WuWa Talk: Aemeath is not here...

3.1 so far is... WOW.

I was expecting the usual stuff, similar to 3.0 main quests, and get some breadcrumbs of Rover lore. Oh gosh how wrong I was. What I got are big doses of Rover lore...! As a Rover main, this makes me soooo happy~

And they brought back Court of Savantae! I was hoping they'll bring that back! I suspect Xiangli Yao's father is there because didn't he mention stars in Yao's resonator showcase??? I've always wished that we'll get a Xiangli Yao companion quest where we join him looking for traces of his father.

New bosses are quite annoying to fight, but that might be because I'm not used to them yet... Ooooh but they're humanoid and have great lore behind them!

Anyway, this main quest have a bittersweet ending. Less [just] sad, more bittersweet. I still cried though, not buckets, but they are still tears. I couldn't continue exploring the new area after that. We are reminded by how surely and hopeful Rover is about getting her back so no need to be too depressed for the time being... but the feeling do lingers. So yeah... fun times ahead whenever I re-play them in my alternate accounts and when I see other people's playthrough. I haven't heard the EN voice for FRover's but the MRover was so good. He sounded like he's holding back tears, it's sooo good.

Foreshadowing?

Also, from what Luuk & Aemeath said: Past Rover might be less expressive than the current Rover. They probably is [emotionally] numb...and/or slightly depressed... maybe??? Interestingly, I thought Rover is a bit like Aemeath in the Black Shores arc. Like what happened in that secret room. Although maybe that's just a side of them the public saw. That might also mean the Rover in Lahai-Roi is post-Black Shores???

Another interesting thing is the introduction of time-travelling. Could that be the cause of Rover losing their memories?

And Rover's homeland... I see most people's reaction to this is something like anger over not letting Rover visit their homeland when they're homesick (basically)... BUT... You know.. usually SciFi stories that involve space travelling to a new place... these kinds of stories usually means it's a one-way journey. And most of the time it's because the "homeland" is not fit for living anymore (or dying, probably Threnodian-related?) so they need to relocate their people. Rover might be that person who do reconnaissance. And the sentinels are for terraforming purposes... My point is, they probably couldn't go back because the "homeland" might already be destroyed.

I can't wait for the next phase!!! Can't help expecting more Rover lore from Luuk~

Convene

I need to make a correction.

It wasn't 60ish, I got Aemeath at 73rd pull (T___T)

*sigh*

And I ended up getting her weapon! I just did like one 10-pull on the first day and one single pull the day after...!

!!!!!

This does look like I might be skipping Luuk's signature weapon because I don't think I can get it if I lose my 50/50 again... Well, he can borrow Xiangli Yao's, I guess lol

Aemeath is here...

I remember the date~~~!

Did just realised it's the same day for release of Wuthering Waves 3.1 update lol (I guess that at least means I have something to say today)...

Anyway, here we are. 21st anniversary of me as a blogger!

Not much to say lol really. It's just the same-ish stuff every year.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Let's make this like a mini OTD post:

Last year, I included these in the post:

Spotify
Just realised NEWS stuff is available on Spotify yesterday! Didn't think that would be possible...! Now I wish I could listen to V6 (geo-blocked, I think) and KAT-TUN older stuff...
Good news, V6 is now available! (Not KAT-TUN's older stuff though...)
Wuthering Waves
Tiny WuWa Update: Well, not much to update since I regularly do that lol anyways~ Ah... I can talk about today's...? Unfortunately, I lost my 50/50 to Jianxin (damn she's S3 now lol)... and since I had enough (kinda), I continued until I got Aemeath.
I haven't checked but it was definitely near 60ish pulls... Her signature weapon will have to wait next rerun (T_T)

First Day's Rants

February's first post!

I do love adding posts to that "1st post" label :D

Books

So... yesterday I received a BBW parcel in the mail for books— "My Heart Is a Chainsaw"... and yet another version of "Dracula". SIGH. I can't explain it. My reasons are it's hardcover and probably has larger text size (this is very important). It also might be pricier elsewhere. That's what I told myself but really... It's just that every time I see it, I'm reminded of how I kind of prefer "Dracula" to "Frankenstein" (not a fan of the writing style & Victor Frankenstein is annoying) and always have to check if it's a version worth buying so that I can reread it. The amount of efforts(?) I'm putting into this is so ridiculous especially considering "Dracula" isn't even a favourite LOL

[photo to be added later]

Youtube

The last time I blogged about the voice thing is in a July 2025 post. Yeah. It's getting worse this year. I just unsubscribed from a WuWa lore channel because I can't stand their voice. It's actually pretty normal-sounding but it's just the way they read that I find annoying. I don't like it, so I unsubbed. I really don't care anymore. This is a year of cutting out annoying things from my life.

