I know i might be stretching it a bit but i hope mihoyo add regional costume/clothes for the Traveller. You know with Liyue it has some Chinese elements on the clothes but just enough to make it unique from the rest, same as well for Inazuma. And whether if it's Sumeru with some Incan, Mayan, or Egyptian style of clothing or Fontaine with its I guess Venetian or French style of clothes to add to Traveller's style. I think that'd be really cool

Rosaria's alternate skin reminds me of those battle/warrior nuns from 40k warhammer which is badass. Her OG outfit was more of a nun cosplay stripper from the angels tavern than a rebellious assassin nun. I agree that jeans alt skin makes her look more dignified, prestige, strong and visually represented more as the acting grandmaster. They couldve done better for mona's alt skin and never liked her OG costume. She's portrayed as an astrologer from fontaine that is broke but simplistic. I dont really see it from her OG costume.

Yes, I am not a big fan of her original outfit since it make her look more like a pole dancer than a assassin creed character.

I prefer the new one as well since it's far more modest yet still outlandish and unique in a good way. My biggest issue with the original design is definitely the fishnets which personally makes her look like a stripper and that made me extremely reluctant to build/use her despite having her at C6.

I’m hoping Yanfei gets a good one bc right now she doesn’t really look like a number one lawyer in Liyue. Like the scales are good at portraying that but they’re only an item she plays with not her outfit. And when we get to Beidou and Ninguang and Chongyun we can immediately see a theme or air of importance from these characters while Yanfei is just fire=red

[@dantalionite]

To be fair, chongyun blue/white=ice, and ningguang gold=earth

[@mwcshk113]

And seeing as she's presumably one of the well-renowned individuals in Liyue (meaning rich-rich) her outfit doesn't really speak her role. Plus they could've made her dragon scales more intentional than just having them placed on her sides and hands. Out of all the female characters in-game, she's the one with the least amount of clothing on her - it just looks like scraps of fabric tied around and onto her.

[@kurodo9926]

Well. Even though she doesn't look like a lawyer her design shines on too many things to throw it out to use a more traditional design. From her silhouette being the CLEANEST to the ideal color pallete of complimentary red colors with brave jade pieces, I'd say rn she's one of the best designs of 4 stars. Whilst I can't disagree that lawyer wouldn't go out like that, I can say that it's like arguing that sucrose would be wearing the biggest hoodie bc she is a bit shy.

Her traveling talent is being able to spot Liyue specialty items which means that she is active and outgoing even outside of Liyue Harbour? She also feels like a jester.

On future outfits discussion, considering the issues that certain government has, the ones that has the most potencial to get one are: Fishl, Lisa, Yanfei and Yoimiya. On the same note but more of a "maybe" are Ganyu, Xiao and Kaeya. Outside of that issue maybe the following: - Noelle: I still remember that KFC artwork, she looked gorgeous. A more maid looking outfit would be nice. - Diluc: He is... plain. Yes that is his character personality but man he is REALLY is plain, give the man a bit more personality. Or that KFC outfit, he looked pretty good there. - Venti, Zhongli, Raiden, AKA all archons: Their archon suits. Everyone want them to have those and they should REALLY do. - Xinyan: she needs a bit of love but personally a loose hair version would look way better. - Traveler: I know they said they wont do it because plot but... CMON! Any traveler would use the clothes of the places they visit. - Tartaglia and future Fatui characters: On their official Fatui uniforms. If Jean has one, they should also. - Sayu, Klee, Qiqi and Diona: They could be capitalizing on their cuteness or comic relieve further more. Sayu bulky payamas, Klee a dodoko suit, Qiqi herb collecting and Diona bartender. - Hu Tao and Kokomi: Casual outfit. Im really curious what would they wear when they are off the clock.

