#those redesigns didn’t really gel with me they didn’t quite fit the vibe of the world but like whatev

Yeah I think you and I disagreeing about the alt twewy redesigns is absolutely a point in favor of your argument--ultimately I like the canon designs best because their broader appeal (outside of my dumb niche interest in DIY goth & punk clothes) is what allows us both to enjoy the game for what it is. There are designs that appeal to me already like Beat, Minamimoto, and 777. I don't need every character to appeal to me specifically! Similarly, if someone redesigned the entire twewy cast to be MORE mainstream I'd probably puke, but someone else might end up disappointed that canon wasn't like that. Such is the pitfall of art and mass appeal...

true…. i think twewy designs in general are the perfect blend of weird (good), weird (bad), and broadly tasteful. they’re normal enough to be easily respectable but unique enough to be interesting. really there are very few outfits across both games i would actively choose to change. neo shiki needs help if you just changed one or two things it would be fine she doesn’t need to be super fashionable but like they did her dirty. neo beat is fine i just think they could’ve added a tiny bit more but i get that they were trying to disguise him. everyone else is either perfectly stylish or strange and that’s golden to me

but yeah if i attempted to redesign anyone i’d probably end up making people either mad at me or mad at the creators lol. it’s an implied challenge to someone it can’t be interpreted as nonthreatening like it forces the viewer to pick a side. so i just prefer to make peace with canon and enjoy when others do that. like tiny minor tweaks to designs in fanart at most
