@Kevin Clementell, as we see in the fight, wawes actually hit liyue so even tho we didnt see it, probably a lot of people died. If you want to you can watch the cutscene again.(after we beat childe) Zhongli L archon (My opinion)
@Muhammad Afzar Still...many Millelith died against the Fatui forces & when Osial showered them with Hydro-infused meteorites...only the Traveler was saved by Xiao, while many are dead...Zhongli didn't saved them.
If you arrange the event from the back to the front, it is the story we are playing. If you arrange the event as in the teaser, it's truly a nightmare. What a masterpiece!
Yep! Thought some of the meaning of the dreamscape is lost doing that. The dreamscape arranges those dreams very specifically, we get her ideal dream that she yearned for all along, then the day dream of her dreaming about the Traveler rescuing her and celebrating her birthday with her, then we get the reality, the Akedemiya found her and took her against her will to place her in a 'carriage' the final dream is reality, not a dream, where the silver bird flutters her wings within a cage she cannot ever hope to leave on her own power.
Damn Nahida really had the worst treatment compared to all the other archons. She just wanted the best for her people yet they just casted her aside. It makes me want to cry so much. 😭
@Seraphy Wang considering she is essentially just a child and was locked up by her own people who despise her very existence and outright act like she doesn't exist, i'd say she has had the toughest time. it's clear that the other archons have done a lot of questionable things themselves, whereas nahida is completely innocent
@Gerishimo The sages basically locked her up in the Sanctuary of Surasthana and everyone was busy grieving for the former Dendro Archon. The dark room symbolizes Nahida’s imprisonment in the Sanctuary that the sages placed her in.
please tell me what did the people of summeru do to Nahida 😭? why does she keep waking up and thinks its just a dream Why was the second last one all just dark- And why was the last one, her being stuck in a room
1:03 if you look closely during the second part of the dream, nahida already sensed that the dream would repeat itself. this time when the bird flew towards her, she extended her hand to the bird without a second thought, even while she was half-asleep.
Not only that, there’s a small scene in the 2nd loop where she looks kinda sad and the paper is crumpled (it’s after the bird lays on the bark) at 1:07
@walaa no. the first one she didn't expect the bird to come and her eyes already wide open. and the second one when she's still yawning, she already move her arm so the bird can just lay on her hand.
OKAY but the fact she repeats the same phrase over and over again but it has different meanings every time is an amazing representation of a samsara, super smart Hoyoverse!
@EXziLE you can search "genshin story trailer" and it gives a teaser on which places and a brief hint at what happens from prolog to after the 7th archon
@Rexhunter99 it has been confirmed that both siblings are "canon", aether is not any more canon than lumine is. there is literally nothing that makes him "canon" over her, promo materials mean absolutely nothing because its not like they're going to make versions for each sibling. apparently the only reason they used aether was because he wasn't as popular in china as lumine was. aether being "canon" is just simply you in denial with your own headcanon
@Rexhunter99 that is still just a headcanon, it’s not confirmed by hoyoverse or mihoyo explicitly. They never stated “ohh, Aether is the canon protagonist and Lumine is the canon abyss princess wooo” It’s just for consistency bro lmao
Aether: Come along Klee, we're going to play "War Crimes" in a place called Sumeru. Don't worry, at the end of it all we'll get you a neat buddy who likes plants! Won't that be neat?!
The subtitles translated to: 1:43 The Flower carriage rocked. Nahida Opened her eyes 1:47 Said she just dreamed a dream. 1:54 Dreamed of the day that she was born. 2:00 Dreamed of the day that the sages found her. 2:05 Alas, but where had Lord Rukkhadevata gone, to we all eager to meet her once again. 2:12 Realizing the Lord had perished, around her they gathered, to tears they were dashed. 2:20 In the end, Nahida was locked in by the devout. In the end, to no one could Nahida reach out. Edit: add timestamps
@bussy bussin' because the sages (grand sage included) hated lesser lord kusanali (aka nahida) so they believed that if they locked her up their greater lord rukkedevata would come back ORR because they want to use nahidas knowledge
It hurts me that people loathed her so much when she was first released/announced. She's so precious and I wish to give her cookies and positive affirmations and lots and lots of hugs
I was one of them although I didn’t go around and harass people who like the character I was disappointed in Mihoyo decision, the reason is that I don’t like loli(s) character and to have an archon have a child appearance is just weird for me But after seeing her trailer/gameplay/story all I can do is apologize since she ended up being one of my favorite character personality wise
People disliked her character design for a valid reason, but not her as a character in herself 😭 Also loathe is a pretty hard word, people just wanted for Mihoyo to change. Not to speak over POC since it's based on their culture, I think it's fine to dislike something about a characters design but it doesn't mean they hate them. Personally I like her character but just not her character design
Coming back to this after the 3.2 quest, it just hit me that in 1:10, in Nahida's eyes, those are her personal six Sages. A strategist Scribe, a Forest Ranger, the General Mahamatra, a performer, a mercenary and ofc us, a traveler
I'm...actually crying. She must've felt so lost. The way she started to realize something was very wrong. It showed how tired she was and how powerless she was to stop whatever was happening. Don't worry, Nahida. We'll get you out of there. 😔 I promise.😡
This was some very talented, controlled, and precise voice acting. It has really powerful storytelling even though the dialogue was repeating throughout the teaser
The sudden change of tone and the music gave me freakin chills. She probably was tormented from all those years. Idc no madder whatever if Nahida is good or bad. I’m still rolling for her.
This teaser is up there with both Zhong Li's and Raiden Shogun's character Demos as among the top produced by hoyoverse. The voice actress Kimberly did a phenomenal job here for projecting emotions so vastly different among the scenarios with the exact same words. I teared up on the final words "Happy birthday Nahida" as the emotions conveyed was so intense. Truly impressive work.
