In terms of narrative, this might be the greatest cutscene in Genshin history.
indeed!
0:21 goes hard
Agreed 👍
My favorite cutscene so far
I just hope the next regions can at least maintain or surpass it..
I knew since the beginning her bratty attitude was hiding something, but i couldn't imagine such a deep lore behind. She deserves the world
Deserves the world, not the pedo simps that thirst for her.
She deserves better than that.
@@trollking6315they wouldn't be pedos if they simp for her
@@trollking6315small woman don’t exist apparently
Your life is everything. You serve all purpose. You should treat yourself now. And give yourself a piece of that oxygen, in ozone layer, that’s covered up so that we can breathe inside this blue trapped bubble. Because what am I here for? To worship you! Love yourself! I mean that with a hundred percent with a thousand percent.
@@trollking6315 The most amazing cmt I've ever seen. I'm very happy that the community has people like you❤
Focalors final dance feels so dreamy and sad at the same time.
Despite her using Furina to deceive the people of Fontaine and Neuvillete, she did it all to protect them from the punishment of Heavenly Principles.
Look at it this way, Focalors did hurt herself, because Furina is also Focalors too but only in human form with all the flaws…
im reminded with the black swan in the swan lake ballet. dreamy and beautiful, but sad at the same time
It’s cruel she deceived her human-self, but she also prisoners herself in that machine for 500 years just to find a way to kill her godhood.
I respect them both, and I do wish Furina will have a better future.
It's more sad when you think about Nahida's theory that the heavenly principles is probably asleep or incapacitated. So there was no reason for the deception because if the HP were asleep then they wouldn't even be watching. A lot of events have happened already that warranted an interference from them, but still silence, which means Nahida is correct. The HP is probably incapacitated or asleep at the moment and doesn't know anything currently happening in Teyvat.
@@hikari9262The thing is, even if the Heavenly Principles is incapacitated or asleep, the Prophecy will still happen no matter what, since it’s already written in the Irminsul. It wasn’t just the HP that she was trying to deceive. She was deceiving Fate itself.
I love how this song contains all the motifs from the original fontaine song but incorporates and remixes it with furinas. it only gets better after going to neuvilette's theme AHHH. I could talk about this for hours and all the musical symbolisms but imma leave it and enjoy the song
WAIT I WANNA HEAR ESP CAN YOU TELL WHATS THE THEME AT AROUND 1:40 WHEN FURINA APPEARS TO WHEN NEUVILLETTE’S THEME START
it sounds almost like a blend of the two themes together - the strings playing once again call back to fontaines theme but with more sadness given that the nation had just lost their god. The silence followed by the tone shift in neuvillette’s theme indicates him mourning focalor’s death but also his strengthening resolve to save the people of fontaine
@@bookbutterfly6613it's the beginning and ending of "Fontaine", it's also in "The final feast"
@@riceboy3528 xdd
Get yer rear end back here and go into the WHOLE damn symbolism cause I /love/ that shit.
She's not the first one to dance in game but this one hit me differently😭. The great Hydro Archon, just like the great Dendro Archon, sacrificed for her people and yet the people do not even know that.
If Nilou couldn't reach me at all, oh Foçalors did. This was magnificent
the dance cutscenes are all super pretty but this one is on another level
@@isegeese Agreed, both Ayaka and Nilou dances are graceful and elegant. But Focalors, I honestly can't find a word to describe it, maybe divine?
Well for Nilou's dance it represents the love of people to Nahida their new archon meanwhile Focalors dance is like her last dance or moment to enjoy her hobby before her death.
@@beeforueverI think, "Climactic" is the better word.
As the final waltz was the last expression of self before the culmination of the events that take place execute both her and the players expectations.
Because damn, this was just amazing.
The transition to Neuvillette's theme gives me goosebumps every time
It feels like a boss music
Nope I got chills throughout the whole song
I can feel Neuvilette’s frustration, sadness, and rage from that scene. Goddamn. It’s so good.
Neuvi's theme, but u can hear the pain and grief in it
RIGHTTT
I haven't seen many people mention just how impactful it was to see that even with Neuvillette's power regained and after stopping the rain, it continued to fall. The amount of grief that Neuvillette must have had felt to either, let the rain fall, or not actually be able to stop it, is heartbreaking. It's such a small detail but it brought me to tears.
