Xiangli's Trailer Proved Me Wrong!

After sharing my major concerns about Xiangli Yao’s character in Wuthering Waves, I watched his trailer.

Now I think I may be wrong!

The moment I watched the trailer, the first thing that came to me was – This looks like Ayanokoji, the main character from Classroom of the Elite.

The trailer gives us a peek at the game’s story and shows off Xiangli’s striking character design. Let’s break it down and see what we’ve got!

First Thoughts

Right off the bat, the trailer shows that Xiangli is a serious, intense character, just like Ayanokoji as an adult.

We can tell he’s smart, tough, and has been through some hard times – all the makings of a great main character. The trailer is four minutes long, which gives us plenty of time to get to know Xiangli and his world.

Voice and Storytelling:

The character’s delivery of lines resonates with the profoundness you expect from a Wuthering Waves Character.

Story Hints:

There’s some action at the end that builds excitement, and left us wanting for more.

Xiangli Yao’s Trailer Review

Content Strength

The focus on the story makes Xiangli stand out, but it might be confusing for people who don’t know much about the game.
The trailer takes its time, as it balances between intricate plot hints and drawing in the audience with visual excitement. This is good for the story but might make it feel slow for some viewers.

Xiangli Yao’s Trailer vs Other Resonator’s Trailer

Compared to trailers for other characters like Yinlin and Jinshi, Xiangli’s trailer feels less spectacular in terms of raw hype and slow in its pacing.
It’s a lot like Changli’s trailer, which we thought was too focused on the story instead of action.

Will It Draw People In?:

Die-hard Weathering Waves fans will probably love learning more about Xiangli’s backstory.
But people who are new to the game or just casual players might find it hard to get into because it relies a lot on understanding the lore context.

Wrap-Up

Overall, Xiangli’s trailer does a great job introducing the character and telling his story. It’s really good at developing the character and the plot, which is both good and bad – it’ll really grab fans who are already into the game but might lose people looking for more action.

While it might not be the most exciting trailer out there, it sets up Xiangli as an important and interesting character in the game. If you’re into game lore, you’ll probably love this trailer.
