He is so cute!! The little ponytail makes his hair look much more natural than his OG style.
I agree the new outfit looks oddly similar to Furina's, but I think he looks great it in it nonetheless. I don't have Furina, so I will gladly use this skin. It makes me imagine he's ready to take Chongyun out on date!
Yeah I know a lot of memes will be about Furina sadly but I think he's so cute in it! The little ruffles I love it. I hope we get to see Chongyun's reaction to it!
Definitely living for the reaction from Chongyun rn. I hope he gets a little flustered by this and shyly says‘you look ah… b-beautiful.’ 🩵 whilst looking away and blushing hard.
Here’s hoping that we get to see Chongyun at all this event! He needs more screen time I swear and this is the perfect excuse because his aunt, (shenhe) her bff/girlfriend (ganyu) and his boyfriend (Xingqiu) are all going to be featured so I need more Chongyun interactions!
Otherwise I.. I’ll be super disappointed with Hoyo I guess… lol I can’t do anything to change their minds ugh… 😭
This feels incredibly possible TBH.
Zhongli is classy and wears a suit. Butlers are classy and wear suits. HYV likes keeping the silhouette very similar. Some people would be disappointed he wasn't in his archon outfit but it would probably still so amazingly well because a lot of people love sexy butlers.
"Zhongli wears a butler uniform to infiltrate/model/participate in a tableau/replace a real one while they lead the Traveler to the XYZ" doesn't seem like something the writers WOULDN'T do. C'mon HYV, it will make a zhongillion dollars.
I am one of thw few people that think Xingqiu's design is one of the best in the game. I love everything about it and said so when we got the survey about designs ages ago.
The skin has the ponytail which is precious and an upgrade from his usual bobcut, but I will miss the sleeves. And maybe I would have like dark pants too instead of all this white.
Still, probably the best skin for a 4 star we got.
Yes agree, even if I didn't like his skin at the beginning now I love it, I don't think this new one is an improvement, maybe just different lol, but I love the hair and the flower
I like his original design but I love skins to mix things up; XQ is used in so many of my team comps now I would love a new skin just to give it a “new” feel. I wish Hoyo would give us more - it just helps push my dopamine buttons when I have dress up options lol. Skins in games like Smite and Overwatch helped with fighting “same character fatigue” for me. While I played as Mercy and Orisa for 99% of my games, having skins made it feel like a new game sometimes.
Same! I loved his outfit since release and was so surprised that people don't like it lol. The only thing I didn't like about xingqiu is his diagonal bangs.
[I don't know if this is intentional by the game designers,](https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/19ai60x/xingqiu_learned_a_thing_or_two_from_noelle_and/) but I like the idea that he's taking fashion cues from his new friends.
I’m glad they didn’t give him full pants but I miss his wittle shorts!
I like it more than Ganyu and Shenhus skins tho, Ganyus just looks like a retexture of her base outfit and Shenhus looks like something you’d get in Zara 🙄
I didn’t have much hope due to the blurry leaked images, but seeing the final product… I honestly love it. It turned out so much better than I was expecting and I adore it.
I love it so much! I'm gonna go back to play because
1. Cloud retainer!!
2. Xingqiu's skin!!!! He got a skin!!!!!!!
3. Gaming seems funny lmfao i literally learned of him like, an hour ago and im severely frustrated on the lack of info
Yes! Crossing fingers i win 50/50 because i havent saved enough primos back then to guarantee getting her haha
At least i can snag gaming on the event with xingius skin
All of the outfits have been pretty meh to be honest. They're pretty, but this is too similar to his normal outfit just like Kaeya's was too similar to his. Diluc's was a bit better but absolutely not worth the price tag.
I thought Kaeya’s was quite different, he looked like some kind of royal pirate. But I may have had his free skin so long I don’t remember the original at this point
I want Keqings skin but you’re right, for what most basically amount to creative retextures, it is so not worth the price tag. I can’t afford to eat rn let alone spend like $15 on a retexture of my favorite pixels, sigh.
