for real

D7meRusher2026-01-27 17:06

Citlali and Emilie are the only ones to have that, but their skirts are open on the front, so not the usual gown.

Basically every playable character just wears short dresses. Unless you're a manakina.

Mtebalanazy2026-01-27 17:08

To be fair it’s better for animations

SirBombo2026-01-27 17:11

Look at Miyabi or Ye Shunguang skin.. i dont think the dress its a problem for animations

kidanokun2026-01-27 17:12

Well, neither go swim or climb anyway

Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-27 17:17

But don't the manekins prove that that's not a problem?

The_Phoenix_Kakuja2026-01-27 17:13

They have unique animations. Most animations outside of attacks are reused

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-27 17:16

Look at non genshin characters? how's that related to Genshin?

SirBombo2026-01-27 17:20

Same engine and company..

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-27 17:26

That’s a flawed assumption. Just because two games share the same engine and parent company, it doesn't mean they share the same development team. A company is a building; developers are the people inside. Different floors, different projects, different talents.

SirBombo2026-01-27 17:28

But the problem with animations limits would be the physics of the engine not being capable.. not the developers normally..

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-27 17:32

So you're saying Hoyo, a multi-million dollar company is 'trapped' by its own software? That’s adorable. Animation and physics limits are almost always design choices or budget constraints. Blaming the engine for poor animation is like blaming the paper for a bad drawing. It’s a skill issue, not a software issue.

SirBombo2026-01-27 18:06

You are the one who said "Look at non genshin characters? how's that related to Genshin?" thats why i said "Same engine and company.." if zzz can, genshin also can.. because like you again said "multi-million dollar company is 'trapped' by its own software?" they probably just want less clothes in girls.. because it sells..

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-27 18:11

So we've moved from 'engine limits' to 'marketing tactics' now? Interesting. If your only link between these games is the company logo, then you've already lost the technical argument. Genshin’s limitations aren't about 'wanting less clothes'; they’re about maintaining a massive open world on mobile devices. something ZZZ doesn't have to deal with. Try to stick to one consistent point instead of grasping at straws.

throwway852352026-01-27 17:31

ZZZ characters don't even jump. The range of motion is much more limited. All ZZZ characters do is walk, run, idle and attack.

Akikala2026-01-27 17:19

You don't have universal climbing animations etc that are shared with everyone else in ZZZ. Genshin needs to follow more specific restrictions when it comes to character design. All Miyabi skirt has to deal with is running.

Though they COULD try to make unique climbing/swimming/etc animations if they wanted to make such a design but the demand isn't really high enough for the effort.

SirBombo2026-01-27 17:25

But the fact that they move faster in zzz and the skirts doesnt glitch or anything, doesnt that prove the engine its capable of using skirt at jumping/climbing? YS even jumps to the sky when using the ultimate

Akikala2026-01-27 17:30

Faster movement has literally nothing to do with anything lol. If anything, faster movement makes it LESS awkward looking as you have less time to notice the animation poses for skirts etc.

YSG NEVER does anything that compromises her skirt position in an awkward way. He jumping to the sky is just positioning and her poses are always designed to not make the skirt look weird.

Compare that to a character in genshin trying to climb a wall. It's SLOW and kinda awkward looking. Now imagine a skirt covering the legs and it will just look bad.

SirBombo2026-01-27 18:17

Well they could animate the long skirt in genshin so it "doesnt compromises her skirt position" or design it so it doesnt look weird.. like you said, and yeah climbing a wall would look like climbing a wall with a skirt in real life probably.. awkward and bad.. the point is, they probably just lazy and the characters have to show skin, legs etc for selling, not that its better for the animations

Marros60452026-01-27 17:27

It is once you get stuff like climbing involved. Genshin's open world puts characters way more positions than ZZZ's exclusively flat battlefields with the occasional run up some stairs.

Daechemwoyaaa2026-01-27 17:27

Wdym? Miyabi has a skirt with a slit, ysg also has a dress with slits on both sides. Even rina has a slit dress.

Seifty_First2026-01-27 17:16

unless you’re a manekina or a mavuika

_i_like_potatoes_2026-01-27 17:25

They ran out of fabric making Navia's dress, she has half a skirt over a mini skirt. They could have just gave her a normal one

Chesse_cz2026-01-27 17:06

Play Infinity Nikki if you want more of Dress.

AdministrationOk31132026-01-27 17:13

Play a hentai if you want less

Chesse_cz2026-01-27 18:24

I would if they were avalible in this country 😅

But hey good to know you at least know what Hentai is

AdministrationOk31132026-01-27 19:28

I was a big anime nerd at one point. Fell down a rabbit hole and immediately jumped ship.

Chesse_cz2026-01-28 15:15

I am still anime nerd, what they make is way better whatever crap hollywood or Netflix do....

Anyway, i always prefer overall look and how it fir character. So how much clothes they have is not issue for me.
Right now for me best overall characters are Navia, Wriothesley, Dehya, Emilie, Raiden, Yoimiya, Xilonen.

Redlinemylife2026-01-27 17:29

Or play both for a balanced life

Chesse_cz2026-01-27 18:23

Or dont play anime style games at all for balanced life.

marmalade_chef2026-01-27 17:08

at least the moon sisters have an actual dress

LokianEule2026-01-27 17:11

Meanwhile columbina just has a slightly long shirt

Several_Bathroom_1962026-01-27 17:16

and if you're swimming you see a bubble diaper thing. it's basically when you get clothes from your older siblings, poor bina.

