      ​@@Hesperus_ I mean... if you had no memories you'd also be operating with the information available.
      Rover has literally no reason NOT to believe it, especially when their power is objectively capable of doing more than any other resonator that we know of.
      It's not a story issue at all... it's a comprehension of Rover's situation issue.
      You want Rover to be more suspicious of others despite the fact that Rover has no reason to be so, especially as the things that Rover learns from others have for the most part been verifiably accurate.
      Rover has a power no other resonator does... because they do and it's constantly demonstrated how.
      The fractsidus mean you harm... because they do and constantly prove as much.

    I agree. My biggest problem with the story is definitely that Kuro seemed to actively avoid interactions between playable Character. It makes me feel like there is no world beyond the MC, like Characters having no live outside of interacting with MC, which onestly made me lose interrest in exploring the world.

      Playable characters that feel like people with their own lives and stories are the ones I'm most invested into and most inclined to pull, so I really hope they'll add more interactions further down the line. And I agree, interactions between Yangyang and Youhu were really nice, but short

      There are probably more, but those were the ones I can remember for now. These are not much yet, but there IS life without Rover. The statement is just so wrong.

      yap session:
      I feel like I kind of disagree so far. I did start the game late, and actively read without skipping, and one of my favorite side stories was with the young girl that goes to the mountain every year to remember her sister who was a resonator who died in the war. I think many of the side stories showcase characters who are living their lives and we just so happen to have caught them at the right moment. After all for the girl in this side story, she does this every year and has been for the last 9 years before this one.
      It wasn't until Yinlin's story that this felt like it actually had a difference, as Yinlin was always going to do her plan and her story just differently until we helped as the player. A bit of a spoiler but in her side story, we learn about people who have lost love ones and who robotic replicates made of their love ones. Well if you read through the robots who were made, one of those robots was that girl in the first side story i mention. She was actively having a robot version of her sister made to apology to her and to make amends, things she said to us as a vent session as she was always going to ask for a robot version of her sister because she still has regrets and still feels pain.
      This is one of the few moments, I think it well made, though I still agree that overall we need more connected interwined stories and more of the mc actively fighting against the narrative in which they were given. But again it's a gacha game and not a traditional rpg, so some things will get lost in translation, metaphorically, because it's still at the beginning and there's a world to create while also trying not to spoil who or what the character is.
      I also don't know the original story and why 90% of it was changed and there may have been parts that fit the mold better that simply got written out. Who knows.

    most of WuWa problems can be trace back because story reworks impact.
    for those who didnt understand the impact, its not simply about rewriting text in game, but re-animating again, re-voicing again, re-coding again, etc that cost lot of money, time, ressources and workforce. which mean all those ressources that can be used to add more contents at release and future patchs, cut short for rewriting story.
    and the result of this at 1.0.
    - bad 1.0 main story(they only have half year to cook it thus seem lack of Quality Controls)
    - bad optimizations on mobile
    - lack of appearances of some chara in main story (yuanwu anyone?)
    - etc
    we can see that KURO still busy fixing game bug and optimizations at 1.1-1.2, and 1.3 is where most issue are fixed. so I guess 1.4 and up KURO can going full force making new contents.

    • @ywzgbf6873
      @ywzgbf6873 День тому +1

      adding more, I myself have theory why KURO doing story rework because what we got make no sense.
      my theory is, KURO being forced to change the story by CN gov where if they dont comply, game cant release.
      the reason is, jinzhou are based on future CN and KURO portrayal of jinzhou in CBT giving future CN bad image, lot of unggrateful and annoying ppl. thus we got what we have today. everyone happy, bright future, high sense responsibility, etc.
      when thinking about it, almost nobody get benefit changing jinzhou like that, not even KURO(its harm WuWa instead) considering they've marketing WuWa as dark and dangerous apocalyptic world. the one who get benefit of this are CN gov image showing future CN are like this, they also the entity that can force company like KURO wasting money rewriting story regardless the impact to the game.

