Ayla might be TOO obsessed with Selena 

personally, i would love to see the Yandere Ayla arc. GIVE IT TO US!!!! also, not me getting jumpscared by my own laugh lmaooo. this video is so fun, even as someone who doesn't play the game!!

Yandere Ayla sounds like a fever dream the Commandant went through during his coma in the Surviving Lucem.

I adore Selena. She’s my favorite character in the game, I’m one of “those” people who was yelling at everyone to vote for her during Eden Festival, she’s what got me stuck onto PGR. Even my non-PGR playing friends know I live laugh love Selena. …That being said, if the RDV event was for literally ANYONE BUT HER I would not have done it, at least not as quickly as I did. I still have parts left to finish, I just grabbed the shards, and I still didn’t get the Ayla skin which is SUPER ironic considering the topic of the video 😭 I do have to say, I wish she had more connection to other characters. I get that’s kind of the point of her story where she went through all this because Babylonia abandoned her crew and the only one who truly sought her out during that time was Ayla (SKK was implied to have been too swamped to do much; also let’s face it, no matter who Selena likes more, Ayla had known her for much longer). But she does exist in a bit of a void, and I do hope that as the story continues we get to see her pop up more as she wanders earth and (hopefully) recovers outside of Selena specific events. And yeah, poor Ayla :< I understand any gachas with your typical “waifu bait” will prioritize player-character interactions over character-character but come on, they’ve been friends for YEARS. Even if there is romance involved and Selena just doesn’t reciprocate, let them have their moments! Characters always simping for the mc is probably my least favorite trope in the sort of games, even if it’s how they draw in players…I want to give Selena infinite pats but let her have a life besides just me!! (Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to bolt my windows and tell my family to keep an eye out for any pink haired girls…)

I really wish pgr allows us to play uns and newer characters in recitativo. It’s literally my favorite mode in pgr, and I have a lot of fond memories of it, but I just find no reason to play it cuz the character pool is only up to capriccio.

Echo Aria is still the best patch IMO. The introduction of Selena and her story along with Wanshi being tied of it all is one of PGR's best stories.

To be fair I would also spend my whole life chasing Selena... Like look at her.

Who else hasn't cleared out the RdF shop yet?

Lina: RdF is not real, it cant hurt me The 3 Selena shards left in the RdF shop: LMAOOOO

Imagine if Ayla managed to find all the letters that were shared between Selena and the Commandant at some point...

Oh. People disliked the gameplay of that event? I just did 10 stages daily (or more) for the daily bonus and cleared the shop out before I could even notice. I actually... kind of was hoping for there to still be more rewards so I could warrant playing it more. I only finished maxing out the appearance rate for a single school of combat (lightning). As for story... Those story beats were encountered so infrequently that, with the total lack of other appearances from Selena in other chapters, I'm questioning how canon she is. Honestly, the fact that she feels like a character whose reunion only exists in dreams is both fascinating and hilarious. She is, without a doubt, the most popular "waifu" to the playerbase. The fact that her reunion with the Commandant maybe entirely made up is so audacious I can't help but be impressed. All that said. I'm never going to be able to see Ayla the same way. God dammit... It's like a creepypasta version of a sweet kids cartoon. Why would you do this?? Fun conversation. Thank you for the beautiful editing to accompany this conversation.

I really tried playing in the hardest mode everyday, but I got so lazy and I just remember the grinding because you you, thanks

I wish I could say it's because Selena is super popular with the fans that Kuro barely leaves any indication that she likes Ayla. But she doesn't much acknowledge her from the very beginning of her story. It's not like they knew she's become a fan favorite rivaling Vera from the get-go. I'm sad now. Poor Ayla :(

You just reminded me that Ayla is the only one who isn't automatically in love with Commandant with weird awkward flirts when you interact with her...

Ayla needs some time with Vera.

