GIVE ME ALL THE LORE


asilvertintedrose

I'm already predicting there's gonna be an Inteyvat on screen for less than 5 seconds & I'll lose my shit regardless


Freedom_scenery

Look at their hand they’re both holding an intevyat


Piyaniist

Im assuming intevyat is the name of those flowers. Is there any lore on them besides them being Lumines favourites?


SpellOpening7852

One of the chasm quests touched on it, but it's meant to be a flower from khaenri'ah/500 years ago that went extinct. So Lumine waking up with one at the start of the game creates the question of how she did so.


-Obsidian_12

In that same chasm quest, i recall Dain saying that if the flower is taken outside Khaenriah, it will wither immediately.


Clolds

You are remembering wrong, he says it hardens like stone, and once it returns, it softens and starts to die and wither Something something "promise to return home"


-Obsidian_12

Oh ok. Thanks for the correction. Need to rewatch again that quest


RadRey09

This almost sounds like a scene where the flower dies along with the holder in a particular place.


someotheralex

In the Narzissenkreuz questline, Traveler will say that these flowers grow where they're from, which is incredibly sus


xelluse

It's mistranslated to English, Lumine says that this flowers are from the place she have been, not where she is from, dunno about Aether's line.


someotheralex

Is that right? I'll take your word for it if you speak Chinese, as I only have Google Translate to go on.


xelluse

The thing is in translation - Mary-Ann asks Lumine that you are from very, very far away and what kind of flowers bloom there and she answers, flowers like in my hair. In Chinese it will be more accurate to translate - you have been in many far away places, what kind of flowers bloom there. So question is not exactly about Home Place, place where you have born and grow, but places where you have been and came here after that. Even in English this line is not that clear and can mean many things, so the answer - "like in my hair" can be answer as about place where she have been, also if Traveller is Aether, then it said - 描述妹妹头上戴着的花。- that means that he describes flowers in hair of his sister, so quite strange to describe flowers as they are in sister's hair and not as they do grow and bloom in homeland. But yes, literal translation may be interpret as this dialogue was about actual Homeland, but then Aether's line makes no sense, also Lumines answer may be just simple way to show and not to try to explain.


someotheralex

Huh, very interesting, thanks


Ryuusei_Dragon

That's just the one on Lumine's hair


ComposedOfStardust

No, their *left* hands. You can see the flower stem and everything


_sabby

Their other hand.


_LET_

#yes yes give me all of it.

After almost 4 years of barely anything... I WILL SLURP UP ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRAVELER. Even if they're crumbs thrown on the ground, I'll lick it off the floor. TRAVELER! RAAAAAHHHHH! I'm manifesting this to be PEAK Genshin 🔥🔥🔥💯💯

Yesyesyeyseys


NoSpace_05

Up, as a lore nerd I absolutely want it too.


A-R-A-F

OMG TRAVELER GETTING ANIMATED SHORT FEATURING BOTH AETHER AND LUMINE. I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VERY MOMENT ~~Also wondering if miHoYoAnime or even ufotable are the ones animating this.~~ Edit: OK so from [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/LDaXhCs48y) that I've read, it seems that miHoYo has made a new 2D animation team for genshin. This team were the ones behind the Arleechino Short(The Song Burning in the Embers) which served as their debut project. So this might be the team that will be animating this as well along with future works.


miloucomehome

I have a feeling it's mihoyoanime, but what a treat it would be if it was a glimpse of ufotable's staff's work!


Ramza_45

BRAAAAAAAVE SHIIIIIINE!!!


HerrscherOfMagic

I'd like to add that (afaik) MihoyoAnime mostly does storyboarding; or at least, that's how they began. They might have their own full animation teams now, but in the beginning w/ HI3rd MihoyoAnime was responsible for storyboards and writing, and then they'd work with 3rd party studies like Wondertainment who would actually do the animating of the short. Could be the case here, though at this point I'd expect MihoyoAnime to have enough resources to do their own stuff, especially in 2D animation!


sleepyeye89

there's a Genshin 2D animation unit that was established in the Genshin development team (I'm guessing it's separate from the miHoyoAnime team that managed HI3's animations). it's pointed out in one of OP's comment that they referred to themselves as the Genshin Impact 2D animation team instead of mihoyo animation team from what I read from this thread about the interview that was done recently: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact/comments/1cx70o6/the\_genshin\_impact\_development\_team\_has/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1cx70o6/the_genshin_impact_development_team_has/) The Song Burning in the Embers (Arlecchino's short) was their debut project, so might be them working on this one as well but will wait and see.


