Interesting. Pretty conservative swimsuits outfits, so hopefully the CN fanbase doesn't get to worked up :messenger_expressionless:

How about a Jean banner to go with the this new summer costume?

I would strongly suggest not believing D*scord rumors. They had some bullshit event where they made up a bunch of "leaks", and people have been screenshotting them and passing them around like real leaks.

Better than I feared, not as good as I had hoped. I was really hoping to see Jean in a 1 piece competition style swimsuit.

Seems pretty tame to me, not that I have problem with typical summer attire. They just need to behave to not attract the clown/twitter mob.
Oh they're already praising it, don't worry. "I'm so glad they didn't give her a swimsuit, this looks so much better!" "I didn't use Jean before but since they didn't go fanservicey, maybe I will now!" yadda yadda yadda. It's like seeing an attractive female just destroys them on a fundamental level. I just hate that the twitter/reddit group is the most vocal, so they're going to think we want burkas on every female character and 20 fujo males to every female character released. So frustrating.

Both costumes are trash you guys. Look closely at their backs. Assets are still covered by some pieces of unnecessary cloth. Art is probably way sexier than the real 3D models. Just like Fire Dork's art shows way more legs than real game model. Mona and Cocogoat look way better anyway. I wouldn't spend any money on either costume. Barbie isn't in my team anyway and Jean while being kinda sexy isn't a "must have" skin. Plus I don't own her.

P.S. Fuck, I hate Twitter...

Just a reminder how limited/premium skins/swimsuits used to look in gacha games lol Now compare it to this leaked trash. Anyone still want to spend money/gems and support it? LOL, not me, tyvm. If I would need anything sexy I would look online 4 free, instead of supporting designs inspired by 1930s swimsuits...

...and pandering to the virtue signaling pink haired mobs.

Women fought for emancipation and their right to wear whatever they wanted for centuries. Well, apparently mission failed tremendously and ideas of Islamic fundamentalists are way more appealing to a so called progressives. Congrats!

Survey asking what I think about the Character Designs? I'm about to get r18 in the response.

Yeah, typical response. I'm still going to demand a two piece swimsuit in blind hope.

"Electro equivalent of Lisa"
Lisa is already electro.

Also, 30 blue wishes for anniversary? Still cheap, but more than I supposed they'd give us. But less than I hoped for.
There were about 15 different screenshots from discord all with different random info, I wouldn't put much thought into it.

*edit*

Also, based on Honkai, they are not going to be that generous for anniversaries. Think of like 2x the amount of usual monthly primos for the month of anniversary, plus maybe 10 various tickets. Also skins and shit to pay for.

I was thinking "Where the fuck do they go to the beach, that they see girls dressed like that?"

And tbh I realized that when in Korea I went to a water park, and they all had t-shirts and stuff inside the pools.

Fucking weird people.

Where are you from?

In my country (Sardinia) we'll laugh on to any clown(esse) who would dress like that at the beach.

It's even uglier, imho.

Why the fuck would anyone wear stand alone sleeves?

Neat, they're giving us back some screen real estate in 1.6 and bunching the Burst ready icons with the character portraits.

About time. I should recommend them use their artwork instead of models as well. Would be prettier.

Flavor text for the skins:

Barbara's Skin

Barbara's dancing and singing exists to heal everyone's hearts. But very occasionally, even Barbara, who brings a smile to everyone, feels lonely. "I want to be like a girl of my age, go shopping leisurely with friends, and spend a warm time with my family." Such a small wish may be simple for others, but a lot for her.

As an idol, you'll always be surrounded by over-enthusiastic fans when you go out. "I had time to go home to gather with relatives, but the time I had with my parents and sister was always too short." A good and busy sister is always preoccupied with official duties. Every time Barbara wants to talk to her, she's always unable to due of the pile of work she has.

The exhaustion of her sister is obvious, and even Barbara can see it. "No way, Jean Gunnhildr is everyone's acting head." Looking at her hard-working sister, Barbara whispered to herself quietly. "But, if it's possible... can you return my sister to me?"

