Okay but the small scene of cloud retainer taking care of and making shenhe happy was so cute

The scene 2:42 when Cloud Retainer said she'd make the best Xiao lantern for Shenhe is pure love. Love to see that momma side of her ❤️

I love how Cloud Retainer is just being a really supporting mother and her "One shall fashion the most bitchin Xiao Lantern for you and if anyone makes fun of you for it, one shall leave one's latest incendiary device by their doorstep" energy.

DO NOT GIVE HU TAO THE AUX CORD

Bro I almost cried when the conductor started playing more lively hearing Madame Ping playing her music. You can see his happiness just from movement alone

A few years ago, most of these characters were basically strangers to each other, we could unlock voice logs of them talking about others, but never really see a lot of em, let alone see them interact. This Lantern Rite shows how far we've gone since then. It almost had everything I wanted for this event. The last thing I have on my Lantern Rite bucket list is to see Hu Tao and Zhongli interact with Qiqi and Baizhu.

1:59 love how guoba (or what the name was of xiangling’s bear)is just vibing with the music 😂

HU TAO'S VERSE IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 PUT IT OUT

Xiao lamenting during lantern rite is totally in character

Seeing Yelan and Xiao continue to work during the Lantren Rite,it feels kind of in their character. At the same time they are lonely, which is a bit sad, I hope that in future updates there will be an event where Yelan and Xiao will celebrate and have fun with others.

Okay can we talk about how Genshin literally nailed the conducting patterns right when Dvorak conducts the orchestra?! That's going above and beyond!

NEVER LET HU TAO COOK AGAIN 🔥 🔥

Why does Zhongli’s “and I think it shall be” seem ominous. 💀 We all know the year of patches can take a turn in just one. Just like The Chasm Quest.

Shenhe: Master. I want a Xiao Lantern. Cloud Retainer: I will make for you child the greatest Xiao Lanturn that will make them green with Envy. Seriously. She's best Birb Mom.

Even if Hu Tao’s rap wasn’t that good, the cutscene was still amazing! Xinyan VA definitely did an AMAZING job

This is my first Lantern Rite that i got to play, i cant put into words how grateful i am for this experience. Thank you all at Hoyoverse for all your hard work. I been looking forward to this event and you never disappoint, i watched all Lantern Rites from previous years and the tears always come in heavy. Thank you so much and Happy Lantern Rite everyone, may this year be a blessed one indeed ♥

It's good to see Xinyan being featured in more and more quests. I hope we get to see more of Amber too, she's one of the earliest characters that guided us into the world of Teyvat !

hu tao and xinyan were the perfect pair we didnt even deserve 😭 and xinyan finally getting the attention she deserves for her talent!

The tune by Madam Ping at 3:08 is really something so different. It is truly magnificent and I’d love to hear her full performance.

Honestly, hu tao’s rap wasn’t AWFUL, the rhymes got lost in translation and is 100% not the voice actors fault, but other then the not amazing rap from hu tao, xinyan’s voice actor KILLED IT! the rasp in her voice while singing was just perfect

Seeing Ganyu as a main character in this quest was, in her own words, long overdue, because what we got was some really nice and desperately needed character development for her. I'm really glad that we as players are finally seeing our positive impact on her self confidence and her sense of belonging among the people of Liyue.

I love how they always find a way to sneak Vlad and Nadia every lantern rite!

This is the reason why I still so love Genshin and Hoyoverse. Their music, their story telling, and the effort they put into this is just too good.

Can't believe its been a year already

I love how they've humanised the adepti over time. Makes them more sympathetical than just really story beasts that hold power.

Every single time I watch any year of the lantern rite, or just simply listening to the music within them, I can't help but get myself teary-eyed. The lantern rite is just simply a beautiful and magnificent event with just the most incredible music.

anyone else coming here after the 4.4 cutscene?

It's just an inspiration to me, It make's me feel like I'm alive again. Honestly I've been feeling sadder these day's but when I heard this I started to feel happy again.

Getting to see my boy Chongyun just existing is always the highlight of the lantern rite festival for me

This whole event was spectacular, emotional, cheerful, heartwarming and hella fun. YaoYao being the cutest, the emotional story of guizhong and Madame ping brought tears to my eyes, seeing all the liyue characters together enjoying the lantern rite festival was just so beautiful. I play Genshin Impact purely for its story, scenery, and music, and till now it has never disappointed me. I’m grateful to have lived in this era where so many wonderful games exist. Thank you Hoyoverse, Wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year !!!! Happy Latern Rite !!!!!

Director's Hu wasn't released it escape 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Idk why this year's cut scene was just so emotional for me I cried every time I watched it and can we just say the lantern rite theme is so sad yet joyous at the same time.