Regarding on entertainment mediums like games, Venti became the prime example in Genshin because of him having a feminine look. While you're right that they seek out characters that are superficially problematic, the question is on what context? Because I honestly believe Venti became the subject matter simply because he doesn't look _man_ enough (aka a femboy), not because he's actually gay (which he isn't). As I said before, visually and canonically Kaeya don't have any of your mentioned _problems._ His appearance, while being exotic, doesn't warrant changes because of those things you're speculating of. And while you're saying that "CCP goes harder on people who looks like gigolo/playboy", that's just being you. I bet you can't provide any article regarding of government crackdown of any individual or forms of medium that portrays extreme stylishness or by being flashy.

Of course adding more things will make it more interesting, but there's a fine line between intricacy and a jumbled mess and while new Mona's design does provide nice new details (the hat underside being my personal favourite), I really do not like what they've done with the midriff. Not in comparison to the old one, rather on its own, it is far too busy. It's _overdesigned._ It's not a portrait that lets you draw the face with plenty of detail and then fade out the rest for the brain to fill in the gaps, it's a whole design of a character where every part matters, and if you stuff so much detail into the torso, which has no real reason to be the main focus of the design, it is distracting and all the small segmentation done by the golden accents, with the addition of the new thigh highs' hem, does not help in the slightest. I'm judging it based on how well it performs as a design, not on how much I like it, I don't have a preference for either of her outfits.

The interesting thing about the censorship is, that I personally feel like it actually opens up design space in a lot of ways for the designers of Genshin. While yeah, we probably won‘t see new characters with the sexiest designs ever, the sexiness can also be a hindering factor in a lot of designs, because sexiness sells and of course they want to sell their characters as well as they can. The characters are designed to be sexy and the character being sexy and attractive is probably one of the main goals a design has to achieve to become official. This limits design space big time, but most of the community don‘t seem to understand this. It‘s not like all of the designs we currently have are the perfect representation of the characters, it‘s more like the designs being specifically made for the target audience. It‘s really interesting how character designs might actually become better and more detailed through the whole censorship.

[@acegardianarocrat]

I'm keeping all of these new outfits on my characters now. I especially loved Jean, Mona, and Ambers outfit change, as well as colour pallete change. Rosaria's I dont particularly care about tho

[@hoyitsmiguel]

Fun facts about the re-designs from their newly added description stories: Jean's outfit was discovered when her and Barbara were cleaning, only to realize it was her mother's outfit when she was a Knight - Amber's was made not just to be more formal, but also to be more Wolfhook proof - Mona's changing clothes were for her fitting into her role as the Traveler's(?) new Astrology master - Rosaria's was given to her on her birthday, with a note attached by the sisters along the lines of "try to be a normal sister for once okay?"

[@KoffinKat]

I don't believe the alternate outfits were made beucase of censorship. Why? Because Lisa, easily the most sexualized character, remained untouched. Also, none of these four characters had an outfit that was too revealing to begin with. There must have been some other reason for the redesigns. But whatever that reason was, I'm not complaining - I do like having more cosmetic options!

[@dimenzhion]

I once read the rosaria's redesign feels like something out of bayonetta and I can confirm that. That is one the the ascpets I personally love about this new design for her, besides of how I can finally see rosaria as a church member rather than a random cosplayer. A very clean job imo.

As much as I personally love the new designs (and how they get rid of some character design pet peeves of mine) I really hate the reason why they were done in the first place. Genshin is such an amazing game and you can tell that Mihoyo wants to do so much, but is restricted by their garbage government. However, I do appreciate that the artists did their best to add more to the new designs rather than just filling in "problematic" areas. Though I really don't know why Amber was changed. The others I can see the reasoning behind it, but Amber's is literally just a pallet swap. Ah well, maybe they just took the chance to give her a bit more of a fancy look rather than any censorship demand.

[@yukishiro3287]

It's not just color swap. I have taken a bird-like view and saw what the problem was. The older outfit shows her breast while the new one covers that part completely

[@Eurasian_]

Additionally, this is far from the government's work. We never actually see what the CCP censors, and rather this is the work of a radical "feminist" group. And as said in the video, despite the censorship, I have faith that the designers' creativity isn't hindered by it.

