Camellya's Hidden Backstory makes her Way More Interesting

[@RateUpRadio]

Let me know if you'd like me to read you more backstories like this 😙Anyway, I'm pretty sure Camellya is my favourite character so far.

[@Skullssy]

ABSOLUTELY YES, THE STORIES CHARACTERS HAVE CAN BE SO GOOD!!! Also big agree, Camellya is beyond wonderful and adds some delightful spice to WuWa that I've been craving (is a big Vera/Cerberus fan)

I think it's both interesing and unnerving how Overclocking affects one's mind; it goes from subtle changes to psychological body horror. And yes, continue with this narration vids! They are entertaining!

[@savioalmeida8188]

Also the whole physical mutation of the resonators an intriguing aspect of the world and if your into the whole body horror aspect as you have mentioned. An example would be Verina where I thought the flowers on the side of her face were earrings. Turns out they actually grow out of her.

[@Almondno13]

if you read TD Hunter (Geochelone Weekly Boss Quest) the main NPC having some amnesia episode too because of Overclock

[@ExpelParadise]

Please continue with these vids. They add a lot of context to characters we play which doesn’t get shown to much in the main story

[@ResearcherReasearchingResearch]

I love these lore dives into the character's extra flavor texts. I tend to forget about them when playing. But watching my favorite WuWa CC, then I'm 110% game.

[@SushiBandz]

I feel like videos like these are what the Wuthering Waves community needs for sure. There are a handful of people pretty frustrated about the recent companion stories putting so much focus on Rover instead of the character themselves. But with the flavor text hidden in the character menus there's so much more. A storyteller that players can run to could add so much immersion to the community

[@Skullssy]

Big agree, the flavor text adds so much to characters and it can be so easy to miss (SUCH AS HOW THE CHARACTERS FEEL ABOUT OTHER CHARACTERS BECAUSE THEY BARELY INTERACT IN THE ACTUAL GAME AHHHHHHHHHHHGH)

@@Skullssy Sanhua busy managing stuff, Jinhsi busy with other stuff, Changli busy with political affairs, Yangyang is a midnight ranger doing things, Chixia is a patroller, Baizhi too busy researching, Mortefi too busy researching, Xiangli Yao too busy researching, Jiyan is out and about on on excursions wherever need be, Zhezhi has no friends besides Rover rn but too busy painting and being broke, Danjin is also the same as Yangyang, Yuanwu is managing a dojo, Jianxin is wandering about, Yinlin is doing shit in secret, Shorekeeper is too busy modulating and looking up stuff for Rover in Tethys, Camellya just got back but she goes out to recruit people, Aalto and Encore are consultants. The list goes on as there's very little time for leisure when so much is happening in the world around them. Lingyang is in another village practicing more lion dances. Calcharo is doing secret missions for Jiyan and also has his own gang that's in another nation. Verina and Encore interacted with each other in Encore's story quest.Taoqi sleeps a lot and Youhu loves to look around for ancient antiquities.

[@ParafrostV]

Camellia plants are associated with love, passion, devotion and desires. Camellya giving a plant to Rover and wanting to serve is who she is as a character. Shorekeeper is a keeper of secrets. She kept Rovers past a secret as per their request. It's only fitting for the 2 who act as the sword and shield for Rover to have a focus on them with Rover. Rover gave them purpose. When Rover left, one was lost and one was still carrying out her duties to the best of their abilities.

[@Skullssy]

@@ParafrostV I can get that, but it feels very odd when how extremely rare it feels right now for the other characters to even be on the same screen together, its what made Verina showing up in Encore's quest so surprising to me, and it was a little cameo but man its nice to see characters interacting with each other! They're great characters! Kurogames does character interactions SO well in Punishing: Gray Raven that it just feels disappointing that (so far, this could change dramatically with 2.X after all!) most characters just refuse to even be on the same screen as each other, even when they're directly referenced or reasonable at the same place and could help like the Black Shores.

[@PatrickRatman]

I am hoping that maybe some time in the future Kuro will revisit some of these character's stories or let them develop with us, especially these ones like Camellya where she really could use with some in game character development. I'm definitely going to be putting this into the player feedback survey. however the part in her last dialogue gives me some hope that this will be the case where she says "As for the memories we used to share, if fate decides to reveal them, they'll resurface naturally as we continue our journey together." And since we're finally going to be leaving to other countries hopefully it'll give them time to cook up more story.

[@magpie_monster]

Camellya is honestly such a tragic character. Even her attachment to Rover seems tragic, given Rover is just sort of.........the only person she can remember. I wish more of this had been in her story quest.

[@Prodigal450]

@@magpie_monster nowhere near as bad as a soldier who lost his comrades in battle. They draw so close to you that they become family to you, and when you see them die, you develop what is known as PTSD, something that Jiyan is going through right now.

EST companion quest in the game imo. Because it wasn’t just her story, but illuminates Rover’s too as well as a strong past relationship. And the sappiness was extremely my thing - “none of the realities where we we weren’t together survived” or whatever the wording was - love love love it.

