THIS GENSHIN IMPACT UPDATE IS DRAMATIC | 5.1 LIVESTREAM REACTION

[@thwlrs]

it's pretty obvious who is Il Capitano: Klee/Diona/Nahida in a coat

MASSIVE shout out and all the fucking love to the two guys from the localisation team who hosted the livestream ❤

Truuuuue, i saw some people complaining and calling them random NPCs, but its nice to see that there's still some respectful individuals in the community ^^

Its clearly not their job but they do the best they can do and its done nicely

Preach brother! They did the best to fulfill their roles temporarily, and I hope to God for the VA strike to be resolved soon.

Arnold's chat r the only chat I can bother to read during the livestream. All other streamer's chat keep bashing those localisation team who hosted the stream

[@EngelAguilar]

fr, I think enviosity's chat was very chll, but I tried looking others and now I hate the "NPC" emoji with the huge spam I saw xDD

Didn't realize those two localization team members are Chinese until they said Zhongli and Keqing.

[@knightofiron]

Lol I didn’t notice that

[@kyori75]

Yes, because not Jonlee or Catching

[@phongphamthanh5911]

impossible for them to be chinese with that accent lol, unless they born in chinese and then travelled to america since birth. Also, you dont have to be chinese to correctly spell chinese name, you just have to know the language, and since they are in localization team, obviously they have to know chinese

[@Hy-BridAbroad]

@@phongphamthanh5911 ?? Disagree. I'd def guess that they are Chinese. They have a bit of an accent when speaking English. Not much, but definitely there. I do agree that they've likely spent significant time living in an English-speaking country, though.

[@silverX3870]

​@@Hy-BridAbroad Proof?

[@KategariYami]

Who is Xilonen? For the Blind, she is Mommy. For the hungry, she is Mommy. For the deaf, she is the Music they hear. If there are 1 million fans, I am one of them. If there is only 1, well... There will always be more than 1. And if there are none, then we are all dead. ALL HAIL LADY XILONEN, THE SMITH, THE DJ, THE 80'S, THE TOTAL HECKIN VIBE.

[@BlueDaisy33]

Thank you localizers, you were great and i cant wait for the AQ

[@cloverwizard03alt37]

Can’t believe I experienced first hand Arnold being sent to the Night Kingdom. Anyways time to rewatch this reaction cause I love hearing Arnold’s enjoyment of the game

[@Vo1dGod]

same, I never thought I'd see the day Capitno himself would try to forcefully summon his Number 1 to the Night Kingdom

[@Haraseikusu]

Bro went there to meet his Capitan 😂😂😂😂 (WOULD)

[@ekrymeta]

If Capitano has million fans, then Arnold is one of them. If Capitano has one fan, then Arnold is THAT ONE. If Capitano has no fans, that means it's an alternate universe where Arnold never existed.

[@hahawtf839]

is he going for c6 is the real question :)

[@leoisdumb3508]

​@@hahawtf839 definitely not lmao, he already made that clear

[@nanathedelta8561]

Not gonna lie, I laughed my ass off so hard at Nahida's birthday. There's something funny about planning a secret birthday for a god, that literally can read mind, spy on people from afar, and the one with massive knowledge and wisdom at that too. It wouldnt surprised me one bit if at the end of the event, she said " well, I already knew ! but I kept myself silence since I do not wish to ruin your surprises !" (it fits her characterization too, she's such a sweet girl)

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

I was thinking the same thing after the stream. Nahida would DEFINITELY know about their plans, like I mentioned during the stream, but would keep it to herself until the end of the event and only tell the Traveler.

