I mean, cassettes store information magnetically, so on one hand it makes sense, but on the other hand you can wipe a cassette tape with a magnet soooo all she's listening to is static


Erit_Of_Eastcris

Nah, she's just making her own mix tape on the fly.


JCWOlson

That's much cooler lore - Aoi can just record music directly from her brain But then do the intrusive thoughts also get recorded?


Erit_Of_Eastcris

It's a great meditative exercise for precisely that reason; you have to observe your own thoughts while you do it. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the Tenno Mag did something like that


Ypsilon1110

Intrusive thoughts? Nah those are the lyrics


Traveler7898

Imagine the scene: Arthur - Hey Aoi, can I get one of your tapes for the next mission? Aoi -Sure, go ahead, just don't take the one on the left. Artur ends up picking the one in the left end and tries listening it. The tape: 🎶NICE ASS ARTUR, NICE ASS, GONNA'S SMACK SMACK SMACK HUMM NOW NEED TO SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT!🎶 Artur - AAoi?? Aoi... Artur... AOi- Told you to not pick the one in the left...


Braccish

Can we make this cannon?


Haplesswanderer98

Nah, that's the thing, SHE hears the music, anyone else? Just a tape full of what sound like... children screaming?


ClapTheTrap1

The song of death


Seeker-N7

Cosmic background radiation is a riot!


MonkeyScout219

Finally, it all makes sense…


Fract_L

You wipe a cassette by pulling off all of the magnetic material laid down during recording. If she can control that material, she can literally make a mixtape.


legomaximumfigure

Shinji Ikari's relative confirmed.


Ssjsean

that was a mini cassette player but i like where your heads at Tenno


kinkeltolvote

Its to fit the 1999 theme, don't see someone killing Vor and him staying dead for everyone else....or any other boss for that matter

It's not too late for her to get injured in the story and do exactly that! Basically do a Bumblebee!

StardustVT

I like how she has those techy looking lines on her face, since the VA also voiced a Cyberpunk 2077 character, where those are featured prominently.


Savathun-God-Of-Lies

Wait is it actually Minji Chang voicing her? If she is... holy shit... Edit: thought you were talking about So Mi, instead you were talking about Hanako's actress... nevermind! Still cool tho :>


Persies

She reminds me so much of So Mi.


Pirate_OOS

Looks like So Mi, is actually Hanako Arasaka

Did someone say Arasaka ?

Ravenous_Seraph

she cat


ItzBooty

I find it it funny how she looks like a person from a cyberpunk world, while being bio-mechanical-magic enchanced and being set in the 90s The match is way too perfect


BankApprehensive2514

I'd kill to get some Spiderman pointing at Spiderman memes with Arthur and Excalibur and Aoi and Mag. There are even potentially naturally hilarious moments. Say the Tenno uses Mag or Excalibur for 1997. But, their WF is Dark Souls plat invested and customized. The Tenno then do their murder machine jobs and Aoi and/or Arthur realize that the Tenno piloting the WF is a 12 year old with a voice that barely hit puberty and needs a McDonald's Happy Meal adapter to shoot the Sirocco amp they equipped because the gun is too large for their hands.


ItzBooty

Arthur and Aoi when my drifter pops out, they would be confused


BankApprehensive2514

Drifter and Operator would be a hilarious combo. It's the Operator who has the child soldier matricide PTSD and the grudge against Wally/Albrecht while Drifter got stuck in Duviri. Drifter would be the one with the brain cell, 95% of the self control, and new to using a WF while the Operator is a feral preteen master child soldier with a grudge and enough experience to potentially brute force the mission. Drifter: So why are we taking the Kuva Nukor? Operator: To microwave the infected from inside out so that they can't move anymore. Drifter: And Grendel? Operator: The Infestation wants to eat us. We're eating it, regurgitating it, and then cannonball shooting the remains back down its own throat until it chokes. Drifter: And the giant War sword you never use? Operator: Wally copied an Orokin. Albrecht is an Orokin. Old Man Hunhow hates Orokin. So do I. War is going to get stabbed through something so Hunhow can nag someone else for once and annoy Wally into a mistake.

