I replayed it so many times, it feels so melancholic and freeing at the same time, with context of how this moment finally freed Furina it's an unforgettable feeling!😭 I even cried a little and it's not easy to make me cry (i'm actually a very emotional person, but it's hard for me to physically cry, probably because of how much i hold back emotions on daily basis (i relate to Neuvillette a lot with how he can only cry through the rain). Even when i'm very touched by the scene i do not always manage to cry for real, only internally. So when the scene manages to make me cry i consider it very powerful. This scene is one of them).

If you read the in-game description at the archives section, it's described that the rain poured heavier than ever outside the Opera Epiclese after Neuvillette regained his full authority over Hydro. He really grieved over Focalors' death and the fact that he was the sole witness for it, watching her to be executed and disappear into bubbles of hydro energy, signifying the destruction of the Hydro Archon throne and the restoration of the Hydro Sovereign Authority to its rightful owner must have been so traumatizing and heartbreaking for him. Imagine witnessing someone's death, especially a brutal one in front of you. No wonder the downpour was so excessive, the sadness carved so deep inside his heart as he grieves over her death, which is then followed by the trembling and shakiness in his breath. I'm unsure if it's just the rain, but if you examine closely a single tear can be seen. Neuvillette really went from being uninsterested in human society to eventually loving and sympathizing with humanity over the past 500 years all thanks to Focalors and Furina, who executed the plan perfectly. He came to love and understand human emotions even if he does not understand himself. This archon quest made me love Furina and Neuvillette as a character even more, and I am beyond happy that hoyoverse is able to create and portray characters so beautifully as them :) I really want a 2nd story quest for both of them, for that is one of my biggest wishes for the continuation of the story.

There is something that i realized from the death of the recent archons. Raiden Makoto : No one in Inazuma really knows about her death, since there are 2 of them, except Miko. Rukkhadevata : No one in Sumeru remembers her, even Nahida Focalors : Everyone in Fontaine only knew Furina as Focalors, not knowing that they've been separated. So everybody in Fontaine basically don't know that their archon is dead, except for Neuvillete. It is really sad to see, almost everybody in the respective countries didn't know about the sacrifice of their own gods.
@Oscarus4250 Жыл бұрын
Ei and Makoto posed together to the masses as singular entity - Raiden Shogun. Humans believed there was only one Raiden, so when Makoto has died during the Cataclysm, no one knew, as Ei was at the time in Inazuma, defending it from threats such as Orobashi, so Inazumians believed Raiden Shogun was with them all the time. Only Gods knew the truth, and the consequences that followed. Makoto was to follow Celestia's orders, and with her being less of a warrior and more of a diplomat, she was a lamb led to the slaughter. Rukkhadevata was so influential for Sumerians that after she died and "reincarnated" as Nahida, they've rejected her almost instantly, believing she won't live up to Greater Lord's accomplishments, even giving her the mocking moniker of Lesser Lord, and "ignoring" her existence, as if she wasn't even existing. But at the end of the Sumeru Archon Quest, the tables have turned, with Rukkhadevata deciding to sacrifice her very own existence in order to heal the corruption within the Irminsul, effectively removing Eleazar and Withering with it. But due to her actions, no Tevyat-bound lifeform happens to even 'heard' of Rukkhadevata - due to Irminsul's "remodified history", it is now believed that Nahida was the Dendro Archon from the very beginning (which was partially true; even before history modification), and that during the Cataclysm, she lost nearly all of her powers, becoming substantially weaker. As for Rukkhadevata, she no longer exists in neither the books, knowledge capsules nor in others' memories. She has died a second time - a "true death". Focalors also decided to sacrifice her own life for the sake of the region, but she went a step further; she decided to destroy the Hydro Throne alongside herself, and have the Hydro Authority be returned to the righful owner, Hydro Dragon Sovereign (which was Neuvillette). To do this, she split herself into "god side", Focalors, and "human side", Furina, and Focalors had Furina act as a Hydro Archon and ruler of Fontaine, as the Oratrice Mechanique d'Analyse Cardinale was collecting Indemnitium, which would be later used to kill Focalors and destroy the Hydro Throne, which it accomplished. But still, Focalors knew she was being on a death row with no known execution date, and Furina had to play the tough role for far longer than she could imagine, despite her mentality and capabilities being that of a human. Both suffered unimaginable pain, to the point that one could ask, if the pay was adequate to the effort.

The power Neuv used to “forgive” them comes from the Hydro Sovereign’s role as Teyvat’s God of Life- he “completed” the conversion process, removing the traces of Primordial Seawater in their blood that made them soluble in the first place.

It went from the almost whimsical and playful and pure start for the performance, then the choir came to give that godly feel, then the male choir joined for the ominous descent of the Oratrice. Then it goes super tender when Focalors gives her final goodbye to Furina, and then it transitions from this tenderness to the big moment, but said moment is punctuated by that constant sad piano the entire time, and then only the sad piano remains and closes off the scene. Neuvi getting his powers back was a victory sure, but it tasted like defeat, the cost was too high.

