Tsaritsa is about to wear swimsuits in the middle of a snowstorm lol
goens7772026-01-24 05:22
She's gonna ask us to apply lotion too
BobTheGodx2026-01-24 05:23
Makes sense. The Cryo Archon wouldn't need to worry about the cold.
Perfect_Increase87922026-01-24 05:24
Would look ass regardless
Legitimate_Bat_64902026-01-24 06:03
The cold never bother me anyway
d-the-luc2026-01-24 05:24
she will see Lauma's sales and go "fuck it, I don't need this noble outfit. what I'm wearing under it will do just fine"
GEN0S6672026-01-24 06:03
Yesssss
Its-A_me2026-01-24 06:45
Man I hope she sees arlechino's sales.
Anxious-Drag-60282026-01-24 05:26
I sure hope so
AEsylumProductions2026-01-24 05:28
The cold never bothered her anyway
Axlzz2026-01-24 05:29
The cold never bothered her anyway.
NarutoRoll2026-01-24 05:58
In fact, the lore will state that she must wear the least amount possible to commune with cryo. Or, that she needs to breath using her skin... You know, the usual stuff.
Iffem2026-01-24 06:07
will we be told that we will regret our thoughts and actions?
Seth-Phiroth2026-01-24 05:34
Bold of you to assume the literal embodiment of cryo is not fond of cold weather, her wearing a swimsuit is just a summer skin for her
alatarielv2026-01-24 05:34
Thats how you know its endgame gear lol
Curiousity10242026-01-24 05:37
Hey... That's a pretty great idea of design
GlitterDoomsday2026-01-24 05:40
Remember Eula taking ice baths in Dragonspine? She's about to be the final form.
paradox_valestein2026-01-24 06:39
You just reminded me Eula is a character in the game lol. I forgot she existed
Fancy-Fun-46772026-01-24 07:44
Tsaritsa really gonna be Eula not bothering to hide her Russian accent
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:45
Bronya, queen of a winter planet and wearing like barely a proper coat at most: first time?
ephemereal_2026-01-24 05:45
The swimsuit is going to have a lining of frilled fur.
Supertails19922026-01-24 05:47
Well, Yelan took what was meant to be her coat. So she might as well make do with what she has.
Whether that ends up being a fancy gown, a swimsuit, a bunny suit, or a wedding dress… would be up to Hoyoverse, but I know I’d be fine with anything. Even battle armor made of ice. Ironically, that Icy battle armor idea sounds extra hot.
Redwolf4762026-01-24 05:52
Well she’s the god of ice I doubt cold is a thing she can be
d-the-luc2026-01-24 05:11
for real though. each design is trying to take a slightly different direction from everyone else in the region. Fontaine was united on being fully clothed. Natlan was united on going out with little to no clothing. Nod Krai is just a mix of both of them. I don't mean this in a bad way, but Nod Krai designs just look like a bunch of people who migrated from other regions into Nod-Krai instead of having their own theme. which I guess is still very much fitting for the region anyway considering what it's going through
grumpykruppy2026-01-24 05:15
That *is* sort of the point, TBF.
amurgiceblade442026-01-24 05:16
I mean that is indeed the case, most the folks aint local, only Lauma, Aino, and Illuga arguably are. Columbina as well though more disconnected due to her being raised as a goddess.
KashiraTempest2026-01-24 05:21
> but Nod Krai designs just look like a bunch of people who migrated from other regions into Nod-Krai instead of having their own theme.
Isn't that the reason why Nod Krai existed in the first place??
4GRJ2026-01-24 05:21
The funny part of Fontaine is that it's probably one of the more hotter nations in terms of climate
[deleted]2026-01-24 05:25
[deleted]
4GRJ2026-01-24 05:27
And that's actually the reason why it's hot
The water keeps evaporating
Lamsect2026-01-24 05:24
they literally are "a bunch of people who migrated from other regions"
tuxedocat20182026-01-24 05:26
I mean Nod Krai itself is meant to be a "melting pot", the people there are from different cultures so it's actually the point that they are not all dressing the same way...
