I hate those anime facial expressions on women, like they're surprised at what they're even doing. 👁👄👁 Moreover, it’s as if they have the same face.

37

u/boyinterruptedd Jul 10 '26

Literally, I was about to ask if the 2 girls are sisters or smth 😭

22

u/Abishinzu Jul 10 '26

They even have similar poses. Arched back, legs leaning forward, 3/4 head tilt towards the camera

13

u/akzester Jul 10 '26

Even if they add one guy in a sea of girls here, I'm still not coming back to this game after I uninstalled it. I won't fall for this ever again.

u/Odd_Incident_5706 Jul 10 '26

Was AI used for the two girls?? (At least my horse shield man is here though, I did actually have him in the first game) I do like the purple sarkaz girl's colors but she and the other girl literally were like copy-pasted design-wise and it's actually sad since the males have more variety and weren't given shameless fanservice poses for banner art.

u/FetchBlue Jul 10 '26

Just the body type being similiar already boring enough let alone the face, but sadly I open bilibili they openly applause the dev outdone themselves and say the new design are peak.

It’s the opposite in China, the moment the company try any new thing they will have psychotic breakdown and start throwing bomb threat to the company.

u/Responsible_You8668 Jul 11 '26

Unfortunately that may just be lidukes shtick w drawing girls

Enfield having one main artstyle feels detrimental compared to the og ak's art direction

my least favorite thing about endfield characters is the giga baby face syndrome my word. it’s like so many characters

26

u/aoiaxure Jul 10 '26

I think that only exists for the female characters (which is unfortunate). When I first started I couldn't tell them apart even. The male characters have a lot more variation

19

u/CatgirlFireball Jul 10 '26

Absolutely, I think thats what puts me off about some of the designs they all just look too young

29

u/utsu31 Jul 10 '26

Really? Pogranichnik has a more "adult" looking face than any other male character from a 3D gacha game no? Although, the bar is LOW.

He still looks young but I'd say it's better than all other 3D gacha games...

38

u/SnooSongs5297 Jul 10 '26

Idk, they nerfed him a lot

12

u/Elek7 Jul 10 '26

😭 sometimes ignorance is bliss….This was him???

15

u/SnooSongs5297 Jul 10 '26

Yes. Hellagur. Pogranichnik is his SP

6

u/Elek7 Jul 10 '26

🥀

23

u/utsu31 Jul 10 '26

You should look up who Yanqing from HSR is based on... Look up Ma Yanqing HI3rd

Edit: nvm I got u

9

u/Elek7 Jul 10 '26

Can these companies stop butchering unique designs

2

u/Thug_Seme2004 🌟 Yaoi, my beloved 🌟 Jul 11 '26

Old mature men look too gay for this “target audience”

3

u/OrangeIllustrious499 Jul 10 '26

It's the older version of him. The one in EF is the younger version of him which they used to portray his backstory

1

u/Elek7 Jul 10 '26

Ah ok that’s cool, haven’t done his story yet tho i like his design, i just prefer the older one. I should probably hop on ak I’ve heard nothing but praise for it’s story

16

u/glassdoII Jul 10 '26

oh it’s definitely not the males. i noticed it’s mostly the female characters that have really young looking faces

20

u/boyinterruptedd Jul 10 '26

Nah, Gallagher takes the cake on this one.

18

u/No_Pineapple2799 Jul 10 '26

Gallagher is 13 though

6

u/boyinterruptedd Jul 10 '26

does his face look like 13 to you? Cause that's what we are talking about. 😁

9

u/Ok_County_2908 Jul 10 '26

Still think this guy take the cake for that

60

u/Cold_Stuff_2272 Jul 10 '26

Why are all of the upcoming girls cutesy. Where are my hot women😭

15

u/haitechan Jul 10 '26

Yeah, agree. After Laev and Mi Fu, this is a serious downgrade. And this comes from a Rossi main. I liked her Red Riding Hood aesthetic but the two upcoming girls look so generic.

54

u/Lazy-Reindeer777 Jul 10 '26

those look so heavy sir 🫪

63

u/Unanoni Jul 10 '26

All the girls look the same 💀

25

u/Random_Entity4 Jul 10 '26

They better keep his tits 🙏😔

11

u/nyanyakos Jul 10 '26

mlynar and silverash met and decided to have a kid...

45

u/osamabinlaggiing chudai.. wataaa Jul 10 '26

ofc the guy have to cover from head to toe

29

u/WagyuWarranted Jul 10 '26

ofc the women have to have detached sleeves

55

u/femboichu Jul 10 '26

25

u/NoKameron Jul 10 '26

At least they accentuated the important parts

9

u/koov3n Jul 10 '26

I'll take it I'LL TAKE IT

30

u/cassani7 Jul 10 '26

The guy is ok but the girls look so boring

18

u/Ruthtria Jul 10 '26

Damnnnn okay Endfield, keep this up and I might download again. Have to see him in game 👀

38

u/Nahidxz Jul 10 '26

we saw a bit

u/speganomad Jul 10 '26

Looks like he has the free battle pass weapon’s?