[@nanathedelta8561]

​@@MurderofBirdsImpact Since we know how messed up the previous Sabzeruz festival was. how funny would that be, say, Nahida just pranks everyone (or maybe just us, the traveler) after the festival by injecting the Akasha "notification" sound in their head. *Beep* PTSD intensifies :D

[@silverX3870]

Nahida wouldn't know unless she reads their minds and since the Akasha is gone now she can't possess other people anymore

[@Tartarboi]

I gotta say, the 4th anniversary song tribute really hit hard, and that might sound cringe but hear me out Genshin is not all about gambling for weapons, characters or spending money. ITS MORE THAN THAT. It's more on the lore, storylines, and characters' backstories and how they might be re-enacted in the main storyline. I've started on 3.7, the Summoners Summit, and ever since encountering Childe in Liyue and getting him in 4.0, made me more attached to the game than ever, because as a Childe enthusiast, main, user and comrade, his whole being made me more invested into stories alot more now, like how his backstory was implemented into Fontaine. Thats how much love Genshin gives, they give their fans, characters, the treatment they deserve at times, some can be rough, but who cares? Its nothing personal after all, its just a story-driven game. And with that, we love you Genshin🎉 *P.S. My adrenaline skyrocketed when they acknowledged Childe's story quest, his battle against the meks and the duel in the golden house with the Foul Legacy, i love him as a character and i love this game*

[@genesissupernova2823]

Always preserve that enthusiasm in you man. Never let anyone take it away from you. (speaking as a fellow Tartaliya enjoyer myself)

[@Tartarboi]

@@genesissupernova2823 appreciate it, we stan for Childe, in defense for childe *and everything, for childe*

[@alexadcv8605]

​​​@@Tartarboi aww i remember Childe is my very first 5 star and i really love him. I might meme him for being "Mr. Worldwide" but no one can stop me from loving him as a character especially Childe being "family-oriented" as an asian I can relate to him so much. I love him he's always be my Main even though I already have so many characters he hold a special place to my heart.

[@dealova1023]

just my take, but you might wanna check the difference between ororon's vision and the others. it feels like there's a difference between gold and silver shells of the vision and a story behind it.

[@sierrablue2206]

I'm currently trying to get rid of all genshin related stuff on my KZbin and TikTok because the constant negativity has been heavily affecting me mentally. Right now, Arnold is the only person I watch for genshin related content. And negativity over a game I love dearly has been really hurting me, and I just need a place where I can feel excited for future versions without so much negativity.

[@harukazi5154]

​@@sierrablue2206 Same. Right now I'm only watching Arnold when it comes to HoyoGames. When youtube recommends a drama channel regarding Genshin, I just quickly click "do not recommend channel" 😅.

[@irinechemist2550]

Honestly I'm more hype about Nahida birthday than AQ. Also just curious, are you just don't want to react to hoyofair or you didn't know it exist? Or maybe you just want to watch for yourself cuz I never really seeing you watching one. So many cool lore animation on the newest hoyofair, it's a shame if you don't watch it.

[@lordgrimm2638]

he hasn't watched most of the hoyofair shows, and even if he plans on doing it, that's low on his list of priorities

[@asbolusarawn5433]

Shout out for the localization team, they're the npcs of the world tree. The Noah's Arc of the Captain is peak as usual, I might be late for the fucking party, but I will ride the submarine to aid the damn captain or swear my oath to the masters of the night wind tribe, because they have my aesthetics! Nahida birthday deserves to be redeem, need the best archon her due! Also, the abyss pylon is deployed at Arnold's location and he is sent to the night kingdom.

[@FurPixelXD]

0:56 one line got him hype quick 😭

[@Nameless422-]

just watched your VOD but came here to rewatch since the two parts are put together where your stream died xD but yea looking forward to 5.1, i still gotta catch up on 5.0 world quests in the meantime :U

[@DarkuleFox]

I am staying strong, I will get Xilonen on her re-run. I must prioritize Mavuika.

