At least they improved his hair textures; infact they should patch and update other models with more details & textures, but I doubt they have the time & money to do that
E1lySym2026-01-02 06:34
I still think the base skin is more unique and better compared to the generic longcoat of the newer one, but the newer one does have more polygons and should provide enough novelty for a month or three before I swap back
_childofares2026-01-02 06:51
I agree.
GEN0S6672026-01-02 07:02
Yeah i agree the new outfit is higher quality but it looks so plain
No-Tonight31322026-01-02 07:19
true ngl he no longer feels like the " sun " or " star " like character in the new outfit
BellalovesEevee2026-01-02 07:25
And imo, the blue just doesn't fit him. It looks off. I guess it's because I'm so used to the warm colors.
Reasonable-Banana8002026-01-02 09:16
that’s actually kinda interesting, because I love the color swap between Aether and Lumine. I feel like it fits their personalities better
Solace_032026-01-02 08:31
"generic longcoat"
Okay, please tell me how many gacha MCs actually uses longcoat lmao
E1lySym2026-01-02 08:38
Feels like cheating by actively limiting the character design pool to gacha MCs, which is such a hyperspecific population. If we go by anime-adjacent media in general it's such an oversaturated trope -- Kirito, Dante, Vergil, Archer, Caelus from the game next door, Edward Elric
gryphon_duke2026-01-02 08:55
the coat itself has a generic design. this is like a 5 star manekin skin lmao
soihu2026-01-02 06:35
Hair upgrade is big, though I still feel the outfit looks blockier than modern characters. Will have to see what it looks like in motion.
HollowedSlayer2026-01-02 06:36
Bro can they please fix Diluc's and Albedo's hair now? lol
Nathanii_5932026-01-02 06:53
I’m pretty sure diluc is getting an entirely new model so that he doesn’t look like… well diluc.
Nero_PR2026-01-02 07:10
Diluc is the worst offenderby far. It's like having a room full of Homo Sapiens while Diluc is the Neanderthal of the crew 😭
clouddog-1112026-01-02 07:18
please don't insult neanderthals
Argentumhedgie2026-01-02 10:50
Is there actual leak or anything I’ve been waiting on these supposed model updates since 6.0 rumours 😭
REKLA52026-01-02 07:03
and Columbinas. Her in game hair is way worse than Albedo's if we're judging from the splash art compared to their in game hair. Her's has zero depth to it and it's like too flat planes, but in the splash art it's super wavy and curving all over the place but in game it's just flat and boring.
r0ksas2026-01-02 08:04
Actually albedo's hair is not the only issue, her baby eyes don't match any of his official artwork
x3bla2026-01-02 08:20
What's... What's wrong with their hair
Reasonable-Banana8002026-01-02 09:15
Albedos hair and outfit are just very flat, basic, and outdated.
Diluc has similar issues, but also his facial structure is different from other characters. I believe his eyes are lower on his face and they aren’t very detailed.
It just makes them look *so* bad, especially when our next to the newer models.
julixttaa2026-01-02 06:36
Can't they update the textures for the base model too? I like the OG outfit more..
paradox_valestein2026-01-02 07:02
We will have to rely on mods for dat
Sakkitaky222026-01-02 10:14

EarlVincent2026-01-02 08:23
small indie company pls understand
DeadenCicle2026-01-02 08:42
I like the original more too. I hope people won’t stop pushing for a quality upgrade of the original model after the release of the new skin.
Martian_on_the_Moon2026-01-02 08:46
They probably don't wanna touch stuff which might not work as intended in previous content. Yes, even simple thing as updated textures. Testing it alone would take hundreds of hours, to view every single instance involving MC.
FrostedEevee2026-01-02 09:28
Can't they just update the model but leave the cutscenes? I get it will look inconsistent but better than having nothing.
OnnaJReverT2026-01-02 09:54
in-game rendered cutscenes probably use the player models
i_gotsickofthinking2026-01-02 15:29
The early ones do, but the later cut scenes (the cinematic ones) use finished animations (like anime clips)
majkoni2026-01-02 09:48
This isnt how gamedev qa works
Xitaull_Ciphivisk2026-01-02 15:36
They could just add the updated model as a selectable skin. Everything prior is fine, and now they can use the new one for new content.
JaySlay20002026-01-02 17:56
I know it's not the same amount of content but mona, amber, And Jean got new appearances and that was fine.
Honestly I don't think hoyo CARES about old content. Natlan is STILL missing voice lines. If they cause bugs they'll just fix it in about 10 months give or take.
LadyAlleta2026-01-02 11:56
Agreed. Honestly I like the new Lumine skin more than her base, and I know they just... Swapped color palettes for the twins, but Aether has more warm tones in his hair and skin and the new outfit doesn't fit him color wise. He also just looks like he's drowning in that jacket whereas before he was in an outfit meant for ease of combat. This new outfit looks like NPC kinda style to me.
RavagingRock2026-01-02 06:38
But.. his stomach :[
Zeref_80552026-01-02 06:41