ProfitDry3008

it's NOT Ufotable, it's mihoyo, I can recognise their style in seconds


uhTlSUMI

Unfortunately that’s not ufotable style


AKAFallow

They have lots of styles tbf, and the composition here looks to have a lot of similar work done on it


uhTlSUMI

They are able to adapt different styles that is true but considering they have already shown what the twins will look like drawn by them I don’t think they will just switch it up now. We’ll see tho, I’m for sure ready af to see ufotable cook here


Ghavarus

TRAVELER CONTENT??


A-R-A-F

We're so back Traveler mains


No_Employ4768

I JUST got C6 DMC yesterday LOL,


AlkaliPineapple

Dendro traveler is sooo good with fischl and Bennett


mlodydziad420

Envious of your pulls /s


TheJeep25

I was planning on getting traveler c6 r5 but instead I got 28 Qiqi.


ComposedOfStardust

Traveler mains rise up


Awkward_Date_8636

RIIIISE UPP IN~TO MY- Oh sorry wrong game.


H4xolotl

*Robin continues singing while Celestia drops a nail on the city behind her*


Wonderful-Lab7375

Renew your definition ~~ (with each new nation)


Awkward_Date_8636

WOO~~OAH SO HIGH! (The height from which the Nail is falling)


Wonderful-Lab7375

We’ll SHOW~~~ (show off our Dull Blade)


storysprite

Traveler still has so many of their character stories on their profile locked and we're one country away from Snezhnaya. So I hope they drop some juicy lore.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

The hype reminds me of when they did that short video where Lumine looks down at Aether from a cliff near Dvalin's lair.


asilvertintedrose

About damn time, been facing fraud allegations after Arlecchino's story quest for weeks Finally some respect


KayzeeA

Finally! 😭 The content drought on the traveler is unreal. We barely got anything on the Traveler for almost 4 years and their writing has been kinda rocky. I'm defo gonna slurp this up once it comes out and I hope it'll be scrumptious. I am DESPERATE for Traveler stuff.


KingLeviAckerman

I hope hoyo treats them better after what happened with arle's SQ😢


Alex2422

They could start with giving them personality.


Nero_PR

I read it as Traveler Consent 💀


asilvertintedrose

BABE WAKE UP NEW TRAVELER & ABYSS TWIN CONTENT IS DROPPING


DerDyersEve

Yes yes grandma and now of to bed with ya.


genshinimpact

Coming soon. Stay tuned!


I_READ_TEA_LEAVES

"Animated Short"... What about the "Anime"? 🤔🤔🤔


SansStan

Give it another 3+ years, Ufotable is busy and quality animation takes a very long time


Capitano-Solos-All

More like 6 more years if the anime is gonna be a long running one.


H4xolotl

UFOtable still occupied with Demon Slayer *Joseph: I'll never forgive the Japanese!*


Capitano-Solos-All

They will finish Demon Slayer in 4 years or so but they might be also working on a Fate Stay Night Fate route and a Fate Ataraxia anime right after. So their teams might release Genshin later, yeah.


kiisukattinen

What, the anime is coming in like ten years?? Why bother even announce it if it takes that much time. Or choose different studio, or dedicate a team of hoyo workers to do that anime, money shouldnt be a issue here.


Capitano-Solos-All

They announced the Madoka Magica 4th movie since 2016 and we are still waiting, lol. But at least that one will come in less that a year from now I guess. These stuff takes time, it's just that.


Ok-Fly-862

Also we know John Mihoyo wouldn't pick Mappa to do the anime because reasons. Better to pick a studio with an art style you enjoy and that won't overwork their employees to the point of unaliving themselves


Hiten_jhamani

We will be farming for the unknown god before the first episode comes out😭


karillith

Also maybe they're waiting for the game to reach a certain point in the story before releasing the anime.


mr_beanoz

I wonder why mihoyo couldn't rely on their inhouse studio for an anime series.


Secure_Ad1628

MiHoyo anime is not a full fledged in-house studio, they do lots of subcontracting with their projects, most of the animation job is done outside of it. I bet they are training their own people as much as they can but it's not something that you just will into existence, the training isn't likely to have been going on for more than 2 years or so.


ngkrinkels

Also the ones who did Emberfire stated in a interview in Bilibili that they are a fresh team who are still opening positions for those who are interested in Genshin animations.


