This is my first-ever video so give me whatever constructive criticism you may have so I can improve. Also, sorry for any scuffed audio at times. I'll do my best to get that fixed. Anyway, I loved these characters and will probably try out the game in the near future. My favorite trailers were: Zhongli's and Xianyun's Leave comments on who your favorites are

[@mr.zhongli6886]

Watch teyvat chapter, winter night lazzo, final feast video of Genshin

[@loukasdreemingtun6543]

A vision is a sort of talisman, allowing one to channel elemental power.

[@Ruishi_Awoushi_]

Witness the final calamity!

[@mohammadgamer6875]

all the archons

[@DarkUltima999]

yeah those trailers are the reason i started the game :D

[@JabelldiMarco]

Some characters aren't young, just small (eg. Albedo, Tighnari, Xiao, Ganyu, Keqing, Wanderer); ...but YaoYao really is a child, just a really sensible, reasonable and careful. Great - if typical - Nahida reaction; but you can get her as soon as her banner returns, you don't need to reach or finish her region.

[@Vert344]

Technically Sayu too.. She's supposedly around the same age as Ayaka.... she's just short. lol

[@RizzVoiceVA]

Glad you like the introduction to the characters lol also some Voice Actors that are in this game is also in H.S.R for instance the VA for Rosaria is the VA for Natasha another is Yanfei VA is also Sparkle that just came our for H.S.R lol oh yeah raiden pulls the sword out of her chest aka why majority say it's the booba sword lol

[@DreamyGalina]

Blade and Lyney

[@koirvne]

Jingyuan and Cyno too

[@DreamyGalina]

@@koirvne Caelus and Gaming. :3

[@sg-te9pu]

Yelan too

[@Lewy94999]

Mona and Asta. Which is hilarious, as both of their professions are about stars (astrology and astronomy) and both have problems with their spending habits.

[@_crow_moon_]

A vision is like a magical gem, they are blessings from the gods that give their owners the ability to control the elements. Basically all playable characters have visions, except the traveler, the gods and the dragons

[@suppichan27]

14:22 - "It sounds Russian". Good, because it is. Snezhnaya means "Snowy" in Russian, and the region will be based on Russia/Slavic countries. At the time of this comment, Childe (pronounced just like 'child') is the only playable character from that region. (it's not unlocked yet) 15:18 - I'm positive that Xinyan and Serval would be besties if they ever met. 17:24 - Zhongli is one of the best units in the game. He's the best shielder, or you can build him as a DPS and do massive damage. Very much a Must Pull. We love out CEO of GEO. Just a note, every nation in Genshin is based on a real country/region IRL. Zhongli is from Liyue, which is based on China.

[@LordeChalupa]

I assumed that was the case. I've never been to China but I could still tell that some of the areas were very Chinese inspired.

[@CruelestChris]

I wouldn't say DPS Zhongli does _massive_ damage. He does some damage.

[@gzuzumaki2]

Yep Wanderer can fly in game! The full backstory behind his name is indeed a spoiler, he's a character that was originally introduced in a time-limited event back in version 1.1 If you play Genshin now, however, you'll be meeting him much later in game (namely in Inazuma rather than Mondstadt/Liyue) One thing you might notice is his demo trailer is a bit similar to Raiden Shogun's trailer :)

[@DR_REDACTED]

4:05 She is not the typical western zombi but a jiāngshī, also known as a Chinese hopping vampire, a type of reanimated corpse in Chinese legends and folklore. The characters for "jiāngshī" are read goeng-si in Cantonese. The use of a talisman on its forhead is to make the corpses move by themselves for easier transportation. Talismans are written in vermillion which represents pure Yang energy.