But just then, Barbara heard rumors about the Archipelago. Summer, islands, ocean... Could this be a good opportunity? There are refreshing drinks during summer, with sweet freezing snacks, golden beaches, blue waters, and people playing. Yes! There's a beach, a sea, so why not?

If you want to go to the beach, you need to be prepared, you have to bring snacks and sweets... By the way, there are also spicy dried fish, all packed in a cute little yellow duck bag. ♪ And clothes! You have to change into a light swimsuit. This short skirt feels good, and the white flowers on the shoes are so cute! ♪ Moreover, it seems to be even more cute to tie a bow on the neckline!" La-la-la, Barbara hummed the song happily.

However, her sister won't have time to prepare swimsuits, right? It's a bit difficult, but it's not completely impossible. Barbara smiled and knocked on the library door, "Lisa, are you free? Lets pick a dress together."



Jean's Skin

The life of the Acting Grandmaster is like a mechanical gear, driven by heavy responsibilities and weakened by harsh workload. Over time, the "armor" cast by the Knight's code gradually blended with Jean's skin. It become a habit to maintain a proper image in appropriate formal attire. However, Jean is actually around the age of an ordinary maiden.

In the novels loved by young girls, gorgeous clothes are as indispensable as the stars in the sunny night, the extravagant style of aristocratic descendants sitting in a wardrobe as spacious as a palace. The long skirts overlapped, and the waves of fabric churned. Maybe Jean also had such romantic longings... After all, who doesn't yearn for the beauty of silk-woven pearl-beaded shoes?

Now, Jean's wish has been fulfilled -- she's gotten the most fitting summer outfit. The quality of this one is far better than the thousands of costumes in any novel.

"I heard that the original proposal came from Barbara. She and Lisa searched various shops and found the most suitable swimsuit."

"Kaeya actually convinced Senior Diluc and asked him to hire a craftsman to tailor it."

"The fabric was selected by Amber using her experience making Baron Bunny. It is quite comfortable, but fortunately not expensive..."

"The gems used in the ornaments came from the collection of Albedo and Klee."

"Noelle was in charge of sewing, making sure every stitch and thread were just right."

"And the detailed size measurements was also provided by Lisa... she even sewed in the exquisite rose ornaments herself..."

A gift made for Jean by everybody, an unprecedented surprise.

If the last vacation was a respite during her busy schedule, then this trip to the seaside was a happy coincidence where Jean could completely relax. After removing the "armor", a figure is as light as a floating dandelion faintly shimmers under the sea light. "This is the first time... I have had such a comfortable summer vacation."

So I unlocked all of Rosaria's story and voicelines. Kinda dark honestly.

She was taken from her parents who were killed by bandits, and forced to become a bandit so she could eat. Then when she was a little older, she had to fight the bandit boss for her freedom, but he let her kill him so she could get out which gave her mixed feelings. Then she got put into the nuns by Varkas, who left her on his expedition. She never fit in, so she'd just ignore everyone, run off alone, and go kill people and do unsavory stuff in the evenings "for the good of Mondstadt". Kinda fucked up for this generally happy-go-lucky game. I'm interested how her hangout is gonna go. I hope it delves into that stuff a bit and doesn't go "lol let's go find some cats!"

*edit*

Damn, Barbara simps are scary....

Man, even I am ashamed of my own feedback on the last survey about character designs. :D

The summer outfits are ok. Super tame but look nice. I never expected mihoyo to go for modern looking swimsuits or bikinis. My wallet is saved, they can keep them if they dont offer them in a summer event.

Foot fetishists will be having a good day I guess... (you have to click to open it on Reddit to see the full model).

Duck purse is probably the best part of this meh worty "swimsuit".

So, I'm back to remote play. What can I say? It still sucks, but game looks way cleaner and much more stable. Maybe hotel wifi is better this time I dunno. The most strange/hilarious part is that I still can't use Klee's charged attack. The moment I use it - console drops the connection xD Klee is too fucking strong. Ults and skills work fine, just like any other heroes charged attacks lol
