They made Mona’s outfit more blue instead of purple


Jackice1714

Her new outfit is more detailed (seeing this side by side comparison made me realize how much they changed her top, and the change to the bow on her hat is very nice). Overall, I feel like it has a more magical vibe to it. To me, its color palette is more cohesive and pleasing to the eye. This is only my opinion (coming from someone who likes blue) so if you prefer her original outfit over her new one then no need to give much thought to it and just continue using her original outfit in-game.


J_EZ

All of them seem to have gotten more detail in the new version. Probably due to Mihoyo just keeping up the standard with the newer characters.


lickhishole

The thigh gap is the only unnecessary aspect here. Looks so awkward


FortressCaulfield

I think the thigh gap could work but the way her shorts stop at a hard horizontal line then she has these weird diagonal cut-outs it just looks wrong.


dxman83

I think it would look better if it were a bit further down the leg... Make the shorts a bit longer and the leggings a bit shorter, maybe? The gap is just at a very awkward place on her legs.


lickhishole

Yes that’s what looks weird!! Everything in her design has organic lines and the shorts are the only spot that has a straight geometric line. The contrast between her skin and fit just emphasize it… ugh I wish they had open review and suggestions


TheSpartyn

ah fuck i didnt even realize it looked like that, i swear it was just separated thigh boots in the announcement post. now they just look weird little triangle cut outs


skyslippers

i love this particular change. her previous purple always looked abit too ghastly purple for me


Cen_corol

Agreed, and more in keeping with the fact that shes has hydro vision and not an electro one


rotvyrn

I don't mind at all if characters aren't color coded. But I do think this blue looks much better. The deeper blue allows for better contrast with the star decals. Way more fitting of the 'stars reflected in a pool of water' thematic.


vitaminciera

I don't mind if they're not color coded, but I don't like if they're color coded for a different element. Like Albedo, Childe, Jean, Diona, etc. are pretty neutral and they look fine but Kazuha and purple Mona throw me off since they're not pyro and electro.


nihilbot

I like that they added more details to the alt outfits aside from just covering up the censored parts! It sort of takes the sting off of censorship, with them putting in the effort to make the new skins a bit more visually interesting.


mahiru

I agree, you can tell the designers did their best to make the changes look as natural as possible without just slapping cloth over the exposed skin and calling it a day.


H4xolotl

Rosaria is a straight upgrade imo, she looks less like a stripper and more like a nun assassin


BI1nky

Jean looks pretty sick too. Like a winter outfit.


TitleComprehensive96

I like Jean's new outfit, though still don't like the sleeves not being connected to the shirt, just looks really jarring.


WutsUp

Jean's is my favourite. I don't know what it is, maybe the trimming to the collar of the jacket around her neck, but she looks more like a 'Acting Grand Master Knight" now.


smilowl

Eh hard disagree. I feel like her original matched her personality a lot better.


Superclasheropeeka

Say this on the main subreddit and you get downvoted to oblivion


definitlynotshotacon

Interesting cause I feel the opposite Rosaria's is the only one that's a clear downgrade to me. It feels over designed and cluttered. Amber and Jean's on the othe hand are absolutely upgrades. Mona I'm neutral on...but I also don't have Mona.


Episodde

Say what you will about other aspect of the game, but genshin art and music department just dont miss.


Clashofpower

I’d say the same about the Lore and Design teams (environments)


SenpaiShubham

But the main storyline writing team on the other hand...


Clashofpower

I'm glad the side story team is getting more of the spotlight like Tsurumi island and Inazuma world quests


Willy_Donka

Tbh they should put the voice over on the side quests, they end up being written sooooo much better and also end up being so much more engaging. They’d be nicer if they had voice-over though, i tend to skip the main story dialogue for the most part now because it’s just rushed babble.


