i was watching the scene of focalor and neuvilette while bawling my eyes out but cracked up by the simple summary in the end of this video 😭😭

[Schnubi]

Imagine after all this time Neuvilette simply said "f*** them humans" and didnt do anything

[kayleighdriessen]

Focalors did seemingly got anvilled to death like in Minecraft, someone make a meme out of this XD

[EmoryAotsuki]

THE MINECRAFT ANVIL SOUND ON THE RECAP

[yushrisalamuddin]

The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale got me there😭😭

[yharnamiyhill]

The plothole is that how did Foscalor know the timing of the prophecy? Why couldnt the flood happen much sooner? Like within year 1 instead of 500th year?

I like Fontaine the most because the underwater experience is fun, easy to explore and the hydro archon is fully detailed, Egeria makes humans, she dies and one of her humans take her place and schemes to deceive the Divine. Rhukadevata or Buer as a character isn’t fully explained, like she’s a tree? Raiden Ei or Beelzebub motivations and plans weren’t really explained like her whole friend group died and now is stealing jewelry? Zhongli/Morax, and Venti/Barbatos have a whole story book of information but we know they’re hiding something so they get a pass.

Very helpful video, thanks for breaking it down. I'm still a bit confused about a few things though if anyone knows:

*. Why did the waters rise? The Narwhal was in the Primordial devouring the jank for a long time, and that is what was causing the water to rise? Then when the whale is defeated, the waters suddenly go bananas and rise enough to consume all of Fontaine. Also, why did the water recede so quickly? Was it because of the cliff on the east side of Fontaine in which all the water just drained off?
*. Since the plan was to save up enough power to destroy the hydro throne, why didn't Focalors activate her plan earlier? Ah, would that be because the prophecy needed to be fulfilled in order to fool the Heavenly Principles? I suppose that makes sense, nvm lxD

[marcchristianchan-chan]

idk why but i laughed so hard at the conclusion

[MoimoiShe-her]

I still wonder what will happen to Fontaine while not having an archon by their side

[deannerodriguez]

Now this leaves like a ton of questions about Celestia, like are they even caring? I don’t think the destruction of the hydro throne was part of their plan with the prophecy, as the “Hydro archon” is suppose to be present or alive and crying over her people’s death. But Focalor destroyed the throne to gave Neuvi his powers back, a sovereign which is one of Celestia’s or the Promodial One’s toughest enemies, wouldn’t that suppose to wake them up or are they’re like: “Oh you got a sovereign on your side? Ok that’s cool… *goes back to sleep*”😅

[mohamadal_mansorei]

But why is the statue of hydro archon still as it is? Isn't it supposed to disappear or be destroyed? Do you think that furina will have a story to become a new Hydro Archon?

[AhmedIbrahim-uidj]

Didnt they say that fate cant be changed and if the prophecy stats that people will dissolve how come they didnt even if the hydro dragon forgive them ?

[evilyabe]

but if Furina get slashed will she died? (when the curse is work)
i cant stop thinking about this.. mb shes not die, but will suffer a few days in pain?..
ok its get darked...

[fazx]

Wait does that means that Celestia can no longer give hydro visions and the vision that furina got was from neuvillette?

[rizkyadisaputra]

what a suicidal Archon, kinda jesus sacrificed for the rest of his people & and forgive all of the sin what a ridiculous

[duongnguyen-si]

why the archon and neuvilette just combine powers to save the people? wouldnt celestia still know they got deceive now? why furina couldnt know the plan and anyone know she is the fake archon? so the second step the trial can be for any reason but this one if for the fake archon? why people touch the primordia sea get dissolve?

[lnsflare]

So is Surtalogi a god of Celestia, considering that Celestia's curse relied entirely on his pet repeatedly devouring the Primordial Sea without his super powerful student just immediately coming over and punting it back into its cage.

[adaptationmoths]

wait so what happened to the hydro gnosis?

[Luvani.]

sorry for asking but can tell me where i can find rhis picture of neuvillete in 8:29??
