Story Teaser: Heart of Clear Springs | Genshin Impact

Gazing upon flowing water, people are wont to lament the swift passage of time.
Yet in a village where spring waters come to a still, thoughts remain as clear as the reflection on a tranquil lake.

The fact that Hoyoverse gave us a conclusion to a lore that was set up since the game's release is surprising. Mainly because I didn't think they would continue AND conclude the Spring Fairy story since 1.0 and 1.4. I ain't lying but the fact that Callirhoe and Finch finally reuniting after so many years made me teared up... Especially as a 1.0 player who knew about the story since then.

The video is really proof that we have a Creator.❤️ If Genshin animations are made by artistic people, how much more real life?

@@Our-Creator-Loves-Us Does this mean that I can tell people that Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of the Christian Church, is the one who created Genshin Impact, the Chinese gacha game? XD But nah, I hate when people say stuff like that. I've heard people say it when doctors and scientists help cure someone of some terrible disease. It discredits all of the effort and heart that they themselves put into their work, and gives the credit to someone that only exists in certain religions.

[@coolfritz7434]

@@steropeshu I understand that you might find it hard to believe in God, especially when there are so many different religions and worldviews out there. But I want to challenge you to carefully think about the uniqueness of Christianity, not just dismiss it as an ordinary religion like others: Genshin Impact is an amazing game, but it is not a product of random chance. It is the result of intelligent design, creativity, and skill by HoYo developers. Similarly, the universe and everything in it, including you and me, are not accidents. They are the work of a loving Creator who has a purpose and a plan for us. He revealed himself to us through Jesus Christ who, thousands of years ago, died and rose again to save us from our sins (rebellions) against Him - who is God.

[@coolfritz7434]

@@steropeshu You could have eternal life @steropeshu ! You just have to accept Christ (God) into your life by sincerely telling Him you rebelled against Him, and ask for His forgiveness. This is literally the core of Christianity; the name literally means "followers of Christ." Christ (God) is at the center of every Christians' life. Yes, there are false religions that claim to be Christians. This is why true Christians have the Bible (God's inerrant Word)... through it we could know what our purpose in life is - what Christ (God) wants for us.

Thank you sharing this!! It's so sweet and I absolutely would have missed it otherwise!

[@hzrinv]

People who complain that this event focused on an NPC again, this is THE Spring Fairy mentioned in Genshin lore since 1.0. I personally have been curious since Diona is one of my faves way back in 1.1. People don't see why the reveal of the Spring Fairy as a proper Oceanid is amazing after 3 years because It goes full circle to and from Mondstadt (Spring Vale where Callirhoe stayed), Liyue (We met out first oceanid), Sumeru (We found out about the fate of Egeria the OG Hydro Archon turning to the Amrita Pool), then Fontaine (Since Egeria died, the Oceanids under her do not agree with Focalors so they traveled around the world)

[@wuxian1]

THIS IS SO COOL! thank you so much for sharing! interesting

[@MistyShnekin]

saw people complaining about this event being boring but as a player from 1.0 and someone who knew about the springtime fairy mystery and old man finch it was honestly extremely satisfying to get this resolution and it being tied into diona's lore was the icing on the cake. Plus the hinted chongyun lore for maybe any later event? i hope hoyo doesn't forget and expand's upon it!

[@DG_Toti]

Considering this event wouldn’t have happened had Hu Tao and Venti not met in 3.4’s Lantern Rite then I think it’s safe to say this is a side story they might plan to continue.

[@melonsapphire]

As a 1.1 player, yea it’s possible we’re gonna get a Chongyun event! -Razor’s parents are revealed during 3.1 Weinlesefest. The teaser was when Razor was curious about his mother’s origin during Klee’s 1.6 GAA event, after Alice’s voice was revealed. I still remember his dialogue: “Warm. Is this what having a Mama feels like?” -Albedo’s dangerous innate power is teased back in 1.3. His actual origins is finally revealed in the 2.3 event, and his fetus form we saw in 3.5 Hexenzirkel event cutscene. -Bennett oddly mentioned about “Mare Jivari” in his poem during 1.4 Windblume event. He’s possibly gonna get an event when Natlan is released later! Ofc there’s more bunch of lore stuff hidden for the NPCs in the overworld items. And everytime, Hoyo has this habit of teasing the lore before finally making a special event for them if necessary.

@@JORDANKENNEDYSARUMAHA So true. Being a somewhat newer player myself (started at around 3.2 / 3.3 and my first big event was lantern rite in 3.4), I missed out on many events as well. I'd love to catch up on those by playing them, but sadly it's not posibble. It shouldn't be impossible to add some kind of "event archive" that allows players to play events they missed before. This would definetely be great for a lot of newer players (and for those who are going to start playing Genshin Impact in the future).

[@goodietwoshoes7238]

so happy finch finally got the resolution to his story!!! plus chongyun having a foreshadowing moment. can't wait what it means!

[@lysy3507]

Right? I loved that they concluded his story, added more to Diona's character, and teased Chongyun's. I was also curious who gave him the trait of pure yang energy... and if that means Bennett got his bad luck from a different entity too lol. Whoever that was, they have a lot of explaining to do.

[@Shay2]

I was so shocked when Grandpa Finch and the lake came up. I remember talking to him years ago and being interested in the lake.