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:51
At the same time if I see bare legs in a place with snow, I am raising my eyebirws. Sure Nod-Krai isn't quite as cold but surely Lauma wears a fancy little coat when there's a wind about? Charlotte was told she would freeze in her outfit and i don't care how thick Lauma's dress is those legs will be frostbitten, Frost Scion or not
RevolutionaryFall1022026-01-24 06:13
>i don't care how thick Lauma's dress is those legs will be frostbitten, Frost Scion or not
I dont think it matters whether you care or not, lauma is the moon chanter of the frost moon scion regardless
bluedragjet2026-01-24 05:27
>Nod Krai designs just look like a bunch of people who migrated from other regions into Nod-Krai
Nodkrai is a bunch of random people migrated to Nodkrai
d-the-luc2026-01-24 05:28
like here is my personal opinion on where I think their design would fit if if they werent from Nod-krai, in no perticular order. feel free to share your own.
Nefer looks like she's from Sumeru. Illugga looks like he's from Fontaine, and is probably Freminent's lost cousin or something. I feel like Aino would be fitting in fontiane with her creations, but not the design though. Zibai is just Liyuean. Flins looks like he's from mf'ing khanrai'ah, bro looks like a corpse. and I feel like it wouldnt feel odd to see Lauma in Kinich's tribe (I forgot their name), the colors fit despite the difference in how the outfits look, even though she identifies as a clothed person instead of actually wearing clothes for her outfit design to be considered in the first place for this. I cannot be convinced that Jahoda wouldn't be THE perfect Fontaine design. Fontaine has a lot of automatons things, Jahoda has an automaton arm. Ineffa would also fit flawless as a Fontainian because they have a lot of automatons, it wouldn't feel out of pocket to have one of them as a playable character.
DM_ME_YOUR_MAMMARIES2026-01-24 05:46
Illugga is not fancy enough for Fontaine. Easily Snezhnaya or Mondstat. Same with Aino. Flins looks like Fontaine or Snezhnaya considering Childe's fit. Jahoda feels like she would be exclusively found in the Fortress of Meropide. Agree with the others tho.
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:49
Illuga being adopted could in theory make him being Frimenet's long lost cousin reality to be fair
FallenAngelII2026-01-24 05:34
Nod-Krai is a mix, except every woman is scantily clad and every man is fully clad. Also, let's not exaggerate. In Fontaine, Furina wore shorts and Lynette, Clorinde, Navia, Sigewinne and Chiori all wore short dresses with stockings and Charlotte wore a short dress without stockings.
The only fully clad female character released during the Fontaine patch period was Arlecchino.
Bon-Pon2026-01-24 05:45
I'd say Natlan is the same as Nodkrai in that sense. every Natlan male is covered (ororon, Ifa, kinich and capitano if you wanna include him) while the girls are scantily clad
rathosalpha2026-01-24 05:37
I assumed everyone is a person from a different region who migrated besides like lauma
LokianEule2026-01-24 05:40
\>Natlan was united on going out with little to no clothing.
Only bc Kinich was the only male 5\* and he was covered head to toe. So was Ifa. And Ororon was mostly covered too.
fubukishirou072026-01-24 05:17
I would assume that the way the female units were dressed they would be living either in fontaine or mondstadt without getting frostbite.
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:52
Nefer from Sumeru should def be freezing because that's a desert to the mountains...as a desert dweller i can confirm a hint of frost on the ground turns me into an icicle
RubApprehensive25122026-01-24 06:34
It depends on the kind of desert. Southern California is one of the deserts that gets close to 140 degrees F (60 C) and as low as 20 degrees F (-6 C).
Pi-Alamode2026-01-24 05:19
dear hoyoverse, please give us another woman wearing pants. thank you
Big-Cauliflower-34302026-01-24 05:23
And one that wears a shirt with sleeves
JaySlay20002026-01-24 05:24
ATTACHED sleeves. You gotta be specific with hoyo

nah banana hammock or bust
Dense-Decision91502026-01-24 06:42
i read that as clit i'm so cooked 😭
PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics2026-01-24 06:04
We got Yae and Raiden not wearing any pants way back in Inazuma, where's the male equivalent, Hoyo?
