You have to admit to Signora, burning in rage against the gods for her dead lover throught 500 years, the Crimsom Witch of the Flames battle with opera metal is a new high
her rage is not against the gods, if she was she would not be serving one of the gods today. the people turn their back on her and call her a witch for fighting to save them, she is literally pissed at everyone in Mondstadt not just venti for her isolation. the gap between hero and villian is a narrow one.
@@lagrangewei yeah, but she would serve the tsaritsa even if she did hate the gods. Cuz the tsaritsa minion gave her the cryo delusion that saved her life. And since the tsaritsa plans on attacking Celestia.
@@lagrangewei Based on the lore she didn't kill any human when she rages. She attacked the abyss order and planned to burn herself up in the process. She was given a cryo delusion to stop her from dying by the cryo archon and became a fatui. She did rage again Venti who is a god for doing jack shit, but it wasn't known if she hated other gods tho, but even if she was, Tasritsa is probably plotting something against the Unknown God to stop the cataclysm that happens 500 years ago, where her lover died.
m8… she’s a fatui harbinger. (who lives in snezhnaya) the only time she appeared in mondstadt was during the end of “the outlander who caught the wind”. she only went to mondstadt to collect ventis gnosis for the tsaritsa.
I don't mind she's dead, I just upset there's literally no build up whatsoever about her real identity. It's just that she happened to be in that room, and traveler was furious about Teppei, and boom! You're up against THE crimson witch of flame herself!
But like i dont see the reason why we would learn about her in inazuma? The place i would imagine where we would learn from her is either from mond for example maybe we dig in the dile cases that KOF have and we see signora case or when tsaritsa use signora case as of an example of why the traveler should help her fight the other gods or maybe dottore would like to explain
@@nathanaelwalakula4743 You have high hopes..I'll be very surprised if they ever mention her backstory given the absolutr shitshow in Inazuma. Fight Signora and then Kazuha and Raiden fight steals the spotlight completely.
@@Guest-lr3eu i mean technically they have mention her backstory since her second phase is named "the crimson witch of amber" but no i dont think they are gonna mention her im just saying to OP why i think signora backstory getting mention in inazuma doesnt fit in, like signora isnt even related to anything in inazuma how is her backstory gonna be mention there
There's a lot of info, you just need to read the books and listen to the dialogue. Gotta admit tho that she deserved more spotlight. I'm pretty sure we will know more about the Fatui and their origins in Cryo arc. Also, allegedly she will be a playable character so more lore in her bio page like Tartaglia.
5:14 starting from here it hits different when you actually get the rough translation its just sad and tragic but vengeful too... This is indeed a masterpiece of an OST.
The Signora we fought back on Inazuma was not even half as strong when she was in the past.. it was all due to using the Cryo delusion.. the Cryo delusion kept sucking at her Flames her very life force and thus she was all but reduced to only crimson embers.. she had long lost her flames..
civils 6 True, but it still applies. While she eventually would have died without the Delusion since her body became unstable, using the delusion to stabilize her body came at a cost to her strength overtime. Now, while that was still a smart decision, (You wanna live at least-) that won’t change the fact that it reduced a lot of her power. Now I wonder what would have happened if the Traveler fought her when she just got her Cryo Delusion, and still was, you know, flames. But that’s off-topic for now. :P
@@ladyazura6525 traveler would have most likely lost that fight Let me correct myself travelers wouldn't have "most likely" lost that fight, they would've been dominated and incinerated the SECOND that they entered the throne room
i had the observation: The female choir part kinda sounds like Signora accepting defeat and telling the Traveller her pain (in te 2nd phase) The male part sounded like Pierro's voice resonating in Signora's head, pushing her on to fight against Evil in the name of the Tsartsa (God), possibly a flashback to when she got recruited into the Fatui.
I always felt like those vocals were a representation of how she really felt, everything she hides behind her flames and her identity as the crimson witch. How her sadness boils into anger and a resolve to follow the tasartisa, but every once and a while her sorrow seeps through, only to be consumed by the flames. I love her boss theme so much it tells such a great story.
Huge injustice to her character, her entire back story locked behind item descriptions and got killed off early. Even if she wasn’t meant to be playable, she deserved better.
Dont draw the conclusion yet. MHY is good at fool around the time line. The reason HI3 chapt 27 thread a 2ndary time line in the chapters current time line by convincely utilze a chronicle projector. We shall see MHY back track on her back story.
Spoiler Alert.. I think the reason why Signora was so violent against Venti actually make sense. As God (and guardian) for Mondo who likely absent when the catastrophes happened and killed her lover, of course she will also took the blame to Venti/Barbatos too, and that's why she took the Gnosis from him by force and looks like doesn't have any respect from him. Sadly we doesn't have any special cutscenes about her past, it surely will make her death much more impactful. We know her past from artifact and item description, but not all player spend them self digging the lore.
@@atharvawalinjkar672 500 years ago there was a woman who loved to sing in Mondstat named Rosalyne Kruzchka Lohefalter. She fell in love with the Wolf Pup Knight named Rostam, a noble knight who was the first ever Grandmaster’s companion. Rosalyne was a sorceress who left temporarily to study pyro magic in Sumeru. During the time she had studied there, the cataclysm occurred, which was a tragic event that happened as a result of Kheanriah being destroyed by Celestia. The cataclysm unleashed terror and monsters from the abyss all over Teyvat that found their way to Mondstat and killed the citizens. Rosalyne returned to find Rostam killed by these abyss monsters. She was angry and sad, blaming her tragedy on incompetent gods(Venti) and the Abyss. Using her magic, she sacrificed her body and turned into liquid fire. This sacrifice gave her the power to transform the Crimson Witch of Flames(In her boss she is the Crimson Witch of Embers, a weaker version of herself after hundreds of years). With her powers she "cleansed the land of crookedness"(the monsters), however the people of Mondstat were terrified of her and called her a witch, driving her out of Mondstat. Devastated after her god never showed up to rescue the city, after her lover died and after the citizens outcasted her, she was on the brink of death as her magic nearly burnt away her heart. However, a member of the Fatui Harbingers, The Jester(Pierro; first Fatui Harbinger), found her and offered her a cryo delusion. She took the delusion to save her life and suppress the flames. This helped her survive for 500 years. Pierro used the opportunity to manipulate her into joining the Fatui and swearing loyalty to the Tsaritsa, as she resonated with the goddesses’ goal to create a perfect world devoid of suffering and because she is now grateful and indebted to the Fatui and Snezhnaya for saving her life. At this point, Rosalyne has long died and all that was left was Signora, a personification of Rosalyne’s sorrow and hatred. I hope I got most of the story (Note: After reading up a little more, I may have been wrong to assume Venti never showed up as he did summon Dvalin to defeat Durin near the end. However Venti certainly left enough gaps in time to become so weak that he had to venture into long bouts of sleep to recover from battles. This itself is more of the story’s way of showing the downside and offering criticism on Venti’s ideals of freedom, as seen with mentions in story like, "What is freedom if demanded to you by a god" or something among those lines. So it is not entirely Venti’s fault for never saving the city, but more of his overall flaw in a double-sided ideal of freedom, which comes down to debate and opinions of his standards rather than actual criticism on him as an archon/ruler. Venti even recognizes his mistake with Signora, and now Dvalin was about to suffer the same tragedy. Saving the city, being ostracized for mistakes that weren’t his fault, allowing himself to be manipulated by evil forces and turning against the country, is exactly what happened with Signora, but this time Venti learns from the past and stops him. This section is mostly my opinion though) Edit: many notifications later and I realize some info needed tweaking lol Edit 2: I came back to listen after a while and noticed a lot of these replies treat this story like it's black and white... Both Signora and Venti are flawed. I think this is the reason the game will never explore these more mature stories because of the lack of narrative comprehension here...