Any_Ant69142026-01-27 17:32

The Fatui budget cuts are hitting the Harbingers harder than we thought.

Several_Bathroom_1962026-01-27 18:30

or pantalone just refuses to give her actual clothes.

Stock-Koala39862026-01-27 18:10

lol poor bina out here rocking the hand-me-downs, but she makes it work somehow 😂

Perfect_Increase87922026-01-27 17:23

She's adopted /s

LokianEule2026-01-27 18:18

I’m adopted and I don’t see how Columbina being adopted makes it funny.

spearbeans2026-01-27 17:32

Nope best she has is a very long shawl with a mini dress

ARANDOMNAMEFORME2026-01-27 17:35

And really long legs. Looks so goofy with how small her torso is lol.

adleaac2026-01-27 17:25

That was before the big textile drought started.

bleacher3332026-01-27 17:09

Where are the detached sleeves?

Aromatic-Tear72342026-01-27 17:10

Lauma....

Ballad_132026-01-27 17:10

Still too much fabric.

ao_zame2026-01-27 17:11

Such an absolute win.

kidanokun2026-01-27 17:12

Kinda make me get sus on Nicole silhouette

zooap632026-01-27 17:13

Because all dresses IRL are big long wedding gowns 🙄

ikeadesk082026-01-27 17:16

most dresses irl aren’t high-low and stop at the knee?? 😭

zooap632026-01-27 17:22

Ever go to a club?

ikeadesk082026-01-27 18:30

…yes, and most people there wear pants, shorts, or skirts (from my experience in the states)

happyppeeppo2026-01-27 17:40

Depends on the county and culture, Brazil for example on daily basis is common sundresses with lots of cleavage and short skirt, bareback and exposed shoulder in japan is common sundresses too but with no cleavage and no exposed shoulder or back and with skirt longer than the knees , both countries in the summer and spring are hot climate reaching 30 to 35°C , so is more culture than everything, and people forget that the game as mostly unpratical clothing and is a fantasy so they can put their 2m swords out of they dark hole pockets

ikeadesk082026-01-27 18:31

fair enough! i live in a part of the world that reaches those temperatures, too. i think people are just complaining about genshin’s lack of variation in dress length

Nero_PR2026-01-27 17:14

Don't forget it has to at least have two mandatory items between these:

* Leg/thigh straps;
* Assymetrical patterns on legs/socks/leggings/shoulders;
* Hues of blue;
* Flappings IS A MUST;
* Dress Window somewhere (Thighs/Crotch/Boobs/Back);
* Hair acessory.

Eastern-Yogurt89722026-01-27 17:18

Don't forget a detached sleeve that shows off her armpits for no reason

Valarano2026-01-27 17:20

*Detached sleeves

dadofwar932026-01-27 17:28

Coochie flap*

nottakentaken2026-01-27 17:47

They don't get real sleeves either

Akikala2026-01-27 17:15

Gacha games making outfit designs that aren't practical or acceptable in real life? NO WAYYY.

Frigid-Kev2026-01-27 17:16

The real reason why Signora and Capitano can't be playable XD

chenhowe2026-01-27 17:16

Monthly post complaining about clothing qouta reached

Parlax762026-01-27 17:17

Its game design. Don't want it stiff or clip into everything.

Jirul112026-01-27 17:46

barbara and noelle have relatively long skirts and they work just fine

ianmeyssen2026-01-27 17:21

\+ detached sleeves

\+ open back

\+ asymmetry

also, either toes or armpits (ideally both) must be visible at all times (very important)

Magc-Mika2026-01-27 17:23

I see no issue

McSqueakers2026-01-27 17:23

imagine having all the gacha games in the world to clown on for goon material and picking Genshin

Position_Waste2026-01-27 17:24

All the fabric went to Emillie and Nicole lol

Mandalika2026-01-27 17:27

Where's all the spandex tho

ShinjuNeko2026-01-27 17:28

Legs clipping through dress and bad physic are the main reasons devs don't like long dresses.

Jirul112026-01-27 17:46

barbara and noelle have relatively long skirts and they work just fine

Both_Tax67382026-01-27 17:28

Gooner game

YatoCalamity2026-01-27 17:29

Where's the arm sleeves that ain't connected to the dress?

cartercr2026-01-27 17:32

I really do miss characters having actual clothing. I have *nothing at all* against the more fan service-y looks, but I sometimes miss characters like Ayaka or Yunjin whose outfits are a little more on the modest side but also look extremely cute!

I think that’s one of the things I love about Sandrone’s design, she’s really a call back to a time when every character didn’t need to show so much skin. I’m worried that Hoyo might ruin that if she becomes playable.

Arkenstar2026-01-27 17:35

Did the hoyolab crowd seep onto reddit lately? :'D

theabstainingsunking2026-01-27 17:38

Stop playing the game then

shirone02026-01-27 17:38

"dresses in real life" and it's a wedding dress... I guess you aren't wrong op but that like the one dress that's famous for being worn only once

yangshindo2026-01-27 17:40

and thats why real world sucks and fantasy universes are much more fun

lol so true, fashion designers in Teyvat fear cloth

BluHor1zon2026-01-27 17:51

Imo its probably a technical limitation somewhere that led to that design, either in motion or how the character + garment interacts with the environment.
Unfortunately we will need a dev to tell why. Because if its possible, it probably be done by now.

Efficient-Employer852026-01-27 17:53

Nothing says peak character design like removing half the outfit lol
