Did anyone else think this was Qiqi.

Sadly the girl didn't die a sad death, so It is unlikely Qiqi. The hair and the eyes are different as well. But collecting Violet Grass then falling is what happen to Qiqi also doing so in order to help her sick mother parallels her current job in collecting herbs to help the sick. They also both have bandage on their left wrist.

It maybe the same VA, but I couldn't tell.

IIRC Qiqi died as a casualty in one of Xiao's battles.

YannFrost2026-01-28 06:09

she fell first and hurt her leg.

Andromeda_Violet2026-01-28 07:16

That was never confirmed

KiwinatingWizard2026-01-28 07:17

It's heavily implied, ever since he is the only one who had collateral damage.

Andromeda_Violet2026-01-28 07:20

I respectfully disagree.

KiwinatingWizard2026-01-28 07:21

Who else could that be?

Andromeda_Violet2026-01-28 07:23

Anyone. Think of zhongli throwing huge spears, or anything else of that scale. It can be absolutely anyone from the adepti since we barely know of their battles. Karmic debt isn't the only thing that can cause collateral damage.

KiwinatingWizard2026-01-28 07:27

IIRC only yakshas fought demons on a daily basis post-war.

Andromeda_Violet2026-01-28 07:29

My memory says qiqi died during the war tho..

KiwinatingWizard2026-01-28 07:30

IIRC it was 500-1000 years prior to the game starts. Xiao's allegations still stand.

azaleapom2026-01-28 08:10

I don’t think there’s any mention of when Qiqi died and Qiqi’s character story implies the battle involved multiple adepti and demons. It’s only a theory because she has two voicelines about Xiao

ImaginationNo80082026-01-28 09:53

Thought it was like 80-200

imbusthul2026-01-28 08:04

It wasn't in the Archon War. It was way later.

Bpowell112026-01-29 02:18

I disrespectfully agree.

RubApprehensive25122026-01-28 08:21

The story does say it was a crossfire between adepti and demons. It also mentions that the adepti shared their power to bring her back to life: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Qiqi/Profile#Official\_Introduction:\~:text=This%20ancient%20story,maiden%20in%20amber.

This implies more that Xiao was not part of it since Xiao typically doesn't care for human life too much. Moreover, since Xiao would typically be referred to a Yaksha, this also heavily removes implication for him. Especially since Xiao was likely defending the mortal world as that what his main job is anyways.

notthatjaded2026-01-28 06:02

Qiqi got caught in the midst of some Adeptal conflict after falling and then died in the crossfire before they brought her back with their power.

I suppose it's possible that she dies after the end of this teaser and then gets brought back but that seems unlikely.

YannFrost2026-01-28 06:09

I think people forgot. Qiqi didn't just die in a cross fire between demon and adepti. She fell first and hurt her leg.

"An ordinary herb-picking lass named Qiqi lost her way and trespassed the realm of the adepti, **injuring her right leg in a fall,** she hurriedly hid in a cavern to rest.

Even occupied as she was in bandaging her wound, she could hear sounds that did not belong to the mortal plane. But she could have never expected that with a huge crash, she would forever be trapped between life and death."

OI, wording. But I do think it's her for a bit

RadRey092026-01-28 06:37

I too thought she was Qiqi

TheEdelBernal2026-01-28 07:22

>Sadly the girl didn't die a sad death

Wording, dude, wording!

Cyberpuppet2026-01-28 10:32

Do we consider Qiqi dead too because her life sounds like it's being prolonged by her cryo vision that was given to her at the last minute in addition to Adepti life energy.

Zombies mostly require orders from the person who awakens them to move. But strictly speaking, Qiqi has never been awakened.

As such, she counts as a very rare case of a zombie that gives itself orders.

Uhmm... Damn

KuShiroi2026-01-28 08:52

The VA in JP is different at least.

furio7882026-01-28 09:09

"Sadly the girl didnt die a sad death" OKAY BRO 😭

Business-Apricot3122026-01-28 09:26

where is this from?

siriuslupin652026-01-28 09:58

Zibai's teaser that just released

MyAnthroRPAlt2026-01-28 09:39

At first I thought it was going to be her. I even considered the possibility that her encounter with Zibai was some sort of 'border of life and death' dream vision to ease her through her resurrection and she'd wake up as a zombie.

Cyberpuppet2026-01-28 10:02

So we know that Qiqi died somewhere like in a cave or somewhere else and that Qiqi fell. Plus injuring her leg like this girl did. Mentioning it because Qiqi has bandages around the same leg in the trailer and game.

At the end this girl talked about the Guili Assembly which doesn't exist anymore but is a ruin.

The flower she was picking up had to be gathered from climbing up mountain sides. Those are usually abundant up north pass the marsh at Qingce Village near the Bamboo Forest.

The flowers shown were Violet Grass and it is Qiqi's ascension material.

I honestly think Qiqi climbed up again in another time then finally met her demise from Adepti collateral. Then wished so hard to live and got her cryo vision.

Cyberpuppet2026-01-28 10:08

Lastly it sounds like Qiqi's EN VA.

thetavious2026-01-28 10:08

What is this from?

Latter-Oil-2412026-01-28 11:05

After finishing watching the video, my first thought was Urashima Taro?

Natural_Ad15302026-01-28 11:47

It's the same va on JP so I guess it's Qiqi.

Also, I know people hate Qiqi but damn that's too much.

HiMyNameIsRheniel2026-01-28 17:03

The hate is valid in gameplay terms. But I don't think people really hate qiqi in the story. People are just frustrated when losing to qiqi that's all

iorveth12712026-01-28 12:18

Potential Qiqi crumbs in 2026.

Are we back? Please let it be real.

Rex_Lapis_2026-01-28 13:41

No ? Bcs thats not how her story goes

rathosalpha2026-01-28 14:41

Yes

>Sadly the girl didn't die a sad death

What a peculiar thing to say.

Makes me think there were probably a bunch of other people too, even less lucky than Qiqi.

archnemesis042026-01-28 16:47

I thought the same thing at first honestly, The vibes are really similar, especially with the falling scene, but yeah the details give it away once you look closer

leakmydata2026-01-28 17:09

What is that from