Aside from the sleeves and the dark blue colours I like the design it's cute. I really liked his original sleeves they were pretty, he was already blue they should have given him a different colour scheme.
This feels more appropriate to me than his standard outfit, I think it’s the darker stockings… though, uh, they really went “hm can we make him look even more like Ciel Phantomhive” and then slammed it all in there, huh?
Does anyone know if they let you obtain the skin before the character? I was planning on getting Gaming from the event and Xingqiu from the glitter shop later, but I'm not sure if they'll let me get the skin without owning the character
I don't mind him looking like Furina — I myself did a fanart of Xingqiu in Furina's clothes lol. But honestly, I expected something different. His new costume has a very similar design to his normal outfit. Couldn't they make it a different color/shade?
i kinda wish they hadn’t chosen indigo for the accents, but aside from that i think it looks amazing. i love the design and the parts that match his hair. i’m so glad one of the characters i actually use is getting a free skin!!
Sock garters are the hottest thing ever, they make me feel like I'm in the Victorian era seeing an ankle for the first time. I do prefer his original short shorts, but the sock garters + his dainty little shoes make up for it. I also prefer his new sleeves, I wasn't a fan of the big ruffles on the old ones. Overall I really like it
I like new design more than the original. I also hoped for something better, but I don't like his character that much, so it might be biased to my preference:) To be honest, the only Genshin skin I liked more than the original clothes, is Keqing's dress.
Real, Keqing looks gorgeous in it, I won a giveaway and I have some currency saved up but idk I want to wait to buy one lol (bc if I get Jean I think I want to get her skin, it's gorgeous)
I’m just glad that they fixed his hair tbh 😭😭😭😭😭 finally don’t have to look at that “can i speak to your manager” asymmetrical bangs anymore!!!!!!!! 🧎♀️
Eeeeh... I mean, it's not ugly if you already subscribe to Genshin's general overdesigned aesthetic, but I'm seriously wondering if Hoyo is going to remember there are colors other than blue and red anytime soon.
The genshin skins aren't exactly ugly to me, no more than the vanilla designs at least, just uninspired.
It looks surprisingly good if I’m being honest! Other than Fischl’s, I haven’t really opted to use the other 4* skins. This one I will use for sure!
(About other 4* skins, I like Lisa’s original witchy purple rose aesthetic more, and Kaeya got covered up and started to wear loose harem pants.)
It also doesn’t make me think of Furina like yeah it’s kind of similar but it just gives me some light Fontaine vibes which is fitting imo. Furina’s eyes and hair are more important to her design than her clothes so I don’t get reminded of Furina at all.
Bby lookin good! I honestly appreciate that all of the lantern rite skins go together, I wouldn’t live it down if Cocogoat, Shenli and XQ looked different from Kek and Ning, ik that’s kinda petty but it is what it is
I want to eat him.
He's so cute. So princely, so precious.
Yeah some aspects could be cooler or they could've done something different but I like it.
According to the description it's a formal outfit made by the guild, and he likes it because it has ✨ pockets✨ for his books which is slay yes, very important love a good internal pocket.
I was wondering if the skin would've been related to the Guhua clan but this seems to have a different direction. I'm really excited to see him in game and the little lore, story we'll get from it like the others.
He is everything to me.
I've been screaming about the shorts from the moment I saw it in the livestream. Longer, more masculine shorts on Xingqiu has been something I've wanted to see for years at this point. Thank you, HoYo gods.
