[@cl0k3]

Tbh with the whole culture thing, Arknights does that too. It's just that due to the relatively modern nature of the scenario, designs inherently can't be as cultural because the setting is modern. There isn't as much symbolism we can gleam from what we wear, because we're living in the times, Save for the more immediate symbolism provided by uniforms or lab wear or smth.

[@Dadan-dan]

That's not to say there isn't a kind of cultural thing "in-story", like, you can tell mostly who is Infected and who isn't depending of how much coverage their clothes give, or wether they deal with Originium a lot or not. It isn't a consistent thing, obviously, we do have stuff like a certain police officer walking around in a sleeveless shirt or a bodyguard in booty shorts, but that's more about their personalities... As for RL culture there everything having to do with Yan :D

[@lllllShjnllll]

Cultural doesnt have to be historical, since culture itself evolves alongside history. Arknights does have a lot of cutural references from all over the world in their outfit design. I can name a few like Rosa's skin Masterpiece referencing Elizabeth (the musical), Phantom and the whole IS2 referencing Phantom of the Opera/Masque of Red Death, Mizuki is a pacman reference, Istina's skin referencing a bunch of Agatha Christie novels and Russian culture (Sarafan dress,russian food on the table,..); Nightingales Elegy skin referencing Blood Meridian of Cormac McCarthy; Ethan referencing the steet art and antiwar/discrimination movement with the Berlin Wall. This is just naming some of the Western culture references, let's not even bother dive deeper into the Eastern side since that would be way too long. Saying Arknights design doesn't have much cultural reference just show that either you didn't play or just lack the knowledge to notice them.

[@cl0k3]

@@lllllShjnllll Nah I understand that there are loads of cultural references. Saga is a Sohei warrior monk, Lee is a carp dragon, and so on. Like does most of Arknights base designs have those cultural references? No because the animal motifs are more given focus, which is always conveyed well. I acknowledge the culture that is in AK, I did that in the comments section of the Hero hei video about this. But, The symbolism of modern clothing does inherently lie within utility imo, which can make designs a bit more mundane. Like, tf, not notice the darn culture? Its not like one can write like literary analysis on every op and that's okay. Having characters that are standalone in their execution, like Weedy, Thorns or Irene or whatever does allow for Arknights design to not just rely on "member this?" or even worse not giving a f about the culture, like ayato in genshin not being a reformer, despite the meiji era garb.

[@lllllShjnllll]

@@cl0k3 ​ @cL0k3 yeah even "cultural design" itself is already a problematic term because even modern clothing itself has history and culture impact that made it what it is today. So as long as the design are well thought out and the utility is reasonable I don't see the problem. If you wan to see "culture" in the design you can just do some research and educate yourself on fashion, even a simple button-up shirt has its own evolution over time. I was just pointing out that even Arknights got some deep cultural references in their outfits, so if they're complaining they're just not paying attention or lack education. And bringing Genshin of all things to compare to Arknights with culture references being the baseline is just plain stupid lmao.

[@flamefierce998]

@@Pixelgamer-Intiny404 Alright then. The main argument here is that one of the two Arknights and Genshin Impact is hypersexualizing their characters and their designs are uninspirational. The only fact you need is that: 1. Sexualization is a dumb word, what they're doing is bringing out a characters sexual appeal through clothing, this is not only done in games but also in real life. Why is this important? Because a lot of people miss it. If you take the same character and give them less sexually appealing clothes you would have a character that will get different reactions from the fans. 2. Through the video, we know that apparently Genshin is more rich in lore due to their choice of clothing. Genshin takes inspiration from our world's traditional clothing. They're targeting a specific demographic, through the clothing. I'm speaking specifically on clothing here not other features of the game. Arknight's clothing is more to show that these characters are living in a rough world. You don't get to pick and choose what clothing you want to wear, most of them are wearing their formal clothing. Skins does exist in Arknights and they "could" invalidate my argument. But, Ch'en's skin, the chinese dress. Ch'en isn't a full time fighter, she does a lot of paperwork. Her wearing this dress to go to a meeting isn't weird, Arknight's skins makes sense for their lore, Rhodes Island isn't a military organization, their purpose is to protect infected through politics but if that's not possible then they go to war, so any non-war related clothing shows their organization isn't just full on war. And this brings me back to where I started. Don't compare a post apocalyptic world. With a fantasy-esque world. This is what a fraction of the argument would look like, it's futile. Both world appeals to different demographic and arguing about to dissociative elements won't bring you any closer to solving anything

