- SPOILER WARNING! I personally believe that Kuro Games will win awards for the Cinematic shown in the 1.1 Story. Changli and Jinhsi were fantastic!They did an amazing job and brought the story back in line to what people were expecting. They finally explain overclocking and other aspects. They added so much back story and character development that we were asking for in 1.0 and I'm really excited to see the direction Wuthering Waves is headed!
CBT was Better than 1.0, but 1.1 is better than all: • WHAT HAPPENED?! - Wuth...
Prep for Changli and Jinhsi: • CHANGLI & JINHSI Pre F...

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.
Well worded
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.
Well he/she said "hungry" before eating crownless (abby is male or female?)
Im pretty sure that's a voice actress with a sharper tone like Aquafina etc

" It's possible that Abby was something given by the Goddess."
I wonder if it has anything to do with the part in the opening scene where the Goddess put her hand into our Rover's chest (and then moved it down to their hand). That could have been when the Goddess placed Abby within Rover's body.
Did anyone catch the part about Rinas or something? Country with "next level echoes". That got me curious what kind of place that is.
Yeah they teased that and likely the black shores will be likely be in 1.2
Nice catch! I noticed that too, along with the very interesting interaction between Jue and the Rover re: her superior role as an "arbiter" of Sol-3.
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.
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
This exactly
really feels like watching a movie
@@Hasieur ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Exactly! That's the best way they could do it rather than making us stare at static characters.
It reminds me of a video during development where the devs said that they want every scene to look like an anime scene. And they exactly did just that. The static images showing a scene while the dialogue describes it is also engaging.
xd
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
Exactly! Now I'm saving to get Changli hopefully!
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 😂
That's a solid take on things. Wouldn't surprise me if you were correct 😂
yeah. it's mentioned that we witness civilizations. changli kinda has one line on that too. having a phoenix theme and all, it might be possible that changli existed far longer than we imagine. and in every civilization, a trace of rover is left choosing a different side every cycle.
the difference this time i surmise is the goddess. she might be the mysterious visitor talked about in the 1.1 quest
Rover is him
Abby is a nice addition especially when the rover is alone we have someone to talk to
I don't mind Abby, I just don't want another floating creature that voices the Protagonist😅
Facts! I just hope they don't over do it with Abby. Here and there is fine but please don't become like Piamon
@@justnoct MC has actual voice in this game, which is a breath of fresh air. So I don't think it'll be a Paimon 2.0. Morever, Kuro listens to community, so if that ever happens ever so slightly, they'll take the feedback and change things. Benefits of having game devs who actually listen.
@@justnoctat this point it’d be impossible for them to make Abby into a paimon.
Paimon canonical reason for talking/repeating story beats was cuz the traveler literally doesn’t understand what most people were saying so paimon was a translator
Rover knows how to speak the language and has tons of lines so it’d make no sense especially since they make a huge point that Abby has a low battery
@@justnoct why do you think that? abby has its own dialogue and so is rover.
The music is a banger in act 7
The flutes and ambient music were great! Even the fight music!
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
And people keep complaining about having too much stuff explained to them too and for some reason they complain about “being forced” to use the skip button. I guarantee those same people are gonna be wondering what’s happening when we get to the endgame and they’ve skipped through all of the information
Same. The issues I have are minor. The most blatant one is the excessive info dumping on Act I but for a lore buff like me who likes reading in-game literature, I love it. I can understand how it could detract someone with a low attention span though.
It also doesn't help that the writing is slow and meandering. Some people would interpret that as bad when it's a matter of writing technique. Some of my favorite novels have the same slow and meandering techniques.
With that being said, the voice direction and the cutting dialogue is distracting for the 1.0 acts so they should definitely improve on those.
Take a look at my CBT vs 1.0 vid and you'll see why I think 1.0 had way more potential.
1.0 is kinda okay, but not bad. Yinlin story quest tho, feel too rush, like nothing from main story really infused in that story. Lingyang story is better in terms of facial expression, hands movement, and voice acting.
@@echo3568 they've developed tiktok brain
This update floors me too, even as a husbando collector, slice-of-life type of player. I just enjoy new recipes, the sights, the new map, and the story. It's amazing.
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.
To be fair I'd be the one to point out the misgivings. I made a vid showing how CBT was better than 1.0 and I know this act isn't perfect, but it's a huge step up from 1.0 Acts 1-4 etc.
@@justnoct I'm fully aware. I follow your WuWa content. I also prefer the general direction of the CBT. It's just that I saw a lot of comments who rain down on someone's parade when people mention that they enjoyed the new Act.
Even the new act isn't perfect but which story chapter is, especially in an open-world gacha.
@@hijodelsoldeoriente sorry its taking some getting used to seeing someone say they follow my content 😅 thank you! And that's why I made this vid more positive because the progress between 1.0 and 1.1 was huge and that shows me the potential for the rest of the game in the long run!