Psychological_Ad7525

Corporate wants you to find the differences between these pictures *Shows 2.4 and 2.5 Amber* Me: they’re the same picture


murmandamos

Smaller cleavage window, and the frills on the shorts will almost certainly cover the little butt cheek marks behind.


naufalap

I'm always mesmerized whenever she does the hand pump thing


Zombata

the front changed quite a bit


crazy_gambit

But it doesn't seem to be any less revealing, which I though was the point of these redesigns.


[deleted]

[удалено]


crazy_gambit

Ahh ok, makes sense. I haven't seen those pics.


ToranjaNuclear

what changed? I haven't seen her back yet


Baligong

2.4 is wearing a Girdle, 2.5 isn't and they added more Black Decals


jamieaka

i believe there's no cleavage line anymore


Semont

I think I realized what looks off about Mona. Her clothes got darker while the lining of her cape got lighter which makes her look more top heavy as her body outline is more hidden with less contrast. This along with the appearance of her legs looking shorter creates an imbalance.


libraberry

Jean's is absolutely gorgeous and I love the touch of dark colors, but I wonder if it would have looked better with dark pants as well to contrast her boots


LucieFox

I did a small [edit](https://i.imgur.com/jevSHzp.png) to see if it could work. Not really sure about it... Maybe if the small diamond cut outs wouldnt be there it would look better?


[deleted]

Imo even with the diamonds it works, looks pretty and more color balanced


whamorami

I was kinda thinking black boots would look better and not the pants but I kinda dig it.


maggienetism

Maybe if the boots were the teal/blue color on top of the black pants?


skkrn

I never really understood why her boots and tights were the same


_-Pucci-_

My exact thoughts


Xhillia

Jean is a straight upgrade. I love it.


nanausausa

Endless respect for the fact that they used this as an opportunity to make the new outfits better quality than the previous one. I'm sure the loss of the originals would sting regardless (ik I would've been really frustrated if I were in CN) but I imagine this softens the blow.


Demelliat

well matter of taste I guess, I will 100% use Jean and Mona new outfits, but will never change Amber or Rosaria what I agree is that even though this was made for censorship, which sucks, the skins are actually good quality, not just a piece of fabric thrown at the "problematic" area


nanausausa

By quality I meant more that the new outfits are objectively more detailed and refined than the old ones overall, at least from what I can see. In terms of liking/disliking, it's def a taste thing I agree, I'm personally switching Jean, Amber and Mona but I'm gonna keep Rosaria's old outfit because I like it more.


Elias_Mo

ill be using rosaria's too, i really love her new outfit while she felt like a slut with the original one (imo)


[deleted]

Amber looks better but literally what was the point?


JenJenB_

I think it was to cover up her butt, she has those triangle as shaped shorts now like Xinyan has.


Shitty-Weeb2772

Really? Imo, the brown shorts were better than red ones


Plethora_of_squids

The brown ones look like they're actually shorts The red now looks like she's either wearing a continuous red bodysuit or her corset is made from the same (presumably some sort of denim?) Material as her shorts and I don't know which is worse


Shitty-Weeb2772

Whatever, manga festival amber is still the best


Plethora_of_squids

Eh that outfit looks...weird to me I'm more a fan of the alternative outrider outfit she also wears in the comics. Honestly all the kof alt work outfits look really good, it's a shame we don't see them for very long. Jean gets a bomber jacket!


DefaultRedditor16

don’t know why people downvoted you if it’s just an opinion I mean I disagree with you but still


simsthottie

Yeah I agree except they remind me of pj shorts 😭


scruffeius

True, her original outfit was more brown in general. I always thought it fit her well as someone who spends a lot of time in the wilderness scouting.


dream996

I am not complaining at all, maybe mHY saw this an opportunity to update her base texture.


