In the realm of Genshin Impact, character design sparks heated debates among fans. In a recent online discussion, users have pointed out the striking similarities between male character XQ and another popular character, Furina.

Summary

  • Enthusiasts see striking resemblances to Furina’s outfit in XQ’s new skin.
  • Opinions diverge on whether this design overlap is intentional or happens to be a coincidence.
  • Some users speculate this might have to do with lore or a future event.

User Opinions

Curiously, the design similarity has not led to a consensus among Genshin Impact fans. As Moist-Branch-2521 noted, ‘The skin suits Xingqiu much better than his original’, while others preferred the full pants look.

Speculation and Connnections

As ever in the gaming world, fan speculation quickly entered overdrive. Could there be a deeper connection between the two characters as suggested by Schmedricks_27? Or, as Wodstarfallisback jokingly asked ‘Would they fight about it or would they make a band?’.

Cosplay or Copycats?

DullPreparation6453’s comment ‘I’m guessing he’s in a play starring as Furina’ suggests the game developers are playing with the idea of costumes and cosplay, adding another layer of interpretation to an already complex controversy.

Who will have the final say on the ‘Male Furina’ controversy? Will it be the fans, the creators, or the characters themselves? Only time will tell; in the meantime, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more interesting developments in the Genshin Impact community.
