- Throughout our journey in Teyvat, we have visited a total of five different nations, each with a huge variety of locations. In this video, I talk about how each of these nations could be expanded in the future using what we know in game, as well as my own speculations.

I guess you also got the question about regional expansions in the Genshin survey?
Me resisting the urge to say "rename the title to filling the empty holes of every women in teyvat"
Whoops looks like i just did
@@nekimi__ what
I'm still waiting for Blackcliff to be added to fill that gap between Sumeru, Liyue and Inazuma so the sailors no longer have to deal with Paimon while trying to deliver their cargo.
Wasn't Blackcliff just the area underneath the Jade Chamber?
@@DrakeWurrum That mine is supposed to be the way to access the Blackcliff Forge, but for now, it's locked so I'm assuming that will get access to it when Hoyo decides to add that part of the map.
@@DrakeWurrum Next lantern rite at 5.4 will be blackcliff forge (I hope so)
😂😂😂
@@andrewducot2857we hope so
At this point I just want another Mondstadt expansion. Mondstadt feels like it's being brought back out of obligation. They have so much for Liyue, give Mondstadt some crumbs p l e a s e 😭
Their expansion might be related more to Sneznaya chapter so it will take a while
They're definitely planning an expansion but I think it's gonna be bigger than we thought, also there might be another archon quest that takes place in the expansion if you've seen any of the theories that Mondstadt is the gateway to Celestia. Also there's Istaroth and all that fun stuff. They might be planning to drop all the expansion at once right before Snezhnaya or something. Or I'm just coping hard.
With the current event and a few characters talking about a port in mondstadt we haven't seen yet I'm sure we will get another expansion to mondstadt (since DragonSpine is a mondstat expansion (the first and one of the most visually different to it's nation
If Sumeru gets even one tiny expansion before Mondstadt I will lose it on HoYo.
Sumeru better not get touched until everyone has had an expansion before Snezhnaya. It’s the biggest monstrosity on the map with endless Aranara quests & hellish desert pyramid puzzles. If I never had to go back to Sumeru I’d be overjoyed.
The list goes:
Mondstadt
Inazuma
Liyue
Mondstadt again
Fontaine
All of Natlan
Snezhnaya
Khaenri'ah
The Abyss
End Game
Then MAYBE after all of that…Sumeru
@@jerryoxo I guess the desert region isn't for you, then. Are you not playing for exploration or something? Just curious. I personally really love the expansions to Sumeru, but I do agree that a Mondstadt expansion is long overdue. Hopefully Hoyo listens to us or is already planning to spoil us with one big Mondstadt expansion.
hey guys, its Kanna from the future... Bayda Harbor is a dissapointment
it's actually so fucking tiny
@@cr1ym and there’s nothing there 😶
The only thing that is a mystery is a bell noise that in the surrounding hills.
@@danielm5535this is just Scilla making noises underwater. You can hear the same noise while interacting with it
That gap between stormterror’s lair and liyue has been KILLING ME
I do read somewhere in Port Ormos, an NPC named Berat mentioned something about the Purple Sea whenever they look at the direction of Watatsumi Island. If that is true then we might get an expansion to the Purple Sea for Inazuma, most likely we'll be talking about the Electro Dragon Sovereign. Maybe we'll have an underwater exploration outside of Fontaine? That would be cool but might be tricky to relate that power lore wise since we can dive onto Fontaine underwater because of the statue.
isn’t orobashi the electro sovereign?
he’s dead and his skeleton is on an island in inazuma
and I heard that there are hostile sea monsters that are buffed
@@lostlauraa.mp4 honey, orobashi is not a sovereign. in fact he is killed because he read the book of sun and moon, which has information about the seven sovereign 😅
@Nekogitsune That and because he made a desperate attack to "mainland" Inazuma to secure resources for his people.
It's the Sea of Cloud, already referenced during that cooking event in Lantern Rite by Dori, it's somewhere possible to be cruised around for us to make landfall and then explore about, as well previously within lore about Orobashi's first arrival into Enkanomiya had passed this sea beforehand, highly possible to be territory under the rule of Raiden Shogun nominally, I mean if vacation cruise ship sponsored by Dori could sails near it, why not us as well?
When Bayda harbor comes out and it’s smaller than springvale with three chests
2:38 the reason as to why Dorman port is constantly being patrolled, may be because of the fact that that statue of the seven we see is missing from Dorman port, and because "the archon is no longer protecting the land" monsters and abyss creatures are roaming around
Which *could* mean a quest where the traveler has to retrieve the statue!
