I don't understand why so many Genshin creators think that video is told from Arlecchino's memories rather than simply depicting events as they were at the time. (The stuff on Nietzsche is super interesting though!)
same. it makes 0 sense for it to be a memory and not simply events being recounted from an omniscient narrator's perspective.
The way you said Arlecchino is sooo satisying "Arrrlecchino" 🥰
Her name is so cool man
As an Italian, I must say that I'm rather pleased with the pronunciation.
Why are people soo focused on scaramouche appearing in her trailer? It isn’t implied anywhere that we’re seeing her memories so seeing sacaramouche there makes total sense, in the end, the entire purpose of the inversion of genesis quest was to show us that irminsul couldn’t change the past, and only the people’s memories and records of it
The thing is tho, is that, in character trailers, the POV _is_ often from the character of said trailer, if not, from a character very close to them who knows of the truth (ie. Zhongli and the yakshas). Assuming it's not for game purposes (voice lines), arlecchino memory of scramouche should've been wiped just like how greater lord rukkhadevata's memory got wiped from everyone, even the archon herself (excluding our traveler who isn't from teyvat to begin with). We're running with the idea that arlecchino's trailer is from her POV. So, unless mihoyo got sloppy and forgot scramouche's storyline, scramouche really should not be there in Arlecchino's memory.
@tiffanyh629 The thing you're missing is that this isn't a trailer character, nor it is a POV. The short is impartial about the occurrences since it doesn't show us what happened from the perspective of Arlecchino, no thoughts or ideals of her were shown. If it really was her POV then the initial scene where Crucabena tells a story to the children shouldn't be there, since Arle wasn't there. It instead showed what happened in general, with her being the main focus/protagonist. It actually shows her story from a third person view, not her personal one. Since it shows objective reality, then it is right that Scaramouche appears, and it's not a POV.
Ahhh this is so interesting I love it!! First, SUPER nice catch about Tartuffe, and second, this is such a nice dive into the nuance and actual context of the 'good' and 'evil' explored by Nietzsche. This is firing a lot of neurons in my brain and making so many connections I missed?? Like in 3.6, with Rene's notes talking about the blurring of good vs. evil, and also the Nietzsche achievement references in the Khvarena of Good and Evil, I had thought they were going for a more broad (and superficial) interpretation of 'morality.' But with Arle seemingly having some connection to both Khaenri'ah (ala Perinheri) and Narzissenkreuz (Caterpillar stuff), as well as Nietszche's moralities you highlight now, with Arle's teaser and the animation.... not to mention she's literally a knave or servant.... I'm so intrigued to get a fuller picture in 4.6. anyway super cool analysis, thank you so much for the content! I'll have to chew on it a lot more! (especially as a Nietzsche indulger who doesn't have the brain cells to process all these things lololol)
your comments always make me so happy aaa thank you!! my friend actually caught the Molière reference, I was rambling to her about Nietzsche and "Tartuffery" and she mentioned the play, so major credit to her aha :3 I completely spaced on Rene's notes though and the references in the Khvarena quest though- tysm for reminding me omg :> I get easily lost with Fontaine lore just because it seems so removed at times from what we know of Teyvat so far, but I'm crossing my fingers that between Arle's SQ and Remuria we'll be getting some long-awaited answers!
Nietzsche is such a cool and interesting philosopher and i love what connections you are making between him and Arlecchino.
If there's Philosophy abd a genshin character's name in a title, it's a must watch for me
Underrated channel you deserve more attention
I love this take on Arlecchino’s mentality, and it was very interesting to watch!
thank you !
this video is soooo good, I really love reading about philosophy and I never thought a video related to genshin would make me want to read even more, especially things related to what was mentioned. Ty for making this video !
To be super honest, I view Arlecchino’s mentality as similar to how you described it, she does things not for herself, but for others. Such a great video, and I wish luck to all who wants to roll for Peruere :)
thank you so much! good luck in your rolls as well!!
i am sorry to inform you but according to her story quest, she more or less selfish. she only care about the organisation, and not the people in it. sure she dosnt kill them when they leave but it sounds more like she dosnt want anything standing in her way of the house of the harth rather than showing mercy to her kids. i kinda dislike her after the quest... Also we absolutly have no info on how tf she has her powers. as far as i am concerned visions does not give you fucking domain expantion.
@@amjadm7730 caring about the organisation IS caring for people in it. she isn't alone in the HotH. if she lets traitors out of it, they could spread information that can be used against her AND her children. it IS better to stop them BEFORE they could hurt those she cares about -- her children. you completely missed the point. and omg go read her stories, her powers dont come from her vision.
extremely good video!!! super thought-provoking and profound. you're so freaking underrated, im so happy i found your channel!
thank you so much !
very good video i love your eloquence 🌸
LOVE IT.
This is so Interesting, I'm Glad I started play Genshin, this is all thanks to Arlecchino XD
:< D Im So Out Of The Loop
Dottore has a more Nietzschean philosophy tbh.
The dipping into accents is cringe, I can't watch this.
Then scroll by?? We're all entitled to our own opinions but you look immature commenting 💀