I’d watch a show with this level of animated quality and art style. It’s not like your traditional 2D animation… it seems they somewhat blended 2D/3D together… and it looks so smooth and amazing. Kinda like Arcane… 😮
Genshin anime series is already confirmed by Genshin developers a few months ago and the studio is UFOTABLE known as the studio that animated Demon slayer
Sometimes i think how when Nahida was first revealed/leaked, people irl did not like her at all. It makes me think of how this is similar to what happens in game, this is what the people of sumeru thought of her as well, casting this judgement over her when they first saw her.
@Tiramisu Cookie he was willing to sacrifice himself to protect others not threatening to off himself. I only mention this because mihoyo would absolutely have a twisted moment where someone threatens to end their own life to shake their good hearted protagonist(s)
I’m a grown man that has seen and been through a lot of things in life and yet this really tug at my heart strings. Beautifully sad, sadly beautiful … how it goes from joyful to so bleak and sad … those Akademiya that treat her so cruelly are just as bad as the Harbingers. I literally was getting choked up and wanted to jump into video to help her. Man … this game and its stories can invoke such emotions at times. We’ll save you Nahida … 😢😔😤
This is the most creative character teaser so far imo, the repeating lines and waking up made it feel like the sabzeruz samsara in the archon quest The whole change in artstyle, colours, music and nahida’s expression in the last dream gave me goosebumps and the ending made me wanna cry 😭
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
alright this is the literal BEST thing hoyoverse has ever made- and that means a lot since I’m bias to raiden's story lol I simply can’t explain how vibe it was- first I felt so calm and cozy, and by the 3rd replay, I was literally getting the chills like every 2 seconds (I still am while typing this) nahida's story is so sad……
I hope Hoyoverse will continue with this kind of twists in stories. Not only the graphics and gameplays are great, but the fact that we can really relate and understand what is happening and the fact that we are waiting for the next story is really awesome mind-blowing. Keep it up! 😁
if you didn't understand its like this: take 1:nahida had a dream of how she expected her birthday to be take 2:nahida had a dream of how her birthday would be take 3:nahida had a dream of how her birthday really went
This has to be the most darkest teaser so far, it really hit me because I can understand how she feels. You dream of your own birthday getting celebrated by your favourite people, but as it continues it gets lonelier and no one cares for it anymore.
I never thought repeating the same few lines could make for such an emotional story. You are coming home soon Nahida, and I will give you all the headpats you deserve
@Spiffyman 30 ahh alright then. cool cool. I think I'll give this game a shot once I'm done with all the other games I wanna play right now. and when I have more space to work with. So I can get all of the characters in my party at some point? Like I don't need to buy something that will get me more pulls to get the playable characters? and I assume the main story hasn't concluded yet, like, it'll end when mihoyo stops updating the game?
@The Bro Gamer 14082 Everything in the game is avalible for free. The only thing you should buy (if you want to buy anything that is) is the battle pass and daily login bonus since those provide lots of character level up materials and primo gems (currency used to buy extra gacha pulls) considering their price. But even without those, the game is still very fun, you’ll just need to be a bit more patient and grind a bit more to max out your characters. An archon is basically the god of a region, and as you progress through the main storyline you’ll be introduced to each of them. They will also come back in future banners so you can try and recruit them to your party. Starting the game now will give you an easy +200 hr of content to work through, so there’s no shortage of things to do at this point. Or you can ignore world exploration and side quests and just rush main story and get caught up much quicker, but even that will still take a few dozen hours.
I haven't been following genshin lore and have yet to play the game though I've considered it and this trailer may convince me outright. What is an archon? will I learn the answer if I play? and is there like dlc purchases for other stories in the game? Worried I wont understand everything since I started late.
Oh Archon, we've finally found you. The people can't wait to meet you. Everyone smiles as they are gathered for your arrival and you don't need to wave goodbye anymore caues you'll be travelling around Teyvat with us.
Just to explain: the events in the trailer are in reverse, first the sages found kusanali, then sumeru team rescued kusanali, and then the people of sumeru acknowladged kusanali as thr true god
Omg It was so wholesome at first until it went from real nightmare, the sadness in her voice is making my heart break. Nahida deserves better and Happy Birthday Nahida :((
The fact that this was uploaded on her birthday only proves how much the Mihoyo want to SELL her. They warned that they would cut some snotty plot for the sake of high sales, given that many people did not like her childish design.
@Ships Are Beautiful Thats why i said rather set in stone. It is not so unlikely that they decided to push her birthday 3 weeks since they had to push everything anyway. Since it was a major part of her trailer that had to be 100% intentional. And for marketing reasons it wouldnt be too hard to say "yeah her birthday is now on the 27th rather than the 6th."
Looking at this made me realize everything that Paimon and the Traveler had said during the beginning of the 2nd Part of the Archon Quest for Sumeru about how her birthday should've been spent. It makes me angry that the Academia is basically shutting her out because of their poor barbaric minds! They say they are the Sages of Wisdom, but in the end, they were the stupidest people in the whole of Sumeru! I can't wait and see what the new Archon Quest will bring for us!
How does this make me want to cry even if I already know the whole thing since at least three months Nahida is by far the character with the saddest story in my opinion
Out of all character teasers in Genshin, Nahida's teaser is the only one that totally made me interested in playing in Genshin again after becoming bored. Damn! This hurts so bad!
we'll soon hear her smile just gotta give the sages the same hell subaru natsuki felt using their own medicine (samsara) (subaru natsuki is an anime mc who cant die, everytime u kill him, he just wakes up in the past at a particular time and date (so i included him cause its just like samsara in genshin) and f- everytime he dies, its always in such a painful way)
Holy hell, that was really good! Gotta be one of my favorite character teasers. Really happy for her as she more excited with each and then the reality set in and wow. Great teaser guys!
This video is one of the reasons why, 5 months later, Nahida has basically never left my team (I mean, of course it certainly helps that she's brokenly OP too lol....). I just want her to see the world with me. She's been all across Sumeru, Inazuma, Liyue and Mondstadt, she's seen the Windblume and Lantern Rite Festivals, and soon, she'll get to see Fontaine too!