The dark sea next to inazuma theory is also really plausible. However, the seelie palace quest feels like an epilog thing. Maybe we will get the dark sea expansion after the endgame?
Bayda Port has been added and it is a disappointment, they added 3 chests, gained access to a mountain and the coast, and added one teleport waypoint and two waverides in the port. There's nothing there, in the port. Oh well. At least Petrichor and The Sea of Bygone Eras' is cool.
I remember the days speculating that Blackcliff Forge will be released before the Chasm.
Would be cool if we saw some boats on the sea going from Dorman port to other ports in Teyvat. Also moving caravans on the roads would be nice. The world feels very dead.
Similar to the slumpter beast and the rafts in chenyu vale. They could be merchants on the move or just travelers.
Dornman Port has to be happening within the year or next. It's been name dropped at least 3 times in the last few months (Mona, Dori's boat trip, and now Eula and Beidou.)
I'm personally hoping for more Mondstadt in general because (imo) it's the region with the biggest potential lore bombs that are still waiting to be dropped (please drop them Hoyo its been too long).
As for which lore- I want more Hexenzirkle. Because I'm a shameless Mona simp and want to know what their deal is.
I first think it will come a little b3fore sneshnaya, so update 5.6, maybe 5.4
Mondstadt- Dorman Port, Dendelion Sea
Liyue- Blackcliff Forge
Inazuma- Purple Sea, Mirrage area of Youkai(Shown during mikawa flower festival)
Sumeru- Bayda harbour, City of Gurabad(Fallen in Abyss)
Fontaine- Petrichor, Rimuria, Mt. Esus
Considering we got the Arlecchino drip market, one of those Fontaine areas might appear
@@MineGustavoGamerprobably remuria and petrichor is my guess
@@res6148u have also seen the leaks
@@MineGustavoGamerprobably cuz alhaitham was released in 3.6 in which another desert have appeared
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTION THE MIRAGE! Having us to fully explore the Youkai realm would be a great expansion to Inazuma!
well... with the release of 4.6 immediately after this... that part about the hole between Liyue/Sumeru/Fontaine didn't age that well xD
I need mondstadt extension and that damn loreeee😢😢
Yeah me too :((
Yeah...TT the lore,venti and istaroth i need to see them 😢
Lore about Venti, Isaroth and possibly more Decarabian lore. I still think Venti is hiding something from us involving those 2 people. Just my thought, dont take this theory seriously.
@@ryderm6724 I'm taking your theory seriously because I'm pretty sure you're right, but don't quote me on that lol
in Khaenriah arc there Will be more Mondstadt
So many good ideas for Bayda Harbor, and none of them made it into 4.6. Disappointing map expansion
Bayda harbor was a massive disappoinment
The space between sumeru and Fontaine is now filled with
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORTH IT.
Inazuma is not yet connected to Sumeru, and someone speculated that there is an island that is said to be the known location of Electro Sovereign, and it is related to the Sakura Cleansing World Quest.
Mondstadt needs to be like twice as big as it is right now. And we need blackcliff.
The Bayda Harbor in 4.6 expansion is so lackluster they really just added a bit of filler area with nothing much there no chests no quests. Truly a disapointment. And i know the focus is not the sumeru expansion in the update but common i have never seen such a lifeless dead area before in genshin
Actually. I was curious so I went onto the genshin interactive map and there is legitimately nothing aside from three chests. So disappointed, especially considering just how big of an area they gave us.
lets just hope they add more to it in later updates 🙏
Worth noting that there used to be a bunch of stuff in that body of water that is now submerged (according to Lynette). You would typically not set up shop in an area that was steadily getting flooded. Perhaps that was the thought process, seeing as it's unprecedented for land to be empty like this.
I know deep in my heart, the out of bounds house will be very important.
I just want that damn sliver of unidentified area in between Stormterror's Lair and Qingce Village to be explorable. It's been driving me crazy since 1.0!
(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
knowing how the game is i doubt they’ll put anything to explore :( just a filler place basically
Here's my theory:
in we will be reunited, we saw the defiled statue. Perhaps this is from the Mare Jivari, and it being taken is why it is described as a "sea of ashes where the wind does not blow" as well as a "completely empty" place "without anything at all,".