found the solo and it's translation in a reddit post. Vae victis fortunarum= woe to the conquered of fate/luck/destiny Vae ignis tinea fio= Woe to the flame made by the fire moth/woe to becoming of the flame moth Vae (or Vale) et tua vanitas, et omnia vanitas= Woe (or farewell) to both your worthlessness and all your vanity. Movemus fatum= We disturb fate Fissio= break apart Dissentio= I dissent O separo= Oh, I divide (solo singer sings O sepa, leaving o separo incomplete from what i hear tho) Vae arcanus fortium malum= Woe to the terrible secret power/ Woe to the secret of terrible evil Fare ignis tinea fio= You speak of me becoming the fire moth Votus porro canus fatus ignis sentio radiatus gloria.= having been promised then a white fate of flame , i feel a radiating glory. (personally i think it might be better if it was translated as the pale flame of fate instead of white fate of flame)
Most of this felt really good, but the last line really grated on me here, so I'd like to offer my own translation of "Having long ago spoken my icy vow to the flame, I feel the glory that has been radiated." or, alternatively, "Having long ago spoken my icy vow, the flame I feel is the glory that has been radiated." It depends on if it is "Votus porro canus fatus ignis, sentio radiatus gloria," or "Votus porro canus fatus, ignis sentio radiatus gloria." so pick whichever one you prefer. "Ignis" is a third declension noun and can be either the object of the first clause or the subject of the second, which makes the location of the comma really important, and I personally can't hear it in the song. For further reference, "Fatus" is a perfect active participle, meaning it is specifically "having spoken to", not the passive voice of "having been spoken to". The translation seems to have mixed it up with "fatum", which means fate, and is an easy mistake to make. "Porro" is a stupid word that either means "moving forward/onward/towards" or "back then, in the past", and knowing Signora's history (and the use of the perfect verb case), I chose to take the later, less common usage. "Canus" is specifically an adjective for the color of light frost, and with it being paired with "votus" for "vow", I chose to translate it as "icy", though "gray", "hoarfrost", or "whitish-gray" would also work. "White" itself is right-out a bad translation, Latin is very specific about its colors for white ("Albus" for matte, flat white and "candidus" for bright, shining white). "Radiatus" is a perfect past participle, letting us know that it "has been radiated" (and no longer is being radiated, as this is the end of the story), not that it is "radiating". ...And that's twenty minutes of my life I'm not getting back.
@@pyrojam321moo thanks you, I'm another Latin student and I really liked to find the comments you and laughin coffin wrote because in this way I don't have to translate it myself (and translate all the lyrics would take quite a lot of time and effort)
Same, I would wish for her if she ever became playable. But sad thing is that she's dead now... I hope they don't do the same thing to any other harbingers because that death was kind of rushed.
@@yuka6691 while I agree, you know mihoyo will bring her back in some way. It feels so obvious she isn't actually dead. I don't know how they'll do it but I know they will.
@@yuka6691 i have a feeling she isn’t actually dead, or atleast dead for good, she would’ve brought in so much money that i don’t think mihoyo would be willing to do that. i noticed with her death she didn’t physically drop dead, but she kinda just turned into a pile of embers that disappeared. from the we will be reunited quest, we know they aren’t scared of putting dead bodies in the game. that’s just what i think though
What I got was from the lyrics Was what the Fatui stands for (Kinda like a anthem) while also describing how Signora was going to have a happy life forever but by fate it was taken which cause her to latch out with her fire at the Abyss, then she was save by Tsarista and chose to dedicate herself to the God who save her I kinda want to know who is The Wicked One who broke a god
Rosalyne, a once beautiful and knowledgable woman of Mondtstat, grieve for her lover that died in the battle of Khan'reah. Gave up her body, her empathy, her freedom to rid a world of cruelty till the very body of liquid fire of hers burn out. Till the first harbinger "Trickster" gives her a chance, bow to one god and that god will rid the thrones of the Divine. She gave her goal to a god that would burn the old world with frigid malevolence
I am still pissed that the composer put in more effort of characterizing Signora than the bloody writers Such a great character, and it was all wasted She wasn't even a prominent figure in Inazuma like how Childe was in Liyue, she was dropped out of nowhere at the ending of Inazuma just to have her killed The only competent Antagonist the game has had so far, the person to attain TWO gnosis, and she's dead. What are the writers even doing, they could have atleast had the story focus on her for a bit in Inazuma, but they didn't
Dottore will revive her, or she will revive herself. There are some hints that this can happen (The material she drops when she is defeated). Mihoyo doesn't want to lose the opportunity to earn money with her banner.
Actually it is the harbinger theme, Childe literally has the same pattern in his ost Of course she was singing for her dead friend, but the melody in itself is more about Harbinger supremacy
@@p3achyyp8p16 yeah i think they're saying it as a nod to resurrection. flames symbolize passion, anger, desire, rebirth and the latter being what OP is referring too. the rebirth of the crimson witches of flame.
I am literally crying. We as travelers did her dirty, we never got to understand her, or else we would side with her. She's not a village, just a broken soul ( quoted from somewhere)
honestly, the first time I listened to this song outside of her battle this part immediately made me cry 💀 I didn't even like signora before that but hearing the raw emotion in this peice has changed my mind
@@stephaniemay5216 if you'll put it in Google translate, you can get a relatively accurate translation. I'll see if I can post a translation here today.
I'm sure that these lyrics aren't actually what they say in the music mostly because these lyrics doesn't even match with the woman's words. Also my grandmother knows Latin language and she said that this is just absurd. At 5:14 the woman's voice actually says this: "Vae victis fortum malum, vae ignis tinea filia" which translates to: "Woe to the defeated/conquered evil warrior, woe to the daughter of the fire moth. If you don't believe me then just translate it yourself.
"A life would've been forever happy, burning with fire disappearing into ashes - everything's is gone, a sad empty life - I'm going to burn and give it up - my heart disappears and becomes cold, hearted" wdym it even matches her backstory
like the first syllable is va and not ae. You can hear a "c" in the vitis. You can hear an "m" in "fortunatus". You can't hear a "p" in "Pare". You can hear a "t" in "finiam". You can barely hear "favillis".
(from laughing coffin) found the solo and it's translation in a reddit post. Vae victis fortunarum= woe to the conquered of fate/luck/destiny Vae ignis tinea fio= Woe to the flame made by the fire moth/woe to becoming of the flame moth Vae (or Vale) et tua vanitas, et omnia vanitas= Woe (or farewell) to both your worthlessness and all your vanity. Movemus fatum= We disturb fate Fissio= break apart Dissentio= I dissent O separo= Oh, I divide (solo singer sings O sepa, leaving o separo incomplete from what i hear tho) Vae arcanus fortium malum= Woe to the terrible secret power/ Woe to the secret of terrible evil Fare ignis tinea fio= You speak of me becoming the fire moth Votus porro canus fatus ignis sentio radiatus gloria.= having been promised then a white fate of flame , i feel a radiating glory.
Honestly MiHoYo had so much potential in her death to tell us about her past but they ruined everything But thats still good since they made the music having a sence and so artifact backstory
Don't worry, there are still 4 nations to be reveal, plus the secrets behind Khaenri'ah, and the Unknown God to be revealed. There are plenty of chances in the future to dig into Signora's past.
i feel genshin is like the dark souls series where if you wanna go deeper than the surface lore you gotta read item descriptions, events, character beahaviours and piece them together or you know watch youtube of people doing that lol
I like how the male voices kinda symbolize her goal. What we see her focus on in the game is her goal. While the female voice(s) symbolizes her herself rather than just the Fatui. She’s been fighting a long battle all of her life and something she loved dearly was taken from her and then her entire life was taken from her. I’m honestly surprised she kept pushing on for how long she lived. But that just makes her death even sadder. I also like that she does convince herself to keep fighting after the goal sings.
For anyone saying La Signora deserved better in Inazuma Archon Quest and we didn't get much into her lore, i wanna remind you that it's not her quest! I suggest looking at the description of Shivada Jade Gemstone, and remember that Venti implied La Signora stole her master's face, I'm pretty sure we will learn more about both La Signora and Tsaritsa. I don't think she will get resurrected but maybe Tsaritsa gave her another opportunity to live by giving Rosalyne also her face or stuff... So maybe in Snezhnaya, her in-depth lore will be presented.
