    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!)
  • @pigking7879
    The way you said Arlecchino is sooo satisying "Arrrlecchino" 🥰
  • @jacobgym
    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

    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)
  • @Isabelle-mp8rk
    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
  • @confusedfrog294
    I love this take on Arlecchino’s mentality, and it was very interesting to watch!
  • @tduxx
    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 !
  • @Suited_Nat
    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 :)
  • @luunivaa

  • This is so Interesting, I'm Glad I started play Genshin, this is all thanks to Arlecchino XD