This is insane. They managed to combine a character's trailer, origin lore, and time it so it released on her actual birthday (October 27th.) The amount of layers they put into this amazing, and just shows how much Hoyoverse puts into their game. Good luck on your pulls, everyone!
Even at nerf 4 stars they nerf difficulty to make the illusions the character are good but exept yelan we have nothing "realy good". Yes nahida go in the train of top tier braindead unit but what exept more than just one shoting abyss even faster when you can duo then with 4 star and f2p weapon ez clap 36 stars
Notice how in the first three repetitions it says "I dreamed it was my birthday" but on the final repetition, it says "It was my birthday" without the "I dreamed" showing the horrifying reality.
500 birthdays spent in solitude. This is incredibly agonising. To think she still turned out so kind and compassionate, the doctor was right: she has incredible willpower.
@Reiscooker okay so I did some googling here and it seems that what happened was that Chinese was using a common metaphor that people who don't speak Chinese took way more seriously than it actually meant. Ruu probably just bled to death each time.
I'm surprised Nahida is still alive and still sane considering how crappy the treatment Genshin dishes against benevolent deities. Hopefully she would be spared from the same sad fate as her predecessor.
This is probably the saddest archon story we’ve had so far. Ei may have lost all of her friends and chose to live that 500 years in solitude in her personal realm, but Nahida was forced into solitude by the Akademiya and looked down on by Sumeru as lesser than since her birth and has had nothing but that dream from the same day to live over and over again. I can’t wait to give those arrogant sages and fatui what’s coming to them!
How could you Hoyoverse... you made me cry with this teaser. You've made me cry with the archon quests but never with teasers. Nahida is too adorable I cant watch her suffer like this
Groundhog day but heartwrenching Also in the fourth part, Nahida doesn't say she's dreamed about her birthday instead saying it was her birthday Does that mean Nahida always dream the first three part for 364 day and reawake right on her birthday just to say happy birthday?
500 years of being imprisoned, and yet Nahida never once showed a sign of erosion. She still kept her pure heart, truthfully wanting to protect Sumeru and its people. That's real strength right there.
@Ikikuro Kidenai Welp, with the 3.2 archon quest out. I'm happy to say that you're wrong and Nahida is not a regressed version of Rukkhadevatta. Turns out she was a branch of Irminsul and created nahida from it. XD
You can already feel the something dark was about to happen when you heard the same story repeat itself again a little too peaceful than the first time.
Well done Hoyoverse, amazing art style, just the right sounds and props to the Voice actor as well for brilliant performance. No denying her work was one of the crucial parts in achieving such a tease. 👏👏👏
@Doom Slayer you tell me to get a life when you talk about that chunchunmaru guys in the comment section, so i just tell you about my life in the comment section, and i think the comment fight should stop here, still got a lot of exam to do🐧
The Flower carriage rocked. Nahida Opened her eyes. Said she just dreamed a dream. Dreamed of the day that she was born. Dreamed of the day that the sages found her. Alas, but where had Lord Rukkhadevata gone, to we all eager to meet her once again. Realizing the Lord had perished, around her they gathered, to tears they were dashed. In the end, Nahida was locked in by the devout. In the end, to no one could Nahida reach out. The above content comes from the Tivat text of the last dream
If you listen closely you can hear sound of chains dragging through the floor on the 3rd dream when she's getting taken away by the sages I think it's an amazing detail
A meme from CN community: Zhongli: I solved my people's problem. Venti: My people solved my problem. Raiden Ei: My problem solved my people. Nahida: My problematic people solved me.
For people who didn't understand the message; The trailer emphazises Nahida's talking about the same dream over and over again, waking up in a flower carriage, the dream about how her birthday is being gorgeous and wholesome (like if what she just felt, was not a dream, but a daydream truth). But as the trailer keep repeating the same dream (samsara's loop), Nahida without changing the subject, changes her voice tone, showing different realities as if they were all just dreams, but keeps explaining the same old gorgeous dream. At the end, she no longer talks about a "dream", but just about her "reality", her "birthday", foreshadowing that all her days traped in the Sanctuary Of Surasthana are an endless samsara. I have no words to describe how I love this character's design and lore. We need to save her at all costs 😭
BTW, those are the subtitles they gave to Nahida while paraphrasing her 3rd dream: THE FLOWER CARRIAGE ROCKED, NAHIDA OPENED HER EYES SAID SHE JUST DREAMED A DREAM DREAMED OF THE DAY THAT SHE WAS BORN DREAMED OF THE DAY THAT THE SAGES FOUND HER ALAS BUT WHERE HAD LORD RUKKHADEVATA GONE TO, WE ALL EAGER TO MEET HER ONCE AGAIN REALIZING THE LORD HAD PERISHED, AROUND HER THEY GATHERED, TO TEARS THEY WERE DASHED IN THE END NAHIDA WAS LOCKED IN BY THE DEVOUT, IN THE END TO NO ONE COULD NAHIDA REACH OUT Basically confirming that the 3rd dream was actually what happened 500 years ago. It is amazingly well writed how similar and oposite at the same time are the subtitles to the happy dream.
@Surya Stefanus why would you open some link if you dont know where it'll actually take you. Do yourself a favor and dont give them a view if it does and just ignore and report as spam.
I have came back and i just wanna say: congratulations, we have freed nahida and saved sumeru. The sumeru arc is the best one so far. (nahida is my first 5050 win btw)
She sounded so tired when saying "happy birthday, Nahida.." You could tell she was sick of being trapped by the sages, she just wanted to be with her people
Well, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get her... Now, I'll be rolling for her and hoping 50/50 is on my f2p side. I want to go after Scaramouche and Dotorre and have her in my party so she can rescue her own damn self from their clutches.
