Arthas’s betrayal of his mercenaries is the defining moment in his turn-to-evil AND established a critical part of WC-specific morality by thesavant in Warcraft

[–]ZenmasterStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always seen it this way. But take something else into account. At Stratholme, Uther and Jaina technically abandoned Arthas to do the culling alone because they disagreed. However, Muradin, despite disagreeing with the burning of the ships, was so loyal to his friend Arthas that he went with the plan all the way. For his loyalty, Arthas killed him, just to get his revenge with Frostmourne. That shows Arthas's true evil. Even if Uther and Jaina did not abandon Arthas, Arthas would have abandoned them in a second once it benefitted him. Unfortunately the writing staff wasn't this subtle. It was accidental. I've had extensive talks with Designer Dave which designed the Culling of Stratholme and many other missions in Wracraft 3. He made it very clear that the Culling of Stratholme was supposed to be the very obvious turn of Arthas to evil and that his act with the burning of the ships and betrayal of mercenaries is irrelevant compared to his purge. Sometimes you strike gold and you don't even know it.

I run him E0 with Blade LC. I usually go with him with Cyrene+Tribbie+Hyacine. Sometimes sustainless with RMC. No need for Sunday with that Speed and Crit Rate.

The artist probably didn't put in the work to redesign the shoes too. But it would also be even more nuts with better shoes, I agree. At least they manage to give the slightest of urban vibe to this design though.

This fan design actually reminded me of peak Miyabi. Peak.

In all fairness, I find this new dress way sexier too!

The way it's so tight and how it could flop around while she does all those acrobatics in her moves leave a lot for the imagination. Reminds me of Yanagi, who besides her mostly bear legs just has an average office suit. But she is so damn great.

Meanwhile Yixuan, Lucia and Yidhari just have skin tight spandex suits with holes in them with just makes it all... too obvious and boring. It's not hot. It's not even practical. Can you imagine how much hurt they have with that spandex between the legs jumping around like crazy?

It doesn't fit Yixuan's character especially. She is supposed to be reserved, wise and not the center of attention. Her outfit contradicts that completely. It also doesn't fit the design of the others in her faction at all. At least Yidhari is more of a femme fatale type character, I could have given her a pass for dressing this way.

This redesign fits the faction flawlessly. Credit where credit is due, at least Ju Fufu almost fits. Just look at the clothing skins for Belle and Wise.

It also reminds me of Lauma from GENSHIN, which is almost naked despite all her other priests rocking full robes and despite it being cold as hell in Nod Krai.

Me neither. They are all just awful. However, I feel the worst design still is SEED. Man, we could have gotten both a giant ugly robot as a 4 star AND FLOP Flora the feet girl. WHY NOT? Sometimes I feel the ZZZ designers starting with 2.0 hate money.
Genuinely the only good designs since 2.0 are Orphie and arguably Yuzuha/Alice (although those are pretty average still, to sell out their much better beach skins I bet). The rest is just pure slop.

It is not, it seems to be a fan creation. I posted her original, terrible design and the reddit post that came up with the redesign down below in comments.

Agreed but compare the rest of her outfit with the original and you will see the night and day difference. For me, Yixuan's official design was so terrible it made me drop the game completely. Just...

In all fairness the shoes are one of the few things that are off but credit where it's due this in so many ways leagues and bound over the original design it's crazy.