RubApprehensive25122026-01-24 06:28
Just think Ifa in booty shorts
Sireanna2026-01-24 05:51
We have what... 3? Dori, arlecchno and jean?
Accomplished_Fan31672026-01-24 05:54
Goatvuika too 🏍🏍
Sireanna2026-01-24 06:01
Oh yeah thats right. I forgot to look at her model because I keep losing my 50/50 on her
gameboy2242026-01-24 06:18
And even with Jean’s it’s actually a cursed onesie.
RubApprehensive25122026-01-24 06:29
That is actually Yelan. She wears a full body suit
LivingASlothsLife2026-01-24 05:20
Men dress to the conditions, woman dress for style
GIsimpnumber12362026-01-24 05:20
I expect for Sneshaya to presente the first micro bikini character who will also feature detached sleeves and a napkin to cover her coochie
Inemiset2026-01-24 05:20
I’m starting to realize why I gravitate toward male characters more…
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:53
Is it the high heels no matter the ground they walk on
Master06432026-01-24 05:22
Very true, the mens are sweating under all that clothing, they should at least remove the top half.
tuxedocat20182026-01-24 05:26
Women in genshin have built in heaters in their mini skirts but men somehow don't have that technology
piichan142026-01-24 05:27
The women are in a constant state of severe hypothermia...or hot flashes

You wanna be hoyoshill now? Crying at criticisms is funny
GigglingAngel2026-01-24 05:39

Seems rather valid, to me.
ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-24 05:44
daring today aren't we? /s
HotspotOnline2026-01-24 05:31
I wish game developers would give what the girls and gays want and have shirtless male characters.
GigglingAngel2026-01-24 05:38
Omg yes x.x
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 05:41
This would probably get rid of a lot of the complaints since at least it'll be consistent between male and female characters.
BobTheGodx2026-01-24 05:43
I don't think Hoyoverse cares about complaints from random people on Reddit and Twitter
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 05:50
I never said they did. What they're doing to Varka is proof of that for me, unfortunately.
Sireanna2026-01-24 05:43
I just imagine cyno odd to the side saying "am i a joke to you?"
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 05:52
Cyno has the same amount (maybe even less now that I think about it) of details as a Ken doll. Meanwhile, coffee has detailed panties with 3d laces that flash you every time she moves.
Sireanna2026-01-24 05:59
Hey now! It's not his fault HoYo gave his chest the Aladdin treatment
Remote-Monk-85422026-01-24 06:00
Tbf that's sumeru model quality being really not as good as the recent ones. Cyno in particular stands out as probably the least detailed model from the region.
If we got a character with Cyno's design today (we won't btw) they'd probably look a lot less... flat.
Evening_Parking26102026-01-24 06:02
New cyno skin trust
Sireanna2026-01-24 06:04
We also have Itto who they drew abs on but forgot about arms.
We need a swim suit Varka skin. Time to go back to the golden apple archipelago
Whilyam2026-01-24 06:35
Cyno felt like an obligation they had to give us because he was shown in the Travail trailer made back when they were a company with balls. Same like Iansan. Squirted out with the least effort because they had to. Cyno with an eviscerated kit, Iansan butchered out of the story.
muchawesomemyron2026-01-24 05:53
The girls and gays don’t want cyno… /s
raerecluse2026-01-24 05:44
Itto and Razor are pretty shirtless.
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:48
Shirtless males and women in five layers of drip! Let me gawk at those biceps the way nature intended and oogle at a woman with so much class i feel dirt poor next to her
Arder_Crimson2026-01-24 05:59
This is why Arleccino is so HOT and famous.
Working-Cabinet48492026-01-24 06:03
Arlecchino always felt like a unicorn, genuinely one of the most well written and well designed characters in the game
Like genuinely she completely lived up to her harbinger hype from that teaser, and her outfit and color palette is a straight 11/10,
Seriously I don't know why don't make characters like Arlecchino anymore, we don't need archetypes or cute uwu women in large amounts,
Laevateinism2026-01-24 06:15
I just wanted to say this made me laugh so hard I almost shit myself. I, too, want to ogle ar a woman with so much dignity and class that I feel more than just dirt poor next to her. Maybe even a groveling dog salivating for even a glance spared at my direction. I would consider myself lucky, even, if she decides to look at me in the eyes specifically for whatever reason she desires.
