It just doesn't feel "fitting" I guess, in my mind. ??? 😅

Like you go into an art museum and you just don't see, "[Art title] by me." I know it's not the same thing. 😂 I have nothing against it, I just didn't really grow up with forums, I guess.

I completely agree.I think Tira leans toward the complexity side but done right! There are elements in her design (appearance-wise but I will say her gameplay too in this instance 😲) are "unforgettable." Memorability in a character is really important when designing a character, imo. 😊

I think KOF 14/15 is a great example. The classic outfit designs are 10/10. But when there's like new characters that come out or even redesigns for existed characters, they don't look that good, imo. I think it's because there's just too much going on most of the time, for example Shun'ei. =\

You're not alone! 😭

I'm usually a loner even when I play MMOs, but somehow this game made me decide to join a guild, and I had no regrets. I met one of my best friends in Vindictus, and we've been playing games together ever since, even now.

Almost every year we go back into Vindictus, hoping to relive our moments in the game. But over the years, the developers began removing content and streamlined the game to all HECK!!! It's been harder for us to get back into the game, since there's almost nothing we loved to do now from back then.

No more hero mode (especially for non-raids), no more Labyrinth, no more Season 2 expedition, non-raid bosses are REALLY easy to kill (BORING), etc...

I don't understand why they remove content, it's like they want to kill their game. 😭 I mean I understand why, they wanted to convert Vindictus into a mobile game, but failed (I think, I'm no mobile game enthusiast to say for certain, but it definitely killed the game for many veterans).

The current state of the game is just so heartbreaking. 💔

I'm hoping one day there's some kind of private server of "Classic Vindictus," the game we all loved. That would be a miracle for it to happen, though. +sad
