count your days aleph_1

I agree with you brother... Once we find that motherfucking son of a bitch, he's going to get his fade runned down by all the WuWa communities: English Community, Japanese Community, Korean Community, Chinese Community, Spanish Community, French Community, German Community and Thai Community.

I know that I don't participate in the community, but what did aleph_1 do to collectively incite the entire national community?

To put it shortly: the main antagonist killed the player character's adoptive daughter.

To explain it a bit: Aleph-1 is the major antagonist for the current story arc of Wuthering Waves. Aemeath, a character who was positioned as a daughter figure to the player character, sacrificed herself to seal Aleph-1 behind a cosmic "gate" that would prevent it from causing worldwide destruction. As of the current patch of the game, the real Aemeath is still considered dead, and what's left behind is a puppeted body in effectively a vegetative state.

It marks a bit of a deviation from how gacha characters are handled in modern day, that being waifu/husbando bait with zero chance of facing any real consequences or stakes in the main story. Aemeath is instead written with a heavy focus on a parent-daughter family angle, being proud of raising a strong kid that ends up taking after you too much, and the grief of losing them (the events leading up to her exit from the story continue to affect the player character's thoughts and actions in new story).

......... oh shit, really? I'll definitely have to catch up on it then. I thought Aleph-1 was a leaker who ruined the game by leaking all of the current and later content.

Haha, I guess it would look that way with a comment like what Erik sent.

I've been enjoying the recent story. A few places where it can drag but a step up from Jinzhou and Rinascita for sure. Lahai Roi has reignited a bit of the old flame of urban sci-fi/dark fantasy in a post-apocalyptic modern world for me, the kind of vibes I was expecting from the game back when it launched. Sci-fi is where their writing team feels more at home.

Kuro Games likes to explore experimental themes every now and again, even in their previous game Punishing: Gray Raven: having many playable characters and important NPCs die and showing the progress to humanity's downfall in order to pave way for a story reboot was considerably metal of them. It gave me hope for more games to explore significantly lasting stakes.

I just got to it, and now I'm crying 😢
I can't believe that they would off her like that.
Sure, she's alive, but not in a traditional sense, and it sucks.

That's not the artist.

That's just a reposter.
