"Endless Suffering" Short Trailer | Genshin Impact
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 01. 2023
- Long ago, there were people in Liyue Harbor who caught a glimpse of a shadow.
This solitary shadow was fleeting, and would quickly conceal himself amongst the lanterns.
All the hardships in the world have a name. This one is a millennium of doom that cannot be quelled nor eradicated.
Even the occasional respite is but ephemeral, and cannot give rise to hope.

Venti’s sentence about taking the mask off was excellent. Because i definitely think he’s talking about both himself and Xiao. Venti isn’t the happy go lucky bard he pretends to be in mondstadt all the time, and i’m looking forward to seeing way more of him being serious. Also, this trailer was so damn good.
I think he is more referring to getting a break from duty and taking care of yourself. While Venti is not actually active as an archon he probably still looks for the people and controls the winds in Mondstadt. I don't get why people say Venti's joyfulness is a lie. Usually people who are geniuses or had suffered in the past tend to be the most eccentric. If Venti truly was only being wise and calm it would make his personality kinda shallow. I enjoy that he has many facets of his character. Caring and wise but also humorous and cunning. It reminds me of characters like Dumbledore or Avatar Aang.
I hope one day we can see the archons fighting all together a greater evil
@@LadyNightFury1 People say it's a lie because Venti is the only archon actively hiding stuff from us without giving us a reason. Zhongli has at least given a reason, whereas Venti knows stuff that would help us with information that he's avoiding telling us. It also doesn't help that he's deterred the conversation on multiple occasions and has also participated in some very suspicious actions. He also had close ties to the Tsaritsa in the past that hasn't been expanded on and anyone who acts joyful and happy all the time while also having participated in things such as the archon war and fall of khaenri'ah are going to come across as disingenuous
It's clear why Venti hasn't had his second archon quest yet. Venti is currently one of the characters with the most sus things tied to their character.
You are thinking way too much into Venti. It is only about Xiao
@@joekickass8943 shallow thinking lmao
Xiao and Balladeer have the most interesting story in the whole game so far. Their past is full of emotions and their story always gives me goosebumps.
Agreed
as expected from short, traumatized Anemo boys :')
for me it's still kazuha but i do think these two also have amazing lore
@@kaeioshi same. kazuha lore is my most favorite
U forgot collei
2:21 Personally, *this* was the moment, accentuating of tune, of that painful and beautiful melody, that struck me the most in this trailer. Yes, 2:06 is undoubtedly cinematic wise beautiful, but the 2:21, with the little girls smiling happy face, holding up a mask of one of his fallen brother yakshas - it just *hurt*.
How the tune twirled almost at the mention of what the “mask” is supposed to do - tingle from the past. How the theme *itself* represents Xiao - an old instrument playing, signifying his ancient nature; a beautiful melody, his canonically true beautiful nature; and just how sad and lonely it sounds - his reality.
And later, at 2:38, a flute takes over the sad and lonesome melody - perchance Venti’s, a reference to how his music saved Xiao.
Throughout this whole trailer the music changes - I absolutely adore Mihoyo’s use of music for storytelling, even in such short clip.
SAMEEEEE I TOTALLY LOVE THAT BIT. XIAO'S EYES ARE ALSO A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO THE MUSIC
Hats off to your observation skills !
People like you make us appreciate little details ❤️
As a musician I agree 😌😌
I love how Xiao always talks about being alone, but when you look closer, he has not one but two archons looking after him. Zhongli sees him as a son and it seems that Venti will always have his back as well.
Yeah, and Kunikuzushi didn't really had that luxury with Beelzebub/his Mom. But now he has Nahida, so he's now sort of in a similar position as Xiao.
@Logan Floor wtf thats not funny
Agreed, i'm looking forward for lantern rite this year~
@@ziephel-6780 wanderer only has Nahida and Traveler since people tend to avoid him, where area Xiao is loved by his people but he won’t approach them.
@@ziephel-6780 Frankly, it was never discussed that they are perceived as father and son, once again the Genshin community taking what the memes say as canon.
Xiao was seen addressing Zhongli with too much respect, as if he were his boss or his god more than a father.
And maybe if Zhongli sees him as a son, the side of how Zhongli perceives him is more vague since we lack information.
And I emphasize the maybe.
Qiqi carried him all the way back to the pharmacy 😭 how could anyone hate her, even if she ruins all your 50/50s she's just so sweet!
Damn…Qiqi’s shorter than the bed? 😂
it means you will get her when pull xiao then 😅
man i hated her lol...now i dont hate her anymore after that line 😭...i will proly forget this cuteness and start hating her again after she ruins my 50-50 on the coming banners haha...cant be helped ig 😅