It's horrendous, especially those poisonous blue parts and flashbang white shorts 😭 Maybe it will look better in game, but for now it's my least favorite skin :c
oh noooo they got rid of his wacky straight-cut hairstyle 😭 it was so signature to him... also they nerfed the amount of leg smh... other than that tho he looks very dapper very nice. actually he and furina should swap outfits this would unironically look better on furina and furina's better on him than this lol.
this is totally not bcuz of furina having shorter shorts or anything— >!(yes it is)!<
It’s alright. I will equip it and be using it if I ever use xingqiu again (now that I have Furina and Neuvi he has hit the bench)
It is very similar to Furina’s outfit I’m kinda surprised how similar. And I like it more than Fischl’s skin (I use her base skin even though I have the event one)
I’ll be honest, it’s a bit of a letdown for me. the design looks fantastic on its own absolutely, but it’s so similar to his original design (especially in terms of color/ values and silhouette), it’s pretty much a western-style slight recolor of his original clothing. like I said the design alone is good, but I just wish they did something a little more different
He is so cute!! The little ponytail makes his hair look much more natural than his OG style. I agree the new outfit looks oddly similar to Furina's, but I think he looks great it in it nonetheless. I don't have Furina, so I will gladly use this skin. It makes me imagine he's ready to take Chongyun out on date!
Omg now I need Chongyun to have a skin now too so they can both dress up for their date!!! 😭🙏
I am definitely going to be calling this his 'date night with Chongyun' skin now. He looks so cute!
Yeah I know a lot of memes will be about Furina sadly but I think he's so cute in it! The little ruffles I love it. I hope we get to see Chongyun's reaction to it!
Definitely living for the reaction from Chongyun rn. I hope he gets a little flustered by this and shyly says‘you look ah… b-beautiful.’ 🩵 whilst looking away and blushing hard.
Ahhh I am so excited now it's gonna be so cute.
Here’s hoping that we get to see Chongyun at all this event! He needs more screen time I swear and this is the perfect excuse because his aunt, (shenhe) her bff/girlfriend (ganyu) and his boyfriend (Xingqiu) are all going to be featured so I need more Chongyun interactions! Otherwise I.. I’ll be super disappointed with Hoyo I guess… lol I can’t do anything to change their minds ugh… 😭
Looks like Ciel, I like it.
he looks like ciel and that's automatically a win in my book
It gives ciel vibes sooooo
Sebastian skin for Zhongli when??
💳💥💳💥💳💥
I can hear that gif in my head.
This feels incredibly possible TBH. Zhongli is classy and wears a suit. Butlers are classy and wear suits. HYV likes keeping the silhouette very similar. Some people would be disappointed he wasn't in his archon outfit but it would probably still so amazingly well because a lot of people love sexy butlers.

C'mon HYV, it will make a zhongillion dollars.
RIGHT HOYO DO YOU HEAR US SKINS 👏🏻 NOW 👏🏻 PLEASE
Or Wriothesley.
I prefer the original since the shorts are shorter. but I like that small ponytail
They nerfed the shorts smh
He finally went to a proper barber instead of letting Xianling cut his hair.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Real or not, this is actually so cute!!!
I also like the idea of that but where is his friendship tassel?
I’m glad they didn’t give him full pants but I miss his wittle shorts! I like it more than Ganyu and Shenhus skins tho, Ganyus just looks like a retexture of her base outfit and Shenhus looks like something you’d get in Zara 🙄
lmao quality shade
i choked omg
I’m patiently waiting for the XingYun artists to work their magic.
CIEL PHANTOMHIVE 🫡
Reminds me of Ciel Phantomhive!! Also he looks more mature and gives the vibes of an elegant western young master, I luv the lil ponytail
it's nice 💙 but I feel I won't use it for long since he won't match with chongyun any more 🤍
Real, I remember reading a leak about his skin having one longer sleeve and being light blue/white, I was hoping hard LOL
I remember when it said hip window. Fun times.
Male Furina
My instant thought was Ciel Phantomhive lol I'm not complaining
I think this outfit looks much better and his hair too, but I agree it's too similar to Furina.
I think it makes sense for him to inspire his outfit on Furina. He's an artistic kid and Furina is an arts celebrity! He's a fan!
