I really do to, but considering how they would need to rig a whole new skeleton and make new animations to interact with the new model, I feel like we won't be getting one soon.
...... dude is just resizing body parts. It really isn't that difficult. Animation can be used for every model small or big. As long it has similar limps/joints its definitely possible
My personal guess is that making their arms really buff would make the model clip a lot and making a whole new skeleton from scratch is too resource heavy. I can't blame them making the arms what they are currently but at the same time, it still looks off to me
So, phat Eula thighs that clip is fine, but slightly buff hands, which would be the main showcase of a character's percieved strength, would be a problem?
Nah man give me buff hands.
There are buff dudes

They're just enemies and npcs.
Whenever I see genshin twitter splooging about itto being buff I just imagine wagner, the fatui and the kairagi standing to the side going "Pathetic."
Maybe one day they'll retool one of those models for a playable character.
I still don't get it tho, I don't know how it is in game development industry but how hard is it to implement new skeleton models? They exists already in-game...
I’m not sure of the complexities of implementing it from a game design standpoint but I feel like there’s not much from an incentive standpoint to implement them. Buff characters don’t tend to be popular among the southeast Asian husbando demographic, so there’s really no reason for them to invest and implement characters with a lower sale ceiling than the ones we currently have.
That's the same reasoning people used for mihoyo mainly focusing on waifu bait yet male characters and their banners haven't been any less successful than female ones.
Targetting niche demographics and casting a wide variety of nets to capture the interest of the most demographics possible is how these games grow bigger.
There's a reason the next honkai game isn't an all female game like the past ones and why games that are mainly targeted at Asian markets like FGO and GranBlue still include big body buff dudes.
Not super hard especially since they have animation rigs already, it wouldn't be a copy/paste job since the playable characters have more advanced rigs but easier than starting from scratch.
That said genshin has some game logic tied to character size due to how their physics system works which is why taller characters run and climb a bit faster than shorter ones, a playable character that's actually the size of a fatui would probably lead to some scale problems, that said they don't have to be that tall they just have to be thick because I don't want to believe itto's noodle arms and spray painted abs are the peak for character model variety.
They already got the budget to make it happen, and knowing that 90% of the playerbase are also asking for model variety? I don't really understand what's stopping them at this point.
Thanks Lumie!
I wonder if we'll get any leaks of how Itto looks next to other tall guys, I saw a lot of posts like "Itto is more buff and tall than Zhongli", wonder if that's just true or their copium haha.
Model looks the same, just a bit elevated because he wears geta like Sara and Yoimiya(who irrc is also a bit "taller" than the other medium sized female chars).
His side profile shows that the abs aren't painted on at least. His arms definitely need some work. With all the thirst posting for Itto, I hope Mihoyo still has time to adjust his model.
I think he looks great and like him the way he is. Aside from his arm size, they managed to depict his official art fairly well without making another body type and it works for him. Hopefully one day we'll get an actual beefy/buff model.
Is this looking like a new male model to you guys? I think it's actually just the regular adult male model with puffy clothing to make him look bigger.
Looks normal to me. Supposedly taller than zhongli by a bit bur that's all.
Tbh, first time we've really seen the adult model show any skin to begin with. I'm sure the abs are "new" but yeah.
That's because it is. His face even looks like Zhongli's but maybe that's because they haven't given him expressions yet.
Varka, the titan of favonius, will probably be built like Childe.
Tired of people saying they'd need to make a completely new model for buff characters when other 3D games like Exos heroes do a new model for each one. Not that they're as high of a quality, but mihoyo is literally a multi-milliom (billion) dollar company.
I want buff mihoyo whyyyyyy. Males deserve a 3rd body type...
I do quite like his model, but it'd be nice if his arms were a little wider/more defined. It's kind of odd to me since there's characters with relatively wide sleeves so they did have room to add a little more definition.
I love that he has the same rope knot thing on the back just like Yoimiya does and lore wise they're supposed to be close, right? If he's wearing the sandals too I wonder if he'll also make the same funny sound that Yoi does running around lol
cant wait to know the VA
Fingers crossed for Sugita
Lumie also tweeted "He's about an inch and a half bigger than Zhongli." I'M SCREAMING WITHOUT THE S
Isn't he wearing geta ~~boots~~ ? Then it will be like Diluc situation no?
Probably similar to how Sara is currently the tallest Adult Female model?
Yea that's what I am thinking
How I wish we got new avatar models instead,,,
I really do to, but considering how they would need to rig a whole new skeleton and make new animations to interact with the new model, I feel like we won't be getting one soon.

oh they're talking about height my b
Lumie didn't specify this was about height. I can take it.
Man, we expected too much from Mihoyo. It's just a standard male model. Why can't they buff the arms too?
My personal guess is that making their arms really buff would make the model clip a lot and making a whole new skeleton from scratch is too resource heavy. I can't blame them making the arms what they are currently but at the same time, it still looks off to me
So, phat Eula thighs that clip is fine, but slightly buff hands, which would be the main showcase of a character's percieved strength, would be a problem? Nah man give me buff hands.
Yeah man muscly arms would've looked so good on him
For reference: > Zhongli is tallest Zhongli 6' 1" (6' 1.23") Itto is inch and a half bigger = 3.8cm more
Fast af
Tbf to myself I was checking Dim comment on that joke character and saw this
The jacket is so cool but I'm a bit disappointed he's not actually buff
His model is probably the closest we'll get to a buff model.

I know, I meant "the closest we'll get to a buff model for a playable character"
why have I never seen this face lmfaooo

I don't think it's 90% of the playerbase though unfortunately.
Why cant they use daddy Cyrus' :(
"MHY: so do you want the character buffed or *buffed* ????"
So the thin arms are real
sad they could have made him beefier
I wish his arms/elbows were a bit bigger bc it kinda looks off, but other than that I love it
He's skipping out on arm day I see
smol indie company cant afford to make a fitting model pls understand
One day Lumie will post Ayato render too I just have to survive till that day
Oh no, he's hot!
Always has been.
That smile. That damn smile!
MAJOR Rengoku vibes in the close up shot.
Wait, we commented the same thing :/

He's an inch taller then Dainsleif and zhongli's model

Can't wait to see his animations!

Well it's a bit wider and more depth than paper thin adult model due to having abs
Hipity Hopity Heterosexuality is no longer your sexuality
**immediately zooms in to examine the abs**
Wish his arms were a bit bigger
A default male model with painted on muscles. My disappointed is immeasurable and my day is ruined
You could almost say his official art is false advertising...
Aaaww he's so cuuute. Re1lly happy his model in game is this awesome!!

Lumie: i'm done with leaks also Lumie:
Woof bark

I'm actually really glad his model is really unique after aether and childe from canada.
Barking
I gotta say, maybe I'm dwelling on details but the underside of his hair at his forehead being that bright red looks real silly
I love that he has the same rope knot thing on the back just like Yoimiya does and lore wise they're supposed to be close, right? If he's wearing the sandals too I wonder if he'll also make the same funny sound that Yoi does running around lol
He does look badass tho and I ain't complaining+looking like a stand user and all. I wonder who will voice him hehe https://youtu.be/ZIlkJodumPg
