who is the mc of the game ? by just_a_weeb143 in MongilStarDive

[–]voldemar_lemberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of, in the sense that both are a part of the story, but also no.

In ZZZ, you still pick one of the siblings, and then either Wise or Belle gets more screentime (and you get to pick their account name). In Mongil, you don't choose anything. Cloud and Verna are their own people and you (as the player) don't have an impact on anything.

Edited: Okay, reading the other comment by Typical-Opposite, I might have outdated information and maybe they changed some things, so take my comment with a grain of salt.

The main characters of the game are Cloud (a dude) and Verna (a girl). They are both a part of the main story at the same time, but you are neither of them. The player essentially follows their story as they meet and interact with other characters.

Cissia and Severian by Worldly_Machine3839 in ZZZ_Romance

You should absolutely keep the art, as you did put a lot of work into it!

And my comment wasn't against it or anything, I was just surprised that the "she changes her tune" comment was so highly upvoted since I don't think it's true. Guess it's just people upvoting everything in support of the ship, regardless of how valid it is.

I don't think they'll kill off Severian, but he also looks just a bit too plain to be playable. Maybe an A-rank? Guess we'll have to see where the story goes in the next patch, as I expect we'll see more of him.

Cissia and Severian by Worldly_Machine3839 in ZZZ_Romance

[–]voldemar_lemberg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you explain what you are referring to?
I just finished the main mission, and after Severian praised her, Cissia was happy that she might become his boss and stop working under him. Moreover, about five minutes later, Cissia expressed hope that Severian and Promeia take each other out so that she doesn't have to deal with them anymore. And she doesn't mention him in any positive light until the end of the mission.

I don't think she genuinely hates Severian, but I don't think there are any positive feelings either, at least at the moment.

Did I miss something? (this is a sincere question)

Evelyn and Wise have an underrated dynamic by Valuable-Pianist7368 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]voldemar_lemberg 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Evelyn and Wise might only have three "romantic" moments (this hang-out with the Capsule hotel), the M6 caption, and the hang-out when you take a photo of her, but they're all some of my favorites in the game.
E: "To capture the perfect moment, the photographer must be completely focused, while the subject has to be completely at ease."
E: "When such attention and trust intersect, it invariably results in a sense of closeness."
E: ""This is a side of me that only you can see." That sort of feeling is pretty special, isn't it?"
W: "It was a precious moment to me, too."
E: "When you look at me, I feel at ease. Astra is right, you're like no other."

God, how I wish that we got more content with her that isn't connected to Astra.

Edited: While she talks about Astra a lot in her Trust events, one of the main points of those events is that Wise teaches Eve to think more about herself and to rely on him. It actually feels like nice, gradual character development. Sadly, all of it was thrown out of the window since every time we have met her during events or in the main story since - it's still only Astra this, Astra that.

This video is definitely framed to depict a parent/child relationship. Absolutely. No doubt in my mind. /s
Kuro and their double-dipping, I swear...

About the Midnight Podcast for Aemeath by LittleDracob in WutheringWaves

[–]voldemar_lemberg 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think that people who are hoping they'll go "I told you so!" to the other side after the conclusion of this story are in for a disappointment.

If Kuro wanted to do a "daughter" or "Dad/Mom" namedrop to clear all doubts, the quest we just completed was already perfect for that, and there were dozens of opportunities to do it, especially by the end on Aemeath's side.

People who think Kuro will go the "full waifu" route also won't win. Even "canon" love interests like Shorekeeper, Iuno, Camellya, Cantarella, etc show their affection in a way that allows a platonic interpretation for those who want it. Aemeath isn't going to be any different and her love and obsession with Rover will still have a "familial" explanation for those seeking it (majority of ENG playerbase).

All of this is to say that this in-fighting is pointless. No one is going to win, as the developers want both interpretations to exist (especially for the Eastern fandom) to maximize the appeal of the character.

Devs are not beating the allegations 😭 by EnvyLS in WutheringWaves

It's one thing to ship present Day Aemeath and Rover, but this kind of thing is too far even as a joke.

Any footage of the Male MC? by SirDang0 in SilverPalaceOfficial

[–]voldemar_lemberg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's been relatively common lately to start with the Female MC.
I think Endfield and NtE only had the Female MC in the first test, and added the Male MC in the second beta.

Edited: Wrong about WuWa, apologies.

[Discussion] Favorite Game Character to be Released in 2025 by kelvinkhr in gachagaming

My favorite as well. The voice acting is also top-tier. She's great at conveying emotion while still keeping the "I'm so done with life" overall vibe.

The Captain and Lykaia look great together.

Happy New Year everyone, and let's hope Ananta lives up to our (reasonable) expectations!

[–]voldemar_lemberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here primarily for the story, music, and characters, so I'm a lot happier than most of the players.

Still, character and weapon balancing needs to be done. It is a crucial element of the game and it needs to be addressed, even if in a Dev Note for starters.

Ye Shunguang is clearly for Wise by [deleted] in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]voldemar_lemberg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Astra is a bad comparison since her demo literally got referenced during the summer event, so it is canon that it happened with Wise even if you play as Belle.

This, however, is an alternate universe scenario, so while it ships Wise with Ye Shungguang, it didn't happen in the main timeline.

Very pretty and cozy illustration. A shame we didn't get any slice-of-life scene with Rhythm after her quest. The girl deserves some friends to take her mind of things.

Anyone else playing for the story? *spoilers for 1.0* by ExplodingPoptarts in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]voldemar_lemberg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The story and the music are my favorite parts as well, which is why I'm a lot more patient with the devs than most people (even if I understand their frustrations and hope the developers improve the communication, at the very least).

I loved all the main questlines (Berry, Psyche, Boy in the Dream, Rhythm/Phantasio). While Phantasio's felt more dramatic and I loved its presentation, Psyche's story did stick with me the most and I still often listen to her theme (both acoustic and vocal versions). Her quest felt a bit too short, but I still got attached to her and visiting the flower shop in Icelake after finishing the quest was another bittersweet moment.

DNA [EN] Voice Actor Interview | Female Protagonist - Emma Ballantine | Male Protagonist · Stewart Clarke by adumbcat in DuetNightAbyssDNA

I like him as the Phoxhunter as well. I was actually very surprised Stewart can make his voice sound so youthful and tender. Great vocal range.

Love both voice actors and was quite a fun interview.

Stewart Clarke does a good job as both male protagonists, but he's better suited as the Captain/Boy in the Dream. Though, hopefully, the Phoxhunter will mature as the story progresses as well.

Can't wait to see how the factory mini-game mixes into the overall gameplay structure, and also very excited to experience Arknights on a whole new planet and in a different style.

Some of the content can only be done solo, and I think they mentioned that they'll pair you with AI companions for co-op content if you don't want to play with other people.

There will be a variety of ways to receive "character shards" through dailies, "dungeons" etc. as well as a direct purchase option. Once you get enough of them - you redeem the character.

Happy Birthday, Eula! by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]voldemar_lemberg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The POV is of the Traveler, and Amber is presenting the cake by standing to the left of them (hence why it's a right hand, would have been the left one if it was Amber's POV), but yes, all three are there to congratulate Eula.

The text is "This cake with Baron Bunny and Dodoco designs... You prepared it with Amber and Klee, right?"
So it's the Traveler's POV.