It's ok Ayla you did your best

I'm proud that I voted all my cheering pts to Ayla and got her nameplate golden. I care, Ayla. I care 🎨

ayla is selena’s #1 fan

I missed this style of your videos. Keep up the good work

NICEEEE another vid! Keep up the good work!! Loving it so much

I'm so happy for another lore discussion video from you guys, I've been hoping to get one all the time. (Especially since youre probably the only people who ever done that for PGR, for some reason) That said, what you said at the very beggining made me really sad, since i was hoping to get either that, or disccusion about Karenina on the moon, or from the most recent - the whole Noah chapter (this one stole my heard recently ngl, even if it was painfully slow at the beginning, it took me weeks of breaks from it before even getting to a second playable stage, with my slow reading tempo) Anyways, looking forward to more videos like this one in the future, you nailed it perfectly, might be because of how much you like Ayla and Selena yourselves 😁

To be fair to Ayla, given how Selena ended up I’d be pretty hell-bent on rescuing her if I were in her shoes. The fault mainly lies with Kuro Games for not adding much in regards to Selena and Ayla’s relationship since they wanted to focus more on Selena and Commandant’s past. Hopefully Ayla’s next frame and story helps rectify that. Personally, I like how Ayla’s affection story is a lot more friendly-oriented with Commandant compared to most others. Not everyone needs to have a romantic moment with them, and Ayla still has some flirty lines but they could be taken as just harmless teasing. And lol I didn’t see the romantic connection between Ayla and Selena until you pointed out just how much she’s obsessed with her. It’s a bit sad that if Ayla did romantically love Selena, it was one-sided, but I can see her being supportive of Selena and Commandant’s relationship regardless. And thank god for no more super grindy events like that again. Still haven’t gotten Capriccio because I hated going through that event

yeah its soooo painful! to play the event loop 😅

Selena talks a lot of Ayla in the story and Ayla has feelings for Commadant.

I know that the focus is Ayla's obsession but 3:56 stole the spotlight for me

I always enjoys listening to them talking about PGR :D

We're honestly gonna get yandere ayla first before a new lucia frame

I like these kind videos about PGR story/narrative, because I feel like PGR story and writing really underappriciated I am hoping video about Bianca from you guys

*Selena:* "Ayla? Who's that? "

Well,the S rank Ayla dose look like she is fall in love to Commandant too,So,happy ending,maybe?Both of them will just marry to Commandant.

Imagine veing haunted by big bobbas yandere robot WOULD

Good video, I like this podcasts type of videos

AW SHIT, I started this video and then realized I haven't done my daily 10 Recitativo di Fantasia runs.

I mean the fact that selena never mentions ayla is weird, but kuro writing ayla mentioning selena`s name frequently makes sense, since as the player the only part of ayla that we care about is selena, just like how chrome always talks about his teammates and not other groups, it doesn`t mean she is in love with her, but rather it shows how she is not important to the main story.

Im a new(2-3months) player which i dont have much cons, I only have 2team, dark and ice And 1 team with Alya brilliance as my main dps with luminance and lotus(i gave lotus shredder memo) And i enjoy playing ayla so much And so happy you guys often made a video about her ❤❤

The more I play Pgr the more I really grow distant from how Selena has been written. And the character that suffer the most of it is none other than Ayla. She suffers because she's only treated as Selena's satellite character, and all that she does barely revolves around herself. And yet Selena has never actually aknowledged her, even before she lost her memories. I wish Selena was written as less focused on Skk, because she had people before getting abandoned in the Space Station and eventually thrown in the Red Ride. And I wish to see more of Ayla as a stand alone character, especially after reading the RdF (Reinaissance du Fantastique) chapter summary. Also very much agree on Recitativo, I finished all of it but it was HELL.

I will keep this video stored for after I finish ch15 and get my Selena to do her interlude (I am not that far, I am just doing ch13 for the second time because I learned that there are extra stuff in the exploration mode)

PGR at least have some replayable rogue-like content. Some games don't, so there is just nothing to do when you have no stamina left.

What happens when an Unstoppable Yandere Ayla collides with an Immovable Lucia? Actually I guess that's just the CN Ice Team lol. Grinding RdF was definitely... a lot. One thing I will say I appreciate about the game mode is that because it is a roguelike, it gives you the opportunity to try out frames and even whole team comps if you're willing to reroll enough. Which for a relatively new player (~8 months now) let me actually experience what the full comp for each element played like in several different kinds of fights.

