That scene with both twins seems like the traveler was imagining their sibling with them

"Miss Furina is now one of my esteemed clients!" Makes it sound like Furina died and got stuffed inside a coffin

1:21 the Traveller is no longer using a dull blade

1:27 "You chose a path without a future" That one got me really emotional..

Hearing the traveler say "I always believed we would see each other again. That our days of separation would finally end" made my mind explode

For those wondering, the reason his name is localized as Gaming instead of Jiaming, it’s likely because it is very intentionally the Cantonese pronounciation. Lion dancing is more of a Southern Chinese thing than it is Northern, and the design of his lion mask is definitely more in line with the Southern styles. He also mentions eating dim sum here, and dim sum is explicitly cuisine originating from Guangdong (Canton)

When I was a kid and we'd visit relatives during Lunar New Year, there was one year where a relative hired a Lion Dance troupe to perform for the whole extended family. That was a really nice and expensive thing for them to do (most people will only ever see Lion Dancers performing at at large shopping malls or at a fancy restaruant opening). The dancers not only danced, they peeled mandarin oranges and a pomelo (basically the lion 'eats' a fruit so the dancers can peel it and then 'spits' out the peeled fruit to the audience), as well as jumped high to reach hanging ang pow/red money packet. Many of the elderly family members have passed away since then but seeing Gaming made me think about that special day. I know it's a bit early but I want to wish Happy Lunar New Year to the Genshin Impact team at Hoyoverse and say Thank You for reminding me of some lovely memories.

2:02 I love how the attack animation matches the music

I love how the trailer gave us Aether and Lumine chilling while us knowing it was a crazy moment!

Furina, Neuvillette and Hutao, Zhongli is an unexpected meetup, they kinda have the same vibe, also chenyu vale is so immaculate

PLEASE HU TAO BEING SO BUBBLY AND PLAYFUL WHILE ZHONGLI JUST STANDING THERE IS SO 😭😭😭😭

1:11 I wish we could see them happy together in game, I really want to know how they interact together and what their relationship was like before they were separated. It’s so sad to see them apart, I can’t wait for them to be reunited again :(

"Miss Furina is now one of my estimated clients!!!" YOU DID NOT HU TAO, YOU DID NOT. 😭😭😭😭

for anyone wondering, which adepti is celebrated in this year lantern rite, that's Menogias, one of the Yakshas (the Geo one)

Aether and Lumine together made me melt and then unmelt, may they reunite soon :)

0:43 that Gaming foot work and the music on sync is so Good

So excited for this !! Seeing Hu Tao and Furina together wasn’t something I expected 😭

I hope there will be an interaction between Zhongli and Furinia. Man, the lore bombs from this could be big! 👏

I had my first lantern rite 2 years ago and let me say it was so lively and amazing. It's like the feeling where you come back to your hometown so you can celebrate the holidays with your family.

I grew up in Hong Kong and haven't been there for quite a long time now. Ga-ming's moves and dances remind me of Chinese New Year when our apartment complex would host a lion dragon dance. As I child I always thought they were real creatures and when I found out they were humans, I wanted to learn it. Thank you Mihoyo for reminding me of those days. Ga-ming's definitely going to be my main now.

My Boy Gaming was Lion dancing on the water - ON THE WATER BRO GOT SOME MAD SKILLS

I can already see this being one of the best Lantern Rites ever! Bro, Lumine and Aether hanging together is just so wholesome.

I so hope Furina and Zhongli will meet. Their interaction would be so interesting, would Zhongli reveal anything? Does he know what she went through? How will he react to her? His interaction with Venti last year was absolute gold...

The music at cloud retainer's part was just AMAZING!

Oh, Caleb Yen is the voice of Gaming, I love when Trailblazer speaks in Star Rail, great to see him in Genshin too.

I love the direction Genshin is taking :) Chenyu Vale is between Fontaine and Liyue and it feels and looks like blend of those two regions. Cant wait to see new landscapes, hear new music, explore new quests :)

FURINA AND HU TAO TOGETHER !! the interaction that i've been waiting for !! 💕 and gaming is so cute, i love his lion dance (and he's voiced by caleb yan!)

