Since Xilonen's idles have now been officially revealed, it's time to actually address this:
This entire ordeal is a prime example of why leaks are harmful.
If you've seen the character reveal, you will know that this animation is NOT Xilonen's idle in the game.
PSA: The term 'expy' is a misnomer in the context of miHoYo's alternate world characters.
Please help us spread the knowledge!

TLDR;
This entire drama was avoidable. Leaks are at fault.
Neither miHoYo nor Oumi Janta did anything wrong.
And *go watch Oumi Janta's work*, she's skilled and talented. Don't send her bad vibes. She's probably catching a lot of unnecessary hate already.

Recently, we've been seeing an interesting recurring phenomenon. Let's call it 'crossover bias'
Spoilers #HonkaiImpact3rd Chapter 5 and HI3 x #HonkaiStarRail Act 1.
miHoYo protagonists!
Black means finished, blue means ongoing.
Excluding major manga arcs, anime and deuteragonists.
Note: This assumes there's no 3rd arc in HI3 Part 1.5

Whenever I see people discuss which is miHoYo's 'favourite child', I shake my head.
Game development and live service business are a lot more complicated than people give it credit for.

A huge chunk of the fanbase believes these character versions are like the Type 1 Expy in the infographic.
So please, and this is especially relevant for content creators and loremasters, move on from the term 'expy'. It has overstayed its welcome, and it's holding us back.

Mister Spaceman here.
#InfinityNikki looks super fun and interesting. Unfortunately, balancing as many miHoYo games as I do, I doubt I'll find the time to get into it.
But this is a fun opportunity to highlight some interesting history between miHoYo and the Nikki series.
Features like these are much easier to implement in an instance based game. It also helps if it was planned in advance. Unlike HSR, Genshin has a complex physics system that is very inviting for weird bugs, and events have a lot of interaction with environmental variables.
Note: I might answer some tweets for clarifications, but I'll avoid going into discussion with anyone.
Beyond clearing up some information as per our mission, it's not this account's purpose to debate.
But if there's a bad error, we'll redo the post with a fix.
