HELLO I appreciate you being here. I've been very excited to finally get this out. There are a couple of things below I'd like to bring to your attention. So please read on if you are able. :) 1. No spoilers please and thank you. I speculate and theorize a lot and will ask rhetorical questions BUT ultimately I want to find out in game. 2. This was recorded months ago. At the time of this upload I'm currently dealing with Dragonspine and Story Quests. 3. I play for fun, not for meta. Not interested in optimal teams. I'm more interested in the Story/lore than the gameplay. 4. I say it like it is. Likes and dislikes. Might have some hot takes in the future. Hopefully If I rant you'll understand that it means I'm passionate. Which is better than me not caring at all. If I hated the game I wouldn't play it. lol 5. Liyue looks beautiful. That is all.

I always interpreted the Travellers' knee jerk response to run away from the situation as a panic response, the last time they confronted a situation involving a God in an antagonistic way they were trapped for 500 years, had their power sealed and lost their sibling. So seeing an ancient god and hearing that any "outlanders" would be placed under suspicion hit their stress response. The Mondstat situation was different because they met Venti as Venti and not the archon, but I imagine that the impact the Unknown God is still a fresh wound for our Traveller. For the song, the latest I've listened to was "Monster" from the "Epic the Musical" soundtrack

I mean sure, but It's not a God threatening them here. If he has trauma you'd think it'd be related to a God's actions. This one is "dead". If the trauma is related to Gods in general, he wouldn't be searching them out. It's the people/Millileth trying to find out what's going on because their god had 'died' and then Paimon making it sound 10x worse, and us buying into it thus handling it in a very poor matter (we were super sus the moment we walked in dressed the way we are with a floating baby elf by our side haha). If the Millelith got him, he'd be questioned and looked into, and then they'd find out what he had done for Mondstadt and would have been fine... Would that potentially be a waste of time for the traveler? Maybe? At the same time as far as he and Paimon know their next lead is gone so why not try to help and get to the bottom of this? Now we're chilling with a silver tongued dude from an organization with a horrible rep, one that is known to have attacked an Archon who we consider a friend. So unless the traveler is actually 15 and lacking critical thinking skills, it's not great writing. Just an easy way to progress the story, which ultimately I get, but I'm still going to call it out. I'm unfamiliar with that song! I'll have to look it up. Thanks for sharing. :)

Xiangling will get stronger when you are in the later stages of the game. Here is the copypasta: I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Xiangling. I try to play Diluc. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Yoimiya. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Hu tao. My xiangling deals more damage. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe. They both want xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull engulfing lightning. "I don't need this much ER" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with homa." I can't pull for homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world

People might give you a hard time on how long this is taking you, but I just want you to know that I appreciate how much you're paying attention. It's so satisfying watching someone who picks up on things instead of being constantly confused. Some confusion is always justified, especially when they throw so many new terms at you all at once, but you're doing a great job. I wish I could go back in time and go through the story slower than I did.

I lost track of how many times back in 1.2, where I would drop Guoba right in front of an unlit campfire on Dragonspine, only to watch him turn 90 degrees and breathe fire towards NOTHING! I love Xiangling and Guoba, but I was like "GUOBA, WE ARE FREEZING TO DEATH, CAN YOU AIM WHERE I PUT YOU AND LIGHT THE FIRE. PPPPPPLLLLLLLLEEEEEE (sounds of freezing solid)!

The sneaking part if you remember it, when Aether starts to talk about his first memories in Teyvat would make more sense also at this stage in the game Aether don't know if other archons have connections to the unknown god that took his sister, so when Paimon says your identity she means the fact that Aether is an enemy of god that might have connections to this god which will raise more questions that Aether himself can't answer

@TheRoschi 2 ай бұрын

Sorry bud, still doesn't work logically. MIlileth are the ones looking for suspects. There's no reason to think they would have a connection to the unnamed God from the beginning and Rex can't do anything because he's "dead". We're also on good terms with Venti who is also a God. If this is their excuse it's a REALLY bad one and it's used just to force start the story of the area. They're taking an L for this one for making the traveler and Paimon really stupid. XD

The sneaking off thing is basically just a plot contrivance. It doesn't really make sense. And trying to make it make sense just makes everyone look dumb. My best explanation is "they were all panicking" which is half reasonable at least.

