Story Teaser: The Divine Damsel of Devastation | Genshin Impact

Props to them for hiring a professional Opera singer and sticking with their culture, hope to see more like this.

MiHoYo, PLEASE let us rewatch these scenes in the game itself. These are getting better every Version Update.

As a kid who grew up in a family of Chinese opera singers, this was an amazing cutscene to watch in my first playthrough. Had me in tears 😭 it’s so beautiful

Even after almost a year this song still sends shivers down my spine

ONE OF THE BEST CUTSCENES EVER, THE SINGING REALLY MADE IT ALL 1000 TIMES BETTER

I like how Yun jin respected Shenhe's wish to keep some details hidden.

This song is so beautiful. Even after all these months, coming to listen again it brings tears to my eyes. I'm not even sure why but something about it really strikes a cord in me.

This cut scene was so well put together, I love the singing and the story quest.

My favorite part is how the song isn't just Shenhe's story but also Yun Jin's. The first half is written by Yun Jin's father and a traditional tale of the divine damsel Shenhe who joins the adepti. Yun Jin's new lines tell the story of a mortal Shenhe, where the human experience takes precedence over tradition and deification. The Chinese lines are also literally "The tunes are high, but there are those who understand her song and will harmonize with her music", which can be applied to not just Shenhe but also Yun Jin's music.

Yun Jin says in the character menu she likes rock music and goes to Xinyan's rock concerts, even though the other opera people scorn her for it. That makes the fact there's subtle rock elements in this song all the more fitting and awesome, since it really reflects her character.

This is the Reason why a lot of us Genshin players actually play the game, The Lust for characters is for shits and giggles, but Moments in the game like this really make the game the reason we want to continue the Journey of Teyvat.

This story quest was so awesome, i actually cried when Shenhe saved the Traveler

The way Mihoyo portrayed Shenhe's story in this cutscene was probably the best way they could've done it. I had high hopes for this patch and I'm defiantly not disappointed

Beautiful cutscene, especially the vocals! Hoping that they’ll enable an option to replay cutscenes in-game

After listening to Furina's song, I went back here to listen Yunjin's classical opera song. I really love it when Mihoyo includes different languages especially musicals ❤️

as an ethnic chinese, and someone who is training to become a chinese opera singer, i am so so so glad that mihoyo hired a professional chinese opera singer to sing yunjin's part, used traditional chinese instruments such as the gong, guzheng, and pipa in this song. thank you for this excellent representation mihoyo. this brought tears to my eyes. 米哈游，非常感谢。<3

This is why i wish Characters like Venti and Xinyan had songs, ESPECIALLY Venti since his "song" cutscenes are just awkward poetry and his actor for EVERY DUB CAN SING. There's a bunch of characters who are the top of their field, because the game tells me they are, but Yunjin i BELIEVED she was the best opera singer in liyue.

Even as a Chinese, I don’t Normally listen to Chinese opera. But THIS, the way they combine traditional music with modern music, listening to the lyrics while remembering shenhe’s backstory, just beautiful. That last drop made my eyes run like a waterfall. Mihoyo just keeps on amazing me non stop

cutscenes in videogames don't often have me going to youtube right after to watch them again, but wow. what an all-around gorgeous piece of work.

You know why this performance is so touching? It's because we've Learned Senhe's past, current struggle, and we've fought with her. After the grueling quest, this performance is the best reward to us, players. Also the best representation of Chinese literature.