I can't even imagine how she carried him on her back. He's too big for her 🤧 she's precious.
And Xiao and the other Yakshas accidentally killed her lmao
a lot of people seem to think this is the first time xiao and venti met, other than venti saving him. but it's actually implied in both the Mondstadt Mansion description (in the teapot) and in this interaction here that they are familiar with each other and hang out more than we think. it says "...Madame Ping had arranged for [Tubby] to prepare this particular villa after hearing that a certain bard had visited another adeptus' abode recently...." we weren't 100% sure which adeptus it was referring to before, but considering xiao doesn't seem particularly surprised to see the anemo archon hanging out at his place, i think it's safe to assume it's talking about him lol.
idk i love xiao and it's sad to see him suffer, so it kinda makes me happy to think that venti comes to visit him when his karma gets bad and plays music for him to make it better. :')
but i thought xiao lives in wangshu inn
stop giving false information to people pls
@@imfromanotherdimension3937 it's not... Xiao calls Venti his old friend so
@@itmetakoyaki it is :) he said that because of their first encounter
@@imfromanotherdimension3937 I mean you can find the description in the teapot for yourself. I directly quoted it.
The erhu's ability to capture feelings of weariness and longing is heart wrenching
Venti's hint about taking the mask off was very clever and well done. Its clear he's also referencing himself, and how Xiao knows exactly who he is. He's relishing in being able to present as himself rather than just some anemo bard. Looking forward to seeing more of him in this light.
Xiao know venti is the anemo archon?
@@kazukilolll7737 He does, Venti saved him from being overtaken by karma once
Venti actively perfers to be seen as Venti the Bard, not Barbatos the Archon. It's his choice. That's why he thanks Jean for still calling him Venti, not Barbatos.
@@Andrey-mc1rw nah dude he was literally gonna die
@@kazukilolll7737 Xiao and other yakshas were there since the war time so it's obvious he knows
You can really tell that hoyo cares about Xiao’s character. This was so beautifully done
He is the only character who had a dedicated developer blog on lore and design
but still, his ultimate killing himself OMEGALUL
@Logan Stairs bruh you have like 2 subscriber tf?
I swear Xiao is their favorite character (story wise), or at least one of the top
still no dedicated support for him, for those who said faruzan nah she is not.
The animation quality never fails to impress me. It's nice to see story-based videos and not just teasers/trailers for upcoming characters. We need more of these!
Xiao in this trailer is explaining how his karma is so powerful and so torturing and demanding that he no longer has any recognition from reality to dreams. As you can see in the trailer, he keeps waking up over and over again. His karma is demanding more death, asking him to kill and become a monster thirsty for blood. The two Xiao fighting represent two parts of himself, him wearing the mask is the Xiao tainted by Karma and on the verge of losing his humanity and the other is the General Yaksha hired by Rex Lapis to kill monsters and demons. There's an inner battle in himself between wanting to protect Liyue from monsters and him turning into the monsters he is supposed to kill.
It feels like a warning, that Xiao would not hesitate to kill himself if it ever came to him harming humans.
Plus when the little girl said the mask is to scare away monsters, you notice that Xiao got indeed scared, reminding us that his karma is slowly turning him into a monster.
THIS IS SO SAD SOMEONE SAVE XIAO
he is saved
Jesus will wash away all repented sins
@@antlasantlasoi480 where does jesus take place in genshin 😭
@@mossil_fossili mean fontaine is actually somewhat inspired by Him (furina being a part of focalors being sent to stand in as the archon so that focalors can work on saving fontanians) but
The little girl moment is, in my opinion, not a signification that he's slowly turning into monster, it's a reminder how close he is to being one. In every dream from the beginning of this video he is constantly in a fight with this side of himself. He wakes up, only to find himself in another dream confrontation. The madness that followed all the Yakshas seem to be them losing the grasp on reality, so in that respect, this little girl was just an edge away from becoming another delusion to fight.
And from that point of view, I feel like the ending of The perilous trail was also misunderstood. The sacrifice was not staying behind so others can go, it was a choice to stay down there, because dying alone in a place that feeds on your sanity is preferable to him than even risking losing control near people he swore to protect.
Xiao is an excellent character, and it kinda upsets me that people see him as an angry, rude short guy.
I love everything about this!! Qiqi carrying Xiao on her back, a kid telling Xiao the mask protects from monsters, Venti telling him is okay to rest at least for one night! Absolutely beautiful

