Tsurumi island would have been the best quest we gotten if it had voice lines

[@astaroth5481]

I think they didn't have voice cover for this quest is because MHY wants player to immerse in the quest a bit more, considering this quest is such a sad quest...

I think the issue is cost and storage issues. MHY has to keep in mind that adding voices will take up storage and for mobile players, this can be very troublesome. It would be nice if they could voice everything, but I think storage is what's holding them back, not cost.

[@rfnasua5350]

Tsurumi story line is more drawn out than the Inazuma Archon Quest, which is good. I'd like to think Mihoyo listened to the criticisms.

[@EarnestKane]

But I believe what we had saw was been settled long ago, as the dev should be prepared several patches before. I think it is simplify because different groups handle the story telling thing parallel, like the moon Chase event and tsurumi are both showed quite well If the other group are filling the story in 2.2,2.3,2.4, the archon quest have to be done in 2.1. which may make 2.1such a rush. The reason why I think so simplify because 2.0 is so perfect to me, hype deep with hook of mystery, they can handle it pretty well, if they could have space to develop the story in 2.1 which shouldn't be such a pity

[@mikoncasko5661]

Yeah it's already preplanned they just don't release new map it'll take several months

[@hanzolee1174]

2.0 Inazuma Archon Quest started out pretty good and thrilling. Utilizing so many characters properly, and built a good plot on what's to come on the story on 2.1. A civil war on the nation, a merciless god, siding with the rebellion and friends from a faction of the Shogunate are opposing the decree for the people of Inazuma. Not to mention great cutscenes. Then 2.1 then comes and goes to shit, wasting all the potential it had, but still retaining the good quality cutscenes. Kazari's Sakurai Purification quest and Seirai Island's mystery was more interesting than what 2.1 storyline offered.

It's actually just kazari

[@renoirrr]

this is probably my favourite quest in genshin so far. as much as i love story quests and archon quests, this one was just creepy, freaky, downright trippy to be thinking about esp after reading Thundering Fury set descriptions. i've never been so committed to a storyline so much since liyue archon quest bc i was trying to grind so that i can lvl up to continue. integrating exploration into it was a nice touch too but i actually am avoiding that rn since i just hope for the fog to be gone to explore in peace (as much as i love my teapot and furnishings i aint gonna explore the same place everyday getting the chests that dont give primos with the reward.) seriously the writers for this quest outdid themselves. i doubt there's gonna be a quest better than this one for a long time cause it perfectly mixed dialogue and combat to the point where it didnt feel like it was too much of either. anyways if theres a quest i wouldnt want to end it'll be this one. i wish i recorded it though. too late to start now unfortunately. i think it'll either finish on the 5th day or the 7th like some of the other time gated quests. edit: keep trying to add this in naturally but anyway that last part with Ruu in day 4? yeah i felt my heart wrench.

[@zenzenitha]

It's indeed felt very spiritual, kinda the same vibe with Stonehenge or that nazca lines. Very old and felt profound but you couldn't really grasp what

[@swag2be578]

It could be that Ruu and the others are trapped spirits and considering with Hu Tao will be featured on next banner she may be in a quest to come to inazuma to do some work in that island to pass them over.

[@titusceous]

I think that the history of Tsurumi Island is basically like this: 1. Thousands of years ago back during the Archon war, there was still civilization there up until sometime after the Archon war ended, the proof being the existence of the statue of the 1st Electro Archon herself. 2. Fast forward to about 500 years ago or more, the Cataclysm occured and ruined the civilization in Tsurumi Island, the survivor of such disaster became the tribe that worshipped the Thunderbird. It was at this time as well that the Thunderbird arrived at Tsurumi Island and somehow made the island became shrouded with thick fogs. 3. Sometime later, the tribesmen killed Ruu, Thunderbird got mad then killed everyone there, and proceed to go on a rampage in Seirai Island, and finally ended up gotten killed by Raiden herself in there. 4. Ever since then, Ruu has continuously trapped in a loop caused by the Thunderbird's rage, and was finally freed by the Traveler in present times. That's what I think, can't guarantee if it's true and/or correct, haha.

