For me, XinYan's role is more than just being a rock-and-roll musician. Alongside Hu Tao and Keqing, she shows that Liyue Harbor's society rules are far from perfect, and have it's own set of setbacks. As you mentioned, there's always certain pressure for girls or young women to fulfill those roles. While Liyue is proud of their history and culture, they tend to cling way too much towards the world of old, and can cause issues or clashes of ideas with people that shows new ideas.
Yeah I noticed that in other character stories too. From Yun Jin's story, her grandparents doesn't permit her to visit Xinyan because they don't want to accept anything new like the music of Rock n' Roll.
You did forgot about one detail about Xinyan and Yun Jin's friendship: Since the elders at the Yun-Han Opera Troupe don't let Yun Jin attend Xinyan's performances, instead of telling them that she's going to one of these performances, she just says than she's going to "visit Fan Er'ye's adoptive daugher, Xingyan, to discuss Liyue Opera". She even got Fan Er'ye himself, who by the way, is the owner of the Heyu Tea House, to take part on this fake alibi.
This shows how willing Yun Jin is to attend Xinyan's performances, but also that she is coolheaded with it and knows not to risk it, which is a fact more about her than Xinyan, but it's still a cool detail.
Regardless, I enjoyed the video, your way to do the montage with the playable characters often in the background is lovely :)
(Also this part of Yun Jin's character story is some "forbidden love" kind of material but shhhhh)
Oh yeah I didn't add that because I planned to mention it in Yun Jin's Tales video haha can't believe her elders fell for that one lol
xinyan and yun jin's friendship is like my favorite thing!! i want to see more of them!!! maybe they can do a duet lol
their friendship is kinda poetic too one embracing the traditions in her own way while the other tries to introduce new things to liyue
Can't wait for Yanfei spitting literal fire when she becomes a rapper for Xinyan.
12:42 /if im having her on my team, she's always the one walking. Sound design in genshin is great. I love the little dum dum the drum makes
So I have a theory that some characters are introduced early even though they don't play a big part in the story yet because they will play an important part later on (Mona is a prime example) and they don't want the characters to just come out of nowhere. Xinyan's character arc might end up being more tied to Fontaine, the birthplace of Rock n Roll, helping the people of Fontaine rebel against a corrupted Archon of justice by rallying Liyue to their cause or something like that.
Yeah you true there is already a hint from Liyue board bulletin tells abt Xinyan and Fontaine
cant wait til fontaine is released and yu-peng chen makes some legendary rock osts for genshin
Off topic but
imagine the interaction between Childe and Klee.
"Hey, it's the toy shop owner!"
"This opportunity is quite hard to come by"
I want more Xinyan content.
Kailan kaya magkakaroon ng hangout quest si xinyan hihintayin ko yan
Ah I love your voice!! It’s a mix between Albedo and Xiao and it’s very calming
Xinyan is one of characters that i love very much because her story and her voicelines (i still try to find a best build for her since miHoYo make her skill suck :')) ) wish that miHoYo (or Hoyoverse) will make for her a hangout event or her character story quest (since Xingqiu is the last 4* characters have a story quest)
P/s: something, if someone joke on her like: "Who is this character?" or "She is a new character?" i very sad and angry about it
P/s: sorry for my bad English :'))
Her split scaling makes her kit a bit off so there's that ;_; but yeah, maybe they could add a new hangout event for her in the next patches so that I could watch her perform again
For me, I goes for two Bollide because her Shield is one of the thing I used the most for elemental reaction. And then two Gladiator for her attack. So a balanced attack and defense. :D
Xinyan easily became one of my DPS’s when I first got her when she came out. I love her personality and IMO she’s useful as long as u know how to build her. Although I will say that Mihoyo did kinda messed up on what they really wanted to do with her since she’s a balanced character when it comes to her ATK and DEF instead of leaning more on one side or the other.
Still I enjoy how she plays and works and I was so glad that she finally got more screen time after a year since her debut. I always appreciate videos like these so thanks for taking the time to make this. It’s always good to know more about characters we like.
