Some context: Venti is the one who plays the dihua flute in guyun stone forest when the moon is bright. It is the only tribute to the last yaksha. Zhongli mentioned it in a previous story quest.
You know those emotions that you feel for Scara? Its the same for me but for Xiao. I legit feel so much pain and respect for Xiao. I hope we can help him soon.
I'm sorry, but I don't think Xiao can be helped. Thousands of years worth of who knows how many Gods' accumulated hatred and wrath are inside Xiao now, when only 1/1000th of it can drive monsters and people insane. I don't really see any salvation for Xiao other than death.
Im so happy they interacted for like 4 seconds I can sleep peacefully. Though this also makes me feel that Xiao and Venti will be playing a big rule this Lantern Rite, judging by how their backstorys are a bit connected, and of course this interaction. Reminds me of Xiao's namecard description where it says, "he wishes to hear the sound of the flute in a pool of flowers" maybe Xiao will finally be able to hear that flute again
Random but I'm happy you mention Xiaos namecard description! It's such a bittersweet thing to read since it's what Xiao wants but also something he feels he can never have-
No one talking about how venti snuck up on Xiao, even if he's off his game he's always trying to be alert, but venti just chilling there surprised him.
There was no surprise in Xiao's expression at all. He looked up and saw Venti there and actually spoke with him, unlike the other people in the video. This suggests that they have known each other for a while and that they are both well aware of one another. Xiao knows Venti was the one who saves him from that Karma, and knows he is Barbatos. Venti is also well aware of who Xiao is. Venti says "Care to join me for a drink?" and Xiao responds with a "Not tonight." Which also suggests that they have drank with each other before. I am assuming, because Xiao is still alive, unlike the other Yaksha's, that Venti often protects him, which is why he shows up. Zhongli is probably well aware of this, in which case he doesn't have to worry as much. The Chasm, Zhongli steps in, since he was aware that Xiao had asked for his approval to go in the first place. As for Venti, who is the only traveling God and isn't really present in Mondstadt, I think he hangs out with Xiao a lot, especially more often now because of the toll that Xiao has to bare from wearing that mask. Venti being present for the lantern rite actually makes me nervous, since he seems to appear when Xiao needs him the most. But we shall see. I think they have a rather close relationship, since Xiao seemed to be comfortable with Venti being there. *With Barbatos there, I'm sure it is easier for him to actually rest.*
It's not proven that the Yaksha who accidentally caused Qiqi's death is Xiao. Although Qiqi has two voicelines about Xiao, Xiao doesn't, not even one. Maybe it's just to show how "long-lived" Qiqi is, so long to the point that she should have been friends (or something) with Xiao. Perhaps the next patch will reveal more about the two characters.
@@jiayitan5847 reason people said it's xiao because,before qiqi turn zombie...etc,at that time adepti against "demon",and which adepti in charge against demon?it's the man himself, sorry for bad English btw
@@paja4373 But there's more than one Yaksha. There's another one called Pervases (the one that looks like a peacock) and we know that many Yaksha perished in the past. I can't say much since I don't know exactly when Qiqi died and where Xiao is when she died, my point is that Mihoyo hasn't shown us who the real culprit(is there a better word?) is.
@@jiayitan5847 don't know what the word would be, it wasn't intentional from what I understood. They were fighting the demons and she became a casualty because of it. Wonder if we will get to see more about this and venti and Xiao
Father/son? I think Zhongli takes the dad role for Xiao, or a master/boss role. Venti is something else, someone a little more special I feel. From this trailer and the calm/non surprised way Xiao acted towards Venti, this suggests that they know each other well, potentially drink together, and have more of a special bond compared to the professional one he has with Zhongli, or the respectful one he has with the Traveler. Idk, I think Venti is that one who genuinely cares the most about Xiao and is basically the one to keep his darkness at bay. Since we are seeing Xiao having tougher issues to face with himself, I feel Venti is there to really make an impact. What a special bond I feel like he has with Venti and no one else. I am excited for this Lantern Rite Festival!
