Insignificant uwuu
The thing I love about Xiao’s demo; while the other characters are given sort of like a slow and gradual setting-up scene to introduce them, maybe some lines, but Xiao’s introduction just feels right-in-your-face and so abrupt. You can feel the impact in his landing. I like to think that reflects his character who doesnt like wasting time and gets straight to the point xD
Edit: 18:51 you can get any character really no matter what your progress is. The only problem is some characters require items that are region-specific to level up, but this can be solved by playing co-op with friends whove unlocked those newer regions ^_^
You X Pause Button uwu very nice ship 😳😳
Xiao is an awesome character but somewhat hard to play. When his normally ability (that 'teleportation') is used, he's fine but when his special ability is active, he puts on a mask and actually looses health because of it. He's constantly in pain, all his friends are dead and (SPOILER!) only Zhongli aka Rex Lapis aka Geo Archon is alive. He gave Xiao the power to protect the world, so dude stays alive and slaughters demons and other enemies so that only he will suffer because of the karma. And that's the reason why I stopped maining him: he deserves some rest in the serenitia pot (sorry for maybe incorrect names, I play with another language)
Keep killing it bro! Glad to see you hitting that algorithm hard
At this point you might want to look at either the Klee or Hu Tao trailers, since they go for something more playful. Would love to see a breakdown of fun.
Xiao's lore is heartbreaking and you can't help but feel bad for him. You should rewatch his trailer in chinese, but that's merely my preference.
the Story Teaser: Yaksha, Guardian Adepti, can provide more context to Xiao's prepetual agony, it could be worth a watch
Amazing video!! React to Kazuha next!!!
The Philip x Pause button ship. The S.S. PP
Give a shot to the animations from Honkai Impact 3rd, they are really worth watching.
Genshin is good. But Honkai Impact has better storytelling and character development. Should check it out.
I recommend the hu tao trailer next
I have Xiao, and he's my main eheh
I really love him, he's quite the complex character imo. He does look cold at first sight but he's really caring…
The english version make him sound more aggressive than he is. In Chinese, he's actually pretty soft spoken and calm when he talks, even when he attacks
Also, if you haven't seen Albedo's trailer, I think you should react to it!
The fact that u can describe a character just from their trailer is mind boggling!!!
When he is not wearing his mask, it rests upon his belt.
He keeps seldom, away from others as the demon inside only knows blood, and at times, that is all he can see in himself.
Can you do Albedo?
The Karmic binds are an actual thing to his character and story. It basically is something along the lines of "the more he kills, the more pain is inflicted on him." Also a little thing I wanted to note is at the end, where his mask disperses and it pans out and he becomes smaller, while Liyue becomes bigger. It also really adds to his character. Out of everyone in Liyue, even the other adepti and Zhongli, he is the one that works the hardest to protect Liyue. He has a chaotic presence that is portrayed really well in his demo – with all the constant different shots and movement – and it comes off as powerful and demanding. But when all is said and done, he is just one person in the vast land that is Liyue, which he holds on his shoulders.
Every other character of Liyue has a lot more lighter and calmer tones. There is combat in them and such, but out of all of them, Xiao is the one depicted in this endless fighting engulfed in darkness. I think it really does an amazing job showing off his character.
I was literally rewatching this demo today and thought "hey I think Philip would like this one" that's crazy
Albedo's rerun has been comfirmed by Mihoyo so it would be very cool if you did the a review on the Albedo trailer so you can get to know him better before you decide wether to pull on his banner or not. Albedo is from Mondstat so everyone gets a chance to farm for his materials.
Please do Hu Tao and Ayaka next! Thank you
I love how Xiao has the mask on his face and on his hip at the same time
I'm so happy you did this one:D i think you'll like albedo a lot too!
The EN dub doesn't do Xiao's character any justice, it makes him sound like an angry, edgy teen reveling in violence when he's exactly the opposite. He's a tragic figure carrying the weight of eons of slaughter on his soul, but he remains a kind, caring, watchful guardian of Liyue even if it means he has to continue fighting for eternity. The other language dubs convey this better.
Xiao simp right here! <3 Where's my fellow simps at?
also reacts to the short animations from Honkai impact 3 (it's a game also made by mihoyo)
PS: Look for the final lesson
Xiao is in fact a being known as an adeptus, a divine deity beast if you would. But not just any, he's a Yaksha, a warrior that serves under a contract with the Geo Archon to protect Liyue from vengeful spirits/gods. He's constantly in pain because of what he went through in his past(thus the dark red and black aura and tendrils). In Liyue he's known as the Vigilant Yaksha & Conquer of Demons. There were 4 others like him but sadly he all that's left in this endless war. He also has the ability to manipulate and devour dreams too. Xiao's mask holds a lot of his power too but using it now causes him pain but he has no choice. He can be sharp-tongued and blunt but he actually has a good heart(I compare him to a chestnut. Prickly outside, soft inside).
Xiao is an adepti. The adepti have protected the land of Liyue even before the founding of the nation as such. Morax is an adeptus and he founded Liyue. "Rex Lapis" is the title the people of Liyue use to show their respect for him.
I view adepti as mythical beings who are long-lived and rather powerful. Not all of them specialize in combat, but Xiao certainly does. He's been around for many wars and always experienced bloodshed in the thick of it.
As for the "karmic binds", your guesses were pretty spot on. There are many powerful entities in the world of Teyvat. There are still lingering effects after killing them. Xiao tries to disperse the accumulated malice because bad things happen if it's left to fester on its own. However, you can't clean up without getting dirty yourself. He has to shoulder the grudges from all those he killed throughout the eons. That would do a number on anyone, but it's even worse in this world because said grudges seep into the mind and can drive one insane, monsters and people alike.
Xiao is very resilient for not succumbing to this madness. The mask does give him power, but it's not cursed. He suffers because he used his power to vanquish countless foes. Those feelings of grudge and malice are obviously stronger when he's going about vanquishing even more foes and wielding his power.
As far as I can tell, everyone has to deal with karma and past grudges in some way. It's not a specific curse from the mask. Other characters simply deal with it differently.
“his pain” that’s one way to put his past and himself
The character i want most is Scaramouche but hes not even confirmed by mihoyo to be playable in the future yet, But they would cut themselfs in the flesh so much if they wouldnt make him playable so….Hopes are up