Bayda harbor did get added but theres litterly one chest and thats it bro they did it dirty
A week ago with 4.6, Bayda Harbor came out. Absolute nothingburger, not even a single chest in the region.
When Caravan Ribat was released in Version 3.0 noting much was done there until the Archon quests and desert expansion in Version 3.1. I expect something similar in the future for Bayda Harbor. Perhaps the empty space to the west may see an "archon quest" expansion there.
There's actually a few chests in the region, one being at the top of the mountain next to the harbor, but yeah, not a lot
I really hope that we get Inazuma expansions, I dunno why exactly, but for me, Inazuma has this mysterious feeling about it and I‘d love to see more of that.
I have a feeling that Inazuma might be the first region that 100% finished
@@muhammadangga6508 true
@@muhammadangga6508 Nah I don't think so cause this would make Inazuma by far the smallest region of all and it would be don't use potential 👀
4:55 i think you’ll regret saying that.😊
Book 5, Natlan, the fire nation. Only the avatar, master of all the 9 elements elements could stop them. But when the world need him most, he vanished.
8:30 4.6: No
Returning to this video after Bayda Harbour being released, I'm just disappointed cause of what could have been.
Mihoyo: all you get are tiny islands
oh god please don’t make sumeru bigger than it already is
Embrace your inner Archeology and dissect place such as the strange well surrounded by a lot of boar in Brightcrown mountain, or that cor lapis scattered throughout Farrurakha Oasis or the facf Makoto's Sakura tree exist in both within deshret pyramid and on top of elynnas remains.
wait what wdym?
Dornman port waiting gang here 💪
MY THEORY:
Since the trailer for all the nations dropped when the game just started and it's name is Teyvat Chapter
WHAT IF WE GOT THE DARK SEA CHAPTER!!
LIKE WHAT'S BEYOND THE BORDERS OF TEYVAT AND HOW IT DIFFERS THAN THE PLACES THAT THE ARCHONS GOVERN
The new Event for 4.5 also mentions Dornman Port - Eula met Beidou there.
I think it's a pretty big port , it have tavern, houses ,so probably around Inazuma Port size
Interesting note, this implies that Dornman is at sea level (for Beidou's ship to reach), and not at Lumidouce harbor's elevated level. This would mean it either isn't on the Western border of any new Mondstadt extension or it's at the waterfall transition similar to Yilong or the Fontaine harbors.
@@molybdnum it's already known that it's on the eastern side of Mondstadt north of Stormbearer Mountains following that coast line up. 😀
I don't want to be mad at hoyo if they really just didn't have time for a better bayda harbor but they could have atleast put more than 3 chests 😢 its sad knowing that the area will never be revisited and updated (most likely)
Talking about Remus as I was doing the quest
I was really impressed when I got the new update the other day bayda harbour was exactly where you predicted.
Caught me off guard not gonna lie haha
LEAKERS
Bayda harbor got the treatment of all time
As in a good way or bad way?
I have seen the map
@@DinurAs bad way
.
Way too small for a harbor
@@DinurAsWell
It's literally smaller than the average Hilichurl camp
@@athomeagain ah😂, I compared that place, it's smaller than Dori's place, they saved the budget for remuria I guess, can't complain, remuria is beautiful
I absolutely loved Chenyu Vale. One of my favourite areas to explore. 💚
Now I just cant wait for more Mondstadt to explore. It'll be like going home!
1:35 the sea between Lumidouce port and Yilong wharf is of a significantly higher elevation than the sea surrounding Mondstadt. This should be obvious considering that you can follow three sets of big waterfalls cascading down Chenyu Vale to Dihua Marsh. Dornman Port would not be accessible to Lumidouce Harbour.
Mondstadt as it stands now needs more than just an expansion; it needs to be completely refurbished.
It was very clearly the first continent developed for the game and many parts were left unfinished in so many places (the area around Stormterror's Lair being the most egregious example), and it's the first continent new players get to see, and it doesn't give the best first impression. Much of the environment is very same-y and there aren't enough eye-catching landmarks.
The early game quests also need some redoing and new voicework (Razor's quest is so bad, why was it left in the game in that state for so long someone please save him). The long-standing VA's have gotten well accustomed to their roles and can provide a stronger performance the second time around.
I really want that tallest mountain in Fontaine already. GIVE IT TO US HOYO.
They ruined us once by making the tallest mountain in Sumeru have absolutely nothing on it in this most recent expansion. Don’t do the same to Fontaine, Hoyo!
