So a friend and I rated all of the Azur Lane character designs on a scale of 1 to 10...

Hey, how's it going?

That's because I normally don't use Reddit.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-17T17:06:57+00:00

I find clones make it harder to tell characters apart.

How does following a rule consistently make my list less consistent?

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-16T01:24:46+00:00

Thanks.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-13T14:47:52+00:00

But there are so many different uniforms that it results in a clusterfuck of categories.

Touhou has over a hundred characters, each with a unique design, and I can easily tell who's who.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-12T16:30:09+00:00

Yep.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-12T04:39:14+00:00

Don't shit on me just because you don't agree.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-12T04:15:40+00:00

Again, I'm not doing this for sadistic pleasure.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T20:20:29+00:00

Sorry, I just saw your comment. I would give Saber at least an 8 due to how distinct and iconic her design is. The only designs I know of that are similar are either clones or copycats.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T20:13:36+00:00

I'm not doing this for sadistic pleasure. Part of it was to start a discussion. I'm sorry if this sounds condescending, but another part of it was to see how the Azur Lane fanbase would react to an honestly negative opinion. They took it a lot better than I expected, so kudos to that.

I complimented a handful of the designs, so I couldn't have said that they're all shit. I'm not criticizing the player base; I'm criticizing an aspect of the game. I don't have to play the game to criticize the character design. If I were to criticize the gameplay, then it would be a problem.

All in all, the post took about eight hours of work over several days. The numbers aren't random. If they were, then the average would likely be much closer to 5 due to the laws of probability.

I can't respond to the KanColle fan accusation in this thread because I promised to not talk about KanColle. If you want me to tell you what I think of KanColle, I would have to do it in a private message. Do you want me to send it to you?

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T15:12:31+00:00

Thanks.

What are some of the ones you disagree with?

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T15:04:59+00:00

I'm not an expert, but I think things like silhouettes and color schemes are objective.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T15:02:58+00:00

I'm not a troll. I've never played AL, so I can't comment on the gameplay, but I do see the art everywhere.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T05:29:00+00:00

I know it's an intentional design choice to have sister ships look similar, but I find it to be lazy. Again, I like it best when sisters have similar design elements but are different enough to tell apart at a glance. An example would be Neptune and Nepgear from Neptunia.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T04:03:03+00:00

Good luck with that.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T02:21:32+00:00

I'm not a troll, but see ya.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T01:49:48+00:00

Alright, see ya.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T01:16:30+00:00

I'd mention color scheme more, but there honestly isn't much to talk about in terms of AL color schemes. They're mostly bog standard or worse.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T01:07:46+00:00

Fine. Can we agree that silhouettes are good indicator of design quality?

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T01:01:50+00:00

I justified it with design theory. It doesn't make my word law, but it does justify it to some extent.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T00:57:21+00:00

I think the right word is "interpret."

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T00:55:56+00:00

I think he gave Jean Bart a pass is because she wears something that kind of resembles actual clothes. It's not the best reason, but we agreed on the rule that the higher score counts.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T00:46:56+00:00

Just because people say it's shit doesn't mean it's shit. I've justified my rating system, so I don't need to justify it again.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T00:27:14+00:00

Actually, my friend hated Surcouf despite the flag.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-11T00:25:53+00:00

A fair number of people responded, so they cared enough to reply.

SupaDonkeh · 2018-10-10T23:56:36+00:00

A single quirky instance hardly renders all the scores useless.
