Most anime characters don't have a ton of accessories or a billion random belts. It's way easier to draw the manga and animate the anime when the characters are simple after all. And yet somehow mangakas can still come up with new IPs to this day.

After so many character you have to deviate from basic designs after a while so the characters are meaningfully distinct.

Genshin's designs could use work at times but surely you realize you cant have every female in a plain shirt + skirt outfit. After the 23rd character designed like that you would call them "creatively bankrupt". This picture is posted as "fact" but in reality the artist is just a fan of simple designs, and that's all there is to it. Simple =/= Best.

Notice how when characters look like overdesigned, incomprehensible blobs, they become much harder to distinguish from each other.
So how do Genshit's character designers address this? They fall back on the simplest distinction possible: THIS BLOB IS RED, THIS BLOB IS BLUE, THIS BLOB IS GREEN, THIS BLOB IS ORANGE, because that's the only thing they can do.
Absolute low-IQ character design philosophy where the designers paint themselves into a corner on purpose.

The reason it's called hoyoslop is because they made this kind of design style popular, and it spread with hoyo copycats. You can in fact keep character designs simple across endless numbers of characters. Think of literally any popular anime character and look up their design. Miyabi stands out for a good reason, and even her design could be trimmed up, like getting rid of that belt around her ankle and removing some random straps.

Still called the Kokiri Tunic, so they give it the same materials.

However the Goron and Zora tunic look much closer to how they did in Twilight Princess to their material and layout. So the game kind of expects you to largely ditch the Kokiri Tunic once you get either of them. There really is no reason to rock the Goron Tunic all the time once you get it, especially as all the "late game gear" (mirror shield, Biggoron Sword) are fairly color coordinated to work with that one.

>>747483448
Yea, overdesigned to the point of being forcibly unique
The problem is that they're not distinguishable because of color, but because of how overdesigned they are, where as you made it sound like the color is the primary way they make characters stand out.
For Genshin in particular, their primary goal is to signify the character's element - the color theme of each special snowflake in genshit universe is almost always designed around their element
Fire character? red hair or red clothes
Water character? a lot of blue
Plant? green
Earth? Gold, black, white (mostly)
Air? retarded bluish green
etc

These color themes are almost always there for nearly every character, with a few exceptions
>>
You could probably recognize at least 1000 unique human faces but you're really going to make the excuse that you need 100 ribbons for characters to stand out?

This kind of abysmal shit only gets designed in videogames.

If that was unequivocally true, people wouldn't love giant robots like Gundam and Transformers, where even the simple old designs have too many random stacking shapes to easily memorize

Robots don't have complex facial features like humans, they can't emote. All the personality has to come from the design, so its fine for those. We are talking about human designs here.

>>747487021
As an artist I can say that a lot of people with OCs love this shit because they genuinely think it makes them more unique.

>>747487406
That sounds awfully arbitrary, by that logic Rex there would be fine if you just stuck a helmet permanently over his dumbass mug but I think his outfits would still just be a huge mess
My gut tells me the closest thing we have to a universal rule is the small-medium-large thing that helps draw your eye to specific landmarks on a character, and overdesigned characters with too many bits and bobs tend to fuck that up
>>
>>747487406
You're talking out of your ass. Memorability has nothing to do with whether a character emotes. There's no reason why that rule of thumb wouldn't apply to creatures and robots.

>>747487980
What's funny is Lulu's design isn't even the bad kind of belt spam, the belt dress actually works. It's so visually noisy to the point that it melds together into a single whole. The rest of her design is relatively sparse so there's good contrast there. The bad kind of beltshit is when belts break up a design and add noise for no reason - usually with the pretense that they're supposed to serve some bullshit function, which they obviously don't. Lulu's belt dress has no such pretense.

I didn't say element based coloring is bad,
it is a bit creatively bankrupt, but gacha is mainly fucked because of the overdesigning problem.
I don't mind if an ice character looks white and blue and says "Ice to meet you"
I will mind, however, if they have random belts, straps, ornaments, gay flashy abilities adn a stupid impractical weapon (that doesn't actually have anything to do with the element or abilities of said character)
Another gacha problem is how one dimensional characters are
AKA when a character only knows one thing or is themed around one thing and NEVER shuts up about it
>Hey, person I'm meeting for the first time ever, my name is BONG BING, my hobby monster slaying! didn't ask? don't worry, this is my whole personality!
>HEH, this situation reminds me of htat monster I slayed once!
>This food tastes like (obscure random monster)
>Wow! you hit like a gore-rilla!
>*attack looks like claw marks despite using a sword*
>The hunt is on!
>Hey, partner! wanna go FIGHT MONSTERS?
>I FUCKING LOVE HUNTING MONSTERS

