6 MASSIVE Redesigns in Wuthering Waves

[@RateUpRadio]

Do you think every redesign was an upgrade - or are there some you wish we could get back?

[@boboverlord1]

Verina can get some of her purple flowers back but otherwise she is great.

[@thefifthelement_x]

I really wish they stuck with Verina's CBT-1 design. It gave her a sense of maturity and the scientist goggles and little splash of purple and turquoise looked amazing.

[@userunrelated_n4u]

i'm not a furry but i wish awuu furryness is present in Lingyan, too many people compared him to Ga Ming from genshin now that he's kemomimi shota

[@dragan3526]

Verina could have been redesigned to look more like her first iteration but the new shorts are nice. Ling yang still doesn't look good, would have been better by being closer to Mountain of Ak

[@RamrodDJ4]

Aside from Awu design I wish could've been used I also would like to have Mortefi's tail back because I would love the difference in extreme mutations between characters. Hopefully they implement them for future characters. And speaking of designs any chances on make different OC/Avatars for this channel or just sticking to the ones with PGR channel? Just out of curiosity

[@wolfstormwizard424]

The fact that Wuthering waves design actually has functionality to their use. Yinlin electric wires is use to control her puppet and can discharge electric voltage. Verina who has plants in her hoody and wrap around her so that she can use them for combat and even store new plants that she discovers. Aalto who has smoke manipulation that allows him to control it by having them sucked in a kind of like vent but with holes which he can release to stay hidden in the mist from his enemies like he did in his pv demo. I hope they continue improving or redesigning characters with functionality in their design but still make them cute or hot for everyone to enjoy.

[@altogrey9712]

As someone who tried to steer clear of any news of the game before its release. It makes me so sad that that part of the story was removed. I personally didn't like Chixia currently, and would greatly prefer that Chixia in the beta. Idky people hate on her for, idk? Being wary of a someone who not only took on and beat an apparently strong creature that could've done so much dmg to everything almost like child's play, but also "eats" it, and then Chixia just acting like Rover isn't scarier and is way too chill with them. Gurl has no self preservation instincts at that point, and it just feels forced. Everyone really just readily accepted the abnormality that is the Rover without a 2nd thought, though it makes sense for some other people though. But yeh

[@Deathy75]

[@kazuu_44]

FOR REAL. every story has all the characters warm up to the mc WAY too soon. the only ones that don’t warm up to them either at all or take time, are villains. it’s kinda boring.. I would’ve liked to see a character that’s on our side, is a good guy, apart of our main group at the start, take some time to warm up to us! having yangyang become fond of us early on, contrasting with chixia being wary of us would have been so cool. it would also kinda reflect their blue-red contrasting too :( honestly it’s sad how many companies change so much due to a few people complaining, especially popular people. people who like or are happy with something aren’t typically going to go online and talk about how good it is, compared to people who dislike something will go complaining about it everywhere. that’s all they seem to see. I wish they would take more risky decisions or at least make some kind of poll gathering peoples opinions, rather than just going with the “safe” overdone troupe we’re so used to.

They could've toned down the antagonism a bit without making her too friendly. Having all characters being so nice to Rover feels a bit monotonous to me

[@lazyf0x]

few things to note on - Verina actually still has the same height, they just make the head bigger - Every character proportion in CBT2 have been adjusted a bit and overall has a higher tris count. - Many character designed changes are due to CN players feedback of "playing too safe" for a 16+ rated game. So will probably expect more fan service design in the future given how they change some of the other characters like Yang Yang, BaiLian and Taoqi.

[@lovelessshoot883]

So i expect some manservice too (in copium) and i still don't understand what CN found rude about Awu

[@djentmas867]

​@lovelessshoot883 his personality. He was a character who cared less about the player or whats happening. Like 'come on come on get it over with'. But he could be seen as just very direct but maybe it wasnt translated great and was even more rude or direct in Chinese

[@djentmas867]

​@@lovelessshoot883it could also be seen as a contrast to other games that cater to the player and have harem esque functionality. Everyone basically loves the mc and never doubts them. CN and JP playerbase is known for appreciating that kind of character.

Exactly. This is what pisses me off. Ok I can understand genshin -- 10+. But this is SIXTEEN. SIXTEEN, shouldn't they freely run around half-naked?! Why do I still see censorshorts everywhere? Shit, I swear, some recent genshin characters are more fanservicy than this and that's saying something! The only hope is to collect the local paid currency and wait quietly for a few months, maybe they'll release something decent by then. But the current situation is pretty bad.

And I'm also very hopeful for some design adjustments: sure, several improvements were made, but there's always some potential left to explore!