Tfw Arlechinno/Knave was the only one who remotely sympathized with Signora's demise out of all the Fatui Harbingers. The rest either hated her, didn't care or was merely concerned they lost an asset.
I also feel like you could hear some remorse in Pierros voice when he talked to her. Would make sense since he was the one who found her burning up and saved her by recruiting her.
Spoilers...but only technically, I guess? Signora is officially top on my list of "Characters who are actually overflowing with lore and make me love them" because god I just feel the tragedy coursing through her. I feel bad every time I hear her say "I never asked for redemption". She had an ambition and something that meant the world to her and she's not afraid of the point of no return. Her delusion was actually restraining her, keeping her calmed and bound by the idea that her efforts and work were in the name of something that mattered to her when her real ambition was simply to cleanse the world of the evils that took everything from her. She did nothing to hurt anybody else but they shunned her and called her a witch when she was just a woman driven by her immeasurable love. It burned until she couldn't help but turn anything around her into ash. And I just REALLY like Pyro characters. I wish someone loved me like Signora loved her partner.
I think people misinterpret signora so bad, it's either she is despicable spiteful women or she is a wounded puppy dog saint. She is none of those, she just a normal human, choosing to abandon everything after traumatic experiece & start anew for future she wants. She hates the ABYSS, not necessarily the gods (this one probably later on) Her lover died by the abyssal creatures that flood teyvat when cataclysm hit, like we know what kind of abyssal creatures looks like, example: the new enemies, the rift hound that bleed you dry. At that moment we know each archon had their fight, zhongli try to quell abyssal force in chasm in tenacity of millelith, venti whole fight with durin immortalize in skyward series & in festering desire/dragonspine spear, ei's battle is recorded in hakushin ring alongside with kitsune saiguu, if I'm not mistaken. But as she rampaged killing abyssal creature she turned into her second phase, she consumed liquid fire & become one with it, people she encounters were terrified but she care not of that thing because her motivation is revenge to the creatures that killed her lover. As she dying out of flame, the first fatui recruit her n gave her cryo delusion so she can contain her flame & y know, live n well again, she feels like having second chance & probably want a "stainless" future (which honestly, a bit creepy n culty sorry fatui simps) tsaritsa envisioned, where it seems no abyss no celestia. She worship tsaritsa onwards & look down others that doesn't share her majesty's view, as she promised her that stainless future. So her assault & antagonize nature to other nations or gods is not her real character, her character are seems to be loyal to her loved ones & smart. Though due to her traumatic experience her loyalty lies fully now for tsaritsa's ideals. When she mock venti, it is because compared to her majesty, venti is this weak god that unable to promise his people anything, certainly he can't grant signora's wish. Because his fight against durin is well known, she MUST KNOW that venti took fight, he is not just a pedestrian, it's just now she is in headspace that tsaritsa is the best & other archon pale in comparison or more foolish than her lord. Venti, not really helping by being sassy & was friend with tsaritsa mock signora's arrogance, like she stole her smile from her master, he probably doesn't know who is she before being la signora, archon is not all seeing either so far as we know like Ei that literally can choose to ignore her surrounding or zhongli that can't immediately tell who kun jun was (he possessed by azhdaha's good side) So yeah, signora is revenge driven character that is loyal to her new lord that promise her a painless, beautiful future that no other god seems dare to promise her. She is just like other fatu, she hold on to a delusion of a promised land, a promised future that she forgot that other human... matters too, she forgot that she once belong to mondstadt yet dare to offer to kill off dvalin n have fatui squad prying on mondstadt's defense, her bitterness doesn't justify her act of betrayal to her hometown & innocent people that live through none of the shit she saw. I doubt rostam even recognize her if they ever met in after life as she discarded her identity for her service to the tsaritsa She know she need no redemption in her dying quote, so stop pitying her, she can back off from fighting the traveler but she also want to erase threat to tsaritsa's plan THATS why she took the opportunity to duel us, TO WIN N GET US EXECUTED. It is not out of character, her motivation is tsaritsa's centrist & she die with her will intact. I actually feel she is badly written because she THREAT raiden & cower in last minutes, she should be running or try to avoid raiden if she is so cunning. Her last moments are so pathetic it is laughable when she can just smart it out away (if mhy wanna keep her as playable, but now we know signora is a sign that they won't hesitate to kill a character that potentially provitable, sooo BEWARE??? I GUESS??)
Killing Signora off is just a way to showoff Raiden’s power that we really didn’t even need to witness in order to acknowledge it.. I mean it’s great to invest a lot of lore and backstory into a character outside the cutscenes and let the players discover it themselves but the least they could do is to plant a seed of curiosity into the player’s mind first beforehand. All we see of her is just her being a bad guy bossing people around and then seconds later BOOM! She’s dead. We saw absolutely jack shit about her true identity and intentions in the game. Just because she’s not gonna be playable doesn’t mean that she deserves no sympathy from the players. Scaramouche was a wayyy bigger prick than her big time and has done countless unforgivable things but got away with it after a couple of story quests, same with Raiden just because they are meant to be playable. Mihoyo really expect us to forgive her after she SLAUGHTERED half of her own people for her selfish desires by giving her “a cute uncookable mommy” meme. I was actually very interested in this game’s stories but this is one of the points that really got me super annoyed.
She met a young knight named Rostam whom she soon fell in love with, after at least a year of being with him, the two got married. Rostam was a young knight who was close friends and rivals with The Grand master of favonious. Rosalyn had gotten a letter stating she had been accepted into sumeru’s akademiya. (The same academy of magic that Lisa had went to). Rostam gave her a hydro time-piece to keep track of how long she would need to stay at the academy before she could go back to her hometown and her beloved.Sadly, tradegy struck Teyvat in form of the cataclysm (the destruction of Khaenri’ah), her beloved had died while fighting to protect and survive on the battlefield. When Rosalyn returned she soon heard the news of her dear Rostam having passed away. In her sadness and new found fury, she burned herself in liquid fire to be reshaped and reborn as a phoenix would, as the crimson Witch of flames or embers and with the delusion, the fair lady. Now known and renamed as La’Signora, ranked as the eighth ratio harbinger aged probably roughly more than 500.
Actually Fatui is a Latin word meaning “Fools”. The Chinese translation also gives the same meaning. This is also evident by the first harbinger “The Jester”.
as much as i hated signora for kicking best boy, i do really feel for her. imagine going to a long journey just to find your dead lover back home, nobody was there to protect them and you’re left all alone with vengeance and anger.
Signora showed more emotion and anger than any of the other genshin females combined (excluding the children). Aside from her all the other women are either too calm, shy or happy and for some reason all their problems go away when the traveller comes to save them?? Signora is currently the only female character who openly lost control of her emotion and got angry/
In my interpretation,the Male Lyrics represent the view of the Traveller while the Female Lyrics show the view of Signora. When both Male and Female sing the same lyrics, it's like how both view each other. Traveller thinking they are right and the Fatui in the wrong and vice versa. But then again,it doesn't make sense for the Traveller to fight for a God so I can see that my interpretation is quite wrong. The possibly only correct interpretation is that Signora/Rosalyn thinks she's in the right because she thinks that the Tsaritsa is doing this to save Teyvat.
Going off your theory, the traveler fighting for a god could be a hint to the future. However, again going off by your theory, going off the little clues we got, this god might not be one of the Seven. I’m pulling at strings with this, but I thought of that when I read this theory!
The mixture of Metal and Opera sends shivers to my spine, it's something I never knew I needed and now I listen to this battle theme at least every other day

I had no idea this tune was so epic. The lyrics are staggering. The songwriting is top notch. Loved the guitars and drums in there. Really outstanding song.
Большое спасибо за проделанную работу! А что касается точности перевода, то существует такое понятие, как художественный перевод. Который мы тут все видим. И конкретно я радуюсь безмерно.