      I also blame it on hastily rewritten story. Changing elements in the beginning, they had to adjust their plans for the whole 1.X story most likely. And it seems they cut out a lot of character development and character interactions. They shouldn't have changed the CBT story completely, only adjust the parts that players found the most annoying.

    I totally agree, most of the character a lacking screentime of interaction for us to emotionaly invested. But some of them really good and delivered especially with shorekeeper and encore story (Idk if you play it already). good enough for us to actually understand them. They could give a bit more time to make us love them.
    the problem about the story is not Wuwa exclusive but Genshin also have he same problem. probably most of CN gacha, They are too immerse too explain about heir lore and it can be very convoluted. the difference is genshin already repeated the concept until it make sense later on down the patch.
    If I want to compare and hope that these games take examples of JRPG, they really know what doing, in fact fools journey with a magical companion(paimon or abby) inspire from them. One of the best example is Granblue Fantasy, The Character really have a good archetype like a really funny ones, and really edgy ones the react nicely. The character centrics story with extension of dialogue that also inside event and side stories.

    Jokes aside - completely agree. You hit the spot with the "struggle and overcoming obstacles" part. If Kuro would have took this in consideration, the story already would have been much better. And, of course, Rover being The John Wuthering Waves part, that is just straight up tasteless. Unfortunately, they already did the story the way it is, and it's kinda hard to take a few steps back and rewrite. Though i'm up to see Rover loses their powers or his allies turning back on them, or any hostile environmen really.

    Most of the issues with character interactions can always be remedied by events outside the main story. Asta and Arlan got the same problem at the beginning of HSR (and Arlan still has this problem) till we get events that brings us back to the space station alongside newer characters tho that took way too long because they just stayed at the Luofu for like 5 months. We just got out of the point where they rewritten the story from scratch so improvements from 1.0 can be underway now that they're starting to get their bearings on the direction they want.

    I'm a person who also like the "flat character arc"... the character that doesn't change, and instead, changes others as they interact with them... changing the world for the better by acting as a beacon of hope or an example to follow, or embodiment of some good quality.

    Honestly, this may get dislikes, but I really dislike how they made some characters a bit "flirty" with Rover. With the arrival of Camellya, it feels like they’re going the same route again. The characters don’t seem to have connections with each other beyond their link to Rover. As far as I know, only a few, like Jinshi and Changli-and possibly Encore and Alto-have connections outside of Rover.

    The characters feel incredibly flat aside from a good handful. I really dislike how rover centric the characters are (most of them seem like they’re overly infatuated with Rover) I understand it’s a gacha game and a lot of these characters are made to appeal to lonely young men and waifu collectors which is fine. But at the very least make the characters revolve around something that isn’t just the rover. I really enjoyed Jinshi’s storyline because not only didn’t it involve her lore, but also the lore of the universe. I hope the characters interact with each other more in the future; they’d feel more authentic honestly. At the end of the day, I love wuwa and I want to see it and it’s characters thrive in the future

    Not trying to shill, but I geniunely enjoy the story. It's not the "best" story, but it's way better than its competition at least. It's way more mature, which I honestly am glad, because I should be the main focus (an adult that can pour money into the game) for this gamba game, not kids. I played 5.0 Natlan and it's very obvious that it's catered towards a more younger audience. It definitely was before, but now, its going way much towards that direction, which I definitely do not enjoy.
    I know people do not like to compare, but I have to say, aside from gameplay problems, it's been 4 years in GI. We are still getting drip-fed about Traveler's origins. Literally Fontaine's story is just Fontaine problems. I do not want that. I control Traveler and it's Traveler's story. Not countries'. At the end of this whole saga we get like 2 sentences about traveler and it's vague as hell. And people are okay with that game's story. How is it that this game's story is getting this much criticism when the other game doesn't? It's way worse than 1.1 and 1.3 story.
    I believe that this game's story doesnt have problems you are saying. Your video is not criticism, its an opinion. You are simply sharing your views, which is vastly different than mine. So, I think that we just want different types of storytelling. I'm very happy with the direction WW is going towards. It has problems, like pacing, but overall, I'm fine with us being jesus and people trying to help us as much as we can while we go around doing stuff.