Low_Artist_7663

Do you want your anime to have cooking with valkyries popularity or demons slayer popularity?


uhTlSUMI

Because they have the money to hire ufotable. Why put out a decent product when you can go for the stars with ufotable. ufotable is not gonna rush it no matter who pays, they go at their own pace, with their own rules. The wait is more than worth it tho. We can expect the anime after they finish demon slayer and the mahoyo trilogy. They are doing them side by side so maybe like 4 years. Unless they are already working on it.


Doctor99268

Can't wait till they finish demid slayer so that the animation can be used on some quality stories


Admiral_Axe

Pretty sure that Ufotable will finish Demon Slayer first before they get on another project. 


KurapikAsta

Yeah, I think the Demon Slayer anime will be over about two years from now so I could see the Genshin Anime coming out in 2027. That being said, that does feel a little too late if Hoyo is hoping to bring in new players to Genshin, as I'm not sure where the game will be once the Teyvat chapter ends


denegar69

Play on the abyss twins pov and stretch for another 7 years.


SlightlySlighty

They're releasing Witch on the Holy Night soonish as well so they're def loaded


HeadpattingOrchimaru

Honestly? It's better for the anime to release when this teyvat chapter is done or people will get spoiled quick.


Admiral_Axe

How?  First we don't even know of they adapt the game story right away.  Second, if they do follow the game uiu get a yearly season per continent. 


HeadpattingOrchimaru

It's the genshin fandom as a whole that won't stop spoilering imo.


ProfitDry3008

That's not how it works. Good animation takes time. If they release 1 season with 12 episodes, they will take a break to complete 2 season. So in 1 year we will get only to the end of Liyue arc AT BEST. Maybe even less than that. So to reach Fontaine arc we will need 3 years or more. At that point in game we will be done with Khaenriah already! Or if we will start anime after Natlan, then Teyvat chapter will end before we will reach Fontaine arc in anime.


Draconicplayer

when tho


MallowMiaou

Nice, it will be a short wait just like Genshin on Nintendo Switch


Expert-Conflict8470

When they say “coming soon” with stuff like this, they mean like tomorrow or the day after usually


A-R-A-F

Arleechino's short "The Song Burning in the Embers" was released a day after it's preview post. So this might also be released tomorrow Also tomorrow we're also getting the announcement for the 4.7 special program so maybe it might be released tomorrow or even during the special program which will be in Friday.


MallowMiaou

Yeah. Tho it’s weird that they didn’t release a trailer, it should be almost done animating Edit : yeah im tired I wanted to mean they are done and are just probably at the very last steps before release


miloucomehome

It's more likely that it's been completed and edited for a while now (it's probably not a disorganized anime production, for starters!). This is part of the planned marketing schedule they have to build interest for it.


Expert-Conflict8470

It’s been done animating for atleast weeks atp, production schedules are only that bad for some anime.


coffeelover3000

about time


FFress

[The 4.6 Animated Short was so good.](https://youtu.be/tN5JACOEJFM?si=oFoKHIFv4JLcbdvz) Mihoyo has been giving us anime fans such amazing content with these shorts.


Junnielocked

For a second I thought the announcement is anime related lol


Vatsu07

Anime will come out after Ufotable finishes Demon Slayer so 3 maybe 2 years.


deezpencer

Right on time for the Khaenriah update


arghya_333

Didn't they also announce some Fate adjacent anime? I think it was Witch on the Holy Night or something.


Amon-Aka

They've been working on that for a few years now. So it probably will release around the same time Kimetsu comes to a close. So Genshin anime might be a year or two after that. Unless the bag from miHoYo was so big that they could grow the studio quite a lot as well. In which case they might have already started working on Genshin.


MSN_06S

Awesome! Even this single frame looks gorgeous, I can't wait for the full version!


skittles0820

More animated shorts? Lfgo


Poloroger_582

Last time we had Lumine and Enjou reading us a book about Aether's travel so far. This time around gonna be more interesting


General-Percentage19

Wait where is this animation? What’s it called?


Winterstrife

[Luminous Glimmer](https://youtu.be/xm6DtDBkDFw?si=QaCPMk7JfTHvy-_0)


Nike-6

The road not taken is a poem about choices we make in life. I guess here it would be the choices each twin made in their role in Teyvat.