Actually the rain stopped because he used his power to grant fontain people real human blood and he let the rain fall after that
@@The_original_one this
He actually cried too. The close-up scene where he hyperventilated had teardrop go down his chin.
Im sure i wasnt the only one saying hydro dragon dont cry
@@The_original_one Nope still raining
One of the most impactful scenes in the game 😢
It truly Genshin impacted me
Guess you can say you felt genshin's "impact"

What makes me sad about all of this is, Furina saved the Whole nation with her performance and at the end she didn't even receive a "thanks". the only one who thanked her was none other than her own self (Focalors). no one deserved Furina she's the greatest :")
If this history to be talked bye everyone, then the purpose of deceiving celestia will lose its meaning. So it’s kinda tragic but make sense
i think paimon, the traveler and neuvillete also must've thanked her. But yeah its still very sad the people of Fontaine, the reason why she was determined to save fontaine, are still on edge with her/hate her, cuz they know nothing of her sacrifice.
I think Furina is a heroine and like the most of heros they don't have the thanks that deserve
Rukkhadevata also never got a thanks for sacrificing herself to save her people and the only one who can thank her would be Traveler
This is just the fate of being a true hero
Not just her, Focalors, Rukkhadevata and Makoto all died without their people knowing they even exist. The Fontaine thought that Focalors is Furina, the Irminsul erase Rukkhadevata, and Ei was considered as Baal all this time.
What really gets me is that in the end, both Focalors and Furina chose the people of Fontaine over their own wishes… even though their wishes weren’t even auch big requests to begin with, and they were things their people took for granted every day.
Focalors just wanted to be human - to be with others, chat over sweets, laugh, have walks along the beach, to fall in love. She just wanted to live a normal life.
Furina just wanted to have a friend. She just wanted someone to listen to her, to understand her, she just wanted to be like a regular person for one moment, with the ability to open up and pour her heart out, just once after hundreds of years of being alone, and keeping everything a secret.
Both of them wanted so little, but they wanted it so bad… and they chose to give it all up.
Focalors became the hydro archon, locked away in a mechanism created to end her life. And after all that time, all she had was a single conversation and a single dance… a dance to her own execution. She died, while dreaming about what it could’ve been.
Furina accepted her role as an archon, and dedicated herself to keeping the secret, at the cost of her own life. She was the prisoner of the role she played, paranoid of making a mistake and longing for company. And when the time came, and she met someone who she could’ve trusted, who was probably safe to confide in… and in the end, she decided to reject that offer. She wanted to open up so badly, but the slim chance that this could end up ruining everything and kill everyone was too much for her… and she chose to continue suffering by herself, forever missing this one in a lifetime chance. She smiled on, as she continued to play her role she ao desperately wanted to stop playing.
Both of them sentenced themselves.
Focalors sentenced herself to death, and Furina sentenced herself to pain and loneliness. All for the people.
And although in the end Furina’s wish somewhat came true, as everyone was saved and she was finally freed… her name is now tainted as a fake, and she’ll never be able to tell anyone why she did any of this, and what she experienced.
She’s free, she can now live, but she must live with the wounds of hundreds of years, without a word.
I didn’t think anything could make me love that obnoxious, spoiled brat we met at the beginning. But knowing what she endured, how little she wanted, and how she still sacrificed her last opportunity to get just a moment of relief for her people… I must admit, I like her. Both her and Focalors are true archons, who gave their all to save their people.
People of fontaine knows the truth after neuvillette told focalor and furina situation. The maison also acknowledged neuvillette’s awakening as the hydro sovereign dragon and they know neuvillette never lie. In Furina’s story quest when the she and other opera actors did 'the little oceanid’ the spectator excited when Furina does the last song meaning they still see Furina as an idol and symbol of fontaine
@@Darts05 when?
@@Darts05 not true. the ppl dont know about focalors and furina at all. they only know furina isnt an archon anymore
"I, Iudex Neuvillette, hereby declare... People of Fontaine, your sins are forgiven". What a powerful statement, it gives me goosebumps. Titanic middle finger to Celestia.
Just as it happenned with "Of Riddles, Of Wonders" after the AQ, this music reached a whole new emotional level.
He was like : I'm Back Bitches! Deal with it!
