Honkai Star Rail Fan REACTS to Genshin Impact Version Trailers Part 1 (Release - 2.8)

[@LordeChalupa]

Hey everybody, I think I managed to up the mic quality in this one more so than the last one. Sadly there was some lag when I recorded last night but it was very little. I think one of the toughest things about making these videos is getting the right settings for my mic because it's still not perfect after testing it over and over again. It's also way tougher making a good intro than I thought it would be. Reacting is definitely the fun part. I just have to give my genuine thoughts and feelings and boom. Once again really enjoyed these Genshin Trailers. After I check out all the content people want me to react to, the next step will be playing the game. I can't wait!

[@Keiki-kun]

they don't necessarily have spoilers the scenes and dialogues in them are intentionally taken out of context, things in the trailers happen but not in the order shown and sometimes a sequence of scenes are actually from two or three completely different quests with no relationship between them but at the same time they fit together perfectly

[@Rodzario]

Yessss, for old players that experienced some of the first trailer, we got jebaited so many times LOL

[@stevieveringus3857]

Xiao is a cinnamon roll and his behavior is the sweetest one can have while going through what he is going through. His other language VAs sound more tired and depressed.

[@godtierbp1928]

Agreed, the vibe he gives is very different in other languages

[@astronought_]

something i’ve always wondered: are the combat voicelines different in other languages? i feel like “weak” “worthless” “cry” are gonna be edgy no matter how tired your tone 💀

[@notyou9061]

idc what how tired or depressed it sounds, CN Xiao has a godly voice, especially when doing fansongs (I still use EN tho)

[@tksrmo]

Xiao's En voice is not as good as other languages from my perspective, it doesn't quite match his character

[@tksrmo]

​@@astronought_it doesn't necessarily have to be edgy, Xiao's mood during a fight should be more indifference but strong-willed rather than just being edgy, that’s what his character is more likely to be from official perspective, in this regard, I believe the voices that JP and CN was doing in Xiao's character trailer were far better.

[@partypoison9153]

12:05 that's diluc and he doesn't have a trailer (along with some other characters who are on the standard banner since the game's release) And you're right he totally deserved a trailer!!

[@galaxa13]

I think people telling you Xiao isn't an edgelord are using a different definition. He is an "original" edgelord, meaning he's what people who try to ACT dark and cool emulate. He's not putting on a performance, he just IS. So anyone saying he isn't an edgelord probably mean he isn't some try-hard putting on a front to seem cooler than he really is. Xiao is a great character, he cares about the people close to him and he's quite honorable. He's just been through a lot of painful things and tends to be a loner.

[@annaairahala9462]

Exactly!

[@Dazaiburger]

Yea he just keeps distance from others coz he's afraid that his karma would hurt them too

[@hasturvoid]

i think they are saying that because calling someone an edgelord is not positive and takes away from any character's nuance (which it does, just look at how many people in the community reduce him to thag title when they wouldn't do the same thing for similar characters)

[@shinhonwy]

​@@hasturvoidi remember that time when there was an uprise of people calling him heartless because he's a loner and tends to send away people when they approach him, but he really isn't heartless at all. he knows what the karmic binds do to him and he knows what it did to his fellow yakshas, so he just puts on a giant "do not come close - there are potential death and madness here" sign

[@annaairahala9462]

@@hasturvoid it doesn't. The people who think it takes away from his character are misunderstanding the term and thinking it implies something negative

[@gstdarmawan]

"Wanderer's evil twin brother" nope ,but he got 1 "evil" twin sister 🗿

[@LordeChalupa]

O god

[@al103]

About Genshin ending: 1. You may notice that those are not chapters, they are acts of the Teyvat Chapter of the story. 2. Khaenriah is not numbered for reason and there should be at least Abyss and Celestia acts too. 3. HI3 had long main story that was finally finished... and now have separate 2.0 with different characters, so starting another story when one ended is not something new.

[@Keiki-kun]

btw there is no filler in Genshin summer events are gigantic lore bombs and calm and funny versions end up having lore bombs and revelations everywhere There was an event where people were uninterested calling it filler and things like that and this event ended up having one of the biggest lore bombs in the game revealing that there is a circle of witches in the game

[@anurmi5717]

All event content is filler and is not even permanently in the game. Nothing that is revealed is important for the story but it is good and teasing future content.

[@Keiki-kun]

@@anurmi5717 I've never seen someone say something so completely wrong You don't even understand what filler means, do you happen to also not know how to use POV?

