Aside from chunky hp, he also has huge AoE attacks. He also has huge damage but it has also a very long and slow casting time to the point its easy to dodge without sprinting. Although if someone doesn't memorized Azdaha's skill set you're bound to get one shotted lmao. For me its kinda perfect thematically because Azdaha is very unstable because of his chaotic nature from being corrupted that he always want to flex his powers but forgetting how to use it strategically because he is so absorbed by his powers and his grudge.

I personally interpreted it as Azdaha's heroic side; there was still a side of him which wanted to fight for his friendship and contract with Zhongli and keep his rage contained. But I'm not too familiar with music theory - is the heroic side taken from Zhongli's theme at all or use any of the motifs?

@paraalso

2 жыл бұрын

@@phoenyck There isn't necessarily a right way to interpret it. To me the heroic music at the start of phase2 represents Azhdada and is like a flash to past where he and Zhongli fought shoulder to shoulder. The hauntingly beautiful and sad Erhu is representing Zhongli's memories of the past and regret over what happened to his friend. That transitions into the metal guitar, which to me feels like Zhongli's determination to put down his friend once and for all. He is the lord of Geo, so being represented by metal is appropriate. The guitar then clashes with the massive choir. The choir to me represents Azhdada's rage. They are reciting an ancient Chinese poem with lines like "You have betrayed your faith" which can be seen as Azhdada's hatred over Zhongli's betrayal. The Erhu returns. Zhongli still sees his old friend in Azhdada despite everything. As the choir dies down, the guitar finishes the song.

People might not like Genshin because of the gacha side of things, but the passion that the devs put into the game is insane, especially when it comes to the music.

16:08 Yes exactly. The choir lyrics in Azhdaha theme is written by Sun Yu (孙宇) from Hoyo-Mix. In Genshin there’s an in-game NPC named after this guy, who’s a disciple of Guhua. Interestingly enough, the lyrics are in ancient Chinese, very similar in patterns to the poems by Qu Yuan (屈原), who was a phenomenal poet and an exiled minister of ancient state Chu (楚). More interestingly, the meaning of these lyrics are just EPIC and fits Azhdaha himself so well. I’m gonna try translating them though ancient Chinese can be pretty obscure: 邃宇兮 黑翳逐 Deep universe, after which the dark shades chase 山野兮 窘步 Mountains and wilds, through which I walk awkwardly 出！ Leave! 幽宫兮 余既伏 Gloomy palaces, in which I’ve been hibernating 君常违兮 国隳芜 The rex violates his laws, so the state is destroyed into ruins 乌有兮 归处 And now there’s no place I can return to 蓄雠怨增欷 Dusty hatreds and resentments, they keep accumulating 零落兮 困洿渎 Down and out, I’m trapped in this small ditch 惶惶兮 索陵迟恶途 Uneasily, searching for my grave on a long dangerous journey 奈何乎！ Or what shall I do? 归兮！ Return! 巉石峦岳毂转乎 Steep rocks and spiky hills, they roll my wheels 万川湍流吞穹庐 Thousands of rough rivers, they submerge the skies 山崩岩崒 Mountains collapse, rocks decompose 愆辜安除？ By what means are the sins and guilts got rid of? 愆辜安除？ (Repeated) 零落兮 困洿渎 Down and out, I’m trapped in this small ditch 浇季兮 穷路 The season for irrigation comes, it’s when my journey ends 林峻茂兮 掩殊途 Forests are wooded, different paths are covered 审行迷延伫远兮 山穹覆 Carefully I stand in the distance, watching all the mountains and skies overturn (I swear the translation is accurate in meaning, but may not be what it’s originally like, because every single word they picked is of extreme solemnity in ancient Chinese, but for English I just picked those common words this is all I can do I’m sorry Sun Yu)

But I stayed because I noticed there's more than just gacha, gameplay, and designs. They're not playing around in terms of making the stories, the lore, the music, and character depth. I appreciate that very much, and I stayed mostly for these aspects.

yea! written in the form of Chuci, 2000yr+ history poem style! strong n epic

Greetings from China! I was impressed by this song but unware about the composing details and skills in this masterpiece. You really did a good work on analysing this music and explaining to us, which makes it easier to comprehend. By the way, your videos of music analysis on Genshin have also got high views on Chinese video websites. Great job!