Childebag2026-01-24 05:55
Hoyo: Best I can do is noodle arms Itto and a Sumerian Joker with no nipples
Luzis2026-01-24 05:56
Just imagine how ridicolous it would seem to have all these male charas shirtless in a place suppposed to be cold. Shows exactly how fucked up this double standard is.
They also act as if fully clothed female charas can't be fanservicy. Shenhe can't relate.
Not including female characters that appear to straight up just not be wearing underwear like Mona
So every female 5-star (excluding Ineffa who I don’t think is technically wearing clothes?) post-Natlan has had visible panties but we haven’t had a shirtless male since Sumeru 🥲
secretperson062026-01-24 07:55
I find it funny that 2 of 3 of my limited banner males are the ones with no shirt on. This must mean something...
LARGames2026-01-24 06:55
I just want a tall woman with a flat chest. Only the medium height women have decently small ones.
Arkenstar2026-01-24 05:32
Anyone's who's lived with their partner/spouse and had to fight over the AC/radiator controls knows that men and women DO exist in a different climate zone :'D
Offduty_shill2026-01-24 05:52
though it's usually the opposite lol
I'm in just shorts and my gfs huddled in a blanket with sweatpants
DoctorLinguarum2026-01-24 05:54
Yeah, I guess I am one of those few women who just runs really hot. I’m a furnace.
Under_theSky_7772026-01-24 06:46
As someone with a brother, I can say men tolerate cold much better than the women. I'd believe it if Flins goes out wearing tank top, shorts and sandals in Nod Krai, maybe even in Snezhnaya without shivering to death. But for me, a woman, there's no way I'd be fine wearing Lauma's costume in cold climate. I'd freeze to death.
My bro always sets his room AC at a chilling temperature and he didn't even wear any coat when we visited a country in it's springtime. He couldn't tolerate the heat tho and wouldn't bath in hot water, only in cold water. Me, I like my bath warm if not hot lol.
So yeah, I'd believe it if it's the other way around, but personally I wouldn't like seeing Flins in tank tops lol. I don't mind if he's shirtless tho...
NotTwitchy2026-01-24 05:33
To be fair, Zibai literally does live in a different climate. So do Durin and varka but they’re dressed for weather colder than Mondstadt’s climate seems to be, so I’m not counting them.
JunkKnight2026-01-24 05:42
Zibai is also the most covered of the women shown, pretty funny if you think about it.
NotTwitchy2026-01-24 05:47
True, but that doesn’t exactly look like cold weather gear. It’s just showing less skin.
JunkKnight2026-01-24 05:50
I know, I'm saying it's funny that the comparatively most warmly dressed of the the female characters shown isn't even, as far as we know, planning to go to Nod-Krai while all the characters who do live there are dressed for a day at the beach.
SpellOpening78522026-01-24 06:11
Zibai has a moonwheel as her vision right? Since she's supposed to make Lunar Crystalise possible, and Lunar reactions can only be made by Moonsign/Moonwheel vision'd characters I think?
ComposedOfStardust2026-01-24 06:38
Well yes but she doesn't have anything to do with Nod Krai beyond her connection to the moons
Patchyclaw2026-01-24 07:35
The pyro archon is gonna be in more covered in the arid climate then the cryo archon is in the freezing cold.
ussymomma2026-01-24 05:34
Yea that thing about the giant torch that keeps snez warm, nothing like dragonspire maybe in some corrupted abyss parts. But yea do expect to see half naked people in sneznaya, i mean im not complaining either
Practical-Dark-99162026-01-24 05:51
I too would like to see Pierro's half-naked decaying skeleton in Snezhnaya.
Rezkel2026-01-24 05:35
Lol, the one with the most clothes is the one who doesn't live there
Sumire-Yoshizawa-2026-01-24 05:40
I dunno, Varka is showing quite a lot of forearm skin. Scandalous!
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 05:48
Thirsting after male characters in this game sometimes makes me feel like a Victorian man seeing ankles for the first time.
