I remember someone was having an argument with another 2nd half of spook shack hater and there was a take claiming it's good for them to have designs unrelated to each other because they are a bunch of forum randoms.
It's total bs now that I look at it again. First half are Yuzuha, Alice and Manato even if the latter was unplayable he nevertheless was introduced and actively participated in the patch story. Well who are they? High schoolers. All of them. And so their outfits reflect that, girls literally wear their school uniforms, they differ only in that one is in western and another in japanese style. Manato is your stereotypical shonen delinquent, you can put him in the middle of pic 3 and apart from furry features he won't stand out one bit. So in fact they have incredible consistency in their designs on par with old ZZZ factions.
Then these 2 are revealed - goat and yid. They are completely unrelated and that forum is all what ties them to first cast. And what are they wearing? Like actually, what the fuck is this even supposed to be? These two clash so hard with stylized but still practical clothes of old shack it's not even funny, it's horrendous.
And what is worse not only this could be easily fixed retaining forum link, devs themselves had it already but decided to go with release of 2 worst designs in ZZZ so far. Wandering storyteller goat singing bardcore in a dress more tattered than Wandererboo's, Yid's amateur writer secretary/librarian unifrom? Hello? You have it in your own official art.
tldr we were robbed