I was sooo surprised since they've only done this for Ayaka so far! Considering how Xiao's one of the characters that has been developed the most alongside Albedo, I wonder what his next story has in store for us 😍
This looks like a preview of what's gonna happen in lantern rite! We got Venti visiting Liyue now hosting the music event and Xiao finally joining everyone for lantern rite dinner
I think, in her story voice stuff, it hints she's actually physically stronger now because she can't feel pain and such. That or something about her sword fighting being strong and related to her being undead. I'll have to go through it again.
The scene with the little girl and mask just makes me be even more worried about all that. That mask was made to "scare away monsters", and xiao was seeing himself in it, so in the same time, he's the monster, and he's the one scaring away these monsters
Zhongli is concerned for Xiao, but he acts more like a merciful boss to Xiao. Venti, however, feels likes someone that's genuinely concerned for his well-being. Venti seems to have real compassion for those he gave a vision, and it seems like he wants to free Xiao from his curse, but unlike the others, Xiao is bound by another archon, so Venti takes special interest in him. He may even fight Zhongli to break Xiao's contract one day.
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
Me imagining Venti after that contacting Zhongli: “heyoooo Geo Grandpa come get your son! He’s in need of comfort hugs!” Xiao: “LORD BARBADOS NOOOO!” “Venti yesssss!” Zhongli: “I have arrived where is my son?”
When it comes to Genshin, Lorie is faster than Dom Toretto
LMAOO not dom 💀
Lorie: Did you say Genshin ?!! Genshin is everything kid!
@@LorieMegistus i got no friend, i got family, genshin is my family
Some context: Venti is the one who plays the dihua flute in guyun stone forest when the moon is bright. It is the only tribute to the last yaksha. Zhongli mentioned it in a previous story quest.
Story quest or event? Because i don't remember it ever being mentioned in a story quest.
@@kacperwoch4368 you can see venti playing the flute in xiao charcter trailer
And YEAH it was in Xiao’s character story, when we read the book about the Yakshas this animation from trailer with Venti also popped up.
You know those emotions that you feel for Scara? Its the same for me but for Xiao. I legit feel so much pain and respect for Xiao. I hope we can help him soon.
This was me before I found out about Scara but now I’m like this for both
@@MxSae Same, I don’t know who to main now, it was so simple before 😭
I'm sorry, but I don't think Xiao can be helped. Thousands of years worth of who knows how many Gods' accumulated hatred and wrath are inside Xiao now, when only 1/1000th of it can drive monsters and people insane.
I don't really see any salvation for Xiao other than death.
@@shubniggurath9097 id say that the bitch of zhongli should do smth
Finally, after 3 years, Venti and Xiao interaction.
Xiaoven shippers eating good
AHH IM SO HAPPYYYY
But the way xiao just walks away from venti lol xiao just wants to rest and not party with anyone, poor venti
@@tararoth2844 well from what he said it’s clear they hangout often lol
@@redacted-oo7ne hmmm maybe
I thought “Tsubaki in the thawing snow” reached peak animation but this just shows they can get even better.
Maybe they have the Ufotable legends training them haha
@@johanneseure6761 mihoyo has an animation segment though
@@johanneseure6761 They've already made some top-tier animations. Checkout Honkai's animations. Pretty great!
@@ariality_ yeah listen im not saying their bad. Comparing a company to Ufotable when it comes to animation is a compliment in and of itself.
@@the-suspect Yeah i know. That is why im comparing them to the gods in the animation industry
A very small detail, but I really loved the Sumeru Rose that Baizhu had while writing
I feel like Venti has a bunch of visions in his pocket and give it to his desire person when he travels
i love him
And the boys that don't exceed his height.🤣
I am now very endeared to this concept
Archons don't grant visions btw
@@thienphucn1 Let us have our headcanons
This was so wonderfully done
agreed! gorgeous animation
Im so happy they interacted for like 4 seconds I can sleep peacefully. Though this also makes me feel that Xiao and Venti will be playing a big rule this Lantern Rite, judging by how their backstorys are a bit connected, and of course this interaction.