[@LordeChalupa]

Thats good, and that also means they did a good job of not spoiling the story in these trailers

[@kskr8610]

thing is they provide lore but technically they can be still considered as filler because the lore is not so tightly connected to the main story, as in if a player does miss these events they can still experience every other content of the game just fine, anything important is reiterated

[@Keiki-kun]

@@LordeChalupa Look at that, wasn't I absolutely correct? This "filler" version has a gigantic lorebomb in the form of a book that tells a story about Khaenri'ah and probably has ties to Arlecchino who could have guessed that 👀🤣

[@trashraccoon2635]

exploration in genshin is really crazy, and there's a ton to do if you're a new player. some quests will allow you to open the maps (inazuma's quests lead to the islands, aranara quest in sumeru opens some specific area of the map) and some super interesting lore are locked behind quests. the game only really feels dry once you've done tons of explorations and basically 100% your maps as well as done all your quests. also, one unfortunate thing about genshin is past events are not replayable :') also, you noticed in your demo reaction video you said you're open to constructive criticism. one thing i noticed in this video is that you can afford to make the lil square for your face bigger because as of now it looks more like a tiny postage stamp on a postcard. also maybe the volume? i have some difficulty hearing what you said over the trailers' volume. otherwise, it's been nice! your reaction is much calmer than a lot of reactors', which is honestly a breath of fresh air? looking forward for more from you.

[@LordeChalupa]

Thanks for the input! I didn't want to cover too much of the trailer but if more people think I should make the cam square bigger then I will.

[@N5FX]

Enjoy yourself dude and please don't worry too much about the few bad apples in the community

[@LordeChalupa]

Thanks! And 99% of people have been incredibly supporting and kind in the comments!

[@natsuyuki8415]

No need to worry about the game being 'almost' done. Each Chapter takes a year nor is it certain that the game ends immediately after these chapters. Also, you have plenty of time to catch up before we head to Natlan at the end of August based on previous years.

[@philippgro2797]

10:57 Fischel mispronounced it instead of "Prinzessin der verurteilung" (Princess of Condemnation), she pronounced it "Princess of verörtelung" (this word don't exist)

[@moommooo]

Usually for every patch Genshin has this format of releasing these types of content, similar to HSR (order by priority): 1. Archon quest/interlude quest(Main storyline) 2. New area 3. 1 big limited time event that is voice acted (sometimes certain cities get decorated for the occassion) 4. Limited character/ weapon banners. (As of 4.5 there will be a total of 5 banners in 1 patch, 2 in the 1st half and 2 in the 2nd plus an extra banner with characters relevant to the big event) 5. Smaller events to get Primogems Genshin also has annual events such as lantern rite (Lunar new year) that are always available every year. Plus usually before a .0 update comes out (aka a new nation) the devs release a limited time area to explore (such as Golden apple archipelago and The Veluriyam Mirage)

[@jazeee1313]

You're definitely gonna love the story of Yelan's coat 😂

[@LordeChalupa]

I'm looking forwards to it

[@bellaputeri1729]

When you said “She has a five star design.” That’s Ningguang. She is originally supposed to be a five stars but for some reason Hoyo nerfed her to 4 stars. But she is still awesome as a character. Pretty decent dps but very niche.

[@LordeChalupa]

Being a four star means easier to get, so a plus in my book

[@vivi_blaiddyd]

Ahh thank you for reacting to them!! Imma have fun watching this now :3 And I absolutely cannot wait to see you play it sometime then!~ This game is just incredible

[@LordeChalupa]

Once I get through all of the trailers and I believe teasers were requested as well, playing it will come next.

[@vivi_blaiddyd]

@@LordeChalupaHell yes I cannot wait at all! The version trailers will get even better still :D And I had to laugh in the first trailer with the chapters, when you said "Dimitri?" to Dainsleif (that is his name btw!) Because I thought the exact same thing when I first saw Dain xD

[@TheCsel]

Much of these trailers involve limited time events along with the main story. Unfortunately Genshin does not have a way to play past events, though with any luck they will add one eventually. Some events are annual, like the Lantern Rite is the Lunar New Years, and there is usually a Summer Event (involving Klee?), and each region has various holidays and festivals.

