Character Demo - "Neuvillette: Font of All Waters" | Genshin Impact

Also at the end when he says "But this is not the end, merely a prelude for what is to come" and you can see the sky cracking like the way the floor cracked when the all-devouring narwhal appeared.

.... - All will eventually end in a magnificent and dramatic trial Furina - My dear Iudex I must remind you no trial can be significantly dramatic if it is too short. After Act 5 that line from Furina hits way differently. She's not saying that because she's being spoiled and bratty

[@123leyang321]

She said "sufficiently" actually, not "significantly" (it also makes far more sense that way), but yeah, the line definitely has a whole new meaning after Act 5, she's been waiting for 500 years and her only clue was that it'd be a "dramatic" trial. Poor thing never imagined it'd be her own trial and that it was dramatic enough to break her.

Everything about Neuvillette is just majestic. He's the definition of "harsh but fair." A huge majority of why Fontaine's story is so engaging is because of him.

Neuvillette's story quest really went to reveal why he still respects and does what Furina asks of him even though he find her exasperating at times. Anyone who didn't poke around after the end of Neuvillete's story quest probably didn't know that Furina left a reply note on his table. Where Furina said she's glad to see that Neuvillette is taking the time to interact with his people and even asked him if he finds the human world as not being "too bad", Probably one of the few details that points to Furina hiding a great secret.

*ELEGANCE!!*

[@speed_queen]

I can already tell Neuvillette is one of the most perfect characters hoyo has released. From his impeccable design to his commanding but calm demeanor and voice that the VAs bring. Ray Chase was such a perfect pick for the english role. I’m so interested to learn more about his character! Edit: why do some of the comments always devolve like this??? I just wanted to give the hoyo devs and the VAs props cuz I like Neuvillette, chill lol.

[@chrisanonym3473]

Agree. Without Ray Chase amazing voice, I think Neuvillette will become generic mature character.

[@rivaiaggaman3468]

Agreed, but i dont really like the choice of the japanese VA. Dont get me wrong, I love the japanese VA but he just doesnt fit Neuvilette..

[@The_Antiquary]

Except we never do learn much at all - characterisation is always just surface style - and if this is a genuine comment it is one of the reasons why we will NEVER get good characterisation. There is no depth. This is not 'perfect' - either this is a Mihoyo bot or you are someone caught up trying to outdo the hype of what is mostly a crowd of bots.

I haven't felt this enraptured by a trailer since Zhongli. This is on par with his, or it's even gone above. The haunting choir and different music styles and hidden messages throughout. This is one of Genshin's best trailers to date.

[@StarlitSiren]

We must pull for him I fear

[@vindemiatrix1320]

I agree this. I totally agree

[@ayanita761]

[@3birdies]

IM SO EXCITED FOR MORE FONTAINE LORE AND MAY EVERYBODY WIN THEIR 50/50S ON HIS BANNER!

[@lolHumany]

THE CELESTIA CRACKING AT THE END OF THE TRAILER THOUGH OMG. I hope everyone pulling for Neuvillette (like me) gets him. edit: I thought it was celestia but after close look it's just the sky cracking, not specifically celestia. BUT it could still represent celestia, especially with the *SPOILERS HERE* official reveal that neuvillette is the hydro sovereign. it also probably represents the sky being fake thing too.

Ray Chase on his way to give one of the best performances ever! He played Neuvillette so well! I absolutely loved his performance throughout this arc.

[@alisnoctis]

This theme went HARDER than I EVER could have imagined! Such a wonderfully intriguing and fascinating character... so excited to learn more about him. Hoyo you've done it again-!

[@Fluffwah]

One of my favourites too, really fits the feelings!

[@KISHIIR0OFFICIAL]

As a standalone demo this gave me chills, from the music to the composition this was done beautifully.

[@coltwgrice]

This is amazing! Neuvillette is such a well-written character.

[@ellslel5070]

Spoilers: You know what I really, really love about this trailer, and why I keep coming back to it? The exchange between Furina and Neuvillette at the very end of it. While others have also said it hits different, I really want to say why it strikes me in particular so deeply. And that is because it is framed and shot in such a way that makes it seem like Furina is talking about things she doesn't fully understand, and Neuvillette is merely humoring her. It's only when we come back to it after finishing the Archon Quest that we can realize that Furina is the one talking to Neuvillette about things HE doesn't fully understand, and in pretending to be naive, she's the one humoring him. It's continuing the layers upon layers of detail that makes the Fontaine storyline so loved.

[@amberxv4777]

this is so true. Girl was still waiting for her trial

[@MountainCarver]

I dont think so. Furina herself had no idea how things would end up because*SPOILERS* Focalors was hiding a majority of things from her. Its probabaly a hint to what happens though.

[@tite93]

​@@MountainCarver Furina knew that the trial had to be extremely dramatic and significant, that's why she kept attending all of the high-stakes and important trials. She was hoping that one day she'll witness the one to end it all - just didn't expect it to be her own, where she is unmasked by her own people

[@HelloHello-wn4gd]

@@tite93 ah ok thankyou for clarifying

[@homakp9097]

I don't wish to offend anyone but I find this comment strange. before finishing the AQ, you watched this and undermined Furina in your thoughts. After finishing the AQ, you undermined Neuvillette in your thoughts. I don't think it's shot in such a way. I think it's just you having hundreds of years old characters do some sort of wisdom competition in your mind.

