We can finnaly listening and wouldn't forget how much We having fun with this place

[@shrewdykirb3407]

Smh there's no point of keeping the islands if there's nothing to do...at this point just play this album while playing sea of thieves lol

[@agenericguy1014]

The Golden Apple Archipelago was THE BEST way to end off our adventures in the 1.0-1.6 era It's such a beautiful event and while I would love to have it stay as permanent place,unfortunately it has to go and I think that's just how it is. The same could be applied for everything really as every single thing in this world,will come to an end. No matter how much we don't want it to happen,it would still happen nonetheless as the end of every single thing in this world is inevitable. Which is why,we must make the most of it out of everything. The adventures may not last forever,but the memories will

1:39 Let’s get your imagination working: You’re standing at the bow of your Waverider, the wind in your face as the mid afternoon sun shines down upon you in the luscious blue sky spotted with puffy clouds. The waters are calm and beautiful crystal clear blue. And dead ahead, approaching at full speed Golden Apple Archipelago grows bigger as you close in on the islands.

[@notblue0]

a few more years: why we still here, just to cry

[@leafacore]

R.I.P.: Golden Apple Archipelago you will be missed. This makes me emotional and I CAN'T figure out why ah- Anyways it was fun it's unfortunate that it's gonna be going soon

[@snlqpasj]

@Ayaka having segs with Lumine. and it's gonna be gone in a few days again :(((

[@biancatiberia8000]

This hits so hard, definitely peak Genshin imo. I don't know what is it about it that I love so much, but it makes me feel so warm and at home. In these busy and lonely times it feels like a little nostalgic break that takes me back to when I was a child, so eager to the littlest adventures and have fun. Everything felt so free, my memories of those times are surrounded by a golden aura.....I guess that's what makes Mondstadt and the Golden Apple Archipelago so special to me. I can't wait for these islands to come back and create more amazing memories!

[@mikihirai335]

the nostalgia hit me so hard i didnt know i was tearing up when the music started...

[@MrWeird-gj5dm]

Let's thank the Orchestra team for giving us wonderful OSTs

[@tacsp1232]

The music never fails to slap.

[@qpopuiuzmnmb]

Conflicted OG player here: the selfish one in me wants this memory all to myself. But with rumors that Update 2.8 will see the Archipelago return for another episode of Summer adventures, I hope new players can experience what we old farts loved so much about this place: forget the real world for a moment, take in an impossibly heavenly experience.

[@ck5413]

hearing this song makes me sad ngl, since I used to co-op with a friend and we really don't talk to each other anymore

[@restuyachesta7239]

very sad when this soundtrack just lasts for a few more days before its deleted ingame...

[@Azendas]

You can always come back here to listen to it though, so it's less sad!

[@restuyachesta7239]

@@Azendas the enjoyment when hearing it while playing the game.....😢

[@audrenaline]

I didn’t realize they made this many tracks for the midsummer islands :0 For an area that’s going away I feel like that’s a lot of work

[@yourmother131]

i have a feeling that it might come back

[@awacantikkk]

the fact that this game is free so everyone can enjoy it is so wonderful, make me feel shame and want to appriciate the dev by paying it lol. I personaly never want to spent any money on a game before but, I didn't feel any regret with spending money in this game. Marvelous work genshin, truly the game of the year!

[@Nikuma13]

Archipelago: This is the time Me: You're leaving? T_T

[@reieben886]

Archipelago: yeah, good bye! time for me to sumerge and fell asleep again.. Don't cry if you miss me just listen to my BGM in hoyomix :)

[@Mashuzuu]

Really wish some of these music were available as spincrystals for the pot

[@muddassirismail]

Why does this induce a bittersweet sadness? Yu peng chen is a Master Misician and I think the Archipelego created by the developers did not fail in giving us that adventurous feeling full of wonder. God the music is beautiful.

[@cosmiclattea]

You can hear Venti's story quest music at 1:22! Pretty cool

[@theguest103]

i love this comment. yes, it's definitely not the main theme of genshin impact, it's venti's theme

[@theguest103]

when i first heard it in game tho, it gave me a big banjo kazooie vibe owo. because of how that game reused the same leitmotifs across a lot of tracks

[@cosmiclattea]

@@theguest103 It gets cooler when you consider the context - This leitmotif is played when the nameless bard was talking about his ideal world + while the player is exploring Golden Apple Archipelago's waters - Venti reshaped Mondstadt to honor his dead friend's legacy - At least one of the Golden Apple Archipelago islands was yeeted there by his reshaping

[@tsbkii289]

For those wondering which "Venti story quest music" it is (because OP's description is so vague), it's the BGM in "The Boy and the Whirlwind" cutscene at 0:31 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZC5YYeOa7Ksfdk

[@seol7035]

@@theguest103 there are actually two versions of this leitmotif, one is the actual genshin theme itself where the phrases are shorter and is in compound time (counted in 3s) and one is the venti theme in simple time (counted in 2s or 4s) Edit: actually there's a third version where the phrase is long like venti's version, but counted in compound time. It's the one that plays during diluc's part in the Travails video and it also plays during that venti story animation (right after the part when the war has ended). There's another instance where they used this particular version which I cant remember, but because it was used mostly when talking about the old mondstadt, I personally call it the old mondstadt theme

[@EveBlum]

Listening to these tracks makes me for once feel genuinely happy that I'm here and alive. And alive in this particular time so I can experience these masterpieces. Thank you. For bringing light to my life.