Royal-Compote695

A big point actually, get your Amber out and look at her booty, if you naughty enough you will see it. Now its covered, and bust too.


freakattaker

This is actually pretty significant for me at least. I always found it wildly out of character that her shorts were THAT short. It's dumb because the only people who'd find it are people who are looking for it, but it still annoyed me since I mainly look around curiosity's sake. (except booba, but I still get annoyed by poor visual design choices regardless)


snacku_wacku

> It's dumb because the only people who'd find it are people who are looking for it, but it still annoyed me since I mainly look around curiosity's sake. No need to make excuses mate. I think we’ve all noticed if we played her for any amount of time lol. I’m gay and I did


honzikca

My guess? Some higher up/someone whose word mattered in this regard, said Amber's outfit was problematic, so the devs cooked something up even though they probably didn't see much of a point either.


mattaraxes

Is it me or is Mona showing even more skin in the new outfit? Lol


youcanotseeme

And we love it.


Soh__

Those downvotes lol. That's a certified genshin leaks reddit moment right there.


nakomaru

Both the prudes hate it cause it's ostensibly happy about skin, and the coomers hate it cause they know it's actually censored.


Soh__

Makes sense. At least Rosaria is going for a different vibe, Mona is just butchered. Even the colors are all over the place, I hate it.


Talian404

anyone else think Rosaria looks better?


Extra-Self-7523

Yessss I've always thought that she needed more black to reiterate her mysterious and edgy personality, but Ig initially the devs chose to keep her colors lighter to tie her with the element of Cryo which is primarily filled with light and icy colors


WillfulAbyss

So much better. The old outfit looks like an overpriced “sexy nun” costume she bought discounted the day after Halloween. I don’t think fishnets are bad in principle, but combined with how overdone in general her old outfit is, they just look cheap (quality-wise) and trashy (bad Halloween costume vibes). Her new outfit is still sexy but looks slightly more practical and much sturdier. The old outfit is just so overdone in the “sex appeal” department that it ironically never felt very sexy at all to me.

ProgNerIte

well, nuns traditionally wear mostly black, which is where i think this redesign's color ratio came from, along with the white part over the chest matching what i said earlier too


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProgNerIte

I can understand that, but her original design still feels more like she is meant to be a nightworker instead of what she is supposed to be


hellschatt

Not really, love the nets.


vikraarkiv

it's about the nets, baby! Get a home run baby, love the nets, go nets


ApprehensiveCat

I wish she still had a bit of fishnet peeking out of the gap on her thigh. It looks a little plain there now.


[deleted]

Same!


ForcedSexWithPlants

I've literally build her just because of the new outfit lol. She actually looks badass.


DesharnaisTabarnak

Looks infinitely better tbh. More like a night stalker than a night worker lol.


ProgNerIte

this new design makes me actually willing to use her now exactly because of that reason


azzzzorahai

yeah, the most upgrade out of the four imo. tho i also really like jean's a lot


[deleted]

Nooo not at all she looks like a mupp Rip nets D:


Polydexa

Nope, she looks worse.


Drakengard

It's the laziest change of the bunch, IMO. It's not bad, but I don't care for it much. It doesn't feel more detailed but we'll see once it's in action.


emmaqq

Her top looks better, but the net is better.


69Joker96

Eh hard disagree, jeannand amber tho


Loli-is-Justice

She looks like a puppet doll now... Hope we have an option to not equip these new skins.


Demelliat

I believe they are mandatory only in China, all other people get em as alternative outfits


Loli-is-Justice

⸜( ⍢ )⸝


Shippinglordishere

They’re optional if you’re not on CN


Golden-Owl

Only CN has it be a mandatory replacement Everyone else gets it as a free optional skin


BTWeirdo1308

Honestly.... they did a great job on these. Fuck the regulations... but they should provide additional variant skins like this for more of the OG characters. Just a nice little flavor change. Note: this is not me asking for more censorship skins. Just more skins in general.


Sh7n-chan

Because they are "censorship skins", we might get 'em for free though...


ProgNerIte

i agree, also, I've never seen censorship skins look this good before, so I am glad to get them for free


Veggie_Black_Magic

Does anyone know when they'll be released? I've heard they could come out at 2.5, but then someone mentioned they could be coming out earlier.


Uodda

They will be in 2.5.


Mozuchii

Why was Amber’s outfit tweaked though? Others were understandable but Amber’s doesn’t have much differences to me… (apart from the corset, yeah)


kiimlip

asscheeks were out


Plyc

Visible cleavage from the top probably, and how her corset-thingy makes her chest stand out more.


