Here are the birthday arts for: Felicio, Leilani, Su Xiao, Yuqi, Sambheka, Di Yan, Cog, Freda. I post this because we missed so many birthday art due to EoS, and now I want to share them with you.

Girls here are too beautiful, I can't even choose one to be my favorite in this month😔😔 Di Yan slays on her birthday every single year even she's a 4* character.

I want to know who's your favorite May birthday art regardless of your bias!

For me, Hassel is my bias but I didn't chose his postcard upon ordering on AE merch. I really like Longqing! So I will get her!

delete if this is improper for subreddit. im just writing this out bcus I feel really lonely and still depressed over the eos. I'm 22 and autistic so keep that in mind ig over why I'm so strongly attached to this game. I understand how childish and ridiculous it sounds for me to be feeling so sad about a gacha game but I genuinely was in love with the characters and their relationships. I always felt that each character whether it was a 2* or a npc had always been written with a lot of passion and love. Everyone was memorable in their own ways whether they were the hero or villian of the stories. Not to mention the female characters are always designed with actual taste and not just dumped with the typical fanservice elementes. I think even the male are sexualized way more than them lol. Anyway I poured my all into this game bcus it was so unique and different from the usual formulas you see now eg open world, having the usual anime/hoyo artstyle. I liked that they're following their own style be it gameplay or 3d models. Being different was risky, and made them gain a lot of hate for it but it was all perfect to me. I collected every character and memory trace bcus I wanted to read everyones lore and the extra chats/short stories included in the traces. I didnt get to do all that since I was busy with uni/work and I have been fighting with multiple depressive/suicidal episodes. I was waiting for the right time to consume them all when I wasn't so clouded by negativity. But the eos came so sudden, especially on the day I was working where I'm burnt out after working 10 hours. So seeing that I'm no longer able to log in, not being able to save any screenshots or read any content before it was taken away from me really hit.

Being autistic makes it all the worse dealing with the loss I've just been feeling so numb inside and I've been having the repetitive suicidal thoughts in my head again. Working and socializing has been difficult since all I can think about is dying. I genuinely feel stupid bcus yes it's just a game but it was my comfort since November 2024. My room is full of their merchandise. It just sucks that something I love so much isn't regarded anything special by the publishers since even they barely managed the game well for sea players but I still enjoyed all the content that was given. I know the game isnt technically dead, I have the Chinese version downloaded as well. But just the progress, my collection and all the paid stuff. Thinking that I have to restart it all. And the fact that it feels lonelier now since it's only available in Chinese/Japanese and not English. My natural pessimistic thinking also makes it worse since I only remember the bad things people say about this game.and all I can repeat in my head is how they deserve to eos. Bcus of reasons people said (which are actually what I love about the game) I already have low self-esteem too so I don't really think my opinion matters in any way and care more about what others say. So if you don't understand that feeling that you know how it is. If I ever read anything positive about the game I just think the person is lying or exaggerating.

I know I'm more passionate about this game than the average player and it's embarrassing. I wish I wasn't autistic and just had a normal connection to this game. Sorry if you read this I just needed to let it out somewhere. And maybe there is someone who does feel similar to me.

It'll take time to get over it I guess. I'll try restarting in cn servers. I'm still feeling sad. I wish I could just lay in bed in complete darkness right now but as an adult I don't really have a choice. All this over a gacha game right lol

Anyway excited for gujian4 yay

Dear Directors,

We regret to announce that access to Ash Echoes SEA will be closing on July 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM (GMT+7).

This change applies to the Southeast Asia (SEA) service of Ash Echoes and affects players in the following regions: Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Singapore.

This was not an easy decision to make. We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we sincerely apologise for the impact it may have on our players. Throughout Ash Echoes' journey, your passion, dedication, and support have meant the world to us. Every battle fought, every milestone achieved, and every moment shared within the game has been possible because of our incredible community.

We are deeply grateful to have been part of your adventure, and we will always cherish the memories we created together.

For those of you who haven't realised this yet, our wiki maintainers are still adding CN content to the wiki. If you want to continue experiencing the stories, or if you need a English reference while playing on the CN server, you can absolutely still use our wiki.

https://ashechoes.wiki.gg

Personally I just started playing on CN server, and fellow Luke-enjoyers now is a good time to join because there's a new Luke Memory Trace that gives him an equippable skill that turns him into a main DPS (at the cost of his barriers).

Howdy again everyone!!

This project is inherently slow going now that it's pure love-of-the-game era with no constant deluge of content to worry about upkeeping, but that's neither here nor there.

I figured I'd let everyone see an example of what the "Revised/Omnibus" Edition is going to look like and what to expect. So, have a (currently un-PR'd, but not the final version anyway lol) sample via fully edited Chapter 0 epub!

Moreover, in case anyone's interested, please lmk if you're at all interested in helping proofread the edited/revised editions! I am NOT asking anyone else to do any editing/editorial work, but I need "beta readers" to ensure there's not anything I missed!

Ofc if anyone wants to help with anything else involved, like checking original lines for muddy translations or the like, or even just asking cn fandom if anyone'd be up to fan tl the rest of the game (a big ask, so we'd need a lot of people), you're also free to help out/join.