[@El_chara]

"she is just living for the performance" yes, you could say that, sadly

[@musicvideo5946]

Fun facts: -Kazuha has 6 different sheathing animations. -Dancing is Eula's hobby/specialty, not her job. -Xiao is the only Yaksha left in the entirety of Teyvat. -Zhongli was not great when he first came out, he's godly good now after HoYo reworked him. -Childe/Tartaglia/Ajax has a big family: 2 older bros, 1 older sis, 1 younger sis, 2 younger bros (Childe is the middle child fr lmao). -Rosaria's booba got nerf and she also got a more "conservative" outfit (optional for all but Chinese players). -We haven't meet Klee's mother yet but we have "communicate" with her, she's a very important & powerful figure of Teyvat. -Mona's master is friend with Klee's mother and Albedo's mother. -Hu Tao's ghost is Boo Tao -Wanderer has more than 3 names/titles. (See cmt) -Freminet doesn't wear short, it's his 1-piece diver suit covered by his coat. His hat is also a "collapsed" version of his diving helmet.

[@Ahru]

Slight correction, wanderer didnt forget his birth name- he never even got one, he was a nameless prototype puppet.

[@musicvideo5946]

@@Ahru No, he actually forgot it, it's said in the Calabash of Awakening artifact (Goblet piece of Husk of Opulent Dreams set).

[@Ahru]

@@musicvideo5946 Bro ik but it's been stated multiple times that he never got a name, the whole big thing about his character is that he never had a real one, even the line in Japanese in Polumnia Omnia translates to "why did you throw me away before giving me a name" The name mentioned in calabash of awakening is meant to be kabukimono, which isn't his birth name

[@Is33y]

[@zeleros71324]

As someone who's favourite character is wanderer/scaramouche, I can very confidently confirm that Ei never gave him a name

[@justrandomgamesandotherthings]

2:48:00 - She's also shown in Yaoyao's trailer as the one the adepti birds she was referring to.

[@LordeChalupa]

You're right, the white crane was her?

[@justrandomgamesandotherthings]

@@LordeChalupa Yes, it's her. People have been asking for a playable adepti since the her bird form was shown since version 1.0 or 1.1 if I'm not mistaken. It's been so long. She came out version 4.4

[@DanaOtken]

The sword is stored within her soul, but uses the heart of her body as an access point. Her cleavage is simply in the way. Fun detail: in the process of creating the technique she uses to store this sword, the Raiden Shogun invented that "sheathe your sword into the air via your other hand" technique that the other Inazuman playable sword-wielders can be seen using: if you pay close enough attention you can actually see that the Shogun's crest briefly appears when they use it to mark that. [Appended] Gorou is a dog demonstrating his greatest virtue is loyalty. Thus, his stomach is exposed. [Appended later]: 'Candace' is a derivative of the title 'Kandake', used in some African tribes to denote a matriarch. It seems that due to interchange between Egypt and further south, the name passed through Egypt into Greece, where as the name 'Candace' it returned into Egypt. I would say we're using the spellings to denote origin points, but all of this is a little vague, and it gets into periodically controversial territory.

[@yonasaito7475]

Yea don't worry about Wriothesleys name, he is uuh, special. It's pronounced close to Rise-ly. His name actually has a funny story behind it. To keep it spoiler free, some stuff happened and he wanted to start over in life. He wanted a new name as well. so he picked Wriothesley simply because it is so weird and difficult to pronounce. He loves watching people freaking out on how to pronounce it. And if you want Furina, we are now at the end of version 4.4, Furina is rumored to have a rerun in 4.6. So start saving those primos! Banners work the same as in Honkai Star Rail

[@aliwi3476]

Genshin does more "in game" trailers , Hsr as turn base game show more made animation. Furina rerun most likely will be one after the next patch (90%). But for saving a bit you can start right at the start of the next patch ≈ 11 days. Also you 150% would like a character (Knave or Arlecchino for searching some art) that's coming with Furina in 4.6 patch

[@LordeChalupa]

Yeah, I noticed that the trailers for Genshin show more gameplay than the Star Rail ones. I'm a huge fan of the animations and music from the Star Rail one's but the Genshin one's are also great in that they show off each character's gameplay quite a bit. I really hope I'm able to start playing the game by that point to get Furina 🤞🤞🤞

[@justrandomgamesandotherthings]

Yep. Imo, Genshin has better trailers. The music fits so well with its own trailers. As for HSR, there are only a few that's good.