From 1:38, there are some words at the bottom and they're saying: The flower carriage rocked, nahida opened her eyes. Saіd she just dreamed a dream. Dreamed of the day that she was born. Dreamed of the day that the sages found her. Alas, but where had lord Rukkhadevata gone to, we all eager to meet her once again. Realizing the lord had perished, Around her they gathered, to tears they were dashed. In the end, nahida was locked in by the devout. In the end, to no one could nahida reach out.
For those who completed the Sabzerub quest, those repeated lines will touch the deep down inside your heart, in just the second loop, when you realized... Can't hold my tear...
Zhongli: Cannot watch the common folk suffer.
Raiden Shogun: Makes common folk suffer.
Venti: I am common folk.
Nahida: I am suffer
Nahida needs a hug. Seriously.
@Kevin Clementell, as we see in the fight, wawes actually hit liyue so even tho we didnt see it, probably a lot of people died. If you want to you can watch the cutscene again.(after we beat childe)
Zhongli L archon
(My opinion)
@Ok Ko ?
Lmfao
@Muhammad Afzar Still...many Millelith died against the Fatui forces & when Osial showered them with Hydro-infused meteorites...only the Traveler was saved by Xiao, while many are dead...Zhongli didn't saved them.
If you arrange the event from the back to the front, it is the story we are playing. If you arrange the event as in the teaser, it's truly a nightmare. What a masterpiece!
wdym
Damn that's actually smart detail
Yep! Thought some of the meaning of the dreamscape is lost doing that.
The dreamscape arranges those dreams very specifically, we get her ideal dream that she yearned for all along, then the day dream of her dreaming about the Traveler rescuing her and celebrating her birthday with her, then we get the reality, the Akedemiya found her and took her against her will to place her in a 'carriage' the final dream is reality, not a dream, where the silver bird flutters her wings within a cage she cannot ever hope to leave on her own power.

@Seraphy Wang considering she is essentially just a child and was locked up by her own people who despise her very existence and outright act like she doesn't exist, i'd say she has had the toughest time. it's clear that the other archons have done a lot of questionable things themselves, whereas nahida is completely innocent
@Gerishimo Yw
@The Wanderer thank you for the explanation. Though thats actually so sad-
@Gerishimo The sages basically locked her up in the Sanctuary of Surasthana and everyone was busy grieving for the former Dendro Archon. The dark room symbolizes Nahida’s imprisonment in the Sanctuary that the sages placed her in.
please tell me what did the people of summeru do to Nahida 😭?
why does she keep waking up and thinks its just a dream
Why was the second last one all just dark-
And why was the last one, her being stuck in a room
The way the creators created this is...just amazing. Literally, four repetitions, with the last two darker...amazing
1:03 if you look closely during the second part of the dream, nahida already sensed that the dream would repeat itself. this time when the bird flew towards her, she extended her hand to the bird without a second thought, even while she was half-asleep.
if theres a video about all small details in this game it would be more than 2 hours
Not only that, there’s a small scene in the 2nd loop where she looks kinda sad and the paper is crumpled (it’s after the bird lays on the bark) at 1:07
The details in this game are amazing, even official media have little details in them.
:0 you’re right!!!
@walaa no. the first one she didn't expect the bird to come and her eyes already wide open. and the second one when she's still yawning, she already move her arm so the bird can just lay on her hand.
OKAY but the fact she repeats the same phrase over and over again but it has different meanings every time is an amazing representation of a samsara, super smart Hoyoverse!
@Nahida realTRUEEEE
the only thing they're not smart is with representation lol
@biggus riggus thanks
@EXziLE you can search "genshin story trailer" and it gives a teaser on which places and a brief hint at what happens from prolog to after the 7th archon
@SweetBabyRays O i see, its like script of 10k pages which isnt revealed to anyone except for hoyo employee, got it
Kusanali may be the smallest archon.. but we all know she has the biggest heart of them all.
She even told us about our brother/sister
@redacted no
Even ei agree with this
True only she and maybe venti cared about her people maybe bc I think he mostly cared about devolins freedom
the Cryo archon has the biggest heart by the lore
I am in love with the fact that she called us "the Knight of Flowers" ... kinda makes sense after the Arannara story.
@Rexhunter99 it has been confirmed that both siblings are "canon", aether is not any more canon than lumine is. there is literally nothing that makes him "canon" over her, promo materials mean absolutely nothing because its not like they're going to make versions for each sibling. apparently the only reason they used aether was because he wasn't as popular in china as lumine was. aether being "canon" is just simply you in denial with your own headcanon
@Rexhunter99 that is still just a headcanon, it’s not confirmed by hoyoverse or mihoyo explicitly. They never stated “ohh, Aether is the canon protagonist and Lumine is the canon abyss princess wooo”
It’s just for consistency bro lmao
@Deathwing the Destroyer just explain , it's not too hard
@Carina Laurel Oh for the love of god, who appeared/represented “the knight of flowers” in this trailer; Aether or Lumine?
I don't think I've ever wanted to hurt someone this bad. We need to save her at all costs (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
If it makes you feel better, they left the grand sage alone with Cyno. He got what he deserved.
@Atlas3060 Me, a Klee main, reading this:
M Y T I M E H A S C O M E
Aether: Come along Klee, we're going to play "War Crimes" in a place called Sumeru. Don't worry, at the end of it all we'll get you a neat buddy who likes plants! Won't that be neat?!
"The Sages and the Balladeer must be stopped...No matter the cost!"
*Plays The Touch*
@Shiny Goomy She means Scaramouche and the Academia duh
The subtitles translated to:
1:43 The Flower carriage rocked. Nahida Opened her eyes
1:47 Said she just dreamed a dream.
1:54 Dreamed of the day that she was born.
2:00 Dreamed of the day that the sages found her.
2:05 Alas, but where had Lord Rukkhadevata gone, to we all eager to meet her once again.
2:12 Realizing the Lord had perished, around her they gathered, to tears they were dashed.
