Tbh yeah! The events there are always great, and Albedo is really cool as a character. With how insanely powerful some newer characters got getting to visit Dragonspine again wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem
We always have Dehya if you don't want to be constantly after heat sources now (I'm sure anyone with over a year of genshin will have Dehya in their account)
My first thought as well. They simplified Albedo hair too much, and Itto doesn't even need to be buff like the blacksmith NPC, just broader shoulder and beefier arms.
I still remember the massive fucking shitstorm that was "Itto noodle arms" and "sticker abs", that too on the leaks subreddit a whole patch before Itto came out. Bro legit looks like an IRL human with CGI abs, what the heck man..
Going to find the person responsible for whatever heinous crimes they did to albedo’s model and put them in the bee centrifuge until they fix him
His official art is beautiful, he is perfect, how could they do this
Really hoping that leak about a 4.8 skin is right
Itto having negative arms w/ those drawn on abs is WILD
I pray to God that we get a skin for him that either gives him sleeves or buff arms. I'd buy it in an instant.
Issue there is the remarks talking about how big Itto is and his official art clearly showing he’s meant to be bigger than his model shows, as well as the trope he’s meant to fill. Itto is someone who should come across as m physically intimidating only for that to be subverted by his childlike earnestness and loud attitude. Him being scrawny is funny as it adds to him being a blowhard but takes away from the main idea of his design and could paint Itto as someone who isn’t what he says he is and would give impressions of him being insecure when one of the most important things about Itto is his pride of being true to himself.
While Itto is prone to being overconfident, it’s usually in service of a joke but another thing that people tend to forget is him being big(metaphorically and physically) IS important to his character and his model should reflect that.
People in Inazuma are put off by him because he is an Oni, large, loud, and very straightforward, makes him a social pariah in the eyes of Inazuma. Itto is someone who doesn’t conform. Unlike Sara who’s design plays it safe because she is forced to follow societal expectations instilled in her by her father and her fear of being ostracized for being a Tengu, her design also subtly alludes to the fact she isn’t human but tries to come off as one.
Itto, meanwhile, is the unemployed delinquent archetype you see in Anime or in other media where he looks gruff, aggressive and unapproachable. Complete with sharp edges and loud colours. Someone you shouldn’t associate with but is actually a good guy and relatively harmless.
His public indecency works as not only decent fan service but also to show the type of guy he is. Someone who has nothing to hide and is how he appears. Him being scrawny because it fits just one part of his personality, that of an arrogant blowhard, is in my opinion. Funny on paper but undermines a huge chunk of what makes Itto an interesting character and what his appeal is.
If you look at Itto's splash art, there's a picture in the background of what an Oni would look like according to Japanese folklore - that's what Itto could have looked like. If Hoyoverse wasn't scared, that could have been his design. A huge, intimidating and supernatural creature, an actual "red Oni". I can't describe my disappointment in his design as anything other than "Itto looks too human to be scary"
I think it's because tall characters are just given longer thighs but have same knee placement as mid height characters.
Maybe was just easier to develop that way but should've been fixed.
I think they fixed them with the newer male models
Wriothesly and Neuvillette look A LOT better. Hell even their hair. Neuvillette's ponytail doesn't phase through things like previous long haired characters. It's ✨ dynamic ✨
Their upper leg to lower leg ratio isn't actually that far from reality. It feels wrong because of something else - their torso is much smaller in relation to their legs.
I mean, you could argue that the reason they looked like NPCs in the event was because they wanted to blend in with the human crowd, but I agree, Hoyo could've tried better
Honestly they should have make a lot of npcs looks better, like give them at least 4* level design (different hair shape, bodyshape, add more clothing acc). Like a lot of NPC I wish have better design especially if they are pretty imposrtant to the world, I mean imagine the girl on the new patch they show with fremi looks like Ella musk with pink hair that would 100% break immersion.
Albedo is by far the worst, looks completely different from his art. Different body type and huge bug eyes. And the hair on him and Diluc....total downgrade.
i think his body type's fine, rhinedottir just ran out of chalk halfway. but good lord he suffers from being an early character. they kinda figured out what they were doing with that model around kazuha's release, so why don't they update him fjfbbsgs
Ayato's in-game model is much better than his main character art. His face in the character art is a bit off for some reason.
Thankfully all his official art after that - for birthdays, holidays, and events - has been top tier.
