  • Due to feedback, it would seem that Kuro Games has changed this Wuthering Waves character COMPLETELY. Is the new Danjin better or worse?

    Do you prefer the new Danjin or the old Danjin?

      Old to be honest. I'm not sure who these ppl who complained about old Danjin are, but i liked the old version. It created real character diversity & the intensity of her battle dialouge was so visceral.
      This may be wrong, but my personal take it that these complainers' "real" complaint was that it's hard to "waifu-ify" a character that is suffering from a mental disorder.
      Had they stuck with old Danjin they could have developed an amazing story where they find a partial cure (bc this is a fanstasy world) & Danjin needing to grow as a character & accept herself could be the trigger for that cure to take full effect & we could have gotten a fleshed out story leading to when Danjin goes from crazy girl to someone who finally accepts & loves herself without needing others to affirm her. & then we could get what we have now with this new version of her, a justice focused self confident girl with a bit of crazy hiding in there as a left over remnant of who she was. Bonus points if they even update her in game battle dialouge so that after the arc it becomes what we have now, but they still leave a toggle option so ppl who liked the way old Danjin spoke can still hear that battle dialouge.
      So i'm sad at such wasted potential. & maybe it wasn't a "waifu" drive that was made ppl uncomfortable, but i can't help but feel that if Danjin was a burly man who was mentally unhinged & spoke in 3rd person instead of a cutesy girl, nobody would bat an eye.

      I like new Danjin. I dislike "yandere"s because I've been stalked IRL, which isn't as fun as it sounds. I usually dislike 3rd person talk because it either comes off as purposely dumb (I'm talking drooling baby levels of naivete, aka: Paimon) or needlessly ego-centric.

    • @danielw.2456
      @danielw.2456 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      @@roadbone1941 Honestly, Danjin doesn't feel very yandere to me. The trope in general feels more like joke that everyone in said setting where it's happening kinda plays it off as cute or acts like it's normal. Or it's some weird horror fetish thing in other scenarios. In Danjin's case it seems very much like she just has mental instability & that makes it feel more sad & real. She's not trying to be that way bc it's cute. In her old lore her power literally breaks down the users mind. So she kept fighting for the sake of the people she loved & that's why she became obsessed with them. Bc basically what's tethering her to her sanity is the people she is protecting. & if she sounds like a child or dumb for speaking in 3rd person it's bc, as i said, her mental faculties are decreasing. So it makes sense she would start saying her name to refer to herself bc she very possibly could be forgetting her own name & wants to not forget it. But she definitely isn't refering to herself in third person bc of arrogance.
      Otherwise, sorry to hear you've been stalked... Sounds terrible.

      I honestly do not really like any anime character tropes (especially the maid, cutesy cat-girl, childlike/shy, and other some-person-that-is-very-much-not me fantasy). Always hard to watch (and get caught watching). I do like interesting characters, however, and Danjin SEEMED more interesting and less typical before. I was very interested to see her story because it was rather unique compared to essentially just being a "hero".
      I liked the vacant eyes and near psychotic expressions as they were believable in the context of her character, and I thought it was a very nice touch to truly develop the character. I'm not sure I would ever get the impression that all or any people with DID would actually be like her. I have mental illnesses (relatively common ones), and very few of the people that I know that have them represent my experience. I do not feel misrepresented because those people exist nor think their experiences are inaccurate representations. It's actually helpful knowing that there are such vastly different experiences because it helps me not stereotype my own circumstances. So, I do not think it's harmful to have an uncommon representation, as long as it's not complete nonsense or mocking. Like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was unrealistic, but very believable and far more intriguing in its presentation.

    She licks the blood from her finger at the end of the trailer before talking with the girl, which makes me think she might be a straight up sociopath or phycopath now... Or at the very least a sadist that uses justice as a justification to inflict pain on others... Not sure how to feel about that if that's the case. XD