Reading

I am "saved" by my flower-picking trips again because the first book I finished this year is from those trips. It's a book I found at Karamunsing in 2024. Unfortunately it's a 1.5 star read (rounded down to 1 on GR). I don't find it okay and I don't particularly hate it so 1.5 is just perfect. It's just a bit too boring. The characters are okay (it's a multiple POVs kind of book) but I hate the bride's POV and I won't deny, that's one of major reasons that ruined the book for me. Another is the multiple POVs format. I don't usually have problems with books that use that but here, it almost makes me want to hate the format. It makes the timeline confusing sometimes, like I still get it, but it's very distracting when you jump around them.

Anyway... it's going to be another year of mood reading. It might be more reading than last year but still moody :P

Mini WuWa Talk

I've been seeing some discussions about the 3.0 main story quest which I find very interesting. I kinda arrived at the conclusion it's because they are still building the lore and world (and a bit experimenting), like they did in 1.0 and 2.0 but I guess people are comparing it to 2.0...? I just hope it's not a case of overglazing 2.0 because honestly that feeling they have now for 3.0? I think I had that during 2.0. It just got covered up by a big bang ending that is the carnevale. In the latest patch, it made me realised, "Ah.. so they're still building up the lore" like that literally means it's still cooking in the kitchen... it's the first chapter, you don't usually get the ending of the book in the first chapter.

Oh well.

I'm just here for Rover. For me, the big main story is Rover's past and memories. The most important thing in the main story is Rover. I guess not many see it that way because it actually makes sense that some characters don't appear that much again because IT'S Rover's story. Why would the main focus of the main story moves somewhere else?

[Wait... Ohhhh, so the segue arcs are for this... an alternate PoV... without involving the main story directly. Just like a peek behind the stage kind of thing.]

WuWa Talk: Mornye

Updates, updates~

Once again *sigh*... draft from early January:

Pink Nanami

Looks like it's Pink Nanami (Aemeath) & Luuk are next!

LOL there goes my wish to get Iuno, I guess... Fortunately I got Lynae & her signature weapon early. I'm a fan of Nanami from PGR so when Aemeath appeared in one of their videos, I was already feeling familiar. I just realised it when other people mentioned Pink Nanami XD. I just wish to get one copy of her, I'll skip her weapon and get it next time.

Random

I'm currently watching a Japanese streamer that just started playing Wuthering Waves recently. She just arrived on Ragunna... The part where Rover was barred from entering (for safety reasons lol, they were the real danger all along) made me realised how much I hate the Order of the Deep. What a joke. I especially hate their "Pilgrim's Sail"... Roccia was sent on that at a young age! Like WTF. This is why it's hard to see Phoebe. I will always remember she's related to them. I know not everyone is bad but... I wish they'll change their name/uniform or something. And please never ever give them as much power/money as before. Never let them forget what they did in the past. They usually have the tendency to bury or remove out of record whatever that makes them look bad.

...and back to present day!

3.1 Preview Livestream

Seems like there are lot to look forward to in the next patch! Although there is that one event that is surely making people talk (Moonlit Path event)... which I'm glad that I don't have to see much in my youtube feed. I think that's more geared to those who just started or returned to the game so that they can catch up while they spend (with some extra for the usual players of course)... I'm tired of seeing people complaining because they are comparing WuWa with other similar games for that.. nowadays I don't even bother read those posts and comments anymore unless they mention PGR 🙄😐

Anyway... yup, more rerun banners I have to skip 😭 because I'm aiming for both Aemeath and Luuk...

Mornye

Hahh... so second half story is lore-heavy main story. Rover is again known as the arbiter here so that means we get Rover lore too~ At this point, I suspect that it's a bit like DWJ's "Deep Secret" (if we ever go that way, that's my recommendation for "If you like this game, read this" prompt).

Mornye is... okay. I do think she's a bit reckless and selfish (you can see that in her resonator showcase, and later in the ending of second half), but not really in a bad way... more like in a "For Science!" kind of way. It makes her character more human and honestly, I don't hate it.

This exchange amused me XD. I think I'm at 100% for every region at this point, and I've completed the one where you find Soliskins lol (honestly, that's a lot of eye-kisses :P)

Another character with a tragic fate...
I wish he'll get to venture out of that place in the future.

