- Border patrol but make it genshin? A new day, a brand new inspector. Her duty, guarantee that the trade routes make sense.
Liyue proving once again though that it has the most competent government honestly. (the bar is on the ground)

The trade routes are simple, they wait for a server day reset and they get restocked by hoyoverse
Genshin impact characters dont know a third party exist
@@sophiagonzales8974 huh What they don't?? I thought every hoyoverse characters knows they're in a game like Sampo in HSR
@@sophiagonzales8974 obviously they think its Celestia DUH (this is a joke!)
I love it how genshin pays so much attention to the smallest things that most people don't even know (like how every liyue characters constellations aligns with the waypoints in the liyue map) but as soon as we get to normal human things that real people do in real life and it should be pretty easy, nah bro it's the most unreal thing in genshin that it doesn't even make sense
Woah really? Is there any CZcams video that showcases this? (Liyue constellations)
Yeah not asking for some big harbor. Just adding some more piers or connecting roads would work. Like some roads just end even though they could be easily connected.
@@Sh4rkzz._ Ashikai referenced it in one of her videos, but IIRC, it was a reddit post that went into further detail
You know what they say, "Teyvat has its own laws"
If I remember correctly, then it wasn't only liuye characters but most characters cons could be represented with waypoints of their homeland.
I think they work by trading tbh
No way
Omg why did I not think of that 😔
@@Beerevity Idk… but it’s a pretty wild concept, im not sure how i came up with it tbh

It's so funny to me that Genshin will have you go through quests that permanently alter your game world in HUGE ways like removing the weather from islands in Inazuma, or even sinking an ENTIRE TOWER in Fontaine, but yet we don't have any normal quests to just clear up stuff like the trade route between Mondstadt and Liyue. Like come on Genshin. The closest thing I feel like we've had to that so far was the daily commission to rebuild the bridge in Wangshu Inn. I just want more quests like that.
Instead, we're doing mundane quests like being a delivery person or moving objects 10 feet because the quest initiator is incapable of doing it themselves 😭
Agree
We clear that stuff, but for some reason Tsarevitch doesn't move from his place!
@@June-yq7jy I think it's because he's actually a spy, and getting stuck in there is just an excuse.
I want a damn quest that require you to go trading, and no, no teleporting allow at all.
You have to walk from Fontaine to liyue, ride using boats. Oh and restrict yourself from using character like Furina.
From there, traveller and the other people follow can start talking in the middle of walking on how to improve, and soon the world changes with bigger reading ports
I just wanna see the world changes in front of my eyes.
We should remember that the Teyvat the characters live in and the Teyvat that we get to play in are completely different size and location wise. For example hotels don't have any rooms at all or Layla's village that's 3 days away from Sumeru city to the north when there's isn't such a place what's o ever . Also the abandoned hospital in the desert that's literally just one small room.
Also like how did it take us like a day or smth to get from Liyue to Inazuma how come Kirara can just go throughout the entire Teyvat in a day multiple times and like how NPC often takes us from one side of the country to the other as if it's just a light walk (that happens a lot in Liyue's archon and character story quests like Baizhu)
"teyvat has its own laws" 😭
I am so upset they gave us the northern section of Sumeru without giving us her village (Layla is my fave character). :(
It's not that bad except the that the game is marketed as open world, and most games these days know that open world shouldn't just mean expansive places. Implying the lived-in aspect but not translating it well (like having paths and roads that end randomly or don't lead where they should, etc) just highlight how empty it is. Combine that with the fact there aren't really many cities within the nations, just the main cities, and it feels even emptier.
@@zlatomirchokov896 Nothing drives me more insane than how inconsistent genshin quests are with how long it takes to travel from place to place
@@spyrothetimelordEh, I mean genshin does the whole open world thing a lot better than many other games. Look at the open world for pokemon SV for example , so many empty places with barely anything to do except catch a pokemon you've already seen before
holy shit guys she found another job

Soon she will wear a badge of each of them on her cloths!
I have been waiting for this for so long! Ever since I discovered Baida Habor by sailing from Fontaine to there, I saw that some Fontain merchants had the same idea, and wondered how the trade works for other areas. Also, if there are so many traders and merchants, why do the trade routes have such little protection? Traveling in Teyvat without a vision is a miracle. These npcs deserve visions because they're the ones with true ambition.