[@garreonlefay6703]

With Mona I like the new design for 1 particular reason. The fact that she is always flat out broke. It made no sense for her to go traipsing throughout the country in a leotard and stockings with gold metal accents. They will get ripped at the first opportunity, making her look like a beggar. So yeah, I always thought that her empty wallet was more a product of her having to buy her outfits in bulk.

[@GoodwillWright]

Maybe because she is broke, spandex is a fabric that can take a lot more beating and repeated harsh washings unlike something more sensitive like cotton. Especially when you consider she literally swims through water. Anyone who has done survival swimming for an hour and a half would much rather wear a bathing suit than casual attire.

[@StickmanCorp]

Got very mixed feelings about Jean's new skin. I was hyped for these kind of changes for her, and I love the shape of the new clothes, but I think the new colour palette really pales in comparison to the old one. The Navy blue of the old skin is what made her look official to me; the new greenish blue just feel awkward to me. I also find it it doesn't contrast as much with the teal jewellery and the red accents, red which I'm really sad was toned down that much. Then there's the chest piece. That huge black spot stands out so much, it doesn't feel natural. I'd rather it was white with black lapels. The last one is a nitpick and can't quite explain it, but something about her arms make me sad. Maybe it's because of the pure black fabric that drowns the details of the geometry, maybe it's because the armour now has two separate colours for the arm and hand...

[@abcdef2072]

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed the design breakdowns. Lots of things and details I hadn’t seen before! As concerned as I am about CCP censorship (and I am very, very concerned) as much does it anger me when people call female characters getting remotely normal clothing “censorship”. Full disclaimer: I am *incredibly worried* about actual censorship coming to Genshin Impact. I’m worried how these party politics will censor what we can say (it is already not possible to type out “Taiwan” or “Hong Kong” in the chat) and influence the story telling and character writing to subtly or not so subtly spout elements of the CCP’s propaganda and regressive world view. But *the current redesigns are literally only making the female character’s clothes more “everyday”-like* just like the vast majority of male characters in this game are “""covered up”"" to degrees that are completely normal for men in everyday life. What happened here is a *very ironic case of “a broken clock is right twice a day”* on both parties’ sides. The CCP’s ideals are evidently incredibly regressive and conservative. But Mihoyo’s hypersexualised character designs are not their forward-thinking opposite, it’s the hyper-objectified equivalent. They are two sides of the same coin. The one propagates hyper-modesty and “traditional” values with women’s sexuality being seen as “private property” (husband), the other is “modern” objectification that postulates women’s sexuality belong to the public. They are publicly “shared”, e.g., by fans “bonding” over their favourite "waifu” that they collect based on how much their sexualized designs appeal to them. When Mihoyo redesigned the characters, they did not go full “traditional conservative modesty” because that would uproot the basis of their entire game but could not stay with their current level of sexualisation either. Ironically this led to designs that are *neither modest nor as sexualised* as before. Esp. Jean and Amber look relatively normal now. (Although I wish they had given Jean a normal blouse. The shoulder-less sleeve idea looks as if they were obsessively trying to keep at least some level of fan-service even though the design just doesn’t come together. A normal blouse would have looked a lot better.) And even with the redesigns Rosaria and Mona are still not dressed as everyday-ish as most male characters. Mona is still unequivocally on the sexual(ised) side. It’s not like they are suddenly wearing Sunday church dresses or potato bags. Whenever someone points out that the female character designs in Genshin are incredibly hypersexualised (whereas the male characters are sexy because of their coolness, their attitude, or their strength etc.) people think they are making a compelling counter-argument by replying “well duh it’s a sexy waifu collection game after all” but it’s not the well-thought-out refutation they think it is. Rather, it’s a confession of failure. It says a lot about someone if their "waifu" primarily appeals to them because of ridiculously sexualised outfits and high heels, double D cups with trampoline-esque jiggle physics, ditzy run animations and butt shots whenever they fly. And if you were to take these things away - if they looked like normal people as the male characters do and not like sexy dolls - they’d lose interest in them. This is especially frustrating with characters that are otherwise really strong and have a lot of authority. It’s as if the more powerful a female character is, the more she needs to be sexualised as a means to counteract this power. To make her palatable and most importantly: non-threatening. Beidou has canonically slain one of the most dangerous sea dragons all by herself. She runs a fleet of pirate ships and is a very unladylike, brash (but kind-hearted) woman, who loves to fight a good fight and drink a good drink (and drinks very sloppily at that - see her idle animation). She also runs around in a leotard with huge jiggly breasts and high-heels. Nothing of her outfit even remotely conveys her actual, canonical character. As if the player base couldn’t be head over heels for Beidou if she actually looked like she is described. If she was a male character, she’d probably wear something like Kaeya. How is that not also attractive on a woman. I’d probably fall in love three times at once if she looked like that. Raiden Shogun is a highly-esteemed warrior and an archon so powerful and scarily threatening she can engulf a whole island in a thunderstorm. She also has the most ridiculous cleavage (her jiggle physics kill me) from which she draws a sword in a close-up cutscene during each burst. Shenhe is a “damsel of devastation” who constantly threatens to beat people up that annoy her and carries so much bloodlust in her soul it has to be bound with adepti magic. She also wears a skintight suit with extra shiny a** cheeks. Etc. The less smooth a female character’s personality is in this game, the more sugary sweetness or spicy hotness the devs poor over her to “balance it out”, anticipating that otherwise the average waifu collector couldn’t stand them for being “too much”, whereas were they male characters they’d be the epitome of coolness.

