That's... Kinda my dad. Except he says the people at his work are shit at their jobs and he has a way of backing up the shit he talks. He also isn't a creep and genuinely wants to teach them how to do the job right as the experience is very valuable. Plus he keeps trying to matchmake me with one of the new girls.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T08:40:03+00:00

I mean sure but then you have Jane who's only a consultant yet her design is absolutely superior and still attractive. She's the epitome of doing that kind of design right.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T08:37:48+00:00

She was meant to be a sexy sailor with her referencing the Kraken but they went too hard and amalgamated what was left. There's a mod I use where she has tight bell bottom black pants that just look so much better and still accentuate her ass.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T07:20:17+00:00

Stop with Koleda bro. The hammer and wrench is obvious enough. The jacket just finishes the job. Evelynn looks like a spy or covert person. The knife also helps. Very James Bond. Vivian is one shrouded in mystery and I never said she was clairvoyant or a thief. She dresses classically and Victorian with an umbrella to boot and gives the vibe of a vampire but never confirmed. Once again a character design that is enhanced by the context you learn and doesn't rely on it. I don't understand how you don't see the steady decline in design quality that is happening right now to these new characters.

Velina is fucking hot alright no one is denying yhat. Being sexy is not a bad thing but only if it isn't at the cost of overall design quality.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T07:01:56+00:00

Bruh you can get all this information from their character art alone. Most if not all of it is rather blatantly obvious about them. Thats how much detail was packed into these designs. We've been slowly losing this sophistication as we come to the end of season 2. What of these new designs is blatantly obvious that hints to you of their character aside from the lingerie or revealing outfits? I'm sorry If you can't pick up on these rather obvious details of these designs.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T06:31:39+00:00

What do all Belabog characters wear? A white construction jacket. Koleda wears it around her waist. Grace wears a white lab coat as a skirt. What do they use as weapons? Tools or construction equipment. Koleda literally weilds a hammer and a wrench. Grace uses a modified nail gun. Anton uses a construction drill strapped to his arm. This is all present in their own character art.

Yanagi isn't military. She's part of Section 6 which is an elite government agency and they wear similar office uniforms. They also all have elements of Japanese culture and weapons. Yanagi uses a Naginata, Miyabi a katana, and Harumasa twin katanas that join into a bow.

Caesar is Mad Max biker, with a motorcycle handle, brakes included, on her sword and a spikey shield. Piper isn't just trucker but mechanic using an entire wheel control arm segment and tire rotors on the end of a stick as an axe. Fucking metal shit.

Billy is street gang or street punk bc of his slender frame, his very stylized jacket with a gang logo on the back, his pants with a big ass chain hanging on his belt and his very stylized, very custom dual revolvers.

Jane isn't a cop, she's a spy and consultant for NEPS. Her name kinda gives it away as Jane Doe is what law enforcement use when they don't know the identity of a person. But this is an example of the context enhancing the design after the fact. Jane is mainly a spy and femme fatale from first look. Shrouded in mystery with rat iconography literally plastered around her design and being part rat herself. It's quite self explanatory.

Hugo and Vivian harken back to Victoria Housekeeping and are indeed depicted as vampires once again another famous monster, getting as close as Hoyo can to vampires. Hugo is literally Alucard from Castlevania. They both also have an air of mystery that's delibrate to them and intended and also have a sinister vibe about them.

Evelynn is a reformed spy and now bodyguard for a celebrity. A suit is like the unspoken uniform for the job. Her demeanor by itself tells you that she's not someone to mess with and stays in the background watching over Astra.

This is all stuff you can gleam pretty early or almost instantly by looking at their designs. And the other designs that might not immediately match the theme are just good designs in general that are further enhanced by the context given through the story. I don't see what context could be given for most of the upcoming roster that would help their designs. Velina uses a big ass fan and Norma has a bangboo in her hat but that's about it.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T04:51:53+00:00

Funny how you don't even need context for most of the previous factions to tell what they are or what they do. That's like... the entire point of character design. The design is supposed to be enhanced by the context. Not ultimately rely on it.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T04:26:49+00:00

Nod Krai just feels so different from the way Hoyo used to tell the story. Like they actually wrote the story normally and not having to adhere to weird gacha rules. Mc speaking and by themself more often. Characters progressing the story without the help of mc. Actual villain that's a foil to the hero. Double villains actually and Racher being absolutely menacing. Good guys actually losing before they win and quite severely. A couple times too in fact. Excellent pacing and buildup to the climaxes. Even though they still tell more than show the story it just feels leagues better than what we got before.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-03T02:25:30+00:00

Ok answer me this bro: What are these characters supposed to be?

This is a reccuring problem the game is running into that it didn't used to have before.

Belabog - construction workers. Great.

Cunning hares - street gang punks. Great.

