[4.7] 7 Things You Missed in Natlan Preview Teaser - Need a Hand? (Genshin Impact)

We finally got a good look at Natlan's vision design as well as some completely new things which we didn't know before. Are these Saurians, companions or just mounts, how do they work and let's discuss the three new characters. I hope you enjoy the video :D

with this colorful place like natlan, i wish the archon quest will be full of plot twist with darkest secret in it

4:50 with that zoom, I now realise her pupils are fish-shaped. Pretty on the nose.

I want to see the natlan statue so badly 😭

Think about the Dendro dude too! The Dendro Saurian in the previous trailer could use some sort of orbs to connect and fly like the guy! All three of these newly shown characters were very like the versions of the saurians we previously saw!

[dannikkolisoria]

Things I personally will look out for from the teaser and your video:

1) The Dendro guy’s gimmick is the same as the saurian. But what if instead of just a mode of travel, both can actually attack on mid-air? As it was shown in the teaser, the dendro dude swiveled his claymore mid-air.

2) Some people say Furina’s kit is kinda foreshadowed by the hydro hypostasis (ousia-pneuma colors, hydro animals representing saloon animals, etc). We know that Fontaine’s character gimmick revolves around arkhe alignment, which Furina both have. If we apply this concept to the Pyro archon, then we will relate the pyro hypostasis’ design and skills to her. Pyro hypo has these pyro animals as part of its mechanics which might imply that the Pyro archon doesn’t need all the saurians/mounts because a) she might have the power to shapeshift, b) as the archon of the nation of dragons, she has the control over these saurian mounts, or c) part of her kit is to summon mounts, just like how Furina summons hydro entities with her Skill. Note that these are just all speculations. Based on the slime/hypostasis theory.

3) Each region represents real life culture/s and nationalities. The recently teased Natlan characters has rich and diverse motifs that might hint which real world culture/nations they’re representing. The most obvious design for me is the hydro girl’s design. She might possibly from a tribe inspired from Austronesian or Pacific indigenous groups. Even her shark’s design is leaning on that culture. The geo girl is interesting, and the teaser showed a tent-like “city” where she most probably resides. I’m not sure with this one, but might be inspired by Native American culture. The hardest to guess is the dendro guy. His design shows many quadratic symbols and checkered patterns. It may represent any culture from South East Asia, Latin America, or the Aboriginal people. There are three more saurians from the first released teaser which will represent more characters. We might get characters based on Eskimos, the Aztecs/Mayans or the Amazons in the future ;)

Sorry for the long comment, I’m just very excited for Natlan. And I think Hoyo kinda wants to represent almost the whole real world. The whole version 5.x series will be a really good treat to the Genshin community. :)

Wtf the dinosaure is so huge, how could i miss it ??

[tsukkiye]

dendro xiao looking like kingdom hearts sora i'm here for it

[tuannguyenbuiinh]

I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet, but Natlan's Vision case design looks (and might be inspired from) like the Mayan Calendar, which is the inspiration for Natlan overall design as well !

[t.k.]

Would be cool if those mining tools (?) from the enemies were a reference to the damage made to Amazonian indigenous people by illegal mining. If anyone's curious about this, the Yanomami tribe in Brazil suffers with heavy metal poisoning due to mining techniques employed illegally by companies in their lands. If I remember correctly, their people, land and meals were suffering with quicksilver poisoning, it's a whole humanitarian/sanitary crisis.

0:28 IT’S A SHARPEDO!

“Dress to match their *companions* ” - this is literally Pokemon!

I guess we gotta catch them all

[luvfromnilla]

Natlan is so much more than I expected, and this teaser genuinely made me look forward to the seemingly Natlan specific travel style, more than the previous teaser they showed. If future characters also end up mimicking their Saurian companion, I'm sure the designs will look very cool. ♡

Some cultural keys that I managed to recognize:
4:03 This saw is a stylized Aztec macahuitl.
5:02 Here the foe girl is carrying an Aztec macuahuitl.
2:47 This vision is adorned in the style of the center of the Aztec Calendar... a mexican classic design.
The city living in the volcano valley is like Teotihuacan, but it also makes you think of the Inca cities... the balloon thing is an interesting nod. After all, it is a popular theory that the Nazca lines were gigantic to be seen from the sky.
If anyone else was able to recognize other details, could you mention them?

I can’t believe you compared the geo girl to everyone BUT Kirara, whose elemental skill looks very similar in mechanics to hers

[MiguelRodriguez-zrof]

The Hydro girl just gives this Caribbean vibes and the Dendro guy too, he also gives modern jungle vibes which is cool, the geo girl looks like she is from the dry areas up north of Central America. So yeah, as a hispanic from the Caribbean I approve this designs, but I'm not going to lie, I'm looking for more tanned looking, volcanic living characters since it is after all the Pyro Nation, there has to be something related to fire.

Ok, this is…pretty unrelated to the overall video, but I haven’t seen anyone mention this so I just wanted to spread the word.

We…most likely haven’t seen what Snezhnayan visions look like, at least not in their more natural state. This is because Arlecchino’s vision story tells us that she gained hers when she was still in Fontaine, meaning that it should’ve manifested with a Fontainian casing, and yet we see a “Snezhnayan” one instead, making it likely that the casing was somehow removed and replaced.

I don’t exactly know how this works, nor do I get…why and how they seemingly removed Arlecchino’s potential power over Pneuma or Ousia in the process, but I think that Arlecchino and Childe’s visions have unnatural cases made specifically for Fatui members, which makes sense in retrospect given how they’re silver/metal unlike every other casing, and also how they share the same casing as the manmade delusions.

In fact, given how we see Childe and Arlecchino wear their delusions exactly where their visions usually are during their boss fights, I kind of wonder if that’s why these casings are applied, it allows them to easily switch between the two. So…yeah, I don’t actually think we’ve seen a standard Snezhnayan vision yet, and that the Fatui ones are a bit of a mystery at the moment.

[amandaslough]

I definitely see each character being a counterpart to a Saurian, but I don't think they're 'attached' to them. I think the Saurians will be Natlan only, and the characters will let us do those traversal techniques outside of the nation (I think they'll just work like fancier versions of Sayu and Kirara skills).

[aelfycarcini]

There are many totem-style animals in indigenous cultures throughout the Americas, from the indigenous people of Alaska and Canada to those of South America. So it's only normal that some characters have animal characteristics and that they can identify with an animal that is their personal totem. Like Nahuales in México. In the Native Americans they are bears, eagles, wolves, buffalo... In the north there are also dragon-style animals: the winged chimera Piasa of the Illiniwek, in the Cherokee the giant snake Uktena, or the horned snake of the Choctaw, Seminole or Ojibwa people. All very similar to the Aztec Quetzalcóatl or the Mayan Kukulkan... Yes. The mythology of all of America is fascinating and very suitable for great Genshin-style epic scenes.

I love how 2 of the things in here are just "look this character has gloves" and "look that's a deer"

[francyx_v]

my take on their power is that everyone of them is from a different "tribe" an have different types of saurian companions, if you pull for the character you can use that ability if it's the same exploration type needed, like surfing, climbing and jumping in the air, if you don't have that character you can always borrow the saurians like in the first trailer.

[randomfungaming]

Its kinda fitting for the title teaser "Need a hand?" which implies exclusive game mechanics to Natlan region to use companions to scale different terrains.

Reminds me a lot of pokemon like in XY, SM, SwSh whereas you use different pokemon for scenarios like using lapras to surf, charizard to fly etc
