- "Thus was a dragon forged from a sovereign's duty and a friend's loyalty. Thus did a ray of light illuminate the dragon's eyes, freeing the transcendent being to explore the world."
-Excerpt from "Contemporary Folk Tales of Liyue: Through the Eyes of a Dragon"
Between drama and history, fact fades into fiction, yet the truth remains.
Between mountains and mankind, the transient is subsumed, the everlasting endures.
Between friends, a thousand ages ago is but yesterday.

Ok so your letting your dragon friend die every week
Venti and Zhongli: yes
it's the memory
If you check you inventory. You do have the corrupt stone that once stabbed Dvalin neck.
In contrast, your redoing memory fight. Not an actual one.
And Boreas is a spirit, he doesn't die. It just a training
@@Cyrus-ro8kg also from the way azdaha talked i guess he is way beyond redemption
Edit:also he is in the end still a stone i dont think it can never die thus zhongli only could trap him
@@theboythatslostinthewoods9003 whoa i never got in touch with spoiler so this is a new intel for me. Great explanation btw
Nooo...why did you say that? D: Now I won't get that out of my head. Poor dragon friends...
the moment this guy realizes that rex lapis sits and listens to all his story’s about him i’m gonna get second hand embarrassment PLS
Actually if im the rex lapis. I would be proud someone still remember me
I think Zhongli likes the guy cause his always there listening to him.
yeah zhongli would be very proud, but the guy would probably freak out and if i was him, i would too
@@Cyrus-ro8kg I doubt that Rex Lapis would ever be forgotten since he's the only Archon that ever ruled Liyue.
@@nobblkpraetorian5623 in the future it may be. Because the Qixing will be ruling Liyue. Nor adepti or Archon himself will directly involved with governing.
Not to mention, yakhsa has bigger ceremony already than archon as we sees
I guess the reason Zhongli always sits and listens to the storyteller is not to hear stories of himself, but to hear the once of his old friends that he has lost..
Umm no... i mean why the hell he is hearing a story all the time JUST to hear his old freind?
the reason zhongli hang out with the traveller is because zhongli wants the traveller to see the real history and remember them. after thousands of years, the story told by the people has change and is no longer the same as what has happened. if you listen carefully, what the storyteller say and what zhongli say are actually different... that is the erosion of time he is talking about... he is not much there to hear about his friend, he is there because he know he is the only one that actually still remember them as they were... thus he exist to carry their memories...
@@heissomeone2032 because they're all dead...?
@@lagrangewei yeah misinformation is dangerous
No, Zhongli always looks for people in Liyue to hear stories about him but in his human form but sometimes he has to correct them
0:46
Zhongli: “I answered his wish, and took him above ground.”
Me: ok but answer my wish pls
Jean and the standard gang: *Hello there*
In your 180th drawing card:
Zhongli:The contract has been made,I will satisfy your wish 😭
LMAO
Gl tho!
lord of geo took pity on the rock's spirit but not yours, how sad
LoL this comment is so underrated
Can we all agree that Rex Lapis has aged fine like wine?
Fine wine with a grandpa aftertaste
And lacking quite a lot of Mora?
And eroded over a very long period of time.
Just like in his story,
He aged like a "rock that erode overtime due to wind and rain"
It's a reminder to us in real life, that whatever you have in this world, if it's someone, family, or wealth, all of it will be gone one by one....
Hes aged like a fine osmanthus wine indeed
This Guy Still Doesnt Know That Rex Lapis Is Sipping A Tea Infront Of Him.
Hahahah yup
He should check out genshin ch tbh
HAHAHAH IKR
lol
*sluuuuuuuuurp*
Traveler: Does it bite?
Zhongli: no it doesn't
It: STOMPS
well at least it doesnt bite
Meanwhile Raiden: Mine judges you🌚
Fun Fact:
the story quest title in chinese:
世多古怪，横生盗匪
事出有因，矿山奇石
易地则明，失线则弗
变乱似流，磐石不转
if you pick the first and the last word, you get
世事易变，匪石(fei shi)弗转
匪石(fei shi) ‘s 匪can be traslate to 非(fei) which means not, since they both have same pronunciation
in 《诗经·邶风·柏舟》（One of the Poem in The Book of Songs), there is this line
我心匪石，不可转也
My heart is not a stone, it can't be rolled around
this shows determination and strong-willed, which have the same implication as geo
----------------------------
Everything will be erode
even the best rock will, one day be gone
This is reality, but my consciousness wouldn't
My heart is not a stone, it will never moved.
----------------------------
钟离(Zhongli) consist 2 characters
离(li) means leave
钟(zhong)means clock, and as the same time, it is pronouce the same as 终(zhong),which mean eventually
we will eventually leave
One of the best part I liked in the quest is when KunJun told Zhongli
'So Morax...you call yourself Zhongli these days?'
'Well, I am afraid old habits die hard. To me you are Morax'
When we first met, you were Morax
When you bestowed me the pair of eyes to see this world, you were Morax
Now you are Zhongli, we will eventually be parted, but I won't leave initiatively, and won't mention this name that means leave
*Sry for bad English
Thank you so much
Thanks, this was very informative! And yea I really like the first part, determination and strong-willed which symbolizes geo. Still, thanks for the detailed explanation!
老哥厉害了
干的漂亮，很好的科普
Whoah
Venti has Dvalin
Zhongli has Azhdaha
Traveler has Paimon
Venti also has boreas, he sure love pets lol
Zhongli also has Childe
@Mike Quach but , boreas doesn't want to be petted by venti
@@qwonksvdqwonks8840 so hes a tsundere type eh
I wonder if they'll continue the trend of there being a dragon heavily involved with each Archon.
Storyteller:"THE DRAGON SOARED INTO THE CLOUDS"
meanwhile Azhdaha:*Swims in ground*
I mean he did jump very high
He doesn't have any wings, but he is able to jump
Land Shark XD
😂
Wrong story or something had happened.
We need a quest where Zhongli opens the memory of dust which he hasn’t been able to for thousands of years
Yes please. We need a quest related to Guizhong in general.
@@EnderHeart5911 Yes indeed so Zhongli won’t feel alone
Zhongli talking about Zhongli
Guizhong practically single handily shaped who he is now. And they were very close. So close he didn't even understand at the time until now...
@@kaeyaluckaealberich1612 Guizhong is like Menma to Rex Lapis
Sudden realization: Zhongli knows that rocks have emotions, but he regularly mines them with brutal efficiency
yabai
Nope. Isn't it you the player who is mining the rocks?
What's to say the rocks don't want to be mined? Why wouldn't they want to stop idly sitting in the ground and be forged into tools and weapons, similar to how the elemental crystal cried out to be mined and carved to a dragon?
@@Nethan2000they want to be taken to see the world. Like how we take ruu’s feather. I never thought about that. Even weapons hold memories.
Zhongli be like: this rock, I like it, imma keep it.
@Nicholas Jevon lmao
@Nicholas Jevon same, but I was 7
@Nicholas Jevon basically every kid then they throw it away (atleast I did)
I mean it's a rare rock from bedrock
Rex Lapis wanted a pet rock
No joke this was low key wholesome for Big Chungus.