2:20 In the end, Nahida was locked in by the devout. In the end, to no one could Nahida reach out.
Edit: add timestamps
@bussy bussin' because the sages (grand sage included) hated lesser lord kusanali (aka nahida) so they believed that if they locked her up their greater lord rukkedevata would come back ORR because they want to use nahidas knowledge
whoaaa thank youuu
Why does she got locked?
@Dung Dul You can find it on wiki, it's kinda same with the actual alphabet
@IDMSS yeah. That's why I want to know how to translate it
It hurts me that people loathed her so much when she was first released/announced. She's so precious and I wish to give her cookies and positive affirmations and lots and lots of hugs
@FishStickZ yeah it makes sense for her to be loli since she's supposed to be innocent
I was one of them although I didn’t go around and harass people who like the character I was disappointed in Mihoyo decision, the reason is that I don’t like loli(s) character and to have an archon have a child appearance is just weird for me
But after seeing her trailer/gameplay/story all I can do is apologize since she ended up being one of my favorite character personality wise
People disliked her character design for a valid reason, but not her as a character in herself 😭 Also loathe is a pretty hard word, people just wanted for Mihoyo to change. Not to speak over POC since it's based on their culture, I think it's fine to dislike something about a characters design but it doesn't mean they hate them. Personally I like her character but just not her character design
@Wales Rebel those people are literally clones of the grand sage
Mainly it was because of her not being darkskinned.
Coming back to this after the 3.2 quest, it just hit me that in 1:10, in Nahida's eyes, those are her personal six Sages. A strategist Scribe, a Forest Ranger, the General Mahamatra, a performer, a mercenary and ofc us, a traveler
6.5 Don't u dare forget Paimon.
If we don't get a subseruz festival as an event next year where Nahida is the happiest kid in the world I'm going to cry
We call Klee to decorat hoyoverse office. 😊
CORRECT! HOYO, FOCUS UP! We NEED this more than we need a Dehya buff.
+1
Yess
I'm...actually crying. She must've felt so lost. The way she started to realize something was very wrong. It showed how tired she was and how powerless she was to stop whatever was happening.
Don't worry, Nahida. We'll get you out of there. 😔
I promise.😡
job
💀
Too sad for a birthday video, but iconic for Nahida.
Mondstadt: "Live alongside the Archon"
Liyue: "Appraise the Archon"
Inazuma: "Fear the Archon"
Sumeru: "Archon who???"
Celestia: slave the archon
Fontane: judge the archon
@Belleville Natlan: "Fight that Archon"
Snezynaya :"Kill that Archon"
This was some very talented, controlled, and precise voice acting. It has really powerful storytelling even though the dialogue was repeating throughout the teaser
The sudden change of tone and the music gave me freakin chills. She probably was tormented from all those years. Idc no madder whatever if Nahida is good or bad. I’m still rolling for her.
For those who don’t know, today is *ACTUALLY* Nahida’s birthday (27th October). The real Sabzeruz Festival.
I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS NAHIDA??
Me and Nahida have the same birthday
@Aaron Pinto TYYY!
WAIT OL UP THAYS MY BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday Nahida.. and happy birthday to me too..
This teaser is up there with both Zhong Li's and Raiden Shogun's character Demos as among the top produced by hoyoverse. The voice actress Kimberly did a phenomenal job here for projecting emotions so vastly different among the scenarios with the exact same words. I teared up on the final words "Happy birthday Nahida" as the emotions conveyed was so intense. Truly impressive work.
The VA really did awesome job expressing the emotion with her voice. Everytime I rewatch it, I just start sobbing when she start the third narration
I’d watch a show with this level of animated quality and art style. It’s not like your traditional 2D animation… it seems they somewhat blended 2D/3D together… and it looks so smooth and amazing. Kinda like Arcane… 😮
Genshin anime series is already confirmed by Genshin developers a few months ago
and the studio is UFOTABLE known as the studio that animated Demon slayer
Its 2.5D
Sometimes i think how when Nahida was first revealed/leaked, people irl did not like her at all. It makes me think of how this is similar to what happens in game, this is what the people of sumeru thought of her as well, casting this judgement over her when they first saw her.
Everytime I repeat this video and hears her last lines... I always end up crying 😭😭😭
How the hell did you go from incredibly wholesome to downright heartbreaking in like 2 seconds
@griffy ye making fun of bots when your a bot
@Tiramisu Cookie he was willing to sacrifice himself to protect others not threatening to off himself. I only mention this because mihoyo would absolutely have a twisted moment where someone threatens to end their own life to shake their good hearted protagonist(s)
don't be surprised bot
BECAUSE THIS IS THE TRUE FACE OF MIHOYO
@A random person on the internet didnt xiao do that in perilous trail?
*This went from very wholesome to becoming a dark story.*
You have no goddamn idea...😢
whattt
wtf u doin here🤣🤣
wtf mia u doin here 😂
I’m a grown man that has seen and been through a lot of things in life and yet this really tug at my heart strings. Beautifully sad, sadly beautiful … how it goes from joyful to so bleak and sad … those Akademiya that treat her so cruelly are just as bad as the Harbingers. I literally was getting choked up and wanted to jump into video to help her. Man … this game and its stories can invoke such emotions at times. We’ll save you Nahida … 😢😔😤
*I also shoot a video about genshin impact😊*
This is how you tell a story, build a character and hit players emotionally in 2 minutes and 49 seconds.
First repetition: omg she's so cute!