Most of the dudes are almost completely covered, so people go feral over the slightest bit of skin, and every ass that isn't completely flat is seen as a dump truck.
oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-24 06:13
I was thinking earlier today how Scara’s shoulders and hip windows make me FERAL - and how its so fucking tame compared to the myriad of tits and ass out women.
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 06:22
I've been present in the fandom for long enough to remember the time when people made memes about how fat Zhongli's ass is when that shit is flat as fuck
oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-24 06:38
My fellow soldier in arms 🫡
Hoyo really gave Kaeya an ass-first introduction but forgot the ass. It really took until Fontaine for men to get any kind of glutes whilst day one the women be carting around their dumpies
LadyKatriel2026-01-24 06:26
As someone who still goes feral over Wriothesley’s ass I feel you. Lauma and Nefer are showing underwear (or lack of it honestly) and all we have is like, Alhaitham’s covered abs. Varka’s naked forearm is scandalous after Flins being completely covered. I do appreciate the new model for Varka though, we gotta take what we can get I guess.
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 06:30
Varka is the only male character whose in-game model I consider to actually have a really good ass (Wrio's is fine), but Hoyo knew it'd be too powerful for the public to get their hands on, so they hid it behind his cloak.
dennisleonardo2026-01-24 08:29
Tbf, they tend to give the men at least semi-functional outfits that fit their profession or the region they inhabit. Their outfits tend to tell you a lot about the character.
For the women, they... try to do the same, usually. HOWEVER, they also 9.5/10 have to make them skimpy because it sells better.
The irony is that the way they design the men's outfits ALSO sells better.
The men tend to follow the 'rule of cool', and the women tend to follow the 'sex sells' rule. With a few exceptions here and there.
Because their target demographic are young adult men first and foremost. Although genshin has a relatively high amount of female players! I do feel like most of the medium height men are designed with the 'female gaze' in mind tbh (the twink archetype is more popular with women than men). But the tall men seem to be designed with the 'male gaze' in mind more often than not.
Varka is inspired by european knights, so they gave him an armor. Jean is inspired by the same concept, so they gave her... armored gloves. Like, at least they try. Right?!?
miseenen2026-01-24 08:40
People went wild over Childe’s little bit of exposed belly lol
toucanlost2026-01-24 06:32
I was there when they released art of Albedo not wearing tights, revealing a 1 cm strip of skin around his thighs.
starmadeshadows2026-01-24 08:12
i was about to say this!!
ok but it gets funnier. that couch under the window has the exact same layout as the office Kaeya's birthday art that year was set in, the one where he was asleep at his desk
dude took his stockings off in Kaeya's office.
Why did he take his stockings off in Kaeya's office.
Dense-Decision91502026-01-24 06:41

bluedragjet2026-01-24 05:42
Ignoring the four characters that dress like their region
- Jahoda and Lauma design are mainly for fanservice
- Columbina suffered being forced to look similar to her first appearance
- Aino is for marketing
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:53
At least Columbina has an excuse and she can technically not apply since she's literally a Frosty Moon
Perfect_Increase87922026-01-24 06:01
Now will you turn blind eyes on tsaritsa since she's the god of ice? Lol
LandLovingFish2026-01-24 05:45
Legit if Snezhnya doesn't have any waifus with a giant parka and muffs brandishing a bigass sword I'm going to be very disappointed. Imagine the possibilities! Winter cosplays! Big poofy jackets! Fluffy coats! Big boots they can step on things with! Cute earmuffs!
Perfect_Increase87922026-01-24 06:00
Looking at how harbingers dress during winter night lazzo I will flame hoyo if none of the playable characters are covered lol
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 06:14
They will be, but only the men. The women will wear battle bikinis, and the inconsistency will never be explained.
Perfect_Increase87922026-01-24 06:17

The lore will try its hardest to "justify" it lmao
nanimeanswhat2026-01-24 08:46
Visions give resistance to extreme temps! But only if you're a woman!
