Thank you so much for including Iran's Original flag. Nowadays Iran and its beautiful culture have been buried in the darkness of Zahak's Dictatorship. As an Iranian, I hope for the world's Absolute and immediate peace. ❤ #Woman_Life_Freedom
6:48 jumpscare otherwise great video. as someone of Bedouin origin it makes me happy to see us represented like this.
Natlan is inspired by all Latin America. Not just Mexico. Mexico isn't the only place that has beautiful scenes in North, Central and South America.
fontaine is forever gonna be my fav region, very beautiful, amazing quests, just pure beauty. incredible beautiful places to go, swimming inside sea, very amazing.
I hate that Natlan was more inspired in Mexico but some people said that was inspired in Latam bc of the other Latam countries food like causa or ceviche from Peru
There’s even a surfer character in this game, which is a bit odd because I thought that surfers came mostly from Hawaii
@@angelic0828 hi. This is an old video and I did not know yet that Natlan will have Polynesian influence too So Mualani, the surfer girl, is Hawaiian and her tribe is based in Hawaii. I will make a longer and more informative natlan video in the future
Thank you for using true persian flag
Wowwww, this was so well put together and informative, thank you for taking the time to do this!! Definitely subscribing and checking out your other videos. I'm happy this channel got recommended to me, you really deserve more recognition because I think that was amazing!
@@Triss._ thank you so much 😊 more stuff like this is on the way and I am glad that I made fellow fans of the game happy
mexico is not all Latin America dud, The instruments used in the Natlan concert were Peruvian, there are even llamas native to here. is a fusion of everything
@@jersonvillanueva2533 I know. This video was from a long time ago and not recently, so it was back when I did not have a lot of info I will make a longer video in the future about all of Natlan’s Latin American, Polynesian, and African influence
Ngl i wanna thank hoyo for what they have done for us. Because us persians dont really get that much representation in media and even if we do, its often not pretty accurate
For god sake its 33 types of gods not 33 million !!!! Koti and Coti are different, koti means types and coti means crores meaning millions.
👏👏
Girlboss x malewife fr
Please don't stop making this kind of content, it's one of a kind
@@althereal I won’t 😊 making people like you happy is something I take pride in
I love this video so much, love the work you do, as a history and culture fan I thank you :)
Citlali's name comes from the Nahuatl word "citlalli", which means star. The Nahuas are indigenous people of Mexico, who are also found in other parts of Central America like El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica Edit: Oh, and Ororon is also named after "Oloron", a Nigerian God
lmao africa is only included in trees and music but not ppl but thats not the problem the problem is why there is no war things look too happy.
If you think about it, if Natlan was constantly at war then every major character involved in the story would have to reflect that in both their character designs and personalities. Hoyo probably wants to keep a relative state of peace in the region so that the characters can still be expressive and appealing, and the designs can remain the same even long after the Archon quest is over
Just because it’s called “the nation of war” doesn’t mean it’s their whole personality. None of the nations so far need to follow their title all the time, and in fact, their themes only really appear in the Archon quest
As one of the other comments said, Ororon's name comes from Nigerian god Olorun, so although it isn't much, there's a bit of representation in characters
geez this needs more attention. Great work dude. You have no idea how happy this analysis video makes me. Keep up the good work
What culture do you guys look forward to seeing the most?
Native Peruvian / Inka
@@ExplorersCompass82 nilou/kaveh/faruzan/Almost Nahida _persia❤️
For Natlan it would be nice to see more visibly African-inspired characters But in general, I'd love for SEA rep. Maybe as a Sumeru sub-region with some Liyue connections, like how we got Ainu for Tsurumi (would've liked to see them alive though) and Southern China for Chenyu. Or maybe as a whole new "Post-Teyvat" nation lol, who knows
Africa❤
Glad I found this just as Fontaine year is coming to a close. Thank you for cooking, I thoroughly enjoyed :)
My friend Israel is not country Arabic please delete this flag.
@@user-lm1ud3ne2d I didn’t call it an Arab country. I said it was a Levantine country. Not everyone in the Levant is Arab. The Levant is also home to Kurds and Assyrians and they are not Arab either
@@ExplorersCompass82 what I mean Israel has nothing to do with these civilizations.
@@user-lm1ud3ne2dI simply looked up where Bedouins who eat maqlouba live. And there are some Bedouins who carry Israeli passports and identify as such, so I just included the flag there
ما فهمت هل تقصد العرب إسرائيل؟؟ إسرائيل ليست حتى دوله إنما كيان صهيوني تغزو فلسطين للابادة فلسطين حر انا بدوي واكل المقلوبه😋@@ExplorersCompass82
Wow l just known that we are in the same month lol Only 3 days apart 😮
@@Yuchiro-sp2eo happy bday to you too 🥰
Literally just subbed before seeing this bruh
Happy bday!!
Funny story It is also My B-Day as well. I made a joke last year that Genshin gifted me a whole nation for my Birthday
Happy bday to you too!! Yeah I am so happy that people born on this day sort of got Fontaine as their bday gift
Happy birthdayyy
happy (late) birthday!
Tysm 😊 it’s still August 16 rn where I am so don’t worry about being late lol
Happy birthday! I am surprised that Navia is a spanish name and also that bit about the original mafia purpouse, I just discovered your channel with the fountaine video and you really do a great work
Tysm 🥰 enthusiasts in the lore like you are the reason why I make these videos
Just a birthday special for both Navia and me too 😅(I’m born on August 16th too)
My birthday is also on the same day as Navia,but you probably don't need to know.
@@candicechan3880 yes I do need to know! Happy birthday to you too 🥰🎉🎂
@@ExplorersCompass82 thank you
@@candicechan3880Same
thats pretty cool
Wriothesly x Clorinde is prolly one of my fave Fontaine ships
Furina is a beautiful name
I preferred her beta name (Finina) because Furina sounds like Furry
@@MiyuKawasaki I didn't know that
@@MiyuKawasakiThe fu in furina is pronunced as it is while in furry it's pronounced as fuh
@@Sam-je2xj but how would I know just from looking at the name
Not 33 Million of Gods. Actual Meaning is 33 Types of Gods. 12 Aditya 11 Rudra 8 Vasudeva 1 Brahman 1 Prajapita 12+11+8+1+1 = 33
Such a shame that they give dehya shit kit and Candace and freminet a niche yet bad kit
Actually use the kit for what it's intended to do and Dehya is quite satisfying to use.
@@amandaslough125 The thing is that hydro infusion or tanking doesn't have much need rn And taking about it Dehya's burst was did dirty Freminet is a physical character and well physical might well be in the abyssal depth But then it's coming from a c1 dehya main😂😂
You have a soothing voice 😌