[@DNSchank]

Yeah I think the bird took refuge after the war on that island but as is said, it didn't care about the people who were already there. Till Ruu's song. After that the bird created the fog so the people could be safe from the aftermath of the war. But then they killed the boy and the bird must've said "what the hell, I'm protecting this barbaric people capable of killing a Child" and ended all and move out with the anger and pain inside not only from the war but the death of that one creature that showed the bird something good about the world. Maybe its last hope of living in peace.

[@cassandrawasright1481]

Ruu said he lived 4000 years ago, and the Thunderbird was almost certainly already dead by the time of the catastrophe in Khaenri'ah, as the Thunder Manifestation was unleashed and destroyed Serai Island shortly after. The thick fogs were apparently caused by a strange object that fell from the heavens, which could either be something from Celestia, as seen in Dragonspine, or a piece of a constellation, like in the Unreconciled Stars event. This is also what started the "ceremonies" where they'd collect the feathers and then sacrifice someone, so I have to wonder: did Celestia want them to die? Or was their fate simply written in the stars?

[@banana_rat96]

This quest is probably right up there with Kazari's quest, maybe even better.

[@tommyreiss5457]

It's just so mind blowing how we had this lore in the game since the start and now we get to live it and get more insight on it

[@ambrrt5895]

it's also sad to me that ruu actually wanted to be a sacrifice thinking that it would actually please their deity

[@teushinsavage136]

Tsurumi Island is indeed has that eerie feels. The fog, the unusual villagers, and especially the paintings, the large tree. Inazuma is indeed full of depressing stories 😬😩

[@witchcandy3671]

The story about Poppers(sp?) really reminded me of the movie *How to train your Dragon* That said, nice digging! I get the impression here that Tsurumi Island is on the edge of the Dark Sea as well. The Fog here reminded me a lot of The Golden Apple Archipelago. A realm on the edge of the Dark Sea. The massive Dead Tree I can only assume was at one time a giant Irminsul Tree long sundered and that would fit with the ancient civilization and the Ruins beneath the island. It seems any place outside of the 7 kingdoms of the Archons experiences fluctuations in the leylines that causes time to be experienced differently. Now to decipher the writing on the murals. Gotta love the similarities to Sal Vindagnyr here. Also, isn't it strange that the ruins existed before the inhabitants and Ruu specifically mentions that the Hilichurls showed up later. It's also odd to find the Hilichurls sleeping on the ground at times unable to interact with them. Almost like we aren't really there ourselves. Such a Great ghost story! One final mention, I'm surprised you left out meeting Roald, that was the biggest lore connection in this questline I thought.

[@cecily796]

You can see hilichurls lying around at a tiny part of one of the first 3 islands of Inazuma(sorry I can't remember well I found them around the first days of 2.0), there's a Kairagi and a common chest there I think? The ones here(in Tsurumi) reminded me to those, and the ones in Tsurumi were EXACTLY where those abyss-wolves were, they quite look like they would be dead ngl especially with them being around other monsters who will very actively jump at the player's throat as well.. elemental sight doesn't shows these hilichurls' monster-names either they are just... being there with their shields and weapons lying around Also I was quite suprised by Roald as well

[@necrodon88]

Let’s take a moment to appreciate that if all of the points you summarised were true, then Mihoyo did so much digging to come up with this lore for us

[@EnRav1]

What do you guys think about the Thunderbird being connected in some way to the "four winds"? First there is the artefact set with the backstory. So far we got the sets for(possibly) Anemo/Dvalin, Cryo/Boreas, and well the bird with an obvious connection. So there might be a chance for a Hydro lion some time in the story. Second, at a part in the quest on Tsurumi island the bird says to Ruu "[...]and the melodies sung by the green flying dragon of the far north.", which suggests that the bird might know Dvalin. But if this theory was true the bird might be a falcon so idk. Just thought this was a nice theory.