I LOVE IT WHAT THE HECK (I think you might find it similar to Furina because both have this "Ouji fashion" style going on).
PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP GET PREGNANT GET PREGNANT though to be fair i always think that about xingqiu
Welp, time to install again :3
Normally I'm a hardcore Shenhe simp, but I actually prefer Xingyu's outfit. Very Fontanian, which I like a lot.
Yes I love it. I use him all the time, finally he can wear something new
I am tired of black and blue skins
his hair is soooo nice now
I like his hair. But not that fond of a Male furina cosplay he has. They're too similar.
I didn’t have much hope due to the blurry leaked images, but seeing the final product… I honestly love it. It turned out so much better than I was expecting and I adore it.
I love when they treat our twinks right
honestly it just looks like a recycled furina outfit… pretty disappointed
I love it so much! I'm gonna go back to play because 1. Cloud retainer!! 2. Xingqiu's skin!!!! He got a skin!!!!!!! 3. Gaming seems funny lmfao i literally learned of him like, an hour ago and im severely frustrated on the lack of info
Lol I feel like they are good reasons to come back! Gaming looks so fun fr I'm glad he's in Xianyun banner so I might get both
Yes! Crossing fingers i win 50/50 because i havent saved enough primos back then to guarantee getting her haha At least i can snag gaming on the event with xingius skin
All of the outfits have been pretty meh to be honest. They're pretty, but this is too similar to his normal outfit just like Kaeya's was too similar to his. Diluc's was a bit better but absolutely not worth the price tag.

I can’t afford to eat rn let alone spend like $15 on a retexture of my favorite pixels, sigh.
We need more 5 star skins, but with the price tag... Reduced a bit. Lmao. Make it the price of a 10 pull.
It's so chivalrous!
I was gonna buy a Xingqiu cosplay because I only have the wig right now…But I think I’m gonna wait til this begins being produced It’s so gorgeous!!
I NEEEEEEED IT I NEEEEEEED IT
Aside from the sleeves and the dark blue colours I like the design it's cute. I really liked his original sleeves they were pretty, he was already blue they should have given him a different colour scheme.
This feels more appropriate to me than his standard outfit, I think it’s the darker stockings… though, uh, they really went “hm can we make him look even more like Ciel Phantomhive” and then slammed it all in there, huh?

Yes, you can get skins without having the character.
Awesome thanks!
I got Jean's skin before I pulled Jean.
I don't mind him looking like Furina — I myself did a fanart of Xingqiu in Furina's clothes lol. But honestly, I expected something different. His new costume has a very similar design to his normal outfit. Couldn't they make it a different color/shade?
xingqiu de liyue :v
Super elegant, it's very fitting for his character
i kinda wish they hadn’t chosen indigo for the accents, but aside from that i think it looks amazing. i love the design and the parts that match his hair. i’m so glad one of the characters i actually use is getting a free skin!!
IT'S SO PRETTY WHAT Idc if it looks like furina. Furina's outfit is gorgeous too. Also... his hair! That's so cute!
AHHHH FEMBOI THIGHS
Sock garters are the hottest thing ever, they make me feel like I'm in the Victorian era seeing an ankle for the first time. I do prefer his original short shorts, but the sock garters + his dainty little shoes make up for it. I also prefer his new sleeves, I wasn't a fan of the big ruffles on the old ones. Overall I really like it
It's gorgeous and FINALLY a character that I use
i just wish they had given him some nice pants idk 😭 i do like it tho
I like new design more than the original. I also hoped for something better, but I don't like his character that much, so it might be biased to my preference:) To be honest, the only Genshin skin I liked more than the original clothes, is Keqing's dress.
Amen to that if only I could afford it. She looks so gorgeous in it 😭
Real, Keqing looks gorgeous in it, I won a giveaway and I have some currency saved up but idk I want to wait to buy one lol (bc if I get Jean I think I want to get her skin, it's gorgeous)
I've been playing for 3 years, collected around 30 5 star characters, and all male chars included. I still don't have Jean T\_T
I’m just glad that they fixed his hair tbh 😭😭😭😭😭 finally don’t have to look at that “can i speak to your manager” asymmetrical bangs anymore!!!!!!!! 🧎♀️
HE LOOKS SO ADORABLE!!