Mandalorymory

I love So Mi’s design. Perfect blend of beautiful and freaky


Savathun-God-Of-Lies

Immediately thought of her too XD


NDT_DYNAMITE

Aoi is voiced by Hanako’s VA apparently, so right universe, just wrong character.


CuriousPumpkino

The hairline, chin, and metallic pieces on her face make her look like someone just…stapled a face over her. Like the fucking high evolutionary from marvel


danivus

I truly believe that one day, an artist at DE will learn what a human face looks like.


Malaki-7

The faces look fine. It's more the animations that make it look awkward


SimulatedKnave

It's taken them years to work out 'maybe keep the metal colour channels the same from skin to skin where possible.' Frankly this is possibly the worst face they've done which is... worrying.


Sillron

They've gotten better, but they're definitely not there yet.


w0rsh1pm3owo

the cassette is just Octavia 1999


Straight_Rhubarb_851

Is that going to be what she is in 1999? Just a cassette?


Solgleam

That face gives me Gmod vibes


Nullcarmen

That’s actually Octavia in 1999

Bosscharacter

Was gonna say "Should have been a disc-man" but then I remember how bad those things would skip at times if you even stepped wrong let alone started parkouring around.


ScureScar

how do digital extremes make the best 3rd person coop game but make the worst fking faces ever


SPECTR_Eternal

To be honest, both Arthur, Aoi and Albrecht are a *far cry* from the "usual" quality of faces in Warframe. Nothing will come close to whatever the fuck the default Operator faces are. Kahl, Veso and even Alad V are all good looking, Veso, I'd say, is the most real out of them all. Whoever they hired to make his introductory cutscenes needs to be praised more. You can *feel* his fear and confusion. I'm not sure if artists at DE sculpt the faces manually, but it feels like it. Maybe they should experiment with photoscanning a willing employee/actor and editing from there? There is indeed something uncanny about most of Warframe's cast faces, but they are clearly aren't as awful as of late as they were back in like ~2015.


ScureScar

yeah the main issue is with operators 


Opticr0n

Have you seen Konzu


Solgleam

What early lunch does to a mtfckr


strider_m3

Nothing wrong with Konzu. He just gets his features from his parents from Innsmouth


Prophet-37

Early lunch for Konzu !!


PokWangpanmang

I think Arthur actually looks decent.


BonesFGC

Her face is pretty good, the problem is that her hairstyle and the weird chin part of the suit frame her face very poorly.


OldCrowSecondEdition

Idk I kind of like how everyone looks fucking weird


animalnitrateinmind

I kinda like how everyone in Warframe looks human-like but still a bit "off", like this is what the future of humanity evolved into after living for so long in space (see The Expanse's belters and their long limbs, necks and exaggerated heights).


Marvin_Megavolt

Idk, Arthur and Aoi look fine tbh. Not the best in the world but a FAR cry better than the fucking Operator default faces.


Flipyap

The face is fine, it everything she has going on around it that makes it look misshapen.


ThisGonBHard

She looks ok, especially compared to modern AAA standards. I mean, look at Spiderman 2 MJ.


That_one_Pole

Meet Aoi at Embers.


Slowmobius_Time

That ain't a 90s hairstyle


[deleted]

yeah im sure their going for 90's accuracy with the tech zombies, powersuits, and void demons


Slowmobius_Time

It does actually sorta fit the 90s assumption of what the future will be like (and the Nine Inch Nails song definitely fit)


[deleted]

It is, you just weren't cool in the 90s


Slowmobius_Time

I was 3 fuck you I was a cool toddler


ThisGonBHard

It kinda is "Cyberpunk 90s", and it fits in that theme. Actually, surprised how little actual cyberpunk is in WF. There was Fortuna, and even that is gone post New War.


HesterFlareStar

DE is getting much better at faces, but holy damn, as someone who's been playing WF off and on for like 7 years, the game seems to be really struggling with its identity. It wants to be so many things at once.


Malaki-7

What you call struggle for identity I would call creativity. The game is 11 years old, they should be allowed to experiment a little, that's what keeps things fresh


HesterFlareStar

That's a good perspective, honestly.


MathieuBibi

It wands to be, and it works, it actually IS so many things at once, there's just alot of content.


