I hope Sdv saves save onto a cloud because I haven’t actually opened the game since my computer broke a month back and I had to get a new hard drive-
Edit: 2 nice people have confirmed it is the case, so thank you to them :3 and happy joys for anyone else in my situation 🌟

finished xianyun's story quest
god that was so sweet maybe I a bit biased because i adore the liyue cast but that was one of most interesting story quests I have done and I just did like 8 of them within the past few weeks
seeing ganyu, shenhe, xiao, ping, xingiqu and ofc the loml zhongli is sooo nice. i love when you get to meet other playable characters and this one was full of great character interactions
the best story quests manage to use npcs but also allow for the main character to display significant growth and strength
also cloud retainer has been one of my favorite characters since the game came out like i have loved her since 1.1 so every time she opens her mouth is a sense of joy
cloud retainer being lonely and meeting up with ganyu and shenhe was so sweet (and when her disciples praise her she is overjoyed how sweet)
and then she meets with ping and god i was surprised to see xiao
i love xiao dearly he is so sweet i love seeing him but it was also nice to know archon war details, especially about cloud retainers combat prowess
As for the npcs that was weepy but I dont think i have enough emotional attachment to 2 hour npcs to weep like its not impossible but it really depends
also the traveler's dream! that was so sweet and xianyun was so kind god i love cloud retainer. I think it was a very nice cinematic
cloud retainer!!! xianyun!!! she is proud but gentle and loving, she wont say she is lonely but you have to visit her and talk with her!! and she loves taking care of people and she loves her friends i love you my dear! and god she is funny like so funny.
ZHONGLI MY LOVE i knew he was coming i saw the leaks BUT MY LOVE kisses smooches holds and squeezes
the way zhongli and xianyun acted was comedic gold and then the whole team alongside shuyu going out to eat like that was so precious like really really precious
i think its funny how zhongli is like renowned in liyue for his knowledge on everything like people hold him in such high regard
the beauty of recognizing your friends and family no matter what form they take
I think its a little endearing that of all their friends hearing "xianyun" from zhongli's lips makes her a little flustered. Like she wants to zhongli to be the one person that calls her true name and that’s wonderful
EVERYBODY recognizes xianyun and they shower her with praises she is very loved!
But I think what really cemented this quest for me, was the post-quest dialogue, once you finish the story quest you get voicelines for characters and while I dont have shenhe i do have ganyu and zhongli and xianyun herself.
Anyway I think the beauty is once you complete the story quest in "Xianyun's Troubles" she states she is overwhelmed by how many new and old friends keep knocking on her door asking to hang out and that shes running out of Mora. Xianyun being lonely this whole time, and not understanding why all of her disciples and friends choose to live in the harbor, but the moment she enters the harbor she is overwhelmed with her friends. Like that is so beautiful and sweet.
(bonus: at cloud retainer's abode there is a table for rex lapis, guizhong and cloud retainer, usually the plates for cloud retainer and guizhong are still there but after the quest only guizhong's things remain-how bittersweet but oddly lovely)