[@annaairahala9462]

1:07:05 yes, it's gothic lolita (or just lolita) and chinese opera style. The outfit itself isn't fully Chinese opera

[@Osun6]

love your vibes! Also, watching these demos and trailers alongside you has been a nice trip down memory lane, so thank you :) 18:46 getting distracted by chests, puzzles, and sidequest is honestly the best part of the game for me haha

[@-amel-9896]

1:13:45 he's actually a silly little dude and not some evil guy that's why the laugh sounded so underwhelming he's just pretending. It's basically Miko's old bestie

[@LordeChalupa]

Oh, lol

[@DR_REDACTED]

1:17:37 Lets just say yes

[@hanbaebummie3215]

4:03 Yes!! 4:25 - 4:30 Yes they are twins and They are both cats one just doesn’t have Ears and a Tail and Yes genetics 15:30 I want to say that Xinyan and Barbara have the same Va!!! Also Xingqiu and Bennett! 18:52 the exploration is big! 38:23 Only two out of the three are siblings >.>

[@Charlotella]

Glad you enjoyed these! The trailers just get better and better with each version - some are filler patches with less content though. Can't wait to see you play the game!☺

[@LordeChalupa]

I can't wait either!

[@taylordidomenico182]

The red head at the beginning with the Phoenix, his name is diluc. There are videos called collected miscellany and he has one of those and theyre all voiced by the same guy who voiced the travail trailer, dainsleif.

[@taylordidomenico182]

Those videos aren’t mandatory but they show a more in-depth look at most of the characters kits. They’re longer than the demos but theyre really insightful

[@LordeChalupa]

That'd be incredible if all their games recieve second parts!

[@Keiki-kun]

Counting with the travail trailer there are 3 story teasers which are equivalent to the myriad celestia trailers, most of the teasers and cutscenes are in the game itself One thing I don't like about Myriad Celestia is that they give information that could have been explored in the game itself most of the time while in Genshin these teasers are more like things that happen off screen

[@cav09]

After watching all version trailers, I recommend reacting to all character teasers (they show you the personality of most of the 5 Star charcters), then the collected miscellaneous (they show you how the gameplay of the charcters work) and if you don‘t mind spoilers you can react to the story teasers (they show some ingame cutscenes [without context you won‘t be really spoiled], some of them are from limited time events, mainstory or character storyquests aswell as a few outgame cutscenes)

[@Grimsoul09]

21:42 So true about ningguang (that's her name). She was initially intended to be a 5 star but the game had too many 5 stars on release so they decided to decrease her rarity.

[@lauramichelin3538]

Kazuha is an awesome character in my opinion, truly well developed and written. His story, personality, design and gameplay are god tier for me (in fact he's my second fav after Furina). The lore of Inazuma clans (kaedehara, kamisato, etc.) is very rich and very interesting you'll see. We learned a lot about his backstory in the 2.8 event sadly it was temporary so it won't come back again :(

[@BeylerTSGames]

On versions 3.0+ the trailers are getting better and better in terms of animation

[@moommooo]

Sadly many of the characters that are released during the first batch didn't get trailers. It's kinda like HSR when it first came out. You don't see a demo for Welt or Hook or Qingque

[@LordeChalupa]

That is very true

[@pal1d1nl1ght]

5:07 Incandescent means something is lit from heat. Like a stove or a lightbulb. Or the sun.

[@lop90ful1]

To be fair Summer Fnatasia was a fantastic event patch even if temporary all the envoriments,music and story were really good, always love me some Fischl lore. Sometimes the events are super filler but most of the time they turn out pretty good,but yea comapred to story i guess you could call them filler. Archons are like the main story but you also have Dainself story quest that drops bettwen filler patches so its like >story>story >filler >dainslef > filler >new region The tea pot is customizible player housing.

[@cyberdragoon1432]

39:51 Yeah this time-limited event and Kazuha’s release were meant to tease Inazuma as that event boss does show up as a open-world boss

[@AD-pi1rr]

The lady you keep saying looks like a 5 star is Ningguang! I agree she is gorgeous and her design is still one of my favourite in the game. She is a 4 star, but 4 star character actually do get trailers when they release alongside the new 5 star's trailer. However, a lot of the launch characters did not get trailers like her and Diluc, which is the red haired guy in the earlier trailers with the phoenix you thought looked cool. He is a 5 star.

[@LordeChalupa]

Thanks for the info, at least since she's a four star I'm more likely to get her

[@safirasnh]

10:10 oh my god if you are gonna play this game, oh boy you are IN for a RIDE😂 goodluck on hearing paimon 25/8

[@justrandomgamesandotherthings]

1:23:30 - If you think those sounds that you think are evil then you're terribly wrong. They're not evil at all. You'll understand when you play it. On the contrary the voice fits so well. It's just your perspective at the moment is from someone who has not played that part of the game yet which is understandable. Also, the trailers misdirect you to what you should concentrate in. They combine audio and video from different parts of the patch that gives off a different vibe or different lore than when you play it.

[@npdekuu2143]

I can relate to the laggy YT videos😭 my potato laptop does that on even 1080p videos Other than that, I like your way of analysis. Not too over the top, not mindless nodding... Really enjoyed the reactions!!