I almost cried when at first I didn't notice Vlad and Nadia, our cutest fatui couple... Luckily I found them at 3:19 lower left of the screen. It was short but I felt really satisfied. This is one of the main reason I wait for Lantern Rite. HAPPY LANTERN RITE EVERYONE! Note* Pause the video first before clicking on the time stamp so you can see. Their appearance is just so brief, not even a second so I suggest you do that.

Hu tao finally getting the screen time less gooo

just here to give to my boy Chongyun the love and appreciation he deserves :(( Can we talk about how cute and excited he was in here?????? Loving his little dance at 0:54 🥺😍 We need to protect that smilee 🥺👏 Also, was he full yang energy?? Let's remember that his yang energy once triggered in one of Xinyan's concerts XD

I genuinely love the lantern rite so much it’s one of the only times you can see all of travelers connections all coming together to celebrate a night of remembrance and joy where all the characters each have a moment to have peace and watch the fireworks. It brings back the memories of the year prior because of the immense joy or peace that was captured in that one special night that only happens once every year. The whole event always has a warm and comforting aroma because the themes are usually lighthearted and sweet (ex. setting up a music festival, helping a friend fit in or work less) the event may be about remembrance but I see it as a time of celebration where you can spend one whole night just being happy with no cares no worries and no problems. Each year a new cut scene comes out with a whole different story but it always ends the same, with fireworks. This is as if to show that it maybe a completely different plot with different “main characters” it’s still the same celebration in the end with the same message. No matter what everyone deserves a night to celebrate even if that’s just sitting down to watch the fireworks or catching up with an old friend. In the end each lantern rite is the same in a way.

I'm so glad Xinyans finally getting the attention she deserves ❤

It is so amazing seeing the most of the Liyue characters all together just enjoying the scenery. This lantern rite was definitely an amazing one.

2:20 WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYED I STARTED BAWLING MY EYES OUT

This is beyond magical! I’m crying with tears of joy! Happy Lantern Rite everyone!!!

Hoyoverse never disappoints us with the cut scenes. Every years is special and new. I hope everyone will have a good 2023 🎉 !

Хранительница Облаков прям точно, как мама для Шень Хэ! Плачу...

seeing all my fav characters together just warms my heart

Man. Lantern Rite is really just like returning home. Always such a good event ahhhh so many emotions 😭💚

Who's also looking for Nadia and Vlad couple? In this cinematic you can find them in crowd at 3:25 (Watch closely on the right side of the scene)

As a xinyan main seeing xinyan getting Screentime again is wonderful, hope to see more like this

KEEP THAT HIDDEN TALENT HIDDEN HU TAO 🔥🔥🔥🔥

THIS IS FIRE.. PUT IT OUT

I really appreciated the VA for Mr. Dvorak, I found his voice very pleasing to hear.

Latern Rite always gets it right. Always brings a story we can all relate to.

DONT LET HER TOUCH A MICROPHONE AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥

I'm just happy we get to hear a proper inkling of Xinyans music!

Liyue has always been and still is my favourite region. I love all these characters so much. It just feels like home. Honestly, Liyue story quests never miss.

I love xinyan she has such an amazing spirit. I’m glad she is finally appearing more

This was so amazing and emotional I can't believe this is already my second ''Lantern rite'' and there will be in alot in the new years coming HAPPY LANTERN RITE TRAVELERS :))

This was my first Lantern Rite and everything was so beautiful... but the moment Dvorak started playing with more passion after hearing Madame Ping's song, I got some tears in my eyes especially because the past 2 years I had an absolute horrible New Year's Eve. This quest in the game, made me feel a little bit of that new year's "magic" even if it's just an illusion for a brief moment.. so thank you.

I literally teared up during this animation. It was an amazing animation and I surly won’t forget it. It’s my first Lantern Rite and I absolutely loved it!! The story was already getting me emotional and then the music? Perfect. Please keep up the good work and a shout-out to all VA’s! You all did an amazing job

There is epilogue in two days. I hope there is an interaction between Venti and Zhongli.

Hoyo really out did themselves this Lantern rite, i had high expectations and they were exceeded. Congratulations. Hope everyone has a wonderful year and hope to see you all next year. 😊

I have an emotional attachment to Liyue. When the characters from Liyue are cheerful it cheers me up. The story of Guizhong (which I personally was very excited for) and this cutscene genshin never disappoint. This was such an amazing lantern rite seeing every character enjoy. It was truly a blessing lantern rite. The story that Liyue characters share is kinda very attached to my heart. I just don't know even words could not define this lantern rite and hoping for a good next one. Happy lantern rite everyone.

WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT 🔥🔥🔥

Dude, I just stop playing Genshin Impact for a while but after seeing this cutscene I wanna go back again. I literally teared up remembering how beautiful this game was. But my A/L exams are coming this year and I have to focus on my studies. I'll be back at next Lantern Rite event. Wish me good luck🙌

Who came here after 4.4 lanter rite?

