Fischl and the Fatui Leitmotif (Genshin Impact Analysis)

Seriously, has no one else noticed that Fischl shares a leitmotif with the Fatui Harbingers? If it’s up to me to bring it to light, I will.

All of the songs in this video come from Genshin Impact! You can listen to them in Genshin’s official YouTube channel or on Spotify. Here are the tracks I used (and their respective albums) in order of appearance:
“Sieh an, mein Sommernachtgarten!” (The Stellar Moments, Vol. 1)
“Phantasm Suite” (The Shimmering Voyage, Vol. 2, Disc 3)
“Wrath of Monoceros Caeli” (The Shimmering Voyage, Vol. 1, Disc 3)
“Saltatio Favillae” (Islands of the Lost and Forgotten, Disc 3)
“Chrysalis Suspirii” (Islands of the Lost and Forgotten, Disc 3)
“Wreck of Eternal Bane” (The Shimmering Voyage, Vol. 2, Disc 1)
“Elogia Cinerosa” (The Shimmering Voyage, Vol. 2, Disc 3)
“Polumnia Omnia” (The Unfathomable Sand Dunes, Disc 3)*
*At the time of editing this video, we didn’t have the name for Shouki no Kami’s battle theme. I took the audio straight from the game.