[@lilbitfurtheron]

Same I need to stay strong!! Xilonen looks like a Kazuha-level support, but she will undoubtedly run again in the near future, and I really want Mavuika (and her weapon now that the weapon banner is actually reasonable)

[@Akintou]

The part where everyone is battling against the abyss with the orchestral Natlan Theme playing in the background, gave goosebumps

[@darkreaper2528]

Those Localiser Duo did a good job👍

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

Aww man wouldve loved to see your reactions to Citlali and Oloron mkaing their appearance in the AQ

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

Given that Citlali was in the livestream art and Oloron was featured in the trailer, it seemed obvious that they'd be in the AQ lol

[@CrystalRubyMoon]

@@MurderofBirdsImpact Ah true, but I meant more like, the scenes they showcased. Like with Citlali's unique drunk expressions and Oloron having an electro vision 😅

[@ManiacalBlueberry]

13:08 im on observation duty in genshin lol

[@kingmcclawson190]

i knew mavuika was being sus when she met the captain, her "people like us should let our blades do the talking" really felt like her really trying to shut him up, the captain back then was basically saying he would make use of the gnosis to save natlan and do what mavuika is refusing to do based on her own assumptions of the results/aftermath. so the captain really is a righteous dude huh🙏all the more likely to be playable then🙏

[@seishifrost5599]

People on 5.0 release: meh what is this shiny fun kindergarten Hoyoverse: and I took it personal People on 5.1 release: HOLY MOLY, WAR IS WARING 🤣🤣

[@pinoystepmaster]

Inb4 the cliffhanger of the archon quest is Capitano telling Mavuika "I am your father"

[@exploreevery]

As expected Capitano doing he's job as first fatui harbinger ⚡

[@malanimsgaming]

I had to leave the stream because it was laggy for me and your stream was cut off (your obs 😅) Though this was a good 5.1 live stream and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts about what they've shown and once version 5.1 is release, bigg love for you Arnold ❤😁

[@hugothibodeau6137]

the thing that caught the most of my attention for the Archon quest is the pyro gnosis: it look like a king

[@CarlosAnglada]

I think that Capitano could be The Sage of The Stolen Flame.

[@charroboo]

"No views in 15 seconds? Bro fell off". Jk! But in all seriousness, the AQ feels like a finale, Wich is weird because we know it's not.

[@chieftheearl]

Arnold named his sauron to Biboo? Like hololive biboo?

[@Ephenium]

02:48 Oh no maybe Arnold did not hear it 😮

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

I always rewatch trailers so that’s fine. Also, there’s no subtitles during the streams so it’s hard to make out voice lines amidst the sound effects and music

[@Ephenium]

@@MurderofBirdsImpact Understandable! I mean, you're Genshin's ghostwriter so I should've known better haha😂

[@bookswithike3256]

Chatters speculating if Capitano is Xbalanque as if we didn't hear Xbalanque's voice at the end of act 2 of the archon quest and he sounded nothing like Capitano.

[@mjnon2008]

im hybed cant wait to get xilonen

[@partiallywhole]

Imagine if the Fatui's plan involves reviving Xbalanque and by the time Mavuika is playable, she's a normal human with a Pyro Vision instead of an archon because Xbalanque is once again at the Archon throne... And the way Capitano was talking makes you think if Capitano is -Kujo Jotaro- Waxaklahun Ubah Kan, huh...

[@StaringAtThe_5tars]

People in the live stream saying they didn't see new areas but then a new bossfight, I'm sure that the new bossfight contains a new area for it to be placed. OH OH NOT ONLY THAT but while I was exploring around Natlan I found these two NPCs. One just around outside of the stadium where I was trying to see the new areas in the future, a girl from the night wind who was a doctor who ran out of medical supplies. THENNNNN I found another NPC I'm not sure where she was from BUT!!! I think she said she ha da FLYING SUARIAN! And from one of the events I have done, we get a little dragon like thing that kind of has the same model as mini durin but orange and smaller and in an egg. I feel like we MIGHT have a flying saurian or maybe not. But from the NPC with her waiting for her flying saurian companion, it might come true. Unless I had forgotten about what she had said and she doesn't have a flying suarian but idk.. anyways, I hope I ain't the only one whom found these NPCs.. I feel like there are other NPCs from other tribes we aren't around with YET but in the future are around the new Natlan map 5.0 rn.