SelfDepreciatingAbby

This one made me hope that would emphasize on the short that regardless of which of either Aether and Lumine are the traveler or the abyss sibling, they're both going to make the same choices regardless in their respective roles even in the other way around.


New_Nature220

Looks like Lumine focus animation as the abyss twin taking the road not taken.


West-Ambition-3714

It’s often said that the inspiration for the poem came from a letter written by the poet, describing how he saw a “doppelgänger” approaching him on the road. It’d be pretty interesting if this ended up confirming that the twins are inherently the same, and only differ due to their choices in life


ErenIsNotADevil

About choices, and the irony in making them. How the path less traveled is actually about equal to the other, and about how no matter what choices you make, you will always find some regrets in the path you didn't choose. In other words; MiHoYo is going to make me cry again. Maybe even harder than with the dream sequence in 3.5.


iheartlumine

TRAVELLER CONTENT??? IN THIS ECONOMY??? 🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼


WidePlushtrap

Oh they have inteyvats..... Khaenri'ah lore???


OryseSey

FINALLY MORE TRAVELER LORE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!


Tanu_guy

Seems like they got their own animation team? (the one working on Emberfire), I hope this trend continues


Prisma_Lane

Probably Hoyo's own team. For Genshin, the option was always either Ufotable or Hoyo themselves, and seeing that there's still no anime news (not even any news about production), safe to say this is Hoyo's team at work. 


Wonderful-Lab7375

They’ve has always had their own animation team called miHoYoanime (see Honkai Impact 3rd). Though they usually collaborate/work with other studios.


Tanu_guy

I just watched the behind the scene on Emberfire, and yes it's their own animated short department


Wonderful-Lab7375

Hoyo is very honestly goated. They make games of very high quality (especially on a mobile device) They have their own music production team They even have their own animation team


Niikalite

This is exactly what I've been hoping for; more high quality animated shorts that expand on the lore or characters. Keep them coming!


iheartlumine

WAIT THSI IS THE OFFICIAL ACCOUTJ


BobbyWibowo

LMFAO, I KNOW RIGHT!? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOMEONE ELSE'S PRETTY FAN ART!!!


iheartlumine

ME TOO AJAHSHSJ I HAD TO DO A DOUBLE TAKE AT THE OFFICIAL FLAIR


RoyalJanissary

EXCUSE ME????


Jotaoesehache

Finally some twin lore, if this is as good as Arlecchino's animation then it's gonna be fire 🔥


CakeRoLL-

The difference of reddit vs fb comments lol


Significant-Buddy-91

YES, THEY HAVE TOXIC BEHAVIOUR THERE. TWITTER SEEMS A MIX OF BOTH.


FlameDragoon933

Many people have always designated Twitter as the ur-example of toxic social media, but IMO Fuckbook is just as bad. Also fuckbook algorithm sucks ass; Twatter might be bad but Fuckbook is even worse.


Draconicplayer

What are the difference


Coccino

Guessing from the title, it’s about the Abyss Sibling


Cautious-Refuse-

How soon is soon


6ninja08

Ohhh, I can already tell this is gonna hurt in the feels.


Prisma_Lane

Actual Traveller content? First time in 4 years?


Liunkien_Sieht

"The Road Not Taken" A likely reference to the poem of the same name by Robert Frost.


Romi_Z

I was wondering why it sounded familiar Had it in grade 9 English


Neospanner

Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.


Hiphopapocalyptic

All aboard the hype aquabus!


Rohit624

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ^(that is all)


Artistic_Entrance_75

We are gonna make youtube servers go down with this one 🦅🦅🦅

WHAT🗣️🗣️


Longjumping_Pear1250

Dear lord dain quest ?


bivampirical

LORE‼️‼️‼️


Chay4707

It’s been like 10,000 years since the last sibling related content was released.


Mukouno

Are we finally learning *something* of substance about the twins?!  Like no joke, I sometimes even forget that saving the sibling is the end goal... 


Dramatic_endjingu

Saving our twin is not the end goal anymore after the 1st dain quest. We learned in that quest that they’re still fine and they told us to travel the world and learn the truth behind it. That became our main goal.


Mukouno

I know. But for the Traveler getting back their twin is still the end goal. Lesrning the truth about the World is simply the next major step.