@TheRoschi 2 ай бұрын

Agreed. I think "panicking" is the only 'excuse' there is but at the same time it shouldn't be like this. I would understand if we were upset due to this "Archon being dead" thus losing a possible lead. Not because we think we could get in trouble. Paimon: Your identity... You may not be the killer, but we can't let them get you! Me: Why? We're not Batman. They'll find out that we're the heroes of Mondstadt after they actually look into us. If anything they'll discover that we're a possible asset. So yeah. I look forward to when the writing gets better XD;

@ngocduong264 2 ай бұрын

About the sneaky after the "death" of Rex Lapis, there is a choice I selected (which you selected too) like this: "It was a god we faced off against when we arrived in this world too..." At first, I thought the god mentioned was the Unknown God, but then I realized the siblings fought the Unknown God when they tried to leave, not when they arrived. So, my initial theory at the time I played the story was, that maybe, this specific god could actually be Rex Lapis himself, or some other god with a dragon form. Aether doesn't know how long he was unconscious after fighting the Unknown God, so maybe he thought he fought that god recently, hence why he's so cautious - he's afraid the conflict happened between them will make him the number one suspect. As the story goes, I kind of forgot about this theory of mine, and yet, I still don't know if it's correct or not XD

@TheRoschi 2 ай бұрын

Interesting theory! At the time of recording I didn't realize the length of time we were in Tayvat. So in my head we were just passing through. Showed up Saw some crazy God war Tried to bounce Got in a fight Then the game starts So the arrival and attempt at departure were relatively close and either word could have been used. So that's one thing that I did that confused myself at the time. XD

@DanaOtken 2 ай бұрын

@@TheRoschi Actually, no, . Hm. I don't want to quite spoil anything, but there are three - no, two (you may want to ignore the final paragraph for now) - minor details that should be okay. First, the Wangshu Inn. It is absolutely canonical that on your trip you stopped by that huge place dominating the landscape lying along the main road leading from Monstadt to Liyue Harbor, introduced yourself to the staff, and poked around a bit. Second, a critical factor here was that you started out by sneaking and got exactly as far as you did that way before leaving the city at high speed with immediate pursuit. You might be able to figure why that mattered as soon as you get back to the city. I can understand underestimating the plot here, or how many details are being accounted for, given the complexities in Monstadt's remain invisible after the arc's completion. (This is due to your quite intelligent Traveler still lacking enough basic background information to think of the right questions to ask, and there's a huge one they still miss in Liyue due to, just like me, thinking of something as too natural to question its presence in a different world with different history. There are hints to it already in your possession, but Sumeru should retroactively clarify things in any event.) But no. While things would have somewhat worked out in any event, you are notably better off in the long term (including post-arc) for your fleeing the city at once, and the same can be said for the government, the adepti, the Fatui, and other parties not yet visible. And while Childe simply saw an opportunity, both Aether's actions and his could be not so much predicted as anticipated as definite possibilities, then gently enabled for exactly the reason that everybody benefits by doing so.

This sent me back in time from when I first traversed the region: mountainous paths, towering peaks, hostile environments, mimic guards (talk to 'em for a _big_ lore drop), and fantasy China. As for dialogue problems during cutscenes, it didn't hinder me that much during my initial playthrough, but after watching people stream the early parts of Genshin, it does upset me that they never bothered to fix its timing with how the EN localization was recorded. Regardless, this is just the beginning, and things will surely get better over time. P.S. It's been a while since the last main story playthrough. Let the Liyue saga commence!

WOOOOO A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! This is going to be so much fun! I really like the overall direction of the Liyue story, but us becoming wanted definitely could've been implemented better, the overall running away scene felt a bit too awkward, I know we were suspicious and still unknown by the time we got to liyue so we definitely could've been a big suspect. The Guoba puzzle solving gave me some rough flashbacks to some puzzles lmao but yeah Xiangling's only weakness is the aiming for Guoba that's hard to master, but yeah they always give the necessary characters for puzzles for free in the nation you're exploring but it is frustrating when you cant change them mid domain for puzzles, so when doing story domains I'd recommend paying attention the elements they recommend you bring/characters that don't have long cooldowns on their elemental applications(99% of the time bows are the best). Collei is going to be a nearly must have in your party if when you're going through Sumeru rainforest chests unless you want to tear your hair out with dendro mc or have a better dendro option by the time haha. But anyways already excited for the next! Seeing you explore and admire the world is also great so I appreciate you keeping those parts in, and your wild rant/prediction at the end is very fun to see as well. Last song I listened to: Hellion by Machine Girl, literally right before seeing you've uploaded

