Opera Singer Reacts: La Vaguelette || Genshin Impact

[@xxspooky_sandwichxx]

Furina's character arc is great. You start off annoyed by her dramatic personality, and as the story continues, you start to realize that she's keeping quiet on something massive. Before the big reveal, everyone is so frustrated with her because she keeps keeping quiet, so the big reveal that she's been quietly suffering for centuries for the people's safety just makes everyone feel so bad for her.

[@Falllll]

And this burden that she carries, the whole thing is that she can't share it. Pretty incredible writing.

[@guyschill2059]

Even if others didn't like paimon in SQ, Furina as a character is still pretty incredible, Fontaine gave me 2 of my favorite characters, in Furina and Neuvillette, and the funny thing is when I saw the trailer, I thought I was not gonna like then and here we are

[@Mugiduck]

Yaknow honestly I didnt hate her at all. She was already my fav archon before 4.2 crazily enough.

[@zir456]

​@@Mugiduck These people get annoyed by Furina's personality so easily💀

[@dotthedot9080]

What makes her arc so shattering is the start of the end, where her secret gets out. The way she just shuts down, thinking she failed, thinking the 500 years of progress she had made were for nothing, the emptiness in her eyes, to her walking out of the opera house and regaining her light...

[@AldenEmroch]

​@@dominustempus8969 both of them were a bit bad in this quest, traveler was a bit more chill but they still didn't listen to furina's boundaries and some of their answers tried to justify paimon whose dialogue did annoy me a lot of times, it was so weird they wrote them like that actually the english translation is way worse with the things paimon said, when i read it in spanish it was a bit upseting but not like that, there's a line after furina tells the traveler about how she feels and paimon says ''paimon is surprised you're making yourself go through all of this'' but in spanish is ''paimon didn't imagine you were being so hard on yourself'' another one paimon says ''that sounded so smug! ugh the second hand embarrasment is unbearable'' but spanish says ''and you're proud of that? that's embarrasing'' the conversation at the start sounds more light hearted on spanish too, like yes it still sounds as if they're trying to make her feel guilty which is very frustrating(they're not trying to at all but it sounds like it in the way they keep saying the people at the troupe are gonna feel sad) but the game tries to throw some jokes from furina here and there to make it less serious while in english it plays without them so it feels very rude when she's clearly saying she has boundaries like is still not good but for some reason the english version makes paimon sound like she really dislikes furina at times which is very weird i still didn't like it tho, they didn't treat her very well compared to raiden's mission when furina is clearly a bit traumatized about acting and they keep pushing her, yes is later clear she still wants to act on musicals but the quest doesn't show this progression properly they just push her into this situation even when she said no, if she was showing to be doubful since the start its more understandable but she wasn't so it feels disrespectful

​@@pixelchrome2I think it might influence the pronunciation, although I don't speak French, but diacritics in many languages are usually used for that. And in Italian, e, è, and é would have different pronunciations, even if the difference is very subtle (and as my native language is Russian, where those wouldn't even be separate phonemes but allophones, variants of the same phoneme, the subtlety is even stronger than for someone whose native language actually has that distinction).

I did a blind listen to this when it was released, then watched the video with Cécilia Cara, and then the story teaser. I was blown away each time. And then full body chills for almost the entire piece. Dimeng Yuan created an incredible work of art that captures every bit of emotion needed to understand Furina without knowing anything about her. I also love how they released an instrumental version without the melody as if they are really encouraging musicians to run with it. I definitely will be.

the characters trying to metaphorically tell someone else's story in the story quest, also end up telling furina's story. that's as spoiler-free as i can be lol hope you enjoy her story quest the ending was indeed beautiful and just added to my archon quest-induced sadness. i guess everything she interacts with in this story teaser symbolizes something about her traumatic past and how she can move forward towards the future after all that

[@guyschill2059]

This quest symbolizes everyone, Clio as furina, not being able to tell her secrets, as well as it's unseen sacrifice, focalrs who died for the people who also went unrecognized, the people of Fontaine who put the blame on Furina aka Clio, and the people also didn't know of the sacrifices that had to happen for their lives, and pretty much, the leading guy is also Neuvillette, hoyoverse even hired a singer to interpret La Vaguelette in Neuvillette's perspective, so it's pretty much official that the leading guy is indeed Neuvillette

[@yuki97kira]

Quests really does tell the stories, or foreshadows. Theres the poetry event where its about an oceanid falling in love with a human, and then there is this, who also have that as the theme.

