THEY COOKED! - 1.1 Wuthering Waves - Update Story Review - FINALLY Explain Overlocking & More! 

The best part about this story is that it’s Jinhsi’s story and Rover, while an important person to the world, is respectfully standing aside to let Jinhsi and Jue do their thing. It adds to Jinhsi’s growth as a person and shows us that stories don’t always have to end with the MC (us) saving the day which was refreshing. The pacing and length of the quest was great even if short. Dialogue bloat was kept to a minimum and we got straight to the point instead of doing fetch quests designed to waste our time. My only gripe is the that they could go a bit easier on the technobabble since it makes it harder to follow.

I actually like how at the beginning of the story they explain that Abby was most likely a part of us. Abby also mentions "us" when Rover sees their past upon first seeing Jue's statue, meaning it has been with Rover from the beginning. It's possible that Abby was something given by the Goddess. Abby is not something that Rover somehow fished out of the water. This is as good as knowing that Rover is an important part of Solaris 3.

the dialogues in the first part of 1.1 still kept me interested cuz at least camera angles and character movement/expressions were used unlike a certain game

Abby is a nice addition especially when the rover is alone we have someone to talk to

What I really appreciate about Wuwa's recent quests is that they are quality over quantity. They are not very long, but they get to the point and rarely waste your time talking to random NPCs or making you do side-quests. For example I like that they didn't have a quest where we go to baizhi to examine Abby, instead this was quickly told through screenshots. They could have easily made this into a painful 30+ minute pointless segment, but they didn't and I'm so happy for that.

Did anyone catch the part about Rinas or something? Country with "next level echoes". That got me curious what kind of place that is.

Being able to play as both Changli and Jinshi was such a good idea, originally I was gonna skip Jinshi for Changli and Camellya, but the story and presentation made me think otherwise

I suspect that one of the reasons why everyone wants Rover is because Rover is the leader or founder of every faction. They are the master of every sentinel, the founder of Black Shores and the founder of Fractsidus 😂

The music is a banger in act 7

Imo 1.0 wasn't that bad for me since it builds not only the world but also for the character and with those information we got from the starting chapter our knowledge of the story keeps growing

The update 1.0 is more on an introduction for Resonators, Lament, Tacet Discord, Retroact Rain, Etheric Sea, Phantoms, Threnodian and so on, yes the dreamless fight is insane but they didn’t go deeper into lore yet, it’s just an introduction for storyline so we can get a little bit knowledge just incase the lore become complicated and update 1.1 is the starting point of the lore, they give us a lot of new information such as Jue is the student of Rover (that is insane, lord arbiter? Damn bro is progenitor) and also Rover is the founder of Jinzhou! (They should worship Rover as a God lol) and lastly Rover story started in Blackshore which is why update 1.2 is a focal point for him to remember everything, we might get a lot of information there, im also curious the hint that Scar gave to us when we meet him when he say “Once you remember who you are, you will know that you’re one of us) is Rover a Fractsidus!? Damn the story is getting a bit complicated and deeper as we proceed to the game.

Waiting for the " uhhm if you think this Act is great, then you have low standards and haven't played other gacha games.." comments. Kidding aside. This Act is a treat for lore buffs. I love how they pace the writing in a macro-sense. The revelations actually are intriguing. Love the fact that it doesn't detract from the main plot of the rover trying to regain memories. I'm also glad Abraxas is not a yapping companion.

Abraxis is for sure gonna be it's original name when they both remember the origins. Other than that, it's a good story the stakes were high and for once we actually get some real info about who we are or our main quest main problem unlike some other gatcha

this story was so good im sad that i wont be seing something like this again for a couple months 😢, back to picking mint

I love the passion you used to create your video content. I hope to reach your level one day 😁

i cannot wait when people know that jue is a servent of rover bro rover is jues arbiter means he is the master of jue you will know it when your finally done using jinshi to beat jue and after that jue will give you options to ask who you actually rover is

I love how the story was focused on jinshi and there is time for rover story and for the characters in the game.

most of us should know why early story suck since rush job to fix since cbt 1 was hated chapter 5 and 6 was probably writen after this and or was written before so had more time

im totally fine with Abby, i found him cute and he has a personality, and he will be relevant in story, and i liked that we learned about him bit more. im only play on japanese so that ENG VO problems i didnt see. i think so much people was traumatized by Paimon, that most of them dont appretiated Abby, when he no near to paimons annoyance. But yeah 1.1 was great, they really did good work. Exited what Kuro cooks on 1.2 and beyond