@@ar_greyheart471 Not only that, we could feel the suffer in his words, and expressions. Maybe because Focalors, maybe other reasons.
@@pandazilla2470Man crying internally so hard it was a massive rainstorm that day too.
Hell, he's audibly struggling not to cry and failed.
Neuvilette : Guess who got back his power, bitcheeessss! Yes you guessed it right, Celestia morons, IT'S ME!
what he sais before tho "yor punishment is way too cruel"
I hope Focalors finds peace in her afterlife. And I hope Furina finds her place home, after what Furina has done for five centuries well even though she suffers from endless solitude. Furina deserves to be appreciated for her efforts and she deserves her happiness.
Focalors and Furina are the best strongest girl in Genshin Impact.
And i hope traveler learns cause he is a bitch in this Archon quest
100% agree with you
im not sure if focalors would even have an afterlife since focalors' soul is in furina, she said so herself. the focalors part was only the divinity and nothing else, no body, no soul. ig divinity+memories from her time as non-human
@@Ahrutrue,but we can hope. Imagine Makoto,Rhuhkadevvata and Focalors in the afterlife just watching over their respective Archons. (I know Furina isn't technically an Archon but she is in our hearts.)
The fact that a f2p game can have a story, music, gameplay etc 10 times better then 70+ euros games its insane to me...
no wonder its a super popular game...Mihoyo really did a great job
Thank your local whales and casual spenders for making such quality possible in a "free" game
its not free

1:49 litteral translation:
"Its been tough for you, Furina
pray, live blissfuly as a human, for that is what I wished for"
0:36 to 1:07 there's something about this part that's so magical to me. Not only is the dance mesmerising but the music was oddly soothing.
I refer to it as the lullaby of heartache. It’s hauntingly beautiful but makes my chest hurt whenever I hear it
@@Missupersoupthats a good term for it
as if focalors is trying to soothe us when she's about to die. In this scene, it's probably directly to neuvillette as he's the one witnessing it. "Hydro dragon, hydro dragon, don't cry."
Yes
My favourite part honestly
What's even more haunting is that all the while that Focalors was talking to Neuvilette, the guillotine followed her every step above, waiting to come down on her. You can see the glowing shadow of the guillotine under her as she walks around on the stage in the cutscenes.
This song can be divided in 5 major segments in my opinion.
1. 0:00 - 0:35 realisation
2. 0:35 - 1:12 relief
3. 1:12 - 2:09 grief
4. 2:09 - 2:35 heroism
5. 2:35 - 2:54 conclusion
1. Realisation.
It starts with silence. The music slowly picks uo as the realisation truly dawns upon Traveler, Furina, Neuvillette and us as the viewers.
We start to realise what had been going on all this time.
2. Relief
This is specific to Furina. Like she was told "all will end in a dramatic trial", she knew this was it. Finally, relief came, and she must've felt somewhat joyous knowing her 500 uears of suffering came to an end
3. Grief
Focalors is dead, greatly shattering Neuvillette's heart.
More importantly, after initial joy, Furina's emotions bursted to the surface. All her pain, suffering, fear, anxiety, grief, regret and guilt bursted away. She is finally free from this torment, yet she cannot do anything but feel hopeless, weak and sad.
4. Heroism
Neuvillette realised his role in Focalors' plan. He knows exactly what he must do, and he does it. He declares the people of Fontaine innocent of their crimes, and saves them.
5. Conclusion
The Masquerade of the guilty comes to an end. The years of lies, suffering, and pain are over. For Fontaine, for Furina, for Neuvillette. The story concludes, much like the dramatic trial Focalors spoke of, the very first day of her becoming an archon.
Fontaine's archon quest by far was the best narrative i've ever seen in Genshin. And it's also the most emotional that it literally made me ball my eyes out so much at the end. Not to mention the OSTs being unimaginably good.
Focalors and Furina might be one if not the most well written character in the game post Archon Quest. I knew when I fell in love with Furina even before she made her appearance in the game she'd be by far my most favourite character, and after the AQ, she definitely became that character, and by an absolute long shot.
when she first appeared she's already best archon
@@lucustwyatt1960 Indeed, truly a magnificent performance by yours truly
The only cutscene that almost made me cry even Rukkhadevata's farewell didn't enough to make me this sad, I also love every scene that includes Focalors and Neuvillette especially when Focalors says "Hydro dragon, Hydro dragon don't cry" That really hits me.