[@AverageUser69]

MAN I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD RELEASE A CHARACTER WITH SO MUCH DEPTHS AND A GREAT PERSONALITY!!!!

nuevilette’s lore is amazing but they most definitely have released characters with those two attributes before lol

[@photo.sun.thesis]

thoughts on neuvillette demo. - i literally got chills when he thumped his cane while on the stage and all of the conflicting voices fell silent. his aura is so calming and powerful, it's truly amazing, and hoyo did a great job creating the demo to convey his authority and strength of character - the transitions to his burst and charge attack were AWESOME, the further hoyo goes with making demos it becomes more and more natural when they showcase the characters' talents! it's truly something i love to watch with every new release - the ending with the ominous ceiling (?) holding back the depths of an endless ocean and a deeper crack etching into the barrier was so ominous and thrilling! i'm so stoked to see more of fontaine's lore + archon quests get released so we can more deeply understand neuvillette's background, origin, purpose, and character. - i'm not a neuvillette fan / aspiring main but he's seriously stunning, i'm so invested in finding out how he's connected to the justice and court of his nation, and why he's assigned to moderate furina's contrasting obsession with dramatics and entertainment. this was an awesome demo!

[@teaglumm7304]

I especially agree with what u said abt the ending part with the ominous ceiling! I think that part caught my attention most because I read somewhere before that the prev hydro archon 500 yrs ago sacrificed herself to become a seal to be used to seal away abyss monsters. So maybe the ending meant to show how Neuvillette is aware that the seal is slowly breaking? I’m excited tho to learn if that’s true or something else

[@HelloYaYa117]

(4.2 AQ) Some things I noticed after watching *several* times These are just my speculation if it is apparently discussed before then i am sorry i didn't mean to copy or anything 0:35 the oratrice is inclined to the left, to which the traveler was when they charged furina as fake god, and the image is in black and white, because that's the last time the oratrice drops a verdict... 1:30 Fontainians are born from water, and return to water when they die, at least when they were still oceanids. 1:38 "Somewhere between the raucous spectacle of the court, and the cold rationality of legal code, something has gone awry" foreshadowing furina acting and hiding her secret, and the oratrice having its own consciousness, and its ultimate motive... to charge hydro archon the death sentence 2:21 (a comment inspired this one) tumult, as in when the melusine in his story quest commited suicide because of people blaming her for a crime, mainly because of them having doubt to coexist with this species. In the end, fontainians and melusines coexist peacefully, even willing to help each other when one faced difficulties this could just mean any trial that he judged anyways (this might be a stretch but) from 0:33 there is the oratrice representing utmost justice(?) with the iudex then 0:35 (with neuvillette's back) shows how neuvillette judges without being affected by emotions or it could mean he saw something that only he is able to witness (like focalor last words?) as the hydro dragon/iudex after that the screen is filled with slight purple likely representing that abyss whale attacks fontainians or the prophecy that is going to come true, or could be both, next scene the oratrice is not there anymore leaving only neuvillette standing there with more ripples of water that is not really moving, as if everything was stopped in time when the oratrice (focalor) died, and the emotions so strong that it made the water ripple, then there's neuvillette being surrounded by fog, just like the statement he just said earlier: "Emotions burst forth from the depths of the heart, and surround their host like a dense fog" it might just to make a smooth transition but noticing that he is crying makes me like him even more >:O There are much more that has already been pointed out by the comments and one i really liked was that when neuvillette is stopping the rain it means he's trying to suppress his emotions during trials so that his judgements are absolutely just. the amount of details👊

[@CallMeLoaf]

I didn’t all that but I agree

[@krazy167]

This is actually one of the best demos ever whatttt!! I literally got chills throughout the video 😩

[@jiarong0823]

Fun Fact: As of now, Neuvillette's Character Demo is the longest video among all characters, with a length of 3 min 15s The second and third longest are Baizhu's and Alhaitham's Character Demo, which are at 3 min 1s and 3 min respectively. In comparison, Kaeya's and Qiqi's Character Demo are the shortest, both with a length of only 59s Edit: Now the longest character demo has been replaced by Furina's demo, with a length of 3 min 16s

[@stellasilverr]

after playing through 4.1's archon quest, I gotta say that him and wriothesley have got to be my favorite characters in game, not only do they have incredible aesthetic appeal but they're both written insanely well and actually feel like deep characters with intriguing lore

[@Apparul]

The way I can confidently say that Neuvillette's demo is one of the most well made character demo as of now feels just right Like the difference between this and the other demo IMMENSE, I really, really look forward to the future character demos! Hyv clearly put a lot of effort into neuvillette and that makes me really happy

[@HeisenbergFam]

Neuvilette has a mysterious eye catching energy thats really intriguing

[@mindflayer2651]

Definitely one of the best demos ever. I get goosebumps as he stands in the background listening to the trials and the people's ramblings. It really shows the state of Fontaine's society and crisis.

Neuvillette is so charismatic and his attacks look really powerful 🎆

[@DLUBBY]

This holds so much more meaning now that the archon quest for Fontaine has finished, genshin has always been a captivating experience.

[@TiaTam]

Aside from Neuvillette being cool and gorgeous and a man with long white hair (which is always a win), I also have a character that's both thematically and design-wise very similar to him, in my own story. So it's almost like I'm going to be pulling for my character but with water powers instead of ice.. It's just a cool coincidence to me