@@ARMYALEX1869 LMAO （＾ν＾） I need to know how she does it!!!
I mean Xiao is a small baby boy
When i was listening to the ost of this trailer, i realized how sad that even such fictional stories can reflect someone's life. There are people fated to suffer their entire life with little to no hope left. The only way they can make peace with themselves is to accept their own fate and reality. I thought of losses and terminal illnesses. The unfulfilled dreams that one must let go, or burdens that one carries while going through such conditions,
I wish for everyone who's experiencing this to find their peace.
i love how it shows how xiaos walls are breaking and he’s slowly allowing people to witness the toll that his job takes on him. i feel like xiao has such a deep and compassionate soul and he’s getting tired :(
why was he walking in the city
Xiao meeting venti is unexpected but this is top tier animation I give it 12/10
If you look at the Yaksha trailer back in 1.3 Xiao was saved by Venti's music
1.2 K.O

Me too
Xiao literally in pain
Venti "so what we get drunk..."
Xiao’s character development has changed drastically, xiao would say he’s a loner but the fact he opened up to us ( travelers) he’s actually a kind person. After update 2.7 came we seen more lore from him and yelan considering he’s the last known yaksha and still misses his comrades he’s very lucky to have zhongli watching over him & venti as well.
Don't you mean 2.7? 2.8 was the summer event.

I actually can't wait to see how venti interacts with the liyue characters, mainly I want to see veni and zhongli together again

i'm still wondering how qiqi carried him lol
Anyone else notice that "After a millennia of suffering and endless slaughter I now see things for what they really are" are specifically the only lines to be in quotations if subtitles are turned on? Really nice little detail showing that that line specifically is not being said by him in his own sane mind.
I think Xiao's bad karma and suffering can hint to the mysteries of the hilichurl's curse.
Xiao says "an instant of negligence, and it will turn me into the monsters I swore to purge" 0:50 so he will become a monster himself if the bad karma succeeds. Hilichurls are cursed to become monsters, and Xiao could possibly turn into a monster due to bad karma, so maybe the curse of the hilichurls/Khaenrian people is similar to bad karma.
Hilichurls also wear masks so they can't see their faces in reflections, and Xiao's mask was covering his face as he looked into the water 1:19.
Even the name of the trailer, "endless suffering" relates to the endless suffering that the hilichurls are bound to.
Besides that, I'm excited for the update!
I think it likely signifies how Xiao is taking a break from protecting Liyue and is willing to show the toll it takes on him
Liyue can take care of itself now. Xiao comes with me to Sumeru for holiday. 😎 Then to Fontaine, and the other places I forgot the names of. He doesn't need to work anymore. 2000 years is plenty.
Man i just wanna smesh Yelan.... I'm not asking much

@@luna95genshin I've had my Xiao since I started playing, my account used to belong to my friend who just got started before his work commitments made it so he couldn't play, he didn't want to waste the account so gave it to me. Since then I got my Xiao his weapon off standard banner and got him C1. He carried me majority of the game. 🤣 he's on the bench taking a break since he's now overpowered for the overworld enemies and I want to give other chapters a time to shine instead of heavily relying on Xiao. I still use him in Abyss when I do it as well as some domains.
@@Kat-mu8wq wow 🌚🥹
Legit every year it seems their art style just upgrades and we're getting more and more details and animations. And Qiqi popping out is just so cute
Genshin commissions they're animators tho

@@raikagemokni5093 NAH, PLS NO I ALREADY GOT HER C6 😭
@@Majin_Xavierras It's in house because if it's commissioned it would have looked a lot nicer
Now that i think about it, Qiqi is a perfect companion for Xiao (not romantically), since she is already dead Xiaos karma cant possibly harm her, also, is it me or based on their past connection (speculations), I cant help but notice that Xiao keeps himself in the dark (hides) everytime Qiqi is in his vicinity. We need to see this hearbreaking story soon, please!
qiqi his little sister figure fr… i need then to interact more
I really love how genshin are making more characters from different regions interact and giving underrated characters more screen time too
Notice that Xiao not running (read: teleport) away when he saw Venti up on the roof of his fav rest place but politely excuse himself away to rest.. pretty much hinting Xiao knows and give respect to Venti as an Archon