The game recognizes the lack of protection with the amount of quests we have to do to protect the merchants.
Couldn't Mora be a Vision?
Traveling Teyvat as a tourist seems okay, but getting your goods anywhere as a merchant seems to be quite an adventure.
Most likely, most merchants don't actually go far - the same batch of goods just changes hands a whole lot while getting from one place to another.
Shinobu's sweating because our girl here is slowly becoming another certified master of everything.
They would be good friends!
ur videos feed my insatiable hunger for hyperanalysing the architectural structure of teyvat
I've been doing it for years on my own and thought I was alone, the one time I looked up if anyone else felt the same I just found a reddit thread where someone complained about the city layout of Fontaine and all the comments were telling them they were thinking too much and it was just a game
@@liz8333 SAME, but with a friend
@@liz8333y'all, i thought i am the only one
Same coz Genshin is the only game that I was immersed with how life would it actually be in there and in the architectural structure which are based on our real world.
"Somehow the most random things make the most sense." -Some random person
I liked it when Bee came in and said it's trading time and traded all over the place
Beerebius, truly one of the movies of all time
idea: how about u rate the mayor cities, like if they got everything to supply the citizens , enough houses to live in, how friendly the citizens are, how the government works, if they are outsider friendly. You could maybe even include some small villages, like how to they get through everyday life
To have a feel on what the "actual" scale of teyvat you can see it in arle domain. The building where you're fighting her are like 3x much larger and the scenery looks way bigger too. Even then you can still argue that teyvat is much bigger than it
The world building is a bit sad when you look into it like this
It’s always the first way I explore, and pisses me off every time💀
I know right? At least HoYo put in ports so it makes an iota of sense, but still
I see it in a different way: the fact that one can even make such a video, shows that the developers put a lot of work into their worldbuilding.
@@kotarouinugami1745 fair, fair. But it is still a bit sad when you're being told from the start of the game that trade from Fontaine to liyue comes from chenyu vale and then the map comes out and it makes no sense
And bayda harbor is even worse. Like imagine, dornman port, mondstat big trade port, which we all know about, comes out and it has no lore no nothing, just a tiny little port with not even a proper land connection to mondstat city
It feels like people sat and did the world building on how the entire interaction between nations thing is gonna work and then the map designers just kinda forgot almost
It's been irritating me for a few years, got used to it. But, just yesterday, a new event started, and the npc there says that Fontaine used to have a powerful navy before it got destroyed in a war. Um, I'm probably missing something... But what war? The archon war? The Khaenria cataclysm? Which happened 500 years ago? Maybe Remuria's demise whenever that happened? And they couldn't build a new navy after that?
Maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe they don't need a navy, but I think Fontainians are well aware of the Fatui and a potential threat from the north, and all they got is local gendarmerie?
That's just a thing that works in the real world but not in Genshin
In that potion brewing event, Beidou talked about bringing her ship to Fontaine or Chenyu Vale
And I already was way too confused when I heard that, I mean..
...how the heck can you fit that big of a ship through those tiny rivers and streams in Chenyu Vale? Like, HOW?!?!
simple, the world in lore is ofc much bigger than what we actually get for obvious reasons lol
Its secretly s flying ship, like the one Wriohsly built.
Her ship can't even reach Wangshu Inn and she wants to bring them to Chenyu Vale?
Beidou's ship doesnt have a Paimon saying " why dont we explore the area ahead of us later", so she can go out of bounds and sail through the unknown.
@@AashishPrajapati-nr2ox LMAO
I think for watatsumi theyre still technically in development since theyve been isolated for years (just did heizous hangout revently Lol and basically watatsumi has been kind of smuggling ?? Goods for a bit while they wait for an official decree to be signed so imports arent as expensive for them anymore) but other than that this vid was so fun to watch LOL it made my brain hurt thinking of all the detours they'd have to make for trade ...
yes. Watatsumi so far has been providing for itself with little trade. Watatsumi while at a little odds with Shogunate, are still considered a part of Inazuma nation. So they cannot initiate international trade by themselves even if they have the route for that. This could also be the reason why watatsumi might not be interested in trade within inazuma as well. They are hardly on good terms with Shogunate, and you usually don't trade in decent amounts where relations are that sour. Sure some merchants go in and out, but that can hardly be called "trade". So it would make sense why they did not seem necessary to have a well developed port. Not to mention, Watatsumi is not rich by any means.