I love the details in Neuvillette's demeanour as he witnesses Focalors' divinity dance one last time before her final curtain call. The anticipation when she farewells him, and then he physically reaches out to her when the blade drops, even though he knows he can't stop it. He just looks absolutely crushed in that moment, even though the plan is to restore his full power and Sovereign authority over Hydro so that he can be the final part of the plan, forgiving the "Original Sin" of Fontaine so that the flood will not dissolve everyone. For the plan to work, both Furina and Neuvillette were essential parts that had to be alive, and had to act according to her divinity's predictions, and even though he knows this was all set in stone long before he came here to act as Chief Justice, it still hurts him to know not only the monumental sacrifice that she made, but the fact that her divinity still carries the same form her mortal body takes. He witnesses his own best friend decapitated right before his eyes, and knows that it still had to happen. Amber's performance is amazing here, especially her still admitting that she's afraid of dying even though she knows it must happen, but Ray absolutely deserves more praise here. Most of what you see here is just Neuvillette's body language and Ray's vocalisations, but once you reach the end where he finally forgives the sins of the people, his lament and sorrow is clear in his ragged breathing and declaration that Fontaine is forgiven. All that pain concentrated into one declaration by which he finishes the final step of the plan. Fontaine has truly been one of those nations man

Everyone talk about Furina and Neuvillate, I wanna talk about Fucalors. The one who most eager to become a human, yet she turn herself into a machine. She knows she gonna die when the day she receivd the hydro archon throne. She even planned her own death. Store the energy for 500 years without talking to anyone, not even Furina. I thought about why she didn't talk to Furina thru the mirror, and I think thats because she couldn't. She has turned herself into a conscious machine. I cant imagine how she lonely she was. She just keeps on collect those energy and wait for 500 years for her own death sentences, alone, and no one even know she exists and sacrifice for Fontaine. Like Rukkhavevata. No one know and appreciated except Neuvillate. The one who most eager to be a human, in the end, she still cant be a human herself.

You may be subconsciously picking up on some of the symbolism. Focalors dance is meant to symbolize a "swan song" the myth that a swan, just before its death, will sing its final most beautiful song. By nature, however that means it's an act that is inherently tied to imminent death. Furina joining in that dance in that moment means she's, though separated by distance, in some way experiencing and taking part in Focalor's swan song. Turning that final "song" into a duet between two intimately tied souls. But by its nature that duet will end with one of the pair suddenly gone in a very final sense, and the other left alone. And for Furina specifically, after 500 years of suffering and loneliness, that hell has to her mind ended in failure and with everyone she cares about turning their back on her is about to end with her losing the only "other person" who knows her secret and that her faith in has driven her for all this time. With the death of her "mirror-me" Furina will be well and truly alone left to face a future that seems dark and uncertain.

"Sinner’s Finale" uses the singular term because Focalors and Furina are like two sides of the same coin-one divine, the other human. Combined both and you’ll make one Hydro Archon. Loved how Zhongli acknowledged them as one entity by saying “…Though her divinity had vanished…” when speaking about Furina.

Furina is such a broken human. She played the role of acting as a god for 500 years straight without anyone finding out her real identity. Even so, she did it to save the people of Fontaine because she believes it a necessary sacrifice. That's what makes her character a very compelling one.

Amber Lee Connors played 3 characters in this quest: The Deceitful God, Focalors; The Wishful Actress, Furina; The Regina of All Waters, Kindreds, Peoples, and Laws, Fontaine's Hydro Archon. She did with just her voice what many movie star actors can't with their full body: become someone else. The moment she switches from Furina to 'Hydro Archon' in the Accession Speech scene cemented her as the best rendition of the scene. The scene before with Neuvillette and the execution scene were easily the best in the entire Genshin story so far. So much regret in her voice, but not that she's going away, but that she wished things could've been easier. That Furina didn't have to suffer, that she could've lived as a human, that Neuvillette didn't have to be Deceieved. And most of all: that she was afraid. And that line of being afraid was delivered with so much emotion that I can hear it in my mind. Well done to everyone involved, this was the best pieces of media that has come out from Genshin.