6:12 As from what I understand I'm pretty sure it's not just a "test of confidence", it's so much more than that. Jue is injured, Jue is never fine. The only thing Jue can do is freeze time to stop the time dilation thing from spreading. Jinhsi has to fight Jue and trigger a resonance awakening in order to stop the time dilation thing that's going on in Mt. Firmament, but this is a risky option that Jue never even considered because there's a high chance of Jinhsi losing and suffering a terrible fate. This is why Jue got aggressive when jinhsi keeps insisting because jue cares about her well-being and doesn't see that battle as a feasible option. None of these are planned by Jue, they defied fate

Man, her smile in the cutscene is the cue to pull her. Just amazingly made character.

Mark my words you’ll get 10K or way more in 3 months you’re way too good at it for only 500 subs

great vid m8

Rising Story RU-vidr incoming. Subbed

Ending did feel a bit off wish rover had a bit more involvement but over all it was infact well done

I personally liked the first 30 minutes. They are establishing the creature and they aren’t recapping just they’re giving context. I love Abby a lot more than Paimon. It isn’t rude, Rover is the one explaining the situation and it pushes us to the mountain. Its abilities are very good. It can sense different types of power, it can absorb extreme power, it lets us in on the rover’s thoughts and it made it easier to swallow the idea Jue used to belong to Rover. I didn’t even entertain the idea before, but the creature makes it seem less surprising

I don't understand what's your problem with Abby- which is loooovely!! Very nice characterization and voice over. Plus we get to know is is a very special echo, one that exists in other regions as well..(?). An the end I would like to point out that every movie has to get you to the story for the good moments and the thrill to come. Stop complaining for every little bit of fun dialogue we get. At least the story was perfect..the conematic, the cutscenes the anges...pro work!! Keep it up Kuro !!😍

was looking for a story wuwa channel lesgoo

I think abby is just fine. I agree with you though abraxus would've been a better name. atleast it isnt useless and doesnt yap almost replacing the protagonist like the other chibi. and it is a badass and at sentinel level like jue.

EN VA become good in this ver

The Mt. Firmament storyline was absolute FIRE. If 1.1 is any indication of Kuro's true potential as a LEGIT studio and fierce competitor to Hoyo, the future looks incredibly bright for story-driven anime gachas. Ngl tho, "Abby"? And yet the voice actor sounds like a 12yo boy? Abby ... really? I understand it's short for "Abraxas", but c'mon, Kuro! The overall writing is one area where there's still a lot of room for improvement.

For me, I think the part where Abby mentions "Abraxas" is a way to show us that Abby is just a shortened form of it. Abraxas is an actual term that is important in mysticism and Gnosticism. It is akin to Genshin impact's Archons and their equivalent demonic names (Venti is Barbatos, Zhongli is Morax etc.,) which tells us that there is something more that is hidden beneath Abby's cute exterior (this is already done with Paimon, although her naming is more direct). What adds to this is that Abby tells us that she somehow feels like this is how she should be named.

8:00 don't quote me on this one, but I read somewhere the VA improvement will be after 1.2 I believe? I remember being mentioned somewhere but I'm just not sure if the information was reliable or not

I realized something. Kuro writers have a hard time writing an intro and style in trying not to redundancy.

The story was amazing

Jinshi is my wife, Changli is my mommy, Yinlin is my onee-san I am on my knees in a walmart

Honestly, Abby gives Pack feels from re:zero.

Seeing how the story goes with less player communication, maybe it's better if the players let kuro actually write the story instead of having to rewrite and rush out out a story just to please the players.

I like Abby. It's cute and I enjoyed the voice acting.

I like Abby, I always like mascot that act as gag character. Not exposition tool disguised as a mascot.

The only problem I have with the story so far is that I still don’t care about the world. I care about the characters.. sure, but I don’t know why the rover is fighting or anyone else is.. apart from, Tacet Discords and Fragsedus bad.