[@amorimjt]

[@rinkurosaki4019]

Spoiler warning! Ruu, from what I guess after finishing the quest, is probably part of the regret from the thunderbird curse that it cast upon the island after the boy is sacrificed and their promise unkept. (Just like kazari, who is actually the remnants from what kitsune saiguu left behind together with the miasma.) The whole quest is basically the lore from thundering fury, but why it keeps repeating for millennia is probably because of the curse from thunderbird, I mean if you managed to read the dialogue during the last part where you have to fight thunder manifestation (thunderbird power and memory remain), Kapatcir dialogue is filled with anger towards the tribe and ceremony after he found Ruu is sacrificed and the goblet is filled with its friend blood. I only managed to read the last part where kapatcir put a curse on the tribe and entire island (which is the leyline disorder we're experiencing currently). In this quest, We're basically tasked to stop the ceremony and amend the unkept promise of Ruu and Kapatcir, to be able to end the curse. As that is the only regret from kapatcir, which is also the cause of kapatcir's anger and the end of the ancient tribe.

[@-Blue-_]

Thunderbird is she

[@TimeKitt]

One of the noises you get when summoning Oz is a red-tailed hawk cry, usually used in TV and Cinema to represent eagle noises (because people think the little squeeks eagles make are to cute and not majestic enough I guess), and the Native American Thunderbird is generally depicted as an Eagle if not explicitly so. Honestly Oz looks almost nothing like a Raven besides size and colour, looking more like a cross between an eagle and owl, and of course he matches up with the thunderbird statues. I never thought Oz was a manifestation of Fishl's vision, more that he was just playing the role much like Fishl herself is.

I could really understand this quest just after I finished it, it got pretty annoying but when I reached the part of Ruu singing I realized how deep and dark it really is, I wish it had actual voice lines, the story is too good and too important to just leave it as another tricky world quest, and above all THE SCORE OF THAT ISLAND, best music out of all the themes in genshin.

The thunder bird abandoned his prince and went to his princess fischl

[@SuperRozenkrantz]

All about this fog just reminds me of persona 4 golden, and that maushiro is similiar to marie's comb too

[@remuji1357]

Seirai Island OST is really sad and the place itself gives me gloomy vibes and i wonder why, can you please make a lore video about Seirai Island :?

[@Beatriz-gy4fk]

There is a place with dead hillichurls In the mist, and its so creepy and sad at the same time

[@orpezo]

I just discovered this channel. Since I am too lazy to learn the Teyvat lore myself, I'll just watch this channel.

[@arminarlert1953]

Why did Raiden Ei killed the bird tho? I mean was it because it rampaged after the death of Ruu?

[@theseusswore]

holy hell the lore dump in 2.2, tsurumi island is THE most bizzare locations in Genshin as of now tbh its interesting, captivating, entertaining all the while keeping it eerie. i wonder what the ruins mean, why are there Sal Vindagnyr ruins AND Khaenri'ah ruin murals in Shirikoro Peak? was there a Khaenri'ah-n civilization living in Tsurumi Island before the catastrophe? its so interesting oh and theres latin text (printed on walls as the abyssal characters) on the walls i really think this island is connected to the Abyss' origins and may as well explain how and why everything, like the cataclysm happened when the travelers came into this world

[@jimmyphantom5572]

Where im the only one think The Thunder Bird was OZ at first ? Or just Me.

[@Samchanne21]

Oh yeah, it reminds me. Why is Ruu still alive even though he was used as an offering to Kapatcir thousands of years ago? Plus he wasn’t affected by the timeloop?

[@pokulock]

He's alr dead, sadly who was with us this entire time is just a piece of him tapped into kapatchir's feather, he cant go out of the timeloop till he fullfil his promise to sing. He asked us to always bring the feather on our journey bcs that would mean he & kapatchir tag along too

[@MyJackel13]

Woah impressive! Please do more!