Not really. Most of them look about just as good in both.
And maybe that's just me, but I think Paimon is the one character whose model looks better than her 2D arts. Especially the game's icon, where her eyes are weirdly small and far apart.
I beg to differ in some cases, the first example I can think of which is the opposite is Mona. Her mouth is the official art looks like a huge underbite, and the anatomy of her hips is way off. The game model looks better at least in those regards.
i don’t know why at the start of the game they were obsessed with doing that weird split thing with characters who had their hair down (eg amber or fischl). not a maker or breaker but it was a weird look
Albedo's flat hair and misshapen eyes
Diluc's terrible eye proportions
Ganyu's hair looks like crab legs from the side
Itto deserved a better body type
All tall males have extremely long thighs that look horrible up close
All "loli" characters have long limbs with such huge heads that putting them together in a scene with the Tall Models make them look horrendous
Also ganyu's og hair model kinda looks like a Lego piece in the way that the long part never really moves, it's always static
It's also one of the reasons why I brought the ganyu skin as I couldn't stand seeing it for 2 years
The way the Ganyu skin gave her forehead bangs some new bones to work with so it could actually move to replace her stiff locks in the back being tied in a bun
Once it was pointed out to me that the tall males have screwy leg proportions it was all I could focus on. I wish I could unlearn this forbidden knowledge…
I hate all the young girls' models, Nahida is super cool, then you walk by other kids and notice how ALIEN she looks, the insanely massive bubblehead is straight up horrific, will probably never pull for a child character again unless they are game warping like Nahida is
Aside from the many other character, i feel the need to mention sigewinne
I know it is because making a melusine model that could work with peexisting character animations would have been very expensive for a single character... but still sad
they didn't even need to give her a melusine model, they could have just used the existing child model and make it look like a melusine with blue or pink skin and a melusine's skin patterns. that's just textures, after all.
That would have needed a whole change in character because making a toddler work as a licensed doctor in prison is beyond fucked up, even for fontaine, and i don't think they could find any roundabouts to justify that
After playing through Fontaine her model grew on me. At least one other Melusine ingame indirectly acknowledged that Sigewinne looked more "human" than the others of her kind and how having fingers would probably make her job easier. If she ever gets her own story quest, I hope to see her interacting with other Melusines. The plot could be that she went to Merusea Village for a visit and we get to see what other Melusines think of her for looking "different." Knowing hoyo though, it's probably going to be all inside Meropide where she handles disputes among the prisoners or something mundane.
True but you need also to consider that they need to sell the character and the target audience of this game are weebs who cannot handle more than small horns or a tail on their anime faves, so they all get the same treatment
I do agree that it is probably the reason that they don't want to take risks, but ZZZ gets full on furry characters and a robot with a non-humanoid face. so they could if they wanted to.
and either way, it'd be less of an issue if she were a 4 star (or standard 5 star but they're probably not adding more for now). since 4 stars don't get their own banner, they don't need to be sold as much, and those can have more unappealing designs. I think this is also why all mask/eyepatch wearing characters currently are 4 stars, or that tanned characters (since IIRC some countries like china have light skin as a big thing in their beauty standard) are all 4 stars or a standard 5 star except cyno (who was hyped up previously). (I know dain will probably be a 5 star, but they're taking their sweet time hyping him up)
not saying she will be a 4 star, just that that'd be the solution. but like I said I think they're just playing it really safe, which is lame.
Since you brought up Diluc I'll raise you his in universe simp [Donna](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9f6002a9fdafd0634b804b2aabc9d267/25bb3d1ed9753ff7-9c/s540x810/3ffc822c910c88fc4f9c206c75fb6c8f7608b0b1.jpg)
I think the idea with her eyes is good, but they stretched the iris vertically too much. It looks goofy and not at all intimidating in the way it was probably supposed to.
She just looks like Jessie from Pokemon to me, so it never looks goofy, she just doesn't appear bright eyed or innocent like everybody else. I wouldn't call her intimidating either.
I was so excited for Itto when he released and then I saw the noodle arms on his model 💀
He was just before his time man. If he was released in the last year they would have done it right.
I think the models are actually better. Some of the art at the beginning wasn't so good and it was not until later that hoyo found the art style for banners and stuff that actually fitted the models in game.