[@ucmanhle9601]

@@justrandomgamesandotherthings Agree. There's no trailer for 4 star HSR characters so the number of possible good trailers is already down by half. And among the 5 star trailers, the one that really makes me rewatch multiple times (through others reactions) is only Kafka, Huohuo and Sparkle.

[@justrandomgamesandotherthings]

@@ucmanhle9601 If you separate HSR demo audio and video, they're good by themselves but they don't compliment each other very well for most trailers unlike Genshin where everything compliments each other.

[@mr.zhongli6886]

​@@ucmanhle9601so hsr doesn't have trailer for 4*?

[@Lewy94999]

33:20 The lady in Kazuha's trailer is Beidou. She's the captain of The Crux, which is an armed fleet based in Liyue.

[@umani9983]

Genshin has a lot of neat details aswell. For example, people who are related in some way like siblings and teacher/ student who use the same weapons would have similarities in attack moves because they've learned the similar fighting style.

[@ctran1955]

Haven’t finished the video but in case no one mentions it, 1:01:43 YunJins outfit is not gothic Lolita, it’s based off of Chinese opera! Good guess tho!

[@Keiki-kun]

Now that I mentioned the character similarities between the games I realized something HuoHuo has the design of Sucrose and the vibe of Hutao and Guinaifen has Yoimiya's personality while Sparkle has Yoimiya's design

[@mon4818]

Protect Nahida at all costs. 🥺

[@noox13]

Baizhu's demo music is one of those tracks that I didn't realize I would like so much, until it was official released in it's album and I heard it again on its own!

[@moommooo]

There are some characters that share the same VA between star rail and genshin! Natasha & Rosaria Asta + Hook & Mona Jingyuan & Cyno Sushang & Dori Arlan & Nilou Yanqing & Dehya Male Trailblazer & Ga ming

[@yts2103]

Loved that you took the time to read their little introduction! love your vibes~

[@Sheevlord]

Albedo's trailer references the first ever limited time event in Genshin, from 1.0. It had a rather rudimentary story: Timaeus (Albedo's student) built an alchemical crucible and asked the player to help test it. The gameplay was coop only and consisted of grabbing elemental thingies that spawned in the arena and carrying them to the crucible while fighting off enemies. Kreideprinz means "chalk prince" in German.

[@CruelestChris]

Didn't it also consist of fighting a really big Whopperflower, or was that the second one?

[@Sheevlord]

@@CruelestChris That's the event from the 1.2 version.

[@bookswithike3256]

