Xiao's backstory reminds me of Artorias from DS1…Their duty was to purge all evil and fight off the abyss but after fighting evil for so long they could easily become corrupted
Hopefully the genshin anime will have the same or maybe even better kind of animation. Hoyo flexing how good they can animate. We can just imagine how good Ufotable will be able to animate it.
Oh and everyone was saying not to rush to Inazuma and do Liyue/Mondstadt exploration and story quests first due to the same reason of not completely understanding the character lore. In my opinion rushing the archon quests and not doing anything else gets boring after you finish them and have to revisit the previous nations for doing all the side/story quests. It's better to do everything as they appear for me.
love the reaction of qiqi lmao i know you're a huge qiqi fan xD .
No spoilers but when you see him only in liyue archon quest, maybe you will see his similarities with sasuke but after playing his story quest, lantern rite, and the chasm chapter, also reading his character lore, maybe you will start to see that they're not that similar. Especially bc i play in jp voice and sometimes cn, xiao doesn't come off as an edgelord, but rather calm and distant
I relate so much to your Qiqi feelings. She was my first 5 star and Xiao my second and man is he a glass cannon, Qiqi seriously was carrying him back from the brink constantly.
glad that i used my guaranteed for Xiao in 2.4
made me lose all my saved primogems intended for Ganyu
and force to buy $100 to get Ganyu
lucky that i got Ganyu in 60 pulls and 20 pulls for Zhongli
2.4 is my luckiest patch
Not spoiler but Venti and Xiao are friend. They knew each other because Venti frequently visit Zhongli in the past and befriend his adepti. Xiao voice lines about Venti indicate he know him and If you get Xiao nameplate read the description.
Trivia: Archon visiting other region consider as trespassing and national visit (Zhongli character story 5). Venti can roam Liyue (Zhongli vice versa as he freely roam Mondstadt during Liyue AQ) base on trust and tacit understanding.
Venti has saved Xiao before so Xiao really respects him and his music :))
there is a new Honkai Chronicles out, it came out a day after you reacted to the other ones
there's a story teaser-Yakshas: The Guardian Adepti, This was released before xiao's first released, Check it out if you haven't seen it yet. you can learn a bit about the curse.
The part regarding Qiqi and Xiao might be in the game books or Qiqi’s character info. It’s not really discussed in game so I don’t think it’s a spoiler.
Qiqi is adorable!!! She's one of my favorites characters too!!
I didn't expect to see Venti talking to Xiao, now I'm curious to see more!! I like Venti!
Hey Blaze, a lot of the connections between characters aren't enacted in story quests, but through their voicelines. That's how people find connections plus trailers/demos. You just need to go to the Voiceover in your character screen to listen because they have dialog about other characters and stuff. It be cool if you do a reaction video on that. You also need to increase friendship with characters to listen to more voicelines.
I hate how ppl call him the edge lord, in reality he's not edgy at all. calling him edgy just sounds like making his pain invalid, that he's overreacting but truthfully he really isn't, he has suffered more than most people and thats not something you can just get over and be all happy about it
When I saw the trailer for the first time, I thought it was a promo to the Genshin anime because of how good the animation was at the start.
qiqi solos
Not a spoiler- when xiao was suffering from inner karmic binds one night, it was wind of dihua flute blown by venti from afar that soothed him down and the only things that make him forget his pain for a while. That's why you can see venti playing flute in one of xiao's old teaser
This is not a spoiler but some things like the qiqi and Xiao thing only exist in their voicelines. So it’s not in lore. You have to listen to the voicelines if you wanna know more about them.
"The Sasuke of Genshin Impact"
You couldn't be more right.
What happened to thr honkai trailers?
Ayaka also has a short trailer 🙂 they both have cool backstories, plus amazing animation and music
Being Xiao is P A I N..
It's hard to believe that his voice actor is female. Fantastic job!
Qiqi is stronk af but also, venti and xiao are acquainted. In lore Venti’s music helped save xiao but he’s lucky to have 2 archons watching over him.
Ur right qiqi is so cute
Not really spoiler unless you really dig
Basically it was from what I remember Xiao was fighting his battles and qiqi was caught in the middle of it and ☠️. So the adeptus tried to revive her became a uncontrollable zombie from the Adeptal power and couldnt handle the power and so they trapped her in Amber for a very long time and Hu tao found her in it and wanted to bury her cuz shes a zombie and the power was controlled now and she ended up with Baizhu somehow after running from Hu Tao
It's never stated in the game if it was Xiao or not. But yeah not really spoiler unless u really really dig
I never dug that deep and would have never known this if people didn't say it on the internet
the venti part in this trailer was HUGE i didnt expect that
its sooooo nice to finally see someone who loves qiqi as well, she is way too hated T-T
Baizhu yes will be a future character for gameplay
My favorite xiao vA is in Japanese one, matsuoka (seiyuu of kirito)
baizu is not as innocent as it seems in the game. There is another twist about him.
1:15 He is so pretty 😭😭😭😭
I'll copy paste a comment that I found in a different video:
" Xiao cannonically interacting with Venti makes their lore feel all the more special. Lorewise, Xiao didn't succumb to karma on his darkest day because of Venti's influence and his beautiful flute song. That day Venti freed him in a way, that's what he does.
And now he keeps looking out for him in Morax's stead whenever the karma is getting unbearable for Xiao. “it’s good to take off the mask every once in a while…”
ALSO for those who don't know:
During Lantern Rite is when the hatred and residual might of the gods that were defeated by Morax during the Archon War reaches the most extreme level in Liyue. Because of this, Xiao has to perform the time-honored "Nuo Dance of Evil Conquering," and so he fights NIGHT AND DAY during the Lantern Rite. This makes Venti's words even more meaningful here.
What is happening in this trailer is the mental toll the karma puts onto Xiao. He doesn't see himself when we fends off monsters or fights remnants of gods, during the fights he performs his duty and sees his enemies clearly. When he sees himself in this trailer its because he passes out after defeating some enemy and has nightmares about his biggest fears – descending to madness or succumbing to his own karma. It's a personification of his inner struggles and also his fears, since the karma lead the rest of his Yaksha friends to their demise. "
Xiao's life honestly sucks. We must protect pogokid.
Nobody:
Qiqi: (just appears the only way she knows best)
Everybody: ❤️ 😘💕 💜

The only playable yaksha adeptus we've gotten tbh….
Qiqi and Xiao do have some history. Prepare the depresso espresso though. I'll only say that much.
Venti is just Xiao's uncle…as far as fandom memes go.