@lucasmita3058 Жыл бұрын
Navia, Focalors, Furina and Neuvillete are simply peak of genshin impact and in my personal opinion, Furina was the best of the best. I was absolutely moved, I want a happy ending for her but it is true that part of what caused such a stir in the community is that the ending is not completely happy... It left several scars on several characters. Navia managed to save Spinna di Rossula and cooperated in the salvation of Fontaine but along the way she lost her father, discovered that she was betrayed by people close to her and lost 2 of her best friends and most trusted servants. Focalors lived from day 1 when she became an archon, imprisoned for 500 years only to prepare her suicide to deceive Celestia and give happiness to her people. Neuvillete always felt distant from humans, finally he managed to understand them and recover his original power... But he was seriously distressed to see so much sacrifice made by Furina and Focalos just for him to recover his powers and give his verdict of innocence to the citizens of Fontaine, in addition, of the serious depression that immortal entities usually have. And Furina, ufff, Furina. The 500-year act is already one thing but it is explained to you that for hundreds of years she did everything she could to prevent the prophecy. She spread informants throughout Teyvat to gather information against the prophecy, Furina traveled through the 7 nations of Teyvat without managing to find anything and Furina invested in the scientific community of Fontaine so that they would find something to counter the prophecy with Science but NOTHING worked, then Neuvillete shows her the list of Spinna di Rossula's dead and Furina understood that all her efforts were being useless, people were still dying and the only thing she could do was continue acting like a goddess, in addition, they also explain to you what to act for so many years she mentally broke her in such a way that she no longer knows what she was like originally, she only knows her personality when it comes to acting as an archon, she was attacked by Arlecchino leaving her traumatized, doubted by her own people and the cherry on the top int the depression cake is that Furina never asked for some fame in exchange for this... Simply, according to Neuvillete, after hearing the end of Focalors, she just sighed saying that she was tired of everything and packed her things to live like a normal person. Charllote offered her an interview to tell everything and Neuvillete possibly would have been open to helping Furina spread the news about everything she sacrificed... But she simply rejected those 2 opportunities. She simply accepted a normal life without any kind of pleasure in a city where they will never be aware of everything she also did for it while the spotlight will focus on Navia, those who found the gigantic ark that Wriothesley used and in Neuvillete. That's what I call a hero... And a tragic one at that, since even though people still seem to love her and applaud her in theaters, it's just that, theater. Furina knows that no one applauds her for who she is, Furina has no friends and if you have her as a character you will know very well that she is a very lonely person. She always wanted friends but being an archon made her a very lonely person since people put her on a pedestal where no one wanted to get close to her because they thought that being friends with a goddess like her was impossible. According to her elemental ability, in the background there is a text that explains that usually on Wednesdays she suffers attacks of melancholy and says that she would like to have friends to eat cake with her and says that surely one day she will have someone like that. Furina's need for friends is such that she developed a personal attachment to her hydro creations that she uses in her elemental ability... Oh my god Hoyoverse, what a character they just made.

Her little jumps and gentle wing spread looks like she's being set free and the music makes it feel so tragically sweet. The scene where neuvi looks at her dancing to her own mind gives me such a lonely yet happy vibe, like she's choosing this dance as her last words instead of her farewell to neuvi.

To be fair nobody really knows about what she did. Neuvillette has only told the Traveler about it so far. From the perspective of everybody else she's just a human who pretended to be an Archon and couldn't do anything to avert the disaster in Poisson. They also know that Egeria made them human. But nobody has the knowledge of anything in-between. We don't know yet why exactly Neuvillette told nobody about this, but he probably wouldn't say anything to people without Furina's permission. And I don't think Furina would want to become the center of attention this way again. That said, Paimon is aware of her sacrifices, yet acts so awfully during her Story Quest... And the Traveler doesn't even stop her? This made me so mad

First, only Traveller and Neuvillette are privy to the information, and no, they cannot tell the people about what happened because that would put Focalors sacrifice in vain. Second, to be blunt, Furina is considered as the reigning monarch of Fontaine. Let's say that the people are aware, should they apologize to their monarch because she did her duty? Don't get me wrong, Furina is one of the best character in game when it comes to development, but she was still their ruler. It was her job. Even she knew that so she never demanded an apology.

@@athankoh1 i mean, nobody said that its everyone else's fault that furina didnt receive an apology. im just trying to say how much of the torture it must have been to act an opera for 500 years to save the people, then receive nothing else for that effort.

@@_dragonflies_ i understand how the traveller is doing all of this just for his goal, but well this is going a bit too far, while he acted kindly with everybody else but not as kind to furina, especially when she suffered for more than 500 years.

I can’t help but revisit this scene over and over bc of how emotional and beautiful it is. The final part with Neuvillette alone in the heaviest rain yet, with the piano drawing to a close, his shoulders sagged and head bowed - man, it conveys just how much sadness and turmoil he is feeling in this moment as the sole witness of Focalors’ sacrifice
@pans0986 Жыл бұрын
I like that Focalors’ death was supposed to be quiet and peaceful to represent how she accepted her fate, but also the bubbles floating around shows the power that diminished when she died. Like what Zhongli told us happened to the God of Salt when she was killed.

@@tenken3656 Did people really actually hate Furina? Her debut at the harbour in 4.0 was amazing and it was exciting to see a new character bursting with personality and who was essentially Fischl 2.0. I have to wonder if those same people hate Navia and consider her a "crybaby" aswell.

That very final shot. Neuvillette has never been more...true. He's in his full powered dragon Sovereign form, with his flowy fin things. The sky is dark grey, it's raining heavily. He's not only the most powerful he's ever been, but also the most emotional he's ever been (maybe).

I cried so hard like a baby on this scene, I saved up every emotion this Archon Quest had and literally blasted it in this scene, I felt tears going down on my cheeks after Focalors started dancing and that music hit... I can't describe how much emotions this anime game made me feel and with edit, I want to add that Furina's crying with emotionless eyes, Neuvillette letting that "rain" down instead of literally sending all that tears back up like in his idle, these little details doubled the emotions and give it myself again