Any updated notes/thoughts now that we had our third Lantern rite? Xinyan, as always, was a treat to watch
I want haired down Xinyan. I bet she is gorgeous.
there are more than few characters that would look gorgeous with long freed hair.
The story from “before sun and moon” is like high fantasy sci-fi to me…awesome stuff
I was playing this video as I do my dailies and my xinyan reached friendship 10 as I did
I love this video, ty a lot for creating this content, greatings from argentina :D
I never got to see the first Lantern Rite. It was during a time I stopped playing the game. Either cuz it took up too much storage on my phone or I was getting too busy. But I greatly enjoyed it. And spending time with Keqing, one of my favorites and I feel underappreciated characters, had brought tears to my eyes.. Especially since it seems the devs don't care that much. And I was very happy to see Xinyan and Yun Jin. I do really like Xinyan as a character. But I greatly adored Lantern Rite.. And since it was going on at the same time as I was doing Liyue's Main Quest... I think it made the event extra special to me. I really enjoyed ver. 2.4. And I feel a much closer connection and liking to the Liyue Characters. They've left the greatest impacts on me. Compared to everyone else.
The event was a huge upgrade from last year and I think the devs listened to the community about adding the characters in the open world. It made the event more lively and had a lot of wholesome moments. Can't wait for the next festival.
@@KlemenTime I agree with the lively part. I didn't get to participate in the first one. But when all of the Lantern Rite decorations were put away. And the NPCs just poofed away.. Liyue Harbor.. Suddenly felt very very empty. And lonely. I think the characters should be in the world more often. And not just for special events.
I watched it after finishing Itto's rock n roll event. Hoyo really should've added Xinyan there!!!
Her instrument is actually influenced by the Tang Dynasty yaogu btw
Xinyan best girl
And YunJin is her no.1 fan
I'd Love to see them interact if Xinyan hangout ever happens
Hello klemen did you delete the enkanomiya video? I saw the notification but can't find it now.
Hi Demonic Flame! Yeah we unlisted yesterday because of some needed changes. I posted the updated one, together with the Xinyan video 😊
How do you record these videos ??? Gmod ???
Pretty sure Math-rock is just a silly term for dice.
Onboard the Alcor, onboard! Please don't toss Xinyan out to sea!! D: I love Xinyan! Please don't! D:
Please note that rock & roll music comes from Black American culture!
Hench why Xinyan is Tanned. But plenty of Blacks call Mihoyo racist and Colorist for this.
@@silverhawkscape2677 no, they call them colourist when fans redraw her and make her extremely pale. I can see why they call hoyoverse racist, because it’s the darker skinned/tanned character that is seen as aggressive and scary bc of the way she looks. what i said has nothing to do with Hoyoverse, but provides context for the video. The entire world doesn’t know that it was a Black woman who created and pioneered rock & roll music. Most popular genres in the US were created and pioneered by Black Americans, mostly women. But because of racism, this fact gets overlooked.
W VIDDDDDDDDD 🤝🤝🤝🤝
:D
Decent this is. You definitely need to research Promo`SM!!
Literally the only reason I don’t like her is her accent, but this video convinced me to give her another chance
Unpopular opinion: Xinyan is under represented because she’s the only black character in the game.. I said what I said
That is not the reason why she is underrepresented and mind you that she doesn't belong to the black race under any circumstances.
popular opinion: this kind of comments are stupid baits placed by butthurt people. you have 9gag and twitter for that. Act accordingly.
Funny. Sumeru us clearly Indian inspired but all of the Sumeru people we see are as light as Mondstadt.
@@silverhawkscape2677 I just find it funny that the only “brown girl” has one of the worst gameplay setup.
I sincerely hope that Xinyan receives a Hangout event soon. She seems like one of the characters that I’d love to be able to simply sit down and chat with.
I agree. Xinyan has a bubbly personality which is actually fun to be with
I’m starting to think we’ll get her hangout in Fontaine…I’m really hoping that is their plan
