Enkanomiya is my favorite region for a multitude of reasons. There's so many tragic backstories, from how the civilization fell to the shades' pasts. The music emanates so many feelings, from loneliness and longing to melancholy and peacefulness. And the architecture/platforming, by archon was it fun to explore. Ever since that location was released, I made that glowing-wall circle near the leftmost teleporter on the Serpent's Heart my wishing spot (and I'd say it's made my luck somewhat improve). I sure hope we get a place like Enkanomiya in the future. Also, Enjou did nothing wrong.

She really did. not. miss. a single point for Enka.

Yes, I’ve been watching Ashikai as long as I’ve been playing; yes, I love hoyo-mix’s work; yes, I miss Enjou so damn much. Enka also just _feels_ like lore, the way only a few openly explorable places after have felt, like the deeper parts of the Chasm Undergrounds, the Hall of Truths in Deshret’s Mausoleum, the Eternal Oasis, and the vision of catastrophe inside of the Book of Esoteric Revelations.

[@Scuttlest]

Your talk on Natlan has me reflecting on everything that's actually said about Natlan in game and in other sources. Just off the top of my head... 1. Vanessa, the first Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, was descended from Natlan people. 2. There's an NPC in Inazuma City who says that Inazuma's hot springs are an intentional emulation of Natlan's natural hot springs. 3. In either 3.7 or 3.8, a new quest was added in the Sumeru region where the quest giver gives you a general idea of Natlan's geographic location. ('Across Sumeru's desert') Really, it feels like our first big thing about Natlan is going to come next patch. We should have our series of questions with Furina at the end of the 4.2 archon quest, and she should give us a basic description of Natlan and a very broad description of the Pyro Archon.

[@kaga.mine.]

i think there's a bp weapon description thats based on a tribe in natlan (?) nerve's drip marketing mentions someone from natlan i think

[@hawkkks]

You forget the Talking Stick. It's extremely minor and within a weapon description. It's one of the newer battlepass weapons. It's vague but it gives some more room to theorise about Natlan. But I agree with you. Until 4.2, then.

I loved the desert, I thought I was going to hate it but I loved feeling like an archaeologist exploring all the hidden tombs and secret passageways, and learning about the long lost civilization there. I was committed to opening every locked door and puzzle there. I think my least favorite part of Teyvat is the area right above the underground chasm (though I quite like the underground section), it's a nightmare to navigate with all the jutting rocks and not enough interesting things there, it's just a big bowl made of rock.

[@_HuaCheng]

When I was at low AR the mountain quest made me rage so much (where you had to align the light so you could get to the island in the air) Now I feel nostalgic about it. I kinda miss the times when I didn't have enough stamina for literally ANYTHING. I swear I fell so many times from mountains, when I was trying to glide, when I was swimming, I died every time. I kinda felt stupid for dying over everything but looking back, it's just funny to me. Liyue did a good job with making people suffer AND enjoy the game more 🗿

Dragonspine was the region I made a beeline for when I started playing solely because of the glider. I blasted through every single Dragonspine related achievement and it became my first 100% explored area because of how much I love it. I still visit it from time to time because I love the snow, atmosphere, and ost! I'm probably among the very few that have never struggled with the sheer cold mechanic, too. Never lost a character to it, and it's easily manageable, imo! Fontaine, though, is by far my favorite region because of the *underwater exploration.* Underwater exploration in games is a core part of my childhood, Endless Ocean and Endless Ocean Blue World were the reason why I love the ocean and underwater exploration as much as I do now, and Fontaine adding that to Genshin? Instant hype, that was all I needed. I didn't need the story, the characters, anything, just give me that water and I'm more than satisfied!

I can't pick just one region, so I'd say it's a mix between Inazuma, Enkanomiya and Snezhnaya Inazuma for it's scenery, soundtracks, quests, lore, puzzles, and the overall vibe. Enkanomiya for almost all the same reasons but also the creepy, unsettling atmosphere of the place. Snezhnaya, well...

[@alexiosl-l]

I would say that so far my favorite nation is Fontaine for the simplest reasons of having an amazing soundtrack, scenery and also being a chill place to explore. However, Im one of those who like the fatui but because they’re interesting, well written characters with deep backstories (I know other characters have deep backstories and they’re good guys) but the fact they turned into “villains” intrigues me to know exactly why and understand their pov and motives. In conclusion, i BELIEVE my favorite nation overall should be either Khaenri’ah or Snezhnaya (but fontaine will also be up there, hard to chose ngl) p.s Regarding lore the top 5 people i recommend for anyone to look up is: Zhongli, Xiao, Childe, Scaramouche and Dottore (even tho we don’t know much about him yet!)

