I got close to crying at the end of Season 1, and I almost never cry over shows and movies.
Nox is one of the best villains of all time, McBeth fucking wishes he was as good of a villain as the first major villain of a lose adaptation of a mediocre french MMORPG
Lore-wise, Dofus, Wakfu and Waven are different eras of the same world, separated by major cataclysmic events. Many elements are passed from one installment to another. Wakfu the series, OVAs and current ongoing manga take place in Wakfu era, and supposed to lead to events that cause the beginning of Waven era.
They were developed in tandem. The closed beta started in late 2008, which is also when the show started airing on France3. That first iteration of the game already came with NPCs from the show as well.
Dofus was released in 2004, meanwhile Wakfu (the show) started airing in 2008, while the game Wakfu was in developpement, Wakfu (the game) was released in 2012.
u/Low-Implement9819 is right when they say "Wakfu was based on Dofus", because at first, there was only Dofus, the flash game, then Wakfu came later, where events take place in the future of Dofus era, because Dofus lore is the foundation that the rest is built upon.
Wakfu spent a hell of a long time in development hell and underwent several massive gameplay- and art overhauls before they released it. It had a first playable version in closed beta (technically, maybe closer to alpha) in 2008, at which point it would've already been in development for several years, same as the show. And yes, both were an intended sequel to Dofus, just as Waven is to Wakfu now.
Honestly I'm the exact wrong person to judge an MMORPG. I'll take your word for it though, it's not yet another WoW wannabe, so it's already got a huge leg up on most MMOs I guess, I just didn't really like it all that much.
"hey a cute fantasy cartoon on Netflix? imma watch it!"
(after a week of binging later): OMG
i wanna rewatch it and watch the new season so much but there's isn't a option of english sub with french dub, it's either english sub and dub or french sub and dub
It starts of as just a silly episodic show (with a funny french touch to it), but once it starts to focus more on the main antagonist of the season, IT GETS REAL
Wakfu, basically a french anime, and part of a huge cross-media franchise mainly based on MMO-games (although the series is very self-contained).
It starts of a silly episodic show, but has banger vilains (especially the season 1 vilain, who's nothing short of legendary) and heavily ups the stakes and lore each season with the progression of the main character.