Childe is just pronounced child. It's an archaic title meaning "young nobleman." Tartaglia is also not his name. His real name is Ajax. Snezhnaya is indeed Russia, possibly with some more Slavic countries mixed in too. And there's potentially some Italian influence too, since their military is led by characters based on the Italian theatre tradition of Commedia dell'Arte. Each region in Genshin is based on different real-world locations. Other than Snezhnaya: Mondstadt is based on Germany, potentially with other European influences. It also has British influences, primarily in the form of referencing Arthurian legend. Liyue is based on China. I forget which specific time period. Inazuma is based on Edo period Japan. Sumeru is based on the Persian Empire. So it's primarily middle eastern, but also has influences from India, Egypt and Turkey. Fontaine is primarily based on industrial revolution France, but also has British and Italian influences. This is the most recent region in the game. The next region, Natlan, seems like it's going to be based on colonial Mesoamerica, combined with central and west Africa. I was hoping it would be precolonial, but the information we have now indicates that's not the case. Then there's Snezhnaya, which we've already covered. And finally there's Khaenri'ah, which appears to be based on a combination of Scandinavia and Germanic countries, but also potentially Ancient Greece? Aloy appears to have been added to the game as a requirement from Sony for getting the game on Playstation. The devs seem to have put minimum effort into her and pretend she never existed, and the move was largely poorly received by the playerbase. 1:00:06 I mean technically. The original Chinese name for Vision translates to "Eye of god." Visions are the gems most characters wear that show what element they have - they're what give people elemental powers. Yun Jin is a Geo character. Which is basically the earth element. 1:07:19 I mean I doubt Chongyun would mind that. 🏳‍🌈 (I am obligated to state that this is not canon, lest the reactionary side of the Genshin fandom jump down my throat. But I mean... _come on._ ) Tighnari is based on a fennec fox. He and Collei are the Dendro element, which is plants. It has always been in the game, but they were the first playable characters who had it, and they were released in version 3.0. The name Candace is based on Kandake, which is a title for the queen mother in the African Kingdom of Kush. The English localisation team decided to go with the latinised Candace because they thought it would be easier for English speakers. People have been asking for more character model types for ages. Boy children and actually muscular men are the most commonly asked for. I doubt we're ever going to get any new models though. Kaveh is likely based on the same Honkai Impact 3rd character as Luocha is actually, rather than being related to Aventurine. Kirara is definitely Genshin's best catgirl. I just wish she had actual cat ears too. Still waiting for a catboy though. I don't really understand why Lyney isn't one, but his design is still perfect so I'm not complaining too much. Lyney and Lynette are twins, Freminet is their adopted brother. It's actually pretty impossible to make a good team comp with the three of them. Lyney's a dps whose damage increases the more Pyro characters you have in the party, so he's best in mono-Pyro teams, and Freminet is primarily a physical dps (you can run him as a Cryo dps or a melt dps (Cryo/Pyro reaction) but that's much more difficult), and he gets a damage buff when he shatters frozen opponents, so you want Electro and Hydro characters in his party. Electro because Cryo/Electro causes superconduct, which shreds physical resistance (which is necessary because a lot of enemies have high phys res), and Hydro because Cryo/Hydro causes freezing, which you can then shatter with Frem's claymore. Fun fact: Gaming has the same EN VA as the male Trailblazer from Star Rail. Oh and Cyno has the same VA as Jing Yuan if you hadn't noticed. Oh and Dehya has the same VA as _Yanqing._ Most of the characters who have been in the game since 1.0 didn't get character demos, but a few of them cameoed in other demos, as you saw. The girl with a white dress in Kaeya's demo was Barbara, and the purple witch was Lisa. The red bunny girl in Fischl and Eula's demos was Amber. The strict woman who grounded Klee was Jean, the pirate woman in Kazuha's demo was Beidou, and Shenhe's nephew is Chongyun. Do you plan to keep reacting to Genshin stuff before playing the game? Most people react to the version trailers next, but you might want to avoid those depending on how strict you are about spoilers. There's also the character teasers. And then there's Collected Miscellany, which is like "Keeping Up with Star Rail" in that it's primarily showing you the character's kit and teambuilding tips, with a couple of moments which tease their lore.

[@LordeChalupa]

Dang, so there's only around 3 regions left? And I do plan to check out more Genshin content if people are interested. I'm not too scared of spoilers since usually the version trailers for Honkai Star Rail only show some snippets of the story but not the entire plot. So if people are interested I will check out the version trailers for Genshin. And If you hadn't pointed out that Kirara's ears weren't real, I never would've noticed its just a bow. 😅

2:25:15 Don't worry. Once you get to this part of the story, what he says here will make perfect sense.

[@tksrmo]

1:32:18 Candace actually is a name originated from Africa, which initially was Kandake, and Candace is Kandake written in Latin replacing Ks with Cs. It should have been pronounced as the same as the original Kandake at the first place since C in classical Latin pronounced identically to K, so technically it's an African name and it's a good naming sense for a desert character, but surely it's more modernized and readable to goes by Candace for the character, after all, not many people knows how to read Kandake correctly and some may thought it was a Japanese name instead. 2:13:00 "ra" in Japanese is pronounced as the same as "la", so it's kilala 2:41:13 the voice is a perfect match with Chevreuse's character, storngly recommend the cutscene of Roses and Muskets for you, that's one of the greatest limited time event cutscene and one of the best voice performance so far in genshin. 2:43:04 yes, names are confusing in hoyoverse's game, GaMing here is a Chinese name, so it's called /gɑ: mɪŋ/, they use the character to reflect one of the Chinese New Year tranditions called Lion Dance

[@CruelestChris]

Kandake isn't a name at all, it's a title, specifically it's the rank occupied by the mother of the King of Kush. It was misinterpreted as a name by Greek and Latin scholars with the most common use being in the Bible. It's only ever been used as a name in the Latinised form.