[@hieple4164]

5:14 While I do agree that Yinlin is intentionally fanservicey, I think she was always intended to be the "dominant-sexy" type, which is why I think her new design suits her character more imo. Her old design while cool, she is "too cool", coming off more like a delinquent than the officer she was suppose to be. I especially didn't like how messy her hair was, it doesn't give off dominant, sexy boss lady they were going for but rather a trouble maker who doesn't listen to anyone. That's why I much prefer her new design more. While Yinlin still doesn't look like a typical officer, she looks way more like someone of authority. Cleaner, more dignified, and still sexy. If I were to make some changes, I'd move the Tacet mark to the slit on her qipao so that there's a reason for it to be revealing like that and so it'd actually shown when she does her ultimate. Another thing is to give her garter belts & stocking, since we're going for the sexy theme anyway and I do feel her legs look a bit empty.

[@RavenCloak13]

Honestly the main problem is not enough green. Would be more unique to have a nature girl look more science and come from a different perspective. Her original design I just liked more because it reminded me of old 80's sci-fi films about the last plants from Earth on a crash course with the sun or a black hole. Especially with all the random science stuff you see around and the setting they gave her. Hell, you could have even made her cut out where her 2nd designs vine came out of. Instead of a tail, it's a start point she could wrap around herself as a bag line to carry stuff. Combines the mutation aspect with the sterility of science look.

[@eeee8818]

[@hiiambarney4489]

Technically speaking, Mortefi was going for that same crowd too, in a way. Scaly instead. With recent grand social developments, I'm very glad they didn't keep them. Paints itself a little bit better towards this serious setting.

[@RavenCloak13]

Verina I wanted to actually stay more sci-fi given the background and how the mutation concept works more as a sci fi aesthetic. Plus it buck troupes for the hippy look that the nature associated character could take it from a more science side feel. Hell, the tail she got from her 2nd form could just have come out her front and she uses it to wrap around herself as a bag holder. The main thing is more it didn't have enough of another color to break up the design. The grey suits reminded me of old sci-fi movies like Solaris and Silent Running. Anti contaminent suits that you spray down to not bring in other invasive flora/fauna to a new biome. If she had one of those half hoods that clip on like a rain jacket and her twin taiks came through that it would look cuter and more unique. Having it release air to deflat and for decontamination would be a cute animation and work more with it. With the open bits just where he mutations come out of. Vine straps around her thighs, vine out of her mid section and maybe have even bits of her hair growing as vines.

I feel like it's a shame that they toned down Chixia's hostility. All characters being so friendly to the Rover from the get-go doesn't make for a good start to a story. It made sense for her to be wary of us, we had just fought, won and ABSORBED WITH OUR OWN *BODY* a Overlord class TD. Honestly, i found it weirder that she DIDN'T put a gun to our face after the fight.

[@Ciel423]

I liked how some of the old designs were actually referenced in the final version as part of their backstory. Like lingyang in his story quest and in Chixia's case, her hair became red when she was awakened as resonator. One of Verina's cherished items is her goggles from her old design

[@aciesara5444]

Late to the party, but this video unintentionally helped me understand WuWa more. While I like the current design more, the previous design actually explained my confusion when I played this game. 1. I was surprised that Verina has a mature voice (in JP) despite her appearance, but it fits the Naruto Verina as that version looks like a mature person who just happens to have a small stature. 2. In Lingyang's quest, I was confused why the children were afraid of him and why the heck he was surprised when I willingly shook his hand. I mean he looks like the most harmless playable character I first met in Jinzhou. It makes so much sense when he was Awu. 3. This isn't about design, but the CBT 1 Chixia makes more sense as she is like a police if I remember correctly, so her hostility towards possible threat is understandable. I get the criticism as it can make the MC reluctant to go into Jinzhou, but I wish they had retained her cautiousness.

Somehow when I look through the CBT test version of WW, I feel like Kuro was on a good path there, definitely able to captive players to enjoy not just the gameplay, but the story too, but the final version of story we have now is what the "Majority" testers feels like the game should become, which is a shame, they could have keep a lot more players at heart while slowing fixing their optizime setting, when I noticed they changed the intro of the game, I ady have a feeling some ppl will drop the game due to similiarity in many other games, cause they seen the test footage as what they were promised for, but I guess what's done is done, now just hoping they could done better in future update

Just found your WuWa channel, nice to see you two covering these in addition to PGR! (Also didnt expect to hear "Silent Scream" in this xD)

[@YouMe_Clay]

From my personal point of view. I really liked Awu's design. But the problem was that he combined 2 handicaps on his own. The first is that he's a furry. And we all know that furries are not necessarily appreciated with the label attached to them. The second, his personality seemed too little explosive and did not necessarily fit with his physique in my opinion. Personally I was disappointed after seeing a few scenes where he appeared during certain streams that I was able to see during CBT. This was definitely not the idea I had of him when I first saw him in the "WuWa closed beta test game play trailer" video. Around 1:25 he looked imposing and fierce. Beyond that, he seemed friendly and shy. In any case I hope that if ever the developers plan to reuse Awu's design. I hope they rework his personality and attitude. I would like them to be inspired by Judal in "magi: the labyrinth of magic" and even have the same seiyuu.