[@exploreevery]

Finally i can say it Xilonen is very good buffer gives whole team a full dmg bonus from skull artifect. gives decent dps too See ya in 5.1 🔥

[@Aletheia_]

When they mentioned dreamscapes I got Penacony war flashbacks

[@elizabethsolorio9837]

I’m going for all the Natlan characters, not skipping any. Just like with Fontaine! Xilonen has such a Latina vibe, so how can I not pull on the Queen.

[@Guest-lr3eu]

[@uriilife]

i said before, and i repeat. CAPITANO IS THE DRAGON KING

[@XenoProdigy]

Off topic from the video reaction. Are there any plans on making Honkai Impact videos?

[@lockysigarlaki163]

version 5 is really weird, the skipping of archon quests for something in the middle idk what is (5.2) and now we don't have map expansion like usual, what is happening?

[@kingmcclawson190]

id assume 5.2 will be something to do with the captain? for a fatui harbinger hes almost as prevalent as the archon in this version.

[@spacedorito9592]

I guess Hoyo wants to change up a bit, also from what I heard the Natlan Archon Quest will continue beyond 5.2 (which normally ends in X.2 updates). That’s just speculations from what I’ve seen here in YT and other social media.

[@firephoenix8192]

I think it's because we need some information on how abyss, dragons and resurrection of dragons would work? Dragonspine would be perfect to introduce some sort of concept. I say this because they postponed Dain quest to 4.7 for that reason. Arlecchino quest introduced us to the concept of her flames being able to erase memories and Dain quest was about weaving memories. Then night kingdom being able to read memories after being affected by the abyss. We might be introduced to similar concept in 5.2 that's important for 5.3 AQ

[@amarait2]

i cant seem to catch your livestreams because of our timeszones so ill wait your Natlan videos a bit longer... in any case the next acts seem to get intense, and also nahida's deserved birthday party. but the animation with Aether was epic. since people mentioning they maybe teased pyro traveler, i think its only going to happen when he receives a true name, otherwise how can he use nightsouls blessing

[@FaiGal]

I already pulled Kinich and his and Raiden's weapons. I fear I've made a grave miscalculation on skipping Xilonen. 😭 She might be the kind of geo character anyone will ever need on their account, just like Kazuha. I'm so madge

[@Kaslana_Yumma_423]

Citlali my queen

[@SleepyKurisu]

Is it just me....or was this Livestream extremely underwhelming? Like usually with archon quests they leave you with so much to think about after just seeing their trailers but this one has me feeling nothing it just brought up an existing plot point and was heavily hinting at a new one which it does seem exciting but it was just action no dialogue I could really pick apart The localization team members getting some rep was cool though and I think Hoyo must've learned that the community prefers the chibi streams because they were in chibi form although I still wasn't a fan of it I think it's nice that people who work on the game get the chance to talk about it and express themselves during these streams

[@bookswithike3256]

What do you mean it was all action no dialogue? Citlali talked about Ororon being threatened and how she didn't trust Mavuika's plan, they had Capitano talking down to Mavuika, and trying to relate to her, and trying to sway the Traveler to his side, Ororon said something about restraining someone's soul. There's loads of juicy detail in this trailer.

[@nnlopossodire]

Yes, it is just you

[@FaiGal]

Kinda but the QoL features I've been asking for in my surveys are finally getting implemented so personally this was a pog update

[@SleepyKurisu]

@@bookswithike3256 ok but.... that's just confirmation of information we could already make safe assumptions about It's great to see some disagreement with Muavika's plan from someone from Natlan and on the good side and it's also great to know Ouroron's situation but the only thing that really has me doing any sort of thinking is the stuff regarding Capitano Meanwhile with the 5.0 Livestream I had like 50 plus questions and a few theories going through my mind same with other .1 updates this just really didn't do it for me I also feel like some of this information should've been kept secret and not revealed in a trailer like oh cool we know Ouroron's situation before we even get to play the quest

[@bookswithike3256]

@@SleepyKurisu I mean. If they said Ororon was being threatened in the trailer, it's probably not as simple as that. Maybe he's trying to lure them into a trap with a false distress signal, or maybe him being threatened has nothing to do with his allegiance to the Fatui.