AH MENS OF CULTURE
1:13 This still gives me chills dude, the image, the narrator, THE MUSIC, god, this has no right to be this good!
YESSSSS I GOT TEARS IN MY EYES
That god like feeling gives shrills around my body
Mihoyo has this secret technique to have players learn more history through genshin than at school.
I can tell you that zhongli this character is a symbol,a dream of the best emperor in Chinese culture through 6000 thousands years.Yes,6000,as long as liyue history. zhongli was contracted by every advantage from every good rulers in history,and did the better job than any other.
Zhou
This is kinda like the real legend in chinese where an artist gave eyes to a drawing of a dragon and the dragon came to life
Yep, very well played homage to the lore.
Genshin have a lot of plot base on real world mythology but got their own reworked. Like Xiao killing demonic in some big day is basically the "Nian beast" story.
画龙点睛，you can search for its English meaning.
Zhongli created it. Here is an old Chinese story：a painter is highly skilled. One day, he painted two dragons without eyes. People asked with a smile why they didn't give them eyes. He said that the dragon would fly away. People didn't believe it. After he added eyes to one of them, the Dragon came alive and flew away. The other dragon had no eyes and remained on the wall
@@haowu2002 not really, remember after defeat the evil will, the good one said something like "I was a blinded dragon, but morax give me light"
Zhongli: I'll make a dragon friend
Azhdaha: frog
Phrogge
So venti have birb
@@keripik6728 sorry to break ur imagination, but Dvalin is derived from a sea slug. Beautiful and poisonous sea slug.
@@imagination2003 did i missed some info?
@@_Syk99 search up the blue glaucus sea slug and you’ll know what he means
Remember zhongli said when he died "even bedrock can turn into dust" now we know every rock can erosion and turn to dust. When he said that i thought he using word "dust" for remember guizhong.
That’s sounds like a death flag for ZhongLi.
Once he finally understand guizhong’s will, he may die. (I got this feeling)
I feel the same..
Zhongli truly is the epitome of "all my friends are dead"
Shogun says 'hello' from the future

