Mihoyo was like: "This cutscene was too great, be a shame to waste it." "Let's make it an Archon quest."

[@rootiyk5032]

Let's hope the 2.3 event quest with Albedo also becomes an archon quest one day

[@rainiplaysgames3545]

@@rootiyk5032 i thought the Susbedo quest was awesome too!! Def archon quest worthy.

[@juampisito]

@@rainiplaysgames3545 or maybe not archon but not temporary

[@toffole_4893]

@@juampisito it sure is like Albedo's Character's story quest pt 2 worth

[@tristanmanalo6252]

I think this has been made as an archon quest because of the involvement of an Archon is at play

Key melodies that I (and others) have picked up: 0:33 Tale of the Yakshas (Story Teaser Yakshas: The Guardian Adepti. Great catch, @Lorian Grace.) 0:55 Dance with the Great Vortex (Osial's Theme) 1:18 Doombane (Xiao's Theme), specifically the Teyvat Battle Leitmotif. You could hear the Teyvat Battle Leitmotif in Xiao's Theme Doombane, as well. More recognizable parts of Doombane get more prominent in 1:21 and 1:49 1:30 Tale of the Yakshas (same with 2:48, thanks to @Jasper Hu himself) 2:23 I thought that this part was Rage Beneath the Mountains (Azhdaha's Battle Theme), turns out it was from Tale of the Yakshas. Thanks for pointing it out, @floppy fish and @Seiro Hoàng. 2:39 Dance with the Great Vortex 3:06 Doombane (arranged in such a mellow, tragic way btw ;-;) 3:45 Beginning of Through the Eyes of a Dragon (Azhdaha's Theme, Zhongli's Story Quest Act II. Very fitting, as Xiao was saved by Rex Lapis, the same as he did to Azhdaha. And we all know that Through the Eyes of a Dragon is basically Rex Incognito in orchestral arrangement.) Truly a great cutscene. One of the best story quests so far. Props to mhy for upping themselves everytime.

[@cereal950]

u can also hear a little of doombane at 2:00! :D

[@loriangrace3006]

Also, the beginning used the theme of Legend of Guardian yakshas cutscene there.

[@Iori-kun]

@@cereal950 Yes, that is included under the 1:49 timestamp.

[@Iori-kun]

@@loriangrace3006 can you tell me which part?

[@Iori-kun]

@@loriangrace3006 Okay, I listened to that one, I finally got it. I'll edit it in!

[@Sinamuna]

My heart wasn't ready. It never is with this cutscene. Everytime it gets to the part where Xiao teleports everyone, I bawl like nobody's business. ;o; Xiaaaao I love him so much

[@vlaaa_0.0]

literally same

[@loola8908]

No matter how much I rewatch it, that scene where he teleports everyone and Paimon calls out his name, I just have to tear up. The music is also super emotional in that part

[@vlaaa_0.0]

@@loola8908 EXACTLY THAT PART YES it hurts so much

[@xymidori]

Same it's so sad even though he was saved, because he was prepared to sacrifice himself. I could not stop crying for Xiao the whole time after seeing that :(

[@Qrmsil]

Help will his banner be the last of his rerun?

[@sage-vr6bu]

THIS SCENE MADE ME CRY FOR 15 MINUTES STRAIGHT

[@aight_lol]

Not enough people talk about 2:23. This is the best part from the tale of the yakshas imo

[@warduxe]

ikr

[@loola8908]

2:23 is where the Yaksha theme music starts playing back from the Story Teaser: Guardian Adepti cutscene. That is so so goodddd

[@b04stert04ster]

Xiao's theme playing in some parts of the cutscene got a hard reaction out of me, especially at 3:10. I'm a sucker for scenes that play the focus character's theme and this piece (both the OG and your cover) did it amazingly well. Tbh this entire quest made me like and appreciate Xiao a lot more, playstyle and character wise...too bad I'm broke on primos after getting Yelan and her weapon .-. Amazing arrangement and performance as always! You were able to convey the magic, hype and tragedy of the original piece/cutscene in piano awesomely :)

[@orangeoblivion8714]

Bro I almost cried at 3:10

[@tofukiyo]

Samee

[@user-xj8bn1su8l]

3:14 that instant change to soft from crescendo was so beautifully executed... This piece as a whole is just so amazing

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

This cutscene made me tear up when I played the quest, and I keep tearing up whenever I rewatch it in other places. And now, hearing your piano version just hits me in a different way 😭😭 IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@hyacinths8698]

2:34 so stay alive, bravely~~

[@aphxdea]

I was NOT ready for the cutscene. Xiao was my favorite character becayse I could relate to his problems on a decent level. He was my comfort character and I was able to put two/platform breaking and two/Xiao teleporting us out together and I was crying. I was saying that Hoyoverse wouldn't kill a playable character before I remembered the redhead, himeko I believe? who was dead. I was definitely an emotional wreck that time. Because of this cutscene, my love for Genshin Impact only grew. I am a person who is very invested in the lore on most books and games but Genshin just does it for me. They are so attentive in small details and I love how they connect a small story from an artifact to a weapon's and the characters. I adore the music and how beautiful everyone is and I will forever treasure this game. Due to my reasons, I was never one who cared about others opinions. So if people say it's not good to pull Xiao at this time, I still will. I missed his banners due to a few accidents I was in and I do not intend this time to be a waste. I wish everyone pulling on any character luck!~ I also got a Mona and I'm f2p. Sucks to be me.

[@nocturvance4962]

Can't wait, it's one of my favorite music in Genshin Impact , thank you Scott.

[@stormaustin2436]

The first thing I lost my mind over in this cutscene was the variation of Xiao's theme, it was so seamlessly and perfectly added to highlight the danger of the scene! This arrangement honestly gave me goosebumps, I'm floored, keep up the amazing work!

[@KingJH0510]

The part where yanfeis pyro abilities fused with yelans hydro threads is what real elemental reactions should look like Imagine ambers fiery rain but electro infused so every shot explodes Imagine xingqius rainswords but frozen If genshin was an anime instead of a game stuff like that scene would be commonplace

[@nala_crystal]

3:06 This moment... 😭😭

[@yuxethic]

thank you for this INSANE piano cover… woa.. the drop when Xiao fell and this- AHH

[@Syllkie]

I've been wanting to hear your version of this cutscene! This has got to be one of the most thrilling cutscenes so far! The song really gives out those heart chemicals lol.🥳

[@sourojitmondal134]

Exactly what I thought when I listened to the actual cut scene there is overlord of the vortex (osial battle) theme mixed in here which is made clear by this arrangement. For example @ 0:54

[@user-qd4mg6ct3y]

感動…ありがとうございます😭✨

[@precious_shun]

2:34 this part reminds me of Nightglow

[@strangedeadmonster9246]

It sounds the same

[@facelessidiot6407]

That is from Nightglow. (Specifically the part that goes: "So stay alive, bravely.")

[@saflanix]

3:10 the 3 chords are actually quite similar to the melody in frozen’s do u wanna build a snowman where the parents’ ship got overwhelmed by a giant wave which made me even more sad for some reason lol Realised this while doing laundry and humming😂 (idk why but sometimes my brain subconsciously finds songs that corresponds to different emotions and then I just casually sing them and I don’t even realise how they are connected until I remember the context of the song) Edit: I just realised again these 3 chords I mentioned are actually from xiao’s theme, in a different key🥺

[@lyzhiii]