People who play the game now will never be able to fully appreciate how epic of a reveal it was to have her confirmed to be the Chrimson Witch of Flames. As someone from 1.0, where Crimson Witch was THE fire artifact set and when everyone was speculating about who it could be and how it may be Alice, the Pyro Archon etc. and then having Pale Flames hint towards it being Signora. It was just a really epic reveal when she did the Stage 2 transformation.
im trying to decipher the solo by ear and the written lyrics are close but not the words. the first example is the very start of the solo. aevī vītīs fortūnātus translates to The life of a lucky man. the 3 possible options i noticed while hearing this are: A) faeve victis fortunarum (the dregs of fortune's vanquished) or B) aeve victis fortunarum (age of fortunes conquered) and C) vaeve victis fortunarum (woe to the vanquished of fortune). option c is the most likely in my opinion since it can connect with fare ignis tiniam (missing the last word of the second phrase) tell me of the fire (Insert missing word). while favillis isn't there in what i hear, it matches with the english translation with "favillis" meaning the ravenous ashes. in the part where it says Cave refuga aeger vitas, while i still don't understand what she says clearly in the first 2 words, i hear avaritas in the other half instead of aeger vitas.
The real lyrics are actually: "Vae victis fortum malum, vae ignis tinea filia" my grandmother translated it for me: Woe to the defeated evil warrior, woe to the daughter of the fire moth.
its currently 2022, and now that i've come back to relisten on themes, i realize that Columbina's lullaby was playing at the start of Signora's theme..
Signora doesn't deserve the way Hoyoverse treated her. Her character with that kind of backstory and this insane soundtrack deserves so much more than that shitshow in Inazuma... Really hope she comes back in the future *inhales lethal amount of copium
seems like the lyrics describes signora's transformation, first part is before rostam died and she worshipped venti as a common monstadtian would, and second part is after rostam died and when she became the crimson witch and went to destroy the abyss
If you listen well there are parts of tartaglia's ost final phase but a bit remixed with diferent lyrics and I absolutely love that bc no matter how different it keeps some vibes to show that they are harbingers not from different organisations
well one good thing to think about Signora's death is that she can meet him in the afterlife... if she goes to heaven...which I highly doubt it but its still a good thought
does heaven and hell even exist in teyvat? the concept of death and afterlife is yet to be fully explored / experience but i do hope rosalyne has the closure she deserves with rostam
Tbh, the sheznaya should be a quest that is about all the harbingers, accept it's their closest "Friend" is the holder of quest and also put the whole back story of the harbingers, it's better to put whole story when they're playable, I know it seems somewhat unlikely that's going to happen, but in my pov, the fatuus isn't that bad, I'm just saying the real enemy is the abyss(My opinion)
i mean childe did try to destroy liyue then the fatui in inazuma distributed delusion to the watatsumi resistance which caused many of them to die, there was also that fatui spy (nathan i think is his name) who infiltrated the resistance and caused the whole tatarigami fiasco which also caused many people to either went mad or died, so yup Fatui definitely isn't that bad. All hail the glorius Tsaritsa amirite?
Although I wish we saw more of her and adore her character, it makes sense that we didn't. It wouldn't be fitting if she had big involvement with us, the traveller, like childe did, considering how most - if not all - other harbingers work behind the scenes and from the shadows. Aside from childe, they are schemers, her especially. They aren't supposed to have a role in the foreground, though I do think it should have been drawn out a lot more
Wouah… I didn’t think Signora’s boss theme could have a signification. When we know her past, all of it makes sense. That is really incredible ! Congratulations to you for have found this. Sorry if I have done some fault in english.
I never saw Signora as a full on evil villain since the beginning, she barely did anything so evil in the actual game whenever we saw her. She gave me anti-villain vibes and her backstory also paints her that way. I was so excited to see her character development down the line as she has the most potential to be redeemed or serve as a great plot device for the overall progression of the game. But her death was so lackluster and holds no meaning whatsoever, there was no buildup, no serious stakes at hand (like I was feeling empty while fighting her as I couldn't understand why we challenged her in the first place) then the ending is senseless as well. Literally nothing changes in the Act from her death, remove the entire duel and the whole act still progresses in the same manner. To make it worse, she ain't even playable and her story never got told. Seriously Mihoyo, wtf are you thinking throwing away such a great character with an amazing design and backstory?! It's such a waste, I really hope she revives I seriously hate the way she got killed, she didn't deserve it 😭
Yep, totally agree with that statement. Not a big fan on how mhy treat Signora in 2.1. and she literally sticks out like a sore thumb. Take her out from Inazuma storyline and nothing would change. Ei should have been the Weekly Boss of Inazuma... Not Signora. Her existence causes aesthetic dissonance to the point it doesn't make sense at all tbh
@@aldomeylano9278 and she wasn't shown in act 1 and 2 at all and comes in act 3 just to have a meaningless death. Tbh I'm not a fan of act 3 in general, so much plot holes and messy writing all over the place but Signora's fate is what really makes me bitter. She was never a huge villain and barely did anything to the traveler for us to hate her or feel accomplished to kill her, instead I just feel sad about how unfairly she got treated
@@kurogane1594 Me too... Other than that, Act 3 literally hammered the disappointment of Raiden even further for me. Like why the upper echeleons of mhy staff think that not making Raiden as a Weekly Boss and make Signora as a Weekly Boss in Inazuma instead is a good idea!?

This song is actually her sad story. She is beautiful in her vengeance and despair. I love the character. We need her story to proceed. I hope she will somehow survive, or we will be able to see her story somehow.

You have to admit to Signora, burning in rage against the gods for her dead lover throught 500 years, the Crimsom Witch of the Flames battle with opera metal is a new high
her rage is not against the gods, if she was she would not be serving one of the gods today. the people turn their back on her and call her a witch for fighting to save them, she is literally pissed at everyone in Mondstadt not just venti for her isolation. the gap between hero and villian is a narrow one.
@@lagrangewei yeah, but she would serve the tsaritsa even if she did hate the gods.
Cuz the tsaritsa minion gave her the cryo delusion that saved her life. And since the tsaritsa plans on attacking Celestia.
@@lagrangewei Based on the lore she didn't kill any human when she rages. She attacked the abyss order and planned to burn herself up in the process. She was given a cryo delusion to stop her from dying by the cryo archon and became a fatui.
She did rage again Venti who is a god for doing jack shit, but it wasn't known if she hated other gods tho, but even if she was, Tasritsa is probably plotting something against the Unknown God to stop the cataclysm that happens 500 years ago, where her lover died.

Signora's track is just a taste of what Snezhnaya will bring to the table. It is going to be the most somber of all the regions.
and painful
imagine how many times we’ll succumb to sheer cold
@@BobCross1010 Natlan is right before Snezhnaya just to remind you, and from La Signora’s second phase has…
Signora is from Mondstadt bruh.
@@strangerdanger1135 a h , r i g h t .
m8… she’s a fatui harbinger. (who lives in snezhnaya) the only time she appeared in mondstadt was during the end of “the outlander who caught the wind”. she only went to mondstadt to collect ventis gnosis for the tsaritsa.
I don't mind she's dead, I just upset there's literally no build up whatsoever about her real identity. It's just that she happened to be in that room, and traveler was furious about Teppei, and boom! You're up against THE crimson witch of flame herself!
But like i dont see the reason why we would learn about her in inazuma? The place i would imagine where we would learn from her is either from mond for example maybe we dig in the dile cases that KOF have and we see signora case or when tsaritsa use signora case as of an example of why the traveler should help her fight the other gods or maybe dottore would like to explain
@@nathanaelwalakula4743 You have high hopes..I'll be very surprised if they ever mention her backstory given the absolutr shitshow in Inazuma. Fight Signora and then Kazuha and Raiden fight steals the spotlight completely.
@@Guest-lr3eu i mean technically they have mention her backstory since her second phase is named "the crimson witch of amber" but no i dont think they are gonna mention her im just saying to OP why i think signora backstory getting mention in inazuma doesnt fit in, like signora isnt even related to anything in inazuma how is her backstory gonna be mention there
There's a lot of info, you just need to read the books and listen to the dialogue. Gotta admit tho that she deserved more spotlight. I'm pretty sure we will know more about the Fatui and their origins in Cryo arc. Also, allegedly she will be a playable character so more lore in her bio page like Tartaglia.