[@silver.shoelaces]

My top three locations, in order, are: 1) Liyue 2) Enkanomiya 3) Khaenri'ah Needless to say, I'm a story/lore player. Yes, I loved Enjou. Yes, I speculate theories about Kaeya and how he might be related to Anfortas rather than Chlothar. Yes, meeting the Pari excited me because I was unexpectedly rewarded with Dainsleif lore. I've had a theory since 2.5 that Teyvat exists in a time loop. That's why the abyss sibling insists you must finish your journey before they'll talk to you; that's why Aether is always shown as the protagonist in promotional material even while Hoyoverse claims both twins are equally canon. You and your twin won't be able to break out of the endless cycle until the loop comes to completion, just as the Sacred Sakura has always been there as long as Miko can remember. You won't change the past. Aether's past is Lumine's future. And vice versa. And that's also why your twin is not a descender: you are actually the same entity as your twin and have been all along. After all, before arriving in Teyvat, you've never been separated before. The world registered you both as one entity.

[@-Theo-]

One of the reasons Fontaine is my favorite nation (Tied with Khaenri'ah) is because the underwater area feels extremely nostalgic for me.

LMAOOOOO My favorite region is specifically the desert of Sumeru!!! I was OBSESSED with all the temples!! Like I was literally disappointed when they added the layers to the map because not knowing where the fuck you are underground was part of the fun to me 😭😭😭

[@carefree17]

... wow...

[@senu.]

​@@carefree17does blind exploring scare you that badly ? you should play more games try the ones without a map

[@pog717]

i love sumeru and especially the desert. The music and different views are so pretty. Tbf i had the underground map while exploring since i started playing end of sumeru.

[@_emulion_]

my faves r mondstadt and fontaine and its insanely accurate. i just wanna be held. fontaine quests are so gentle compared to the other regions (STARES AT THE DESERT AND INAZUMA.) i was like “that was it?!”

[@Jasmine270]

I just really like snowy areas :')

[@ImaPandaFox]

Enkanomiya was so fun to play through. Yeah there’s no voice cut scenes or anything fancy but the atmosphere is peak. I’ve always enjoyed Genshin puzzles, and that area was just filled with amazing puzzles that were so fun to solve. and I really really like how you had to basically jump off part of the islands to find the rest of it. literally trust fall. Anyway, I’ve never had more fun exploring a region then when enka came out. I 100% in like the first week and then we got the event I was excited to go back. Just sucked that it wasn’t good 😢 But yeah best area especially when you just wanna chill by yourself and ignore all coop invites lol😂😂

[@iriskohr6900]

I fully admit that the desert is my favorite and I waited for it for with great anticipation.

[@Manyo569]

I haven’t played genshin in 2 years. My phone would die on me if I were to download it again.

[@babykichy6286]

I love mondstadt cause it has the best characters, especially jean, and there’s so much hidden lore in mond that NOBODY pays attention to. Windblume is not the only thing we have because EVERYTHING ties back to Mondstadt, we don’t even have the entire region! We are far from done in Mond.

[@Delph1Oracl3]

Natlan people are just hoping to see Himeko again lmao

[@carefree17]

lol .

[@mage467]

I don’t like shenznya because of the fatui I like it since winter and snow in general is so pretty and I would just love to see a city in the snow! Amazing video btw

[@itsjustrhon]

enkanomiya + khaenri'ah fan here ^-^ your take is very accurate, i am a diehard dain stan and am a completionist lore player. i am also a coward who was TERRIFIED of going into enkanomiya and completing the region bc the abyss monsters scared me.... i am even more fearful of khaenri'ah. but I'll do anything for a scrap of lore (like fighting a bunch of random dudes in the Chasm to unlock a door, etc.)

[@octo448]

Before Sumeru I had near 100% exploration in all three regions (plus the Chasm!). I only found out the desert has a "beneath" in 4.1 when I was cleaning out my quest log. Yikessssssss

[@anyanP]

I really liked Sumeru (the forest part and second desert expansion) and Enkanomiya, but so far Fontaine is probably my overall favourite. The exploration isn’t quest locked and fun, the puzzles are alright, the world quests are as good as Sumeru ones in terms of story but way better structured and paced, also the best Archon Quest as of now. Also Vivianne and Ninianne my beloved, best bosses in the game

[@iihxneyd3wii]

Me too!

[@slansmsmss]

Okay hear me out, I love Natlan BECAUSE of how mysterious it is. We have met nobody from Natlan, theres no books, really anything about Natlan. We only got crumbs from the talking stick and know about the mare jivari. Other than that, we know nothing, which is why I love natlan so much.

[@tinqua23]

Natlan now has one piece of lore in-game!! the new BP claymore "the talking stick," after 3 years of nothing outside the manga we got something!!

[@Scarlett-bs7vw]

Yes i suffered in dragonspine but that place just stuck to me. The ambience is just amazing. Ive spend so much time there just walking around or just stare at the screen. 😅

[@1Albedo]

1:18-2:04 i feel called out on so many levels... well i'm not going ferral for albedo nor do i really hate pallad, but still... i love the music, the lore, i enjoy how much differently you have to engage in a battle and how you need to think before you make your next move, and i also like the pressure you feel while fighting, because it's just a fresh breath of air every time from the old and boring "just toying with the enemies" mood you get set to when fighting enemies on the rest of the map. other than that it's the perfect area for me to go to and relax inside my cave.