Like yeah, we get it, the character is a monster hunter, is it really that important to rub it in at every turn?
THAT, in essence, is possibly the biggest crime of gacha character writing.
>this character.. is le sleepy!
*proceeds to complain how sleepy they are constantly*
>this character.. is the overworking over-stressed one!
*every dialogue with other NPC:s always brings up how much of a reliable hard worker they are, and how they should lighten their load sometimes
>this character.. is a chef!
*cannot shut the fuck up about their random cooking ideas or eating in general*

They're not that random, they're just unorthodox for (you) because you don't live in their silly cyberpunk fantasy zanarkand where a lot of fashion is retarded to begin with

He has
>cropped vest with hood
>overall-shorts
>armguard
>perfectly matching shoes that aren't retarded kingdom hearts style
>a beautiful water sword to match his swimmer nature
>a tame, slightly animeish hair that is still realistic enough to be feasible

Everything except the hood is thought out enough, as the goal was to make it look perfectly waterproof as well as belivable enough for a swordsman
He uses a buckler, a lightly armored left hand, and

Would you have preferred if he was in heavy armor? sink in water?
Would you have preferred if he was in diver tights and look retarded all of the time?
Would you have preferred if he had flippers? on land? lol

I haven't singled out any character design, she is fine except for the random armor bits
Either commit to the armor or don't just slap some single heavy armor piece on the chest or waist and call it a day

>Sounds like you hate anime in general
only shitty anime have characters who are this shallow
Take for example some character like Nami from One Piece
She is greedy? big part of her personality
but it's NOT all of her personality,
She's also cowardly, sneaky, smug, loyal and talks about a lot more than treasure, money or thieving
She also isn't afraid to disagree or downright get mad at her friends - a trait you will practically NEVER see in a gacha. They will always suck each other off, and especially so with the MC.

I cannot even remember a time when I saw any main cast character get mad at, insult or oppose the protagonist
Anime isn't afraid to do that.
Rukia shit talking Ichigo? all the time
Sakura shit talking Naruto? all the time
Gus being reprimanded by Schierke? all the time
Xin mocked by his strategist and peers? all the time
Okabe mocked / teased by Kurisu? all the time..

The traveler mocked by anyone except Fatui (before they join him)? never ever
Rover mocked by anyone except Fractsidus overseers? never ever
Appraiser mocked by anyone except one or two villains? never ever

You get the point

Genshin has a very particular style that makes me gloss over their characters and just find them incredibly boring and generic most of the time. It is probably because I get up on older 80s and 90s anime where the characters felt more jagged and simple.

Complex bad.
>>
This thread highlights why abstract art is important. See a lot of you fags are invoking various art principles and rules of thumb, but those art principles are best exemplified as abstractions. Everything trickles down from abstraction and into illustrative art such as character design.
If the composition in pic related doesn't make you feel anything, then why is it that when a character design contains a more obfuscated version of these same shapes and spatial relations, suddenly you have a strong opinion on the way they're arranged? That's called missing the forest for the trees.
>>
>>747492948
It's not the simplicity that is bad in that avatar, it's the design in general
old avatar symbols were already simple, new ones are just ugly ass geometry, and those outfits? what are they, team sports?

Reminder that simplicity is just a cope from a hack artist, btw

>How do we save ZZZ from Genshinfication?
Stick to a coherent theme that would actually fit in the setting, like Belobog or the Housekeeping guys. Just keep to something easily identifiable. The recent banners are not only genshinslop, but completely at odds with what they first started with.

Also, make more cool designs like Billy or that chinese robot guy. That recent idol chick should have been a robot all the time.

This happens because it takes actual skill to make a spectacular design without just attaching all the frills to give the impression of it. You run the risk of making the design boring to most of your userbase

It's less about how detailed a character's design is, and more about not making it look too busy. If lots of details look good overall, then it's fine.

"Good" is fine but if every design is made in the "good" style in a fantasy game it no longer looks like a fantasy game.
Genshin is a fantasy game so the designs should follow.

These are the consequences of having your game's marketing strategy be around the new characters you keep on introducing rather than releasing a fully finished product. The idea is to make every character elaborately designed so some autist who falls in love with that character will be absolutely enamored by them and whale out a ton to get that character no matter the cost.

Something I learned from these schizo complaints is that the people complaining just have focus issues. They don't know how to focus their mind on anything so any design with more than a few details causes their brain to overload and stop working so they can't take anything in.