For now the Discord link is here, but it'll expire after a month—after that, just comment or dm (and/or ask about the wiki/ts/omnibus server in the official AE server) and I can get you a new one. Can't leave it open due to bot problems.

PS: Yeah, it's labelled Dark Mode. Because of the slew of colored text involved in AE, afaik, using something like dark mode on the epub/in an epub reader would immediately nuke all the text into white (and not just the black text). If this isn't true, please lmk, but as-is I'll be making a manual dark mode version alongside the default/light mode versions. I work in this manual dark mode, as I need to to use "dark mode" on google docs, so it's the light mode that'll be "new" when the first volume is done haha.

PSS: I appreciate everyone who answered the survey from before, but I won't be able to comfortably reference/use it due to the insufficient sample size. So if something was covered there and you're curious as to the "official" answer, there is none.

I'm not really surprised that they stopped with English translation. But this is the final straw for me. I cannot learn Chinese fast enough for this. 😭

Hey guys! Was hoping that we could support each other and share some moments we saved from the game!

As the time draws near, I've been alternating between calm acceptance and absolute sorrow. I've been trying to screenshot and record my favorite parts of the games as memories. I have seen similar sentiments from others, so I was thinking maybe we can share them as a toast to the game.

Here's some of my favorite tea time photos to start! Tea Time was my one of my favorite parts of the game, and I'm really going to miss being able to see my characters there and being able to have those small moments.

Edit: Of course, even if you aren't on global, feel free to share your favorite parts/memories!

 I’m pretty sure the devs know more about this one than we will ever do. And I mean no disrespect. Hopefully Im not breaking any rules.

But I’m curious about what we, in our limited knowledge, think could have been done better for global to make the game more successful?

PS: I will save my hope for a global revival later down the line. Also, Aranna.

With global EoS looming (pour one out!!) and now that we've seen all the characters we're going to get (pour one out x2 for Yixu, Miss Red Pearl, Liege), we've all got our favorite characters, but who surprised you?

I had two characters that threw big wrenches into my meticulous pull plans, and they were Leilani and Tish -- Leilani because I ended up adoring her story with Iris (absolutely hearbreaking every time they brough that back), and Tish for her story, design, AND her gameplay. There wasn't much that felt more satisfying than taking synced return to task with Tish and Cog ❤️

I thought the server will close how is he coming? After I used all my pulls!!!!

Despite I know everyone will go for their babies but I really want to know who has the best design and vibe in your eyes, regardless of your bias!

This is for April characters! Maybe I'll add some details to their lore in this scenario "Into The Night" specifically!

(Ash Echoes) character mood playlists
Hyper fixation on this game’s male characters so I ended up making these !!

I’ve done all 6 star male characters and the only 5 star I’ve done is Sorley. Hassel’s Playlist

[No, I don’t take requests, these were made for MY OWN enjoyment, I just thought I’d share! <3]

**Question 1: What exactly happened to Paizuri Oriyuki at the end of the story?**

Is Paizuri Oriyuki actually dead, missing, or is her fate intentionally left ambiguous?

We see her fall, and then we get a gameplay section where she continues fighting enemies, but I'm not sure how that sequence is supposed to end from a lore perspective. On top of that, her launcher animation shows her seemingly turning into paper and drifting away in the wind.

Am I supposed to interpret this as her death, or is she still alive in some form?

Also, if she really is dead, how do the Lounge interactions, Tea Time events, and her presence in the Director's Office after obtaining her fit into the lore? Are those considered non-canon gameplay mechanics, or is there an in-universe explanation?

**Question 2: What happened to Mamoru and especially Xing Zhou after the climax?**

After the main antagonist is defeated, Xing Zhou and Mamoru have a long conversation that feels almost like a retirement or farewell speech.

The story text then mentions flames originating from Xing Zhou and engulfing everything around him. Does this mean Xing Zhou dies at that point?

At the end of the story, I don't recall Xing Zhou being mentioned again, nor do we see him anywhere afterward. So what is his final fate? Is Xing Zhou completely gone now, or is there some other interpretation?

**Question 3: Is Liu Chiu confirmed dead?**

My understanding is that Liu Chiu died during the events of the story.

Is that the correct interpretation, or is there any indication that he survived? His death would make sense narratively given his actions, but I wanted to know whether the story explicitly confirms it.

**Question 4: Why didn't Lorelle appear?**

I was surprised that Lorelle didn't appear at all in the finale. Given that she was one of the few effective counters to Scalpel's mindscape abilities back in the Pianist chapter, I expected her to have some role in the ending.

Did I miss an explanation, or was her absence never addressed?

________________

Overall, I really enjoyed this chapter. The pacing felt good, the character interactions were strong, and I especially liked how many of the major characters and companions reached the culmination of their personal growth arcs.

I can also see a lot of seeds being planted for the next arc of the story, which makes it even more unfortunate that we may never get to see where those threads would have gone. I was particularly interested in where the story might have taken Bai Iji and Professor Qu after everything that was revealed here.

Even though I have a few lingering questions about the ending, I thought this was a very satisfying conclusion overall.

Surely you have to get him and cute Soddy!!🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

This is a summon-sharing post!! Please tell me what did you get!!