@TheRoschi 2 ай бұрын

I'm glad you're here for the ride! Thank you for watching. :D Here's a thing about the puzzle. Amber is goated. No argument there. However, I was able to unlock Xiangling f2p, who is pyro, also from Liyue. SOOOO why would she not work for a puzzle, using her element, in the region she is from? XD AND you don't know for certain if there are puzzles before entering. Sometimes there are, sometimes not. I had covered all the required elements needed for it so you'd think it'd be good. SO UNLESS somewhere in the text about the place it says something along the lines of "a bow could be most useful in such a place yada yada" or something along those lines... It's vague and clearly an oversight design-wise in general. So I do not forgive and will die on this hill. XD I'm just going to have to make a video on why Amber is the most valuable character in early game. Sorry. Re-watching that part got me twitching haha I'm glad you enjoyed though! I'll make a note to rock Collei in the party when in Sumeru for puzzles.

@JustinSchuller 2 ай бұрын

@@TheRoschi Not knowing that there will be puzzles in a domain is a thing that continues all the way through Sumeru. I remember getting halfway through a story domain where suddenly I couldn't progress because I didn't have a ranged Dendro character in my party. I had to leave and do it over again from the start. After I was done I googled to see if anyone else was annoyed by that, and the common response was "they gave you Collei for free, why wouldn't you expect to use her?!?!" So annoying. I don't recall ever running into any issues with that in Fontaine, but maybe that's because I always have a hydro character with me, so who knows...

@TheRoschi 2 ай бұрын

@@JustinSchuller Yeah. The "they gave you them for free" is not a good reason. If that was the case then Xiangling would have been the character for Liyue (can be grabbed from the Spiral Abyss which I was able to do without even having the most optimized team for it), while Amber was for Mondstadt. However you need Amber for both. It also doesn't help that you need to use a bow character when I've heard so many complaints about them for mobile players. I have nothing against using bow characters (I'm excited about Ganyu after all) but they should have it so you can have ANY kind of party that you want. I don't like how it feels like they're really pushing you to have one on your team at all times (and in this case it's Amber), all because you MIGHT eventually run into that annoying puzzle. They're needed for a lot of puzzles They're best against certain enemies Yet they're a pain in the ass for mobile users. In my opinion it would have been cool if more thought was put into it where various characters could be used from a f2p standpoint instead of an obvious rehash method. I really enjoy this game but when this kind of thing pops up it screams lazy to me.

@dzintars8034 2 ай бұрын

@@TheRoschi Probably other pyro characters would've worked, I think I remember using Diluc or Bennett in the domain you struggled with, and I used Tighnari instead of Collei for most of Sumeru, Bows are just the most efficient/require the least amount of thinking since they work for nearly any scenario, I know using a bow on mobile mostly sucks in combat because you can't take your time to aim properly. Guoba's aoe and targeting is known to be wild and Xiangling doesn't have any other pyro application outside of that and her large AoE burst so she's not the best for precise puzzles like how different characters have different niches based on their kits But it sucks that you had a bad experience, they should probably be more clear on what type of character you need inside of a domain instead of just an element. Love exploring and doing puzzles but I know it's a bit tedious to have to switch around characters all the time, my hope is that in the future they add the feature to switch between all traveler elements quickly somehow so you don't have to do it as much.

@49:18 it is seemingly random what amber you find Li Dang in. I still remember doing this back in 2020 and finding him in an amber lower down the mountain, while still climbing up, well before meeting Li Ding and getting the Quest. I was like: "Well, here he is, bumped into him on the way up here". I love watching new players play through the game, especially Liyue, and have seen people find Li Dang in different locations, both before and after meeting Li Ding. Oh, and there was no English voice director for most of 1.0 to 1.6, so the pronunciation was all over the map. Both Paimon and Bolai were pretty close, Lee-you-uh, with the e pronounced like in Shenhe (Shen-huh basically). Some Chinese pronunciation is very hard, so don't sweat getting it perfect, I still sometimes mangle Cuijue Slope even after listening to native Chinese speakers.

Eyyy, glad to see this back. You're still in 1.0 here, so the early game dialogue bugs are still present. I don't think they ever had any problems with that in subsequent patches. As for why it happens, personally I think it's because the English localisation team didn't expect the game to be successful in the west, so they didn't put enough care and diligence into it initially. But it still baffles me that they haven't gone back and fixed it. They've redubbed stuff in the past, including literally every line of dialogue Tighnari has ever spoken, so I don't get why they haven't gone back and fixed the beginning, which is arguably the most important part of the game because it needs to hook people. The last song I listened to was probably Ruthlessness from EPIC: The Musical. Wait, no. I was listening to the Genshin soundtrack more recently than that. So it would've been The Final Feast from The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 3 album.