If they cannot initiate international trade, their Pearls and corals are meaningless. They do not produce enough crops to have an agricultural trade. The only thing going for them could be fishing trade, but we know that Shogunate and Watatsumi fishing borders are pretty close. infact watatsumi's fisher men often fish in Narukami waters(part of her story quest)...if you have to fish in someone else's waters then what are you even trading with them? So watatsumi island is relatively poor(sadly). The resistance was already on the verge of collapse. It was their sheer rage for Shogunate, Gorou/Kokomi's leadership, Yashiro commissions help, and well also Fatui's help, that kept them going. So yes, now is the time when they can hope to actually do some legit trading now that they are on better terms with Narukami. But even with that, i doubt what can they even offer Shogunate in exchange?
My bet is, they will establish themselves as pearl and coral producers in Ritou under the Inazuman international trade(as states cannot usually bypass National laws regarding trade), the Shogunate will receive portion of their earning and on the other hand, the Watatsumi traders will have buyers buying through Ritou's channels and trade routes protected by the shogunate when in their territory.
i only hope that when the anime releases it has a truly realist word. Like the game is just an oversimplified look of teyvat and it really is wayyyyy more big and complex
Me and some friends tried to make the teyvat tradinh route on stream once and we reached similar conclusions to yours lmao
Id love to see an event of Teyvat Trades through the nations it would be hela fun
in fontaine city there is a elevator near the teleport in the side of the city, that leads to the main area of the city, but the water there is quite shallow so idk, but i think is the main way to npcs to leave the court outside of the aquabuses
I know that, it's at the western wing of the city, right? I always use that to travel to and from Poisson when I feel like not using teleporters
what makes the liyue trade route even messier is the trade route along the Bishui river was apparently CLOSED for some unspecified time for an unspecified reason according to Ganyu's voice-line about Keqing. that's just. hanging out there with no explanation.
At this point Beerevity is a trade inspector,road inspector,guard inspector,house inspector,water inspector,weather inspector,mountain inspector,Monster inspector,Aranara inspector,ship inspector,inspector inspector.
I would love the idea of a video discussing if teyvat had a highway / train system
Fontaine has
@@loreyxillumina not when they have at least one line down indefinitely bc mobs/monsters, a magical kaboom, or a supernatural event cut it clean in twain bruh. nyc metro alr sucks hot ass but fontaines system makes me cry
Aight boys, Time to predict what the next video will be!
I predict she's going to trap herself in Inazuma
I love how some places don't even have roads connecting them and are somehow still busy harbors like how? Why are they still even used if you can't access then by land?
IRL in medieval times it was not unheard of to use only rivers for transport. Because building decent roads was beyond the abilities of the fractured countries..
@@kotarouinugami1745 I'm talking about stuff like Bayda Harbor that has no connection to any place in Sumeru at all and the only road is extremely dangerous but it's still somehow frequented
@@Seami-bz6bt I have to agree about Bayda Harbor. Either there is a lot of transportation by balloons and porters, or the road connection was severed recently. By all logic, it should have proper connection to Sumeru City.
I think they just needed more excitement in their lives and made all routes extremely difficult to navigate so they won't bore to death
Can you see how safe monstad's houses are i want to get a house there
Some of them borrow or buy the aircraft from fontaine for fast and safety exploration maybe?
Ooh, i compleatly forgot about the fontainian airships!
When I learned about Dornan Port I thought: "Interesting, there's no obvious road to the north, how are they going to connect it?"
Two years later Bayda harbor releases: "Ooooohh that's how!" (they won't connect it at all)
Also when Sumeru: "Alright, let's ask people how they get to Sumeru and hit the road", however game: "nope, let's do it the adventurer way: we are going to find hole in the middle of restricted and crawl through it!"
Wooh, Shrek 2 Game music as bgm :)
I am an irl transport planner watching this on my lunch. I am unsure if this video really counts as a break but hey at least someone else is as passionate about this as I am!