Rukkhadevata's backstory shown on a more personal level would be so great to see. heck, even Nahida's suffering is only shown in depth outside the game. if Rukkhadevata's and Nahida's sacrifice and suffering have similar executions (pun not intended) to Focalors and Furina in terms of storytelling then no doubt we will be just as sad.
@@Yen-jw1ls Rukkhadevata/Nahida's suffering was able to make all of the Genshin community cry even without the 3rd party lore dumps like the comics twisting the knife. They also didnt rely on a bratty archetype fake out to get it done.
Is Focalor's death sad? Yes. Does it beat out Rukkhadevata's sacrifice? Absolutely not.
They also didnt have any Jesus archetypes like they did with Fontaine. Like I haven't seen a "guy hovering in the rain fighting to forgive the sins of mankind" trope since Neo in Matrix 3. Was a bit cringe.
@@trollking6315i feel like this is a bit more nitpicky
I'm the opposite actually, Though the 4.2 quest made me sad and stare endlessly at the ceiling for 2-3 hours, it didn't make me cry.
But with 3.2, I bawled my eyes out (I even cried myself to sleep by then).
Now, don't get me wrong. Both writings were good! Both conveyed the sadness and grief of Nahida and Furina
Both displayed the relief and regret of Rukkha and Focalors
I can't fully comprehend why 3.2 feels more impactful for me, but if I had to pinpoint it, there's just something heart wrenching seeing someone slowly dissappear before your eyes.
The part where Nahida and Rukkha hugged each other as the latter is litterally fading into existence is just...so painful.
And then they had to it us with Nahida not remembering anything about Rukkha at all while she's tearing up....that scene broke me even more...
Also, For Riddles for Wonders was a fantastic bg music for the scene....
@@Yen-jw1ls
Furina's case causes more impact because at least everything turned out well for Nahida.
She reached the position of archon, everyone venerates her and she is in her jovial archon years.
On the other hand, Furina's case did not end happily, but rather bittersweet.
500 years of life is too much for a human mind, for a god, not so much... in fact you notice this clearly when you don't see Nahida suffer for having been alive for 500 years but for other aspects.
Furina, after that sacrifice, did not wish for anything, she just went to live a life away from things while she healed her mental wounds and her depression, and even the description of her elemental ability when you read at the bottom tells you that on Wednesdays she suffers attacks of melancholy in solitude usually.
It gives people a feeling of injustice because Furina didn't get the big thing, she just wanted something humble like being able to live a normal life without any ounce of recognition for what she did.
Summary: Nahida everything turned out well, she doesn't even remember Rukka so it's complicated for her to feel bad, plus in essence Rukka and Nahida are also the same being (If you wonder what Nahida will be like when she matures you can always look at Rukka to know it).
The corrupt sages were expelled, Nahida adored and they gave her everything she deserves, however in Fontaine you are left with a bittersweet feeling, you want to have revenge on Celestia.
Comentarios
In my opinion, being able to choose how and why to die is one of the greatest achievements we can have. Focalros did it and when I saw this moment I felt more a sense of accomplishment and sacrificial victory than of sadness or tragedy.
The saddest part about Furina's efforts is that her centuries-long role in the biggest opera of Fontaine that no mortal should have the capacity to play went without applause. I thought no one remembering Rhukkadevata was sad enough, but until rectified, Furina will always be remembered as nothing but a fake and that makes me sadge.
They did NOT give her JUSTICE ironically
@@metal9076 Celestia is to be blamed for all the mess Fontaine has to go through.
at least in her story quest (SPOILERS) it seems to be general belief that she used up all her archon powers for the oratrice, the bluff that got believed as fact because the dissolving stopped, making people believe she did her archon duties in stopping it, and then passing the role to neuvillette
@@immortal_shrooms6757Yoi gotta do what you gotta do to calm the masses and thank god Fontainians are the dumbest people around cuz the last trial literally proved that Furina was a normal human that took the Hydro Archon's place
@@burnedpotatoes720Oceanid and Egeria is the one blamed if she not hear Ocanid wish to become humab this will not happen.