[@PatrickRatman]

"All paths in the stars converge toward this single endpoint, so- The universes where we didn't meet must have all perished! only this one survived! If the universe were a flower, then yes... This must be the perfect world for a gardener like me" ~Camellya seconds before i bawl my eyes out.

[@leukos22]

As time goes on I really wish WuWa would spend more time developing their quests further to include most of that Character Backstory into their actual Character Quests and while we're at it - I hope we get more quests in general. It feels like such a missed opportunity to release a numbered patch and not move the overall story forward in any way or tease upcoming characters and story beats that we can be excited for. Feels like a damned shame.

[@Icon1306]

I loved the way they referenced Nanami and Haicma story... Everything on this quest showed the deep and complex reality that characters have and how they show how anxiety and emotions can take a huge toll on your mind

[@the7blargs]

Camellya is definitely one of my favorite characters after doing her story quest. Shes fun to play and has good animations. Changli is my other favorite. Guess i got a thing for mommies and crazies lmao.

[@sylviagerlach2579]

Yes, it's a real shame that we don't see that in the game. It's also a shame that it's reserved for those who pulled them. Kuro clearly wasted a lot of story potential there. These chapters could have been included as a flashback in the companion story. Rover would have hardly been needed in the story for that. Maybe right at the end, to get her out of her impending overclocking. There's actually still something exciting to discover. Camellya lost her memories once before she came to this village. What happened there? Hmm, I really hope we get better stories in the game soon. The fight alone won't keep people in it. Thank you for this insight. Unfortunately I lost my 50/50.

[@OmniMori]

Lina reading session? 👀 One step closer to ASMR (But seriously I really love this! Lina's voice is so clam and soothing and learning lore at the same time is always fun!)

[@Sercotani]

it's tragic that due to the nature of this game (and gacha in general) they're incentivised to write an entire character in a patch and finish their development there and then. Don't have this issue in more VN focused gacha like GFL, FGO, GBF, and even Kuro's own PGR. They need to drop more story breadcrumbs. Like, we're supposed to visit a certain new place later but there's 0 hints of it right now in 1.4, like at all. We just know it exists. I guess we'll be given a reason to go there that patch, without any buildup in this chapter. This video was a good attempt but honestly, still unimpressed with Kuro's WW team's writing so far. I like the idea that Camellya's psyche is extremely fragile and her seemingly only anchor on reality is us, the Rover. Still, on the meta side it's funny how she's written to be yet another character that is FOR YOU like, right after Shorekeeper. This (so called) canon waifu doesn't even show up in Camellya's companion story, just implied. At least she showed up in 1.4's "main story" I guess? In the Somnoires. Imagine being a newer player and reading 1.3 and Camellya's companion quest right after one another. Disorienting, unless you're really into ML and harems. And I see people giving that crap about "so characters can't show affection for the player without it being love now?". All I have to say is that I admire their ability to be wilfully ignorant.

everything was fine and sentimental until I read the medical report for camellya's and discovered her biggest secret. it sent shivers to my body.....this shows that this story has a very dark background that we've seen nothing like it yet .... i wish these stories where implemented in the story game play itself it would've been mesmerizing

She's so much more than people think! There's a lot of nuance in her story that people glaze over and then call her just another rover waifu. BUT YES I'm still annoyed by how much of the cool backstory and the other sides of her character are hidden in menus instead of being shown in the quests 😁 An issue not exclusive to her... I always wondered why they record so many lines of dialogue to be hidden in character menus, instead of using these resources in a more engaging way for the players. And I say that as a huge bookworm, so it's not like I'm not allergic to reading

It’s like WuWa turned to an entire horror game at the moment. That was probably the most creepiest shit I’ve ever seen. Tbh, probably scarier than most horror games.

Overclocking seems to totally stop human aging. How old is Camellya? 50? 300?

[@Мычун]

I don't quite understand the reason why Camellia went through the "reboot process" so many times. Due to overclocking?

[@aldyzero6676]

Yes

[@ShianCyan]

Due to overclocking too often that she changed her personality thats not her previous self

[@ResearcherReasearchingResearch]

Pretty much. Unlike other characters, Camellya's mental is anchored by Rover alone. No Rover, and her mental declines quickly to the point of almost triggering overclock. It's also so much more easier for Camellya to trigger it, because of her past.

[@Мычун]

@ResearcherReasearchingResearch thx!

[@hxppythxughts7149]

Afaik Camellya only through "reboot process" aka erasing her memories just once... if you mean by other Camellya itteration showed in the companion story, they're just the "what-if" Camellya from alternate timeline, the main timeline Camellya only erased her memories once just after Rover did.

[@KartenonYT]

I really don't like the direction they took with the story for Wuwa. I don't want to sit through a dozen different character backstories. They're trying to copy Genshin when they'd be better off doing something different. I would've preferred characters introduce themselves in the overarching main narrative and we get to learn more about them as the story progresses, not have their backstories told in side quests that slow the pace of the story down to a crawl.