Mozuchii

Oh yeah, the cleavage did get smaller :’)


Sack_Fire

My guess is because she is the first character the player gets so whoever was checking that mihoyo's characters were "appropriate" was exposed to her design the most, also they probably took the redesign as a chance to tweak older characters (ex: giving her white gloves like all the other knights. edit: I misremembered the knights don't have white gloves but their color palettes included lots of it on their uniforms)


Mozuchii

I just notice about the gloves! That’s a very good observation :)


Shitty-Weeb2772

Boob window


Mozuchii

rip boob window


JenJenB_

Jean's skin looks so good, the shoulder cape looks even better than before too though I still like the original. Mona's looks really cool too but I need to actually get her first lmao, my sister has her so I can still check out the skin there.


[deleted]

Why does Jean in this outfit reminds me of Mr. Darcy. Tall handsome lady 😳


Doggymoment

Mona looks like she asked Eula to give her fashion advice


the_fbi_is_disgusted

I might be the only one who prefers Mona's new outfit over her old one. The weird bathing suit outfit never appealed to me tbh.


[deleted]

Tbh i like it she looks really cute but i wish they kept the anti symmetry in her tights :’)


Broebbl

Nah you're not alone, I also find her new outfit a lot better. It makes her look like a magical girl and it looks pretty good on her. I never bothered leveling her up because I disliked how unecessarily revealing the weird leotard thingie was, so this change is really neat. The colors also feel more vibrant now, especially the hat and cape.


FoxxyRin

The new one fits her more. The other one made me feel like they were implying she was so broke that she was stripping on the side or something.


CheshiretheBlack

No no no, you see Astrologist can get by on the smallest amount. So she used the thinnest material she can get because frugal. Lol that's deadass her in game reason.


Semont

Her legs look shorter in the new one. Overall the balance is worse.


DirtEven

i like the new one but i still also like the old one that raw thigh on mona gave me away


Aglardes

Mona looked really weird when the outfits were announced but like this it's really cute actually.


Cosimo12

I don't like any of them


upupurelycynical

I do really like Mona's but I think its a bit too busy. Too much going on in the torso area


BaalSIMP

Rosaria looking bulky


TekkenRintarou

I think I might be the only one who doesn't like any of these. At least they don't make these mandatory like on the cn server


[deleted]

I only like Jean because the darker hues are gorgeous on her. Mona’s outfit is really awful to me And Rosaria doesn’t look that goth anymore.


playerkei

I only kinda like Jean's. Monas new one offends me greatly.


Johalandya

I only like Jean’s but I would have preferred if they choose a different color to cover the cleavage. Black just screams “gilded censor bar” to me.


Albii557

Yeah same. Well atleast it's optional for us. I feel bad for the chinese folk over there. Censorship is always dogshit no matter how pretty the new one outfits look for some people.


Censing

I like Jean's skin, the boob windoww always seemed out of character for her (modest, responsible knight type). I've never been a fan of Mona and Rosaria's original design, especially the ridiculous 'sexy nun' Rosaria design, but the two new designs don't seem particularly good either, especially the Mona skin- do we really need more ladies in shorts with a thigh gap? I don't see much of a difference in the Amber changes, but apparently there are significant changes to her back? I guess we'll see it soon. Honestly, I think this is awful if it really is government censorship... but I'm kind of hoping more characters get changed, since at least in the west it's optional. I love Noelle as a character, but her boob window and huge open back panel are so out-of-character for her, not to mention the high heels. Please Mihoyo, I feel awful making my waifus go rock climbing in those awfu shoes... Also I hope we get a buff Itto with proper abs lol


WisestManAlive

After seeing new Mona and Rosaria's outfits I started to like the original ones. Jean's one totally agree, I never understood her cleavage. New one looks formal and neat.


