is it just me or is this trailer just a little underrated? it's the best one in my opinion and it deserves more attention. it's so well done so scenographic and I love the way they combined his lore with the video, he's such an interesting character. He will forever be my favorite character in the game he was my first 5 star I'm so grateful I pulled him, back when i yet didn't even know i wanted him
Can we talk about how the music expresses both power and suffering? The presence of classical chinese instruments blended with a typical occidental electric guitar, the struggle between traditions and innovations. It's a mix of regret, pride and hurtful living. It's a masterpiece and I'm obsessed.
@@JKMT Xiao's is more badass Zhongli's is more divine. and i like how you come to Xiao's trailer everyday to trashtalk about him... either you really like this trailer and are hiding in a closet or just a toxic dude.
If u notice in 2.7 in the final xiao cutescene they actually put xiao demo music but changed a bit to sad than agressive, if u listen carefully u will notice.
@@kira0703 i literally had chills during that part. I love it when during cutscenes or anytime when there's some other music playing and suddenly they play a specific character theme. iirc this is hoyo's first time doing this. Hopefully, they're gonna do it more in the future. This is also the first time in-game we got to hear a character's theme if I'm not wrong. It was during 3:00 of the cutscene btw.
same here- i was unmotivated during 2.7 and just decided to actually do stuff in the chasm. if hoyoverse killed xiao i would literally have a mental breakdown.
I'm guaranteed since I pulled Qiqi during Ganyu and didn't get paid quick enough to make up for it. Missed Ganyu, much to my dismay, but hey, I get Xiao 100% now. lol
As someone who owns Xiao. I gotta say he is more than worth it. To everyone saving for his rerun, you got this! I believe in you, and I believe you will all be Xiao havers
Barbatos really knows how to pick the right anemo vision bearers edit: yall i know archons dont give visions, however, this comment was posted 2 MONTHS AGO, back when inazuma was just released. pls stop telling me that archons dont give visions or xiao's power isn't from his vision. okay?
I think what always impresses me most about Xiao is how the English actor, a woman, is able to get the voice that deep, and just the way she's able to shout in said voice. I can't imagine how tired her vocal cords would be afterwards.
soo basically his "yaksha mode" is what his normal mode is supposed to be but after killing a whole bunch of ppl, (millennia, meaning thousands of years worth of killing,) karma started to make a dent and now his yaksha power is only accessible through forcibly breaking "karmic binds" which causes damage to himself? that's... heavy...
I think "karmic binds" does not mean an actual thing, it means the death debt he has. "karmic binds" is represented as "black line" that ties hims in the animation. And he finally break free from those black lines = "be severed, karmic binds". Just my 2 penny!
@@whitewhite4426 hopefully that means xiao got rid of the "binds" permanently by finally getting yaksha back instead of just tearing them temporarily while yaksha is on, but his ult drains hp, right? so I think he has to fight the imaginary black stuff while using yaksha and he takes damage from that. i like optimism tho
i gathered my primo for pulling in venti banner then this demo hit me hard.the music makes him so cool that i wanna scream louder. that bgm hitting me hard every time mihoyo release a new character demo.
there should be a warning for real. It actually hurt my eyes a bit especially in the beginning. The Demo was still awesome and I loved it, but it really needs a warning. Especially if people watch this in the dark or have epilepsy
I was wondering if I was getting old or something cause I don't normally have problems with flashing light. After reading the comments I'm glad to know I'm wasn't the only one who felt the flashes were a little much.
WHY IS EVERY CHARACTER DEMO BACKGROUND MUSIC A FRIGGING BANGER??? I LITERALLY NEED A WHOLE ALBUM OF THEM Edit: It's finally here!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zmS7kzSHuSE.html Edit 2: Xiao's theme is not included, I am disappointed and my day is ruined (jk, I've been listening to them and danngg I love every single track!)
@@arekysa also, why would you turn off like and dislikes? oh! i know why! its because people would love to get the same link everywhere and it would have so many likes that it would outshine everything! and you guys dont want that...
It’s ZhongLi’s dialogue about Xiao He gives him painkillers regularly to help with the pain. Also he told not to let Paimon eat it cause it’ll be too strong for mortals xD
that's translation mistakes.the original text is 连理镇心散 which can be directly translated into "medicine for calming the heart",and possibly doesn't even exist in real life because I've never heard of it😅
Exactly, all of them are different and are just as good. Zhonglis to me felt like it was building up to the beat drop while for Xiaos it felt like everything was always up
The things i'll do for this man.. anyway this soundtrack fits him perfectly, genshin did justice with him indeed. it's epic and even frightning as if u know u should be careful from him and that is something beyond human. it also in the style of liyue there's so much story in it. the burden, the years of suffering. you can hear that and how much xiao holds in everything he can, yet still so proud of being adepti and thankful to morax doing his duty till this day to not get eaten by darkness. luckily, he has Aether now (the traveler i choosed) haha he's not alone anymore.
"Ephemeral circumstance, perpetual agony. This is nothing new to me. " - me after xiao's banner and not getting xiao edit: ciao xiao edit: i got venti tho edit: goodluck for pulling for kazuha. imma chase another anemo dude. hope he's gonna come home
i think if you used zhongli's pillar/elevator operator, his ult, and his dashes, you could probably get them. Like climb the pillar from a decent distance away, use his ult to jump, spam his skill to charge towards his birds from above, then plunge
this is not a very big budget production, it's the amazing editor and camera shots that are made in-game along with some animations that were probably provided to editor, giving off a different vibe than most game trailers.
I do believe Venti is coming pretty soon, he was the first banner to come after the official release, so perhaps wait 1 or 2 months he'll probably come...
i absolutely love how they have the chinese traditional instruments but also manage to add an electrical guitar to it, it makes the whole vibe so much better i applaud you mihoyo
Me: *Looks at Shenhe's character trailer* Me: Shenhe's story is lonely and sad, it's brilliant. Me: *Looks at Xiao's character demo* Me: But I like this better
POV: you joined Genshin Impact after his banner and now you're just sadly waiting for him to get a rerun Edit: damn bro so many replies :0 Also for those wondering when he could come back I think he could have a rerun anywhere from October to December. Edit part 2: ok so the xiao banner is starting to look more like january-february 😃
If you awake to a knife in your throat If monsters dig their claws into you If death comes knocking at your door Call out my name Adeptus Xiao I will be here When you call
Everyone repeat after me: we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao we are gonna get Xiao
Anemo specters and slimes, Boreas, and eye of the storms: **LAUGHS LOUDLY** P.S SPECTURES ACTUALLY HAVE MORE HP THAN A LITERAL MITACHURL(the big hilichurl with the sheild/axe)
@@ashfruit393 you will not find another 5star char who is as easy as xiao to build, even with doofy artefact and blackcliff you can deal 40k damage per plunge
