Hoyo seems to add a performer character in each nation any way, but for Natlan I can imagine a Grass dancer, this depends on what different cultures will be in Natlan, there is the more obvious but if they add Native American culture then I think this could be a good option. From what my mom told me I believe they are mostly male however its possible for women to also be grass dancers, and dances were performed after a victory over the enemy. I can imagine that this character would be dendro and a bow or catalyst user. There's also the Aztec dancers, the feathers they wear in their regalia are amazing so if they add this to a character I can imagine them being either pyro or anemo, mostly betting on pyro because this sounds most visually appealing and they could be a bow or polearm user.

Isn't Lan the Hunt a surviving leviathan who also ascended to become an aeon? or maybe i misread it somewhere

I cannot thank you enough for saying Xbalanque’s name right 🙏

I really like the idea of getting to play as the Tribe Leaders, I think that at least 1 of them is very likely to happen. Maybe we can get a Phoenix inspired character too since Natlan is the Pyro nation. They could have a built in glider to there kit maybe as their non combat talent.

I’ve had this theory ever since people had speculated that benett was from Nathan and since he left he became unlucky. Imagine we help solve whatever problem in Natlan that’s keeping its people from leaving, we break the curse and benett unluckiness goes away and he becomes stronger (possibly 5 star benett). This is a reach and only a theory so pls don’t come for me but just imagine

I would argue that among the Aeons, Aha, and Akivili were the most "free," because their paths coincide the most with freedom. Akivili's path of Trailblaze is all about freedom and exploration, so THEY had almost as much freedom as a mortal would. Aha's path of Elation is all about taking joy and pranks of all things, so THEY can basically do whatever, as long as it's sufficiently funny. THEIR paths are broad enough to allow THEM an approximation of free will.

6:09 but Haitham is too lazy and just wants to sit on his sofa

1:20 every time I hear “echo” I think of wuthering waves 😂

Do you remember how Nymph's Dream don't just foreshadowed Fontaine, but acted as a semi-prequel, as well? A setup, I mean. Well, I think we can expect the same with the Unfinished Reverie. In other words: TREASURE HUNT!!!

I think humans in genshin evolved from cats or/and wolves since they seem to have some characteristics of those animals in their recessive genes and we also haven't seen monkeys but it seems more possible that the species they evolved from just had similar characteristics to those animals

The Aeon that literally ATE ✨💅

I have two things I wish to discuss. 1.) it’s definitely a likely possibility that the Tribe Leaders will be called Chieftains/Chieftesses. And considering how there was a Grand Sage for Sumeru, I wonder if there’ll be an equivalent to Natlan? 2.) There’s a possibility that Murata is indeed the current Archon. And she might have something to do with the Natlan curse. When Venessa’s tribe left Natlan, they appear to have stopped telling stories of Murata, almost as if … they forgot their Archon, what if that’s the curse? Considering how it deals with memory loss, suggests the effect of Irminsul tampering. It’s kind of a combination of Sumeru and Fontaine’s issues. A Nation where the people of the Nation are inflicted with workings of Irminsul. Leaving the Nation of Pyro will turn your memories of that Nation into ash, and this can be connected to Bennett. “This baby must be a child abandoned by the world itself.” This is how the man who found Bennett described him, and a world abandoning a child would only be probable if the Irminsul was involved. What if Bennett left his home nation Natlan, and the amnesia curse was set upon Bennett, only to find out that this newborn child had a memory of Natlan that the Irminsul could not tamper with, so the curse adapted into a serious of unfortunate mishaps as the next best alternative. (A lot of guesswork there, I know, but I might as well get crazy with my Natlan theories and hope something sticks!)

This weeks livestream hope contains natlan teaser 👌 excited for the livestream

Very excited to see natlan character designs!

To add to the video I'd like to say what Argenti said in 2.3 comparing Sunday and Dominicus to his fallen comrade, it felt like Knights of Beauty function like Magical Girls from Madoka Magica

the only thing I want is a Carnaval dancer character full of feathers, jewels and a colorful costume If I have this I will be happy

In the movie Rio the bird tribes treated the game of Football/Soccer as a form of warfare. I wonder if Natlan might do the same. It would give Natlan a very unique gameplay.

ugjjbjj

As a Black/Hispanic player I'm terrified for how they'll illustrate the playable characters and history. If the cast takes names and cultural aspects of latin america and west africa history yet they're all pale I'll be disappointed. The pyro archon leaks don't help my dilemma. We know from the genshin comic that the people of Natlan were once enslaved by the Mondstadt aristocrats, which makes me wonder if they'll mention it when we reach Natlan. I also hope the pyro travler has cool powers.

I love your content sm

6:09 isnt it Yae on inazuma?

Talking about Natlan is gonna make cant wait to see Grand Master Varka, imagine the act of Archon Quest actually starting around Varka's expedition

What if plot twist, murata is still murata? Maybe everytime death strike her, she will reborn with totally memory loss and new identity. Hence xbalanque is immortal. He act as guidance and advisor for millennial. Thats why this current pyro archon is young girl character. She been reborn. Hence the chapter name “Incandescent ode of resurrection “ kinda make sense?

an anemo shielder would be nice if strong enough Waht also would be nice is a hydro claymore user possibly one of the tribe leaders but honestly an advaturer whos wanting to be free and moove without careing about borders sounds like a short anemo boy lmao just saying

we gonna get an artist fs

Technically, wouldn't Yae Miko be the second since she's the head shrine maiden and it's above the tri commissions?

