Wuthering Waves | Resonator Showcase | Xiangli Yao - THE ULTIMATE TRUTH

[@jrdeborja0000]

Jiyan was man who stands to support a legacy by principal and moral. Yinlin guides by the shadows. Jinhsi provides a reason and Changli leads you to the door of memories. Zhezhi gives you the heart to become true to yourself. Xiangli Yao, someone who faces their fate through self discovery~

For a free character, he has honestly the most gorgeous, well polished, and high fidelity 3D model in the game. His character and story are both exceptional and he was definitely the highlight of the 1.2 festival event, especially near the end. This trailer only cemented him as one of my all time favorites.

This is literally a free character yet it gets the value it deserves, a trailer and a great story for us to learn more about Xiangli Yao, I was definitely not expecting a trailer to be this good for a free character. we love you Kuro Games, keep cooking

[@zerogravity2174]

That's the way they always do things. They never compromise on character design and their development in the story, free or not.

[@cosmicse_r_pent]

​@@zerogravity2174 yep, exactly, Kuro always does character designs and developments right--even for characters who will never be playable the way you want them to be (kind of spoilers but, Cecily in PGR......

[@sonjab.6852]

eh, he was in a limited event. so new players dont get to meet him. he is not getting a companion quest... So unless he appears in main story one day, I would say he got treated quite badly storywise.

[@JKTonshi]

@@sonjab.6852 Wuthering Waves did a "limited" event where if you reach UL45 you can get a free 5-star weapon of your choice, and it had a 42 day timer. The event's still there for every single player to this day. I think we're just confusing the event gameplay for the Xiangli Yao story segment, or at least that's what I believe is happening considering what's been done before.

[@ben-taobeneton3945]

W comment. 👏

This shows that, not all male gacha characters need to be jacked to look good, Yao looks awesome and his animations are top notch. We let Kuro cook, and Kuro cooked us a full course meal. Love you Kuro keep it up!!!!!

[@Hiruma_]

Guys. This is a free character. Absolutely crazy how Kuro pours so much love into all of their Resonators, even the ones they give away for free and also the lower tier characters. Yao reminds me a lot of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. A scientist who stepped too close to the truth and lost an arm because of that. I am not into guys but god damn even I have to admit that all the male characters in this game are so good.

Solon once said that they made a larger joint plot for Nier and PGR than the anniversary version, but it was deleted because the copyright holder did not allow it to be used. They did not want any character plot connection between the two games, which led to the project team urgently modifying the joint content but the effect was not very good. The CN community believes that this has seriously dampened Kuro's enthusiasm for another joint with Nier.（from google translate）

Holy moly, Kuro-chan! It's such a great showcase that I can't even... Your productions are getting better every time, next one is more fleshed out than the previous. Everything is told so well that I'm bought at double pace, I liked Xiangli Yao before but the showcase made him a must-have now. I'm glad that I attended Moon-Chasing Festival and gathered enough Popularity already! :D So many lore tidbits dropped inside! Connection to Perfect Alloy (shown in the current Somnoire with Carnival in Slumberland), which is a material of Xiangli Yao's prosthetic arm. His childhood and attempts to be swayed by researchers to join Court of Savantae, his father being a member of CSC and gifting his son a cube which seems to be a piece to solve a mystery of Xiangli Yao's parent's disappearance. Private Investigator's inner thoughts that manifest and push him forward to search for the ultimate truth - it's like it's his sub-consciousness which is alive and darker, its shadow resembles Calcharo's phantom manifested outside somehow. Keep going strong, Kuro-chan! 🥰

[@liv4110]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but from personal analysis: He lost his arm pursuing his father's legacy, or trying to desperately uncover his disappearance. Perhaps holding onto his childhood memories and trying to live up to the expectations set for him as a child. If I'm not wrong, the scene where his "evil self" is trying to convince him to join them alludes to giving up completely. He faces it, perhaps this is the moment his forte awakens, since his arm was made by his forte? My guess is that he was severely depressed, it's why he skipped the entrance exam. So much symbolism, I hope someone more educated than me in this makes a breakdown soon.

The calm eyes, the small moves, the barehand fight, the voice. Kuro REALLY knows how to make a trailer, not only they make a character ingame looks as amazing as the art but the trailer works as a sneakpeak in the character backgroud. And I love that the NPC's are not just a random faceless voice. xD

[@osaiosai5]

The amount of love and story they put into every Charakter is so insane

[@butterbun7033]

The choice to make it so he probably lost his arm RECENTLY is so interesting to me! I really hope his champion quest goes into detail about it! I feel a lot of games and movies always go with the "they were born like that" explaination which while also realistic I feel it requires less of an emotional knowing than someone struggling with becoming NEWLY disabled in a certain way!

[@erenop2319]

Visuals ✅ Anime Reference ✅ (FMA) OST ✅ Looks like Kiyotaka ✅ except different nature but both does martial arts Absolute Cinema Trailer 🗿

[@ayrtonsenna1768]

What the hell? Kuro make Xiangli Yao hand normal for the sake of past story of his self? 🤔 Really dedicated developer. 👏

[@TopTOBiiiii]

And an npc model for his father too

[@jtho8937]

​@@TopTOBiiiiiWelt but Kuro variant (Hyperreal)

[@TopTOBiiiii]

@@jtho8937 He looks more similar to Galagher imo

[@helix7398]

Even his dark version has different cloths, not just some reskin

[@LeoDragoGR]

I had little expectations about him as a character but he REALLY grows on you by the end of the 1.2 story. So hyped for him as I farmed his materials already and can’t wait to pair him with Yinlin

[@jasonexploration]