@@hijodelsoldeorientebruh anyone raining down on praise for this patch story yet wank hsr or genshin story is coping on the highest degree cuz both their most recent stories have ranged from mid to decent. This feels like we took everything that happened from last patch and actually bothered developing the rover and giving them room to grow while developing other characters and the story even tho rover was mostly the passive
@@justnoctI agree! And don't sell yourself too short man. You actually make great content and we're here for it.
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.
this story was so good im sad that i wont be seing something like this again for a couple months 😢, back to picking mint
Yeah its unfortunate, but we are at the launch cycle for the game so its to be expected. I can't wait to see where Wuthering Waves is in a year!
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
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
Yeah but the story in CBT1 was actually pretty good just needed some polish work and remove some of the negative outlook on the MC. This has me pumped to see what else they have in store like the Black Shores in 1.2
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
Ending did feel a bit off wish rover had a bit more involvement but over all it was infact well done
I agree, but compared to 1.0 this is a high step up so I'm sure they'll keep cooking in 1.2 with the black shores which should be all about the MC.
Nah, they're the witness. It doesn't make sense if they interrupt the fight, much more being the actual arbiter of Jue. There isn't an actual bad guy/demon because the final battle was just a test.
@ShanShan-tp6nt I didn't say interrupt the fight just wish rover had more uses this update other than opening sphere and giving the power to jinshi its that or they should've made it more impact full un NY opinion
@@zamatesenpai88151.1 update main char in this story is jinshi
goosebumps everytime. i'm done with main quests but i always get back to videos like this coz it's fun to experience the story again and again
Yeah I think the 1.1 expansion as a whole was the Jinhsi character quest. I'd like to see more about the founding with Jue and such.
EN VA become good in this ver
Yeah we definitely got an upgrade with Changli, Jue, Xinyi and Jinhsi, but Yangyang still sounded off a bit. Hopefully the VAs get more comfortable in their roles.
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.
I'm torn. I don't hate Abby, I think the fact that they spent so much time talking in the first part of the quest made me dismiss the rabbit a bit. But that's a good point technically Abby is our new Guardian and damn strong. If they can find a good balance I'm happy. Like you said she doesn't replace our voice etc.
@@justnoct true, a good balance would be great. best for abby to sleep all the time and just come out if it is urgent. nice vid btw. looking forward for more content from you.
Mark my words you’ll get 10K or way more in 3 months you’re way too good at it for only 500 subs
Fr this is some 10k quality
Truth
Thank you 🙏 gotta keep moving forward and try to deliver 50 and 100k content after!
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 !!😍
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
I have to go off of what they did in 1.0 I can't just rate them on past games. CBT1 had a good story line and potential and Kuro nuked it and gave us the phones in 1.0 story. 1.1 isn't perfect but it's a huge step up from what they fed us in 1.0 and you don't have to like my content, you can go watch Doro and those guys for the ultra positive never critical commentary. I want WuWa to grow mainstream so I have to voice what I believe and see.
Rising Story RUclipsr incoming. Subbed
🙏 thank you
Honestly, Abby gives Pack feels from re:zero.
was looking for a story wuwa channel lesgoo
Hopefully can provide a bit more value outside of story content as well!
@@justnoct you did, I got c4 yuanwu and am using your channel as inspiration to build him
Stop making excuse for yang yang.. poor direction crap. She just don't have the talent for VA. Simple as that.
At this point I can't make anymore. I tried to take the positive outlook and hope it would get better. Her voice is actually pretty solid outside of the game so idk what's going on.
anyone comparing these graphics to genshin must be blind .
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.
Yeah this is my main issue and I've addressed this in my other vids. The original CBT1 story developed the world much better.
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 think that is definitely part of the problem!
Jinshi is my wife, Changli is my mommy, Yinlin is my onee-san
I am on my knees in a walmart
I love the passion you used to create your video content. I hope to reach your level one day 😁
🙏 thank you but trust me you can do much better than me!
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
Bruh, almost every story/lore analysis use EN voice, it can grasp the wider auidience easily. The EN voice has a huge upgrade unless for Yangyang, she should've been fired smh.
Don't get me wrong dude, i also play the game with JP cuz im a weeb. But sometimes you can't just force someone to use JP
Tbh, the kinda HAD to cook this hard after 1.0 mid storytelling.
@@Carnaj90 for sure!
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.
After seeing them scrap the CBT story with talking TD's I hope they are able move past feedback and cook themselves up an awesome story!
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 hope you're right! That would be great to see them revamp and update the old voice lines. 1.2 is in August so we have some waiting to do.
If she over clocked it would had been crazy tbh yang yang va needs to stop with the Valium
Yeah they need to have someone actually overclock. And I'm done making excuses for Yangyang she's gotta step it up.
I used the skip story button when it was available. No regrets
Story isn't for everyone lol
The only downside for me in 1.1 are the cheesy lines which jinshi said tho shows her resolve just looked a bit cheesy to me atleast other than that everything was fireee🔥🔥
Compared to 1.0 I can't complain it was all better 😂 but sure it definitely wasn't as dark and cool as CBT.