Minor error throughout this video is that you seem to think the body of water, where Lumiduce Harbour is, is the ocean. It's actually not part of the sea at all but rather a large freshwater lake and way above sea level, which means it would likely be impossible to get to Lumiduce Harbour from ports located at the ocean.
This means Dornman Port is either at sea level, the same level as Lumiduce or somewhere in between. It looks like it would be at sea level since iirc it has been mentioned that it recieves shipments from Liyue. Although that doesn't neccessarily have to mean Liyue Harbour as they could've also been delivered through Yilong Warf in Chenyuu Vale.
So it could be possible that Dornman Port borders the lake.
Also regarding an Inazuma expansion, what I really want to see is some context regarding the Electro Dragon Sovereign since they have iirc never even been mentioned before. With Enkanomiya focusing on the Hydro/Bathysmal Vishaps it would be interesting where the Electro Vishaps went. The absolute lack of any mention of the Electro Sovereign and anything related to them in Inazuma makes me think they might have fled into the Dark Sea. Maybe at some point we need to seek out all the Sovereigns and that's our story reason to explore the Dark Sea.
8:06 More like Completely Ocean except one island 🤣🤣🤣
Something about Chenyu vale is we still lack Mt. Yaojun, possible its gone now cuz it was ancient but yea.
good genshin theory/speculation video. I'm sure their is another unnamed area of mondstadt were the descendant people of murata stay and possible origin place of venti(we glad to see if their is a statue of god of time). I wish we can see a paimon like creature in mondstadt expansion area it will be a huge lore of paimon origin. Dandelion sea expansion area is possible place of talking foxes i'm sure this area have a huge lore of kitsune in inazuma(because kitsune is not really from inazuma)
maybe the dandelion sea is between inazuma and mondstadt
The Teyvat map is fascinating; Hoyo can add any number of expansions via new minimaps (Chasm, Enkanomiya) but the actual Teyvat overworld has some limitations. They really made a weird decision with the split water level outside of the Fontaine plateau at Lumidouce/Yilong that will make it impossible to connect up some sea routes. If they want to reserve Liyue expansion space for the future after Blackcliff, it'll have to be above Chenyu. Inazuma has the bottom-right corner for a whole island but not a lot more.
Why don't we just fill the empty space with a giant walmart supercenter
great video! most times I watch videos like these I feel lost and confused but you really covered tit bits that people might not remember like remuria etc., thanks!
What an awesome and informative video. Love the idea that a mondstadt expansion would include the site where the inverted statue of the seven was stolen from. I have one slight disagreement at 9:30; I feel like what will connect us to Natlan will be the Mare Jivari, as it's referenced to be on the opposite end of sumeru's desert. I think crossing this lake of fire will lead us into Natlan and also be a good explanation as to why we've never met a Natlan NPC (they have to cross it). May also be an opportune time to have Venti's second story quest, but who knows!
you have such a lovely genshin lire channel. i love it so much.
Thanks for making this!! super informative!
The BGMs you chose are my favorite songs in the game, great choice!
I've known about all of these expansions, except the dark sea! Thank you so much for telling me this it's made me very excited since it could be closer (time wise) than you think.
I can't wait for all the new areas to be uploaded 😭
Good video, as always~
For Fontaine we need a Ocianid place, since Fontaine came out de still havent have a Ocianid place, I have commented in one for your videos a possible way Ocianids can be in a spécial place for them since day one we know the Fontainians créatures are in every nations so making them come back seems pretty much logical
I have heard that there is an npc near port in sumeru that says that there is a path between Inazuma and sumeru where a dragon is seen .
Finally someone else who remembers Layla's comments about her village and Petrichor
No more desert I beg you no more sand
I love deserts
I don't like sand...
If more desert means more king deshret aka Amun Al-Ahmar lore I willing to get more of those 😅
Yes to more sand
Cry a river to bring life to the desert.
Petrichor is disgustingly small along with Bayda harbor
Bro was trolling hard during the fontaine section 😭
LEAKS
For 4.6, Petrichor is not on a "majestic waterfall" and is on a little island, the hole in the middle is actually an entire fontaine expansion, with only the island and petrichor, its actually way underwhelming than i thought it was gonna be. Bayda harbour is on the north shore of sumeru jungle and is just 2 houses with a dock like in mondstadt, we do get somewhat of a sumeru expansion like a new area in the desert for Cyno's 2nd story quest. But we do get remuria, it looks somewhat like the big hotel on penacony in golden hour from hsr. very cool.