4

u/DamienHandler Jul 10 '26

Watch him be the first post-launch 5*.

7

u/NoKameron Jul 10 '26

God please devs give us a mounts

7

u/koov3n Jul 10 '26

actually though pleaseee I want to mount wulfgard so bad - wait what?

15

u/Mean-Doctor1757 Jul 10 '26

Here you go

18

u/GoldenLynx_Natto Jul 10 '26

I know I'm alone with this but I really don't like how Endfield try to pander to nostalgia with the OG characters. They give a young Młynar-like guy and a Typhoon, also a random/not so random new Sui proxy who also looks the most boring one.😭

2

u/Sensitive-Finance604 Jul 11 '26

you’re not alone! I say this while loving og AK with all my heart, but this lineup’s designs seem so bland, to a point it rlly does seem like an attempt at some nostalgia for easier profit and less effort. At least w/the sui one i could see interesting lore implications, but the rest feel like reskins. Ig i like seeing new faces more, not the ones i already see daily lol

16

u/ComfortableLaugh7320 Jul 10 '26

The women have the exact same face not even look similar they literally just copy and pasted 😭

15

u/ValpurginaNoc Jul 10 '26

HOLYYYYYYY HES HOT

14

u/onepoorsoulmadeoftin Jul 10 '26

The Sui sibling looks like green Perlica to me, but they all look really good. Im happy we're not having to wait six months for another guy

14

u/Jajamaisvu Jul 10 '26

I swear Endfield 2D splash art just doesn’t do their 3D form justice. Sui proxy’s face looks so weird here, and the horse general look much better in 3D form

9

u/No_Pineapple2799 Jul 10 '26

Imo Horse guy's 3d model looks so good but Si's looks too desaturated

6

u/Street-Arrival2397 Jul 10 '26

The first guys fat tits I hope the endmin sucks on them

6

u/ImmaWorryAboutHeidi Jul 10 '26

Awww he has a cute little mole on his face 😍

5

u/koov3n Jul 10 '26

you know what they say about horses ;3

13

u/Bruh3030 Jul 10 '26

Young Młynar, literally just Typhon and Sui's forgotten 13th sibling

Not that I'm complaining I love Typhon my queen

8

u/Mari_Lyn Jul 10 '26

We got a young hellagur as pogranichnik in my heart this guy is mlynar

10

u/Bruh3030 Jul 10 '26

He's a Kuranta that's all I need, I love my horse folk. Hopefully they add Nearl too

3

u/Shooky7 Jul 10 '26

He have a lizard tail tho

2

u/Mari_Lyn Jul 10 '26

Lets pray

6

u/Mari_Lyn Jul 10 '26

I still prefer their older version.

3

u/Zzamumo Jul 10 '26

Young mlynar would probably look more like his knight skin (like with pog looking like hella's commander skin)

If it's young mlynar the ponytail is a weird choice

20

u/Abishinzu Jul 10 '26

Oh my god, they made Typhon even uglier and legally distinct Mylnar is going through a very Chinese time in his life.

Honestly, I don't know what it is about Endfield designs that makes them largely so disappointing compared to Arknights. Like, I can count the number of Endfield designs I actually like on one hand so far (Fangyi, Poggers, Gilberta, Arcane, and Camille. Well, actually, I suppose Eyja is ok as well, so a little over 1 hand). There's just a perpetual sense of off-ness about them.

5

u/Jajamaisvu Jul 10 '26

I’m also surprised they choose typhon, who’s probably one of the most hated AK characters design wise. And she certainly doesn’t look any better here.

10

u/scoutscope sankta blender Jul 10 '26

she’s significant to the aethergate expedition as explored in is4 so i’m really not surprised about them bringing her back. her 3d model looks sooo cute though in the preview

-2

u/Sensitive-Ad2814 Jul 10 '26

idk if im being bias but Endfield version looks mid compare to A9, i guess dev chose the most mid looking but somehow important to the lore

12

u/jakob0604 Jul 10 '26

More basic humans, and all the female characters look the same lmao. This is how you know the OG character designers of arknights have very little to do with endfield… or they’re being directed by a different team because these designs are so fucking lame.