Convene

Oh, the temptation is so bad... I'm surprisingly fine with getting Mornye next time (no rush!) but Iuno... I want Iuno for my Augusta. She might even work with a Lynae & Xiangli Yao team, damn it! The temptation is so real! I actually did a 10-pull in the beginning but no gold in sight. Then yesterday, I was tempted again (for both Mornye & Iuno) and fortunately, after a few 10-pulls, I get nothing. Now I just hope my astrites survive for the next patch lol

So that's my convene "update" for my main account.

My Fenn account lost 50/50 but I've gathered enough to get a guaranteed Mornye. Funnily, that account got her weapon early haha (no screenshot for weapon because as usual, I was too surprised to take one lol)

Used the guarantee for Mornye in my RuRu account. Was planning to let her use Discord but changed my mind later. Basically went all in on her weapon XD

Exploration

Really had fun with this one, especially when done on the motorbike. Few memorable ones are the one involving the robots:

One quest had you help make a franken-mechascout...

...and the other was to complete its bucket list (T_T). This one is a tearjerker.

I think Robbie here is a reference to Asimov's short story "Robbie"...?

Another Asimov reference regarding the Three Laws of Robotic...

And the urban legend quests! I totally expected that ending lol but it's still so good when I see it confirmed.

The stickers quest too

Jurassic Park reference!

Well, it's said by a Grant (Dr Grant in JP?) here instead of Dr Malcolm.

Also found some Luuk lore in the wild lol

BTW, we have a confirmation on Tachibana-san~ Yep, it's him alright XD

18th

Here we go again~ 18th anniversary of my blog url!

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Almost post a WuWa draft post but I held back :P... well I might still make a mention]

It's not even a week into 2026 yet and I feel like so many things have happened.

*loooooooooooong sigh*

Here are some updates, I guess...

Random anecdote of the day: I was in my room when something flew around... I thought it was a cockroach. Had a screaming session, as one can predict. Then it flew out after I open the door. Back to my room... and something flew around again. So... there were two of them! Screamed again. Grabbed my glasses cautiously and realised... it's a moth. 😅 And it's only that one moth. I thought I saw one flew out but it probably never did. The thing I thought is cockroach outside was just a shadow 😑🤣
Received a book via mail yesterday. [will update later]
Tiny WuWa Update: I... finally... did... the last few 1.0 main story quests for my backup speedrun account! No speedrunning this time because I want it recorded. Now my Rover there can be levelled to 90. I was stuck at Level 70 for so long because I can't find a good time/space to record (mostly because I'm out of space LOL). I say record, but it's just gameplay without my voice XD. I just want to look back at it whenever I want.

Bonus: I also recorded Jiyan's companion quest~ It's best played freshly from finishing the 1.0 main story quest while you're still feeling the impact of war with the Threnodian.
I've been writing in my diary recently... The need to use [up] my pens (beginner-friendly fountain pens, gel pens etc) helps with that a bit. Use your stationery!

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Last but not least... *sigh*
I'll never get used to this but here we go haaah...

One of my uncles in Tawau passed away early this year. Why does that sound awkward? It was just last week! It's practically still New Year so it's a very surprising news when his daughter informed in the family Whatsapp group. I did first hear it from my parents because I rarely check my Whatsapp anymore. Doesn't lessen the effects of reading those messages.

He was.. is.. one of my favourite uncles. It's not like we're close or anything but he's easy to talk to. Friendly and always full of smiles.

Rest in Peace, Uncle Yohanis.

WuWa Talk: Lynae

Posted in: # Wuthering Waves | 2025 posts | blog images | Interest: Games | My Fangirl Side

What better way to end the year with another Wuthering Waves post?

Convene

I WON MY 50/50!!!

It's another red number but at least it's a win! As usual, I'll try getting her weapon but I have no high hopes.* [updates ⇊] I do have an extra Static Mist (it was Ciaccona's) so she's practically ready... I still need to build her though. Haven't prepared much because her materials are the new type ones. The most I can prepare is Dreamless' (her weekly boss materials) and even that is limited to three times per-week. Practically had to halt Buling's skill-maxing progress to give way to Lynae.

My backup-speedrun has all the luck apparently... I think I never updated about it before but yeah that account was lucky enough to have Cartethyia and her signature weapon from months before. And in the newest patch, I pulled for Ciaccona (guaranteed, I think) and got her signature weapon early. And it also has Chisa, so I actually have a team ready. Unbuilt, though. I haven't done any 2.x main stories which means they'll stay forever Level 40 as of now LOL. Well, I can max out their weapons at least.

*Chose to leave that in. Yeah... I did a 10-pull after drafting this post and I got her signature weapon early!!!