Didn't know a teaser could make me feel so emotional
Contact me for your reward 🎊🎉
This is the most creative character teaser so far imo, the repeating lines and waking up made it feel like the sabzeruz samsara in the archon quest
The whole change in artstyle, colours, music and nahida’s expression in the last dream gave me goosebumps and the ending made me wanna cry 😭
@Carlo Gustavo Valenzuela Zepeda that means it gets better and better and I see nothing wrong with that
Every new teaser that comes, people Say the same xD
Made me actually cry 😢
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
alright this is the literal BEST thing hoyoverse has ever made- and that means a lot since I’m bias to raiden's story lol
I simply can’t explain how vibe it was- first I felt so calm and cozy, and by the 3rd replay, I was literally getting the chills like every 2 seconds (I still am while typing this)
nahida's story is so sad……
@Alex Melik clearly you paid no attention to the lore bro
I hope Hoyoverse will continue with this kind of twists in stories. Not only the graphics and gameplays are great, but the fact that we can really relate and understand what is happening and the fact that we are waiting for the next story is really awesome mind-blowing. Keep it up! 😁
How on earth did I feels tears when Nahida said at the 3rd part
“Oh Archon, We finally found you…”
Was incredibly painful
if you didn't understand its like this:
take 1:nahida had a dream of how she expected her birthday to be
take 2:nahida had a dream of how her birthday would be
take 3:nahida had a dream of how her birthday really went
This has to be the most darkest teaser so far, it really hit me because I can understand how she feels. You dream of your own birthday getting celebrated by your favourite people, but as it continues it gets lonelier and no one cares for it anymore.
I never thought repeating the same few lines could make for such an emotional story. You are coming home soon Nahida, and I will give you all the headpats you deserve
@Spiffyman 30 ahh alright then. cool cool. I think I'll give this game a shot once I'm done with all the other games I wanna play right now. and when I have more space to work with. So I can get all of the characters in my party at some point? Like I don't need to buy something that will get me more pulls to get the playable characters? and I assume the main story hasn't concluded yet, like, it'll end when mihoyo stops updating the game?
@The Bro Gamer 14082 Everything in the game is avalible for free. The only thing you should buy (if you want to buy anything that is) is the battle pass and daily login bonus since those provide lots of character level up materials and primo gems (currency used to buy extra gacha pulls) considering their price. But even without those, the game is still very fun, you’ll just need to be a bit more patient and grind a bit more to max out your characters. An archon is basically the god of a region, and as you progress through the main storyline you’ll be introduced to each of them. They will also come back in future banners so you can try and recruit them to your party. Starting the game now will give you an easy +200 hr of content to work through, so there’s no shortage of things to do at this point. Or you can ignore world exploration and side quests and just rush main story and get caught up much quicker, but even that will still take a few dozen hours.
I haven't been following genshin lore and have yet to play the game though I've considered it and this trailer may convince me outright. What is an archon? will I learn the answer if I play? and is there like dlc purchases for other stories in the game? Worried I wont understand everything since I started late.
I have guaranteed and 136 wishes. She is MINE!
Doesn't do anything with the storyline you're only kidding yourself
Oh Archon, we've finally found you. The people can't wait to meet you. Everyone smiles as they are gathered for your arrival and you don't need to wave goodbye anymore caues you'll be travelling around Teyvat with us.
WE MUST SAVE NAHIDA, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO US!
Just to explain: the events in the trailer are in reverse, first the sages found kusanali, then sumeru team rescued kusanali, and then the people of sumeru acknowladged kusanali as thr true god
Omg It was so wholesome at first until it went from real nightmare, the sadness in her voice is making my heart break. Nahida deserves better and Happy Birthday Nahida :((
we can resume this as:
1-what she wanted to happend
2-what happened at the end
3-what happened at first
The fact that this was uploaded on her birthday just proves how extra Mihoyo is with details like this.
They know for a fact that it's not or next year so they made this before we even get Nahida.
I love it.
The fact that this was uploaded on her birthday only proves how much the Mihoyo want to SELL her. They warned that they would cut some snotty plot for the sake of high sales, given that many people did not like her childish design.
Except for its players, birthday was a joke lolo
@Ships Are Beautiful Thats why i said rather set in stone. It is not so unlikely that they decided to push her birthday 3 weeks since they had to push everything anyway. Since it was a major part of her trailer that had to be 100% intentional. And for marketing reasons it wouldnt be too hard to say "yeah her birthday is now on the 27th rather than the 6th."
@Jomer Ruego to that i 100% agree!
Looking at this made me realize everything that Paimon and the Traveler had said during the beginning of the 2nd Part of the Archon Quest for Sumeru about how her birthday should've been spent. It makes me angry that the Academia is basically shutting her out because of their poor barbaric minds! They say they are the Sages of Wisdom, but in the end, they were the stupidest people in the whole of Sumeru! I can't wait and see what the new Archon Quest will bring for us!
Eu chorei.
Te prometo que você vai ser muito feliz Nahida, EU PROMETO!
How does this make me want to cry even if I already know the whole thing since at least three months
Nahida is by far the character with the saddest story in my opinion
Out of all character teasers in Genshin, Nahida's teaser is the only one that totally made me interested in playing in Genshin again after becoming bored. Damn! This hurts so bad!
man you could really hear the pain in her voice when she said “happy birthday nahida” at the end 😭
@BILLBOARD NEWS BLACKPINK 💩👎👎
*I also shoot a video about genshin impact😊*
*BLACKPINK 𝘙eleases New song "𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺" with hip-hop vibes : Listen*
we'll soon hear her smile
just gotta give the sages the same hell subaru natsuki felt using their own medicine (samsara)
(subaru natsuki is an anime mc who cant die, everytime u kill him, he just wakes up in the past at a particular time and date (so i included him cause its just like samsara in genshin)
and f- everytime he dies, its always in such a painful way)
@Radhey Krishna 🤫NO
Holy hell, that was really good! Gotta be one of my favorite character teasers. Really happy for her as she more excited with each and then the reality set in and wow. Great teaser guys!
Nahida deserves all the love she gets...
I just wished we could teach those sages a lesson tho...
This video is one of the reasons why, 5 months later, Nahida has basically never left my team (I mean, of course it certainly helps that she's brokenly OP too lol....). I just want her to see the world with me. She's been all across Sumeru, Inazuma, Liyue and Mondstadt, she's seen the Windblume and Lantern Rite Festivals, and soon, she'll get to see Fontaine too!