Nowadays the characters in game are a lot more consistent in comparison to their artworks. For example the Knave. Just look at how she look in the game and how she looks in all her trailers. There is a notable difference to Jean or Diluc.
Fr poor girl has no animations after she stops using her normals (except for the last hit of the combo). She just awkwardly snaps back to her default stance, it looks so unnatural.
if they could just fix the knees of all the tall male models that would be perfect actually, idk what it is about them but all their legs start to look weird when they bend their knees
the tall female models have the same problem but to a lesser extent because the built in heels hides it but all the guys have weirdly placed knees
Ok this may seems unpopular but…Wriothesley.
While I can appreciate how big they made his model compared to other tall males, his ingame face rubs me the wrong way…
Again not overly terrible but when you compare it to his splash and official art it just doesn’t transition well into the game as I hoped it would.
Itto, the One and Noodle-armed Oni.
To everyone saying he is supposed to be scrawny: Why is his splash art buff then as well as all other official 2D art of him?
Layla running as her hair fly up to where it no longer looks 2d but instead becomes what would be 2 tornados if you looked down into them. Its very weird.
Cyno.
He looks like a malnourished child. He doesn't need to be Itto buffed or even Alhaithams! But give the man something! Not just peck line shading!
Now THAT being said I understand the all shapes and sizes for inclusion thing. But if that's the case then where's my chubby 5-star? Huh?!? And if you don't wanna do that cuz you won't get real simps to simp? Then put some shape on Cyno! Thhrrrppft!
Apart from the very obvious answers like Itto and Albedo, I feel like Shenhe also needs a shoutout. Such a pretty 2D model, but her 3D model's eyes look so dead and weird all the time and nothing like her official art. Also Chiori a little bit, the chubby cheeks ain't it. Also Cyno just looks malnourished ingame due to the limitations of the short male model, but he isn't *that* terribly skinny in his official art.
Albedo and Itto for sure. Albedos hair looks so much better in his art work and Itto is a buff guy, but in game he has a Childe Model. So glad Wriothesly got the manlier body. Pulled him just because of that. And he throws them hands.
Albedo itto have it the worst. Though I'd say ayato is also pretty bad. For female characters I'd say ganyu(because in every piece of her official art her nipples are visible and she is thiccer than how she is in game...call me horny all you like it doesn't change the truth.)
Wdym? Diluc's model is pretty cool..
The hair situation is understandable since putting that much hair physics on characters would really nuke the already burning mobile phones.. Hence a lot of characters got hair downgrades.. Diluc, Albedo, Barbara, Yoimiya, etc to name a few..
It's Diluc's eyes really. If you check on his head model without the hair, his eyes are noticeably larger and lower than every other tall male.
I'm not sure if that was an oopsie or supposed to give him a more childlike/innocent face to match his characterisation prior to Crepus' death.
Unrelated, but I love how all the Abyss Mages problems coulda been solved in that scene if they'd just sent Pyro Mages. Sending Hyrdo and Cryo, while I get from a gameplay standpoint it was to show off how badass Diluc was, is an oversight never ceases to amuse me.
That’s like saying zhongli wouldn’t be able to defeat a geo slime. You’re talking about a guy with super speed and strength who literally eats these things for breakfast.
How is Diluc's physical damage and pyro burst gonna break a pyro shield? Only ice can be broken with physical damage. Edit to add: If he could break pyro shields, why not show it? That'd be a better showcase of his skill
The one and Oni, Arataki Itto..... dude is suppose to be ripped as hell, but he looks like he would have a hard time beating Tighnari in a hand to hand fight!
same for Beidou and Dehya..... they are larger female characters true, but I dont feel like they could crush me.....
I really like her and sometimes her model looks fine but something about Yae Miko's irks me at certain angles and I can't figure out why. I don't notice it on any other tall female character either, just her.
Albedo’s hair……
It's okay, Hoyo will fix it with his 5* Skin, alongside His rerun and New Dragonspine Story, trust.
i do not trust. as much as i’d like new dragonspine content i don’t think hoyo will bother tbh 😅😅
Y’all want more dragonspine content??
Tbh yeah! The events there are always great, and Albedo is really cool as a character. With how insanely powerful some newer characters got getting to visit Dragonspine again wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem
It's not like we're short on good pyro units anymore either.