[@fraderiktan1505]

@@flamefierce998 I would like to also add a bit of stuff to the design often time the ones on arknight that get a bit sexialize are mostly on the swimsuit skin, but since your wearing a swimsuit so what do you expect Also also, to me genshin choice of colors and design show that their world are colorful and vibrant while arknight (looking at their og skin) look darker and fitting with the world but also note that both had a different way of design a clothing (genshin tend to be more showing the inspiration from, example being ayaka from. The design itself you can tell that she is based on the samurais during the sengoku period) while in arknight they can show you the detail but they prefer to kept it hidden instead of let such detail completely taking over a post apocalyptic/modern design Also this is just my opinion

It's not necessarily that. Genshin can have fantastical design, but unlike Ark Knight, genshin's gameplay isnt simple. That's why only enemies can have more over the top design because the developers dont need to worry about collisions, clipping and many other factors which can lead to a problem in an open world game. Ark Knight is a sprite game, which as a result gives developers and artist a much easier time. IF Genshin was forced to do that, it would take way much longer to create a character which as a result means less new characters per update, aka less momentum to stay relevant. Thats the thing people are ignorant about. Arknight simply is a simpler game, which doesnt mean a bad game. It simply means, the artists has much more freedom when it comes to design because there are less things the developers needs to worry about, aka less dificult to make compared to Genshin.

You only see what the character represents and not what the character is. As you pointed out, in Arknights the splash arts shows what characters are like. Again as you said, in that example Goldenglow doesn't have full control over her powers and therefore is nervous while in Ayato's case he is supposed to be a higher up officer from a noble family during fedual Japan but thats all you get from his design. His facial expression gives the vibes of an elder brother (might tease you but always there to guide.) but aside that the design is completely devoid of personality. For example they could make him carry a stained apron in his pocket which is slightly visible if he likes to try out dishes or likes to eat or they could make a pocketwatch hanging beside the charm if he likes to be timely or values his time etc. Yet there is nothing at all. You spesifically need to open the background page and start reading if you need to learn about them or give a listen to his voice lines as you play with him.

[@ajca711]

Like I said in another comment, they could be more creative with the splash art and the drip marketing they keep making, make it more interesting and not just some copy-pasted post about new characters to be released. Like put stuff in there to really flesh out the character, giving the players an idea of what they're about, past the visual aspects there should be some more nuance to the art design. IMO I think it's a disservice to the character when their most used visual is the blandest and most boring one, doesn't even show what the character is past the eye candy. The simplicity works, but it gets boring when you keep on looking at it.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

If you only compare splash artworks for the gacha then yes Genshin is lacking. However, Genshin doesn't really use the Gacha system as a vehicle for storytelling because it doesn't have to: it can do all that in its fully-animated and voiced cutscenes, and when you play the character while you see them move. AFAIK Arknights mostly relies on VN-style storytelling, which while a serviceable way to tell a story definitely has to rely more on the character art to get a character across. Also, it's a very unfair comparison to use Goldenglow's Elite 2 art with Ayato's default splash art, since if you want a fair comparison you'd use Goldenglow's standard splash art, and as far as I can see her normal splash is just as "vanilla" in terms of character promotion as Ayato's is.

I don't mind sexy female character design but they overuse that skin tight clothing thing. While in AK, at least I can appreciate a lot of the design especially the male ops lol.