Omg.... THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!! Ive been waiting for Furina and Hu tao to Meet!!!! And OMG the Ganyu skin looks so good!!!! ✨ And the twin's reunion!!!!??????? 🤩

AS A XINGQIU MAIN IM JUMPING AND CRYING HIS SKIN IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHAT. THANK YOU HOYOVERSE

"I always believed we would see each other again lumine, that our days separation would finally end" aether 😭😭😭😭

I love how genshin made the Wushou dance actually really similar to the real Chinese lion dance. As a member of the lion dance, I'm proud that Genshin made this character and the whole culture of the Chinese. Respect 💪💪

If that's Menogias being celebrated for this Lantern Rite, the Traveler and their sibling being "reunited" makes sense. Xiao and the Yaksha considered each other siblings. I'll be so upset if Xiao doesn't appear in this Lantern Rite. He's had so much character development that he deserves to fully attend one of these events. And, it would be the perfect timing to have him attend one that's celebrated in Menogias' honor.

Time for a new version y'all!

That Lion dancing was insane! I'm excited for this Lantern Rite event.

Crying after 4.4 cutscene Thanks hoyoverse for delivering exceptional cutscene especially gaming moment

whoever playing that flute great job that was real good

I hope that for those who want xianyun and Gaming will be able to get them with as little damage as possible! Especially for those who have been waiting for the day when cloud retainer becomes a playable character, I hope my wishes will bring you more luck!

OH MY GOD I'M ALREADY SO IN LOVE WITH GA-MING'S CHARACTER AND HIS VOICE AND EVERYTHING I'M GONNA MAIN HIM

Omg! I am so looking forward to all of this! Wow! ❤️

0:59 GUYSSSS NEW OUTFIT ALERT ON SHENHEEEEEE AND GANYUUU

Lumine and aether sitting together? No way they’re finally united!!😭

This was such a good opportunity to show Liyue and probably go back again. A real throwback, even if it hasn't really been that long. Aether and Lumine chilling together, wholesome sibling love right there.

The character gaming looks so cool!! I am definitely gonna get him 🙏

I love the fact the twins are together even though it’s most likely not gonna happen inside the game, I have a feeling this lantern rite is going to be amazing

Hu Tao and Furina is gonna be a deadly combo

1:12 STOPPP WHATT?? and you pass through it just like that? hold on a minute 😭

Gaming’s voice & Xianyun have such beautiful voices ^^! i can’t wait to see them out and play with them! :]

As a new player, I’m SUPER excited for my first lantern rite!!

Mihoyo is playing with our hearts with that twins scene 🥺

I hope we get to see Furina be awkward with the archons 😂

Yaaaay!! fav festival is here 😍✨

Aaaah Im so looking forward to this!! ❤

1:12 I got goosebumps when I saw Aether and Lumine eating together! 😱😱😱

Ga Ming literally looks so cool! He reminds me of Bennett! Hoyo yet again has done us right ❤

I just started on the Sumeru Archon Quest yesterday, and I'll probably be starting on Fontaine by next week at the rate I'm going.

I'm so excited!! Super excited for gaming too!!

*my reaction during Ga Ming's demo as someone who is cantonese chinese australian* OMG THE LION COSTUME! I love him alredy!!! HE USES THE CLAYMORE AS THOSE POLES THE DANCERS STAND ON TO GRAB LETTUCE!? I LOVE THE LION DANCEE... THE DRUMS IN THE SEGMENT!!! OMG THE DRUMS!!! HE SPREADS MORA LIKE LUCKY MONEY?! CHENYU VALE CANONICALLY CANTONESE BASED?! (guys i love him so much as a cantonese chinese person. Hes beautiful!!!)

1:11 I'm sure it's a dream or something, but I like the idea that your sibling took a break from running the Abyss Order to come to Lantern Rite 😂

I'm actually pretty hyped for this banner after not playing this for months. Xianyun and Gaming feels so fitting for this event. Being someone who performed in a lunar new year lion dance event before, I'm happy it's been added to Genshin lore.