If you play the dreams in reverse, it shows the chronological story of Nahida's life. Especially now after finishing the archon quest.
This is insane. They managed to combine a character's trailer, origin lore, and time it so it released on her actual birthday (October 27th.) The amount of layers they put into this amazing, and just shows how much Hoyoverse puts into their game. Good luck on your pulls, everyone!
@Théo Lailheugue go if you want, it's your loss anyway.
Asides production quality Genshin as a game didn't really evolve much and it's been 2 years
here is the final video you have been waiting for
kzclip.org/video/f_TJ9KMAGQg/бейне.html
Even at nerf 4 stars they nerf difficulty to make the illusions the character are good but exept yelan we have nothing "realy good". Yes nahida go in the train of top tier braindead unit but what exept more than just one shoting abyss even faster when you can duo then with 4 star and f2p weapon ez clap 36 stars
Even the QoL demand are ignored i have no more enjoyement exept story quest and archon cause all the battle even the abyss 12 are made in 15 seconds
Notice how in the first three repetitions it says "I dreamed it was my birthday"
but on the final repetition, it says "It was my birthday" without the "I dreamed" showing the horrifying reality.
It’s so cute she referred to the traveler as the “Knight of Flowers”
she's coming home and i'm gonna treat her the best way i can😭 she deserves the world
As soon as I saw all of them running towards nahida in the field I literally lost it, I have never teared up so hard at a genshin teaser until now
500 birthdays spent in solitude. This is incredibly agonising. To think she still turned out so kind and compassionate, the doctor was right: she has incredible willpower.
@Tech Freak I am Chinese-
@Reiscooker okay so I did some googling here and it seems that what happened was that Chinese was using a common metaphor that people who don't speak Chinese took way more seriously than it actually meant. Ruu probably just bled to death each time.
@natsy nope Ei can switch with Raiden shogun always been. Not that 500 years
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
@avian she just wanted to touch grass, is that so much to ask of the Sages?
I'm surprised Nahida is still alive and still sane considering how crappy the treatment Genshin dishes against benevolent deities. Hopefully she would be spared from the same sad fate as her predecessor.
This is probably the saddest archon story we’ve had so far. Ei may have lost all of her friends and chose to live that 500 years in solitude in her personal realm, but Nahida was forced into solitude by the Akademiya and looked down on by Sumeru as lesser than since her birth and has had nothing but that dream from the same day to live over and over again. I can’t wait to give those arrogant sages and fatui what’s coming to them!
How could you Hoyoverse... you made me cry with this teaser.
You've made me cry with the archon quests but never with teasers.
Nahida is too adorable I cant watch her suffer like this
I'm a grown man, I cannot cry
And then I cried my eyes out
This is so creative with the repeating events symboling the samsaras also I’m crying because of her backstory help
Yes, illusion of samsara. Birth die forget and repeat. Until someone awake and look for path to escape the circle
@Muhammad nazir help what have I done
here is the final video you have been waiting for
kzclip.org/video/f_TJ9KMAGQg/бейне.html
@Muhammad nazir oof indeed
Oof comment full of bots
Groundhog day but heartwrenching
Also in the fourth part, Nahida doesn't say she's dreamed about her birthday instead saying it was her birthday
Does that mean Nahida always dream the first three part for 364 day and reawake right on her birthday just to say happy birthday?
wow....that went from super wholesome to super dark.
man..the animation and the storywriting are on another level
Wow, I think this is my favorite teaser yet. My dread kept building each time Nahida repeated her dream, felt like being back at the festival.
Glad I share a birthday with Nahida 💚
Hoyoverse I swear if we don't get an event that is an actual proper Subzeruz festival for Nahida's birthday, we will riot. She deserves one
500 years of being imprisoned, and yet Nahida never once showed a sign of erosion. She still kept her pure heart, truthfully wanting to protect Sumeru and its people.
That's real strength right there.
@Chibichibiichigo well, good to know! But if she's a branch of the tree of wisdom and life... The sages are gonna have a very bad time
@Ikikuro Kidenai Welp, with the 3.2 archon quest out. I'm happy to say that you're wrong and Nahida is not a regressed version of Rukkhadevatta. Turns out she was a branch of Irminsul and created nahida from it. XD
@Ikikuro Kidenai I think the reset counts though. It's like the immortal jellyfish
*BLACKPINK Ɽeleases New song "𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺" with hip-hop vibes : Listen*
@Chibichibiichigo is this true?
Her voice sounds so heartbroken and sorrowful, you really experience how Nahida felt as she was locked up on the day of her birth.
You can already feel the something dark was about to happen when you heard the same story repeat itself again a little too peaceful than the first time.
watching this again and crying bc why would they treat a child like this idc if it's an archon LOOK AT HER 😭😭
This teaser is absolutely incredible, amazing work
This gave me chills. Can't wait to finally set this sweet soul free so she can get the love she deserves
The sadness in her voice that slowly grows with each dream is heart breaking 🥹
🇧🇷🇰🇷
it was become more emotional each her wakes up... tried to count how many times she's been dreaming... so sad...
Also, don't forget to thank the individual who created those dialouges.
Here is the full clip explaining why dad left you: (Making fun of bots) kzclip.org/video/mCfYi7634rU/бейне.html
The Va did such a good job.
This went from extremely wholesome dreams to nightmares really fast... the last sad "happy birthday, nahida" had me balling my eyes out-
This is the most heartbreaking trailer for a character ever.
It's such a good video/storytellinh and it's destroying my heart whenever I look at iy
This was such a touching demo, the voice acting was amazing
Well done Hoyoverse, amazing art style, just the right sounds and props to the Voice actor as well for brilliant performance. No denying her work was one of the crucial parts in achieving such a tease. 👏👏👏
I paused all my quests and just waiting for Nahida to continue those quests... 215 wishes and counting just for her ❤️
I started crying when she said “Happy birthday, Nahida..” She’s so cares so much for her people and protects them while she’s trapped I feel so bad
@Grass Block why would I ever do that lol
@TheRealWanderer Please, don't make a skin from the Dendro Archon! That's cruel and psychopathic of you to kill anyone like that!