These ost actually means a lot more after you understand the lore behind it. For those who dont know, the second phase theme only plays after you had cleared the whole story and fight Azhdaha for the second time as a weekly boss. Now that you have understood the whole picture, you know that you are facing the wrath of a deity who lost his memories and took the wrong idea behind his imprisonment. He had suffered for thousand of years, longing for revenge. Those sweet memories and his love for humanity are no longer there. And you are here to free him from his suffering once more. Yu peng chen did a really great job of protraying the danger that Azhdaha pose, and all of his rage, pain, and glory as a deity. The erhu perfectly symbolizes his magnificence as a dragon, and i literally ascended after hearing it for the first time. The amount of first time hype i got while fighting him is unbelievable. Many sections of the song including 11:19 and 11:53 shows the heat of the battle while also showing his struggle and power. Chinese lyrics in the form of Chu ci also made a huge difference in feels. Mad props to everyone who took part in the making of this song, and also to Alex for the review.

Actually，about the second phase of the bgm, its lyrics is in a Chinese literature form named Chuci(you can treat it as a sort of poem?) and its meaning is: (Long ago) In the field of starts, expelling the dark shadows (Now) Lost in the mountains and wilderness, with no way to go Show yourself! Since you left, this country has fallen into a terrible state Hatred, sorrow, and grief accumulate day after day Panicking and not knowing where to go, I embark on the treacherous journey ahead It's time to return! The steep rocks and mountains withstood the test of time Thousands of rivers rush rapidly, seemingly swallowing the sky (But even if)Mountains fall and the earth tremors How can the evil(which caused all this)be eradicated (Fate)Lonely and wandering, trapped in such a harsh place There is no way out of this miserable generation The mountains are precipitous and lush, hiding the path that diverged(between you and me) Recounting how i had lost my way and wandered away from you, engulfed by the shadow of a mountain ridge (From Mihoyo)

Yu Peng wrote some complicated orchestral music before he joined Mihoyo. There are some of his previous works on my channel. I will continue to update his previous works in the future. He has strong composing ability, but because the MMORPG called Moonlight Blade is not very popular, and most of the film he composed are bad horror or comedy,he has not been well known by the outside before. It was Mihoyo's luck that he composed music for Genshin.Similarly, he was lucky to meet Mihoyo.There are so many good soundtracks in the world that are unknown because the relevant films, animations or games are unpopular, but they are also the painstaking efforts of composers. As a former Moonlight Blade player, I'm very happy that Yu Peng's music goes to the world.Genshin's current music does not represent his full strength,so please look forward to the future.

They released Inazuma recently that's Japanese inspired music and you can really tell that the composer has really done their research and knows a LOT about music and styles cause it's on POINT. Since my families from Japan I was really hoping they'd nail it, maybe go for like Okami style OST cause those are beautiful, and tbh they go above and beyond! You visually travel through different parts of Japan (like chinju forest is so Shikoku and the shrine is very much inspired by fushimi inari) but then the music accompanying it.... AAAAAAAH. Too much joy to put into words!!! On another note Tartaglia's battle theme really goes through different phases, like phase 1 feels so adventurous and excited, fitting to Tartaglia's emotions, and as you go through the phases it takes a more church type feel as he uses powers from back home etc and it's so exciting. I like genshin music they really know how to take you on a journey in just a few mins!! It's amazing, composers are amazing. Okay ramble over 🤣 Love your content as always Alex!! This really set new perspectives to this piece for me, and I appreciate it even more now.

Ah, the moment of panic everytime I lose my shield while fighting this geo frog.

The most major reason of why I can't leave Genshin is how good their music is.

"Is this heroic!? Is this dangerous!? My brain is having a bit of a problem translating (the message of this melody)" *Spoiler Alert* After playing Zhongli's second character story, you'll see you're exactly on point. Azhdaha was not always evil. More accurately, he actually still isn't. He's still as intimidating, imposing, and powerful as he always was, but he has lost his memories of his fondness of humanity due to erosion and the passage of literal millenia Azhdaha was Zhongli's friend, his equal, but with raw power unrestrained. So yes, he is to be respected and glorified as a hero of the ancient times who aided Liyue, but at the same time feared for his earth shattering might for he has forgotten his purpose and is now shackled within a sealed barrier by Zhongli, much to Zhongli's reluctance doing so to his dear friend

This video is 2 weeks old and I only just chanced upon it so while I understand that you might not see this, I would like to express my thoughts. Thank you very much for this video! You have really expressed what I felt that I lacked the technical jargon to describe. I am from a country with huge numbers of Chinese dysphoria who managed to still retain our Chinese traditions. However, it is slowing becoming a dying one as youngsters prefers the more western style of life compared to the more traditional style. As a result, even traditional Chinese music instruments are in low demand. This game managed to revive it by using traditional Chinese instruments to transition from a traditional tune to a more modern, metal tune to even mixing both together and make it pleasing to the ears. I was really happy when you pointed it out and was equally excited as you when I watched your video. You looked like you were almost moved to tears and it made me feel oddly proud as a Chinese. Thank you so much for your video, and I apologise for my lack of proper music jargon usage.

