The music in Genshin Impact never disappoints.
Here, the London Symphony plays the main theme of the nation of Fontaine (#1) as well as a battle theme (#2). Fontaine is a water-themed nation ruled by the Hydro Archon and heavily inspired by France, from its environmental design to a story that appears to heavily focus on justice, mystery, and stage magic, and I think both pieces expertly capture these thematic elements:
- Use of the glass harp and glass harmonica, both of which need water to function, to create a sense of mystery.
- Many cascades of notes throughout both pieces resembling waterfalls.
- Highlights of traditional instruments, like the accordion, to elevate that French influence.
- Rapid and unpredictable tempo to create that sense of mystery and underlying tension. Many parts recall Harry Potter or stage magic tricks.