I congratulate all the Kuro Game team for their work, with each release of new characters you do excellent work, the animations - the music - the quality of the work to resolve the problems.. it's just perfect, well done to you it just needs to integrate ray tracing on compatible mobile phones like the Samsung galaxy s24 ultra and Samsung galaxy s23 ultra for a better experience

[@Nyukiiy]

This is such a well made and well executed character teaser, getting to see so much backstory and the art, is so refreshing! Thank you Kuro for putting so much attention into your trailers! :D

[@wumbo__o]

2:18 ANIMATED SHORTS SOON PLEASE KURO They really cooked with this one. Hope everyone enjoys their free Xiangli Yao

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Noticed that too. They went full-on anime with the reflections. 😂

[@MarionFR]

Thank you Kuro, seriously, I appreciate you so much

[@MariRosalyne]

It's hereeee!!!!! So hyped for Yao, just like for Jiyan! Can't wait for Xiangli Yao to come home!! And that transition, when he falls after meeting his father is so 🥹🙏 I want Xiangli Yao's story quest, to be honest.)

[@TopTOBiiiii]

The whole event is his story quest lol

[@Ela-jz3zg]

​@@TopTOBiiiiiNo, is the part one

[@omeganoelf.6173]

@@TopTOBiiiii the showcase showed part of his upcoming story quest

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

I hope so, he seems to have a lot more interesting past as an amputee than some characters.

[@tyunniez]

his lore is so cool?? and the depth of his character is so fucking sick. kuro just never stops cooking cuz what the HECK MANNN. he’s so cool!!!!

[@GlacioDreadmane]

yooo, I've tried him, his dmg and sfx is insane, thank u Kuro🙏😭

[@astr1d.x-y-z]

He is, I'm obsessed. I re-cleared all my TOA and holos with him. I love him so much.

[@vapter9432]

Wtf is this animation, so cool. You slay again Kuro!

[@muru6693]

The animation is *chef kiss masterpiece. The combination of 3d and 2d on past story of xiangli yao is very good to look at it. ❤❤❤ Very well deserved kuro

[@kokopermadi5395]

Kuro cooked this one. Visual, music, atmosphere, and mysterious father story.

[@kokohimawan]

I hope Kuro add companion story for him. About his father,

[@noriko1428]

Great work, Kuro Games! I love Xiangli Yao and I love you for putting so much effort in to make him look even more amazing. 💜

[@kuwaghost]

We need more Male Characters like Xiangli Yao, this is just peak

[@Natsu]

XIANGLI YAO MY BELOVED. This trailer completely blew me away, the amount of work put into this is insane! And all this for a free 5*! Good luck to everyone pulling for his copies and weapon!

[@dr.bubbles]

Casually drops the HARDEST trailer and gives him for free. Absolutely crazy kuro.

[@Yuu.com1]

I LOVE YOU WUTHERING WAVES THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS BEAUTY FOR FREE

[@Doctor_Yiggles]

Thank you so much Kuro for the gift of giving him out free! What an amazing trailer for his character! Such a Gigachad! 👊

[@RealBillcollector]

Kuro should just make an anime series or movie . I cant express how good the quality of this trailer . I was hoping for it continue like a series or movie. Im happy we r getting him free but also not happy as they will generate less revenue.

[@mesmxrizes]

0:40 oh my god, look at those eyes details.. It was so perfect for him and can't wait to see him in game. Kuro you did amazing as always!

[@lunenorie]

got chills watching this. xiangli yao's VA is incredible

[@Zeref-n7u]

Jp too is so insane It's the seiyuu of mash from mashle 🔥

[@Witch_of_Gains]

1:20 Heh... guess that tower opened up more possibilities than we ever got to know, huh? Quite an hyper-real experience.

[@audiAriee]

that stairs part really reminds me to that Dim Light's one

[@zeolmproductions7472]

YOUR CHANCE OF SURVIVAL HAS TURNED TO ZERO

[@pakali8385]

Inaff

[@7771-e6x]

It’s that damn tower again

[@WrathDraco]

This is amazing!!! Fully appreciate how you've spared no effort in showcasing Xiangli Yao as a character. Oscar-winning cinematics.

[@miguerys9503]

Wuthering Waves trailer: Ominous foreshadowing hinting to a deeper lore yet to uncover, character story development with depth and gravitas, dramatic plot twist and redemption arc in the trailer itself, climactic ending with badass action. ZZZ trailer: Fringe fetishes and sexualization.

[@wholethedogsout880]

And then ppl wanna act and pretend like ZZZ is anywhere close to wuwa’s level 🤮🤮🤮

[@isabellaj4608]

No literally I cant even play zzz because of that

[@reaperfall6630]

although i prefer wuwa over zzz but lets not act like the yinlin trailer doesn't exist. although it didn't had as much sexualization as jane doe's lol.

[@zamatesenpai8815]

Your right i feel like it was a test to see if they could get away with doing what everyone else has but they retreated from that idea and decided to be original and tell a storry with actual interesting depth ​@reaperfall6630

[@sonjab.6852]

or just different games for different audiences? and lets not act that WuWa doesnt feel like a harem game in a post-apocalyptic world.. every companion quest is like a date lmao

[@CrystalShannon713]

I love how they released him while the world has been watching in awe as people with missing limbs (as well as other disabilities) crush it in the Paralympic games! Represent!

[@CtEve8476]

That's my boy right there!!!! Go Xiangli Yao!!!! Woah!!!!! 🦾✨✨✨✨ I held back from yelling right until the video ended cuz every part of that video so amazing. It tells so much about him 😆😆😆😆😆😆. Awesome work Kuro ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Also, am I first?
