"Furina: The Unseen Sacrifice" | Mini-Movie (Genshin Impact)

Zhongli: I mustn't let the common folk suffer Raiden: I make common folk suffer Venti: I am common folk Nahida: I suffer Furina: I suffer with common folk

Furina and Focalor are some of the best archons we have seen so far. They gave up the biggest things that someone has to save their people from something neither their people or themselves did. Focalor gave up her live, and Furina gave up her own self to protect them and save them from being water.

Given the context we have now, I understand why Furina was so eager to “duel” the Traveler from the minute we get to Fontaine. She heard of the Traveler’s deeds across the nations and believed they may be the one who will grant her the grand trial. So provoking a duel wasn’t her trying to make an enemy of us, but a desperate attempt to finally get the trial she’s been waiting 500 years for😢

Furina was basically the quote: "The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing". She is amazing.

- given a mission to act as archon - cursed as immortal as long, focalor is alive - not given any power or vision from focalor - deceived by her archon by not telling the full plan - forced lying to fontaine citizen for 500 years - 500 years full of depression and suffering, carrying the archon job alone over and over as human with mental burden. while cannot depend on the others, hopefully neuvillete helped her - bullied by the knave - more depressed after the dissolve of possion people but cannot do anything - backstabbed by her friends and citizen, and force her to the court, without they knew they just fullfiling the prophechy - bcz she didn't know the full plan, after the secret revealed, and senteced to death. She's think the effort she's did for 500 years is meaningless. She's snapped and her mental is broke. - after the disaster, no one appreciates her effort, actually some people still hate her for deceiving them. - neuviliete guarantee her livings, but only given small house, doing living thinga alone while can only cook macaroni everyday - still have trauma and ptsd aftermath, the guilt from the dissolving people still haunt her - stupid paimon still roast her even at story quest 😅 Someone give her a therapy.. that's to much

I just realized Furina attended almost every single trials at opera, hoping that will be the "magnificent and dramatic trial" she have been promised. And she did get one at the end...

Furina may not be the archon, but she was definitely without a doubt deserved the title. For 500 fucking years she put up with with suffering just so there could be a way to save her nation. And in the end she did. She deserved happiness

I just realised - the prophecy states 'only the Hydro Archon will remain, weeping on her throne', and it's mentioned that the prophecy is the only thing truly 'real'. And in the last cutscene, Furina is shown weeping on the throne. Furina was considered the Hydro Archon here, despite just being the humanity of Focalors. It basically proves that she was truly worthy of that title. I'm really glad she's finally been relieved of her loneliness after those 500 years, the quest made me tear up 😭

The saddest part is that during the "flashback" reenactment, there's literally "no one" in the whole theater. It really feels hollow. And she lived that through for 500 years.

This is refreshing. Feels like this is the 1st main quest where the nation was saved by it's archon and we only played a supporting role in the events that happened in Fontaine. Wish Furina was given enough closure to make us feel fulfilled with the resolution. It felt like we only made things difficult for her till the end.

16:31 This is literally psychological horror

15:38 Furina sounds like she's holding back tears... I wonder if her mortal mind can remember at least more than 20 generations of Fontainians who actively seeking for audiences with their archon. No matter what the answer might be, it will be sad.

Wow, the traveler is like the antagonist to the savior in this Archon quest.

I LOVE her story, she is an amazing character. To think that at the start we all thought she was just a spoiled brat, in the end she was sacrificing everything for the sake of others. All that suffering and no one to share her secret with, no one to confide in. 500 eternal years.

Big hug to everyone who cried during this quest. Big hug to Furina. Big hug to Neuvi. Big hug to everyone 🥺🤗

She felt devastated because she was defenitely thinking that she had failed and everyone was going to die because of her failiure. :c

to realise the words she said in the fountain in 4.0/4.1 about being 'so lonely... how much longer?' wasnt about being left alone on the throne, but instead about suffering all alone by putting on this act for so long and she just couldnt bare pretending to be someone shes not

The Unseen Sacrifice is of course my favorite part of the Archon Quest, just the story alone is perfect, Sure the prophecy was kind of a waste however it could been true if it wasn't for Focalors' sacrifice, learning the prophecy alone and story about how most of the fontainians are Oceanids, even Focalors is just a mind blowing thing.

You can see the emotional suffering Furina endured from being able to honestly smile to not even realizing she was in tears until it was pointed out to her..this may have been just as cruel if not worse than what happened to Nahida..Nahida was Physically imprisoned but through dreams she could still be herself..Furina however was always being watched she wasn't allowed to slip up not once for centuries else everything would've been vain. In the end to Furina all of her efforts were in vain until the prophecy had an unexpected outcome. But in the end was all that suffering and emotional torture truly worth it only to grow old and die alone and essentially hated by so many of the people she was trying to save? This reminds me of one of those ancient greek tragedies that we'd hear about in school...this was a tale of Sacrifice nothing more nothing less.

Everyone in fontaine need apologize to furina honestly, especially the one that critisize her for first time.