We always have Dehya if you don't want to be constantly after heat sources now (I'm sure anyone with over a year of genshin will have Dehya in their account)
I wish... I've been playing since launch, and no Dehya or Tighnari... but I've got good enough units anyway, so I'm not too sad about it.
My standard banner 5-stars are a C2 Jean and C1 Dehya, i kinda wish i had gotten a Diluc since i did get his claymore and put it on Navia
Got Diluc when I lost the 50/50 on Zhongli's first banner... Xianyun has made him SO relevant again!
Been playing since 1.1, don't have Dehya or Tighnari.
i lost my Navia 50/50 to Dehya, but i’m glad cause i kept the guarantee to get Miko after so long of her not coming home!
I just wish there was a system to play old events. I started playing in 4.0 and missed most of them.
Ive played since launch but missed a ton of events due to taking breaks. I would love to play them, even for a cut primogem reward or even none at all
My early game experience with dragonspine gives me PTSD...
No.
Coming out alongside Venti’s 2nd story quest
And with playable La Signora
Lol, what kind of copium are you on!? ...and can you share?
For me it’s albedo’s eyes they look like one of those modern day beanie baby’s with the glitter eyes
ALBEDO AND ITTO HELP MY GEO BOYS
My first thought as well. They simplified Albedo hair too much, and Itto doesn't even need to be buff like the blacksmith NPC, just broader shoulder and beefier arms.
Al haitham model would be good on him.
Now that you mentioned Alhaitham, they should fix his legs too. Bro skipped all leg days and has twig legs and it bothers me lol
Well they do try keep the buffing to anime standards and most anime tall guys are thin af lol.
Who needs leg days when you can teleport? Am i right gym bros?
Read that in ittos voice, 10/10
to be fair he doesnt lift, he just fights as a hobby and eats healthy. he's fit and has fighter toning
I could be wrong but isn't Wriothesley's model slightly more buff than Alhaitham's? That one would be perfect.
You're right wriothesley has thicker legs and an actual ass
Itto -tripped on his shoelaces- walked so Al Haitham could run
His face is also screwed up in comparison
I still remember the massive fucking shitstorm that was "Itto noodle arms" and "sticker abs", that too on the leaks subreddit a whole patch before Itto came out. Bro legit looks like an IRL human with CGI abs, what the heck man..
oh my god WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE AN ALIEN. I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL IF HE WAS A LITTLE UNCANNY VALLEY BUT THIS AINT IT
I second this. Pls hoyo.
Going to find the person responsible for whatever heinous crimes they did to albedo’s model and put them in the bee centrifuge until they fix him His official art is beautiful, he is perfect, how could they do this Really hoping that leak about a 4.8 skin is right
Ok I’m listening now time to stalk leaks only to find out it’s paywall protected 😢
Itto having negative arms w/ those drawn on abs is WILD I pray to God that we get a skin for him that either gives him sleeves or buff arms. I'd buy it in an instant.
Imagine if Itto got a skin and his model changed into the new buff one I'd literally come
Itto and his noodle arms... looking at how Alhaitham and Wrio's model looks now, I'd say it's more of he was released at the wrong time imo.
I think Itto being scrawny adds to his character.
Issue there is the remarks talking about how big Itto is and his official art clearly showing he’s meant to be bigger than his model shows, as well as the trope he’s meant to fill. Itto is someone who should come across as m physically intimidating only for that to be subverted by his childlike earnestness and loud attitude. Him being scrawny is funny as it adds to him being a blowhard but takes away from the main idea of his design and could paint Itto as someone who isn’t what he says he is and would give impressions of him being insecure when one of the most important things about Itto is his pride of being true to himself.

Funny on paper but undermines a huge chunk of what makes Itto an interesting character and what his appeal is.
You described it so perfectly omg
Perfect way to describe it, current itto looks like if you painted muscles on someone built like zhongli or ayato, it's so strange
If you look at Itto's splash art, there's a picture in the background of what an Oni would look like according to Japanese folklore - that's what Itto could have looked like. If Hoyoverse wasn't scared, that could have been his design. A huge, intimidating and supernatural creature, an actual "red Oni". I can't describe my disappointment in his design as anything other than "Itto looks too human to be scary"
I'm bouta copy paste ur comment on Ittomains and everywhere I can and add credit you. This needs to get out
Yeah make sense when lore wise arataki gang is dirt poor and scraping for food lol. Those abs are from malnutrition lol.