A moment of silence for those who don't play GI. They won't be able to appreciate the beauty of its world and lore.
apparently some people think genshin is for incels and lolicons and some gambling weeb game so they hate on it without any reason well I bet half of the players don't even care about the lore

@@aadith3999 well I can still have a bit of respect for the damage loving people but the people who are always simping for pixels hell nah
@@kai4344 ppl who just like to do big damage in a game isn't the problem but these guys go on social networks and bully people who say some meta characters aren't fun to play or their dmg being less is ok for them and just want to enjoy the game
@@kai4344 almost all of my friends didn't play this game because it's too huge, their phone and PC can't handle it, and they don't have enough money to buy a new device for this game. I had a 4 GB RAM phone, and I can't played it. So I begged to my mom, and she told me if I get good grades, she will buy me a new one with better spec. I did what she wants, and she kept her promise. Man Genshin is amazing, the story writing is really good, I always paid attention to the story, even though some of those are boring as hell. This game has some its downside (like Paimon), but I won't deny the good side of this game.
Ok Mihoyo hear me out
A Zhongli skin like the one in the cutscene would be hella nice
Need Zhong Li Archon Costume !!!

In real life, just go cosplay as an Assassin.
The storyteller is getting more excited every trailer he's narrating a story, I like him, props to the voice actor too, he did a fantastic job
voice actor is jiraiya
Seriously, I got chills at the climax of his storytelling. That's a very powerful voice and the perfect way to properly convey this tale of an almighty earth dragon's birth.
He also did one for Noelle’s hanging out event II. And that one was quite funny.
I really like him. He's actually in Noelle's hangout event II.

This may sound random but, I genuinely find Zhongli more godlike than Venti or even Baal.
There is this poised demeanor and elegance in how he behaves even around the traveller. Also his story quests like these gives such ancient godly feeling.
Ei also has that kind of stuff, but I like Zhongli more than her. He's more approachable and is willing to offer any help to the traveller. He's not some boring tsundere who keeps himself locked up somewhere like a spoilt kid throwing a tantrum. Baal seems more like a tyrant and Ei's irresponsibility of dictating people just for Eternity made me dislike her even more.
Venti is just a tiny little bard who always drinks and bums around though. 🤣 Among the seven his behaviour and ideals are very different.
i get where you're coming from. in my opinion baal is more godlike from a power standpoint. Tbh whenever i think of a "god" i think of someone far beyond and removed from humans which isn't necessarily a good thing, and who are pretty powerful without any help whatsoever, and that's who "baal" is. she didn't even need her gnosis lmao she took signora out as easy as sleeping while venti (we both agree he's jus a bard lmao) struggled against some ice around his feet. Baal has some serious poise as well despite her beliefs, she carries herself very well (her trailer was so good). Anyway i also like to think, after reading ur comment, that Baal embodies the types of gods you fear while zhongli embodies the types of gods that nourish and live among their ppl. And venti is kinda usele-
I’d say Zhongli is more godlike in terms of maturity and just how wise he is. For Ei, she seeks eternity, and only eternity. Part of its a coping mechanism after losing Baal, the other part is that’s just what she’s known and sought out for the longest time. Ei is very immature in comparison to Zhongli, despite her regal status. She’s literally like a teenager. She’s easy to manipulate and deceive as shown through the Fatui, she loves sweet foods like desserts, she hides in the plane of euthymia
i think its because they based zhongli on the idea of a great/ideal emperor of china
They based Zhongli on the ideal, perfect emperor/ruler in Ancient China, well at least Morax is. After getting their Gnosis taken away, they all seem like normal folks which I think is what Mihoyo is going for
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Bro it's not that easy. We have never even seen Zhongli go all out without his gnosis and he's not just a fighter like Ei, he's a strategist, a shielder and a leader. (Let's get real, Genshin is made by Chinese people, consumed mostly by Chinese people that include China's history, do you think they will let their god that represent their entire culture and country be weaker than anyone else?) Do you think a god like Venti that can literally create winds that lift you up to Dvalin will fight Signora, removing his cover and destroying Mondstadt?
Besides, in the comics it said that Venti slept for thousands of years and that's why his power declined that much. So in conclusion, we don't know so please don't claim what you speak as facts while we haven't even seen them fight seriously once
I need a Morax Skin because reasons...