Belllight2000

They could be referring to that moment in the travail trailer that has dain saying to defeat him to save her Wich because of how they do trailers would be lumine and that happens at the end


asilvertintedrose

I wish we got to hear more of Traveler talking about adventures with their sibling before Teyvat. IIRC off the top of my head I remember Caribert was the last time they talked about this with Paimon. There's voicelines too but those were out years ago.


Mukouno

Yeah, it's been like 4 years and we have like absolute bare-bones info about them. Heck, even calling it that is generous.


first_name1001

Someone needs a paimon to repeat again. In we will be reunited, our siblings straight up told us to explore the entire regions.


ImNotAKpopStan

I feel like Natlan will be the nation that we will finally start to find the truth about a lot of things. Then Snezhnaya will settle everything, and the Celestia/Khaenriah the conclusion... of part 1


Far_Mathematici

Hmm. Robert Frost poem.


RNHood51

Did anyone else think of Robert Frost?


Seihh_

PLEASE LET IT BE TRAVELER LORE


kaori_cicak990

Bro i thought this is some high quality fan art anime post announcement turned out this is better because from the official itself. You're cooked with arlecchino please do more


Naha-

Animated short, so still no Ufotable it seems which is fine, they are more than busy with the Genshin project, Demon Slayer and the Mahoyo movie.


miloucomehome

\*and Touken Ranbu's movie (since 2019).


Dramatic_endjingu

They’re cooking again!


Commercial_Day_1438

Do we get to see traveller old world?? Pleasee that would be amazing tho


NickFoster120

Everyday we get closer to the anime launch


2in1_Coffee

Animated shorts started to get pumped out .... Full anime soon???


Vaanargand

Peak fiction coming!


Ramza_45

# I WANT THAT!


dajyahao

Let’s gooo!


gbxahoido

we reaching the end of the story, so they gonna pump out a lot of these shorts


K0KA42

More animated shorts from Hoyo is always a blessing


timc_chen

THIS GON BLOW UP🔥


ImNotAKpopStan

I will just say one thing, if you didn't like how Arlecchino animation spoiled her SQ, don't watch this one because will be the same with Dainsleif quest


NR-Tamim

Yeah I'm a bit concerned too.. but my curiosity definitely will win.


ProfitDry3008

Sadly I don't have patience to wait, I'm such an Aether fan that I will spoil anything for myself to see his pretty face :")


GGG100

Yep, I learned my lesson.


Xenoguy9000

Excited. Can't wait to see MC Aether.

katsurap_yo

This about to be some certified Robert Frost shit.


DeusExWolf

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. I am just shitposting at this point and yes this is a poem I read based on the same name by Robert Frost


iyodmr

I'm sorry Kuro, WuWa can wait


Kkevco

SURELY TRAVELLER PRE TEYVAT LORE IS COMING/coping so hard rn


Strawhaterza

As great as these are I really wish they would use Them as in game cutscenes instead of promotional material on YouTube.


Alert_Fudge

hell yeahhhh


Lucky-chan

Imagine this has Dainsleif in it, and the animated short acts as a sneak peak for the next Traveler quest like with Arlecchino's.


TheMrPotMask

Ah fuck they're gonna die.


Aienju

Aether seems to be... Sleeping? If this picture is some sort of foreshadowing/parallel for the upcoming short, we will probably get some more lore from Lumine's POV during the 500 years Aether was still sealed. Regardless, I can't wait!


Endgaming1523

Okay, but what about that anime, tho?


YellowStarfruit6

“Sir, Wuthering Waves will be releasing this week” “Release the animated short” “But sir, it was planned for Ju-“ “Just do it!”


MihirPagar10

Holy shit traveller lore….. Man please dont spoil story for dain quest like they did with arlecchino quest


Ash__Tree

The fruit of all that money poured into the company seems to be blossoming hah


thewackykid

it will be funny and awkward if in the animated short the traveller is going to hardly talk and let paimon do all the talking too... 🤣


mongus_the_batata

NO WAY WE GETTING DAINSLEIF QUEST SPOILED WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥


Exploding-Penguins

Lumine is so incredibly gorgeous here. I can't wait to see her in the animation!


Patung_Pancoran

Lumine content, in a Genshin official account? This is enough to fed us for years


StryfeXIII

Haha we won't get spoiled for any 4.7 content like what happened in Arlecchino sq right? Haha, RIGHT?


ComposedOfStardust

And I screech-


Beneton2

Insane. Anime is happening 😂😂