Is Ayla x Selena a thing? Didn't know. Though I do like SKK interaction with Selena via the gift section, and I do like Ayla considers Selena as one of her treasured companions (be it platonic, spiritual or romantic, whatever it is). It's tough to know who to trust in the world of PGR. Though I do see them as great confidants in my perspective.

What have you done!? Yandere Ayla is someting I had never thought about even though I did go through all the Selena and Ayla's story bits, including Recitativo which, despite the indeed super boring story, has a very fun combat imo. Very fast paced, especially with the different buffs you can get, but I also felt each playthrough was unnessesarily long. Back to the Ayla thing, I can't unsee the Yandere in her now. Thanks.

I mean... Ayla isn't the only one tbh. I have Selena as my wallpaper.

Awesome Video! Are you guys gonna cover Aether Gazer too?😊

I only needed the R&D tickets and other Rewards. I randomly unlocked Selena while I was playing the story mode and payed a visit to the research shop. I still grinder for Selena’s shards much later to get to SS on Selena.

Me who used all my votes on Selena: *chuckles* Im in danger!

Yandere Ayla is the next narrative arc for Ayla confirmed. You thought it was balter? It was actually ME, AYLA

After I got Ayla's costume from the shop I pretty much treated RDF as if it didn't exist in the game. That's why I have every character so far but Selena Capriccio 😅

I didn't realized that, until you talked XD

Never seen a fictional story within a fictional story being actually interesting. That Selena was told her story was boring in those memories of hers we went through is actually funny in hindsight I do enjoy the mode and kinda even the story though as a new player, just not reading too deep into it, skimming through the text instead of paying attention to detail

I started with "Recitative the Fantasy". I liked it at the time.

I’m slogging through this game mode and I just feel like I’m killing myself slowly

I actually cleared the game mode. Like literally the whole Recitativo di Fantasia. I have all the endings, all the achievements, claimed all the rewards, and all the possible skills ( I forgot what they're called, but they're like the nodes where you choose something like a buff). I cleared them all. And I actually wish that Kuro would do something with the game mode.

omg your the best😂

Actually. I grinded out everything before the first week was out so...yeaaaaaaa

Recitativo Di Fantasia is actually my favorite game mode. However, once the reward are exhausted, there's no point in playing again.

this is how ayla will become a villain in the future yes

As a new player who started a few weeks ago, I gotta admit, the sheer number of different things available is dizzying Warzone, Pain Cage, Fantasia, Inner World, Co-op, Golden Vortex, Operation Omn, Cinder Burns, Norman Revival, etc etc 😵‍💫😵😵‍💫😵😵‍💫😵😵‍💫

You know what- thats a good ass point! Ayla girl, calm down, we get it: youre the biggest Selena fan in the fandom. You have nothing else to prove.

Personally loved the story, finished it pretty fast too, and Ayla S is pretty much in love with skk too, her chapter isn’t about selena too i think, selena just happens to appear on it Never seen them that way tho, i just don’t see it, selena is her rival sad best friend, nothing romantic imo, besides selena loves the mc Also, selena hugs the skk quite a few times, even on this event after the end she jumps him into a hug

It’s fun the first time the 20th time nuh-uh.

Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the yandere Ayla fanfiction

Hay Arnold! Reference? I applaud you two. Also We are showing our age

Fight me Ayla, Selena's mine. XD

Once you get the achievement for beating it at the hardest difficulty, you can beat the 10 stages requirement at the easiest setting to breeze through the stages.The RdF remindes me of Elysian Realm from Honkai Impact 3rd so I was already used to the grind. I do agree that it gets boring after getting the ending, wish there was a special event after clearing up the shop.

2:30 Was this recorded before they announced the new Recidivo gamemode in CN?!

RdF was kinda boring but I did have some fun the first time playing through each endings. Daily missions give like 1 shard everyday and took like 5 mins to clear on the easiest difficulty so I didn't have to grind much, just took some waiting lol.

Ayla 💓

Maybe they should've given Ayla more thought to her character. I want to like Ayla but there's not much to her .__. Maybe in the future she'll have development?