The ditto hole (hole between fontaine and sumeru, next to liyue) is so funny and yet it’s nothing what people actually thought it was going to be 😭😭
Spoilers:
Petrichor and the main capitol of Remuria right?
Same I expected those to be a lot further north lmao
We need everything in the expansions.
1:32 That was my exactly thought since Chenyu Valley was released, there's need to be some kind of channel through Mondstadt and Snezhnaya to connect with the other portion of water, either is at the same level or not. Maybe this like-river channel goes up from the East to the Northwest and then went down from that point to the Southwest. Also, it's make sense that the three nations frontiers are placed in water, so the developers won't lose their minds trying to make it right.
In inazuma we still have not seen the celestial nail. We know it around the area of Tsurumi island and maybe like with the chasm we can join an expedition team and go under the island to find it
Seeing this after the Bayda harbour leaks is just..
you are awesome you know that !
I think it would be cool if we could see the Purple Sea, which connects Sumeru and Inazuma. Apparently, it has been corrupted, and maybe we could find the Electro dragon here
This is awesome
Inazuma needs an expansion. Maybe give it a few new islands. We need eleven islands, so we can call it "Inazuma Eleven".
Welp this kinda aged poorly XD
I dunno why but I'm having chills thinking the void century of One Piece is somewhat similar to the Khaenri'ah.
The dark sea and dandelion sea are on my top waiting list
I think we will get Petrichor, to the south of Fontaine, as well as Remuria ruins very soon.
Mt Yaojun (baizhu snake mountain) is not in the game yet, so a north expansion of liyue is possible
It's important not to build yourself up about future possibilities, otherwise you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Having expectations regularly leads to disappointment because it will rarely go the way you envision it, even if it ends up good. I wasn't bothered by the empty coast in 4.6 because I wasn't expecting there to be much of a coast to speak of. Would it have been better if there were just no traversable land? I ask that question genuinely and without sarcasm.
I NEED a new Island in Inazuma! ⚡️
i think there is dandelion sea cus it couldve be written in fairytale format to protect the info from the irminsul wiping also i once saw fanmade map of teyvat and in that map there was place called sonnets landing basicly where moon fell grew paradise among smoldering cliffs id like for dandelion sea to be like this(or it couldve be connected to hexenzirkel)
i think snezhnaya starts right above stormterror's lair as there are fatui patroling the northern entrance to the lair
I dont think we will see more about the dark sea until we are ready to fight against Celestia. So it would be like the second to last expansion region or the first sub part of a final region leading to a fight against Celestia.
I have used a glitch to explore out of bounds a while ago, and I would love for it to become an official feature of the game, maybe one day. There is not much to be hidden besides empty landscapes, I hope they just remove the paimon barrier entirely, although I doubt they ever will. I can only hope there will be a lore reason or something.
This is just the "teyvat chapter" it's possible that we could leave teyvat via the dark sea.
So I was recommended this vid when 4.6 dropped which dealt with the prediction at 7:57
Since at the time of sending this comment, 4.6 is out, I believe it is safe for me to say this. The prediction for Bayda Harbour and Petrichor are on spot, though Petrichor’s actual spot is a bit south. I’m just glad they got rid of the empty space in between… though the lands around Bayda might need a lil bit more stuff but otherwise is cool.
However, the new Bayda Harbour is around Green Lush Lands and, at the current, there are no references to Khaenri’ah. Also, in the 4.6 update, another region is located under Petrichor, but I’ll let the people see it for themselves (it is worth it)
Hoping to climb Mont Esus soon, though!
NOTE: This comment doesn't have much to do with the actual video, it's just a related topic.
I'm honestly a little tired of people who complain about additions to existing nations. Y'all do realize that Hoyoverse already has the entire map planned out in some sense, right? These additions were going to happen whether you like it or not... and it's not like the game hasn't been alluding to these unreleased regions the whole time. In short, complaining about an addition that has been planned since the conception of its nation is a little strange and honestly doesn't take into account how long it takes to develop these additions.
Not saying every addition has been good, just that this is what Hoyoverse has planned for us and it's not our place to complain about additions to, say, the desert when that's what the developers have been planning for since the start.