Mihoyo needs to make an animated series out of the lore, even if it's animated like this... their vision and direction for the visuals, music and presentation is just GLORY manifested.
Yeah they have made some for their other game honkai maybe something similar to that?
hopefully there are some animations in development for genshin that are not just shorts like this

Why is nobody talking about the music? This version of Rex Incognito is so freaking beautiful, i can't
Edit: the ost came out and turns out it's actually named "Through the Eyes of a Dragon"(i just noticed it's in the title-), epic.
Yes
I know right! The first time I heard it ingame I had chills listening to it.
Any rendition of Rex Incognito is amazing
I got a goosebump ... it feels so .... majestic...
exactly! i missed some of the story because i was listening to it during the quest so i'm pretty thankful to this video
I appreciate the person that animated this so much.
Same
I know right, this scene looks so beautiful!
This is why liyue is supreme
Yeah, its amazing
Op animation
the fact that zhongli's morax form outfit has a hole to let his hair down💀
ok but damn storyteller's va doing a great job
Fun fact: In the story, Zhongli drew eyes for Azhdaha. This action come from a Chinese term, "drew eyes to the dragon"(画龙点睛）. There is a story behind this term.
In Ancient China, there was a painter who was good at drawing dragons. However, he never draw eyes for his dargons. A person didn't understand, and asked the painter why. The painter asked: if I draw eyes to the dargons, they will fly away. That person didn't believe. So the painter put eyes on one of his dargon. Suddently, thunder and lightning appeared from nowhere. The dargon flew away from the paper and disappeared in the sky.
Nowday, "drew eyes to the dragon" can mean "the key process of something" in Chinese.
Edit: In Pokemon game, Rayquaza must learn "Dragon Ascent" before it can Mega Evolve. And “Dragon Ascent” in Chinese and Japanese language is "drew eyes to the dragon".
Edit 2: My English is no good, hopful what I wrote down makes sense.
Oh deem, this is cool
Damn this really cool also your English is great :D
that's really cool. I'd read this all of the time
dude my chinese book has that story. very cool, though i never thought about it.
Also, dragon and lion dances can be seen in traditional Chinese festivals.
Before the performance, people usually use Chinese brush to draw two eyes on the dragon head and lion's head. The origin is this story, which is the one symbol of the inheritance of Chinese civilization from generation to generation.