The Saurians give such strong Monster Hunter vibes and i love it!! In MH there exists hunters that hunt monsters and protect people but on reverse there's riders that raise monsters and fight alongside them.

The Central and South America cultures mixed with African cultures are making a juicy slow cooked stew of Gordon Ramsey deliciousness. Oh I can't wait!!

I have a weird speculation that xbal may actually be dendro and have a burning theme

I’m really hoping we get Vennessa in Natlan. She ascended to Celestia, so we know she isn’t dead. I’ve speculated before, but I think she will be an Anemo sword user that focuses on plunging like Xiao and Kazuha. It would be sick if her skill/burst incorporated falcon wings since she’s the Falcon of the West (or bird wings in general because I know the translation is a little off for “falcon” so she might not be that).

Imagine Natlan being like the first how to train your dragon. With some hunting and others living in harmony with dragons.

an anemo shield would be very useful! to break conventions i think it should swirl any element that would hit the shield….like how jean’s anemo infusion works

I'm thinking some sort of Shaman/Priestess might be Playable. Perhaps acting as a Healer. Perhaps we will see some kind of Hunter character as well. I'm hoping we will see plenty of Aztec/Mayan/Incan character designs. Evidently, there will be some African characters which I hope is also true. But, since we likely won't see much in the way of Natlan NPCs; I'm hoping the HUB City will be mostly Aztec/Mayan/Incan. Or maybe each district/portion of the City represents each Tribe. I also hope we get to meet at least 1 Natlan character in 4.8.

(LEAK WARNING!!!!! SCROLL AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!) Personally, I dont like this “leaked design” of the Pyro archon, Im Latina and from regions Natlan is based off and were are not happy about her being a c*nquistador. Our relationship with Spain is complicated due to the massive abuse that happened to our people and how more than half of my and other countries culture were lost in the process. From the main airport there was a leaked conversation of a Spanish pilot being extremely racist of the way we talk, and its not the first incident of people from the first world country to call us “monkeys” or something that will put us down to them. Currently in Mexico there are a lot of gringos (Americans) trying to ban Mexican music because they are so obsessed on making Mexico their perfect vacation home and we want them to return home because its not fair we have to step our culture aside for a countries that have a “better” situation. Making our representative god based on such horrible people is… a choice. As bad as putting Nahida as a British colonizer. But hey this is my opinion! If you like her design you do you, just please dont defend it. There are so many gods of war in Aztec, Mayan and Inca mythology, so that’s why the disappointment, thank you for reading this!

Imagine we finally get Xiangling and Bennett powercreep in Natlan…

Good natlan theory video. Bennette and iansan have a different thing. Iansan have a elf ears similar to klee, nahida and layla. I wish we can know why natlan people never leave their nation in the future. I wish we can see the varka expedition forces Still waiting for natlan anemo boy. What natlan foods they gonna show to us. What personality of natlan archon gonna be. Other than south american and african culture what other tribe ref culture it will gonna be. We gonna say goodbye to fontaine arc and say hello to natlan arc.

I like to think that Iansan is a geo character. They seems energetic. Random throw. Maybe Bennet's parents moved away from Natlan and caused them bad luck that is passed down from generation to generation. That's why Bennet is unlucky. What if 6 of 7 the elements Natlan characters teach to us movement mechanics. Cryo will be left out because when Cryo Nation comes.. sometimes... it has its own things. Ice skating..(joke)

ah maaan i absolutely LOOOVE the last months before a new nation drops!! i love going on theory vidoe sprees every day about the upcoming nation, i love re-watching old theories, and cutscene reactions from the current nation to relive the nostalgia, AAHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR NATLAN!! i am so ready to pull for iansan the moment she drops <3 I can't wait to see more Natlan crumbs in the 4.8 special program! ALSO I LOVE THE ARCHAEOLOGIST CHARACTER IDEA!! I myself used to be an archaeology nerd, so that would be so cool. Awesome video!

I love these videos so much! Am truly excited for Natlan and also see how your speculations play out.

Hi, just wanna say, your editing needs to be appreciated ! Keep it up :D

The reason they’re always at war could be as simple as that there the nation of war so there must always be a war going on

Very excited about Natlan Archon

Half of a side note, but in regard to potential playable characters, we should hopefully get our first Hydro Claymore, more specifically in 5.1, because in x.1 of every version a new element weapon combo was released, and also it was the odd number versions which gave us hydro characters.

If Natlan is inspired by the America continent and their native cultures, maybe your adventurer character can be a reference to christopher columbus. He can be the opposite side of the coin to the traveler. While the traveler goes to places and respects people, the adventurer goes to places and disrespects the natives

How funny would it be if Natlan finally gave us our first Hydro Claymore user and he ends up being a Surfer who uses his own sword as a Surfboard since surfing is very common in Latin American countries

I’m super excited for Natlan I feel like the archon quest is going to be really good and I’m hopeful that there will be more diversity among the characters there too

Engaged

I didn't know about this yet 😮 wow

Xianzhou worldbuilding is my favorite.

i love watching outdated lore theories, cause the current ones always sound so plausible that it isn't until I rewatch some old ones that I remember not to take them too seriously :v