What do you mean by “relieved”?
@@spacemama702 only Venti playing of flute relieves Xiao of his suffering and preserves his memories.
@@spacemama702 In Xiao's lore he was tired of all these wars and battles and when Xiao heard Venti playing the flute he was relieved and giving him a moment's peace. Proof : "This was not by Xiao's own strength, for he had been rescued by the sound of a flute.
The clear, lovely sound of the flute came over the mountains and rivers, carried on the wind to where he lay.
And clear it continued to ring till the first light of dawn brought with it the startled flight of distant birds.
It protected Xiao, massaging his wild senses, and giving him a moment's peace."

This animated short is just perfect. Xiao almost never rests but he finally rested. Qiqi is so cute, she *carried* him on her back?! Baizhu looks so good in 2D! Venti’s appearance is the cherry on top.
Qiqi is extremely strong. Basically she is pumped full of Adepti power which is why she is unalive. Story goes she died when trying to shelter from a storm she got caught up in a battle between an Adepti and a demon. Horrified by the fact that a innocent had been killed by the conflict the Adepti attempted to revive Qiqi by channeling Adepti power into her corpse. This raised Qiqi as a zombie but Qiqi couldn't handle the amount of Adepti power and went berserk. In the end the Adepti had to trap her in amber to stop her rampage. She finally got free 800 years later she finally got out but by then everyone she knew and loved was dead. She has a pretty sad story.
She is still packing a lot of adepti power but has learned to control it and her strength far better. Her memory is terrible though and she has lost the ability to taste. She also has to stretch frequently to keep her body from becoming rigid.
She's one strong little undead

2:07 erhu is amazing feel so chiling😮
Honestly, Venti’s voice actor (or actress? I heard a rumor that they were a girl somewhere) is really underrated. When he hums, he sounds quite tipsy, but also slightly melancholic. When he sees Xiao, he starts speaking rather quickly and with an almost forced enthusiasm, like he’s putting the mask back on. And when he says the final line, he sounds like a mixture of a wise old god and a drunk bard.
It's not a rumour, Venti's eng VA is called Erika and she also voices Ann in Persona 5
Ah, thank you! I’d edit the comment but it’s glitched now :|
I believe Xiao's English VA is also female, if I'm not mistaken?
@@Kat-mu8wq Yes 😊
Xiaos EN VA is female too :) both of them have such nice voices
That animation is so heartwarming. Yet it confirmed, that Xiao is so small, that Qiqi can carry him
qiqi is super strong lol
also apply ingame where Xiao bleed to death, Qiqi heal ever hit
keep in mind she has adeptal powers
The greatest demon he has to contend with is his own.
Erika's voice-acting skills are always so so SO amazing! 🥰
The art and the music for this was just so unbelievably pretty. You can see how it shifts from each style and yet its executed perfectly. And also the fact that Qiqi carried Xiao there just hurts my heart
For me this shows just how much of a good and lovable person he is, and everyone loves him even strangers, everyone is ready to help him if he ever needs it.

2:26 every npc should look like this.😭✨
Venti is slaying so hard y'all 😏
Why the 😏 what r u thinking
@@_thetonedeafbardLMAO
Nah nothing to worry about@@_thetonedeafbard
I'm willing to bet on my nonexistent vision that Venti is contributing a ton of effort behind the scene all this time without we "officially" noticing it
Yeah he is doing a lot of stuff in the background and speaking in riddles and metaphors
Like if he was giving us a little push while not being directly involved
Or like if he couldn't speak up directly without dire concequences...
well he did kinda just steal 2 archons "kids"

@@annapotat0987 it's more like he cares about abandoned kids of archons.
I wasn't expecting a Xiao trailer today but I loved every second of it. For being the Character that got me interested in genshin, I love every scene that involves him. He's just the most interesting to me on the amount of possibilities his story can take. Also love the talk about Xiao's medicine (zhongli's about Xiao line), the glimpses of xiao being his own enemy technically and the venti conversion.
Imagine having no life and liking genshin impact