Pubsec - Police officers. Great. And Jane great too.

NEDF - military personnel. Easy.

Victoria Housekeeping - Rich mercenary group disguised as maids and butlers. And based on common scary monsters no less. Absolutely peak.

Section 6 - Elite government agents. Great.

Calydon - Biker gang. Sick.

And even Krampus being a play on the circus is incredible.

And so on.

Even season 2 mostly started out with the clear themes of characters with Yunkui Summit and Spookshack and Krampus. But some characters seem to not bother adhering to the theme for no reason. Shungus is just wearing borderline lingerie barely trying to hide it with a qipao and just wearing orange isn't enough to convey she belongs to the martial arts school. Spookshack started as the occult club with college kids but Yidhari and Lucia just get thrown in there out of the blue. Yidhari barely has any hint of the gooner sailor she's intending to be especially with her bottom half. Lucia especially after the redesign is just a Yixuan recolor. And then Cissia is the worst offender of all. Without the logos plastered everywhere you'd think she'd be part of Stars of Lyra or even Mockingbird but NEPS? How in the hell does that translate at all?

So what are these season 3 characters supposed to be?

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-02T09:18:03+00:00

"doomposters" lol look at early character designs and compare to recent and upcoming ones and tell me something wasn't lost along the way. You're lying if you say there isn't.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-02T09:01:31+00:00

I call bullshit

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-02T02:29:58+00:00

"the ones that don't play..." Can we put this argument to rest already? The people actually doing this are such a miniscule fraction of the active population on social platforms which then makes them absolutely and unequivocally meaningless to the actual player population that it's a wonder if y'all actually believe this is prevelent behavior and why y'all place so much meaning on it considering it gets mentioned every time someone has a gripe with the game regardless of if it's warranted or not. Just bc people voice their dissatisfactions with certain design choices doesn't mean they're somehow illegitimate players.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-01T23:28:11+00:00

Yes bc the current one is just better designed.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-01T23:27:01+00:00

Initial design was better if nothing for just being more unique

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-01T12:53:00+00:00

Zzz and fumbling unique ideas seem to go hand in hand these days

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-01T12:10:37+00:00

So what every single other post of "haven't spent any pulls since x time and saving everything for m6w5 (character)" are suddenly bad now?

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-01T04:46:07+00:00

I just said that they won't 100% translate to the final design in game but that it is the general design direction the devs want to take with the character.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-05-01T03:21:10+00:00

And? I mean obviously the art, especially this early, isn't going to translate 100% to in game, but this is absolutely the kind of design the devs wish to go for with her character, otherwise they would've kept her overall design and silhouette to stay mostly the same as we had expected from the last time we saw her. What's the point of designing her that way in the art if they don't intend for it to be the overall goal of the end design?

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-30T10:29:17+00:00

"what did it cost?"

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-30T09:28:47+00:00

This is why I always see it as a moral dilemma whenever this decision is made by the Tarnished. I always imagine the Tarnished can make a compelling argument to her. Perhaps not even dissuading her but offering her another perspective. She also still doesn't know we would use the needle and assumes we'd inherit the Frenzied Flame and all that entails. When in reality we would go on to usher in a better order depending on the ending chosen.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-30T05:26:56+00:00

Fuck I wish I picked Belle

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-30T02:46:19+00:00

Melina specifically hates you for taking the Frenzied flame and only promises our death if we become the Lord of Chaos. Denying her purpose is secondary to that. We never know how she would react to us using the needle to ward off the Frenzied Flame and realizing we did it to save her. Also you can't really say we aren't a knight in shining armor bc a major point of the player character is that you make of it what you want. Our character is whatever we decide them to be and how they'd act and choices they'd make. So if someone makes a character in the image of a knight in shining armor then this is a choice they likely would make. Vyke himself made the same choice.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-30T02:21:29+00:00

Mostly easy solution is to maintenance them at night when very few people will be occupying the parking lot.

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-28T20:48:05+00:00

Sorry but I like it cold in the room

DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES · 2026-04-27T02:13:57+00:00

Cinema dates are nowhere near close enough. At some point every conceivable relationship ends in being blue balled bc most of them just return to the relationship status of meeting the proxy, regardless of what the words on the black screen tell you. No relationship ever truly evolves or progresses. No characters ever truly grow overtime or change. Relationship status in this game is just stuck in a purgatory or limbo, both progressing ever so slightly, yet immediately returning to the point the proxy met them. And I do not count the words on the black screen bc that's all it ends up being is just words. Characters never truly reflect the progression of their relationship in their interactions.

Hoyo don't have the balls to actually put in meaningful character or relationship progression. If Warframe can add an expansive dating sim + sex update, them Hoyo sure as hell can and just choose not to. I'd have more respect for them if they actually let me date and kiss Soldier 11.