@@justnoct yea instead of doing a complete 180 on the story line a little bit of rework would have been better...like you gain the trust after baizhi has completed her tests and jinshi vouches for you that should have been enough but instead we get a isekai harem story in a dark world🫠
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.
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.
I realized something. Kuro writers have a hard time writing an intro and style in trying not to redundancy.
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.
My exact thoughts!
Man, her smile in the cutscene is the cue to pull her. Just amazingly made character.
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.
Since you took the time to type out this comment, I'm going to reply in kind out of respect. The reason I don't like the three of them is because of how they changed the 1.0 story. My CBT vs 1.0 vid goes over the changes that were removed and how I think that was a bad idea. In CBT I loved Yangyang, Chixia, and Baizhi. But in 1.0 they just made them talking figure heads. I dislike the fact that 1.0 had poor writing, rushed voice lines and overall lack of polish. It took 33min from Start to End pressing F at the end of each voiceline to get through the first part of 1.1 and I think that is a bit much. Out of the whole 1.1 story, for me at least, that was the worst part. Now again this is my opinion and we don't have to agree. I just feel like they are pushing the trifecta on us after removing the reason why they were soo important to us in CBT.
I would say please take a few min and watch my other vid comparing CBT and 1.0 and maybe you can see where I am coming from! Anyways thanks for the comment, and I appreciate open discourse!
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
That's a good way to look at it.
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
That's not true. The recap was annoying because the VA for Yangyang and the poor writing. They could have done the recap in a better way. But this all stacks with the failure of the 1.0 story. They removed an amazing story from CBT and gave us a bunch of dialogue. Watch my CBT vs 1.0 vid if you don't believe me.
I can appreciate a recap and character introduction but I can't do more updates with Yangyang doing 30min of voice lines with no emotion or inflection.
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
Yeah as long as it doesn't replace the voice of the MC as the protagonist, I think it should be good
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
Yeah it's definitely not perfect, but it's miles ahead of 1.0
I love how the story was focused on jinshi and there is time for rover story and for the characters in the game.
They did a great job focusing on building the back story and prioritizing on Jinhsi and Jue.
The Western gaming industry is cooked when the East can cook cinematic stories like this….
Stfu we ain't talking about other gaming industries we're talking about WuWa's 1.1 being good
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 like Abby. It's cute and I enjoyed the voice acting.
Voice acting was good, and I'm glad Abby isn't talking for the MC
I like Abby, I always like mascot that act as gag character. Not exposition tool disguised as a mascot.
So far I don't mind Abby, we shall see how the story progresses around the rabbit.
Abby is literally P5 Morgana. They just there
Well first half was funny though i liked it❤❤
It had its moments, but was drawn out a bit too long for me. Glad you enjoyed it tho!
Isnt it because it means joy? It was also revealing how rover felt about her new companion
I have a feeling Abraxis is the actual name similar to a Great Archon, but we shall see how it develops.
@@justnoct what's that opinion based on? I'm just saying that in game it was explained why Abby was chosen.
Yea I also thought Abraxas would have been a good name.
Hopefully it develops in the future.
I was hoping we could rename Abby... Sadge
The story was amazing
Not perfect, but definitely amazing!
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
Pretty sure it was a test as Jue could have passed on his powers whenever after we the arbiter allowed. Apparently the previous time we did not allow Jue to pass on his powers. The awakening was to allow Jinhsi to step up and replace Jue as the protector. Jue survives when in the build up said it would take everything. Jue isn't even allowed to die without us saying so. Also Jue still hasc many more powers outside of time control. Jue even heals Jinhsi at the end.
@@justnoct mhm that makes sense, though I'm confused bc Jue mentioned that this is not the right time for them to battle and it's something that he didn't predicted. Throughout the initial interaction with Jue he keeps insisting to freeze jinzhou too, idk if he'll go through that lengths just to test jinhsi
@@skealla5372
He did to test her, after all he can see the future and he saw that she will succeed
@@PY3100 ok so I did rewatch everything and no, it's not just a "test." It is supposed to be a test, that's why Jue's got a prophecy about them fighting. BUT, what happened in 1.1 is all improvised, Jue never predicted it because the fractsidus messed things up. It never crossed Jue's mind that the current Jinhsi can awaken a second awakening during their battle, it all happened so earlier than expected. That's why Jue kept insisting to freeze jinzhou because it's the "best" option they have.
and also yes, Jue is injured and it's been said multiple times even in Changli's quest, this led to the temporal disruptions on Mt. Firmament. So what happened is: Jinhsi has to trigger a second resonance awakening and have Jue transfer the temporal mandate to her so the temporal disruptions can be fixed. The whole scenario is not made up to test Jinhsi.

great vid m8
🙏 thank you
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.👍