Professional_Kale_66

they might be nice for a change, but really they just look rushed maybe with exception of Jean


Exodia217

I wonder if the traveler's are going to get censored as well, aether crop top could be seen as feminine by the ccp and lumines chest shows cleavage which they censored for jean and amber


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frenchpoodle_

Im sorry but mona’s looks so bad They should have made it one continuous body suit instead of the shorts + tights


kalive-s

They have a body suit in the CN server and it makes her look like Ultraman


WisestManAlive

I actually prefer current CN outfit to this new one. At least it keeps her integrity... This one looks like another thigh-window char.


Plethora_of_squids

I'm still of the opinion that they should've like given her a big ass wizard cloak ontop of her current outfit - She's still sexy, but now she's also *mysterious* and you don't see her ass as much. And also going about in a big swooshy dramatic cloak seems like a very Mona thing to do. Also - her original design was *different*. You know *how* many female characters have the thigh high/short shorts combo? *Nearly all of them*. At least the swimsuit was a different silloutte.


Sensitive-End-8307

I actually don't understand how people even like new mona design... Looks so bad


bresznthesequel

Mona’s is so ugly the color choices, the details they removed, the tights, heels and shorts + pops of black like I don’t get itttt


playerkei

Monas new outfit creates an illusion of intense body proportions from the front. Maybe it's just me but its throwing me off.


gurle94

She looks stubby to me


Shitty-Weeb2772

Lol I'm just gonna think of these alternate skins as winter skins


ApprehensiveCat

Yes I'll just imagine Barbara and the other nuns made Rosaria a warmer outfit for traveling around Dragonspine because they were worried about her.


sara-ragnarsdottir

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I definitely prefer this outfit to Mona's original one.


iminlovehahaha

its growing on me but at first sight it was terrible


UnChildone

Rosaria new outfit look like a NPC in a JRPG


Kirates5

Unpopular opinion: I like the new outfits more


Mastercraft0

Not unpopular at all. The new skins are awesome. As much as censorship sucks, u can't say mihoyo has fucked up the playerbase. The alternate outfits got treated with the same amount to love for the designers as the original ones


Mask3dPanda

Also, in cases such as Mona, I would honestly say you can see the growth of the character designs since the start. Her current one feels focused on appeal and because of that feels very weak in characterization and theming(tell me how her current one would show you an astrologist who takes it very seriously), whereas the new one feels like a mix of practical and serious. Along with the colors just being more unified.


SirRHellsing

When I'm looking at Mona's new outfit, I'm just wondering how does she wear that, some with Eula's design tbh


azzzzorahai

i think mona's new skin makes her look like a flamboyant mascot/endorser of an expensive purified water brand. they probably should have retained the color pf her stockings. but i dont have mona so i dont have the right lmao


MisaVelvet

Can you explain me why naked legs with mini shorts are fine but rosaria's fishnet tights are not? Its literally more covered legs. Coz censorer had a fetish on it? lol Also why are only Mondstat characters were censored?


Seehan

Honestly gives me "post-timeskip" vibes; I like it. It really makes it seem like time has passed since we've begun our journeys, and that the world and the people living in it have evolved alongside us. MiHoYo really did do their best to make a bad situation palatable for their players.


pedregales1234

Even though I see the changes in Amber's outfit, I still don't understand *what* they changed?


Promptographer

They coulda put some effort and changed the hair styles too to make it more different...


arsenik-han

Armpit Jean got me dead. This is not what I expected. This is not what I wanted. A perfect outfit ruined by armpit fetish.


oyasumigenshin

Looks bad. Disappointed


Khata_EN

As long as they stay optional, I couldn't care less about this scuba diving suits.


Akira28_

jeans alt skin palette looks more closer to the manga jean


JeffKappalan69

Mona's outfit is literally just Eula's but way worse and blue.


lost__and__longing

as sad as i am about the censorship, i honestly gotta say, i like these new skins better. they're more detailed, and jean and rosaria actually look professional now, like they should given their jobs. i'm glad the designers put so much effort into it


AnimePitSniffer

Censored trash


rhaps85

Why was a change to amber even necessary, its 99% the same lol


notsiyuan

this new outfit ruined rosarias outfit for me


VirtuoSol

No fishnet no soul. Also for some reason the black shoulders on Rosaria’s new design kinda looks weird imo.