Rex Lapis then:" I shall maintain peace and order and shall help my people in any way I can"
Meanwhile Barbatos:"So, which drink should I try next?"
well he is god of freedom for a reason lol
@Аякс Нгуен Ян The architecture, people, and culture in Mondstadt is German, but the mythology is Greco-Roman.
Well, if Mondstadt was based off Germany, it could mean that the country has a rather dark past within.
Especially with how the Abyss Order chose Venti’s statue out of all the statues in Teyvat to be the Defiled statue.
DaNdElIoN wInE pLeAsE~
@@cakefrosting6451 Nah, they chose Venti's statues because it's the easiest one to steal anyway.
After all Liyue had Xiao and the other Adeptis looking after it, Inazuma is closed and ruled with an iron hand, Natlan is probably a nation of battle maniacs, Snezhnaya had fatuis, etc.
Genshin's cutscenes never fail to awaken a childlike and nostalgic glee within me.
Okay but coming back to this, I’ve noticed how detailed the music is!! If you listen to 0:50 when the violin hits you can hear Zhongli’s leitmotif (from his character song, Rex Incognito) in it!
There’s several other songs from the OST that have the appropriate character’s leitmotif too (based on where the song is used in the game ofc) but this is one of the more obvious ones. I love the attention to detail.
it's the best part too!!
The stories kept getting interesting :o
Facts
fr! the lore of genshin is so deep
If Ludi Harpatisum comes next in 1.6 it would make sense. We would get to see Venti's answer.
the overarching story is great. But the dialogues, as always... not.
Yanfei's story writing is especially cringe. They have zero clue on how to write a *brilliant female lawyer* character with compelling conclusion to the story.
The way they write her dialogue to show how smart she is are full of holes, defeating that exact purpose. Also it's obvious they try to make everything ends nice and well, but the delivery is awful. She's supposed to be a sharp lawyer too, but the side characters are acting like a bunch of caricatures, showing non-human like traits, like how the scammer acted all mighty and strong, but suddenly crumbles down and accepting defeat like a total noob scammer, unlike how his profession suggest. And how the scammed went from close to losing everything into suddenly nice and bright, acting like a goddess forgiving everything with zero consequence even after going on such length to self preservation. And how everyone just accept that the scammer learnt his lesson and suddenly will be a good guy together with the scammed.... and yanfei is supposed to be the sharp one in that situation, but she just went ciao... ugh
nice overarching story, but dumb, terrible dialogues. I'm in a position where I just skip story dialogues and take my canon info from the character stories and archive instead.
@@kueapel911 She's supposed to be kind. She's half adepti after all, they don't follow the same logic humans do.

His voice reminds me of English dub Jaraiya. But I love how passionate and earnest the storyteller is. It's just so good!

To be honest, I think the English version of this storyteller trailer is way more passionate and has much better emotion buildup to climax than the Chinese version, which is original.

this Archon Quest lowkey literally sad. Having to see your friend be gone while you live and know that you will be lonely. that hit me hard.
And how he feels eroded over time and knows his time is coming to an end. On top of already having lost so many friends and loved ones. I cried so much...
oh man.
at least it didnt as hard as Azhdaha stomps, nothing else in the game hits as hard as that
@Аякс Нгуен Ян Raiden also will surely have a dragon. See HoT from Honkai kek.
@@Purple-sd1nh "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Zhongli knows that well, he choose to lowkey leave before he lose sight of himself like his dragon pet...
Here has two storyline in this PV.
Zhong Li's word telling the truth. The storyteller's word telling a story.
Edit: If you slipt it, that will be:
Storyteller: (Contemporary Folk Tales of Liyue: Through the Eyes of a Dragon)
-In our last tale,Rex Lapis was walking alone in the mountains.
He heard a remote voice unlike any other,
Coming from a crack in the earth.
-The voice was sometimes sad and songlike,
other times it was loud and thunderous.
The Lord of Geo searched here and there,
Before finally unearthing a strange stone from the bedrock.
-The Lord of Geo took pity on the rock's spirit,
And carved it into a magnificent work of craftsmanship--
a vivid representation of a dragon.
-With his fingers, he made two eyes,
Quicker than words could tell,lightning flashed and thunder roared.
And a living,breathing dragon soared into the clouds!
-The dragon accompanied the Lord of Geo,
Fighting campaigns alongside him in the four corners of the world.
Zhong Li: (The truth)
-Most of the ancient Geo life forms that live below Liyue are blind.
Having not seen the sunlight for an age.
-That's how Azhdaha was.
I answered his wish, and took him above ground.
-I bestowed him with a pair of eyes to see the world,
And came to an agreement with him.
-I agreed to let him live among the people above ground.
But if the day ever came when he brought ruin to order,
He would once again be sealed in the dark.
^not exactly everything is a lie, he simply exaggurated it. lying and exaggurating aren't exactly the same thing afterall
@@The_Rational_One sorry for my poor english.
@@user-lj4lp4iv5j ah sorry for being annoying 😅

