[@mop3019]

The reason ayaka got the Fontaine outfit is because she always wished to be able to travel outside of inazuma and experience their culture Also I believe it's based on the era of Japan when it recently got unlocked to the rest of the world people started wearing more western clothes (sorry if my explanation sucked)

[@riotkitty]

Nah it doesn’t, that’s basically what it was, which created some very unique Western fused with Japanese fashion back in the Meiji period.

[@joshbrosh6626]

Yeah basicly like ingame real japan was closed off to the world for a time period in the history But then it opened and started adopting western culture Which in the game also makes sense since inazuma is now open to outsiders And ayato is the first character to have adopted outside inazuma fashion since his suit resembles liyue fashion

[@Sacration]

Exactly

[@ArnoldFrost]

It's fitting too since Ayato's default outfit is a suit-like kimono; which Ayaka complements

[@yokaiou5848]

True, the Japanese used a lot of French advisors. Remember Last Samurai? He was French not American.

[@yosugami6275]

During the Bakumatsu period of japan (1850's) was when Japan started to become more open to western influences mainly because they realized they were really behind in technology. However there was plenty of backlash against the west so they had a civil war about it which led to the Shogun (The Military leader) losing power and being dethroned by the Emperor (Wealthy Ruling class) which was pro west at the time while the shogun was traditional and wanted to retain a samurai police class called the Shinsengumi. The Shogunate was seen as popular with the people mainly because the Tokugawa Shogunate brought peace and prosperity after a century prior of war called the Sengoku Jidai. However the shogunate was starting to hold progress back due to how traditional they were so they eventually fizzled out. This was around the 1850's and it involved many western nations such as the French, Americans and British all vying for a foothold to trade with Asia and they saw Japan as the first step to entering Asia's theater which in the end America ended up controlling after the events of WW2. The fall of the Shogunate in my eyes was a sad but necessary step for Japan to modernize because if it was not for the Tokugawa Shogunate Japan would not have been united as a single country at the time and that would have lead to worse results for Japan in the long term but if the Shogunate was allowed to stay in power Japan would not advance technologically speaking either. This is why there is still a strong xenophobic culture in japan to this day that is only now fizzling out as the new generations have only experienced a modernized world. The Bakumatsu period was a very interesting period to experience because you would see lines of people with swords charging towards lines of people with guns. It was basically one of the last old ways humans fought wars, now clashing with a modern way humans now fought wars. In the present day, The French's main influence for Asia is mainly cuisine and fashion. Particularly in japan they focus on a lot of french baked goods such as strawberry shortcakes, macarons, and various breadmaking. Specifically Japan is obsessed with re-interpretting french baking by making their recipes smaller and cuter on the presentation side of things and the bread way more soft and fluffier. Also lolita was a pretty big fashion style in the early to late 2000's that was heavily inspired by french dresses. My personal opinion on ayaka's new skin is I don't like it. I rolled on Ayaka to play as a OnnaBushi (Samurai girl) so spending 15 bucks to remove the original reason why I wanted her would be a loss for me. It's funny because even to this day just me liking Ayaka's original outfit would be seen as me liking the traditional Japan and me rejecting the new skin is me rejecting the modern Japan. So in a way I am presently expressing exactly what has happened in the history of Japan, however I am glad to not have lived in such a violent past. So that shows the progress of how humans in general grow less violent as we progress in the never ending tapestry of human history. However there is always progress to be done, even today.

[@10tailedbijuu]

i wouldn't say the west had less violence, just better technology for killing each other and hunting.

[@yosugami6275]

@@10tailedbijuu Well thats why Japan had a civil war because the shogun didn't want to embrace the west as much but the emperor knew it was the only option otherwise the west would have completely taken over. So Japan was forced to modernize and work with the west instead of fighting a losing war against the west. And Ironically Japan had embraced tech ever since and have become one of the most advanced technologically developed countries to this day. Especially their transportation infrastructure which allowed it all to happen. Bullet trains. The west today is just now realizing that Bullet trains is the best form of transportation instead of cars but our infastructure currently is still not designed for trains so we can't develop megalopolises as easily. California started building bullet train system for ten years and its still under construction and wont be finished for a few more decades.

The French had lots of connections to Japan. The first military advisors for the Imperial Army were French. They were among the first known weaboos. For example French artists like Gauguin and Degas were fans of Japanese woodcut art. Even today "prefecture" is based on a French word. And French cuisine is still a big thing in Japan.

I'm pretty sure France is the biggest consumer of weeb shit (manga, anime etc.) outside of Japan. Even beating out China and the US (atleast before the recent hits like MHA, Demon Slayer or AoT).
