God damn.
Anyway, I'm currently ignoring the kits because they seem to be in an incredibly transient stage - gotta wait until at least the first beta version update before I can start caring about those.
Design-wise, I actually really like both Lucia and Yidhari.
Lucia I don't really have any real complaints about. Shifu hot pants everywhere is indeed a bit silly, and I guess I'd prefer the butt chains she has to be an actual mesh instead of just a texture, but otherwise her design works pretty well, I think.
Her animations and concept are actually awesome, I guess I'd prefer that the "summons" had more screen time, so it'd be clearer they are fighting for her.
But I'm giga-sold on the whole "goat Tiefling summoner" thing. give her hooves
Yidhari overall design is nice, but parts of her clothing feel a bit too busy.
I'd lose the whatever-the-fuck-is-going-on from her thigh, and the music-player-looking thingy should be less fancy IMO - after that her design is actually very solid, I like it. But Shifu hot pants are still silly. To be fair, my Shifu is in pantyhose anyway.
Her animations look incredible.
Both the personal movement and over-the-top SFX stuff are great to look at.
And her face really works with all the close-ups and menu animations.
The nun version I think had a more solid design of clothing, and the whole "Exaltist renegade" concept felt way better tied to ZZZ's world, while Yidhari's clothing most certainly looks more generic.
That being said, it still looks pretty nice (aside from the busy aspects I'll likely get used to, but would still prefer for the devs to remove), and I dig her face way more than the nun version.
Also, while the actual idea of an Exaltist renegade nun sounds great, the old design clashes against what we ultimately got as the actual in-game Exaltist theme.
Either way, I'm overall excited with the addition.
