Genshin Impact: All You Should Know about Fontaine (1) -- Background Information

Since the reveal of the official trailer [The Final Feast] in early July, the characters from Fontaine made a grand entrance, capturing all the attention. This article will summarize all the relevant information known from the current episode and will give some preview of the Fontaine plot.

Prototype:

The prototype of "Fontaine" is the town of Fontainebleau in France, meaning "beautiful spring water". It is renowned for its beautiful forest, the Forest of Fontainebleau, which covers a vast area and has been a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, especially rock climbers and hikers. The forest's sandstone boulders and rocky formations have made it a world-famous destination for bouldering, attracting climbers from all over the globe.

Location & Scenery: 

As Fontaine's geographic location mentioned in the game, It is located in the center of Tivat, the west of Liyue and northwest of Sumeru, roughly to the left of the Brightcrown Mountains and Bishui Plain.

It is known as the "Nation of Justice", under the domain of the Hydro Archon [Focalors]. Justice is the guiding ideal of Fontaine, as Freedom is for Mondstadt or Eternity is for Inazuma.

Currently, Fontaine is the most developed nation in the industrial aspect of Teyvat. The overall technological level of the country should be equivalent to the Steam era in the real world. In the storyline of Genshin Impact, devices such as the Kamera, Film, and the Thundering Pulse Ballista, which can control the launch of Electro elements, all have their origins traced back to Fontaine.

The architectural design in Fontaine would likely draw inspiration from the steam-powered equipment and industrial elements of the Industrial Revolution, incorporating utilitarian designs, exposed materials like metal and brick, and a steampunk aesthetic.

Additionally, Fontaine is characterized by [the Nation of Hydro] in the storyline. A significant portion of its landscape is characterized by water environments, possibly drawing inspiration from Italy's Venice region in its design. Therefore, the design of Fontaine City may resemble the concept of a "city on water" or a "floating city".

Gameplay Preview:

In Port Ormos in Sumeru, we can learn from NPCs that there are diving certificates in Fontaine. Based on this information, it is reasonable to speculate that in future innovative updates or region explorations in Fontaine, there might be a possibility of requiring players to obtain a diving certification to explore the underwater world.

Just like how we learned how to fly in Mondstadt, it's not implausible to imagine that we might learn how to dive in Fontaine. If that happens, we could potentially explore the underwater world, making our adventures even more diverse and exciting.
