@linkedunlink@Razor_Language Didn't Wuthering waves make a Cyrene clone character not even a couple months after she released?... Right... No hate to Aemeath but her story and design are way too similar to ignore.
Hot take but everyone whining about the story then simultaneously admitting that it confused them, sit this out until someone who actually read and had comprehension skills makes a video for you because y'all sound so...
@xochivacchus@avenchurin_twt Except that herta literally said it is HER choice to make. They very obviously made this decision because instead of saying "If you do x then y will happen" they made it a 5050 chance, meaning the choice was up to Cyrene to choose, and she chose to stay behind, thats her ego.
Elysia was an anomaly that shouldn't have existed, I drew parallels with this idea and I think it makes sense now... Cyrene is "other" feeling because she is, she's not truly from Amphoreus, not OUR Cyrene anyways. The Cyrene of the first cycles is smolrene I believe.
The implication that Cyrene is a forgotten member of the AE makes this so ridiculously heart wrenching.
I think it's possible she went to Amphoreus in order to stop IronTomb and save the universe, even if that meant 33 million cycles without her dearest friends.