5:50 in navia story quest, that area is indeed supposed to be the main hub for boat transport from the court of fontaine to puaso and presumably everywhere else in fontaine.
I think it all makes sense when you remember Teyvat is supposed to be canonically much bigger, confirmed by the devs themselves, but since it's a game they must do it smaller, since canonically Liyue and Mondstant are afar by kilometers but in game obviously that's not the case
You know what they say...
"Teyvat has it's own laws"
Loving these inspection videos. Also a fun fact, there is a reason why glaze Lillies and dandelion seeds are sold so expensively. Glaze Lillies are apparently at the brink of extinction and they’re very rare to find (excluding the fact that you can literally farm them every 3 days in qingce village). And inazuma was under the sokaku decree so any goods from outside nation were sold at an unreasonably high price, guess that lady never reduced the price even after the decree ended. Should talk to the higher organisation.
2:45
Fun fact this guys existence aligns well with Noelles character story about a guy trying to derail mondstats wine industry who leaves because he was terrified of Noelles niceness because he thought she eas onto him
I totally forgot about tatarasuna
This makes me wish for a map revamp once most of the nations get released. Like just making it look nicer and more believable especially in these trade routes and roads. Probably too much work since they already made the regions, but it would be a cool update late into the game maybe.
Ahh yes, when the rpg world game environments being more gestural than literal representations of their worlds starts showing/falling apart 😄
I really want to know how a true scale Teyvat would look like: For example, xinqiu mentioned in the Inazuma festival event that from the time they manage to see the Narukami shrine to the time they reached the port was a day and a half.
That would explain why dandelion seeds, a product that can rot over time, would be so expensive in Inazuma (if i remember correctly dandelions only grow in Mondstadt)
And then there is the shipyard problem when you realise that only Liyue Harbor and the Fortress of Meropide have them.
Im suddenly getting flashbacks to bloodborne lore when I see these things like abandoned areas that seem to have been or needed to be more populated.
7:00 WELCOME TO BAYDA HARBOR GOOD STRANGERS 🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯
Dang, they really poured effort into that game
im so glad that i'm not the only one who notices these things. every time a new land expansion update drops, I like to make my way to the new area the way an NPC hypothetically would. You can imagine my confusion at how people get to yilong wharf from liyue harbor 😭
You should make a video reviewing how up up code the restaurants/food selling places are!
I second this!
i know i have an addiction to this game if im watching an analysis on its trading routes
From my understanding, Tevyat have some technology of airship. We can look in daily quest in Monstadt, Liyue, Inazuma and random encounters in Sumeru that some merchant use small airlift zeppelin to carry merchandhise to other area in map
still uses land routes
Yeah, it seems that in really rough roads, transport is by adventurer-guarded balloon, and that drives the prices up greatly.
fountaine have a big airship like final fantasy
I made a map about trade routes on r/Genshin_Lore. What bugged me is the lack of an obvious route from Lumidouce Harbor to the Court of Fontaine... My best guess was it goes through the Fountain of Lucine to get to the aquabus terminal.
Fontaine imo is the most egregious. The "canal lock" for to and from Fontaine is too small for larger ships. Not to mention the tower area is actually taken up by a elevator for people and not for the locks themselves.
And yea I noticed how Fontaine is completely walled off from the outside and there are basically no other connection but the aquabus which mean people have to go to take circuitous routes to go to their properties outside.
The other factor here is there are no roads from the opera or harbors to said rural areas making navigation difficult. Maybe by boat? But the lack of docks also further disconnect the islands from each other.
I also really loved they included public transit in the game. But there are many issues. For one, the route is poorly designed. They should extend the Navia line past Marcotte and down to Lumidouce harbor as their end stop. They can also repair the south wing so they can run through service in Fontaine to Elynas.
So Navia line would go from Elynas to Fontaine, to Marcotte, and end at Lumidouce. This will allow the Melusines to travel from Elynas to Fontaine for work. This will also connect their busiest harbor to both the capital city and a major tourist attraction(opera epiclese)
Lastly, I would realign the Clementine line to avoid going through a mountain as that is unnecessary construction expense but since it already exists its already sunk cost. Secondly, the alignment would be further west and a station added for Poisson. Since the line goes over southern Elynas, a station there for the Melusines and the couple human settlements there too would be nice.