[@edenengland1883]

[@stevendao8303]

well both game genres are different, Genshin is more strict in their clothing in terms of lore and reference to them, Ayato is a prime example, his design may be "boring" but it was intended to be considering it was actually based on Japan's Meji era, where western clothing are dominating Japan's usual clothing and culture so really it's based and perfect, a full package tbh While Arknights on the other hand was more modern and really, it's a post-apocalyptic world, who the hell cares about aesthetics, so designs are less strict, I mean if you look at Hung or Lee or any design-heavy character you literally see that they're details are so much that you would even see that it's unnecessary. don't compare two different games when you can't do your research properly about it

I dropped all the other Gatcha games I've played except Arknights, this game has so much care and passion put into the character designs. Take Goldenglow for example, she is is based on a Scottish Fold which are infamous for possessing genetic disorders, in the story she can't control arts very well which leads to her constantly shocking herself, that's why her expression in the E2 art implies she's in pain (pretty sad). Another example would be Purestream, she's based off a Yangtze finless porpoise which are extremely endangered in the wild, one of her voicelines reads: "There is a legend among my people that we came from a place far, far away. Now that there are fewer and fewer of us, nobody seems to know where we came from, or where we are going..." she was also part of a collaboration with WWF, the sales from that event raised money for the conservation of these animals. That's without mentioning the NPCs, during Stultifera Navis one of the NPCs is based on fricking Don Quixote, how cool is that... These are just 2 examples among many many others, now I won't act like every design in the game is flawless, we do get some subpar ones now and then *cough* Ch'en Alter *cough*, but it's the little pieces of obscure trivia hidden among the characters that show how much love and care goes into this game.

[@beckyfromhr588]

I can't say either of the games have bad character design. For genshins ayato, his design manages to convey his overall character decently well. His outfit is similar to a suit, and he is of course, dripped out. It manages to convey his high status and wealthy background. And his outfit is overtly Japanese because the region he is from (inazuma) is inspired by Japan. However, some earlier character designs do a worse job at storytelling, which is understandable, and I only hope they can improve in the future. Genshins lack of diversity (especially when it comes to body types) can be contributed to the fact that they have to make new 3D models for new body types. However, I do agree that their lack of diversity is still a problem. Personally, I like both games, and I don't think either of their character designs are "bad". I just wish Twitter wasn't such a cesspool of negativity. Also, Arknights is the last game I'd call "hyper-sexualized" lol

Nobody dressed anything like that in Meiji Japan. Look it up. The jacket is all wrong; nobody wore that style. Capes were never in. The prominent bow for the cape strikes me as something I expect to see in Chinese fashion, not Japan. The fit is entirely wrong. The Meiji fashion was more straight, never a "slim and fitted" look like this. Gloves are maybe the one thing, but you overwhelmingly find white ones. The sleeves, you would only find something like that on women's kimonos. Never a male western-style jacket. That also strikes me as distinctly Chinese fashion. source: I've studied Japanese history on my own for years, reading all 4 volumes of Cambridge Japan as a light starter. Moving onto Japanese literature. And into Japanese' historians take on their own history. I have also studied Western and Chinese history as pastimes. I enjoy watching the Taiga drama every year (40-50 1hr drama episodes, with all-star casts, by NHK on specific historical event or person) -- though I enjoy trying to find it online less every year. The directors stay very close to period fashion and close attention to historical drama. There is always a very popular tour option to visit the historical sites attached to the drama. The locations that feature prominently usually get massive influxes of tourists that year. The historicity is paramount to this series, which has run continuously since the 1960s.

[@niallk9336]

The little armor he does have (right shoulder, right forearm) is also just blatantly wrong; if this is supposed to be a Meiji era inspired design. I doubt his assertion is correct, however. Not meant as a dig at the artist... unless they really were trying to sell this as Feudal Japan inspired.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

Genshin takes cues and inspiration from historical places to craft its various nations, but nowhere is it supposed to be bound by those, because afterall it still takes place in a FANTASY world. Otherwise you'd have to remove... well, EVERYTHING in Genshin just because they're not historically accurate, because none of them are.

Arknights has best female design, back on release when I used to play it I was so impressed by the design, and nothing was sexualized

Ayato main here. to say Ayato's design is well thought out is bold, considering there are hundreds of fan concepts of him illustrated well before his drip marketing leak, and many of them did his character way more justice than his official design. not to say his official design is bad, it's just that sometimes third-party artists tend to give more love to a character design over the more corporate looks. (except F/GO. good god they taint the name of historical figures just by looking like that) i play dozens of gacha games (both games included) and it's sad to see people like this hurting the solidarity gacha game communities have with each other (r/place's gacha game alliance was a great representation of this)

As someone who is in relation with none of the communitys, this is funny. Also your counter-argument makes alot of sense

And this is why in some cases gatekeeping is your best option.