Recitativo in stage 3 and above is for masochist 💀 And I'm done every mission available including reach all ending (only 2 mission about upgrading the class and that one takes too long) so i guess I'm masochist myself.... And that's scare me And plus, i heard bianca patch would add one more challenge similar like recitativo, so yeah... We're damned 💀

RdF deals EMOTIONAL DAMAGE to my sanity

The text is translated by Google： Kuro writers are more focused on describing the masterlove of characters, and there may not be as much writing space to describe Selena and Eyla now. Kuro has always been collecting players' opinions on which characters they hope for in the future plot in the CN version of the survey questionnaire. However, within the CN player community, there is a considerable proportion of players who are afraid of developing a romantic relationship between characters, rather than love towards the player (means "NTR"). So this may also lead to Kuro being afraid to describe such plots and only trying to please players as much as possible. For example, there are two factions of players who love Vera. One faction only hopes that Vera love commander, and the other faction hopes to see Vera and Lee become CP. So that's it, it will cause various heated discussions, and it has to be said that this is the anxiety of modern people about love, hoping to obtain love that is difficult to obtain in reality in the virtual world.There are a few thoughts and Hamlets in a thought and people's eyes. But for me, all characters are the wings of commander.

I can understand why everyone would be okay for the Yandere Ayla!! lol RdF Event was disappointing because it does take a lot of your time for the shards and it was a pain to go through all the story again and again, I love Selena, but yeah I might buy the shards soon than grind for it .

The simple reason is that in a lot of CN based games is that the fans have an insistence on the player character being the only romantic interaction the characters have. Especially with female characters. Any female character having some semblance of a relationship with another character (especially another man) is cause for the CN fanbase to cry out "NTR" and talk about how they've apparently been cheated on. There was actually drama with this on a game called Girl's Frontline 2, where a popular waifu character interacted with a male character, CN players were pissed about it and review bombed the game. Now I don't want to dog on CN fans, it's just that they're typically the majority in being super protective over characters, it's not every CN fan of course.

If it's pink you already know what it is

Me coping with 3S Selena no Sig belike

This video kinda went over some peoples head.

Honestly I thought I was the only one who noticed the thing with Ayla. As among one of the few resident lesbians playing the game I picked up on the subtext. I propose a solution, how bout just a poly with FemCommandant x Selena X Ayla.🤭 JK JK Of course my (ButchAss)FemCommandant is already busy with my Vera and Alpha poly 😂(and trying not to get murdered) Also Kuro please customizable shikikan/MC like in Path to Nowhere...

Tldr: Selena has no romantic feelings to ayla and vice-versa. Ayla is obssessed on saving selena because she knows it wasnt right for fate to choose this option for selena. Think of ayla being itadori from JJK in terms of morality and sense of justice Plus if we based it from original CN translation, selena sees ayla as her dearest friend even the EN localization team poinnted out that the term *mi amor* to selena and ayla is dear friend. I think it was in selena's interlude. Kuro doesnt really focus on construct shipping. All they care is how are they gonna screw and mess with the commandant. literally commandant is an accident prawn always getting kidnapped, tortured, left a donut hole in his/her chest, overworked, being a livestock experiment for kurono etc. If you think ayla likes to flirt and tease commandant, boi wait till you reach S rank ayla story patch and memory fragment

Actually RDF was the best because you can get Selena for free and you can SS her in PPC. Plus you can get coating and other extra things in RDF's shop. I got her and her 6* weapon since release and I'm F2P. Alot of players begged Kuro to keep RDF's event so that they can get her and the other extra things on RDF's shop. You said it's boring because you didn't read the whole story and you kept skipping them in both Selena Tempest and Selena Capriccio. I can tell you that because you can't even answer me who sent Riot to Selena to stop and kill her? Who was that heartless one that ordered to do that to her? Also, who was prisoning Selena Capriccio in RDF? Was all those multiple Selena Capriccio that Commandant saw real? if so, then which one was the real Selena? And was Selena's Capriccio story real or Illusion? Also, Ayla is not obsessed with Selena because they're bestfriends and she was fighting all she got because she was angry on Ascendant over all those years and she was hoping that Selena was still alive, Ayla said "what she feels" towards Selena because she was her bestfriend and valuing her, Kuro said that Selena and Ayla are bestfriends and not lovers. And she actually hugs everyone and not only females because she hugged Commandant too in RDF.