Additionally, the aquaducts are too narrow and only support one boat at a time limiting frequency which gets worse with longer routes. They can add a section in the middle with double width known as a passing track or passing lane. This will allow a boat for each direction and pass each other at the middle doubling frequency. You can add 3 passing segments(two of which can coincide with stations) for 4 boats. Instead of double tracking, passing tracks would be much cheaper.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized that Fontaine's layout makes no sense. I like to imagine it's bigger than it actually is and getting to the opera house would be easier than a single aquabus. It looks wildly inconvenient
I have always been fascinated by the politics of Teyvat. I want a quest where Ayato, Ninguang, Neuvillete, Jean and Cyno(?) all sit down and have one big meeting with all the arguments and sass of the political meetings. They discuss trade routes, port exports and imports etc
As much flak the Aquabus lines understandably catch in these videos, the system is younger than Navia, making it incredibly new by the standards of a world where everything else is 500+ years old. It's also unfinished, since it was constructed by a private mafioso, and it was distrupted after his affair with a Champion Duelist. The story quest for Navia actually touches on the issues, and now that the Spina has recovered from Callas' death, she says she wants to start adding more stations to each line.
Will Arlechinno use her connections with the Spina to invest in the project and gain influence in Fontaine? Maybe.
I would like to add that there are two daily quests connected to the fertiliser salesman in Inazuma, and the second one is when you mess up the receipt and it grows a bunch of mushrooms. So it seems to work
"Teyvat has its own laws" Dang, the Trading definitely have their own laws😔
They need to start doing air trade at this point, on water and land trade between Liyue and Fontaine seems hard to accomplish with the current world design😅. I wonder what kind of good they would sell, I'm guessing liyue exports ore, sumeru exports spices and books, Fontaine exports marine life and electronic devices, Mondstadt exports flowers?!, And Inazuma exports yae manga. I think Inazuma and sumeru would have high tourism, inazuma bcs its wonderful islands whilst sumeru bcs people around teyvat come to study in Academia.
Oh.. I forgot Mondstadt has Diluc winery
To add, Liyue exports their silk since the silk flower grows there. Xinqiu's bio offhandedly mentions his family has ties to the trade and an Inazuman tailor randomly mentions that she gets her silks for her kimonos from Liyue
If it comes down to international trading routes, the only feasible thing to me is a whole maritime line that surrounds Teyvat up to Chenyu Vale, either making Shenznaya a bit of an isolated land with it's own port. So ships have to sail all the way north from Fontaine, over Chenyu Vale, passing Shneznaya port and Dornman up in the north of Mondstadt, to then travel southwards, passing Dragonspine, to either redirect to Inazuma, Liyue Harbor, or pass Liyue to either go to Ormos and Natlan's respective port somewhere southwest. All smaller scale commerce is transported on land through Air Slime balloons or foot merchants that use sumpter beasts, or if we go back to the potion making event, they transport it themselves. (Crazy as frick).
Sumeru must get everything through Port Ormos, then thr capital gets supplied through small shipments. Commerce between Liyue and Chenyu is also probably done like that. Stone Gate is nothing but a tourism attraction that, at most, sees small merchants moving small cargo.
And no other islands but Narukami will probably see development, since there's a crazy lot happening on all other islands (Nobody likes Watatsumi but themselves, so they can do whatever the frick they want.)
That's the most reasonable conclusion I can come up with, until Hoyo decides to butcher the northern Teyvat continent even further and decides that, nope, more random mountains between countries up to Shneznaya.
1:36 wangshu inn isn't an inn, it's restaurant. It’s a translation issue but I won’t call it mistranslation. Just the regular occurrences where you can’t find the perfect counterpart in another language/culture. So, Wanshu Inn in Chinese is 望舒客栈. 望舒= Wangshu, which is a legendary sword’s name. 客栈 is translated as inn because I guess it’s the closest we can get. In ancient China,客栈 is typically a restaurant at road for travelers to eat and rest. You can imagine it as an ancient Chinese motel, except for better quality of food, drinks and beds.