That neuvillette theme was holy and heroic tbh 😮
DONT MAKE ME CRY this scene was so sad but so pretty... i want to give furina a hug :(
neuvillette’s scene also made me goosebumps in this archon quest 😢
" A stage where everyone must play a part, mine a sad one. "
I immediately fell in love with the music of this cutscene, it's both somber and joyful; it's bittersweet. I spent the entire afternoon yesterday learning the chords and scale that was used here, it wasn't the same scale as on the Fontaine theme.
Could I please know the scale and the chords progression
@@zayyan7654
Sure, though I only tried learning the parts throughout Focalors's dance. G minor scale with mainly the chords Gm, Bb, Cm7, and D7. I tried using Daug and EbM7, F7, Gsus4 on the slower earlier parts of the piece to emphasize its somber feel.
Honestly I love how it starts with a mixture of Focalors' and Furina's themes and then dies down, literally, before being built back up into a hint of Neuvillette's theme. It does a wonderful job at thematically showing how Focalors time in charge of the narrative is done and now it's Neuvillette's time and he is the one that dictates how the song ends, it's a metaphorical passing of the torch.
Neuvillette's theme gives me chills every time I hear it in this cutscene...
I will never hear Fountaine's theme the same...
Just like they did with Riddles and Wonders in Sumeru...
"Ah, the hour of my execution is almost here. For the sinner, the curtain call has come. I know I may not sound it, but... Faced with death, I find myself a little afraid. Perhaps, this is one thing that both gods and humans have in common, heheh... Farewell, Neuvillette. I hope you've enjoyed the part you played these five hundred years."
The melody changing from Furina to Neuvillette is really amazing.
I love how calming Focalors’ theme is, despite the melancholic story behind it. I feel like the composers behind it managed that by putting Focalors’ love for the people of Fontaine to music. Almost something like a mother calming her child, telling them not to cry about her passing, but to live on and laugh each day. What a piece of art!
That ending shot with Neuvillette hanging in the sky… just hits different
It's so sad to think that both of her suffered so immensely.
I hope that Focalors/Furina found comfort in Neuvilette and Traveler being able to join them in their final performance.
2:06 the transition here and Neuvilette reprise theme made me cry I can really feel the emotion through the music 😭😭😭 I kept coming back to this
0:35 I love the little music box-esqe jingle, it's so cute yet you can still tell that there is something looming behind it.
It was nice to meet you Focalor, thank you for never giving up on your people. Rest well
I love how this has more views than the official cutscene
So ironic😂😂😂
0:35 breaks me every time. The end of a long journey, but still in the face of death she chooses to dance, to live to the fullest, to the melody of the people and the nation she worked so hard to save. It reminds me of NieR music tbh, except instead of failing, she succeeded, and it still hurt just as much
This is really a scene that makes us think a lot about focalors ,both in terms of music and her sacrifice, everything is very sad
This quest was the one I cried the most during… First to the sentence of Furina, then to Childe looking damaged, Furina unraveling her story, the sad reveal of her 18,000th scene, the unknown tears running down her face, the dance, the blade piercing through Focalor, Neuvillette’s sadness and almost rage for Justice, the people being saved. It touched some part of me that I didn’t know could be touched.
180.000*
"Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon. Don't cry."
And that's all the dam break loose.
This mission made me cry when i finished a few minutes ago😢 best cinematic at all❤
This is the best most amazing, captivating, heartbreaking moment in Genshin...I am still in an awe & tears...lets not talk about Furina's opera song...!!!!
I don't know how many times I have listened this today ❤ and still in tears
Without question this is the best cutscene genshin has produced so far. From the dance, to Neuvi's reaction to her death, to just how damn well Ray Chase delivered those lines once Neuvi was up in the air. If they ever top this, that will be a miracle.
i won't be surprised if that happens because goddamn they can do it! how the story progresses... probably we will see something really big in Snezhnaya
this cut scene seriously had me crying😭
Her willpower to act as Focalors every single day for 500 years is just incomprehensible, I can't imagine how lonely she felt
"You are a devious one, Focalors".
so pretty yet melancholic.
I'm crying for amazing story, song, characters and everything 😭😭😭😭😭
Seeing Fuirna crying on her thone, believing that she's failed after 500 years of torment and _completely_ shutting down as a result, just breaks me.