I would say
Rex Lapis, sitting in front of him : Mmh, interesting
The listener
Morax: Wow, that Rex Lapis guy is quite something, huh? Please continue.
@@d0r4gon70 not gonna lie, I did read that in Zhongli's voice. Best voice I ever let speak my thoughts👌🏼
Why is it that every Zhongli Quest is just godlike? Everything about his quests just makes me feel things like goosebumps all over. Oh how I wish I can reset myself and play it all over again. I love him so much, I wanted to hug him when he has to say good bye to another old friend of his.
In the Chinese view, Zhongli is a symbol of an idealized Emperor. I feel very grateful that Mihoyo can bring the true Chinese culture to the world.
@@dotstahl4590 Ikr I love zhongli's character so much its so majestic
Meanwhile venti getting wasted at the bar.....
@@finnheisenheim8274 To me Venti is the representation of the literal God that brings hope and freedom to his followers something similar to what Moses and any other Abrahamic prophets do with the guidance of God, besides him being an alcoholic because of the death of his best friend during the revolution which is very sad and touching too.
Honestly i wish we could replay all these story quests. I WANT TO CRY MORE DAMNIT!!! 😭😭
Can we agree on this being a masterpiece of music
indeed, it is as you have guessed.
Why is Zhongli so cool? He's got the best character trailer, best theme, best voice, best appearance, best character, best moveset. He is perfect.
@@vanbusto8870, dude stop spamming
Bcs zongli from china
@@iamthethebeginningiamtheen9555 zhongli IS PERFECT UnU
@@AgusAlexsandra chongyun is from china too, look what that got him
@@AgusAlexsandra Xinyan also from China, but look what she get ;-;
Never knew I could fall even more in love with zhongli lmao
I love his outfit
Lol
@@nita-fd6lo same
I did