Xinyan and Hutao's VA must be feeling so happy to voice record this cutscene. Yet again Liyue strikes us with new things every Lantern Rite. Happy New Year Travelers !!!!

It's wonderful how they've woven in all these character appearances despite the ever growing roster Top notch work

Genshin Impact, Thank you for the memories, awards, and many more. I'm here to wish you a blessing on my behalf, stating that everything you have done for us made me grateful and glad. "May all of the hard workers rest soon."

I'm really glad I picked this game up. The kind of stuff they do is really nice, and it feels heartfelt.

This was my first lantern festival and I'm so happy to see my favourite caracthers But at the same time,I'm sad that xiao didn't appear and just kill guardians and monsters,I wanted to celebrate with him as such his banner! But this is so lovely,can't wait next year!!! 🤧🎉🏮🏮

this cutscene was beautiful. I love lantern rite so much! A pity that we didnt see xiao looking at the lanterns but overall this was such a magical event. Happy Lantern Rite!!🏮❤

I love how this game is getting more and more emotional and beautiful every single time passes by

I Love the lantern rite so much, I only stared playing about 5 months ago, but I was so excited for this occasion! I love how this festival just brings everyone together , and everyone just seems so happy and enjoy themselves! Thank you

3:07 Man is conducting without an orchestra lol

I loved this cut scene so much! I feel the Liyue lores and festivals are so beautifully made since it has a home court advantage. Loved seeing all the Liyue characters!!

Seeing cloud retainer rekindle her competitive spirit for constructing amazing things was so sweet, especially after finding out that she used to get super competitive with Guizhong. I'd like to think talking about her old friend made her feel better!

WE FINNA MAKE IT OUT THE HOOD AND BACK INTO THE STREETS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Again the cutscenes just are so beautiful and the song that the VA's did was flawless chef kiss AMAZING LANTERN RITE!!

It’s been 3 years already I still feel like yesterday Also I feel like crying

Thanks for making this! My laptop can’t handle this without lagging both the video and audio so this is a godsend!

This scene never get old when ever there is a lantern right coming i will always get excited

I need to go back to this game. The Liyue events are always amazing. The soundtrack is just pure gold.

Absolutely loved the music focus on this lantern rite! I felt the same as Dvorak, tearing up at the cutscenes lmao This was my first lantern rite and I'm so glad I finally got to be part of this beautiful event 💜

Aslong as they keep doing the cutscenes longer im happy, need allot more then they currently have

Genshin never fails to give me goosebumps with their cutscenes.My laptop can't handle cutscenes for god knows what reason.So I just watch it on KZfaq.But boy do I wish I could've watched in my laptop.Genshin never disappoints me with events.Thsnk you

Меня повеселил тот факт, что Чжун Ли выпросил мультиварку у хранителя облаков, что бы с друганами сварить супец. Замечательный праздник, всё как в жизни)

Я увидела, как Влад и Надя очередной праздник морских фонарей проводят вместе, сразу стало спокойнее на душе ❤

Started playing in August 2022,so this is my first ever lantern rite.I must say I'm rlly impressed with how well written the story is.I'll look forward for more events like this in the future

This was just so beautiful and heartwarming to watch. Wishing everyone a happy lantern rite!

another best lantern rite event ever :(..it hurts when the quest ended i wish i could repeat it it was really beautiful every character got there scene and madam ping and guizhong too the story was so sad but the art was visually amazing ..

all the animations, even in the background are so smooth and well done. Guoba vibing is adorable

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Happy Lantern Rite everyone! Genshin’s cutscenes get better and better aha. 💕 What a great end to a sweet story. It was nice to see everyone in Liyue again.

Omg yelan loves nigguang when beidou said" I can't miss out on that" yelan didn't like the hear of this so she leaves with anger or guilt something like that😱😱look closely the hole conversation yelan is listening and also u can hear closely yelan said "hemh" when she leaves

Cutscenes like this make me so excited for the upcoming anime adaptation, I really hope it can capture the same kind of magic.

it's the time of the year again, lantern rite is coming this 4.4, time flies really fast. It's nostalgic. It's my 3rd lantern rite this year, to more years with y'all travelers!

This brings smile to my face. Heart warming cutscreen.

this cutscene was so long but so worth it 😭 can’t wait for cutscenes in fontaine and future regions

Gouba is the one who notice us first 0:39 . So cute 😄

Mihoyo, You literally bring me the joy I need every year now with out fail. I was wondering how you would top last years Lantern rite, and this year without a doubt you have succeeded once again. You even gave me the singing and music cut scene I have been waiting for. And to top it off its dubbed in 4 languages. I can not wait for the 4 Lantern Rite. Happy Chinese New Year.

I finally get too see this cutscene with sound! Also, happy Lantern Rite to everyone and happy Chinese New Year to those who celebrates it! Hope you have a good day and a good life in this year!

xinyan’s voice is amazing i’m literally floored