I don't know why I got downvoted but if you put your cursor at the end of his crotch you can see it got pushed back, thought it looked funny
bruhhh_bama2026-01-02 06:47
they really need to update the base skin. next time we see the traveler with the new outfit next to the abyss twin, the low quality is gonna stand out even more than it already does
ZerothMask2026-01-02 06:48
In exchange for no more belly, we fixed his hair and gave him drip
Cryogenx372026-01-02 06:48
Ayoo? They made his crotch tighter/positioned more upward?

Acrobatic-Exit87882026-01-02 07:49
Aether's midriff seems to be liked by everyone nowdays
EnvironmentalistAnt2026-01-02 08:01
It’s the only midriff on a male mc. The other gatcha got is kirito clone to fit the waifu harem stories

Im sorry but he is just pretty and I love him, 💗
Narissis2026-01-02 10:18

kristal1190220232026-01-02 10:50
I know this only because I recently made a perler of him as a Christmas gift to my sister lol
ezio452026-01-02 12:56
It's also just unique in general. Not many gacha male MCs walk around with a crop top.
Ewiwa_Moon2026-01-02 10:42
Bc it's unique. It's personally the reason I chose Aether first
MindfulNoob2026-01-02 17:23
Same! That and his braid. I'm really not used to gacha male MC's that have longer hair, usually everyone be having short black or brown hair. Now silver too with Caelus and Wise, but they have the same typical short hair that the black and brown hair gacha male mcs be having.
Narflarg2026-01-02 13:46
It's more that if you say you don't like it, you will get downvoted into Oblivion
i_gotsickofthinking2026-01-02 15:26
Because in the sea of generic mcs, aether stands out for having long hair in a braid and a midriff. But now he lost 2/3 of those 💔
CatObsession78082026-01-02 10:34
That, and the pants in his new skin are like the generic pants that most of the other male characters in Hoyo games wear. I notice it every time and it ends up annoying me lol
Edit: and by this I mean the very specific shape they have in the middle of the pants
NoEnthuiasm2026-01-02 16:39
For real, his original outfit is the one thing that sets him far apart from the other main male characters. God forbid we get one non-conventional male protagonist...
EggplantHuman64932026-01-02 22:44
Yes. I need to see twink Aether. I NEED TO SEE THE GRABBABLE BARE WAIST

Can you post the same thing for Lumine?
No-Tonight31322026-01-02 07:18
my only nitpick about the new design is that they should've used more gold instead of blue for the color design
ComposedOfStardust2026-01-02 07:54
Tradeoff I think. They removed every ounce of blue from Lumine's new outfit in turn, even from the inteyvats in her hair
TakeiDaloui2026-01-02 12:58
Annoying for me, I liked her blue. And not a fan of the puffy sleeves. At least she didn't lose her neck cape tails or whatever that is called.
LadyAlleta2026-01-02 11:58
They swapped the color palettes of the twins. It's intentional. He has her flower too.
Vegetto_ssj2026-01-02 07:18

I like the hair, but dislike the new outfit. Looks too much like formal wear you'd put on a kid
MangoTheNutella2026-01-02 16:44
It doesn't balance well with the big head of the model as well. I feel like the baggier pants on the original outfit were complemented by that. Also the bare belly was a middle ground between the two.
cochese252026-01-02 16:55
This is what I was thinking. It's also kind of ugly and doesn't fit the character or the story, really. Unless it's meant to be part of some kind of ceremony
WonPika2026-01-02 08:35
New outfit is fuggly af but I appreciate the updated hair and face model.
DeadenCicle2026-01-02 08:40
The quality upgrade is nice, but the color palette was so much better before. I’ll stick to the original skin and ask for a quality upgrade in surveys.

Diluc has similar issues, but also his facial structure is different from other characters. I believe his eyes are lower on his face and they aren’t very detailed.
