omg that's such a good idea actually!

Bad idea, setting a song as an alarm makes you hate the song. Speaking from experience.

[@TIGGYQUE]

@@potatoesandducks958 there's a certain risk using a favorite song as an alarm, but I think it can vary from person to person and the careful calibration of the exact volume, fluidity and tone of the song. I've had a track from Luke Cage as an alarm and it was almost nice, but I should have chosen a track that starts more quiet and calm =/

45:46 is now among my favorite tracks in all of genshin. It feels almost ethereal with a slight somber tone, and it fits so perfectly wherever it plays. In the enchanting environment of the Mawtiyima Forest, and during the Sabzeruz Festival samsara, when the traveler is trapped in a perpetual dream.

[@Hyopomora]

[@aishascarlet3164]

I remember when I first heard 41:05. I legit felt like I was somewhere I shouldn't be. And going into that Ruin Golem? I was literally like "Am I even playing Genshin right now?"

It is my favorite too! I don't know why but it reminds me of Khaenriah and the abyss sibling the first time I heard it. Later after doing Archon Quest, it might reflect the Sumeru's past also 😭

[@lucaskrupp1085]

@@simia2324 The first one is called Vestiges of Dahri, which is the Sumeruan name for Khaenri'ah. It plays at the Ruins of Dahri, a Khaenrian ruin, so that's probably why you associate them.

@@lucaskrupp1085 ooooh is it? 😳 I havn't look deep into Sumeru's lore yet. Just finished the 3.0 archon quest and watched streamer did the 3.1's Then, I can't wait to see what kind of relation did Sumeru has to do with Khaenriah in the past. Thank you for the info tho

[@MrHola.]

I have started my journey in the game this year and I must say it was wonderful. I love the game, it's my favorite one and i love much things about it. The soundtrack is, specially, one of them. The peacefully and calm melodies are perfect for an area that it's pure nature and, literally, is the wisdom nation. The soundtrack in all zones of Sumeru is fantastic and beautiful, you can just stop and sit in a quiet place and listen to the melodies peacefully stopping the g*n*cide of Hilichurls. When I listen to this soundtrack I understand it goes perfect with the type of archont that Nahida is actually, and I love that. So, please, help me with this comment. I really want that Nahida and this can be very helpful for me :) From now, thank you to the communnity and Hoyoverse.