I love tales like this and the animation, art style, narration, music, and visuals make these so amazing.
what kind of art style is this?
@@xuansang1160 no idea
This was the promo that got me to finally play Genshin... I'm now hooked
Why on Earth did they make Morax’s clothes so flippin good 😂
Edit: I know Zhongli is Rex Lapis, I was just saying Morax because in this cutscene he’s the Geo Archon, not the “mortal Zhongli.”
I want it as a new costume.
C'mon MHY, you know people want these costumes. GIVE THEM TO US!
Mihoyo: I'm not done yet on milking your wallets for characters
yeah and why do they make venti a pervert?
@@Draguunlol coz venti is...
@@Draguunlol he thought it cool at the time
That orchestral version of Rex Incognito tho...
"The crash of a Spear Brought billowing dust, the mountains and water made way at the sound, the sight of a dragon bestowed with a touch, the promise of rainwater blessing the ground"
Haha, now I really want to slap those people who argued with me that Zhongli carved azhedaha from stone a slap in the face after this new side quest, even Zhongli himself confirmed that Rex Lapis doesn’t have the skill to craft the stone to a dragon
Exactly. Now that I'm rewatching it I realized that how the story teller is exaggerating the lore whilst Zongli telling a whole different story side by him.
Zhongli's voice is great but the storyteller's VA also needs some recognition in his storytelling
Amen to that. He's so underappreciated.
Yeah, the part after 1:10 was really good
Yeah.... It's jiraiya's English voice apparently. He's got plenty of recognition already.
David lodge in case you were wondering
@@richardknox4612 omg I can hear him
Can I just say that with that outfit that zhongli has on, he looks like an absolute chad
@@vanbusto8870 stop
We see that hoodie everyday in liyue don’t we?
"But if the day every came when he brought ruin to *order*"
Geo daddy: this is *order*
One of the reasons I preferred english dub is because I can always feel the emotions of the speaker and it gives them more character. IT'S SO GOOD.
Zhong Li: “I remember Azhada having brilliant eyes.”
Narrator: “Morax would be very disappointed in your interruptions Zhong Li.”
Zhong Li: “I think he’s fine.”
Narrator:And how is it that you "remember" Azhdaha?
@@dustingideon5719 nah they wont question him because hes literally a walking encyclopedia according to Hu Tao. he knows everything of anything.
@@_straubry It seems wrong for someone to not have noticed by now.
@@dustingideon5719 Zhongli: because you tell this story at the same time and day every week
@@_straubry But he always watch & listen to the narration to remind himself the past stories
Me: There's no way I'd love Zhongli more than I already do
Mihoyo: *You sure about that?*
F A C T S
this cutscene is fast paced and i can't get enough, pls moreeeee!
This was a great performance! Especially the story teller.
Personally the best part about this story teaser is that it has 2 parallel "stories" going on at the same time: one told by the storyteller that is based on myth, and one told by the Geo Archon himself that is based on actual events. You really see how time can change perspective of things and come to understand the effects of erosion through time.
As an honest Genshin Impact fan I have to say FIFA is a more quality game than Genshin Impact.
@@Messi-hl9cw What does that have to do with my comment?
@@Messi-hl9cw okay?????
@@Messi-hl9cw lol ur comment doesn't even make sense here
@@Messi-hl9cw what ?
"I bestowed him with a pair of eyes to see the world."
-Zhongli giving Azhdaha a Vision
LOL
Ba dum tss
Why "LOL", thats what visions are
i get it hahaha
NOW-
Watching this still gives me shivers! So good.
This makes my day. Literal chills
Conclusion: Each archon in Teyvat has a pet Dragon
Lets wait for Raiden and see what she got. She acts stupid now trying to get all the visions she gave before.
Baal probably has an eastern dragon as a pet. And the community would label it as electric eel or something
@@capybaravangogh7427 raiden pet is me ♡♡♡♡
It seems they are dragon variants though, not a true dragon. Like azdaha being an earth dragon.
In honkai impact, raiden mei is a char with purple lightning battle suit that looks like a shogun armor, and when in herrscher form, she fight with an electro dragon. Coincidence? I think not
Edit : her title is thunder empress
Playing Genshin Impact is playing with a masterpiece of art.
Can't argue
Can argue
Dont wanna argue
Will not argue
Un-argueable
Props to the storyteller.
Such an amazing voice! I gladly hear him telling stories for days.
Zhongli is a protagonist who already finished his story
Now we'll just have to wait for venti and zhongli to have the ultimate pokemon battle
It's gonna be charizard vs venusaur
Zhongli has humanoid pokemons (adeptus). Venti only have suicune and a dragon.
I think I just saw fanart for that yesterday
Dvalin is nothing compared to Azhdaha's powers. Literally cried for a whole 2 hours while fighting him and still lost.
Azhdaha used Earthquake
Dvalin: I can fly,dumbass :V
Zhongli created a friend that probably will die every week GAHAHAHAHHA
Wouldn't be the first friend to die
By tony to*
Well, look at Venti’s friends, a wolf and a Dragon just there to die over and over xD
I’m on my way to to kill it for the first time
@@Nayeleya I know what you’re saying and hate to be a party ruiner but Andrius died a long time ago, what we are fighting is his spirit which intentionally wants to take on challenges and fighting Dvalin is actually just “reliving” the memory...
I got goosebump really hard when cutscenes start play
I keep coming back for that storyteller's voice
And the soundtrack 😌
i swear the animation gets prettier and prettier with every video
IKR
@@oyasumioooyasumicloseyoureyes hello is this mcventi?
exaggerate at its finest.
Zhongli is just so freaking cool. The way he is represented like a real God in his lore is so awesome. That's why he is my favorite character.
Wow...sweet...Love these archons' stories and dragons
I'm surprised this peace of artwork didn't get as many views as other teasers/ vids.
This is one of the absolute best teasers Genshin has ever and will ever make!
