wow endfield this sure is the new character of all time

[whooiew]

Yknow even if Snowsant doesn't get added into Endfield, I'd atleast want to just see a gravestone or like a small memorial for her, or some tech that she's developed

Cause atleast then I'd be happy knowing that she helped the world enough with her research to be remembered

HG really loves their princess and knight teams.

Perlica and Chen (not that one), Vi^3 and Yan, and Arknights got a bunch too. Nightingale/Liz gets to have two knights! For the chapter 14 focus characters then Logos is a prince, Amiya is a princess and a knight and Wis´adel is a knight obviously (a dark knight). Nice little transition there.

Theresa is a "princess" and Theresis a "knight".

Reed is a princess while Ch´en and Bagpipe are knights!

Indra jokes about how the Glasgow gang are Vina´s knights!

Manfred=princess, Ascalon=knight.

I am sure there are more examples but these are just some at the top of my head.

I am only half joking btw. I do feel like the imagery of a "princess" and "knight" is kind of a reoccurring one, although "princess" here usually means "powerful mage who can melt you with their mind" or equivalent power. But that too is princess vibes.

i feel like when ppl complain abt endfield being generic and bland, theyre really just saying that it has a different style and theyre not used to the change

im cryin they really transferred surtr into a new game and still refuse to give her any tangible personality

Something that feels weird about Endfield is the super off the walls extremely heightened anime combat, when in Arknights the way the action is written feels much more grounded. It feels like the only characters who could do anything close to what the characters in the trailers are doing is the abyssal hunters.

Are you going to give Arknights: endfield a go when it releases?

Yep, but I've been honest on stream about my current impression on it: It doesn't look too good. We talked about it, and basically, Liduke wasn't the best option for art director to be honest. She's really good at what she does but what she does, is lacking in scope: The colors don't look good, too muted, too sterile, designs aren't super good, no design has wowed me the way pre-release Arknights designs wowed me (Specter, Hoshiguma and Skullshatterer made me very hype, to name a few). It's like I'm looking at a slab of dirt. Just... Where's the color? In the maps and the designs of the characters. The moment Angelina showed up in her Bloodline of Combat fit, it was so funny to me, because her bright red jacket instantly became the single most colorful thing in the entire game.

Liduke works very well with pale blacks, whites, reds, yellows, and complimentary winter palettes. Look at Hellagur, Schwarz, (her) W, (her) Ines, etc, they look really good. But that's because we have an overarching cast and world of color to contrast them to. When everything is like that, it doesn't look good. I'm a bit disappointed by Endfield's presentation, to be honest.

The gameplay, or what we've seen of it... Doesn't really look fun. It's plain and simple as that.

It's rather difficult for me to write this because I strongly believe in not doomposting and looking at the virtues of things, but at least from what we've seen, it's just being very difficult to find these virtues in Endfield. The best thing I can say is that I still have faith in it simply because Arknights has really delivered to hell and back in terms of being a game and in terms of sheer raw style. The way it keeps evolving Tower Defense (and Tower Offense, to be honest!) is impressive, so I have no doubt brilliant and passionate minds are working behind Endfield, but it feels bad framing it this way because I'm saying "I like their other work" without being able to find a lot to say about Endfield by itself.

I'll give it a try, because I love Arknights and Hypergryph has been phenomenal in my opinion, but if this was a stand alone game not associated with HG or AK, I really don't think I'd look at it twice, and it saddens me to say. I'm hoping to be proven wrong.

couldn't stop thinking about this edit of theresis's face on fjall. so i made a sonichu style oc his name is theresisfjall he's so original do not steal

instead of killing him at the end of the victoria arc they trap him in the body of a catboy and they send him into the future

[talos-to-listens]

Also look at this peppy Chen, I'm so thrown off.

Skland 1st anniversary

[inthecarpets]

I'm not personally into most of Arknights Endfield designs presented so far but at the back of my mind i just reminded myself that tbh, it's a gacha and i'm not really into most of original Arknights starter designs either. I suppose it'll just take some time before there will be a design that strike to me that much.

Otherwise, well. the gameplay beta test video shown really cool and even more colorful graphics. Love that they added more saturation though i hope they won't overdoo it ofc. The game is supposed to be about terraforming. I hope the crafting and terraforming aspects can work well with gacha aspects. I'm really curious about it! I hope the game's story will explore morality just like original Arknights aswell. I love that Mcs run around in a mask. And i love the Mc's title, Endministrator who's responsible for terraforming the planet. Sounds so metal!