Maybe they will told us about her story later in Archon quest. But we already know her story from artifact sets.
5:14 starting from here it hits different when you actually get the rough translation its just sad and tragic but vengeful too... This is indeed a masterpiece of an OST.
Ayo but this part have gangsta from FF vibe i like it
The Signora we fought back on Inazuma was not even half as strong when she was in the past.. it was all due to using the Cryo delusion.. the Cryo delusion kept sucking at her Flames her very life force and thus she was all but reduced to only crimson embers.. she had long lost her flames..
The Delusion preserved her lifeforce, actually. Her flame powers were burning her life away.
And if she didnt have her cryo delusion, she would’ve been dead because of her own flames
civils 6 True, but it still applies.
While she eventually would have died without the Delusion since her body became unstable, using the delusion to stabilize her body came at a cost to her strength overtime. Now, while that was still a smart decision, (You wanna live at least-) that won’t change the fact that it reduced a lot of her power.
Now I wonder what would have happened if the Traveler fought her when she just got her Cryo Delusion, and still was, you know, flames. But that’s off-topic for now. :P
@@ladyazura6525 i would have lost the fight because I hadn't farmed for artifacts yet lmao
@@ladyazura6525 traveler would have most likely lost that fight
Let me correct myself travelers wouldn't have "most likely" lost that fight, they would've been dominated and incinerated the SECOND that they entered the throne room
LA signora`s boss music screams on what she had suffered, what she had become, and what she is fighting for right now.
i had the observation:
The female choir part kinda sounds like Signora accepting defeat and telling the Traveller her pain (in te 2nd phase)
The male part sounded like Pierro's voice resonating in Signora's head, pushing her on to fight against Evil in the name of the Tsartsa (God), possibly a flashback to when she got recruited into the Fatui.
Didnt fight her yet but damn the theme creepy and epic lol
You are right.
I always felt like those vocals were a representation of how she really felt, everything she hides behind her flames and her identity as the crimson witch. How her sadness boils into anger and a resolve to follow the tasartisa, but every once and a while her sorrow seeps through, only to be consumed by the flames. I love her boss theme so much it tells such a great story.
Huge injustice to her character, her entire back story locked behind item descriptions and got killed off early. Even if she wasn’t meant to be playable, she deserved better.
Dont draw the conclusion yet. MHY is good at fool around the time line. The reason HI3 chapt 27 thread a 2ndary time line in the chapters current time line by convincely utilze a chronicle projector. We shall see MHY back track on her back story.
Tbf the whole last chapter of the inazuma archon quest was disappointing. Even ei's story quest was disappointing
@@peppasfrontface_ peppa spilling hot tea as usual
too early to judge you know
If i come back to this and she is alive, I’ll take the L. But for now… y’all snorting on copium.
Spoiler Alert..
I think the reason why Signora was so violent against Venti actually make sense. As God (and guardian) for Mondo who likely absent when the catastrophes happened and killed her lover, of course she will also took the blame to Venti/Barbatos too, and that's why she took the Gnosis from him by force and looks like doesn't have any respect from him.
Sadly we doesn't have any special cutscenes about her past, it surely will make her death much more impactful. We know her past from artifact and item description, but not all player spend them self digging the lore.
Can you please state down Signoras backstory here in as much detail as you can?
@@atharvawalinjkar672 500 years ago there was a woman who loved to sing in Mondstat named Rosalyne Kruzchka Lohefalter. She fell in love with the Wolf Pup Knight named Rostam, a noble knight who was the first ever Grandmaster’s companion. Rosalyne was a sorceress who left temporarily to study pyro magic in Sumeru. During the time she had studied there, the cataclysm occurred, which was a tragic event that happened as a result of Kheanriah being destroyed by Celestia. The cataclysm unleashed terror and monsters from the abyss all over Teyvat that found their way to Mondstat and killed the citizens. Rosalyne returned to find Rostam killed by these abyss monsters. She was angry and sad, blaming her tragedy on incompetent gods(Venti) and the Abyss. Using her magic, she sacrificed her body and turned into liquid fire. This sacrifice gave her the power to transform the Crimson Witch of Flames(In her boss she is the Crimson Witch of Embers, a weaker version of herself after hundreds of years). With her powers she "cleansed the land of crookedness"(the monsters), however the people of Mondstat were terrified of her and called her a witch, driving her out of Mondstat.
Devastated after her god never showed up to rescue the city, after her lover died and after the citizens outcasted her, she was on the brink of death as her magic nearly burnt away her heart. However, a member of the Fatui Harbingers, The Jester(Pierro; first Fatui Harbinger), found her and offered her a cryo delusion. She took the delusion to save her life and suppress the flames. This helped her survive for 500 years. Pierro used the opportunity to manipulate her into joining the Fatui and swearing loyalty to the Tsaritsa, as she resonated with the goddesses’ goal to create a perfect world devoid of suffering and because she is now grateful and indebted to the Fatui and Snezhnaya for saving her life.
At this point, Rosalyne has long died and all that was left was Signora, a personification of Rosalyne’s sorrow and hatred.
I hope I got most of the story
(Note: After reading up a little more, I may have been wrong to assume Venti never showed up as he did summon Dvalin to defeat Durin near the end. However Venti certainly left enough gaps in time to become so weak that he had to venture into long bouts of sleep to recover from battles. This itself is more of the story’s way of showing the downside and offering criticism on Venti’s ideals of freedom, as seen with mentions in story like, "What is freedom if demanded to you by a god" or something among those lines. So it is not entirely Venti’s fault for never saving the city, but more of his overall flaw in a double-sided ideal of freedom, which comes down to debate and opinions of his standards rather than actual criticism on him as an archon/ruler. Venti even recognizes his mistake with Signora, and now Dvalin was about to suffer the same tragedy. Saving the city, being ostracized for mistakes that weren’t his fault, allowing himself to be manipulated by evil forces and turning against the country, is exactly what happened with Signora, but this time Venti learns from the past and stops him. This section is mostly my opinion though)
Edit: many notifications later and I realize some info needed tweaking lol
Edit 2: I came back to listen after a while and noticed a lot of these replies treat this story like it's black and white... Both Signora and Venti are flawed. I think this is the reason the game will never explore these more mature stories because of the lack of narrative comprehension here...
If only Mihoyo took their time and not rushing everything just to sell new characters.
The story of this game is actually fascinating.
@@nemnymeria7873 this
I think it's a good thing tho like leave the exposure to who actually wants it but hey some more cutscenes won't hurt I think
found the solo and it's translation in a reddit post.
Vae victis fortunarum= woe to the conquered of fate/luck/destiny
Vae ignis tinea fio= Woe to the flame made by the fire moth/woe to becoming of the flame moth
Vae (or Vale) et tua vanitas, et omnia vanitas= Woe (or farewell) to both your worthlessness and all your vanity.
Movemus fatum= We disturb fate
Fissio= break apart
Dissentio= I dissent
O separo= Oh, I divide (solo singer sings O sepa, leaving o separo incomplete from what i hear tho)
Vae arcanus fortium malum= Woe to the terrible secret power/ Woe to the secret of terrible evil
Fare ignis tinea fio= You speak of me becoming the fire moth
Votus porro canus fatus ignis sentio radiatus gloria.= having been promised then a white fate of flame , i feel a radiating glory.
(personally i think it might be better if it was translated as the pale flame of fate instead of white fate of flame)
Yeah these sound more like the real ones
Most of this felt really good, but the last line really grated on me here, so I'd like to offer my own translation of "Having long ago spoken my icy vow to the flame, I feel the glory that has been radiated." or, alternatively, "Having long ago spoken my icy vow, the flame I feel is the glory that has been radiated." It depends on if it is "Votus porro canus fatus ignis, sentio radiatus gloria," or "Votus porro canus fatus, ignis sentio radiatus gloria." so pick whichever one you prefer. "Ignis" is a third declension noun and can be either the object of the first clause or the subject of the second, which makes the location of the comma really important, and I personally can't hear it in the song.