[@nabieladrian]

We born too late to explore the earth, too early to explore the space, but just in time to play Genshin Impact.

[@beigehues]

I wasn't there when the first Golden Archipelago event was. But when I used the boat and heard this music now in 2.8 I felt really nostalgic for some reason... I cried actually. Though I haven't heard this music yet. Really beautiful. I shed tears thinking about when the island will be gone again because the summer vibes really comforted me. While Genshin is really good for grinding and combat... It misses warm places like these which only serve co-op, relaxation, perhaps fishing, swimming, boat or even surfing would be nice. A few elements from Animal Crossing... Collecting shells. Building sandcastles. Sort of a non combat area just for relaxation and interaction. Collecting ingredients for barbecue and also with an animation when you prepare it. Really beautiful to imagine.. I'd spend more time in game

[@potatpon5571]

Mihoyo never fails to impress me with their music

[@something4796]

Poo poo

[@clown12ify]

I've been down because I thought I didn't ace the interview. Just when they released this album, I played the playlist to soothe my heartbreak, and just then I got a call for 2nd interview! I feel so overjoy I blast the whole album while dancing stupidly around the room. This is going to be a memorable album for me

[@bagongerwae2159]

Good to hear and good luck, may you have the best day after too.

[@sleepingdragon1992]

I hope they will give us a music player we can craft and maybe set at least on our teapot, so I can listen to "Vast and Blue" and "Mesmerizing Waves" on my islands teapot.

[@atom8o]

heeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@mimamamomu]

Golden apple archipelago will shine like gold, in my memories We will miss you

[@cat6th363]

The first time I was sad about the people from the islands, while they starting submerging. I felt out of time all the time, until Alice's voice calmed down the pace. Then it became a paradise, often to drop the controller and stare in awe while the melodies transported me there. The second time I took my time enjoying the islands, and the last day had completed half Mona's place, and had to stay awake, but then, reaching the last stars, having barely a few minutes the night became rain, as I climbed the invisible ladder it all felt surreal, as I almost could feel the light rain falling and tickling, the islands were saying good bye.

[@ahmadgm5864]

Love this This event hits so hard every summer

[@AwesomeSeal]

Man I can’t believe the islands are leaving it’s really upsetting man, the soundtrack is beautiful as always- it’s really nice to listen to when doing homework :3

[@sumyguck8094]

Yes definitely!! ^w^ Only thing getting me through revising tbh. This and Liyue ost i just have on loop, and it makes me feel so calm & inspired, Yu Peng Chen is a genius :'3...

[@Jk8Z]

The quality of every single track in this makes me wonder how TF it's free to play. . . . Then I remember the Wish chance rates.

[@Astrael_Yearly]

Well you know after hearing all these ost i wouldn't say no paying for acces lol

[@dikasetiawan5171]

I miss golden Apple archipelago, specifically version 2.8. That's the best filler version of genshin impact. So many lore for playable characters, the puzzle is really challenging, the cast, and mini games.

[@iisunnxy]

Genshin and golden apple archipelago def made my summer better I will miss it so much it was one of the best events i hope they bring it back pls mihoyo

[@lonelydeer9651]

Let's never forget the memories... The experience to explore something new, the newly added boat mechanics, aiding Klee on her journey to defeat the Dodo King, and relaxing to the ost while doing the events. We will never forget you Golden Archipelago

Hope it will come back soon. I'll really miss these Islands

lol same

[@spymadmax584]

Good news for you. We're getting a new map in 3.8 . Not as big as gaa but sumeru and fontaine twist it has

[@chaoticviewer3394]

2.8 was nice, but 1.6 GAA is definitely my favorite one. Its just so amazing. The first experience is amazing.

[@temmie2]

Yup, 1.6 truly felt like a Summer adventure, meanwhile 2.8 was more focused on lore and character's stories

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

2.8 anyone? What a reunion!

[@Markyboiiiii]

I have terrible insomnia. Now, when I need to go to sleep I'll just put this on. You guys are great music producers and the main reason I started playing viola. Dare I say, I think this ost is on par with or above LOZ: Botw and Zero dawn.

[@ahmadgm5864]