I can't get over how Fontaine's last chapter was inspired by the Bible. Wriothesley with this giant ship saving people from drowning like Noah. Focalors, who took the sins of Fontainians upon herself and died to save them like Jesus. I'm not overthinking, am I?
When I watched it for the first time, I was too shocked to even be sad, but now, the more I listen to it, the more I think about it, I can't stop crying.
To think that in the future, no one will remember her sacrafice. Neither Focalor's or Furina's. Only Nuevilette may remain, able to tell a story of once great Archon
(sorry for any spelling mistakes, english isn't my native language)
Focalors really lived up to her title as the hydro archon and made millions of genshin players cry
Made and still makes me shed a tear. Well done Tnbee 👍
0:36 I honestly want a full version of this version of the fontaine theme
Foçalors is now my favorite character of all of this world.
her ost here is melancholic yet hopeful :(
Even when I promised myself not to cry from a scene that I've already watched, this still hits so hard than my wife on our nights.
She doesn't want to die she wanted to live us human and experience human society but she has to die to protect them man this quest hit difference
Everyone talking about how they wanna hug Furina, meanwhile I just wanna give Neuvillette a hug :,(
No IM want close him to forget all his sad experience
they really missed the opportunity to animate Focalor hugging him before the execution 😢
It’s weird if she hug though, remember that she separates the humanity out, but hug is the most intimate expression of compassion in humanity, it will interrupt the character set up
Actually, it's both of them that needs a hug, or they could just hug each other
they should hug each other and we should hug them while they are hugging
both of them deserve it
The melody at the beginning is like Dimitri Shostakovich Waltz no. 2, and it’s kinda cool
0:43 Like she just mentioned at the beginning her face says it all "I'm afraid of death, but I must do it for my people. Let me feel 'human' for once with this dance". But the one that got me the most is when the story of Furina acting for 500 years non-stop. Literally not being herself, for the good of her people. I'm surprised that she can retain her sanity even in the aftermath.
It's just hit too close to home.
I bet mr. CEO is the one mocapping this dance too
indeed 😂
i was stunned in this aq, the visual, the story, the music, truly a masterpiece
从网易云音乐一路找到CZcams 老师您真的是神😭改编的非常好
Best archon quest i ever played, rip focalors 😭😔
May you rest in piece focalor 🤧
Damnn this songs literally hits hard, it's so hard that in my country, now is raining..
after this archon quest, every time i hear the fontaine ost its really makes me wanna cry for focalor😥
remember that scene of Furina and Arlecchino, when Furina said “I have my own ways and I’ve been working on it for all this time”, this girl isnt joking
This had me just speechless yet I felt hypnotized
god i love this song so much, so much emotion and sadness
Bro and the thought that she is now on her own struggling to learn even simple tasks like makeing pasta (only dish she know) after leaving palace when she could have most rare and luxorious sweets just like that... she deserves better. She deserves hug... It's bad day for the rain...
as a grown ass man, i bawled like a little girl
The only quest that made me cry in genshin
Not arguing the sheer will strength of Furina and how much she had to endure. Yet let's not diminish the scale of Focalor's care for the nation and what an impossible weight she had to carry on her shoulders for more than half a millenia.
She inherited the burden of responsibility for something she has not done.
Yet was not seeking the wayout for herself but started looking for any possibility to prevent the calamity. Later Furina spent centuries doing exactly the same.
Yet Focalors came to an understanding that only a masterful deceit culminating in her ultimate sacrifice could give her nation a chance.
Hence she started the preparations:
- initiated the construction of the Opera Epiclese (which - as I have noticed later from the opposite bank of the river - bears a clear resemblence of a guillotine - emphasizing the symbolism of the place)
- created the Oratrice in order to accumulate and store enough energy to be sufficient for the final act
- used a portion of the stored energy to power everything in Fontaine and bringing the nation to the forefront of all technological discoveries and breakthroughs in Teyvat
- invited Neuvillette to take role of the chief justice to intruduce him the human population of Fontaine as conflicted and contradicting as it is yet under Neuvillette's guidence ever moving to a just and rightful life
- separated her human part into a different entity creating a brand new human being in order to maintain the facade and fool Celestia;
hereby denying herself the very experience of humanity which was the origin of creation of human race from oceanids by Egeria
- for 500 years she was confined to the very place of her final dance separated from everyone and everything, day by day coming close to the finale
I have not finished all the quests in Fontaine yet - therefore it is purely a speculation - but possibly ousia and pneuma were infused into the land by Focalors as well preparing the nation to the moment when indemnitium will no longer be available.
