@charlisuu]

Maybe YaoYao isn't there because the animation was made before Hoyo decided to put her in the game? Scaramouche, Alhaitham, Layla, Dehya and Kaveh aren't anywhere there too and what they all have in common is they are all very new characters. An animation like this takes time to be made and Mihoyo is making a trend of releasing new characters really fast, even if they aren't ready. This happened with Wanderer/Scaramouche as right after his release, all players received primogems as apologies for bugs on Wanderer. If Hoyo was working on him since his first apparition, this likely wouldn't be necessary. Sorry I wanted to suggest a possible explanation as to why YaoYao isn't in the animation but ended up with a rant lol.