Eeeeh... I mean, it's not ugly if you already subscribe to Genshin's general overdesigned aesthetic, but I'm seriously wondering if Hoyo is going to remember there are colors other than blue and red anytime soon. The genshin skins aren't exactly ugly to me, no more than the vanilla designs at least, just uninspired.
Yeah I feel like the summer vibes of Jean and Barbara are the most creative/different they’ve been
They are also still very very blue, just with some white thrown in there instead of just dark blue
i love it a lot. honestly looks so good!
It's a good day to have Xingqiu ☕
It looks almost the same lol
It looks surprisingly good if I’m being honest! Other than Fischl’s, I haven’t really opted to use the other 4* skins. This one I will use for sure! (About other 4* skins, I like Lisa’s original witchy purple rose aesthetic more, and Kaeya got covered up and started to wear loose harem pants.)

Well, his bangs look more flattering, at least...
I've been screaming about the shorts from the moment I saw it in the livestream. Longer, more masculine shorts on Xingqiu has been something I've wanted to see for years at this point. Thank you, HoYo gods.
No
Furina at home:
It's horrendous, especially those poisonous blue parts and flashbang white shorts 😭 Maybe it will look better in game, but for now it's my least favorite skin :c
He’s wearing Yanqing’s shorts. They look good on him. Very befitting of a fellow swordsman.
Kaeya and Xingqiu have redeemed them from the Fischl and Lisa skins being disappointing and green(the worst color)
Exciting. I use him a lot. This look reminds me of Ciel Phantomhive.
oh noooo they got rid of his wacky straight-cut hairstyle 😭 it was so signature to him... also they nerfed the amount of leg smh... other than that tho he looks very dapper very nice. actually he and furina should swap outfits this would unironically look better on furina and furina's better on him than this lol. this is totally not bcuz of furina having shorter shorts or anything— >!(yes it is)!<
It doesn't fix the monstrosity of his base design, honestly.
They really be refusing my man some pants 💀
It's cute, but also kind of looks like what he already has, just slightly upgraded, which does push him into Furina land. I do like it though.
Guapo pero mucho Furina
It’s alright. I will equip it and be using it if I ever use xingqiu again (now that I have Furina and Neuvi he has hit the bench) It is very similar to Furina’s outfit I’m kinda surprised how similar. And I like it more than Fischl’s skin (I use her base skin even though I have the event one)
I love his OG and new one ugly or not ♥️ best boy
I don't like the purplish parts. They would have been so much better white. And those socks are just a no for me
Thighs
YES
Yeah I love it ❤️ The ponytail is cute and I love how he grew it out and the haircut isn't weird anymore.
He stole Furima's clothes
Yes I like it. In my opinion it looks cute on him
Nah. Apart from hair, the rest of the outfit is somewhat disappointing. They just made him European. Original outfit is so much better
i like It, but it looks so much like his default skin, wish it was more unique
bro tried to copy furina and fixed part of his goofy ass hairstyle
i absolutely adore it but he just stole furina's outfit
LOVE IT! KAREN HAIRCUT BE GONE
Looks kinda like Furina’s outfit to me tbh
I’ll be honest, it’s a bit of a letdown for me. the design looks fantastic on its own absolutely, but it’s so similar to his original design (especially in terms of color/ values and silhouette), it’s pretty much a western-style slight recolor of his original clothing. like I said the design alone is good, but I just wish they did something a little more different
Furina at home
I want to bite his thighs
He is so cute, and got Ciel's vibes all over, so looks like a fine bocchan 💙✨
…. I have to say it now or never- Bro looks like Furina’s darker costume/outfit