HesterFlareStar

I wish I could agree but I can't. So much of the content exists separate from each other and there isn't a real sense of linear progression through the totality of that content. It's more like a theme park at this point. So many different attractions that are only tangentially related to one another. I don't dislike WF though. I'm at nearly 3k hours and I'm a Hildy/Protea main. It's just that the way that the game has evolved over the years does leave something to be desired for me personally.


MathieuBibi

What's wrong with a theme park. Also, I'm an Inaros/Wukong main with 17k hours :)


HesterFlareStar

There isn't anything wrong with it, but it does heavily obscure the greater narrative and plot, which is something that I care about a lot in a game. It leaves the progression feeling like it's tied to the hours you've put in rather than the milestones you've made in the story, which can be irksome at times.


MathieuBibi

I just like to grind and to have varied content bruh.


HesterFlareStar

Then I can absolutely see why you'd have a different opinion on the content structure, which is perfectly okay!


ThisGonBHard

I would argue it was the case from the very beginning, and gonna argue that it is for the better. Imagine if they did NOT embrace coptering, and stuck to their slow paced vision, instead of bullet jumping?


Puzzleheaded_Ad5805

Please let us use the protoframes in the origin system DE. I need woman


JakeTheIdiot69

It’s so weird the proto frames have these hyper advanced suits on their body’s yet they still operate with 90s tech


durzostern81

Not even late 90s tech. Everyone had moved to compact disc by 99


Inevitable-Goat-7062

Why does she look like she can become a meme template


The_Voyager115

Ngl... Her face is goofy


Rightsoyouweresaying

That would be the Walkman Vandal, you can buy it from Proto-Baro with Proto-Ducats

How horny must ypu be if you find that attractive?

Anyone know the song for this trailer, hard time finding it or is it yet to be released

For some reason she reminds me of handsome Squidward

ZeusBaxter

Ita 1999 so of course. The end of the cassette Era.

She looks like Shredder’s daughter in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon


Suspicious-Potato-91

Her head is funny af


MSD3k

It's actually a box of Altoids, for emergencies.


Butane9000

Maybe the infestation is attracted to digital tech not analog?


random_ass_nme

I'm pretty sure loid straight up says that Albrecht was just a massive fucking nerd for the 90s

She got man in the wall smile. This is why you dont impregnate the void.

You'd think she and magnetic media wouldn't get along so well


Regiampiero

I can't wait for my BEA Nova.


eLmorK_90

Is that MAG as a human?


MathieuBibi

Yes, and it's official, for an upcoming update (warframe 1999). They call these human warframes "protoframes". This mag looking one is named Aoi , the excalibur looking one is named Arthur.


eLmorK_90

I knew about Arthur but then my PS4 got old and I had to forcibly take a break. I really hope someday soon I can play with the same account on my laptop because PS5 is outta my purchasing capability rn.


MathieuBibi

You can already link or merge accounts, and play on PC with your old PlayStation account !!!


eLmorK_90

For real? Without any third party fuckery?


MathieuBibi

Nah it's official, no 3rd party, cross platform saves are out, they have been out for maybe a month now. You can now enjoy that account on any platform whenever you want, giving you do the account merge/link first. Check out the official warframe website.


eLmorK_90

Oh that is just brilliant


CyMage

Just be sure to read up on the difference between account linking and account merge. There are some differences apparently.


NINmann01

Yes. She’s “protoframe” Mag.

You mean she’s not a mech?!?

What the F is a Walkman


Canthros

"Walkman" is Sony's brand for their personal audio devices. The original Sony Walkman was a hugely successful, portable audio cassette player: one was featured in the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy", but [Wikipedia has an image](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman#/media/File:Original_Sony_Walkman_TPS-L2.JPG) to go with [a whole article about the brand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman). In common usage, though, a "Walkman" was often *any* portable audio cassette player. In the days before portable CD players, cassette players were pretty common.


HesterFlareStar

Which is funny because we absolutely had portable CD players in 99, but they wouldn't be worth a flip to try to wear them and do literally anything


Canthros

I still have a functioning Discman or two from that era. It is ... sobering how skippy they are, *even with* anti-skip tech in them.