It is said that the Aquabus line for Lumidouce Harbor was cancelled because the main investor(Callas) died. And they are at least trying to reboot the project. Why they didn't make this line first is still a mystery though.
Right, it should have been the first line they made.
Love your video concepts and actually makes me wonder how things Genshin works or relates to our real world life practices.
You've done the road inspection and briefly looked at abandoned places around Teyvat. It would be a cool idea if you visit and rank what you think are the creepiest and most dangerous places in Teyvat.
i love your genshin videos so so much, it makes me so immersed into teyvat and it reminds me of why i truly love this silly lil game
Love this kind of videos hehe. Regarding the topic of getting out of Fotaine's city through only the aquabuses, there's actually an elevator inside the city that leaves you outside the city skirts/wall, however you probably didn't find it because is in an inconvenient place, you have to climb into the water channels above the city (you can climb through the building in which Neuvilette lives or through the aquabuses station). You have to walk on the water channels that go to the west of the city, once you are there, walk along the whole line that's above the west side of the city and in one pilar with doors that will open (if I remember correctly) an interaction option will pop to go down.
Note: it's still quite an inconvenient way to transport goods into the city, not to mention that probably no-one besides the traveller or someone shady would use it because your goods and yourself would probably get soaked and if it's hard to get up there, it would also be hard to get back down into the city.
Video suggestion: how feasible and easy it would be to live in a region. WHERE IS ALL THE FOOD COMING FROM???
my favourite geographist in genshin
I kiinda remember someone mentioning there was supposed to be an aquabus to the Lumidouce Harbor... if that wasn't a fanon ofc. Anyway, it looks like Callas' ambitions were quite an obstacle for some people so after his death all aquabus ways construction just stopped.
It funny how fontaine back then possesed a huge navy while at the same time located inland
I CAUGHT A BEEREVITY VIDEO EARLY WOOAAAHAH!!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one fretting about the questionable routes/pathways 😅
Ever since they introduced Chenyu Vale and its surrounding various sea levels, it confused me how The Alcor (Beidou's ship) managed to go to Lumidouce from what I assume is Liyue Harbor based on Kazuha's b-day letter. Fontaine is also a big question mark due to its aquabus system and the lack of docks in places that don't have a station.
My favorate thing to do: applying irl logic into games
With how dangerous Teyvat seems to be to wander around, it seems to me that most people just pay adventurers or some other group for protection if they need to trade outside of highly patrolled areas.
They're super limited when it comes to infrastructure, due to the game having to be compatible with mobile devices. Considering that, its pretty generous.
Your videos always make my day, I love them!
I made a comment on your roads make no sense video like a month ago about trade routes, so happy to see you made a video about it as well now
As an economist, I love this. But it's also obvious that most goods trade in Teyvat is domestic, not international. Transport costs are clearly very high. Trade financing and insurance also seems hard to come by. It seems like an international trade ship arriving (even at Liyue Harbour) would probably be an uncommon event.
Most of the nations have a basically rural subsistence economy, so there isn't much value-added going on anywhere that would warrant much trade. Wine, a few specialist minerals... Fontainian industry seems to rely on energy that's exclusively available in Fontaine. The Academia doesn't seem to actually do anything at all. And the other nations are pre-industrial.
So most trade in Teyvat is probably between villages and the nearest city, plus some local market days and occasional ships arriving via Liyue. In Inazuma, the "international merchant's guild" seems to be mainly Fontanians trying to invest and trade locally using foreign technology rather than selling imported goods, but they don't seem to be very successful.
Even domestic trade routes are a mess. Liyue and Mondstadt are the closest thing there. Inazuma, Sumeru, and Mondstadt are just ???