[@linaaoki]

I have a pity for all these beast characteristics characters lost. Mortefi's tail, LinYang paws and overall appearance... I mean that could be a distinctive trait making WuWa different from Genshin, ToF etc. Imagine the game, where you could play as, for example, werewolf, angel, mermaid, dragon, ogre... It looks like developers tried to make everything simpler for not taking the challenge 🙁

I don't think Verina's original outfit idea is that out of place. Characters like Yuanwu and Mortefi (and basically all the guys) feel like they have modern clothing/materials, and the space suit looking thing fits. Characters like Jiyan and Aalto have weird suits that, in some cases, are like undergarments. If anything, I would say Verina's fantasy dress doesn't work with a lot of the other characters now. Especially someone like male Rover, who probably has the most 'modern' outfit in the game.

[@windygrotesque2102]

aalto and calharo wears modern outfit because they came from new federation as well as verina too hence why she did wear astronaut looking outfit in cbt but i think they changed it so she can blend well with another jinzhou character (since she live there now), even her gourd is same as another jinzhou character instead of new federation character

I wish they added the tail back to mortefi, baizhi looks way better, Verina needs the old armor back and take out the head dress completely, I understand wym abt yinlin needs but I think thigh high boot/s or a more stable shoe would better suit game, and rovers alt appearance is wayyy better now

[@4HLEV0]

I love yinlin but she would look so much better like that 5:32

[@adheva8911]

Yeah, I like the old design more, but I can fw that!

[@ACSigma]

Poor Awu. Von Lycaon proves that nobody minds the fur if you're hot enough

[@NunaPlays]

The "Scream" bgm jumpscare.

[@nezumimouse5440]

I hope there will be less changes about characters being rude or threatening and Kuro stands its ground, i dont want Wuthering Waves to hold itself back too much in terms of story. It's why i like playing PGR over Honkai impact.

[@joaquinnevarez2509]

And don’t forget about Chun she also had a big redesigned

[@RanRan_11]

There was no confirmation about that, lmao. It's all leak, so we don't have any context about the "redesign".

[@joaquinnevarez2509]

@@RanRan_11 I saw it and the redesign looks unfinished but it looks cute but I love her original design couldn’t they use the redesign for a unknown new character and the original design the way it is I really love her original design

[@wolfstormwizard424]

Honestly her design look way to similar to Jinxi in term of hair styles and stocking wear. Since she’s a witch. I would say make her from a minimalist stand point to maximalist but still fitting into the world because her redesign imo is underwhelming and still lacks features, functionality that makes her unique and different to others. From a business standpoint people want character that are cool, attractive and have their own distinction that makes them entirely different with details.

[@joaquinnevarez2509]

@@wolfstormwizard424 well I still love her original design

[@notmaylea]

Chun had the prettiest profile picture and the 1000% face card. But that was all lost in her alleged redesign. I wish they won't scrap the original Chun completely and instead tweak it and give it to a new character if it really doesn't work for Chun's character concept ^^

[@lissy06726]

the gray raven background music threw me off so much but awesome video!!!

[@akiramaverick18]

I hope they kept Mortefi's tail at least :(( he could've been so unique

[@Wurps]

5:30 Nah she looks better the new way for sure, don't be envious of her assets. Cool video, interesting to see how the characters have changed over time.

[@HavocSword]

Oh booo why did they scale back the tiger beastman to generic anime catboy😢no comment on "that"🙄who even greenlit it....

[@redmoon9618]

This game knows how to choose better models not like some others o-o

[@mumeisapostleiforgorwhatnu3207]

Chixia definitely got a _glowup_

[@maxameleon]

I really like the tail, and I think the bedhead looks better actually. Mortefis model now just looks kinda strange, dont know why

[@SamF1reF0X]

I understand why Kuro chose a more safe design for Lion boy. But deep in my heart I hope they will not be afraid to make more unique designs for the future characters.

[@LUCAS420BLZ]

I wouldn't mind if they reused Awu and made him a relative since Ling Yang is a completely different character Awu was supposedly a general but considering the entire story rewrite yeah it makes sense why he's gone

[@kokomidanoporbeleza7558]

they will

[@RavenCloak13]

It's more it doesn't make sense since Arknights exist so they know it has a market but the problem is more its not specifically there market.