0:27 Nobody is going to talk about Hu Tao meets Furina scene finally coming to the game? Wow

Another event with Furina is already GOAT’d in my books!

I love Cloud retainer. Also Shenhe and Ganyu’s new outfits I cannot wait

1:01 Ganyu’s and Shenhe’s outfit bro 😍

This looks absolutely gorgeous - can’t wait

I WANNA SEE FURINA MEET ZHONGLI!! And Xingqui, Shenhe, and Ganyu’s new out fits looks so good oml😭✨ AETHER AND LUMINE TOGETHER?! OMAH GAH I LOVE THIS SCENEEEEEE. Also, glad too see Xianyun and Gaming :DDD✨💗 *THIS IS GONNA BE A AMAZING UPDATE FOR SURE* ✨💗🔥‼️

Man you know what, Genshin is great. Let haters hate, we keep loving this game.

This was cool and all, but what I didn't expect is that Furina and Neuvilette would be meeting up with Zhongli and Hu Tao so soon. I guess some wishes do come true after all.

I crave to have Itto like he’s literally the good vibes I need in my life cause ngl everything seems really freakin hopeless and empty and pointless but he makes me smile

Man, it hits how many years have. passed and still, the Twins are away from each other.

I recently started playing the game and oh my god I am so excited to experience this for the first time!!!

My family’s from Guangdong and I speak fluent Cantonese. I love seeing a Cantonese character in game, can’t wait to get Gaming!

I can’t wait for dis amazing update o: ✨

1:14 Xianyun's gentle smile,,, so beautiful

Aether and Lumine are finally reunited after all these years, Cloud Retainer is playable, Ganyu and Shenhe together got skins. This is truly the best lantern rite!

An amazing trailer!! Bright, intriguing, so we also saw new outfits, and wonderful, completely different new characters. And I also like the combination of a holiday and some kind of mystery😍

Such a good version

Now this is easily the best patch we've gotten so far next to 4.2!

All the best to everyone for Gaming and Xianyun pulls😊

yayyyy lets gooo so many new things

This trailer is stunning! Very excited for 4.4 as there is so much to do! 🤩

YAY FURINA AND HU TAO ARE MEETING also ga ming's voice is epic AND OH MY GOD LUMINE AND AETHER ARE TOGETHER???

Gaming is so cool and cute! And one is mothering 🐦 Also excited to see Furina again, she’s becoming the Cyno of Fontaine and I’m here for it lol

The new location looks so good!! 😍😍

As a Shenhe main I’m so happy she got a skin! Can’t wait to get it ^.^

0:20 EXCUSE ME WHAT DID U SAY HU TAO 😭😭😭😭????? SHE CAN NOT BE DEAD, NOT NOW

Bruh I have not played on 6 months and it’s already 4.4

I can tell this is gonna be a really good lantern rite this year, they went all out.

Hoyoverse, could you swap Genshin's producer Cai Haoyu with Honkai: Star Rail's David Jiang for a year, just for us to test something?!

That moment where Aether and Shenhe smile at each other, so wholesome this is gonna be an amazing patch. Shenhe skin is absolutely gorgeous!

"One is fast on one's feet, try to keep pace" Finally 😊

This will be my first ever lantern rites and I am excited❤

I can't wait to explore, meet the new characters and discover more if the story!! :D

It looks like they actually put a lot of effort into this, this looks GREAT. I am happy that Ga Ming is free, his design, animations and gameplay looks so sick!!

caleb yen sounds amazing as gaming omg

This update is gonna be crazy good I can feel it

As a former Cocoagoat main, I am so happy she is finally getting a skin! Each one of them looks so detailed and absolutely gorgeous ♥️ I can’t wait to see what this years Lantern Rite brings

Im hype for Lumine and Aether reuniting and Aether crying!!

Lantern Rite is one of my most awaited updates in Genshin. Gaming looks stunning with his dragon head. Of course, Liyue is so magnificent during this time too.

YALL THIS LOOKS SO HYPEEE

Its kind of intersting that of the VERY few skins we have so far, two have been Fontaine costumes for characters from other regions