With the above said - as much as I pity and admire Furina for her role in all the events for past 500 years. She at least got herself if not a happy end but full of hope for a brighter future resolution.
Yet Focalors sacrificed everything to save her nation.
Which is why from my perspective Archon of Justice delivered justice to everyone but herself...
I've cried when I heard this music again randomly in my yt page..
this is the only cutscene that made me cry. i was fully sobbing through this part of the quest
I can never never stop sobbing whenever I watch this
The scene at 1:40 with the music there just always brings brings me to tears man. Every time I hear that tune I'll think of this scene, engraved into my head..
I agree so much this part is so under looked. Especially FURINAS poor eyes barely staying open after enduring all that pain for 500 years.
yess!
do you know the name of this ost by any chance?
@@olehoole4418 No, but if I'd have to guess it would be called "Sinner's Finale", haven't seen it on spotify yet though
@@jumbokiller2178 yeah I’ve searched for any possible names and listened through every possible theme and nothing. Still ty for help ☺️
The stage was her domain
The stage became her final resting place 😢
Fontaine her people came to be because of Egeria, and now they are here to stay because of Focalors and Furina
this mix sends shivers down my spine, i absolutely love this.
There has been many sad stories/quests within the game, but this was the only one that made me bawl my eyes out. My throat even hurt from crying afterward. When Teppei I didn't shed a single tear, and yet for Focalor and for Furina.....
Oh I am waiting for the day we burst our way through Celestia, you know Neuvillete will be there, and he will take it personal.
Just finished the archon quest and gosh what an incredible theme. It sounds melancholic yet full of hope and it’s woven into Fontaine’s main theme.
If sad, why a banger?
For real though, this quest was a beautifully bittersweet masterpiece. Everyone suffered so much, and now they’ve been freed (some in less then ideal ways) but still free. 10/10 would cry again. Also pleaseeee come soon Furina! I just want my bbg😭
If the emotions i had was a nail's point resting above my chest, the music would be the hammer. This has to be, hands down the best archon quest for me.
So ironic, so tragic the character played by furina was for a time revered, yet nobody spectating knew the real role their archon had. No overwhelming applause nor praise sung for her sacrifice.
I dont know if it was explained but it makes me sadder still to know she will never get to see the fruits of her labour. To Address her people as her literal "people". Love this game man.
Best genshin’s quest ever
Whenever I feel sad, I listen to this music and it makes me cry even more
This Ost , this dance is so beautiful but bears the scars of an incurable sadness
And the final question should be: “HOW is Furina?” Not “WHERE is Furina?” But after her character story quest, it was good to see that she is slowly getting better, she no longer has to pretend to be this grandiose and enigmatic being, finding her purpose in life, and to be happy she has an ending one day, where she will be surrounded by those who she cares for and then in return where she concludes her play…
Hoyoverse never fails to amaze me with the songs, incredible how every year i think "this is it, that's the best song in the game" and every year they exceds my expectations. also, they cover every base, from playful and jamming musics to absolute depriment ballads to make me cry just hearing it like this one
this cutscene wss so that there aren't even enough words to describe it, it was emotional that left me with tears :') thanks for this cover!!
At this point of time, the death of Focalors, also means that there are now 6 archons, but Furina will be an honorary archon for all.
This cutscene brought me to tears. The story for this nation's ending was tragically wonderful.
What's painful is that focalors was actually innocent. Only the role that was given unto her came along with the "Original Sin". In other words, she died for the sins of others
Focalors the hydro jesus sacrificing themselves for the original sin
one of Fontaine's saddest songs & scene😭
why do i always start crying when she starts dancing 😭
so, this is the place where we all gather and cry together!
Definitely my favorite archon quest, comparing to other archon quests, Sumeru Quest left me beat by the time I finished it, the Inazuma, Mondstadt, and Liyue quest were good. The Fontaine quest however, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, it is the only time I wish there was a replay button to once again experience all of the emotion I went through