    I really hope they haven't thrown away the morally-grey side of her entirely. Instead of having an alter associated with DID, I would change her personality to be two-faced as a means of representing her 'good' and 'bad' sides.
    I think it would be cool if her character struggles with apathy and sadism. It would be interesting if her view on justice places those she deems 'good' on a pedestal, but then for those she deems 'bad' to be nothing but filth that must be eradicated from existence. She could be a two-faced character that would graciously give everything for the ones she idolizes, but then feel nothing for those who don't fit her ideals on justice. In the presence of those she idolizes, she would be the sweet and kind girl we've seen her to be so far, but when alone with those who don't meet her expectations, she becomes apathetic towards them, and her sadistic side would reveal itself.
    To add a more deeper perspective, the fear of abandonment aspect in her character can be further developed as well. Her motivation could be based off a belief that the people she idolizes will one day abandon her if she doesn't continue acting as her people-pleasing persona, and that fear of abandonment drives her to pursue the justice they seek as a way to prove her worth. She's frustrated with herself, so she simultaneously uses justice as an outlet for relieving herself of stress which would explain why she switches into an apathetic state devoid of ethics. Her stress would be so overwhelming in the moment that her selfish priority to relieve it would override any ability to empathize with others. She would experience sadistic pleasure because she copes with her suffering by inflicting pain on others to mimic the idea of sharing the pain together. The mental health aspect of her character could be that she lacks self-worth which resulted in the development of her ruthlessly apathetic and sadistic traits.
    Just some thoughts from me since I think she has a lot of potential to make an outstanding character if written correctly! It would be an absolute shame if she merely ends up as the uninspired 'perfect girl with no flaws' troupe

    kuro made the right call by a long mile. mental illnesses are a touchy subject, but if they're well written they can make for amazing stories and characters (see silent hill 2, for example).
    the fact they're going as far as revisiting whole character personalities, backstories and motives makes me hopeful for the writing in general. i've noticed that her inspection report was quite well written and flowed really well. hopefully we'll see what they cooked for the actual story soon enough

  • @mariapazgonzalezlesme

    The new version is better tbh. And since the main theme of her character is justice, this could allow the writers to dive into the different types of that subject, since they are know for creating morally grey characters. And since WuWa world is in a post-apocalypse ambience, this allows players to see how her characters develops, better or worse.

    There's a guy on Twitter who is Chinese and he shows things that were lost when they come to the English version.
    The danjin name when it was first revealed had a strong reference to jade and virtue. but in the first cbt this meaning in the name changes to a red flower called cinnabar.
    now they've gone back to the name she had when it was first revealed, which makes me believe that this danjin in the showcase is the version they originally had in mind, but for some reason in the first cbt it changed. (I remember there were rumors in China that the guy who was writing the story for the first beta was taking paths that conflicted with what the rest of the team wanted and was fired... anyway, just rumors)
    and danjin remains a little crazy, but in a subtle way. If you notice in the showcase after she wipes the blood off her face, she licks her finger that she wiped off previously

    While I'm partial to the old Danjin since I liked the yandere aspect of her character, I'm interested in the direction. Making the darker side of the character more subtle means there'll be more depth in her story to come. I never really thought of anime characters speaking in third-person as infantilization, but I'm not against the change at all either.
    One thing I love about the new PV for Danjin is the way her presence is depicted. When facing away from the caravan in the distance, she looked like a sinister shadow. When she was behind the masked guy, he seemed to only know she was there from her intimidating pressure. I'd say she's more like a wolf in sheep's clothing now, where she was just a rabid one before. I can't wait to see how her story goes this time around!

    I prefer Old Danjin, I don't play games to solely be realistic... outside of the weird 3rd person dialogue... especially in english, I find the new version less interesting and rather boring. It's unfortunate. I liked that she was more seemingly emotionally unstable and detached from reality.. which is fine if it's due to mental illness, I can't see it any other way... you can't be normal and be a sociopath, it just doesn't check out... yes, it was in a tropey type of anime way, but people need to realize these uncomfortable truths.. and the uncomfortable truths of that extremes exist, and this is an anime video game. I'm kinda miffed that they got cold feet on their original take of this specific character.

    Personally, I think this type of character can work really nicely and lead to some interesting dialogs and events. But in a gatcha games where focus is put on MANY characters and the space is really limited, it'd be really really hard to make Danjin work without making her seem childish or unreasonable or just over saturated as a character. For example some things should be properly built up through the game, additional characters etc. Rapid changes that might seem out of pocket will just confuse players instead of making her lore more appealing.
    Also, i really love her new voce lines and this type of voice suits her wayy better in my opinion. As for her sister i really will miss her if they got rid of her. It was a really nice and imo significant detail in her character

    All I can say, speaking in third person is a Japanese thingy. If I am not mistaken, most children before 3rd grade learn the language that way. Which is why speaking in third person, kind of present a child-like personality in Japan. Which would make sense for Danjin to portray her mental health. (I guess this is stereotypical as well, mental issue -> child-like act)
    Note that they only use their name instead of first-person pronoun, but never use He/She/They.