Yes, it was massive upgrade from 1.0, which had its moments, but suffered greatly from lengthy exposition dumps and overall clunkiness. I know EN voiceover had and still has issues, but I play with JP dub anyway so it doesn't bother me personally. I also could go and nitpick some criticism about direction and pacing some early scenes, but if you have to nitpick then you know it's in a good place. On the point of Abby, I got an impression that it is an anti-Paimon and it's absolutely on purpose. Like, Abby's lines about "respecting Rover's privacy" and such aren't subtle. After almost 4 years of suffering in Genshin with Paimon, I'm perfectly fine with that. And as far as the name goes, I'm pretty sure there's much more to it and hopefuly we won't to have wait years for any update like "some other games". Also, come on, look at that face, it's literally Alpha Crimson Weave from PGR in pet form.

yeah Abraxos sounds better but oh well, at least it doesn't speak for us but speaks to us, it mainly sleeps and it will throw hands with a dragon and try to protect us, ok in my book, the story did cook

If she over clocked it would had been crazy tbh yang yang va needs to stop with the Valium

anyone comparing these graphics to genshin must be blind .

Bruh, peace days recap or beginning episode is normal and totally fine. Its just you that got impatient and want to jump right into the action/climax. I myself found its interesting to know more about Abby since its his introduction

Isnt it because it means joy? It was also revealing how rover felt about her new companion

Seriosly, just play with JP voices as its superior lol. Also one of npcs later in game mentiones that planet has engines of some sorf. Maybe they are taking a bit of story of a shadow riders: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Raiders

Well first half was funny though i liked it❤❤

My only issue would be with the english dub it was great but there were cases were like audio would kinda get lower and then back to normal all of the sudden

I had you till 07:11, but then completely lost you. I don't see the harm is a small recap of things, to put people back on pace and connect them to the present events, as it helps form a continuity. They also don't really "recap" but give the major events in 1.0, as to keep continuity with 1.1, which is very appreciated. Also, why do you dislike the 3 of them, along with Abby, the fourth, having a good time and having a bonding moment? Why do you think that was the worst part? Should all stories be all sad and gloomy, and filled with serious plot points? I think 1.1 story was perfect. You have a nice bonding moment with your companions, and then you guys also have a bonding moment with Abby, which is 1000% necessary, and something that a certain other game lacks. And then once that is done and you come accross the serious topic, the story takes a route towards being serious but also sad. This pacing is really good, and how interpersonal communications IRL work too. The intro wasn't even overdone, it's just 3 friends having some fun, while catching up with past stuff, and then bonding with your very own companion, that you never knew was with you all this time. TL;DR: I think the story was perfect, and while I agreed with you till 07:11, I immediately disgareed with everything thereafter, since the "worst" part of story according to you, is important group bonding moment. This is very reminiscent of IRL friendships, and bonding, and only people who don't have IRL bonding experiences, or the "introverts" would hate smth like that ig.

Yea I also thought Abraxas would have been a good name.

The Western gaming industry is cooked when the East can cook cinematic stories like this….

I used the skip story button when it was available. No regrets

Tbh, the kinda HAD to cook this hard after 1.0 mid storytelling.

Yes now the story was a bit better. They tryed to fix the confusion with the "Rovers name thing" but that's the problem with a bad written thing in the story. You need to fix things kinda "randomly" like he/she made up that name we give to the Rover and that's why we can see both names in the quests. Well... atleast they trying. 😅 Everything else is kinda fine in the story now. But I think they are yaping a bit too much before Jinshis fight... it was way too much script for that battle. As they say sometimes less is more. But in the end we know something important about the Rover, that's a good point.👍

Subs

Yang Yang needs to stop talking in American accent. Actually, she sounds good in British when I see her actress on IMDB sample. If others are allowed to talk in British, I think Yang Yang VA should be too.

I can't take you seriously. You know nothing about kuro games. PGR story alone should've convinced you that they're masters at storytelling

Stop making excuse for yang yang.. poor direction crap. She just don't have the talent for VA. Simple as that.

in short: Anti-climactic. No consequences in the end so what was the point of this chapter if JUE was gonna help the brat and JUE announced that she was a part of MC's harem. Lame as usual. I can give them credit for good cinematography and cutscenes but that's about it. Jinshi should have been saved for hefty price either Jue disappearing/dying or MC makin a sort of contract to do something in return for him to help save jinshi. Even PGR's commandant's choices had consequences e.g. when he choose to connect with luna the ascendant and oh boy did he suffer alot. This chapter of Wuwa in a nut shell, "Fight the magic dragon for no reason and go the next place. That's literally it." People saw good cutscenes 10/10 lmao wtf just dig a little deeper u can see for ur self how non-sensical this story is. I am going to be critical because there is no ounce of care put into it. Its only genshin with pretty graphics only. If every thing has been copied why not the story ohh wait we already have walmart paimon here. GGs guys.