@random guy • 10 years and bots
@Doom Slayer you tell me to get a life when you talk about that chunchunmaru guys in the comment section, so i just tell you about my life in the comment section, and i think the comment fight should stop here, still got a lot of exam to do🐧
@Doom Slayer The only one logic is your argument and that's why i respect your arguments
The Flower carriage rocked. Nahida Opened her eyes.
Said she just dreamed a dream.
Dreamed of the day that she was born.
Dreamed of the day that the sages found her.
Alas, but where had Lord Rukkhadevata gone, to we all eager to meet her once again.
Realizing the Lord had perished, around her they gathered, to tears they were dashed.
In the end, Nahida was locked in by the devout. In the end, to no one could Nahida reach out.
The above content comes from the Tivat text of the last dream
If you listen closely you can hear sound of chains dragging through the floor on the 3rd dream when she's getting taken away by the sages I think it's an amazing detail
I think it's because when she moves there's little sparkle sounds
very nice detail I like it
0:54 This innocent smile as she wakes up excitedly even when something is wrong
I'm
SOBBING
must protecc..
istg nahida is just such a pure archon, I can't believe the sages treated her that way (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)
A meme from CN community:
Zhongli: I solved my people's problem.
Venti: My people solved my problem.
Raiden Ei: My problem solved my people.
Nahida: My problematic people solved me.
For people who didn't understand the message;
The trailer emphazises Nahida's talking about the same dream over and over again, waking up in a flower carriage, the dream about how her birthday is being gorgeous and wholesome (like if what she just felt, was not a dream, but a daydream truth). But as the trailer keep repeating the same dream (samsara's loop), Nahida without changing the subject, changes her voice tone, showing different realities as if they were all just dreams, but keeps explaining the same old gorgeous dream.
At the end, she no longer talks about a "dream", but just about her "reality", her "birthday", foreshadowing that all her days traped in the Sanctuary Of Surasthana are an endless samsara.
I have no words to describe how I love this character's design and lore. We need to save her at all costs 😭
BTW, those are the subtitles they gave to Nahida while paraphrasing her 3rd dream:
THE FLOWER CARRIAGE ROCKED, NAHIDA OPENED HER EYES
SAID SHE JUST DREAMED A DREAM
DREAMED OF THE DAY THAT SHE WAS BORN
DREAMED OF THE DAY THAT THE SAGES FOUND HER
ALAS BUT WHERE HAD LORD RUKKHADEVATA GONE TO, WE ALL EAGER TO MEET HER ONCE AGAIN
REALIZING THE LORD HAD PERISHED, AROUND HER THEY GATHERED, TO TEARS THEY WERE DASHED
IN THE END NAHIDA WAS LOCKED IN BY THE DEVOUT, IN THE END TO NO ONE COULD NAHIDA REACH OUT
Basically confirming that the 3rd dream was actually what happened 500 years ago. It is amazingly well writed how similar and oposite at the same time are the subtitles to the happy dream.
here is the final video you have been waiting for
kzclip.org/video/f_TJ9KMAGQg/бейне.html
@Surya Stefanus I'm confused why you typed open it then. Lol
@How2Blow just to press the dislike button bro
@Surya Stefanus why would you open some link if you dont know where it'll actually take you. Do yourself a favor and dont give them a view if it does and just ignore and report as spam.
I hope next year we get to celebrate her birthday genuinely in the form of an event😭😭😭
I have came back and i just wanna say: congratulations, we have freed nahida and saved sumeru. The sumeru arc is the best one so far. (nahida is my first 5050 win btw)
The art just wow the animation amazing!! And not to forget the mystery in this teaser!! Great job hoyoverse ^^
After this PV was released, "Don't allow Sumeru Akademiya" and "Destroy Sumeru Akademiya" started trending on Twitter in Japan.
She sounded so tired when saying "happy birthday, Nahida.." You could tell she was sick of being trapped by the sages, she just wanted to be with her people
🇧🇷🇰🇷
@Mystery ? Yeah talk (murder)
@Dlarence Parks
You just wanna “talk” to them…
The question is who planned all of this from the beginning is it really the sage or the fatui who knows?
Believe in our God. Believe in the Son of God
Well, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get her... Now, I'll be rolling for her and hoping 50/50 is on my f2p side. I want to go after Scaramouche and Dotorre and have her in my party so she can rescue her own damn self from their clutches.
From 1:38, there are some words at the bottom and they're saying:
The flower carriage rocked, nahida opened her eyes.
Saіd she just dreamed a dream.
Dreamed of the day that she was born.
Dreamed of the day that the sages found her.
Alas, but where had lord Rukkhadevata gone to, we all eager to meet her once again.
Realizing the lord had perished,
Around her they gathered, to tears they were dashed.
In the end, nahida was locked in by the devout.
In the end, to no one could nahida reach out.
Gosh I'm watching this on the way to work and cried for her :') nooo nahidaaaaa
For those who completed the Sabzerub quest, those repeated lines will touch the deep down inside your heart, in just the second loop, when you realized...
Can't hold my tear...
i just realized this same theme song is in her trailer but with the aranara singing it and i love it
I got goose bumps when she said "Happy birthday, Nahida.." 😭😭😭
*I also shoot a video about genshin impact😊*
@Yuki Kamino • 神の勇気 🤫
@Zyl 🤫
Me too it's so deep
Same, didn’t expect it went so dark!!!
I was wondering why was this a loop, her dream.
I understand when the last 2 dreams were changing so much. Nahida deserves the world
The people who made this need to write the story, this is impactful! Game Devs, take notes!
They need to rewrite the raiden’s plot. The war between raiden n sangonomiya feels empty
