A few years ago, the term "second-level gamer" might have been a term that would die in the spotlight, but now more and more gamers have begun to identify with this identity and dare to show their identities and hobbies in public. For players of "Honkai Impact 3rd" (hereinafter referred to as "Honkai Impact 3rd"), the shock from the second dimension will be even stronger.
At a comic convention some time ago, there was a Gold Dust fan who bought gold out of his own pocket and gave it as a "free gift" to the lucky people at the scene, allowing everyone to truly experience the Gold Dust's "money-throwing" personality offline.
And a few days before the release of the 2.5 version of "Star Iron", a wealthy fan named Fei Xiao used her own helicopter to pull out a cheering banner and used real money to give the players a big treat again.
This is just the tip of the iceberg showing the popularity of the character "Fei Xiao". Long before the release of version 2.5, Fei Xiao had already become a popular character for "Star Iron" players. His cool and capable appearance, the nickname "Great Victory General", and his life story behind his identity as a general have all become topics of discussion. As for the cool skill effects shown in the preview of the new version 2.5, and the benefits of giving everyone 1,000 Xing Qiong, it adds a lot of color to it.
Whether it is the banners pulled by helicopters used by Feixiao fans, or the benefits given to everyone in her name, Feixiao has been loved and recognized by many players. If we want to delve into the reasons, the characterization of Feixiao is the most critical, and the description of labels such as "Yaoqing" and "General" are one of them. As for how to shape and describe these labels with Chinese style, the effort behind it is not as simple as just finding a few Chinese style elements and putting on a "Chinese trend" packaging.
The "Great Victory" General and the "Three Nothings" General
To discuss the portrayal of Feixiao, we must first start with her heroic first impression.
In the background, the "Yaoqing" fairy boat has a close cooperative relationship with the Interstellar Peace Company, which allows it to retain its traditional cultural heritage while showing a simple and capable modern style. Therefore, Feixiao's clothing rarely has decorations with unknown meanings, but is more particular about clothing styles and patterns. We can see the combination of "coat + belt", which reflects the simplicity and practicality of modern times, and we can also find the design of "horse-faced skirt" from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In terms of action, Fei Xiao is not limited to using a single weapon, and can use axes, gun blades and other weapons. Whether it is using dual-weapon attacks in finishing moves, or shooting the hunting arrows that penetrate the battlefield and kill the opponent in one blow in the plot, Fei Xiao's image as a general with good combat power and invincibility is fully demonstrated.
In addition to her appearance, Feixiao is young in Xianzhou, which makes her less cunning and more friendly than the two generals Jingyuan and Huaiyan who also appeared in Xianzhou. In the previous version of the story, Feixiao can speak righteously in front of the other two generals, but she will also call Yukong, who is much older than her, "Sister Yukong".
Although the outside world calls her the "Great Victory" general, she personally prefers the "Three No" titles of "No Regrets", "No Regrets" and "Invincible". These two descriptions are the most realistic portrayal of Fei Xiao's personality: no airs, likes to be straightforward, but at the same time is also very gentle to those who care about her. Therefore, although Fei Xiao did not appear much in the previous version, it is precisely this outline of the inside and outside that allows such a heroic, yet simple and gentle image of the general to be presented to everyone.
However, if you want to truly understand a character, appearance is only one aspect; her life experiences and her inner thoughts are the key to shaping the character's soul.
Real people are never perfect.
Before talking about Feixiao's experience and life story, we need to briefly mention the villain who plays "opposite" with her, Bu Liren Zhan Shou Hu Lei. In the plot, he is aware of his situation and understands that when the enemy is strong and we are weak, there are not many choices he can make. Therefore, under the relentless pressure of Feixiao, he finally dug out his heart "Red Moon" and wanted to assimilate Feixiao with it to continue Bu Liren's fate.
After understanding the villain's motives, we can follow the development of the plot and gradually understand the secrets hidden behind Feixiao.
Initially, Feixiao was just an oppressed Buliren "war slave". After escaping from hell and being rescued by the Xianzhou Alliance, she followed the former General Yaoqing to fight all over the world and became a member of the army. After the former general's death, she inherited her will and gradually became the current General Yaoqing, leading the team to achieve "great victories". The Buliren bloodline makes Feixiao invincible, but at the same time, this characteristic also puts her at risk of being swallowed by the Buliren's bestiality. In order not to implicate others, she always rushes to the front in battle and takes everything on herself.
Therefore, when Hu Lei released the "Red Moon" and prepared to die together, in order to protect others, Fei Xiao resolutely chose to swallow this dangerous monster himself and bear the consequences of this danger. Under the influence of the "Red Moon", Fei Xiao's deep doubts and fears began to show one by one.
As a general who has fought countless battles, Feixiao's hands are stained with countless blood. Although he fights to save the weak in name, but after discarding this warm disguise, it seems to be a battle of the jungle between the immortal boat and the Buli people. Why is he fighting? This has become a question in Feixiao's mind.
Besides suspicion, the fear of bloodline is also a problem for Feixiao. Because of Buliren bloodline, Feixiao can burst out amazing power in battle, but this "gift" also makes Feixiao born to fight against the beast-like nature. With a single thought, the general of Xianzhou will become a bloodthirsty beast, and the enemy of Xianzhou…
Under the influence of the "Red Moon", suspicion and fear are constantly magnified, and Hu Lei, whose physical body has disappeared, uses it as nourishment and becomes Fei Xiao's "inner demon". It can be said that Fei Xiao is fighting with himself rather than Hu Lei in the end. In this process, Fei Xiao not only regains his self and gets the response of the "hunting" star god, but also the character image he created before is further emphasized and sublimated in this conflict.
In short, it is precisely because of the sufficient shaping that we can feel the charm of the character of Feixiao from multiple angles. She is beautiful, has enough roles, is strong enough, and at the same time, like ordinary people, she also has a soft side. And Bu Liren's bloodline requires her to constantly fight against her own nature, and makes suspicion and fear become the weaknesses of her character. Although there are flaws in such an image of Feixiao, it is this imperfect personality that makes the image of Feixiao "alive", more real, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, such an image is more like a "person" rather than just a virtual "hero".
Conclusion
In addition to Feixiao's story, we can also find many other highlights and foreshadowings in version 2.5 of "Star Iron".
For example, in the part where Hu Lei was forced to the Jingfeng warship, in addition to Fei Xiao's bravery, Jing Yuan's behind-the-scenes planning also played an important role. It was because of his arrangement that Hu Lei's efforts to escape Luofu ultimately ended in failure. The combination of Jing Yuan and Fei Xiao, one literary and one martial, can also be said to be an important reason why everyone can enjoy the new version of the plot.
What makes players even more curious is the foreshadowing after the main storyline. Through the fact that Luosha, Jingliu and Chiming Elders betrayed each other, the Marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance and several other generals have already appeared in the story, and the appearance of Ruan Mei and the "real" Tingyun at the end of the main storyline makes people think a lot.
Although these contents are not very long, they all show the core of the characters in details and plots. In just a few words, they leave enough room for players' imagination. And this idea of focusing on the core image of the characters is essentially consistent with the previous shaping of Feixiao.
It is also under this creative thinking that we can see the flesh-and-blood character creation of Fei Xiao, and this kind of perfect details and plot makes us look forward to the characters and adventure stories that will appear next. After all, after so many versions of the test, "Star Iron" has never disappointed players in terms of quality, whether it is character creation or version plot.
