Wuthering Waves EP 1.3 | An Unfinished Song

It all begins with a simple melody, a gift from someone special long ago. As she masters one piece after another, her heart yearns to create her own.
Lyrics may elude her, much like the intricate emotions woven into human hearts.
Yet, every time she plays, it's the memory of someone she holds dear that dances through her mind, a bittersweet reminder of love's lingering presence.

"Rover. I want to understand. What it means to be human." "Shorekeeper. You are more human than you think."

[@cosmicse_r_pent]

Kuro is fr really good at humanizing their canonically "not human" characters, first it's Kamui, Nanami, Haicma, and Hanying in PGR (the first one is an artificial personality, and the rest are machines), and now Shorekeeper in WuWa....... All of these characters have one thing in common and that is they and their stories made me cry like no other

[@swastikOP1984]

more human than human ? I smell Bladerunner here

[@richardsanjaya1426]

i love that it is an unfinished song Shorekeeper made to express how she felt until now. but the lyrics is not done yet, because there are still so much more in life to explore even though she has lived for years. and now, her reunion with rover will let their journey to write the lyrics itself.

[@Shhh_94]

This was so beautiful ❤😭 Shorekeeper is literally Kuro's favorite character they made for WuWa 😭

[@omeganoelf.6173]

Maybe because she is a very significant character in story

[@lethotalit]

Cuz shorekeeper is a truly highest char as lore until now. Jinzhou is just small district of Huanlong so Jinshi is just a cheif of the town. MAYBE UNTIL NOW THEY GOT MONEY SO THEY CAN COOK.

[@Sercotani]

hope they keep it that way for future patches. One of the problems of gacha live service games is the inability to stick to one place or one chara, you always have to keep moving forward and sell new stuff and new characters. Perhaps she'll have an alt some day. I'm skeptical though. People get tired of new shiny stuff very fast, and Camellya is soon...

[@lethotalit]

@@Sercotani don't worry bro, kuro bring back the char by their skin. It's may alt by meta but kuro don't let you forget them.

I'm curious about the vision of Kuro of developing Wuwa world, I wonder what the other region looks like, and the clothes. the background, history, ..etc. I am passionate for the Universe, I love the pictures, views of wuthering waves, especially when it comes to the Blackshores. From your development of after apocalypse world, I am looking forward to your success. I hope you can develop ideas of other species, civilization and so on, to the infinity and beyond! May all the best come to you, Kuro!

In love with this music. Amazing job Kuro Games! 👏

[@MiltiadesTheYounger00748]

Masterpiece 10/10 You keep setting the standards high, this speaks well of you as a company, in relation to the game, it gives the feeling that we will continue to raise the level of immersion, animation, music, story & gameplay, without a doubt WU WA is here to stay and for me it is currently the best game of the genre. I would just add that if you explored more permanent world activities to encourage cooperative play, you would innovate more since only in events is when team play is encouraged, we need more interesting challenges to encourage this point and that certain bosses in the story can only be defeated collectively, you have already shown us that you can achieve great things, I hope you do something for the game day by day and it would be even more beautiful than the game already is, greetings, I love you Devs.