[@Coconattsuu]

It's still censorship, no matter how you see it. Even if some of them fit the characters more (subjective)

[@Nyanyashadow]

You seem to be implying that showing any amount of skin or form-fitting clothing is inherently sexual, in terms of outfit design most of them look entirely normal to me, and I'm saying this as a woman myself. It hardly comes across as hypersexualized compared to many other anime-styled games. I mean, showing shoulders being fanservice? Maybe, but have you seen how incredibly common shoulderless outfits are in real life? What is so strange about that? Also, how does sexuality make a character non-threatening? Can't a woman who is confident in her own attractiveness still be threatening and powerful? Why does one's position in power determine how much skin they should be showing? I agree that saying the game is a "sexy waifu collection game" is a stupid argument, as it also ignores that it has a mixed gender cast that would appeal to those who like men as well, but this does not mean that the new designs are objectively better. It still is a result of a regressive conservative viewpoint on what is acceptable for women's appearances. And I'm biased towards her, but Beidou looks beautiful as she is. I love her personality and I believe her outfit is perfectly suitable for a fictional pirate, but if she wore an outfit like Kaeya's, yea that would still be attractive- but she'd also still show plenty of cleavage, and I can't help but wonder if that would still be seen as fanservice. The high heels is about the only thing I can agree on that might be silly about her design, cause those are hard to run in! Heck I can barely walk in those, I don't know how other people manage it, but that's just me lol. (To balance out that bit of unrealisticness, might I suggest the game also be open to giving male characters heels?) Also I hope this reply didn't come across as overly combative, it is just that although I can see where your viewpoint is coming from (trust me, I used to feel the same way before realizing I had a lot of unnecessary self-hatred about sexuality in general) I feel it can do more harm than good in some cases. And ultimately, designers should be free to make whatever kind of game they want, if they want to have attractive characters they should be able to do that, I just usually advocate for having that attractiveness being distributed over all genders in the cast to make it fair. It should not be seen as shameful. You aren't required to agree, but I felt like giving my thoughts. I wish you a good day.