Random but I'm happy you mention Xiaos namecard description! It's such a bittersweet thing to read since it's what Xiao wants but also something he feels he can never have-
it makes sense that Venti is here since Xiao overheard him playing the lyre made his karma subside
"A father and a son bonding"
Zonghli in the backgroung: am i a joke to you ?
Xiao in Ufotable animation would look sick!

The fact Qiqi helps Xiao when he’s partly responsible for her death is a little sad and sweet at the same time.

i'm crying lol, xiao venti and baizhu on one trailer make us happy :")

XiaoVen nation getting a full mukbang with this
venti's everybody's chaotic father/brother figure and i love it
The most heartbreaking thing is that Xiao is out there all alone fighting monsters, going insane and passing out…😢
Qiqi peeking out and carrying the medicine just added 43 years in my life
Genshin Impact trailers gets better and better and I'm here for it!
This looks like a preview of what's gonna happen in lantern rite! We got Venti visiting Liyue now hosting the music event and Xiao finally joining everyone for lantern rite dinner
I hope it's not what is going to happen, if Xiao misses it, it would ruin my day xD
I love knowing my dolphin money is going towards this work of art
My heart leaped out of my chest when my bby Boy Baizhu appeared
I cannot imagine how Qiqi carried Xiao lol
the fact the trailer makes her look even smaller than usual makes it funnier.
Qiqi is stronk
I think, in her story voice stuff, it hints she's actually physically stronger now because she can't feel pain and such. That or something about her sword fighting being strong and related to her being undead.
I'll have to go through it again.
In a basket, Demon Slayer style. :D
Future boss fight? Karma. To take a life, you give up your life. To kill evil, you become evil. To protect Liyue, you will destroy it.
imagine a Xiao boss fight where he's in a constant burst state with no HP drops
The scene with the little girl and mask just makes me be even more worried about all that. That mask was made to "scare away monsters", and xiao was seeing himself in it, so in the same time, he's the monster, and he's the one scaring away these monsters
xiao in-game is so sad, but xiao’s va i swear, has like the energy of a calmed down ataraki itto
Amazing trailer. More suffering for Xiao
Seeing Qiqi is adorable. The little girl with the mask is cute too.
Zhongli is concerned for Xiao, but he acts more like a merciful boss to Xiao.
Venti, however, feels likes someone that's genuinely concerned for his well-being.

i didn't realize qiqi was so stronk lmao
I have been refreshing my notifications because I knew you're gonna post a reaction and it's finally here!!!
omg that's so sweet ;o;
I love this trailer but I feel like there's some foreshadowing going on and it scares me JSJJSJS 😭
the animation is so beautiful
Bro I wanted to go for Yelan since I don’t have her yet 😭 but this made me want to go for a C2 Xiao
Ngl if this is what the anime is going to look like, I'm 100% on board.
Zhongli is now the step-parent confirmed. 🤣
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
It's canon to the Qiqi haters Qiqi carries everyone 😂
Appreciate the dedication. Also trailer was fire.
This is the kind of shit that genshin can drop and make the burnout go away.🤣
Xiao is gonna have a huge part in this lantern rite based on this. Too bad it's content that goes away :(
Qiqi before Kokomi release : "I carried you on my back"
Also, dang girl you're so fast!!!
Lorie's faster than Xiao's E 👁️👄👁️
Rex Lapis: Xiao, come meet your untie Venti 🫢
Okay but the definition they put into his chest, like sir how *tight* is your shirt?
Xiao speaking with a lot of respect towards Venti. or atleast i think he sounds different.
xiaoven we won
I think Lorie is a secret leaker for trailers and demos xD sooo fast haha
Why do i always fall for tragic characters ?? Both Scara and Xiao make my heart hurt 😭
Why are people focusing on the part where Qiqi carried xiao? How could she not when they're literally about the same height.
Me imagining Venti after that contacting Zhongli: “heyoooo Geo Grandpa come get your son! He’s in need of comfort hugs!”
Xiao: “LORD BARBADOS NOOOO!”
“Venti yesssss!”
Zhongli: “I have arrived where is my son?”
xiao is so pretty 😬
A father and his son? Venti isn't xiao's father.
With record upload time, you should feel proud.
thanks, haha!
That Erhu String music always hits too hard
Xiao boss hint soon hoyoverse????? Please
You are so fast i wouldnt even know if there was a new genshin post.
love to see your energy, are you in Cali?
Baby Xiao is Hurting...Need to save hm from his Karma😭😭😭😭
At this point, I think almost everyone has at least 1 XIao.
Depends on when you started playing
For og players, then probably
YOU'RE SO FAST
Your so fast LMAO
Ah yes a "short" trailer
FASTES REACTOR BACK AT IT AGAIN
❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Xiaoven shippers, rise.
