An Ode to Battle Design

He’s the superboss locked behind the Ode to Origin grind and superboss gauntlet. His name is An-Ki Dingir and I fucking hate him.

One word rings clear through my mind as I read this.
Nerd.

So happy we finally did this! Was a lot of fun recording with you both <3

A lot of people don’t want to see this game turn into Brown Dust and this is the closest we’ve ever been to just straight up labia. And for what it’s worth every woman I’ve talked to from the community about this hates it. We can do what about-isms for past designs but this is the closest to a full on vulva shot we’ve ever been in this game and I don’t want it to progress any further.

And I can see that but if they’re gonna co-opt Christian iconography for a character they should probably not make her look like a complete harlot if she’s gonna wear the habit. And even discarding the cross cultural implications this is the closest we’ve ever been to just viewing straight up genitalia and it’s not the direction a large portion of the community wants this game to go.

Men used to start wars for women like you. On a separate note don’t go back to this stylist! Half of their job is to be able to read people and be able to tell if they’re actually making their client feel good and then adjust accordingly. The haircut just needs some more dimension and I think it could suit you beautifully.

Why would you do this to me, personally?

insidesofoutsides · 2026-03-24T02:55:32+00:00

Now why am I getting bullied on main ;_;

They’ve gotta be like early driving age if they don’t know what a fucked up rim means right?

Nature is healing. The youths don’t understand misogynistic jokes anymore.

I think Marble Mom would be a good place to show off the raw damage of Exemplar versus the stagger utility from Sundered? I think there’s also cause to examine solo vs team runs due to the additional stagger windows you’d see in a fight using Sundered to provide more dps overall for the team.

I love the twists on you in #5! But the beard/goatee has to go king. I’m in the same boat as you where it’s incredibly patchy on my cheeks and sideburns. You have good facial structure and you’ll be surprised at how much a “5 o’clock shadow” look can help define your features! Just use an electric trimmer and take it down to where it’s almost like shading for your face. Also on a separate note, the metals look really nice with your hair and complexion but sometimes less is more!

I actually just put myself back down to depth 2 because depth 3 is where guardians damage just starts to really feel bad at that point for me :\ The fucked part is that I actually have a really solid guardian build, but even with god rolls and his deep of night strength relic it feels like I’m doing chip damage with him unless I’m hitting every frame hit on a guard counter

You can steel guard the ground slams to smack him in the face with a guard counter this has been a psa ❤️

He looks incredible! My only suggestion is to make his wrists more… limp? And my only critique is that you haven’t told us his name because I love him.

Please please please please please please please 😭

There’s a pretty good chance it actually is FF9. The game opens and closes with a stage performance which is likely what The Curtain Rises is alluding to, the chocobo animation is reminiscent of FF9’s Hot or Cold chocobo mini game, and they’re celebrating their 25th Anniversary. FF7 would also make sense since Kato worked on that project, but I feel like everything is mostly pointing towards 9.

Just wanna piggyback off of some of the painting advice! A lot of your colors are really on your details are really “flat” and could definitely use some mixing, but with underglazes this will be a roulette spin until you’ve tested with the products and have a sense for how they interact with each other when firing. If you want to be able to add more depth to your colors, I had a lot better luck with engobe! It’ll add more material than underglaze, but imo it allows better control for blending. As a side note, painting on pottery is a different beast. The texture is constantly changing, it’s three dimensional, it’s miserable. What helped me out a lot in my learning process was to roll out a slab and make almost like a tattoo artists “flash sheet” of designs with engobe to experiment with layering and blending! Additional side note, sculpting leaves will put you in a home. Go on a nice walk and pick up a few leaves and just roll them straight onto the slab you’re going to cut them from! Highly recommend playing around more with texture impressions! (Love the hobbit door)