Position_Waste2026-01-24 05:55
Zibai gets a pass, since she may be liyue based. Aino could also maaaybe pass, her jacket looks warm and she's in her workshop most of the time. The rest get no mercy
medikiwi2026-01-24 05:57
this highkey annoys me, not even necessarily because more clothing = better even though I do think it lends itself to more creative designs but because they used to do both genders equally and it made sense for the setting too (mondstadt, inazuma, sumeru, fontaine) and then in Natlan and Nod-Krai they just threw it out the window
Natlan was the perfect environment to have everyone wearing skimpy designs but instead the boys are covered head to toe, then in Nod-Krai, described as frigid and close to Snezhnaya, the boys are all covered up again while we get some of the least covered up designs for the girls ever
I don't even need the clothes to necessarily fit the setting/climate but I miss designs like Cyno and Itto. The polar opposite designs just look absurd when put together like this
SleepySassySloth2026-01-24 06:01
I always wanted to know the Canon justification of Lauma outfit. Yeah it's fanservice we know but imagine the in-game reason. Better kuuvahki flow is there but that's boring.

5.5 years later and I'm still waiting for a full plate armor female knight

Ladies in nod krai dont wear pants, every single character has shorts, like bruh hoyo
oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-24 06:08
Lmao ya its always been fucking stupid
Ahno_2026-01-24 06:08
I'll be honest I have been holding out on doing the Nod Krai AQ. But I thought Nefer and Lauma were in Sumeru when I saw their designs.
Tuuki2026-01-24 06:13
The recent male character designs really make me feel like a victorian man swooning from seeing ankles
NoOne2152026-01-24 06:16
Need a Mydei in Genshin, maybe a Hyperborean dude.
Gjyn2026-01-24 06:17
I expect exactly 0 things to change coming into Snezhnaya. Arlequeeno was a once in a blue moon thing.

I wouldn't mind if it just applied to the men too lol. Like hell, even just a boob window like Dan Heng would be something. I even like the ladies designs, it's just annoying in the context of "men are covered head to toe while the ladies are showing as much leg as possible and maybe their panties if you're lucky."
Ok_Air27122026-01-24 07:14
Yeah agreed 99% of my frustration with it is just the inequality of it. I don't like fanservice-y designs generally but if you're gonna have all your female characters Like That then you'd better start stripping the men too. Bad enough that there are so few male characters to begin with
Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-24 08:45
This reminds me of what happened in Marvel Rivals. There were initially some complaints about fanservice after they released the Malice skin, but it quickly stopped once they started actively slutting out the dudes as well since the treatment was more equal.

At this point, I've made it a game to myself to guess the characters' genders based on their appearance.
Knew that Illuga was gonna be a male character because he has actual clothes on.
johanxtwo2026-01-24 07:32
No way people are noticing this just now…
This is a gacha pattern pushing their agenda that women with (proper) clothes dont sell. No such thing as fair in gender in gacha games. We even get to play old men but rarely old women. Call it whatever you like but proof is proof.

Flins literally doesn't show any skin except for his face 😭😭
Albuslight2026-01-24 08:13
I was a bit dissapointed about columbinas dress, her panties shows everytime (flying, running, climbing jumoing). I loved her sisters designs but hoyo seem to think playable must have legs and cheeks showing. I feel robbed of a character that finally would have a long beautiful dress 🥲 Also why do the men have so much clothes? Ripp the shirt of Varka so it will be even
starmadeshadows2026-01-24 08:15
dude i hate it here 😭
like after a while it's gotta get boring right? for the character designers? legs legs legs legs legs. legs — oh here's the new archon-analogue! whoops she looks like she forgot to put her pajama pants on today. you get legs. she gets legs. her legs go all the way up. ALL the way up. if phanes has the leg lamp from a christmas story in his office i'm fucking breaking it over his head

Whether that ends up being a fancy gown, a swimsuit, a bunny suit, or a wedding dress… would be up to Hoyoverse, but I know I’d be fine with anything. Even battle armor made of ice. Ironically, that Icy battle armor idea sounds extra hot.
Isn't that the reason why Nod Krai existed in the first place??