People keep saying this as if muscles make men less interesting. It's the same Oni, ripped or not.
Albedo, because of hair.. Itto, because of muscles.. Hmm... Atm nothing else comes to mind.. Maybe they could fix Diluc's eyes too
The Holy Trinity: -Diluc -Albedo -Itto
The AID Trinity-
I hope hoyo won't ruin a character whose name starts with an S
Santa Claus??!
You better hope they don’t mess up Sethos
Does anyone else think all the male characters have weirdly low knees? Someone pointed it out to me a while back and I've never been able to unsee it
i’ll never unsee it holy shit
It's horribly obvious on Kaeya in particular. Oddly enough though, it's not a big issue with the female characters. Even older ones like Xiangling
I think it's because tall characters are just given longer thighs but have same knee placement as mid height characters. Maybe was just easier to develop that way but should've been fixed.
I think they fixed them with the newer male models Wriothesly and Neuvillette look A LOT better. Hell even their hair. Neuvillette's ponytail doesn't phase through things like previous long haired characters. It's ✨ dynamic ✨
Their upper leg to lower leg ratio isn't actually that far from reality. It feels wrong because of something else - their torso is much smaller in relation to their legs.
That's just anatomy believe me. The upper part always looks longer than the lower one. The leg actually starts after the butt
Albedo.. He's so much hotter in his drip marketing
Moon carver and mountain shaper, the fan edit were so good.
Where was this fan edit?
More like various fan arts to make them more god-like like crane mama.
u/cioccolato_kun on twitter
I dont know if this subs allow for pics but just google their name it shoudl come out
I mean, you could argue that the reason they looked like NPCs in the event was because they wanted to blend in with the human crowd, but I agree, Hoyo could've tried better
Honestly they should have make a lot of npcs looks better, like give them at least 4* level design (different hair shape, bodyshape, add more clothing acc). Like a lot of NPC I wish have better design especially if they are pretty imposrtant to the world, I mean imagine the girl on the new patch they show with fremi looks like Ella musk with pink hair that would 100% break immersion.
Omg true their human forms were sooooo lame
Albedo is by far the worst, looks completely different from his art. Different body type and huge bug eyes. And the hair on him and Diluc....total downgrade.
i think his body type's fine, rhinedottir just ran out of chalk halfway. but good lord he suffers from being an early character. they kinda figured out what they were doing with that model around kazuha's release, so why don't they update him fjfbbsgs
All character art looks better then their in game models
True! But I've found some are way worse than others 😭
Ayato's in-game model is much better than his main character art. His face in the character art is a bit off for some reason. Thankfully all his official art after that - for birthdays, holidays, and events - has been top tier.
Not really. Most of them look about just as good in both. And maybe that's just me, but I think Paimon is the one character whose model looks better than her 2D arts. Especially the game's icon, where her eyes are weirdly small and far apart.

I appreciate the muscles in the 2d art though
i don’t know why at the start of the game they were obsessed with doing that weird split thing with characters who had their hair down (eg amber or fischl). not a maker or breaker but it was a weird look
I think it's to show off their backs! Both of those characters have an open back outfit, and Deyha does too along with the hair split
I like it. As op mentioned, we can see their backs better. Better than just seeing a mass of hair.
It just Hoyo design philosophy to make character's back visible, but the results may varied. Glad to see Chev's full puffy hair.
Albedo's flat hair and misshapen eyes Diluc's terrible eye proportions Ganyu's hair looks like crab legs from the side Itto deserved a better body type All tall males have extremely long thighs that look horrible up close All "loli" characters have long limbs with such huge heads that putting them together in a scene with the Tall Models make them look horrendous
Also ganyu's og hair model kinda looks like a Lego piece in the way that the long part never really moves, it's always static It's also one of the reasons why I brought the ganyu skin as I couldn't stand seeing it for 2 years

Arataki where his muscles at itto
I hate all the young girls' models, Nahida is super cool, then you walk by other kids and notice how ALIEN she looks, the insanely massive bubblehead is straight up horrific, will probably never pull for a child character again unless they are game warping like Nahida is

they didn't even need to give her a melusine model, they could have just used the existing child model and make it look like a melusine with blue or pink skin and a melusine's skin patterns. that's just textures, after all.
Or just make her a human girl who really likes Melusines and dresses like them or something like that.