[@AirplaneBro_]

My favourite trailers are by far Alhaithams and Navias, Alhaitham's was just something different and had the sumeru squad in who are some of my favourite characters. My favourite character's Neuvillette cos, look at him, and I'm hoping to get his weapon next patch. Also if you hadn't noticed (there are others), but characters like Lyney, Cyno and Gaming, share the same voice actors as Blade, Jingyuan and Caelus. I actually can't believe how Daman Mills has that much range.

[@sarahgrellchen5687]

The nation's ingame are based on real nations so the culturistic touch of each is seen in the characters living in that certain region, Inazuma us based on Japan so samurai Sakura trees shrines and shrine maidens classical Japanese food and clothing styles are shown in characters like Ayaka kazuha and sayu. And yeah some characters don't have their own introduction video they considered base game characters

if you liked these trailers you should check out the character teasers for sure! they're animated in more of a 2d art style, which is gorgeous and they also give you more of an insight to the characters personalities :)

some elemental colors to take note of Gold = Geo (rock/earth) Green = Dendro (plant/nature) turquoise = Anemo (wind/air) Purple,Pink = Electro and the rest are pretty obvious (Red, Light Blue and Blue

[@CruelestChris]

Geo is less "rock/earth" than it is "rock/energy," Albedo in particular is more about manipulating the nature of matter than he is about rocks.. It's to do with Chinese elements being a little more esoteric than Western ones.

Every element has one particular individual that is the most powerful, an Archon and so far, the Archons we’ve met so far are Venti, Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, Nahida, and Furina. When the next two areas come out, Natlan and Schneznaya, we will meet the Pyro and Cryo Archons

Fun fact: if you look carefully at the Venti trailer you can spot that in some shots it shows the old Electro Cicin Mage model from the beta, while in others - the current one. You can tell them apart by the outfit. The current one wears leggings but has an exposed midriff. Electro Cicin Mage is the purple lady that attacks Venti. It is fun to watch old trailers, especially the ones that came out before the game's release and look for things that have changed since then.

[@LARVideos]

25:11 "She looks young to be a director" Yeah. Normally it's a position held by old people, but she went through her education to take over from her teens, and now in her early twenties, already took over the business. Much, much younger than her predecessors.

[@ZanathKariashi]

Also has a lot.....interesting...ideas for how to promote the business. Which the staff is very conflicted on as it's definitely working but......

[@AD-pi1rr]

Hopefully you start playing soon, since Eula is running next patch and Furina will probably rerun in the patch after that. Fun facts for Xianyun, Shenhe and Ganyu show up in her trailer because they are her disciples and she is akin to a mother figure for them. Her real form is a crane, which was one of the fancy ones you spotted in Yao Yao's trailer.

[@Sheevlord]

Fun fact: Zhongli is the only character who can apply the Petrified status to enemies. If I am not mistaken it's the only Geo-related status effect. Geo isn't supposed to apply debuffs at all, but this one is the exception. Mechanically it works pretty much like Frozen, except it doesn't require a reaction of two elements, which makes it even more anomalous. Another fun fact: Zhongli is the only character who got directly buffed after release. His kit was significantly reworked. His skill was made less clunky, his shield strength was significantly increased, a secondary HP scaling was added to his attack and skill DMG and so on.

[@LorisTheUntethered]

Watched the whole thing! Love seeing people experience these characters that I adore for the first time. Character trailers next? They're just as good as the demos, tending to focus a bit more on the characters story and personality more than how they play.

[@MrWizardjr9]

the horizon zero dawn crossover was a deal in order for genshin to get cross saves on playstation because sony is against cross saves for some reason

[@RasenCore]

Bit late but Candace is actually an ancient Nubian name! So yes, would make sense for an egyptian-inspired character living in the desert to have it!