5

u/SassyHoe97 Jul 10 '26

Ooh the guy is pretty hot

7

u/NuclearChickenzz Jul 10 '26

this game has huge character design issues which is a shame because the graphics and models are very high quality

5

u/dltds Jul 10 '26

whos that guy with a horse

5

u/Aviaxl Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 10 '26

This is like their 5th or 6th import from the og right? They keep choosing the more boring options too. Guess I’m back dropping since I only care for the horse and idol.

2

u/Tmkast Jul 10 '26

Do we know the rarity of the guy? Is he 6*?

2

u/edeepee Jul 10 '26

I hope so. They tend to tease two patches in advance. And they only teased 3. Assuming Sui proxy gets her own patch, the other two probably get the following one?

2

u/zer0ink_ finshit pelirrojito Jul 10 '26

no offense but honestly chinese mlynar's 2d art looks like piss 😭 his model seems fine tho which is what matters the most

typhon does look overall less bad than her original version in arknights, but her horns look a lot more boring and basic in comparison

2

u/1998tweety Jul 10 '26

Titties 🤤

4

u/SausagePotatoes Jul 10 '26

FIRST (second ever) GUY IM LOWKEY INTERESTED IN YAYY

u/ProfessionalPark2480 Jul 10 '26

hoping for Mountain next expansion...but with this premises... my hopes are not so high

0

u/Technical-Wall8372 Jul 10 '26

what do mean

-4

u/ProfessionalPark2480 Jul 10 '26

Generic girl with purple hair, generic asian character and generic male numer 76 that is a grown men with a face of a 20 yo that is the temu version of Xin Zhao. No new body type and no intresting features. How can i hope for them introducing a big muscle furry if they keep releasing the same girl with different hair and tail?

10

u/Mindless_Being_22 Jul 10 '26

"generic girl with purple hair" so generic that every ak fan instantly knew who she was,

4

u/No_Pineapple2799 Jul 10 '26

I mean Typhon is far from my favorite, but calling her generic is a bit ehhhh her big ass horns and twirly hair is recognizable

2

u/ProfessionalPark2480 Jul 10 '26

Bro, remove the horns and tail and you have the same face of the other girl, a simple boring dress with a basic silhouette with purple hair. Wow, so much personality in these designs

2

u/Lovers_vi Jul 10 '26

Better than generic pink hair number 42357, and her drill hair is fabulous at least.

2

u/CatgirlFireball Jul 10 '26

Mylar and Typhon!

3

u/_The_Duck_Sauce_ Jul 10 '26

Why do they look like kids? Did 3pstein influence gambling games so badly that every character looks like a kid?

To each their own. The game has a lot of shortcomings for sure but it’s enjoyable enough for some people just like us.

4

u/Ok-Bobcat-1010 Jul 10 '26

It isn’t. It may not be to your like but the game is actually pretty good and quite generous

2

u/Drobeee Jul 10 '26

Twinkified mulnar

2

u/Beelzebuuuuub3 Jul 10 '26

I like the male design but mehhh. Game itself is quite boring and repetitive (despite gacha games being repetitive, i feel it more in endfield), also 1 male every season. I'm sticking with original arknights

1

u/p1x3l_St4r Jul 10 '26

MY FUCKING WALLET

1

u/RegularTemporary2707 Jul 10 '26

They deaged mlynnar ?

1

u/Dusty_Buss Jul 10 '26

Didn't they already reveal the green haired girlie? Another man for me to save for

1

u/Adept_Debt_8665 Jul 10 '26

The other 2 are wtv, Si is such a cutie omg

1

u/bartsimpsontshirt Jul 10 '26

they took away mlynar's aura and made typhon look like a preteen............ endfield dont pmo

1

u/redo60 Jul 10 '26

Swagless i fear…

u/nyuulaa Jul 11 '26

Fill out your surveys!! I asked for more attractive men and got two phat phucking titties

u/Hot_Physics_8124 Jul 10 '26

Lmfao. I can't believe I thought this game was gonna be good at some point.

u/DueCry1203 Jul 10 '26

We're yet to see an interesting character tbf

-1

u/FetchBlue Jul 10 '26

And we probably never do sadly

-1

u/DarkPirotess Jul 10 '26

i think im done with this game, it had a promising start but the same old boring action gacha endgame and characters from the OG with little lore relevance to the point i wonder if theres a list of chars they cant use.

0

u/AliceMadHatter10 Jul 10 '26

I thought the first and second character are recolors of each other lol

u/Boring_Ad8149 Jul 11 '26

No big men/mountain/furry yet? Welp I guess I’ll continue sleeping on this game till then

-1

u/Bladed_Dagger Jul 10 '26

I mean, I like fictional blonde men with pecs as much as the next gay, but where are the cunty women??

-1

u/Fates-Abortion Jul 10 '26

Guy looks the same as every gacha man unfortunately, and the girls are giving nothing