For further reference, "Fatus" is a perfect active participle, meaning it is specifically "having spoken to", not the passive voice of "having been spoken to". The translation seems to have mixed it up with "fatum", which means fate, and is an easy mistake to make. "Porro" is a stupid word that either means "moving forward/onward/towards" or "back then, in the past", and knowing Signora's history (and the use of the perfect verb case), I chose to take the later, less common usage. "Canus" is specifically an adjective for the color of light frost, and with it being paired with "votus" for "vow", I chose to translate it as "icy", though "gray", "hoarfrost", or "whitish-gray" would also work. "White" itself is right-out a bad translation, Latin is very specific about its colors for white ("Albus" for matte, flat white and "candidus" for bright, shining white). "Radiatus" is a perfect past participle, letting us know that it "has been radiated" (and no longer is being radiated, as this is the end of the story), not that it is "radiating".
...And that's twenty minutes of my life I'm not getting back.

@@Humphry7976 yes we would
The end part where the vocalist just cries out "artem" which means "End it" really shoots your adrenaline up

Was what the Fatui stands for (Kinda like a anthem) while also describing how Signora was going to have a happy life forever but by fate it was taken which cause her to latch out with her fire at the Abyss, then she was save by Tsarista and chose to dedicate herself to the God who save her
I kinda want to know who is The Wicked One who broke a god
Could be the Abyss Princess/Prince. Maybe they slaughtered the former cryo archon.
Except that the lyrics and trabslations aren't exactly the ones.

She gave her goal to a god that would burn the old world with frigid malevolence
@@neros398 oh I didn't know that
I am still pissed that the composer put in more effort of characterizing Signora than the bloody writers
Such a great character, and it was all wasted
She wasn't even a prominent figure in Inazuma like how Childe was in Liyue, she was dropped out of nowhere at the ending of Inazuma just to have her killed
The only competent Antagonist the game has had so far, the person to attain TWO gnosis, and she's dead. What are the writers even doing, they could have atleast had the story focus on her for a bit in Inazuma, but they didn't
Maybe they needed an excuse to introduce more of the Fatui Harbingers. Can’t do that if Signora is around being super competent.
Is it me or the peak lyrics just said "Tsaritsa gloria"?
i dont think she is dead. It might have just been the shell. We got her mask after all, anything can happen.
Dottore will revive her, or she will revive herself. There are some hints that this can happen (The material she drops when she is defeated). Mihoyo doesn't want to lose the opportunity to earn money with her banner.
@@elviajerodeteyvat5053 yeah her theme is fire and fire usually ties with resurrection, anger, passion.
the fact Columbina is singing a lullaby version of Signora’s theme is pretty awesome

Actually it is the harbinger theme, Childe literally has the same pattern in his ost
Of course she was singing for her dead friend, but the melody in itself is more about Harbinger supremacy
Just remember that although la signora is dead, the crimson witch of flames is not

not gonna lie, her second phase theme music is really lit.. Credits to yu peng chen for delivering us this awesome piece..
I'm sure that these lyrics aren't actually what they say in the music mostly because these lyrics doesn't even match with the woman's words. Also my grandmother knows Latin language and she said that this is just absurd. At 5:14 the woman's voice actually says this: "Vae victis fortum malum, vae ignis tinea filia" which translates to: "Woe to the defeated/conquered evil warrior, woe to the daughter of the fire moth. If you don't believe me then just translate it yourself.
"A life would've been forever happy, burning with fire disappearing into ashes - everything's is gone, a sad empty life - I'm going to burn and give it up - my heart disappears and becomes cold, hearted" wdym it even matches her backstory
Tbf this is probably an incredibly rough translation. I wouldn't give them too much shit, Latin's a hard ass language to learn.
@@ill07s I seriously dont hear the words in the video lyrics
like the first syllable is va and not ae. You can hear a "c" in the vitis. You can hear an "m" in "fortunatus". You can't hear a "p" in "Pare". You can hear a "t" in "finiam". You can barely hear "favillis".

Although I was never a fan of her, you have to admit there’s such an incredible story behind her and the lyrics
Honestly MiHoYo had so much potential in her death to tell us about her past but they ruined everything
But thats still good since they made the music having a sence and so artifact backstory
Don't worry, there are still 4 nations to be reveal, plus the secrets behind Khaenri'ah, and the Unknown God to be revealed. There are plenty of chances in the future to dig into Signora's past.
i feel genshin is like the dark souls series where if you wanna go deeper than the surface lore you gotta read item descriptions, events, character beahaviours and piece them together
or you know watch youtube of people doing that lol
I'm not sure that she is really dead tho
They didn’t ruin everything LmAo stop being dramatic
@@iamthethebeginningiamtheen9555 damn no need to call me stupid what the fuck
I like how the male voices kinda symbolize her goal. What we see her focus on in the game is her goal. While the female voice(s) symbolizes her herself rather than just the Fatui. She’s been fighting a long battle all of her life and something she loved dearly was taken from her and then her entire life was taken from her. I’m honestly surprised she kept pushing on for how long she lived. But that just makes her death even sadder.
I also like that she does convince herself to keep fighting after the goal sings.
Best written female character in genshin soo far.
"Dedicate yourself to the God who saved you"
"The brave defeat the wicked for the wicked who broken God"
My favorite lines.
I find it ironic how Signora, who acts cold, in her final moments became desperate and wrathful, then murdered by the colder Raiden Shogun.
Finally a real funeral for our beloved villain 😭. Press F to pay respect guy .
F 😭😭
F
Honestly songs sung in latin just sound god like. They’re so beautiful.
For anyone saying La Signora deserved better in Inazuma Archon Quest and we didn't get much into her lore, i wanna remind you that it's not her quest! I suggest looking at the description of Shivada Jade Gemstone, and remember that Venti implied La Signora stole her master's face, I'm pretty sure we will learn more about both La Signora and Tsaritsa. I don't think she will get resurrected but maybe Tsaritsa gave her another opportunity to live by giving Rosalyne also her face or stuff... So maybe in Snezhnaya, her in-depth lore will be presented.
Tfw Arlechinno/Knave was the only one who remotely sympathized with Signora's demise out of all the Fatui Harbingers.
The rest either hated her, didn't care or was merely concerned they lost an asset.
Ironically Arlecchino is known for her insanity and traitorous behaviour
I also feel like you could hear some remorse in Pierros voice when he talked to her. Would make sense since he was the one who found her burning up and saved her by recruiting her.
I know bro :(
i was hoping this song coming out from the concert T T
So Columbina sang her boss theme in her funeral? That’s so cute😭😭
Signora loved to sing so maybe that was her way of saying goodbye to her
Spoilers...but only technically, I guess?
Signora is officially top on my list of "Characters who are actually overflowing with lore and make me love them" because god I just feel the tragedy coursing through her. I feel bad every time I hear her say "I never asked for redemption". She had an ambition and something that meant the world to her and she's not afraid of the point of no return. Her delusion was actually restraining her, keeping her calmed and bound by the idea that her efforts and work were in the name of something that mattered to her when her real ambition was simply to cleanse the world of the evils that took everything from her. She did nothing to hurt anybody else but they shunned her and called her a witch when she was just a woman driven by her immeasurable love. It burned until she couldn't help but turn anything around her into ash.
And I just REALLY like Pyro characters. I wish someone loved me like Signora loved her partner.
Damm the last line
I think people misinterpret signora so bad, it's either she is despicable spiteful women or she is a wounded puppy dog saint.
She is none of those, she just a normal human, choosing to abandon everything after traumatic experiece & start anew for future she wants. She hates the ABYSS, not necessarily the gods (this one probably later on) Her lover died by the abyssal creatures that flood teyvat when cataclysm hit, like we know what kind of abyssal creatures looks like, example: the new enemies, the rift hound that bleed you dry. At that moment we know each archon had their fight, zhongli try to quell abyssal force in chasm in tenacity of millelith, venti whole fight with durin immortalize in skyward series & in festering desire/dragonspine spear, ei's battle is recorded in hakushin ring alongside with kitsune saiguu, if I'm not mistaken.