MY FAVORITE MUSIC ANALYZER IS ANALYZING GENSHIN MUSIC AGAIN BEST DAY EVER

These kind of themes are, for me, the reason why Genshin Impact have one of the best OST ever made

Mihoyo: "YES!!!" Everyone: "So what kind of mus- wait wha-" *The f*cking metal hits you right in the face!*

Next year we'll probably see the Release of Sumeru, a Nation with a mix of Egyptian, Middle eastern, and Indian cultures

They do make it sound like regions are one per year, yes. With subregions (Chasm, more of Mondstadt), event areas, and potentially collab areas in between. The regions may release in waves though, like Inazuma's islands possibly not all out until 2.2+.

We've heard some of what Snezhnaya's tracks sound like, the ones from Tartaglia and soon for La Signora

The choirs in the second phase tells us about the story of the Geo archon, how he gave life to Azhdaha and fought alongside him in order to purge the evil from the land. i think this really adds a strong feeling to the music knowing this, especially if you played the game and know the suffering Azhdaha has been enduring for so many years. This track really is a masterpiece and i loved your reaction to this music theme ! Inazuma just came out and i can't wait to see how you will react to the best themes of this new area.

“There’s no way phase 2 can top thi-“ *utter disbelief *

It's fun seeing him speculate about future OSTs for the other regions, knowing that MIhoyo did exactly that, going to a japanese orchestra to record the inazuma soundtrack

If you’re doing more Genshin, would love to hear you go over “Never Ending Performance” and “Wrath of Monoceros Caeli” (Childe’s themes). They are such bizarre combinations of music that end up working really well. For instance, phase 2’s music starts out with a big orchestra with a bit of Russian influence, but devolves into rock chords straight out of Batman Beyond.

Genshin is the kind of game whatever you like it or not you can feel the love of the devs and musicians their put in the game.

Not only is it a good song by itself, but when fighting Azhdaha it really just throws you into a rhythm of gameplay ;u;

Here for the 15th or 16th time now

The music in the game is so good, but I have a hard time listening to the bops as I am always too focused on not dying. It would be interesting if you did an analysis on the wolf boss' as well as childe's boss themes as they are both amazing.

Compared to watching others' reactions to music, yours was so fun to watch especially since you gave reactions that were based on your own knowledge and experience. Not only that, but you also showed how the music could be heard as other types of genres in a very transformative way. Had a great time watching your vid and all I can say is great job and you now have a new subscriber!

Can't wait for you to react to inazuma themes. Especially the overworld themes.

Scharamouce battle theme will be in his reaction soon guyss

One of the few battle themes you hear in their entirety because it takes so long to go through all of azhdaha's HP

If Genshin has one thing, it's music. I was legit in tears as I fought Azhdaha for the first time. The music mixed with the dire situation just had me insanely emotional. I'm no power gamer and I didn't look up his fight beforehand, so I was fighting for my life. I had Zhongli, Ningguang, Ganyu, and Beidou, and towards the end both Beidou and Ganyu were down, Ningguang was extremely low, and I built my Zhongli purely as support so he wasn't doing much damage. But man, right before Ganyu fell, she did her ult and said "For Rex Lapis!" then right after that, she fell and said the one death line that had me in tears. "Rex Lapis, I am sorry..." Not gonna spoil anything for anyone, but those who know who Rex Lapis is...yeah, perfect lines for that situation, isn't it? Zhongli ended up doing the finishing blow. It was just so...insane. I loved every moment of that fight. Now it's not as hard, but that first run was...amazing. Not just because of the fight, but because of the awesome music that added to it all. It's why I love FFXIV's music, too. Mihoyo must've taken a few leaves from FFXIV's book because that's how you make a climatic fight even more climatic.

You're gonna cry when you see honkai soundtracks/future genshin soundtracks 🗿

I don't know as much about music as him, but it's so cool to see someone who really knows music get just as excited about it as a pleb like me lol

i can't keep it to myself when he asked "is this heroic? is this dangerous?" because Azdaha is pretty much both. He was Rex Lapis companion, but because of the erosion, he became dangerous. It's really touched me when Alex asked that because in the lore, in my opinion, Azdaha is one of the Hero of the past. it's really like the quote [You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.]

my god dude. thanks youtube for recommending me your vid cause it's been a long ass time since i (parasocially) jammed so hard with someone. we may be strangers but you gave some real strong 20 minutes of pure happiness; it felt real good to see someone who understands music put into words why i like this theme so much and yea, even though you were so bamboozled half the time you were just making baffled sounds, i still feel like i learned a lot. even if you dont ever see this my dude, i believe that gratefullness should be expressed. thank you :)

Heck yeah my scheduled dose of Alex gushing on the beautiful ost is here. I don't play Genshin Impact but I enjoy its fandom. Love the Noengrish video cameo ❤️