Critiquing the quality of existing additions is valid, but complaining that they exist is not.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just tired of Genshin fans treating the people working hard at Hoyoverse like they aren't people. That's what this is.
Also, GOD I really want Sucrose to play a big role in the Dandelion Sea questline if it ends up being a thing. After all, it is said that foxes can enter the Dandelion Sea, and Sucrose is oddly fox-like. I'm probably just coping hard though lol
Completely agree. Honestly my favorite part about map expansions is adding to already existing regions, especially if it's filling in holes or finally giving us coastlines! One of the reasons I love Chenyu Vale is cuz it helped fill in a gap and one of the reasons I love the third desert area is cuz it gave us coastline! The fact that we can see Sumeru's southern coastline but can't walk or sail along side it is very annoying to me.
@@noox13 YES. What's the point of a port you can't even use? They'll definitely be adding more onto Sumeru eventually though, judging by that gap between Fontaine, Liyue, and Sumeru. I've heard it's a port of sorts and I'm actually pretty excited for it because new islands are a possibility! Also, sailing from Inazuma or Fontaine to Sumeru would be SO COOL but it probably won't happen for a while. Also, we'll probably have to deal with sea monsters if they add on to Port Ormos, judging by what the lighthouse guard there says about the ocean. Maybe there will even be a questline related to hunting down that missing boat he mentioned? Someone needs to talk about this, lol.
Also ALSO, when Dornman Port releases, there's a high chance we'll be meeting Eula or Beidou there based on the new event. Maybe we'll even get a second Eula story quest or another Beidou hangout. That would be awesome!
@@catdownthestreet
Yeah!
Everytime I see Liyue Harbor and Ritou I get sad thinking about how I can't sail to Port Ormos or vice versa!
It's been interesting learning about the sea monsters in the ocean. Hopefully in future coastline/ocean expansion when Port Ormos gets linerated we'll encounter some.
I'm very interested to see what Dornman Port turns out to be but we probably won't see that for a very long time. Would great to see more of Eula there and learn more about the stolen statue!
I love expansions (except Dragonspine as that freezing mechanic is annoying af and as a Canadian I find it mind boggling how we don’t get to go buy winter clothing to solve the problem but I’m not complaining about the addition, I just still have grievances over how damn difficult and annoying that region is when winter clothing should be able to solve that). World building is something I love and just seeing more and learning more about Teyvat is a lot of fun. The satisfaction when a hole in the map is filled either from an update or unlocking a statue of the seven is great and I cannot wait to see all of Teyvat in some years. The journey is so fun and as long as the game isn’t too big and laggy, they can add as much world as they want and I’m here for it. I cannot wait for that hole in the middle of the map to be filled as that’s probably the weirdest of all the holes in the map.
@@crammothy I completely understand your frustration with Dragonspine! I honestly love it there but I still don't like the Sheer Cold mechanic. I just hope Snezhnaya isn't that bad... Anyways. It's so exciting to be able to see everywhere you can go on the map. That's an aspect of exploration I didn't mention in my comment that truly makes traveling worth it.
We need a region or port which connects inazuma to rest of the nations since it is all alone in a small cluster of islands. I know that you can go from mondstadt to inazuma and even liyue but what about sumeru and fontaine? It looks like the people have to pass through all the way from liyue to reach inazuma. Theory : the dark sea is a test subject area or research area for the fauti and abyss. We could get an underground city like enkanomiya in fontaine
I need to see Rosaria's village that was razed by bandits.
One big are that is mentioned from the very beginning is Mare Jivari. I think this is going to be either somewhere North towards Snezhnaya or somewhere near Natlan's area, because this area is mentioned to be very harsh. But who knows, time will tell.
It's in Natlan, which is why I didn't mention it in this video.
IM SOOOOOO CURIOUS ABOUT THE DARK SEA
i honestly don't like mondstadt specifically but it would be awesome to see some new expansion to it finally
good video
Electro sovereign is beneath Inazuma so there could be a room for underground Inazuman expansion?? Or even underwater like in Fontaine?
Still waiting for a hydro claymore user. Could be rad if their burst applies hydro to their weapon like diluc and lets you send out hydro slashes from range :)
WE NEED INAZUMA EXPANSION
They mentioned the port in mondstadt A LOT in the most recent event
we also didnt got dainsleifs quest in inazuma weve got mondstadt liyues chasm and sumeru but there isnt anything with inazuma despite people of khaenriah being in enkanomiya in the past and abyss order being there