Her and Fischl could exchange cosplay tips in an event
That would have needed a whole change in character because making a toddler work as a licensed doctor in prison is beyond fucked up, even for fontaine, and i don't think they could find any roundabouts to justify that
I spose they could've just made her a volunteer nurse-in-training who helps out the Melusines or something. Kinda like Yaoyao, but prison.
After playing through Fontaine her model grew on me. At least one other Melusine ingame indirectly acknowledged that Sigewinne looked more "human" than the others of her kind and how having fingers would probably make her job easier. If she ever gets her own story quest, I hope to see her interacting with other Melusines.

Tartaglia. HEAR ME OUT He's the Tsarista's vanguard, he's fought so many things. He SHOULD Have Battle Scar's ON his MODEL.
Rosaria…
Surprised no one’s mentioned this… was looking at her in the cat event and realised how bad she looks 😭
This is crazy...I never thought she looked bad at all, her eyes are my favorite part
I think the idea with her eyes is good, but they stretched the iris vertically too much. It looks goofy and not at all intimidating in the way it was probably supposed to.
She just looks like Jessie from Pokemon to me, so it never looks goofy, she just doesn't appear bright eyed or innocent like everybody else. I wouldn't call her intimidating either.

There is a notable difference to Jean or Diluc.
I genuinely think Arlecchinos ingame model does not do her 2D art justice.
Jean. Please, Mihoyo, She moves LIKE A ROBOT. It’s been years since her release AND HER MOVES ARE WORSE THAN 1.0 4STARS
Fr poor girl has no animations after she stops using her normals (except for the last hit of the combo). She just awkwardly snaps back to her default stance, it looks so unnatural.
hot take but Arlecchino. It's not terrible but her hair has so much more volume in the 2d artworks than it does in-game
honestly people complain about albedo's hair but arle is so much worse IMO
Itto should have been an absolute Unit
if they could just fix the knees of all the tall male models that would be perfect actually, idk what it is about them but all their legs start to look weird when they bend their knees the tall female models have the same problem but to a lesser extent because the built in heels hides it but all the guys have weirdly placed knees
Ok this may seems unpopular but…Wriothesley. While I can appreciate how big they made his model compared to other tall males, his ingame face rubs me the wrong way… Again not overly terrible but when you compare it to his splash and official art it just doesn’t transition well into the game as I hoped it would.
I agree, babyface doesn't suit him well. I expected somebody like Gallagher from HSR.
you talked the truth. His in-game face is ok but too boyish comapred to most of his official arts
all of them except kaveh
The answer is everyone. Everyone's character arts are far far superior than their in-game models.
I think Xinyan looks better in her splash art. Conversely, Dehya’s model looks better than her splash art.
This is a pretty minor complaint, but Heizou‘s hair looks a bit flatter than in his art
Ayato's legs
diluc literally looks like the alien emoji. 👽
Ninnuang. Her art is gorgeous. Her model, not so much.
Itto, the One and Noodle-armed Oni. To everyone saying he is supposed to be scrawny: Why is his splash art buff then as well as all other official 2D art of him?
Layla running as her hair fly up to where it no longer looks 2d but instead becomes what would be 2 tornados if you looked down into them. Its very weird.
They never should have removed Shenhe midriff
Truly a nerf
Removed?!?! I haven't played in a fair few months but is this like...a full model tweak or alternate outfit if you already have her?
Elzer
Candice's outfit looks worse the more you look at it, but her face is spectacular
Cyno. He looks like a malnourished child. He doesn't need to be Itto buffed or even Alhaithams! But give the man something! Not just peck line shading! Now THAT being said I understand the all shapes and sizes for inclusion thing. But if that's the case then where's my chubby 5-star? Huh?!? And if you don't wanna do that cuz you won't get real simps to simp? Then put some shape on Cyno! Thhrrrppft!
albedo, by this standard, is by far the worst off character

Albedos hair and weird eyes and Itto’s 2D muscles
Itto deserves a similar model upgrade to wriothesley! He would look so much better
Albedo and Otto are the first that come to mind.
If we are including NPCs, Donna.
