Wuthering Waves TGS Livestream in 8 Minutes

Tokyo Game Show recently had a Japanese live stream for withering waves between the stream itself and TGs promotional material we got a lot of information about character redesigns how the game is looking now and even a new trailer we first had a little summary of the state of the world followed by a small demonstration featuring male Rover one of the two possible protagonists of Wuthering waves the environment is looking so good in the game you can tell things have been brightened up a bit since the first closed beta which is one of the main criticisms people had about the environment it was just a little bit too dull for everyone's liking they managed to retain the charm of the post-apocalyptic setting without making it feel too cutesy and too bright there was then a little bit of a demonstration about the echo system which is basically Pokemon you go around you catch your little monsters except unlike Pokemon you use them as equipment and you farm them for their sets you want to be strong you get good Echoes there were definite flaws in the system for the first closed beta but defeating Echo in order to get a chance of obtaining them was really exciting it felt good whenever you saw that little orange projection left behind and you could slurp them up we then got to see the area at the very start of the game where you begin from the perspective of female Rover [Music] it just looks so much better now looks so much more approachable I really enjoyed exploring the world in the first closed beta and now I think I'm gonna enjoy even more because even back then I thought it was really pretty interestingly female Rover in this footage still has her white undershirt which I was sure they were going to remove even though they added it at some point because the cosplayers at Gamescom in a previous event weren't wearing a white undershirt like that then they showed off the trailer showcasing how the world looks now compared to the closed beta and it is gorgeous they've really worked on the lighting effects we've got weather now that didn't exist before everything looks so beautiful in day and night suffice to say kuro's been cooking it's great to know that they're proud enough of their environments that they're eager to show them off all on their own then excitingly we got a reveal of Yang Yang her design has been tweaked again we already had a pretty good idea this is going to be happening because there were some Chibis from an old event that showcase this new design where she's got no bandages and she's got a skirt instead of shorts so this is the first time we've properly seen it in game and also in the artwork because until now they've been showing off Yang Yang with the bandages up until the TGs artwork which I'll go into in a bit in my opinion the bandages always looked kinda bad so I'm really glad they removed them she looks a lot more put together now and even though I almost always prefer shorts or pants designs I feel that the skirt suits her because it makes her outfit look more like a dress which kind of Suits how elegant it looks I also just wasn't a huge fan of the way the shorts were designed so this definitely feels more like a final design than a prototype design and I'm really excited about her she looks good my biggest fear that came with the skirt was potential upskirts but it doesn't seem to be noticeable in the trailer so fingers crossed our tights are a lot more Brown and shiny and nylon than they used to be so shiny tights fans are gonna be happy with this I guess yongyang is your companion character in withering waves the pymon of withering waves if you will something you need so it's important that she looks generally appealing and doesn't have any weird design features that might be distracting to people I'm pretty sure they also made her bustier again but because she doesn't have the huge giant head and the teeny tiny body she used to have in the technical test it honestly looks fine she looks proportionate I'm seriously so glad they toned down those weird proportions from before and made things a little bit more realistic they later showed off the alto PV in Japanese but unlike young his design hasn't changed at all really he looks better but he's still Alto in addition to the trailer we got to see his updated model in game he's still very similar to before but man I love the way he Twirls and his little Cape Twirls along with him it looks so good he loves spinning he spins his guns he spins himself he's got places to be then they showed off a trailer of Encore who hasn't changed much except for her name she used to be called Anka from my understanding Encore is pretty much how it was pronounced in Chinese anyway so following the Musical theme of the game it makes sense that they would have changed it like this her gameplay seems to be the same as well hopefully with some adjustments because honestly for a 5 Star character she wasn't one of my favorites I gotta say I didn't really enjoy playing her that much in the closed beta test what is of course still great about her are her little ram horns that she gets when she uses her resonance Liberation and goes into this berserk mode then we got an updated look at a crownless cut scene as well as some gameplay groundless is the first boss you fight in the game and also boss you can refight later and it's just extremely cool crownless has the cool Factor the fight also felt like one of the best fights in the closed beta test so hopefully the rest of them can get on that level you can tell Kuro really loves the crownless which is exactly why they built this huge statue which they even showed a little making of video I've always wondered what do they do with these huge displays after the events are over like I'm assuming this one was that Tokyo game show or something but what did they do afterwards do they give it away do they throw it in the trash do they bring it back somewhere even though it would cost loads to disassemble again they shut off scar again he's an early-ish boss in the game but he was late in terms of the amount of story that was in the CVT he was one of the Final Bosses you can tell he put a lot of interesting thought into that fight I still don't know how to feel about this poor man's outfit but hey we got some cool artwork of him I mean look he's even smart enough to velcro his pants so that he can go to the bathroom King there was a segment where the voice actors all got to play a bit of the game but unfortunately they were still playing on the first close beta test build so there was nothing new there this brings us to the TGC promotional artwork my grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards Kaiba cheesy on the right seems mostly unchanged though it seems that she has some yellow streaks of hair intertwined in her braid now but otherwise she seems pretty much the same which is probably a good thing considering she already had a huge huge overhaul before where she used to look like this but young young and Bailey on here look pretty different we've already talked about Yang Yang and how she's changed but by Leon was not featured in this live stream at all and she seems to have gone through some dramatic changes to her design in the tech test she began with black hair and then graduated to green with a lighter green streak and now she has lost some of that green in her hair again she's lost that weird impossible braid in her bangs that she had her shorts are no more and instead she is wearing an elegant if a little short dress she's got more flowers in her design now and gloves and a completely pointless thigh strap from the sticker we can even see the that one of her ears is no longer covered up and one of the most drastic changes perhaps is that her eyes have completely changed color from purple to Green I am so excited to see her full model in the first closed bed issue is very elegant yet stoic character but she was also kind of an archaeologist type which is why that design with the shorts felt like they made some amount of sense but the design itself just wasn't very good I think I'm okay with her current redesign depending on how it looks in game in particular if they keep her nice practical boots car games has been pushing a lot of promotional material for withering waves lately and if you want to learn about sanhua's terrifying Vision you'll have to watch this video which goes into detail about her tragic backstory