[@Keck_YT]

Cool coverage. Shrinkifying Verina was a bad call... but think they got most of the others right.

[@cronodoug]

The video is very good. Well explained, especially for people like me who don't know anything about the game.

[@jasondphoenix]

Original Mortefi is actually pretty dope, would've been nice if they at least kept the tail...

[@radiantgoddess8881]

I kinda like verinas old hair it was way less busy like id change the goggles for the ribbon and then change the outfit lol

[@nobody-xh6ii]

... velina's 2nd outfit [the colorful one] looms SSSOOO much better..

[@lioncat79]

I believe that there's something else about Lingyang. In a later video about Lingyang, you said that Lingyang's voice in the CBTs is too young, as in 6 years old, and that it was a letdown to many fans After that, Lingyang received a new voice, and while a small number of players prefer his CBT voice, his new voice is seen by many others to be more fitting. Given that Lingyang has a teenager body, I too believe that his new voice is more fitting

[@djentmas867]

THERE IS NO WAY YOU JUST REFERENCED HEROES 3. Me and my Dad used to play that every day when i was growing up. That and M&M 6-8. I have never met a single other person who even knew about it lol.

[@RateUpRadio]

I love seeing comments that recognise HoMM 💕 I grew up playing it with my brother and absolutely fell in love with the creature design. I still play it now thanks to the HD mod and the fanmade Horn of the Abyss expansion which is excellent. I'm happy to hear it has such good memories for you too 💖

[@viego-theruinedking5367]

wtf old Chixia was amazing, hope she return as another character

[@nakaharac]

im surprised you didn’t put camellya, she had a huge redesign

[@meiyamanaka]

Verina was SAVED!! I like Yinlin as of now, but i understand your critique about her. I want Taoqi to have adjustments in her skirt. It's hella weirdly short and we can literally see her butt while she's just walking. I love her design, but that skirt is putting me off.

[@kucingbarbar6373]

Agree or not, we also need rename for these characters which similar each others. Jianxin, Jiyan, and Jianhsi.

[@welpdenny]

“Not a very stylish hole you’ve got in the back there, Sir.” *_excuse me?_*_-_

[@nyuuh]

thank you Tectone for covering this!, will definitely come to stay up to date with Wuthering Waves' changes. let's go!!!

[@kasaneluvr_7371]

*sigh* I. Need. More. Men. With. Tails. TAIL ENTHUSIASTS, GATHER!! But for real tho. I got so sad when IL Dan Heng had no tail... I know its lore and whatever, but at least give us a skin option with it..! Same goes for Yae Miko. She has ears, but no tail, ok i guess?.. And i know it shows in her ult, but i would've loved it if it showed on her model as well. Its probably a pain to make, but it looks so good...

[@p0tat0o0]

Lingyang. If you do his companion quest you find out Lingyang isn't even human atleast that what his dialogue hints at. So his appearance doesn't come from being a resonator but from being the last of his species. He wanted to be human so he ripped out his fur twisted his bones or something and filed down his claws. That's what his dialogue says when he talks about the "Jingle beast".

[@p0tat0o0]

But i don't know what he was like in the closed beta so it could be that he wasn't a different species back then.

[@larkalfen4513]

People forgot about the menu coming out of a watch in the first gameplay reveal

[@Faiqal_x1103]

another potential naruto reference for verina aside from the naruto run and kakashi quote, THE GOGGLES

[@WobinR]

YOU TELLING ME THAT WE COULD'VE HAD A FURRY 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm so mad they changed his design

[@kata5398]

🤮

[@iintendtoboilyourteeth6573]

Nasty

[@Shannessa]

This list got a new victim… 🍙

[@RateUpRadio]

😔 Onigiri will be missed

[@SuperDuperSoundFX]

I must've skipped the dialogue where they tell me resonators have mutations. I just thought Mortefi just have scales cuz he's part dragon.

[@sseokmae]

I stopped watching mobile game youtubers cuz they always had obnoxious voices or editing, but your way of making videos is so good, i love it!

[@togatomato]

the only design that looked finished was Awu and then they changed it. Partners so mad he loves leopards and now he a lion who cares about lions lel.

[@Alejandrillooo]

The star they had before is pretty simalar to Luna's frame, don't know if both of the games might be related but...

[@welpdenny]

You should’ve also mentioned the male rover. He looked so bad in the first beta test. Now he’s definitely MC material

[@Fineartguy]

I'm sad lingyang is just a kid It kind of makes his themes really weak in my opinion Also I really like how the furry design was