The water keeps evaporating
I dont think it matters whether you care or not, lauma is the moon chanter of the frost moon scion regardless
Nodkrai is a bunch of random people migrated to Nodkrai
Nefer looks like she's from Sumeru. Illugga looks like he's from Fontaine, and is probably Freminent's lost cousin or something. I feel like Aino would be fitting in fontiane with her creations, but not the design though. Zibai is just Liyuean. Flins looks like he's from mf'ing khanrai'ah, bro looks like a corpse. and I feel like it wouldnt feel odd to see Lauma in Kinich's tribe (I forgot their name), the colors fit despite the difference in how the outfits look, even though she identifies as a clothed person instead of actually wearing clothes for her outfit design to be considered in the first place for this. I cannot be convinced that Jahoda wouldn't be THE perfect Fontaine design. Fontaine has a lot of automatons things, Jahoda has an automaton arm. Ineffa would also fit flawless as a Fontainian because they have a lot of automatons, it wouldn't feel out of pocket to have one of them as a playable character.
The only fully clad female character released during the Fontaine patch period was Arlecchino.
Only bc Kinich was the only male 5\* and he was covered head to toe. So was Ifa. And Ororon was mostly covered too.
Seems rather valid, to me.
If we got a character with Cyno's design today (we won't btw) they'd probably look a lot less... flat.
We need a swim suit Varka skin. Time to go back to the golden apple archipelago
Like genuinely she completely lived up to her harbinger hype from that teaser, and her outfit and color palette is a straight 11/10,
Seriously I don't know why don't make characters like Arlecchino anymore, we don't need archetypes or cute uwu women in large amounts,
They also act as if fully clothed female charas can't be fanservicy. Shenhe can't relate.
2 shirtless male characters: Cyno and Itto
Compared to
10 female characters whose panties are visible: Columbina, Nefer, Lauma, Skirk, Escoffier, Faruzan, Raiden, Sara, Yoimiya, Rosaria
Not including female characters that appear to straight up just not be wearing underwear like Mona
So every female 5-star (excluding Ineffa who I don’t think is technically wearing clothes?) post-Natlan has had visible panties but we haven’t had a shirtless male since Sumeru 🥲
I'm in just shorts and my gfs huddled in a blanket with sweatpants
My bro always sets his room AC at a chilling temperature and he didn't even wear any coat when we visited a country in it's springtime. He couldn't tolerate the heat tho and wouldn't bath in hot water, only in cold water. Me, I like my bath warm if not hot lol.
So yeah, I'd believe it if it's the other way around, but personally I wouldn't like seeing Flins in tank tops lol. I don't mind if he's shirtless tho...
Most of the dudes are almost completely covered, so people go feral over the slightest bit of skin, and every ass that isn't completely flat is seen as a dump truck.
Hoyo really gave Kaeya an ass-first introduction but forgot the ass. It really took until Fontaine for men to get any kind of glutes whilst day one the women be carting around their dumpies
For the women, they... try to do the same, usually. HOWEVER, they also 9.5/10 have to make them skimpy because it sells better.
The irony is that the way they design the men's outfits ALSO sells better.
The men tend to follow the 'rule of cool', and the women tend to follow the 'sex sells' rule. With a few exceptions here and there.
Because their target demographic are young adult men first and foremost. Although genshin has a relatively high amount of female players! I do feel like most of the medium height men are designed with the 'female gaze' in mind tbh (the twink archetype is more popular with women than men). But the tall men seem to be designed with the 'male gaze' in mind more often than not.
Varka is inspired by european knights, so they gave him an armor. Jean is inspired by the same concept, so they gave her... armored gloves. Like, at least they try. Right?!?
ok but it gets funnier. that couch under the window has the exact same layout as the office Kaeya's birthday art that year was set in, the one where he was asleep at his desk
dude took his stockings off in Kaeya's office.
Why did he take his stockings off in Kaeya's office.
- Jahoda and Lauma design are mainly for fanservice
- Columbina suffered being forced to look similar to her first appearance
- Aino is for marketing
The lore will try its hardest to "justify" it lmao
Natlan was the perfect environment to have everyone wearing skimpy designs but instead the boys are covered head to toe, then in Nod-Krai, described as frigid and close to Snezhnaya, the boys are all covered up again while we get some of the least covered up designs for the girls ever
I don't even need the clothes to necessarily fit the setting/climate but I miss designs like Cyno and Itto. The polar opposite designs just look absurd when put together like this
They could do the funniest thing.
