CY YU FINISHING THIS ARCHON QUEST | FURINA IS THE BEST ARCHON | Genshin Impact - 2

[@sweeherng8407]

She cries not because of the death penalty, but because she thought she was exposed as a human, and then 500 years of effort would be in vain

[@AerinstadasChronicler]

Not only that, but she believed all the deaths about to happen were her fault. Because she wasn't good enough.

[@SofieLoaf]

The fact that Furina shut down completely in the trial cuz she believed she failed haunts me.

[@BurgerBunDog]

That look of hopelessness. She knows she failed and believes everything she did was for naught.

[@redlox2]

Yup! She was told of she was ever found out that the plan would fail (a plan she litterally was kept out of the loop about). She wasn’t even told that this trial was the final step in the plan. (Hence she was willing to put her hand in the water as that would be the only way to keep her cover for the plan). So sad! Furina deserves better!

[@thuaners]

@@BurgerBunDogand plus everyone turned on her :(

That part when Furina was about to reach her culminating point before Neuvillette pleaded her "guilty" you could literally feel she was suffocating. I think if I was in her shoes, I'd be gonna throw up or become crazy instead of having time to process to sit down 😭

which is why i'm happy she didn't tell us, because WE might not be from teyvat, but our emergency food certainly is! sneaky emergency food, being spyware for the heavenly principles so well she didn't even show up in the re-enactment in furina's inner world

Doesn't matter since she wouldn't have opened up anyway, but it's not like there was no way to stop the trial before it started. The moment she stood accused was the point of no return. Furina was made of pretty stern stuff, though. She wouldn't have talked even when given the chance.

[@dunumanz1679]

I rarely cry but this archon quest made me weep like a baby. Happy Furina is finally living her life At first being only able to slowly walk in her “Scene”, but being able to run as she gets better at acting and all the dialogue just hit me right in the stomach. And I started bawling when Neuvillette cried The emotion behind Neuvillette’s voice after that moment (sounded like he was triying his best not to cry) just made me cry even more. The genuine anger in his voice when he said “we must mete out punishment to that beast” sealed the deal. Also it broke my heart how after all this happened Furina just packs her stuff and leaves quiety.

Man I love that Genshin shows the dark side of Godhood and the damage it can do to someone. It shows the human side of the Gods we see. Venti and how he drinks away his sorrows, Zhongli being exhausted and wanting to retire, Ei losing all the people she loves and then locking herself away, Nahida being a young soul who still has much to learn about the world, and Focalors wanting to be with humans and experience their culture; willing to sacrifice herself for her people and so her human self can live the ordinary life she always wanted to.

[@foetpics]

If we keep this character development where the archons dedicate their lives even more than the previous one, we’ll have the Tsaritsa feeding her people with her own blood.

[@rhenzkieee7258]

I mean in some way all of them are dedicating their lives for their own people. Even raiden dedicated her life for her people. Even though it was twisted because of certain factors that played in inazuma's history, you can't really say she didn't dedicate her life for her nation in a way she "knows".

[@astromechas]

I'm so curious about the Tsaritsa. The Travail trailer described her as being "A god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her" but in Childe's voice line about her, he called her very "gentle soul", too gentle even. I just wanna know what the deal is!

She simply picked up her things and left. Furina is really the forgotten Saint of Fontain.

[@natchu96]

When you find yourself on a throne that doesn't belong to you and have no choice but to go beyond perfection lest the imposter be exposed. It doesn't matter if the real deal ain't ever this good, people expect them to be. Even a fake human royal only has to hang on for a few decades and that's plenty enough to go mad. Five centuries is a whole new brand of hell.

Everything about Furina’s trial legitimately hurt me. I knew something was seriously wrong the moment she got frantic. It’s no wonder why she gave up and accepted her death sentence. If I were in her shoes, I probably would’ve done the same thing. (Mind you, that was before we learned the truth about her history) I mean, even before the trial, she thought that she finally found a confident, only for them to betray her, and actively work against her! After everything that happened, I would’ve left Fontaine and never set foot in that nation again. (Or leave it for a little while at the very least) Just to be clear, I understand that we needed answers, and I hate the "just trust, and obey" mindset as much as anyone. But there had to be a better way.

Though it can just be elynas blood that made them and the parts are just mementos of the reason behind their creation.

2:26:37 i cannot get over how beautiful the key change into a Major key here is. after spending upwards of an hour crying over how depressing and painful Furina's story was leading up to this, it feels genuinely _freeing_ to see it all go so damn well in the end. to see her dedication was _worth_ it, and the music just _perfectly_ encapsulates the elation she feels as she realizes exactly that. this game is just too freaking good...

[@Raku_Shiratori]

I feel like nearly everyone has forgotten this. But it was confirmed our Sibling cannot be the Third Descender. Because our sibling has records within Irmunsul. Nahida revealed that during the 3.x Archon quest. Our sibling is a Teyvat Native. In order to have your records within Irmunsul you need to have been born on, or created on Teyvat. Our sibling does have records within the info tree but they're being blocked by some unknown force so Nahida cannot access the info for us. But just telling us that our sibling is a native reveals they are not a descender. Because descenders do not have records within that info tree.