[@ifeeldead463]

Great points you made there! Also, ye, I agree, I barely noticed Amber's redesign. My sister told me Amber got a redesign and I had to take a closer look to notice. Honestly, Rosaria and Jean are tied in my fave redesins cuz Jean just looks so formal yet practical, like she could work at the office but run out without a costume change i shes needed in the field. Rosaria actually looks like a nun and I love the skin description that her fellow sisters actually made her outfit. Like ye, I get that rosaria is supposed to be rebellious and doesnt take her job too seriously but at the end of the day, she's still a nun and well, if Barbara has to come after her whenever she misses her duties, you cant tell me the others dont run after her to dress in a more proper uniform, which actually made me think that thy probably made the outfit as a compromise. Also, Rosaria goes to dragonspine, I honestly felt bad when I first ran into her in her og outfit at a snowy environment. Also, My sister and I came up with our own ideas on who the next redesigns might be: Kaeya (suggested by me) - no reason, I just feel bad for whoever has to draw Kaeya cuz imo he just look so cluttered and busy. Maybe give him that white formalwear he had in the comics? Yanfei (suggested by my sister) - as a law sudent, when my sister first saw Yanfei, ye, she did adore her but at the same time, as stated in the video, Yanfei doesnt look like a lawyer. You might say that things work different in a fantasy setting like Liyue but if you look at authority figures like Ningguang and Keqing, they look really formal, like you know you have to take them seriously. Yes, Keqing is more casual than Ningguang but then again, if I remember correctly, she poses as a worker sometimes(?). Even then, Keqing is still dressed pretty formally. Also, law school teaches lawyers how to present themselves at court and they're really strict abt presentation. Im pretty sure if a lawyer comes into court dressed like Yanfei, they'll be in huge trouble. Ei (suggested by sis) - listen, Venti and Zhongli have good reasons in their outfits cuz they're disguised as humans. Ei isnt in disguise so why is it that she looks so simple? Like, even Zhongli in his casualwear is still able to make fans think "yo, what if this is the geo archon?". Yes, the upcoming Boss Raiden is coming up and she does look like an archon but come on, man, maybe playable Ei could use a glow up too Traveller (suggested by both of us) - We just think regional costumes for traveller makes sense. Plus, we have to be in disguise for both Liyue(suspect for Rex Lapis' death) and Inazuma(vision holder + resistance member) anyway, so it makes sense plotwise.

Yeah no I'm 100% with you. I could maybe see the 'swimsuit' aspect because she 'swims' through the ground with her sprint, but that's a weak argument. If you took the hat off of Mona's old outfit and replaced it with bunny ears, it would LITERALLY be a Playboy Bunny costume (corset-esque bodysuit with an EXTREMELY high cut on the hips, tights/hose, heels, even the neckline is similar). Censorship is bad, without question, but being completely honest there is no part of me that will miss Mona's old design and if there will never be another character running around in a swimsuit I won't be mad. I want the costumes to inform me of a character's personality, place in the world, theme, etc. Not just to be there as obvious fanservice material and nothing else.

It took me a while to warm up to her original design (I thought it was a bit too edgy/tacky at first) but now I can appreciate it and the new outfit for highlighting different aspects of her character. Mona’s situation is weird because both designs succeed in highlighting certain aspects while failing in others. Both highlight her ostentatious and prideful personality while failing to accentuate her poverty in any way. On the one hand, that’s kinda the point, but I would’ve liked to see patches or something on the outfit to communicate this. Overall, neither design is worse than the other. Jean’s is easily the best. You did a great job showing the differences. I love how the new design gives her even more presence. It’s a real slam dunk. Anyway, the videos where you discuss character design and inspiration are my favorite. You have a clear passion for it P.S.

Kujo Sara was way better at conveying what she is without losing the "aesthetic". Jean still looks beautiful, but is now way more martial. Mona's is also a nice idea, I never associated her leotard with astrology. A dancer or a gymnast would have fit better in my opinion. Not very convinced by Rosaria, since she was a character more tailor-made to be sexy. At least it feels like something she'd have in her closet and maybe enjoy in a colder climate. Amber pretty much stayed the same. I'm sad that the reason they wanted to change these outfits was not their own volition, but rather censorship from above, but I commend them for trying their best to stick to the characters they made and work with what they're given.

I've been in absolute love over Jean's alt clothing, idk why but the darker color scheme just looks so nice. She looks more proper, more like a high end Favonius Knight with the collar and button up! Plus Mona's outfit having more blue hues is a more undertone reminder that she is a hydro user instead of electro, its super nice.