I only got the skin and the fragments... after that I just forgot that the mode exists •-•)b Kuro please I just want an auto clear and an option to disable the story for this game mode

Ayla is just good friends with Selrna. Their roomates after all

As a player who played the first 2 patches of global, then quit till around when starfarer came out, RdF was really nice to aquaint me with playing the dark, ice, and lightning meta teams. It was kinda boring though.

I want to see Yandere Ayla fight Wanshi cause he killed the Siren/Corrupted Selena.

one of the many cons of gacha stories is the needless characters attracted to the main character (in this case, the commandant). i get that it’s to sell the character as waifus and such but honestly i like interactions between characters more. since the player is supposed to be the commandant, it just feels… distant? anyway selena x ayla ftw

6:35 - 6:40 from which visual novel are this edited shots taken? Those with blood-stained baseball bat

As someone currently going through Recitativo di Fantasia in order to get Capriccio it's validating to hear that other people think similar to me.

As someone that is still trying to get Selena, I feel this immensely and might just get my last 10 shards via trade vouchers cause god is Rectivatio so fucking boring and long 💀💀💀 Glad that Kuro got the rougelite formula done MUCH better with Cursed Waves at least, cause that shit is so fun and DOESN'T TAKE 9 MILLION YEARS

I may hav missed some lore but I always ended up thinking that either Ayla was posing as her pen pal without her knowing it was her or sometimes I go to the extreme of thinking that to Selena Ayla was a gal she just talked to and was Ayla the only one one sidedly obsessed with Selene without her knowing at all. I'm pretty sure Ayla would just say yes if she could have Selena for lunch or just a food shaped out of her image. At first I thought it was just a really good "friendship" but as Ayla goes on it shows she is above just being down for her to the point I am scared to imagine what would you find in her room if you were to visit it someday

PSA: Kuro finally put a skip button on the cinematic for RDF

AYLA DESERVES ALL THE LOVE

Starting at 7:16 Is the moment I knew you two didn't read the story correctly. She did hug Commandant a few times and her affection story in her Amplifier has Ayla being closer to Commandant + her story event. Im pretty sure other comments before me have pointed this out but i know you'll keep ignoring it. I know you're global-only players, but please catch up to the CN content next time and stop making misunderstandings on both Selena and Alya...

Those negative comments about Selena Tempest and Selena Capriccio should read her stories without skipping it. Then you all will realize how much you all misunderstood her stories.

Selena doesn't really know about Ayla because she has Stockhome Syndrome of Gabriel form when he Cooked her into a fine Stew

I dred that Game mode so damn much... Made me hate the game almost ...

classic yaya

Given the fact that Ayla only hugs female constructs, but does not show the same level of affection or skinship with the commandant. Can we infer that Kuro views or at least write Commandant as a male? I've seen the Commandant's portrait; he/she looks masculine enough, stance and all, but that info supports the idea of their canon gender.

Ayla hugs only female constructs ? We know why 😏

Selena really was a terrible game dev

I love Selena but I hate her patches.

I love Selena, but I'll never forget it... Ayla: Lets Go back to home Selena? Selena: Nop... I'm going to walk this earth for some reason that no one knows, and neither does anyone who plays this game LMAOO Ayla: ok...

I don't understand how RdF can be so fun and so shit at the same time. I like the rogue-like aspect and leveling up the characters in the middle of a run, but it takes a million fucking years to reach the end and especially to gather all the currency for the shop. I stopped doing it during the patch it came out and I haven't looked back ever since. Edit: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE STORY IS ABOUT AND YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T FUCKING CARE THE GAME MODE IS THAT DISGUSTINGLY BAD Edit 2: You know, Kuro may be against Selena x Ayla, but that's why fanfiction exists. In fact, I myself wrote one about the two in a crossover with Wuthering Waves.