@@HogRidda liking a game = no life 💀??
isn't it the same as liking roblox, minecraft or something genshin is just a game instead of telling people they have no life you should get one and just focus on ur own
@@HogRidda ok roblox kid
@@HogRidda Imagine being a mindless Genshin hater based on what you heard online. What a sheep
xiao, let me take care of you
Whoever animated this (and Alhaitham’s teaser trailer), they. Need. A. Raise.
Yes
Ok we get it
Definitely
Okay 🫤
@Logan Stairs fatherless comment
I was expecting Zhongli interaction, but Venti!? Thank you, Hoyoverse! Not only is the animation amazing, but you always leave me flabbergasted with every trailer 🤗
I know right
Venti makes perfect sense! His music kept Xiao going in his backstory and the 3.4 trailer showed him coming to lantern rite! So excited
I was a bit surprised when I saw venti xd
He's everywhere 😭
@Logan Stairs lol yea right
Damn this short was so well-animated. And seeing venti, in the end, makes this short even cool as being an archon who knows what Xiao does in Liyue and he was also the one who protected xiao earlier somewhere... Also As a QiQi (& beidou main too) I am happy and shocked that Qiqi carried Xiao on his back lol.
I love how this trailer establishes that Venti can smell traces of alcohol from quite large distances away. Maybe his command over the wind has something to do with it? Or maybe Xiao had really just been drinking a lot XD
It is also clearly interesting how Venti clearly refers to his whole 'Venti' persona here as a mask. Kinda makes me wonder to what extent 'Lord Barbatos' and 'Venti' are distinct from each other. Venti is always hiding so much, it would be great to see him let that mask slip for once.
And it is great to see more character development for Xiao. Imho, these two are some of the most interesting characters in Genshin. Would love to see more of them.
Hoyo has my respect
They started with character demo and now the whole animated scenes just like an anime they are just blowing everything up
Xiao is one of my favourite characters and seeing how he took some rest after eons of suffering just amazing and venti appearing to help xiao was just heartwarming
@Logan Roof why are you writing these kind of comments
@@yoriichi3473 literally all of them are bots. It is just automated to do this for some reason.
The only way to tell YT to remove them is to report all of them and move on.
@@SlyRocko Thank you
I have reported them all
Seriously thank you very much for telling me. 😀😀
Christ why are there so many bots here
Anyway! I wonder if there’s ever gonna be a little Genshin video about what happens to xiao in the future. Like one day, will he really die or become crazy? Will somebody heal him? Hurts not knowing
@@esined2386 yeah I wanna see that too and I don't know why so many bots
After almost 2 years since the Yaksha teaser in which Xiao was saved by Venti's music, we finally get a full on-screen interaction between them and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to see their interactions in Lantern Rite as well.
I was so happy that I cried
@@alexandralove4411 Bruh Really? Man It’s just a trailer of two fictional characters seeing each other. Not even the real scene
Edit: People really throwing hands over someone’s opinion. I shouldn’t have touched this sacred ship ground lmao
Am waiting for Venti and Zhongli XD
@@lyg483 and
@@lyg483 ok genshin is a fictional game? xiaoven haters are dramatic
I found this video by coincidence and just realised that is been literally 1 year , this video is posted 13 January and today is 13 January , time goes fast fr . But the problem I never finished the video 💀
Desde el instrumental hasta la traducción en los subtítulos, se nota la fina calidad que hay en cada trabajo de este meticuloso juego
This trailer is very lovely and really reflex’s one Xiao’s character development. Xiao normally wouldn’t let anyone no matter who they are touch him because of his karmic debt but now he realizes that it’s ok and gets the rest he needs instead oh dragging around exhausted and hurt.
Oh really? I got the impression that he still runs away from people who offer him their kindness. He ran away from three situations here (Baizhu and Qiqi taking care of him, the little girl offering him pudding, and Venti offering him a drink)
thats literally what he did when he woke up tho
he just ran away 💀
@user-xy1dd2cb1n Yeah it's still a development tho.
According to his story about vision, he had to fight all night and all day during the Lantert Rite. So his decision to rest means actually a lot. Both for " I am better and stronger than every single one of you" Xiao, AND "weak, useless and pathetic" humans.
@metcas Well like I said before, his situation was much worse before. Acording to his character story "Vision", It is a(little but still) devolopment since he had to fight all night and day without any rest, yknow. He actually thinks "Liyue won't be destroyed while I take a nap" But before he was looking down on everything that was neither a God or adeptus lmao
@@zeynepnaztuzun4125 Ah, very true. I forgot about that. It is an improvement in that case, yup.
Xiao’s endurance is immeasurable yet he still devotes his life to protect Liyue, and no matter how long he suffers Zhongli will always see him as his son and Venti will always have his back, massive admiration for the conqueror of demons