But as she rampaged killing abyssal creature she turned into her second phase, she consumed liquid fire & become one with it, people she encounters were terrified but she care not of that thing because her motivation is revenge to the creatures that killed her lover. As she dying out of flame, the first fatui recruit her n gave her cryo delusion so she can contain her flame & y know, live n well again, she feels like having second chance & probably want a "stainless" future (which honestly, a bit creepy n culty sorry fatui simps) tsaritsa envisioned, where it seems no abyss no celestia.
She worship tsaritsa onwards & look down others that doesn't share her majesty's view, as she promised her that stainless future. So her assault & antagonize nature to other nations or gods is not her real character, her character are seems to be loyal to her loved ones & smart. Though due to her traumatic experience her loyalty lies fully now for tsaritsa's ideals. When she mock venti, it is because compared to her majesty, venti is this weak god that unable to promise his people anything, certainly he can't grant signora's wish. Because his fight against durin is well known, she MUST KNOW that venti took fight, he is not just a pedestrian, it's just now she is in headspace that tsaritsa is the best & other archon pale in comparison or more foolish than her lord.
Venti, not really helping by being sassy & was friend with tsaritsa mock signora's arrogance, like she stole her smile from her master, he probably doesn't know who is she before being la signora, archon is not all seeing either so far as we know like Ei that literally can choose to ignore her surrounding or zhongli that can't immediately tell who kun jun was (he possessed by azhdaha's good side)
So yeah, signora is revenge driven character that is loyal to her new lord that promise her a painless, beautiful future that no other god seems dare to promise her. She is just like other fatu, she hold on to a delusion of a promised land, a promised future that she forgot that other human... matters too, she forgot that she once belong to mondstadt yet dare to offer to kill off dvalin n have fatui squad prying on mondstadt's defense, her bitterness doesn't justify her act of betrayal to her hometown & innocent people that live through none of the shit she saw. I doubt rostam even recognize her if they ever met in after life as she discarded her identity for her service to the tsaritsa
She know she need no redemption in her dying quote, so stop pitying her, she can back off from fighting the traveler but she also want to erase threat to tsaritsa's plan THATS why she took the opportunity to duel us, TO WIN N GET US EXECUTED. It is not out of character, her motivation is tsaritsa's centrist & she die with her will intact. I actually feel she is badly written because she THREAT raiden & cower in last minutes, she should be running or try to avoid raiden if she is so cunning. Her last moments are so pathetic it is laughable when she can just smart it out away (if mhy wanna keep her as playable, but now we know signora is a sign that they won't hesitate to kill a character that potentially provitable, sooo BEWARE??? I GUESS??)
Killing Signora off is just a way to showoff Raiden’s power that we really didn’t even need to witness in order to acknowledge it.. I mean it’s great to invest a lot of lore and backstory into a character outside the cutscenes and let the players discover it themselves but the least they could do is to plant a seed of curiosity into the player’s mind first beforehand. All we see of her is just her being a bad guy bossing people around and then seconds later BOOM! She’s dead. We saw absolutely jack shit about her true identity and intentions in the game.
Just because she’s not gonna be playable doesn’t mean that she deserves no sympathy from the players. Scaramouche was a wayyy bigger prick than her big time and has done countless unforgivable things but got away with it after a couple of story quests, same with Raiden just because they are meant to be playable. Mihoyo really expect us to forgive her after she SLAUGHTERED half of her own people for her selfish desires by giving her “a cute uncookable mommy” meme.
I was actually very interested in this game’s stories but this is one of the points that really got me super annoyed.
She met a young knight named Rostam whom she soon fell in love with, after at least a year of being with him, the two got married. Rostam was a young knight who was close friends and rivals with The Grand master of favonious. Rosalyn had gotten a letter stating she had been accepted into sumeru’s akademiya. (The same academy of magic that Lisa had went to). Rostam gave her a hydro time-piece to keep track of how long she would need to stay at the academy before she could go back to her hometown and her beloved.Sadly, tradegy struck Teyvat in form of the cataclysm (the destruction of Khaenri’ah), her beloved had died while fighting to protect and survive on the battlefield. When Rosalyn returned she soon heard the news of her dear Rostam having passed away. In her sadness and new found fury, she burned herself in liquid fire to be reshaped and reborn as a phoenix would, as the crimson Witch of flames or embers and with the delusion, the fair lady. Now known and renamed as La’Signora, ranked as the eighth ratio harbinger aged probably roughly more than 500.
got back after damselette sang this in her funeral with so majestic
Same
Still my favorite boss battle music in Genshin. Scara comes close but 5:14 really hits hard.
"Haha, you're trembling... Is it the cold, or just cowardice?"
Coming here to play this on loop after seeing the Harbingers in the story teaser
Me, who knows Sanskrit - **Waiting for Sumeru boss intensifies**
Sumeru is gonna have a Sanskrit ost?! 😳
@@ay4sh1 🤣🤣🤣 Nice!
@@ay4sh1 😂😂😂
Huh I was genuinely asking why y'all laughing-
@@ay4sh1 It will mostly have Egyptian themes cause of genshin travail trailer thet used Egyptian theme in sumeru
Fun fact: "Fatui" is an Italian word, it means " ephimeral, transient" . ( Fatuo/Fatua masc/fem singular, Fatui masc. plural, Fatue fem. plural ) .
Actually Fatui is a Latin word meaning “Fools”. The Chinese translation also gives the same meaning. This is also evident by the first harbinger “The Jester”.
Also, all the Harbingers resemble a character from " La commedia dell'arte"
@@one_piece_is_real2888 more like heavily inspired, like,, HEAVILY
@@TheDeluche And isn't the title of the first fatui harbringer literally "jester"?
Came here because of Signora theme variant in the Fatui reveal.
fast so fast
That is a beautiful fanart of La Signora.
After this, Signora is now my most respected character in Genshin. Valid reason to become such as she is now
as much as i hated signora for kicking best boy, i do really feel for her.
imagine going to a long journey just to find your dead lover back home, nobody was there to protect them and you’re left all alone with vengeance and anger.
Hoyoverse: *Creates a fantastic character with a very elaborated story behind her*
Also Hoyoverse: *Kills her*
Signora showed more emotion and anger than any of the other genshin females combined (excluding the children). Aside from her all the other women are either too calm, shy or happy and for some reason all their problems go away when the traveller comes to save them?? Signora is currently the only female character who openly lost control of her emotion and got angry/
In my interpretation,the Male Lyrics represent the view of the Traveller while the Female Lyrics show the view of Signora. When both Male and Female sing the same lyrics, it's like how both view each other. Traveller thinking they are right and the Fatui in the wrong and vice versa. But then again,it doesn't make sense for the Traveller to fight for a God so I can see that my interpretation is quite wrong.
The possibly only correct interpretation is that Signora/Rosalyn thinks she's in the right because she thinks that the Tsaritsa is doing this to save Teyvat.
on ur part about signora thinking the tsaritsa is good, she could be right if some theories are true
Going off your theory, the traveler fighting for a god could be a hint to the future. However, again going off by your theory, going off the little clues we got, this god might not be one of the Seven. I’m pulling at strings with this, but I thought of that when I read this theory!
I'm pretty sure the male voice is either her dead lover's words echoing in her mind, or the thoughts planted in her by her delusion
Everybody gangsta until the Latin kicks into the boss OST
The mixture of Metal and Opera sends shivers to my spine, it's something I never knew I needed and now I listen to this battle theme at least every other day
If you listen closely, you can hear the song columbina was singing in the trailer in some parts.
YEEEEEES. I found this comment.
Thank you for the upload,
but I'm afraid this version is still very debatable since other version resembles closer to ashes, moths, and pale flame.
At this point im convinced that if i show genshin impact to my dad he would love everything about it, especially the music and history of the game
Official lyrics are out (according to user DrPaimon !) Here's a very rough English translation!