Finally a green number after so many reds...
WAIT... just realised this. Why is Zhezhi's signature weapon suddenly recorded at 1st pull??? It should've been 16th pull (proof here & here)... Lynae's is the earliest ever I've gotten in the featured weapon banner. Huh. I guess that's because the in-game records only store like the last 6 months... so since the ones before that aren't available anymore, it counted that as 1st pull lol... that's so weird.

Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways update

The latest update has removed the echo boxes (but we can claim twice of tacet field equivalent of the usual stuff)... which, honestly, is fine with me...? Seems like people are really mad on Reddit. I'm just here thinking "How did they know"? It has been a bit tiring and boring to farm those from there so I'm kind of glad they did it.

Nowadays I've been doing the fields more because I've surprisingly ran out of echoes from 1.x areas (and I need tuners!). I've gotten stricter with my echoes so I've 'recycled' many that had sub stats I'm not fond of. I just wish the fields give more Cost-1 but I guess it's easier to get them in the overworld. And that brings back to why I do fields more now because I just kill the common TD on the way to the tacet fields.

Also, let's face it, the echo boxes stopped being relevant since the introduction of echo nests. Of course, it's the best way to prevent from getting over 3000 echoes in my backpack but at the end of the day... no use hoarding them if the sub stats going to be bad anyway. Definitely not easy to find the best one but one can start from just levelling up to 10/15 and recycle if there's no crit rate/damage stat. Don't even bother going to full Level 25.

Anyway, it seems like they also buffed Scar in the extra last boss stage...? He now has three stages (if I'm not mistaken)—two normal Scar stages + one Goat Scar stage. It's not easy to defeat him now so you can enjoy longer fight with your overpowered team :P

3.0 so far...

Oooh I like it just right. Sci-Fi vibes ♥

I had qualms about the school environment but that part is like, practically, lore. It's not like I have to go to classes XD (apparently you can enter the classes but I'm usually outside exploring lol; maybe there'll be quests later but since I haven't finish them I don't know for now). And I get it why the main story quests are kinda mixed with companion quests. Some people don't like it but I do. You won't get that much character lore if you're in a companion quest. They can show more in a main story quest and there's probably no limit (if needed). I do think it's possible to make a separate companion quest too which will focus on the more minor lore kind of thing. It does feel a bit weird that people is reacting like it's a recent thing. I think they've always have been "integrating" such stories in a main story quest since 1.x. I notice that it's usually, again, when the character lore is largely related to the main story. It just happen that there are a lot of them at the end of 2.x.

And again I repeat it here: To me, the big main story, has always been Rover getting to know about herself. That's the biggest mystery! The others are just side quests. It will always be Rover, Rover, Rover for me.

Anyway... what else... Oh yeah. I find Lynae's wish to stay in the academy a pure and endearing wish (considering her background). She just wanted to stay in school to learn and socialize with friends 😭—she loved being a student there, so I'm glad with that ending. The voidworm fight was super cool... it brought me back to those little moments of fighting Thresher Maw but only this time with a cooler-looking giant worm.

Motorbike

This is so fun! Didn't think much of it in the beginning but it's really a fun way to do exploration in Lahai-Roi. And the radio station feature is so good too. It gives you reason to just ride the bike so that you can listen to the music XD

Luuk's JP voice

My seiyuu-guessing game is kinda rusty but I think that's... Tachibana Shinnosuke??? The JP account hasn't posted anything about it and nothing from the seiyuu's side but people also think it's him on Reddit. It would be great if it's confirmed soon.

This topic has came up again recently—diary.

Well, it will be more of a minor update...

My 2018-Now Diary is Still a Thing

I mentioned this particular diary in a 2021 post and fortunately/unfortunately it's still usable. There are so many blank pages left. I seem to have added a few more entries in 2021–2023 (after that post; mostly near the end of year XD)... the most funny and sad one was in 2024. I probably was supposed to be extra excited about doing it for 2024 since I even made a "2024 cover". It's more like a two-page spread of just stickers and the number 2024 on it... but no entries at all after that. So sad-looking :P. Then I returned to it this year, and [always] in December... and kind of decided I'll write something again. Why is it always in December?

Anyway... there are a couple of things I would continue to do in the future regarding the diary. I really like using the date stamp (with red ink) so maybe I'll try looking for ones with its stamp pad ready on Shopee later. And stickers! The diary is the perfect place to use stickers! It's nice to see them when I'm rereading old entries.

Though I can't say for sure that I'll write in it more frequently next year but I will want to try.