I think with the dangers between trade routes and just roads in general are getting monopolized by the aventurers guild
Like we can see that some actually asked adventurers to guide and slay monsters along the way
It’s always sunny clip in the beginning, love it
Love your videos
Started watching when you had your first few videos, can’t wait to see you get thousands and thousands of views and subscribers, and I’m excited to watch new videos
I always look forward to your videos! Keep up the great work
This is definitely something that bugged me a lot ever since Chenyu Vale and Bayda Harbor were released hahaha
This is genuinely more interesting to me than khaenriah lore
this is my favorite kind of worldbuilding analyzation
I love your videos so much❤You’re editing style, sense of humor and voice are awesome to listen to! Can’t wait to see your channel grow 🥰
when a video you wouldn't normally think off actually goes hard, nice covering each topics of how they actually work since some had me baffled at one point
Your content is pure gold
as a mondstadt fan i've been waiting for Dornman Port for YEARS come on hoyo
Beerevity I love your videos!! Keep doing what you're doing, I really enjoy them :>
7:24 Aranaras only appear to people when they are kids, the traveler is a exception because of his/hers control over the elements of Teyvat, so unless they have a child conduct trade, which wouldn't be a good look on them but is entirely possible (looking at Dori), I'm not sure if that is likely to ever happen.
(Just a little disclaimer, this is only what I could gather from small parts of the Aranara quest stating that information and also from Nahida's second quest, I haven't checked all the lore behind the Aranaras and I certainly do not intend to do or watch that quest from beginning to end to find something that would disprove what I said, that said, I am certainly open for discussions on that, if I am wrong then I will acknowledge it)
But, great video overall, it is really interesting for Genshin to prioritize constalations matching the waypoint of liyue for example to the travel destination of their regular npcs, and I know that planning everything to the minimal details like the paths of the npcs is not on their plans for the game, but for a game that puts a lot of emphasis on details most of the times it is a bit entreating that the roads of Teyvat would be something that would be overlooked by the developers.
But for a game such as genshin which releases in patches and is not completely finished I must also take into consideration the developers' point of view, maybe they were rushed to finish the region and couldn't plan out the roads, maybe they just didn't think that would be that important to connect them in a coherent way to ensure that the npcs have a clear path to the most important places of Teyvat, maybe there were cut plans for some kind of alternative map expansion that never saw the light of day because of tight schedules or anything that wouldn't allow that expansion to come, it's all just guesses we have when it comes to the development side of things, but it's still a side I would like to take into consideration.
Indubitably
I feel like with some of the more isolated towns trade isn't needed as much because they are self sufficient due to their smaller population
mostly talking about inazuma as you can see this in the tsurumi island quests
This seems a bit random, but I wanna ask how to pronounce your name. Im assuming its Bee as in the animal and revity as in remedy but with a v. Is that correct? (english isnt my first language, sorry if im being kinda stupid)

I love this series! Maybe you could go over housing next, or talk about the farming industry
I love puzzling and figuring out this kind of weird niche stuff. After the recent expansions of Fontaine, I figured that it would be almost impossible for boats to make it directly from Lumidouce to Fontaine City cus there's a whopping great big shelf that runs under the water near to the little dock on the side of the opera house. It makes the water really shallow before becoming deep again on the other side. So unless they're unloading off one boat and onto another, there seems no direct thru route via the water. Plus, if if they did load and unload halfway, there's no facility or machinery in which to do so. The best I could work out is they might have to take goods over land for a while then ride the aquabus from the opera house to the city that way, and hope they don't get raided by hoarders
your videos are always such a joy to watch!! it would be cool if you could inspect each of the cities for how disabled-friendly they are 🤔
One year later: Hoyo has seen your videos and taken your feedback to heart, fixing all the issues you raised.
Sikes
Love the commentary. Just a few suggestions for the next geographical video. Would be great to identify where the villages are and the route the supposed trade would occur on the map with something like a circle or dot plus a line or dotted lines. Really enjoyed this video though
I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
If you do Lynette's hangout they do explain that one part of Fontaine where theres a lift that seems to have nothing is where they import stuff from Chenyu.
WOOWW i never knew that guy worked for Pantalone before this, if this line was in the game from the start then thats crazy, thanks for the cool detail!
finally someone asking the REAL questions (cut to me months ago trying to figure out a direct route from inazuma to fontaine to make that one part of the scaramouche/wanderer and kaedehara ancestor storyline with dottore make sense)
I love the thunbnail for this one
Observations like these really tickles my imagination thinking about how a "realistic" 1:1 scale of Teyvat would actually look like. So much of Teyvat is clearly omitted if not forgotten by devs, and these amazing videos clearly show that
Your videos reminds me of any austin's, love it