I had no idea this tune was so epic. The lyrics are staggering. The songwriting is top notch. Loved the guitars and drums in there. Really outstanding song.
i just had to come here after Hoyo dropped that UNEXPECTED Fatui Harbingers reveal
That part at 5:13 is my favourite and oh god the lyrics is sooo relatable to her background and poetic
Большое спасибо за проделанную работу!
А что касается точности перевода, то существует такое понятие, как художественный перевод. Который мы тут все видим.
И конкретно я радуюсь безмерно.
People who play the game now will never be able to fully appreciate how epic of a reveal it was to have her confirmed to be the Chrimson Witch of Flames.
As someone from 1.0, where Crimson Witch was THE fire artifact set and when everyone was speculating about who it could be and how it may be Alice, the Pyro Archon etc. and then having Pale Flames hint towards it being Signora. It was just a really epic reveal when she did the Stage 2 transformation.
im trying to decipher the solo by ear and the written lyrics are close but not the words. the first example is the very start of the solo. aevī vītīs fortūnātus translates to The life of a lucky man. the 3 possible options i noticed while hearing this are: A) faeve victis fortunarum (the dregs of fortune's vanquished) or B) aeve victis fortunarum (age of fortunes conquered) and C) vaeve victis fortunarum (woe to the vanquished of fortune). option c is the most likely in my opinion since it can connect with fare ignis tiniam (missing the last word of the second phrase) tell me of the fire (Insert missing word). while favillis isn't there in what i hear, it matches with the english translation with "favillis" meaning the ravenous ashes. in the part where it says Cave refuga aeger vitas, while i still don't understand what she says clearly in the first 2 words, i hear avaritas in the other half instead of aeger vitas.
The real lyrics are actually: "Vae victis fortum malum, vae ignis tinea filia" my grandmother translated it for me: Woe to the defeated evil warrior, woe to the daughter of the fire moth.
Snezhnaya doesn't believe in tears
Ngl…. That artwork kinda make me sad she gone.
It’s beautiful.
одна из причин ждать следующего предвестника фатуи - послушать фоновую музыку во время сражения с ним
Даже не представляю, что может переплюнуть вторую фазу Синьоры, третью у Чайльда и первую у Эи, но по-любому будет что-то интересное)
its currently 2022, and now that i've come back to relisten on themes, i realize that Columbina's lullaby was playing at the start of Signora's theme..
Signora doesn't deserve the way Hoyoverse treated her. Her character with that kind of backstory and this insane soundtrack deserves so much more than that shitshow in Inazuma... Really hope she comes back in the future *inhales lethal amount of copium
im right there with you... share some copium im running out...
such a beautyful ost i always come back to listen to this peace of art
I really want her to be a playable character
Somehow, just by listening to La Signora's theme so much made her into my top 3 favorite Genshin characters.
seems like the lyrics describes signora's transformation, first part is before rostam died and she worshipped venti as a common monstadtian would, and second part is after rostam died and when she became the crimson witch and went to destroy the abyss
If you listen well there are parts of tartaglia's ost final phase but a bit remixed with diferent lyrics and I absolutely love that bc no matter how different it keeps some vibes to show that they are harbingers not from different organisations
well one good thing to think about Signora's death is that she can meet him in the afterlife... if she goes to heaven...which I highly doubt it but its still a good thought
Rostam can accompany her to hell if he truly loves her
does heaven and hell even exist in teyvat? the concept of death and afterlife is yet to be fully explored / experience but i do hope rosalyne has the closure she deserves with rostam
Tbh, the sheznaya should be a quest that is about all the harbingers, accept it's their closest "Friend" is the holder of quest and also put the whole back story of the harbingers, it's better to put whole story when they're playable, I know it seems somewhat unlikely that's going to happen, but in my pov, the fatuus isn't that bad, I'm just saying the real enemy is the abyss(My opinion)
i mean childe did try to destroy liyue then the fatui in inazuma distributed delusion to the watatsumi resistance which caused many of them to die, there was also that fatui spy (nathan i think is his name) who infiltrated the resistance and caused the whole tatarigami fiasco which also caused many people to either went mad or died, so yup Fatui definitely isn't that bad. All hail the glorius Tsaritsa amirite?
But it seems the abyss wants to take revenge for khaenri'ah, so my opinion is inverse to yours
I've never played this game, but I do love the fact her name is literally "The Missus" XD
The music is awesome, too! ^^
My fav soundtrack in Genshin 🤩
When I read the lyrics for the first time I realized the words might be her thoughts and her justifications during the fight. GENIUS OST
Thank you very much for the translation. Now I understand why I can feel both sad and angry while listening to this music.
You'll know shit's real when the boss theme is in Latin☠️💀
i haven't touched this game in months but god damn the music will never not go fucking hard. yu-peng chen is an absolute genius.
I’ve never love a battle in a game like this before. This ost is just insane and badass which motivated the hell out of me
OMG. YES. This song is so good. The lyrics make me cry so much...
Although I wish we saw more of her and adore her character, it makes sense that we didn't. It wouldn't be fitting if she had big involvement with us, the traveller, like childe did, considering how most - if not all - other harbingers work behind the scenes and from the shadows. Aside from childe, they are schemers, her especially. They aren't supposed to have a role in the foreground, though I do think it should have been drawn out a lot more
Wouah… I didn’t think Signora’s boss theme could have a signification. When we know her past, all of it makes sense. That is really incredible ! Congratulations to you for have found this.
Sorry if I have done some fault in english.
I never saw Signora as a full on evil villain since the beginning, she barely did anything so evil in the actual game whenever we saw her. She gave me anti-villain vibes and her backstory also paints her that way. I was so excited to see her character development down the line as she has the most potential to be redeemed or serve as a great plot device for the overall progression of the game. But her death was so lackluster and holds no meaning whatsoever, there was no buildup, no serious stakes at hand (like I was feeling empty while fighting her as I couldn't understand why we challenged her in the first place) then the ending is senseless as well. Literally nothing changes in the Act from her death, remove the entire duel and the whole act still progresses in the same manner. To make it worse, she ain't even playable and her story never got told.
Seriously Mihoyo, wtf are you thinking throwing away such a great character with an amazing design and backstory?! It's such a waste, I really hope she revives I seriously hate the way she got killed, she didn't deserve it 😭
No
Yep, totally agree with that statement. Not a big fan on how mhy treat Signora in 2.1. and she literally sticks out like a sore thumb. Take her out from Inazuma storyline and nothing would change. Ei should have been the Weekly Boss of Inazuma... Not Signora. Her existence causes aesthetic dissonance to the point it doesn't make sense at all tbh
@@aldomeylano9278 and she wasn't shown in act 1 and 2 at all and comes in act 3 just to have a meaningless death. Tbh I'm not a fan of act 3 in general, so much plot holes and messy writing all over the place but Signora's fate is what really makes me bitter. She was never a huge villain and barely did anything to the traveler for us to hate her or feel accomplished to kill her, instead I just feel sad about how unfairly she got treated
@@kurogane1594 Me too... Other than that, Act 3 literally hammered the disappointment of Raiden even further for me. Like why the upper echeleons of mhy staff think that not making Raiden as a Weekly Boss and make Signora as a Weekly Boss in Inazuma instead is a good idea!?
@@aldomeylano9278 honestly even Scaramouche weekly boss would have been better
Since no one did it

Just by reading the lyric's translation. Kinda make me feel what she felt. Her pain during her time as the crimson witch and then joining the fatui. Sadj
The music you bring is wonderful, thank you😍💋💯
I like how for the song that plays during the fight it makes a villain out of the traveler specially when you put yourself on La Signora's shoes.
Hmmm me thinks we are the bad guys, being played around by Celestia...
I swear the Fatui always has the best battle themes
The beat of the intro marches typical funerary drumming. I love that detail.
I would love more youtubers to actually react to the music.
This song is actually her sad story. She is beautiful in her vengeance and despair. I love the character. We need her story to proceed. I hope she will somehow survive, or we will be able to see her story somehow.