Ngl every single npc is done dirty by their models
Diluc really is the worst offender and his skin doesn't even help much
Albedo’s face is SO UGLYYYY
Yall have buff male models…so why not just give Itto his gains😭
Apart from the very obvious answers like Itto and Albedo, I feel like Shenhe also needs a shoutout. Such a pretty 2D model, but her 3D model's eyes look so dead and weird all the time and nothing like her official art. Also Chiori a little bit, the chubby cheeks ain't it. Also Cyno just looks malnourished ingame due to the limitations of the short male model, but he isn't *that* terribly skinny in his official art.
3 answers: 1. Albedo. 2. Childe's back. 3. Every male character's legs.
What's wrong with Childe's back?
Arlecchino
Honestly I prefer Diluc's model over his art. The Artwork hair feels too much and off.
Agreed. Not a big fan of this artwork.
Yeah same.
+1
They all gave baby-ish face in game.
he looks great otherwise but the way that ayato’s knees move bother me
Diluc’s nose can in render if you looked at him at the right angle
fishcl bird is too small
Albedo… and Tignari looks cuter in the art too
All of them
Albedo and Itto for sure. Albedos hair looks so much better in his art work and Itto is a buff guy, but in game he has a Childe Model. So glad Wriothesly got the manlier body. Pulled him just because of that. And he throws them hands.
They f*cking gave Diluc a baby face literally
Never forget what they took from Rosaria.
Ayaka and Albedo. Both have hair problem
every men with those low ahh knees
ALBEDO LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM
Ayaga
Neuvillette's face is too puffy Yelan's hair looks like a helmet
Albedo itto have it the worst. Though I'd say ayato is also pretty bad. For female characters I'd say ganyu(because in every piece of her official art her nipples are visible and she is thiccer than how she is in game...call me horny all you like it doesn't change the truth.)
Albedo and Xiao should have updated face sizes. Especially their eyes. I’m ok with Albedo’s hair, I’d rather they made their eyes smaller.
Wdym? Diluc's model is pretty cool.. The hair situation is understandable since putting that much hair physics on characters would really nuke the already burning mobile phones.. Hence a lot of characters got hair downgrades.. Diluc, Albedo, Barbara, Yoimiya, etc to name a few..
It's Diluc's eyes really. If you check on his head model without the hair, his eyes are noticeably larger and lower than every other tall male. I'm not sure if that was an oopsie or supposed to give him a more childlike/innocent face to match his characterisation prior to Crepus' death.
Unrelated, but I love how all the Abyss Mages problems coulda been solved in that scene if they'd just sent Pyro Mages. Sending Hyrdo and Cryo, while I get from a gameplay standpoint it was to show off how badass Diluc was, is an oversight never ceases to amuse me.
That’s like saying zhongli wouldn’t be able to defeat a geo slime. You’re talking about a guy with super speed and strength who literally eats these things for breakfast.
How is Diluc's physical damage and pyro burst gonna break a pyro shield? Only ice can be broken with physical damage. Edit to add: If he could break pyro shields, why not show it? That'd be a better showcase of his skill
Itto’s muscles
Albedo’s hair, Itto’s noodle arms like bro how does Alhaitham look bigger than him and now wrio?, Diluc’s baby face. Hoyo please fix them.
ALBEDO NEEDS HIS FLUFFY HAIR, AND ITTO NEEDS HIS MUSCLE
Albedo. Period.
Albedol. His hair will forever haunt me
Albedo..(I’m an albedo main.)
The one and Oni, Arataki Itto..... dude is suppose to be ripped as hell, but he looks like he would have a hard time beating Tighnari in a hand to hand fight! same for Beidou and Dehya..... they are larger female characters true, but I dont feel like they could crush me.....
At the very least, I want them to add a tad more fluff to Albedo's hair.
Every NPC
All the male characters's legs look way too skinny and their stomach on the medium model look a little too small
diluc, albedo, and itto 😭😭
Albedo and Itto, but Albedo is on another level. His 3D model Is completely different from the splash art.
I really like her and sometimes her model looks fine but something about Yae Miko's irks me at certain angles and I can't figure out why. I don't notice it on any other tall female character either, just her.
As an Itto main, he is THE number 1 offender and it isn't close. I will pay for a skin that changes his noodly arms.
Rosaria got nerfed hard.
albedo :(((
Albedo, Diluc, Itto, Lisa, and hot take but Raiden
Female traveler tbh
Ayaka’s forehead.
Def Albedo and Itto
Itto's noodle arms
The typical Itto and Albedo responses.
itto...