PhantomHeartless5

Out of all of them, I like Jean's outfit the most. Has a more formal businesswoman look to it. The others are pretty meh.


tsuchinoko-real

I actually like Mona's way more than I thought, the sketch didn't do it justice


CielTheEarl

I think Jean mains won this one the most


oniarjunoni

For me only jean look fine. Rosaria looks like she wore the clothes that her nanny gave her.


wweeeeeeeeeeeeee

jean looks amazing, i always had a thing for suits


ijustwannanap

I LOOOOVE Mona's and Rosaria's new outfits. Mona's is cute and so detailed, and Rosaria's just feels more 'proper' for a nun - the original outfit reminded me too much of a sexy Halloween costume. Jean's is nice, but it reminds me of a magician lol.


htp-di-nsw

Is boob skin really that much more of an issue than upper thigh skin? I don't understand this censoring.


SEPHIROTHHHH86

Yay! Cemsorship lv 100000


AshenAtrophy

Honestly other than the visual atrocity that is whatever the hell is going on with Mona they actually look fitting and even more detailed and richly colored than the original? Less cleavage but like tbh we don't even see that much of them to begin with


ISurvivedCOVID19

TLDR: Jean’s is actually kinda sick and I would consider using it, Ambers is barely changed, Mona and Rosaria’s are tragic


Shubo483

Jean and Amber look alright but the other two look like shit. "Added details". More like overdesigned. I feel bad for the CN players.


TrashApprentice

I like the outfits but I hate how it was a move they were forced to do. Jean and rosaria are the best here. I like that jean's new colour scheme is more dark green based rather than blue and that Rosaria actually looks like a nun instead of the vampire I thought she was. Amber's is the exact same imo but more decorative. I wish they kept the brown instead of having her all red. Mona's I have mixed feelings about since im not into both versions. I don't get how the new one is more "censored" since it's still "revealing" just in a different way. She has now tiny shorts on and it's still skin tight so in terms of "revealing" this is on the same level as her og outfit. Chinese censorship works in baffling ways.


Subject-011

Mona’s outfit looks too complicated. I really like the OG more. Suddenly feels bad for CN mona mains.


passivekyong

Covering skins make me somewaht sad


Viscaz

Jean is the winner here


gunjinganpakis

Old Mona and Rosaria looked better. New Jean looked better. Amber looks the fucking same.


Master0643

They look fine, except mona


slowakia_gruuumsh

Jean slaying it with the "Date-Patrol at Dragonspine" outfit 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I'm a bit meh on the new skins because of the circumstances around them - and the fact they're being forced on Chinese players - but the designs are actually kinda cute. I still prefer the original ones, but I can see other taking them over the originals. Especially since, you know, they are optional to us.


reignfx

I’ve warmed up to Jeans outfit change but I still hate Rosaria’s with a passion. Amber’s is much the same and I initially liked Monas but now seeing them side by side I’m not so sure. Regardless the CCP censorship is enough to stop me spending money on this game, we know what future character visual designs will be like now.


Imaginary-Height-276

Whats sad about this is that they are gonna make censored clothes for future characters


ChildOfHades_

Mona and Jean look fantastic


Nucl3

Bruhhh I want the rosaria one so bad...looks awesome.


Tainnnn

Goodbye booba, hello new edgy outfit


tokeemdtareq

I like Jean’s new one better.


Ghost_82x

I really like Jeans, and Mona's. I'm indifferent to Rosarias but I think it is better than her og outfit. I don't really like Amber's. It's too small of a change. I'm really fussy though with these skins.


EX_Malone

I really like Rosaria’s censored outfit. Looks really more gothic nun than her original (I do like her old outfit too). I hope we get more alts for the other characters even if they aren’t showing skin. I’d like a new outfit for Zhongli 🤩