I almost cried playing through this event 🥲 Thank you Hoyoverse for making such an incredible game! ❤️ And happy 3 years anniversary to Genshin Impact!! 🥳🎂🎉

Damn this is one of the best voice acting in the whole game imo, the pure beauty in her voice is incredible

[@Rue_Elpis777]

No matter how many times i hear it, its one of the best soothing voice ive ever come across.. plus its beautiful how subtly Venti helped the lost oceanid who probably got into his lands when Egeria died ans lost her way to home.. he let her reside into his domains just like how Morax allowed Rhodea to live in Qince Village.. I feel like they all knew Egeria quite close for once she was really a kind soul who wanted nothing more than to keg her people live as they wished.. 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@theanonymous5065]

[@Boomdizzle99]

Definitely one of the BEST limited event cutscenes ever that delivered an IMPACTFUL emotional ending that makes me love genshin so much!!! Im glad Diona and finch got their closure and so did we with the heart of the clear spring tale....beautifully told!! ❤

I CRIED SO HARD ON THIS ONE😭😭😭 I literally spent a good amount of 30mins without my tears stopping my eyes were swollen, I FELT LIKE I WAS GRANDPA FINCH WHO STILL KEPT WAITING FOR THAT SOMEONE and CALLIRHOE WHO WANTS TO COME BACK FOR THAT SOMEONE😭 Also, Grandpa Finch's line "I just worry that once i go to sleep, I won't ever want to wake up again." hits me it hurts😭 I'm so happy they met again😭💚

[@shark9388]

The moment the animation came out during the quest, I started screen recording 😭😭this is honestly the single most aesthetic cutscene genshin has made..I love what Callirhoe is saying in the background as well

2:12 _and what if i cry_ ㅠㅠ at the end of a day of adventures and seeing more teyvat's grand narrative, mondstadt remains my comfy place from both its familiar ost and lore. i love that we get to revisit these old tie-ins and see their reveals at long last. ik their memories will be wiped as is npc life but it meant a lot to see callirhoe and finch get a happy ending of sorts together 🥹🫶

[@sailorjoon3866]

I've been watching this on repeat and cannot get enough, this honestly made me teary. One of my fav cutscenes in the game

[@MrShrek-lz3li]

It's amazing that venti's verses and melodies always find a way to somewhat heal characters' emotional turmoil during their journeys in life if they ever stumble in mondstadt. It really shows that there's something more to him than meets the eye.

[@a.j.cookie9735]

Springvale’s music has always been something special… peaceful and full of tranquility. This cutscene added even more depth to an already beautiful melody❤

[@sandyriver4705]

I played this quest during my lunchbreal, old finch’s va made me shed tears omg. His va is so good he conveys the feeling so much😭😭

Totally love this, so happy to meet the spring fairy that diona talk about, loved the lore and the emotional story

Gosh dang it, the EN localization team hit it out of the park again with the amazing translation that was able to retain the essence of Chinese poetry and transform it to a different language without losing the meaning. The talent is palpable.

[@asrocgp]

It is really surreal to witness a sweet conclusion to an in-game book named “Heart of Clear Springs” that I read nearly 3 years ago! And to think that Old Finch waited more than 10 times of what we have waited…

[@yana_2003ars]

Хоть я начала играть позже и не знала про то, что в ранних версиях что-то было и рассказывалось про Фитча и родниковую фею, но я рада, что спустя 3 года разработчики не забыли и сделали продолжение🤔😍🥰 Такая трогательная и душевная катсцена в 2D рисовке❤️🥲 И ещё плюс здорово, что перевели стихотворение, где всё рифмуется и не теряется смысл☺️

[@Big_Dick_27]

How old are you?

[@leafst0rm]

Nice closure to a piece of lore that has existed since version 1.x Not only to old man finch but also to Diona herself ( she was blessed by Callirhoe to be able to make any drink taste good no mattee what ingredient is used) And now they seem to be hinting something about Chongyun's overabundant of yang energy

[@erwincas8986]

Love this story, because it showed us how truly and deep is the relationship that we share with someone that we truly love.

I didn't expect this event to get so emotional, honestly one of the most beautiful moments in genshin

[@hellschatt]

Remembered this just as I was watching other genshin cutscenes and came here, and I teared up and cried again just right now as I did first time seeing this ingame. Didn't expect the event to end as beautiful as this. Such a simple story, but complete and flawless. EDIT: I've watched this three times in a row, and everytime towards the end I need to cry anew. The only other piece of media that ever managed to do that for me was Schindler's List lol

[@melonsapphire]

Nice story as always. I hope someday Hoyo animates an event cutscene specially for King Deshret & Nabu Malikata sidestory, or her potential Seelie origin. One of my favourite lore from Sumeru. Funfact; -Endora event: 1.4 (at this event, Callirhoe passed on her message to Endora to tell Finch to move on because “life goes on”.) -Callirhoe event: 4.1 Idt the patch number is a coincidence. Well played, Hoyo!

[@fatuipublicagent1163]

I like it when Genshin adding small lore in events, and I hope they will do it again in some future events

[@roadrunner9332]

I kinda agree but also disagree. Thhe problem with lore in limited time events is that newer players don't have a way of playing through older event stories. So their only way to learn about thoose lore bits is by watching videos of someone playing those events. Which is kinda lame, especially in situations with "important" lore. This could be solved easily by giving newer players an opportunity to play older events (maybe some kind of event archive or something like that) For example: I started playing at around 3.2 / 3.3. The first events I participated in were that one balloon event in 3.3? and the lantern rite event in 3.4 So I missed out on basically any event of the first two years and some at the start of the third year. I'd love to catch up on those by playing them but sadly I can't.

[@beninglintang4895]

If some of you has maybe heard previously, the Springvale theme is a little reference to YPC previous song, that also talked about a wanderer. I think it's fitting since we know Callirhoe was wandering until she found rest at Springvale's spring