[@flicker031]

What's more mysterious is how to this day, I still haven't gotten a single electro dmg thundering fury goblet -_-

[@JOHAN-ml8vn]

bruh deadass thought you were an actual VA narating the playscene and was abt to skip it ( cuz i thought it was a cutscene I've already watched in genshin )T __ T your story telling is amazing!

[@lilllyeevee6536]

Fun fact! That the bird that Ei killed… I do wonder if we get her third story quest to visit that island…

[@ringoyaki3049]

Inazuma world quest just hit different

[@ningguangsredtassel3099]

this quest is intsresting but so stressfulling too

[@bigchungus2667]

Why do i find this quest extra sadder than the saddest quest 😢

[@BLITZ1293]

Same. If I can adopt Ruu put him in my teapot and we will travel the world.

[@Asm0sday]

I think celestina was once on sturumi island base on one of the painting on the wall underground

[@cecily796]

Celestia is shown there as something far, unknown divine thing. They wouldn't depict Celestia in the sky as something far and unfamiliar/strange if ti would belong to them from the beginning, also it's the exact same silhouette what you can see in Dragonspine except the two "shapes" are mirrored to each other. It's most likely a civilization way before the "Thunderbird tribe", from the same age as the one in Dragonspine. They both used the same motifs, building style and the mechanisms were also a bit similar (with the fact in mind that Inazuma has the new types due to the developers). Also here was a timetrial challenge what contained a Ruin Grader what we only saw in Dragonspine before. What's for sure is this civilization had to exist before the thunderbird-tribe since they still saw the sky and Celestia, the tribe who worshipped the thunderbird never saw the sky because of the fog and Ruu would mention an other civilization rising and falling on his watch if it would happen, but due to the fog never left after their incident, it wouldn't match up anyways. Gosh I'm more and more curious about these ruins

[@angelmoreno3576]

Literally dragonspine story told you a piece of the sky (celestia) fall on them and turned the verdant mountaim free of the wolf eternal blizzard into a infinite icestorm, its the same, they were on their own, living their beliefs but something happen and everyone die (the wanderimg traveller in dragonspine survive by not being there and the woman that was friend of ruu in that island escaped to mainland inazuma)

[@noxie4638]

best world quest ive ever played. 9/10 (would be 10/10 only if those damn wolves and that electro oceanid wouldnt appear)

[@electrified123]

idk if it was me but normally when we kill an hilichurl it disappears but in this island their dead bodies inside their huts was still their after they were dead... genshin is a horror game

[@SeminarChauffeur]

And it's no coincidence that the thundering fury domain is in Mondstadt, cuz the thunderbird actually knows Dvalin

[@reddevilsunited_2060]

U need to play Honkai Impact And try seeing the various connection theories that Honkai Impact has with Genshin Impact. I think you will absolutely love that.

[@meganmcdonald3333]

I'm on Day 3 on the Tsurumi Island quest and right now all I wanna do is sell Paimon for Mora. Sure Paimon let's destroy the Perches that keep the Thunderbird and our buddy Ruu happy what could possibly go wrong?!

[@gsm_liv8980]

Basically the quest is just us solving the aftermath of what happened in Thundering Fury's lore and put our protagonists to rest Anyways, kudos for great content. This is an underrated channel

[@SilverSpectre90]

Inazuma. the region of the 5 Stages of Grief Denial Anger Bargining Depression Acceptence Also, will you talk about the same civilation (Eclipse Tribe) that lived in Drafgonspire taht also has murals below Tsurumi Island?

[@Blackflame1812]

The Ainu are not related to the Japanese and don’t identify with them. The area Ainu lived was taken from them by Japan in the 1800s. The ancient people (Jomon)I believe you are referring to are also not closely related to Japanese people. Your language also makes it seem like the Ainu died out or gone which is not true at all. They didn’t have a decline in culture they were stripped of it and force to assimilate into Japanese culture. The Ainu are still alive. I’m sorry if it sounds like I’m nick picking but you have to be conscious of how Japan treated them. Please do better research.

[@lunam9022]