[@Gheniel_]

What I didn't like is that Traveller, Paimon and the entire main cast were bad to her, but no one apologized, not even Traveler and Neuvillette who know about her story.... The way Paimon treated her in her story quest pissed me off bro, I like Paimon but sometimes it seems like the writers make her annoying and an asshole on purpose, Traveler isn't too far behind either, there was that scene where he takes her hand and takes her without her consent, and she has already refused saying that she wants to act or get involved. Deep down we know she wanted to know more about the It's a piece from "the little oceanid", but wasn't there a better way for the traveler to bring her instead of just forcing her physically???

She was guilty of not being the archon, when the death sentence is given by the Oratrice everyone in shocked because that isn't what they wanted for her, and as we can see in her SQ people from the Court love her, and those in Poisson lost dear people so they need more time to heal So... F*** u Celestia!

[@Hamlettte]

This scene from Furina's story quest made me want Genshin to introduce us to a playable character who actually is in a relationship. Not implied to be interested towards someone. Not a character implied to have feelings for the Traveler. And especially, not one shipped by the community. Someone's who's actually in a loving relationship and possibly even have children of their own. I've seen them create very "human" characters and stories, I want them to challenge their writing by creating a very "human" playable character.

[@soyabean09]

yeah, Furina's arc deffinetely change my perspective about Genshin Impact, the fact that they can pull this off, great writing. And like u said, I want a character that really have someone in relationship like a lover, really can't wait how far this game in the future.

I'm mainly a classical musician now but I have exposed myself to various type of world music (so much amazing stuff out there but so little time I have! 😭), so this just makes me appreciate Hoyomix team and the composers even more.

[@astromechas]

@@progusterloux3648 Furina’s story that you unlock through friendship says that her Vision was more of a reward for her past deeds rather than recognition of ambition. This is likely due to her receiving her Vision from a Dragon Sovereign instead of Celestia.

[@thecommentguy9380]

​@@astromechasthat isn't just likely, that's what happened. Celestia no longer has authority over hydro, it's all neuvillette now and he can give hydro visions to whoever he wants

[@sneakretster]

@@astromechas while that's obviously part of the reason Neuvillette gave her a vision, if that was the only reason then he could've done so at any given opportunity after he regained his dragonhood. It's a bit of column A and B; her sacrifice made her more worthy to receive it, and Neuvillette waited for her to finally rekindle her passion for performance and find a new lease on life after stepping down from being Archon to give it to her since it's an object that embodies ambition and ideals and it's likely a necessary step in the process of actually obtaining one imo.

Furina is so precious~ I didn't even notice Focalor guiding the singing in the background, you really have.. hmm, how do I word this... Eagle's Ears~? hahaha~

[@vanguard1689]

This one made me cry so hard, it's just such a beautiful song and the words about "If you become human, you can reveal your secret to no one" really resonated with her character. Like, I'm not even kidding, there were tears streaming down my face when I saw this :')

[@hurricanecatey]

when she started singing I no joke got chills

[@naufalyudhanatama895]

This is like a classical masterpiece, and I really like this scene, especially the song used in the scene

[@wienzard93]

I love love LOOOVE this song! When I heard it for the first time in-game I had chills. I STILL have chills when I return to KZbin to watch it again. It's an amazing number. I'm happy you react to it and gave your opinion. I won't spoil the story but I think you'd love Furina even more after playing her character story quest.

