I love when Xiao meet Zhongli for the first time. Turning him from rogue boy to cooler and edgy boy. That part really give me a goosebumps.

[@whao3304]

Xiao was controlled before he met Zhongli. Xiao is a fake name instead of his true name. In a lot of stories, yaksha would be controlled if someone know yaksha's true name. And Zhongli save him and gave a fake name.

[@whao3304]

In a lot of characters, weapons stories, there are so many details about Genshin impact history. I think mihoyo did perfectly in these inconspicuous places and made everything more reasonable and interesting.

A rough translation here: Beidou: On a night before the Lantern Rite, the ship was caught in the storm when returning to liyue. When they arrived at the port at night, the lantern rite was over already. I looked at the Guyun Stone Forest... and saw an adeptus in the form of a teenager in the air. I bet he is what we heard in the legend, someone guarding liyue without us knowing. Xiao: I am Guardian Yaksha Xiao, the conqueror of demons. Ganyu: He has been keeping distance from the human. Maybe this is because of his personality. After all those who used to execute the same contract as him are all gone now. Xiao: I still hear them a lot...screaming.... crying... slaughtering...Is this karma? Paimon: I heard from the liyue residents that yaksha is a guardian of liyue who protects the region and residents from the demons. Xiao: No matter you or liyue, I have seen the lights and heard all of your wishes. Mighty and illuminated adeptus, Xiao.

Xiao I hope he finds happiness

[@mouses_HK]

i don't think that's possible. Xiao is already friends with the traveler yes, however, I read somewhere that yakshas fate will always be murdered, suicide, or just giving up and hiding away forever. This has already happened before. Xiao ended up fighting from dusk till dawn once and the curse was so strong it almost killed him, Venti saved him with his music and reminded Xiao who he really is, what his duty is. Yet Xiao still doesn't have the answer to the meaning of his life. Protecting Liyue is his duty, but could there be more? He doesn't think so. one day this will happen again, because will power always runs out. Xiaos kindness and willpower is still there. But the day will come when the curse is too much to bear. And Xiao becomes the things he kills.

[@hopeworld9515]

@@mouses_HK you're right. I want him to find happiness too but even i feel like thats kind of a far dream for him, a wish.. to find true happiness. And that's truely sad. If not happiness, then i hope he finds some peace. Even if its in his death- i hope he at least gets a peaceful death.

[@mouses_HK]

@@hopeworld9515 what makes this more tragic is that his specialty, Sweet dreams description says "Xiaos specialty. his dream is very simple, and it is merely a lovely dream" The dude has never had a good dream in his life... only nightmares, only the dreams that he devoured from others, that's what's keeping him sane. Those sweet dreams. Yet he wishes he can have his own, a sweet kind lovely dream... He will never get one... Mihoyo really knows how to write a tragic character.

[@wuvxiao]

i hope so too but he gives off a lot of death flags (i don't play honkai impact but from what i heard mihoyo has killed some characters in the storyline so maybe they'll kill characters too in genshin-) so i don't think he will unless he dies a peaceful death with no regrets ;-;

This is such a beautiful video ♥ QAQ Xiao hates the lantern rites as it just becomes a day of more bloodshed to him. But I hope with the traveler and the others, he will find to love it again. The moment he smiles, I hope despite the pain he always felt the wishes he hears from the people of Liyue through the lanterns can ease a little bit of his pain. That all his effort and the sacrifices he and his fallen comrades are not for nothing. I hope Xiao will find happiness someday.

[@rachelisverycoo]

Xiao lore is so misunderstood. He isn’t an emo boy, his English voice was mistranslated. While yes the va is extremely talented, they made the voice lines way too directed towards the “emo” side. If you hear any of his other voices, they fit his actual lore much better. He doesn’t hate humans, he’s afraid he’ll hurt them if he ever goes near them cause of his karmic debt.

[@sawsera7666]

well said 👌🏻

[@firephoenix8192]

While I do agree that his jp and en voices in general are better, I have to disagree that his en shows his edgy or emo side. I am someone who can switch between English and anyother language in a second and not feel cringey or weird. I play Genshin with English voiceover, and I never have I ever thought of him in a way you described. The coarse sound in English makes me feels like his voice is full of scars, yet it's contained within him. I really loved his jp voice back in 1.1, but during the chasm quest and during the current lantern rite, I have come to truly appreciate his English voice-over. He has been going through a lot for 2000+ years, he is very old, yet he is young. He is full of scars, seems rough but is very innocent at his core.... And the coarse English voice-over just started to represent all of that purrfectly to me.

[@firephoenix8192]

Voice in general though all 3 > En. However the representation of his character is far from what you described. Honestly speaking those who play in Jp complain to me a lot about him being annoying and emo, while the 2 people who play with English voiceover, treat him as their son.