[@deductionsdiary105]

Version 2.8 was very much not a filler, it gave us FIVE character backstories, a continuity, a very interesting hint towards Sumeru, and also stories that fill in previous lores.

[@scrappy_horns8139]

26:54 Hahaha everyone falls for Lisa…🤣 me included.. 27:28 did i see Aether swinging the Royal Sword? Lol i forgot he had an expensive weapon before… Raiden’s sword? We call it the Booba sword 😂😂😂

[@galaxa13]

Oh no, yeah, if you don't like that high-pitched voice you're going to have a rough time with the game since she does talk a lot and that voice-line is from the start of the game before the voice actor started using an even high voice.

[@LordeChalupa]

I'm sure i'll get used to it...I hope

[@El_chara]

I think they might add one more chapter to the game because there is a sort of kingdom in the sky called "Celestia" and, this is a theory, but I think it might end up being the last chapter

[@Nowaylarry]

Yeah, Xiao isn't an edgelord. He is just a character designed to appeal to edgelords.

[@AndreaIglecias]

Part 2 pls

[@LordeChalupa]

More content the better!

[@Talguy21]

That kind of lag seems to be the KZbin Auto Quality thing getting confused and pseudo-crashing. It happened a lot for me before I upgraded my PC. Switching the quality off of Auto should resolve it- but then KZbin will just switch it back on later now... so ymmv actually stringing videos together like this.

[@LordeChalupa]

I see, I'll have to check that out.

monas outfit was changed in china due to censorship but you can use both skins in game

[@LordeChalupa]

I see, I'm glad global can switch between them. Use the more conservative if you like it and other's can use the more Mona outfit.

[@suppichan27]

Oh the trailers! Hooray! 24:48 - The cut scenes are from in game. Some are from events that you can no longer play while others are during the main story. 41:49 - Oh fans are very aware of the cat. In fact you can find the cat at his grave in game. Not going to lie, 2.2 and 2.3 had 2 of the best limited time events. The Albedo quest in 2.3 really should've been a permanent. I recommend looking up the cutscene for that event.

[@LordeChalupa]

I will as long as it's an event no longer available. Otherwise I'll wait for in game

[@suppichan27]

@@LordeChalupa it's no longer available. So watching scenes from it will not spoil the current game story.

a handful of the early characters in the first two regions did not get trailers. And they are some of the cooler characters too sadly.

[@vladicemo]

The characters that you saw, but they did not have a trailer, are not 4*, these are standard characters from the start of the game. All 4* characters also have trailers, these are the ones that are shorter than the others

Actually all four stars don't have trailers. Amber, Lisa, Chongyun, Xingqiu, Barbara, Razor are all examples of four stars that don't have them. A lot of the 1.0 characters don't.

Btw the character who didn't got a trailer are those who were available since de beta (like Beidou, the piate girl in Kazuha's trailer, Diluc the man with the Phoenix or Ningguang the girl you've seen in the really first trailer and fighting the big Dinosaur) which makes sence because a trailer is meant to announce but they were already in the game... No need to announce then

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

I’d explain why there were two Raiden Shoguns but that would be going into spoiler territory. This game started out as a fun and entertaining story but it really started to amp up during Inazuma but, that’s Hoyoverse for you, for me, it all started with Honkai Impact 3rd and now, I see everyone playing a Hoyoverse game and say, “Oh, you think this is a simple game, you have no idea what you’re up against”

xiao is an absolute edgelord (second only to wanderer) but he also can be v sweet/thoughtful + he’s slowly learning about the power of friendship, lol. raiden’s sword comes from her heart and is a symbol of her steadfast will, but the way to the heart is through the (ample) cleavage. genshin players continue to struggle with the concept that things can be more than one thing ;) other thoughts: - based diluc enjoyer - if u like black+blue ur gonna LOVE genshin skins. these mfs at hoyo never heard of any other colors! the pricing is a bit variable bc of currency bundling but i’d put them around $15-25 except for diluc’s bc he’s a capitalist wine tycoon or something idk - nice catch on the kazuha v. raiden scene - tbh ur brand of chill horny is v funny i love it - fischl’s actually just a chuuni, but she’s a princess to ME - i appreciate ur aptitude for pronunciation and etymology, lol. archaic english (childe, wriothesley) is annoying and lawless and therefore shouldn’t count. huohuo’s a tough one, kind of like hwuh-hwuh…try saying “water” in your best jersey accent and take the “wa” and put an “h” in front - cannot wait to see you react to the second half of these. especially 4.2!