[@dukify5398]

That someone in my feeling was Neuvillette.

[@valenrn8657]

Her love for a man can be applied to Focalor's love for Fontaine's human population.

[@sleipnirthe8th339]

(spoilers to that quest) it’s not really based on her story, but it’s a Stage Play with a roll that furina really resonates with. Which is why I felt so emotional to that song sequence

[@Aural4444]

YESSSS When I saw this I was excited, because I knew you were going to love it

[@figloalds]

"I love this character so much, I can't believe how three-dimensional this character is" I deeply vibe with that

[@W0Wii3]

YESSSS, been waiting on this analysis of the song aaaaaa

[@Emeowy]

I really love watching marco react to genshin stories, especially the fontaine ones, plus i adore furina

[@Winterstrife89]

Been waiting for your take on this one!

[@tgmgrizzlyjazz1046]

Furina really popped off honestly. Cant wait for you to do her S.Q!

[@saeukanoch.8166]

bro, i love your reactions but dangit open ur subtitles because the translations of the lyrics is sooooo heart clenching, its honestly too good for me. and its absolutely perfect.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Bro - too many assumptions. When you rip them from KZbin the subtitles go away. Not that i need to explain myself but try approaching it in a more relaxed way next time! I’m chill and you can be too!

[@saeukanoch.8166]

@@MarcoMeatball ah, sorry sorry, i hope my comment is not aproached as harsh as it may seem. im honestly a nice person really xD,i just noticed that the subtitles weren't on. that's all 😅 sorry, very sorry

[@sky-animatz3035]

the hat is what really made me cry because its basically the exact scene in the archon quest

[@rado_paradoks]

Thank you for your analysis, Marco!

[@mallows4992]

yayy been waiting for your reaction!

[@Kiryu_Azure]

This isnt Furinas backstore because this is her helping a play cause the lead actress fell ill

[@rianadhy92]

This voice tickles my stone heart

[@felixrowan646]

Always exciting to see a MarcoPOG thumbnail. Know you're in for a good time.

мне больше всего понравилось когда появился глаз бога, я на этом моменте прям афигел

[@mzshmkn]

yayyyy ive been waiting for your reaction on thisss

[@yt_commenter]

yAaaaAas thank you let's go! i was waiting for this reaction with bated breath

[@Krukmeister]

So without spoiling too much; this isn't Furina's story, but the lines 'if you become human, you can reveal your secret to no one. You will face suffering, and loneliness' are extremely relevant to her own story.

[@arandombomb5639]

damn i have been waiting for u to make the vid about this piece, it fits furina in so many ways

[@ShapeshifterOS]

This is the opera quest, keep playing you're in for a treat!

[@donalddavidking]

I wasnt really into the fontaine archon quest, i was kind of just going through the motions but the end and furinas story quest shocked me. Ever since inezuma, the music has been absolutely exceptional

[@sparkle3026]

I loved her ever since the beginning. It's just that I came in Fontaine, first saw her and just, there's something in her that I really liked in her and just went up with it, I kept telling myself that there's a lot more in her than people see, I was kinda upset when people were judging her actions, and character when the Fontaine arc wasn't even finished and when 4.2 released with the ending of the chapter, I was absolutely heartbroken with her story, 500 years of neverending mascarade, pretending being a divine, a god, having a burden of her people's expectations and hopes without a single break, bottling up her feelings and having no place to let go of them except her bedroom and even there she had to silently cry feraing to attract Celestia's attention, she had to go though all that alone only with hope for her mirror self's unknown plan and not even knowing when it all will end, the amount of her suffering and lostness when it all finally ended, she's free but doesn't know what to do now? How will she live without it and can she return her original personality when she can't even remember who she was before all of that? After her story quest and new event with the film I felt really relieved that she now has a place and role in this world that she enjoys and if something happens, Neuvillete will help her shall anything happen 🙂