    I liked more the crazy old Danjin 😞 that was a nice interesting character history, where you feel curiosity about her and why she is like that.Those lost crazy eyes were were hypnotizing.

    @Briliantless 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    Maybe I am the only one that prefer the old Danjin, if you think about it Danjin is basically No.21 but less robotic
    I just like when the characters are imperfect personality wise and stand in grey area instead just black and white personality
    It is a shame since PGR does this so well, Alpha, Luna, Vera, No.21, Selena, Roland and Camu (a.k.a I can fix them)
    Fractured characters gives interesting way how they see the world setting they're in
    But that just my opinion

    Hm. Well, I don't really have a preference for either one. I'd be more concerned but ever since the Chixia redesign it's been clear to me that they are still rebuilding a lot of stuff. As such, I think that it's still way too early to worry about what-ifs. Let's wait for them to cook with the story, and then decide whether the Danjin change was a huge loss or not.

    I wish they didn't make her this cutesy waifu and kept some of the dark stuff from her old self. Mental disorders aren't nice, and to have some form of a mental disorder character in this game felt affirming since it's not very common in games to have that. Especially one with emotional instability or personality disorder like this.
    Making her be obsessively protective of her family could have been kept in - same with her being aggressive and unstable during fights. Other stuff that are borderline psychopathic didn't need to be there but the new Danjin is just... a normal damn girl. Scratching original design completely, making her this cutesy waifu, which is really sad.

    I didn't know she had those mental health issues in the first CBT, but i think it was almost better that way, It didn't only add more diversity to the roaster, but it was also a bit more realistic and interesting you know, even if it's a game it doesn't have to be all sunshine and rainbows
    Ps. Glad she now talks in first person

  • @alexfrank5331

    The change in her design is a directly reflection of what's wrong with our society.
    "You shall hide your eccentricities and be affable all the time!"
    But since this is a gacha game, it's probably better this way. They can never dedicate sufficient resources to tell her story properly since gacha means creating husbando/waifu while semi-abandoning the old.

    I think the new direction they're taking her in is definitely better from a writing/characterization standpoint. Still, tbh I'm worried about their willingness to change their own writing decisions/visions for the story/characters based on player feedback. I prefer to see what story they have to tell without interference because I think it's more genuine than having a story cater to what people think they want or is best as it could make the characters/story inconsistent. Either way, I am glad that they seem to be trying hard to make sure that this game meets people's standards, and I'm looking forward to how the final product turns out.

  • @DarkTheDoc
    @DarkTheDoc 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like the new Danjin, and I'm all for changes that will make the game better, we just know that Kuro really exceeds on making darker stories, I hope they don't shift too much from that and give the game a more softer approach, I get it's intentional to reach more audience, but It won't be appealing for a post apocalyptic world to be all shiny, at the end of the day, people will still be complaining regardless and no matter what.

      @DCminh-pe9wf 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Is she a yandere or is she just obsessive? Does she have a crush on the MC or anyone? Is it out of love?
      Because through this video she doesn't sound yandere at all
      Sure I don't like the way she talks in third person, but I loved the vibe she has for herself as this unhinged but keeping herself together
      Especially her battle voice line which has a more realistic intensity to them
      How is it lazy writing? This sort of character is much harder to write and make stories about than the generic justice girl new Danjin is, which has been done a thousand time before
      Not every show or media need to lock themselves in portraying mental illness in a completely accurate way. Sometime its just a plot device to make the character interesting and create conflict. They're not trying to send a message, so why would a accurate representation matter?

    • @ghostingspirit

    The newer danjin makes more sense as a personality but at the cost of that split persona trait she used to have if it was ever there at all. We all know wuthering waves isn't the best in tenrs of story writing and i feel that probably is reflected in Danjin quite a bit. But who knows? Mabye they'll develope her split personality farther into the games story the longer we get to know her. Personally i think she looks like a pretty cool character. Im just waiting until the hotfixes allow me to play the game past the tutorial. Im stcuk with the crashes 🥲