[@gurl_gamez_661]

I like the way I'm watching the genshin characters intro of 2hr instead of studying

[@LordeChalupa]

My reactions were giving you brain juice, that's all

[@lisafreels3812]

The sword come from her heart/soul

[@sakurasan5615]

i hope you'd react to the honkai impact 3rd animated shorts, trailers and character PVs(maybe chronicles as well)

[@christoussaint8689]

Candace is the romanization for the name "Kandake" which translates into Queen mother

[@gargoyle2423]

As far as future Genshin content, you could do a character teaser comp and a Collected Miscellany comp. Just a suggestion.

[@dtmuffinman]

People probably already said it but, there's a lot of overlap in Genshin and HSR VAs Mona = Asta/Hook Keqing = Dubra (from Ever-Flame Mansion trailer) Beidou (she's in the Kazuha demo) = Acheron Ganyu = Constance (from Ever-Flame Mansion trailer) Rosaria = Natasha Yanfei = Sparkle Eula = Hanya Yoimiya = Xueyi Kokomi = Lynx Dori = Sushang Cyno = Jing Yuan Nilou = Arlan Dehya = Yanqing Lyney = Blade Gaming = Caelus Changsheng (Baizhu's snake) = Pela Also Ruan Mei's VA is a character that has been revealed, no idea if they'll be playable.

[@FayinKay]

2:20:57 Fun fact: It's actually not just shorts, Freminet actually wears a full body swimsuit underneath his jacket.

[@loukasdreemingtun6543]

You get to choose the name of wanderer

[@Chikayuki]

1:31:11 He fulfilled the long-awaited tradition of Candace's first impression pun on Genshin Reaction video (which is...oddly specific, but also oddly recurent ._.)

[@LordeChalupa]

Candance is a name you just have to pun, sorry to all the Candaces

[@scrappy_horns8139]

Wanderer is just what ppl call him…cause his “mom” didn’t give him a name lol

[@DR_REDACTED]

14:54 Vago Mundo can mean many things but to me the most relevant could be "Roaming the World"/"I wander the world". I believe in Portuguese or Spanish(someone correct me)😅

[@LordeChalupa]

So I was right about Mundo meaning world!

[@drpaimon2369]

It's Latin but yes the translation is correct.

[@CruelestChris]

@@LordeChalupa And "Vago" is the root word for "vagrant."

[@DR_REDACTED]

​@@drpaimon2369I thought so but so many places said it wasn't Latin i did,'t know what to believe

[@notyou9061]

Wanderer isn't his actual name, and it's only temporary, as you get to rename him in-game in a quest. If you ever react to the Version Trailers, you can find his old name, and if you look through the Character Teasers and the Story Teasers, you get his backstory. There's a lot of outside-of-game lore on Genshin's youtube channel, and I'd recommend you watch them. Whether you choose to record it or not, it's really interesting and a fun way to pass time.

[@Talia_Vantas]

Actually impressive that he got wriothesley's name almost immediately

[@LordeChalupa]

I wasn't sure if I had, but glad I did

[@pervyalchemist]

The Star Rail demos definitely give more spectacle than Genshin's! Genshin demos showcase what you get with the playable in-game character better though, so I'd say it's a fair trade-off.

[@Zach174.]

10:57 She canonically nuked the top of a mountain off, before getting her powers. 1:49:02 he also goes by Hat Guy 2:20:10 more like showing of her burst (the fake cat in a hat) absorbing other aliments. Though technically having the others does buff her (the actual skill boosts atk for each unique element on the team. In this case wind, fire, and ice. The one before gets a buff with more fire characters.) 2:21:46 his thing is the little bar you just saw, his burst buffs himself and makes the skill tied to that bar have no cooldown. 2:25:29 he’s referring to the entire nation and the “original sin” they bare. 2:27:56 most are is these trailers but you didn’t see anime batman. 2:34:03 it’s a hat 2:38:07 only thought I’ll give on her is that I find it quite fitting her base is in the sewer. 2:40:41 idle animation only 2:41:25 she also voices Futaba in Persona 5

[@Kuolistic]

Neuvillette is actually right, he has some melusines to dig up someone's past to punish them thus making their future. Like what seeing their actions, then giving them their punishments.

