    People should notice that there are two times Paimon feels tired. One is when an exit suddenly appeared to get the traveler out of the "abyss". (We can see from Itto how exhausting to break through a wall.) The other one is when the compass suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Paimon used her power to help us. And also it was Paimon who knocked over the compass and it suddenly activated.
    At the start of the final escape, Yanfei said that the compass is an amplifier. That's why they can use it to create a way (something like continuously breaking walls) to the outside. As Xiao used up his power, the exit also closed. But Zhongli not only reopened the exit but was also able to pull Xiao out of the seal. Furthermore, he returned to Liyue and went through a very long conversation with the story teller and not feeling tired. This shows how power he is and that the power within Paimon was currently no match for a god.
    Many people think some plots are unnecessary. But I think they are there for other purposes.

    @keyzmi Před 2 lety +30

    My heart... my soul... Xiao has been burdened by his karma for so long that it feels like he was ready to die at any time. It's not like he has given up on himself it seems, but rather he has lived and fought for too long that he has lost sight of his own significance, that his nature is really just to make sure everyone around him survive. They might think that he's sacrificing himself, but I doubt that is how he sees it. It feels like he doesn't even think of himself at all to begin with, and if he did, he would probably try to survive with everyone and we can see that towards the end of the quest here, that he started to realize that he is present, by talking stuff out with the traveller, or earlier when everyone affirmed him that he was not a burden, or when Zhongli came to rescue him and he realized that Zhongli didn't have to, but there must be a reason that he went out of his way. In a way, Xiao started to learn his own self-worth and significance, and that made me tear up...

    Out of the three nations we have so far, Liyue has the most impact in terms of lore so far. Mondstadt kinda feels forgotten and Inazuma lost its spotlight pretty fast once we fought Raiden. Liyue kinda feels like their favorite child so far.

    • @EternityRose1

      Dunno bout that. Every island added more and more to inazuma as a region with their individual stories as well as enkanomiya. Liyue doesn't really have those underlying mysteries that inazuma has up until we got to the chasm. There's way more under the surface to inazuma than fans like to give it credit for

    I love Xiao with all my heart and when I played this broke my inner me
    I can't believe how much hate he gets for putting others first

    I don't think this game allows the situation to fully sink in but we are trapped in a cave that is draining our life at a slower pace while what appears to be ghost or the Dementors show our worst days over and over it has been around 20 days before getting out the Chasm this could of been a novel this is a psychological horror. our group is superhuman with wills of iron. I want to know their braking point how far can they go before going insane from the cave or starvation?
