FAMILY REUNION AT THE LANTERN RITE

Hey there!

another year another lantern rite. i hope it's a happy one for all of us!!
rendered this video without doing the intro :D so i had to stay up super late to fix it zzz

i love how venti is looking like some ace attorney character OBJECTION moment-

i can't help but notice that i am a gigasimp for all that is liyue, was so happy to see ningguang shenhe and yelan again ☻♥
other than that i find it CRAZY the implications this quest might have on future meetings between characters, IN A TEMPORARY QUEST OF ALL THINGS????

that's crazy.

think that's all! it's kind of a countdown until i'm moving now, the guess was early march so i'm really looking forward to that for some big changes. can't wait! have an amazing weekend and c u soon c:

Zhongli and Venti acting like they don't know each other is that one clown recognize clown meme

[tatyanan]

After the war, all the archons met regularly with each other in Li Yue. They had not seen each other for the past 500 years after the tragedy in Khaenri'ah. However, Morax and Venti had already met after Venti woke up from his sleep and returned to Mondstadt. Therse two are the closest to each other of the Seven.

[antoniosaesthetic]

Best part of the event hands down. Zhongli and Venti are comedy gold trying to not reveal themselves. Xiao and traveler being awkwardly there is the icing on top lol. I also love all the different callbacks like Irodori, the Bartender event when Zhongli visited Angels Share, and Moonchase.

[sonyabo]

the fact that venti might be going around and checking in on his anemo users to see how are they doing tho 😭😭

[yourlocalidiot]

i was actually laughing sm at how xiao and the traveler's reaction was to when venti suddenly appeared

[AbyssRuns]

About xiao's past relationships with venti. Xiao almost lost himself to karma once, but venti's calm melody helped him to calm himself. This scene is in xiao's story quest as a cutscene and it's quite heartwarming

[jyll]

Venti and Zhongli trolling in that dinner is the best thing in this Lantern Rite 😭 (Or second best, under Guizhong's official design reveal at long last, )

[JanickGers]

It's astonishing (or, should I say, ridiculous) that the first interaction between archons that we've seen happens in a limited time event that new players won't be able to play.

[willcipher]

1:39:26 'the one attuned to my soul' is known as 知音(知 as know, 音 as music) and is a very intimate way of referring to one another, a soulmate is the closest the eng translation can get, should you play a tune, your 知音 would know exactly how you feel down to the slightest changes, its why the quest was so sad for madame ping, her soulmate, her other half, essentially was gone and she would never find another who would truly understand the intricacies in her tunes

[xenosasyndrome]

That whole dinner felt like a sitcom scene, it's just missing the laugh track

[Yosanxx]

Venti and Zhongli prententing they’re not archons will be my favourite part forever lmao

[peachjellow]

AT 3:00:30 WHEN EVERYONE WAS LOOKING AG US CHONGYUN LOOKED OVER AT EVERYONE AND COPIED THEIR MOTIONS??? IM CRYING HES SO FUNNY

[yishro]

The fact that zhongli, venti, xiao and the traveler acting dumb is hilarious 😂

[jxyxiin]

remember 2 years ago when paimon said we'll reunite with our sibling and spend the next lantern rite together?
I wonder how that's going :')

[Shotzy]

2:48:20 Zhongli needed the bamboo shoots for dinner with Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper -- him saying it was on the director's shopping list was a big load of balogne.

[baepsaesay]

Love how xiao just struggles to pretend he doesn't know who Zhongli and Venti are. I've never seen him that embarrassed, it's hilarious

[disha]

it's so funny how shocked xiao is when venti comes in
he's the friend xiao mentioned who he said he'd had met days prior

venti and xiao are connected by lore, his flute has soothing properties that eases xiao's karma, ,
long ago, xiao was in anguish due to his karma (and i think he was about to succumb) when the pain suddenly vanished and he heard the sound of a flute. it protected him on his journey.

also his name card description says he hopes one day he will be able to put on the mask and dance, not to conquer demons but rather to the sound of the flute

very poetic me thinks

[cassied.]

I have no idea how Dvorak is actually supposed to be pronounced, but the name was haunting me every time I even saw it and I felt like I was supposed to be remembering where it came from, and I finally figured it out - Antonin (I swear I've seen his name changed to Anthony) Dvorak was a super famous Czech composer who also did some composing and teaching in the US. As someone who has been playing flute for over 10 years and was also trying to be a music major (which I am no longer trying to do, because I don't hate myself) I have absolutely played some of his music, and I've played one of his most famous works multiple times and arranged at multiple different skill levels - Symphony No. 9: From the New World (or, when when I was just starting to play, "Theme from New World Symphony" in my beginner flute book). I wouldn't recommend listening to the full symphony unless you genuinely like classical music, because as someone who played classical music a lot but never really liked it all that much I can tell you for a fact that no matter how cool it sounds if you don't have some way to make it cool in your brain (like playing the music, in my case) it can become torture, especially if it's a 40 minute symphony. What you should do, however, is listen to at least part of the 4th movement, because it's super cool. Also, when John Williams was composing the Star Wars music he totally drew inspiration from that 4th movement, and there are literal compilations on YouTube comparing Dvorak's 4th movement to Star Wars music.

Meeting our favourite characters is the best part of this event .
Their interactions with the traveler and each other are far more interesting than any challenge or quest.
I hope Hoyoverse will listen to playerbase and let some characters wander around in the Teyvat . It's nice seeing them outside of story quests. It would make world seem more alive