[@LordeChalupa]

Don't know what melusines are but I get what youre saying

[@Dappers6110]

I'd love it if they went back and gave some of the OG character updated trailers, especially for people who feel relavent to the stroy even still thing like with Kaeya and his background now that we know, and Mona and who her teacher is, even some of the Liyue ones could do with updating Like Zhongli's one would be even better with updated editing/fights keep the song though

[@mohammadgamer6875]

45:50 Glory to her excellency the almighty narukami ogosho god of thunder

[@LordeChalupa]

No idea what you're saying but Glory to her!

[@noox13]

You gonna react to all the Character Teasers and all the Version Trailers next!? Both of those should have playlists on the official Genshin channel! Teasers give more insight on the characters as opposed to the demos that are much more to show off animations and gameplay.

[@pxnny-ds4zg]

Furina is definitely a fan favorite, both in the in-game world and in the real one. She's probably the best character in Genshin, tbh. I haven't seen any other trend as much as she has. Her story is a masterpiece and the best in the game so far

[@hanayokoizomi9369]

1:41:10 actually Nahida is very powerful unit in this Game, she can make of your any team as a Meta

[@mohammadgamer6875]

you should express excitement more than that

[@LordeChalupa]

I'll try, but I was giving my genuine reaction. I'm not one to freak out in excitement usually.

[@princeg07gaming]

Good Reaction ~ Keep it up~

[@ckaorip]

Thanks for voideo)

[@DarkUltima999]

as soon u start ur genshin journey i will follow you

[@LordeChalupa]

I will start the journey...no set time for when I will, but I know I will!

[@Dazaiburger]

Btw cyno(the pharaoh one) and jing yuan has the same English va

[@gargoyle2423]

Interesting that your top 3 characters(up until Nilou's demo), are all hydro characters.

[@TM-jj5kq]

As we know, kirara is nekomata But did you know that nekomata are often classified as bad or even dangerous yokai?

[@alilith3476]

I came back cuz of Furina too, shes so girlboss girlfailure i love her

[@ahmedmubarak751]

Hope you react to version trailers soon . Good vedio tho .

[@fionadeonmeister1396]

Very Culture Men Approve plus a Sub Can wait for next reaction and first playthru of the game.. Keep up the great video

[@oanayu]

Neuvillette's line "I will use the past to judge the future" is directly tied into the lore, it has nothing to do with the way he actually judges a regular trial. There's a lot going on in Fontaine. Also, he doesn't actually need the cane, he's just cool like that

[@LordeChalupa]

It just being a part of his drip makes it even cooler

[@ZanathKariashi]

Not true, every refined gentleman needs a cane. How else will you beat your opponent to death during a gentlemanly debate?

[@jeans.406]

Getting to Furina's story will be a heck of a long ride because the entire world is a pre-requisite for it. But god it's so worth it, her story (and Fontaine's story) is top-tier. I cried a bunch of times when I played through it. It is pain, grief, determination, and relief all in one.

[@shinhonwy]

the last AQ cutscene made me cry for so long.. i'm also definitely crying every time i rewatch it lmao (as well as the entirety of neuvillette's quest, that shit was serious to me)

[@yourbakasenpai.]

Him:I want nahida as a child Nahida:But i am of your great great great great great grandmother age😂😂

[@reasanka8667]

it was the Baron Bunny Dance at the end of Collei's demo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZO3dGywa7N_hs0

[@Nigtho]

Version trailer next❤❤

[@cyberdragoon1432]

1:03:19 Nope, just vocal warmups. That aside, most who are unaware of Chinese opera do mistake her outfit as lolita, when in fact it’s all based on traditional Chinese opera costumes.

[@firmansyah022]

Please watch all the character teaser and then Version trailer..