@Merry Christmas 🌲 thx
@@vvvpyu ok
He’s so precious I love him omg 💗💗
I want to give him a hug!
“It’s good to take the mask off once in a while”
That’s exactly what Xiao needed to hear! And I hope he listens to what Barbatos said!
Thank you anemo archon for reminding him
raiden is the anime archon 😭
@@juice3287 now I realized how stupid I sounded 💀
"thats what the point of mask is" -dream
like his mask he wears or is there a deeper meaning?
that’s touching but I don’t think xiao even heard it HAHAHAH
I have a feeling venti didn’t actually mean “it’s good to take the mask off, even for one night” was for xiao. ii have a feeling venti was talking about himself, and how he was taking off his facade of happiness, and just relaxing :)
also notice how xiao said “sorry, tonight i just want to rest” means venti had probably been there before? and his voice softens abit ;)
he meant it for both him and xiao, metamorphically for himself and literally for xiao

Всего говорят о Венти, Сяо, а я скажу, что 1:39 Бай Джу так мило играет со своей змейкой :>
Beautiful. Love that Venti is there again. Like a callback to the Yakshas cinematic, he's there in the background, perhaps keeping an eye on things the way only he knows how to.
Eyyy it's the Bug Archon himself!
He's scouting for recruits. Loner types, a bit of an emo. 😅
I'm happy they kept up with that continuity, even with Qiqi showing up to reveal their lil connection within the lore.
@@farixguardian
True, he already ascendet in the latest Video XD
Honestly the moment i saw Xiao, i immediately fell in love with him and his character. It warms my heart to see him finally getting the rest he’s always needed.
Agreed, he seriously needs a vacation
Xiao and Kazuha are my favorites character. The art, the story... Btw imma roll Xiao C6 for the next banner (Current C4 Xiao)
Yes i feel like i need him C6 without any questions why
Same. First character I pre farmed the everliving hell out of. Weapon, full artifact set, materials (except for the material that dropped with him).
@@saocungduocx Xiao tank build
I appreciate that Hoyoverse didn't go straight from Chasm to Xiao is all happy and go lucky. He's been a self sacrificing figure for centuries on end, and only recently felt that it was okay for him to be happy and live for himself. He feels lost and unsure of his purpose now that he's not throwing his life towards protecting Liyue.
Part of it is "a warrior finding purpose in a peaceful time", but part of it is also him dealing with the survivor's guilt as a Yaksha. This is going to be a heart-tugging Lunar New Year Festival!
plus, he hasn't properly had his time with venti yet
sure, they met, but his dream of listening to him play again still remains... i'm led to believe;
1. hoyoverse has big plans for that
2. they're just gonna forget for 2 years again lmao
also, i saw a theory online that this trailer was set in 2.4, before the chasm quest, and when he smiles down from the inn during the cutscene he was smiling at venti 💚
Well said. In China we have a saying that goes. 太平本是英雄定，不见英雄享太平, which means peace is granted by heroes but we don't see heroes enjoying peace. I'm just really glad mihoyo decided to work on that concept and made it better thru him
as a xiao main, i am happy he is spotlighted in a trailer as amazing as this
Was super surprised and happy to see Venti appearing in a PV like this. It gives me hope that they're finally going to incorporate him into the story more, and hopefully other older characters as well. All of the 1.0-1.3 characters deserve some heavy spotlight and screen time. Looking forward to seeing which other older characters will get PVs in the future!

@@XiaoIsMyHusbandBTW fr fr
Venti.. just being Venti 🤣 smelling the rice wine hahaha. But, then, that clever line, referring to both Xiao and himself, taking the mask off. Xiao being able to take a day/night off to finally rest and Venti not needing to pretend to be a bard instead of an archon.
omg twins they use the same coping strategy :D IM JOKING all jokes aside ofc the bard knows exactly what kind of drink he consumed
2:21 Her voice is so innocent & adorable 🫠
The animation is amazing, more about Xiao, Qiqi carried him and tried to gave him medicine, first time we get to see him interact with Venti! We need more of this and hoping to see more of Xiao and Venti (also Venti and Zhongli) interact with each other in 3.4 patch. This short trailer was amazing!
I am surprised Qiqi even remembers doing that
If Qiqi can carry Xiao on her pack then we proved that Qiqi could be taller than Xiao (doge
They'll interact in 3.4 if I remember correctly