[@Grungy_Rat]

going to enkanomiya for the first time is an experience ill never get back

[@stevieveringus3857]

Sumeru is about being methodical and resourceful. The less you are, more the suffering

[@wrioculus]

this was pretty funny being someone who loves dragonspine, inazuma and enkanomiya! i just love the vibes and lore of dragonspine, and i have a lot of good memories bc of dragonspine getting the most banger events. inazuma is a region i used to hate a lot for how difficult and dreadful it was to get through, but idk, over time i've come to sort of appreciate it a lot more. and then enkanomiya is the absolute best region in the game. the best lore, the best aesthetics and the best soundtrack easily!

[@ПавленкоАнатолий-д6п]

I wonder if after uploading the video you refresh youtube every 2 minutes to see if there are any comments Fontaine does feel like an anti-stress region, finally no electric chair torture and any other hazards And I believe I love Dragonspine because it reminds me of Skyrim

[@twigvt]

I perceive every comment- I AM youtube itself

[@andregynous]

Everytime I 100% a region in Genshin my sister tells me to touch grass... so having Sumeru be my favourite region and thus having special breed of self hatred is... incredibly accurate and you're right, I have learned to enjoy the pain. No this is not a cry for help.

[@hadesbelt]

I haven’t really picked a place that’s my favorite I think the one thing I’ll like about a region depends on how much ascension material I could farm for a certain character I’m building

[@Andrew_Malyshev]

I hate Chasm for gameplay, but love it for it's lore and atmosphere. I will never stop hating Inazuma for how much stress it gave me, I still hear lightening sounds in my nightmares because i completed that island with lightnings in one day and had to spend 9 hours listening to one loud and annoying sound. On another note, Fontaine is my new favorite region because of how chill it feels to explore and it's underwater soundtrack

[@fairytypingg]

"when your one pyro character targets everything EXCEPT the torch" tell me you explored dragonspine with xiangling without telling me you explored dragonspine with xiangling(its okay i did too)

[@pixk_axe]

i’m sorry but i hate the chasm as much as inazuma 😭😭 i honestly rlly don’t like dark areas cuz it makes me feel unsafe even when my characters are strong, that’s the whole reason i dont explore honestly, and also, i LOATHE sumeru, like the fricking long quests and feel like the desert will never stop expanding, thank god fontaine saved me. and that’s why fontaine’s my favourite, not only i love the diving feature, i really love the aquabuses and the quests are only a bit long but i am focused on reading most of the dialogues

[@zola__]

For me, my favorite is sumeru because I started playing during it and that year was the best year of my life so i feel home there. But yeah the quests drive me insane

[@ryomahoshi643]

Natlan is nice because it’s the only region that’s in it’s own little bubble, mostly separate from the rest of the fandom. There are very few Natlan fans, but that just makes it feel more like a small community. …9 months left until it gets absorbed by the rest of the fandom…

[@bluequartzdragon]

Ok, put simply, I love all of the underground or sub areas (Enkanomiya, Dragonspine, Chasm, Remuria) because their music is peak, the lore is like a slap to the face and a stab to the gut, and the beauty is just MMM MMM MMMM yummy. SPOILERS FOR THE MAIN CHASM QUEST After coming back to the final area with the Pillar after literally two years of finishing the quest, I found an “interact” sparkle, a journal, and an achievement. That final piece of lore on what possibly happened to that girl is just… so sad. Genuinely I think that the Chasm is the most devastating area just to be in. Finding a ghost of a girl, seeing someone go literally insane, another basically abandoned out of the duty to her nation, and even finding that one small area with the Irminsul branch poking out is just wild. The fact that part of Nahida’s quest, two (now one) of the main quests are held in there, and it’s one of the first areas we get to see full on abyssal energy, the area itself is just so key to lore AND SO FORGOTTEN. Also the battle music for that specific area is amazing. Edit, YEAH. ENKANOMIYA IS SO LOOKED OVER. LITERALLY YOU CAN FIND A RANDOM BOOK IN THERE THAT LITERALLY EXPLAINS THE ENTIRE BEGINNING OF TEYVAT LIKE GIRL WHAT

[@renindeyoko5481]

when i first started dragonspine i tried to just climb the mountain looking

[@twigvt]

Didnt we all fjfhbdbd

[@Piarte_Anchoritz]

My favorite region is the Chasm because I joined during Inazuma and the chasm was such a breath of fresh (must dusty dank cave) air. The environments and the soundtrack are amazing and the upside down city go brr. When you said Khaenri'ah I did a double take 'cause I didn't know that was an option and nah I'm just a Dain fan. I only play for the lore. We know so little about it. Every time he does his lil annual appearance we get more questions than answers. It's great.

[@mythicx6442]

Getting Philinamo Mushroom from Monstdat is the bane of my exsitance ;-;