[@liamjones1630]

Just a theory technically if our sibling is the third descender which is possible as in the first cutscene in game the twins were described as travelers and talked about how they were about to leave for the next world again, what if when he was turned into a gnoses his spirit/energy got released and wasn’t cleansed linking it to teyvat, as we know from xiao, gods essences/spirit/energy needs to be cleansed otherwise it infects the world around their corpse. what if this happened as we know our sibling was sealed like us but unlike us he seems to have been “released” straight away, well what if him being recorded inside irmunsul is due to what happened when he/she was converted into the gnosis and what we’ve seen so far of them is just a leyline disorder, as we’ve seen on that one island in inazuma leyline disorders can bring beings from the past into the future and even suspend them in time, what if due to the sibling’s extraordinary power it’s just doing this on a continental scale, just something I’ve thought about as the lore seems to be all over the place for our sibling and we know genshin loves to throw curveballs in the storytelling

[@tashaaleia]

But that logic was weird tho since our sibling came with us into Teyvat. We were both outsiders. How come our sibling is a Teyvat native while we're the descender? It doesn't make sense. There's a loophole in that logic. So i suspect that our sibling might have died but was reincarnated by the Abyss or something hence why she/he is now recorded as a Teyvat Native but an unknown force is blocking further info (Abyss maybe?)

[@foetpics]

You know who came before our traveler (the fourth descender)? The sibling. Maybe there isn’t any trace of the other twin as a descender because they weren’t supposed to be one. The reason why she/he might be hiding at the abyss is to scape what is supposed to happen.

[@brianahanson6449]

To clarify some things from Skirk’s dialogues: 1) By implication, in the original prophecy Skirk is the one who beats down the whale-with or without Child meeting and fighting the whale (since the Traveler is “outside” of Teyvat’s fate in a way…probably). The Traveler and Neuvillete coming and this battleground are outside of the gaze of the gods…probably. 2) Skirk’s master is “The Foul,” a male. Other named like “The Visionary” and “Gold” are other names Skirk heard from her master, “the Foul.” We know that those from the Hexenzirkel are on a similar plane/power as “The Foul.” 3) [while not really from Skirk’s dialogue] it appears that nations in Teyvat-especially since the establishment of The Seven-are judged by the actions of their archons, their “kings”. Khaenri’ah’s people were cursed even though Dainslef’s dialogues suggest that it was due to the actions of Khaenri’ahs rulers that the nation was wiped out by the Heavenly Principles/Celestia/whichever heavenly gods. Fontaine had a judgement pronounced upon it because of the actions of its archon, granting the with of her oceanic familiars to become human. And yet celestia’s/the heavenly principle’s/fate’s judgement was a national disaster meant to dissolve all of Fontaine’s people back into Oceanids.

[@tak9273]

For anyone that been wondering why him giving up the gnosis still let him keep the power the dragon: The power that was stolen from the dragon was kept at the throne of the seven archons, not in the gnosis. So by destroying the hydro archon seat, the power was returned to him. At the end of act 4 neuvilette did mentioned that the stolen power was the basis for the archon power, but he did not mention gnosis. At that time we only assume that it was the gnosis.

[@annoyedtorchic8270]

If you read Neuvilette's new lines after the quest, it mentions that the 1st and 2nd created the gnosis using the 3rd's. Also my hot take is that, since we have 7 chakra points or energy focal points, it must be the inspiration(?)

Now that I think about it, Can the goddess who capture our sister/brother at the start of the game be "Gold" (or at least be related to Skirk) ?

[@failbird105]

No, because she's anti-humanity while Gold is (seemingly)super pro-human. Not to mention it's most likely that the intro happened before the calamity, which means Gold would have still been in Khaenri'ah

Focalors is forever GOATED for this

The music playing inside the ADN is mixed with synthesized whale calls.

The fact that the twin IS from Teyvet could mean that the twin is just a copy of the "real" twin. The one we see now may be made by Gold like Albedo was. That way the third can be the real twin, and the sibling we see now is just a place holder made to help protect Khaenri’ah. It is possible that they didn't know there were two travelers and the sibling was hurt while trying to save the nation. The copy was given the real twins memories so they knew about us but no one else did. That is why Nahida says our twin is from Teyvet and we are not. Just a thought. If anyone likes lore theory check out a creator called Ashikai. Thanks for the wonderful video.

2:09:00 Focalor stating facts and shade all in one sentence!

Paimon, the Traveler has fought GODS. Plural. I think that might be just enough to qualify for journalists asking for an interview.

I wasn’t a big fan of Furina at first- the personality she put forward reminded me too much of those popular girls in high school who think they’re all that, and they irritated the shiiiiit out of me lol. I didn’t really dislike her- I just wasn’t drawn to her really. I was so hopeful the end of the archon quest would change that for me and holy shit it did not disappoint!!! She’s right up there with Nahida for favourite. Furina’s so strong, going through everything she has like that…

albedos mom was maybe a translation mitsake, i think they meant albedos creator.

The traveller's sibling is not a descender for some reason as stated by nahida.

[@mllewhimsy1161]

The fountain of lucine probably has triple the amount of water after this quest

[@zerfics]

IM CRYING AND SOBBING. I LOVE FURINA SOOO MUCH. MY CUTIE GIRL...

[@LenUchiha_anglejr758]

1:57:33 did anyone notice goe furina's eyes were twitching here....like my gosh the amount of stress that cause your eye to twitch

[@CalmJasper]

Neuvillette was still given his authority back. Focalors removed the authority and returned it to him, the gnosis still contains power from celestia but not the dragons appropriated authority

[@reggymcmonkey5737]

not Simba distracting Cy Yu from some of the best moments omfg 😐

[@Liongamer3000]

so all fontains archon quesrt was about depressed god named focalors who made a self murder :)

[@oujisama05]

something that bothers me here is when aether says "fine" after it's revealed that furina would have continued the facade anyway, in JP the way he says it is gentler, kinda like saying "I got it" acknowledging Furina's resolve. In EN, he sounds angry/frustrated. And I feel that the former tone was kinder and suited the scene more
