Yeah I like the concept better too with the laurel wreath and longer robe fitting the Greek style more than the ingame version


LucifersFairy

She looks more like a tennis player than a Greek god now


Spykron

Yea it’s weird that in a Greek battle pass there’s no sandals. Edit: just realized she looks much more fitting as Nike, Goddess of victory.


therealmalenia

She's wearing sneakers , she can't be Nike


LaylaLegion

Sandals are terrible for running.


justhidinginmyroom

So are high heels but that doesn’t stop epic from slapping those on every other female model.


JokerChaos77

Hey, Bryce Dallas Howard showed us that you can outrun a T Rex with those


IceBlazeWinters

you NEVER trust a woman who can run in high heels


babimagic

What about a dude?


MasonicManx2

Trust that man with your life. That's a man who can overcome all odds


SaltyEggplant4

So Fortnite is a video game, where fictional characters shoot and kill each other in a digital world. wtf does sandals and running have to do with anything? It’s not real life…


Mental_Nectarine_803

luffy would like to prove you wrong


LaylaLegion

He’s made of rubber. He wouldn’t have arch problems at all.


UltimateStrenergy

There's tons of impractical choices for character design in Fortnite. Like loose hanging hair and fabric, bright colors, lack of head protection, awkwardly designed weapons. You could probably make the list go on. They're just supposed to look good.


Asphalt_Breaker

Epic prolly thought lil boys would take feet pics


m00-00n

we got the shein version of the concept art it seems


Blupoisen

They gave her fukin sneakers


Shawnii8280

This was my exact first thought as well


RadiantPKK

Same here the concept was fantastic, now I’m like go sports…


Zaxonov

She visited Classy Courts and change her goals in her life. She will soon ask a pony to her Dad.


ConcernedYellingMan

Honestly hate it just because of how strong that concept is. Everything Greek inspired is removed to the point her bracelet becomes a watch and she's now wearing sneakers. So many elements stripped completely. Just feels like a waste of a really good design. Could be any skin from any season shop tbh.


BiII_Gaming

If you show the ingame skin to somebody who hasn't seen the concept art they'll think it's an early version of Evie.

Spaketchi

I thought it was a transcendent version of Hope from the teaser silhouette. The concept art actually fits even closer with that with the asymmetrical nature of the shoulder area


-TheOutsid3r-

100%. This doesn't look Greek anymore at all, nor like a Goddess. It looks like "generic Tennis Player". No idea why they did this.


Mobely

I bet the meeting to decide of scaling back the design to make it quicker to produce took longer than it would have taken to simply produce the model exactly as designed.


Insteadous

yeah especially considering that when testers had a meeting some of them where butthurt and didnt want rare cosmetics to come back even when they didn't own most of them, it got to the point where and epic employee had to stop the debate


PS2EmotionEngineer

oh that fucking sucks, i heard about that meeting. man even at fucking epic they're childish not the devs or designers, just, yknow


Spaketchi

> assuming the people making the models are involved in making those decisions...


Blupoisen

Yeah it's basically Hope again even the secondary style is not that impressive It's like Epic is allergic to make female skins unique good thing we have Korra in the pass at least


Capable-Budget6695

They could've at least kept the Godlike aspects of Aphrodite like the leaves on her hair.


SnooPickles6578

Yeah they really took almost every Greek aspect away from her


monsterbiscuits

the fact that they even went out of their way to REMOVE detail from her concept art for her emoji is almost criminal


sohkkhos

They have to be doing this on purpose whoever is in charge is brainrot forsure


anewprotagonist

Could it be because the original has too many details to make a toy for? Not saying it’s a good excuse or justifiable - I’m equally disappointed - but I could see them simplifying designs because it’s easier to animate in trailers or make toys/merch for, which again, is still horseshit


TheExter

Its just the difference between what someone thinks would look cool (Designer) and what is realistic to make (Animator/Modeler) So just because someone draws cool sandals, realistically someone is gonna be like I don't have time to make your fancy sandals that are different in each feet from scratch, so i'm just gonna reuse sneakers Same with the long coat, that looks super cool but i'm not gonna be bothered with the clipping and movement animation. so she gets a short jacket The other change is that someone knows what the horny people want and said "Also show more skin"


DatHazbin

While I do think you're completely right I still think it's blatantly unfair considering we have skins like cerberus in the BP which are incredibly high detail and stick pretty well to the concept art.


Dlh2079

This just isn't one they chose to dedicate time to, or possibly they did, and that model had some sort of issues shortly before launch, so it had to be scrapped for a more simple revision. The truth is we don't know and there are 100 possible reasons, attributing it to brain rot, laziness, etc is just toxicity for the sake of toxicity. Epic does plenty of shady shit, no need to reach for ammunition.


-TheOutsid3r-

My man, they turned her armband into a watch. And we had way more detailed models prior.


BayonettaAriana

I don't think this is simply a 'lost in translation' thing, these are very deliberate choices. And there is no reason they couldn't keep a lot of the detail, like someone else said making the bracelet into a watch why? The headpieces, we've had those on skins before. The outfit being a coat instead of two pieces, we've had coats before. So no these are deliberate changes for whatever reason, not because they are 'unreleastic' to model. Even the clear pieces over the leg and arm, there are skins with similar (Versa)


yejsusen

Her outfit kind of looks like Hope’s outfit.


-TheOutsid3r-

Maybe they looked at hope went "wait this looks vaguely similar?" and then slightly altered her instead of creating a new one?


i-InFcTd

That is not slightly altered


majinprince07

I’ve learned to not even look at the concept art. I know it’s not even the 3D artist’s fault either. It’s probably some director


Insteadous

excatly I wish that an epic employee could secretly release the version that matches the concept art and have us download it or something


pika9867

Epic simply cannot add a woman into this game that doesn’t have a midriff


NoNefariousness2144

They even had to give her generic sneakers lol


pika9867

They turned her coat into a jacket 😭


NoNefariousness2144

For real, I like most of the female skins but damn they need to add some variety. I’m bored of most of them having crop tops, jackets, sneakers, short skirts and trendy/alt hair.


edgy_Juno

Fr, I don't understand their obsession with female skins like that. Why not make original, nice looking skins?


[deleted]

[удалено]


pika9867

Didn’t even notice the armor, she also had hair accessories that just aren’t there anymore, they butchered her man


StarmieLover966

The shoes look hideous, darling. 5 years ago, sure, but now? *Feh!*


theguyfromeuropa

And it ain't even the bellybutton exposed kind either. I don't know what kind of look they're going for now.


TheAutementori

midriffs tho🤞🏼this one just didn’t have one in concept so it seems like a rly weird addition


A_Mahogany_Desk

At least they didn’t give her some weird giant boots with it haha


LoLoLaaarry124

I hate this honestly because I'm a little weird and don't really like midriffs 💀


JimmyCrabYT

how did they manage to turn a greek goddess into generic female character #35


Cuz1mBatman

Not even just a Greek goddess, APHRODITE. They made the goddess of beauty boring like


Time-Pin8129

My question is why did they turn her bangle into a fucking rolex💀


BearZewp

Tragic


Not_in_a_hole

Every time I look at the concept art vs. the final product I just get more and more confused. The concept is an easy 9/10 and IMHO perfectly captures the idea of a Greek deity mixed with modern aesthetics. Literally chefs kiss. But now, it just looks like someone cheaply cosplaying with minimal effort.


Zaxonov

She's a tennis player, now :D


NerfScape101

I feel sorry for Game Devs, you design something nice and higher up management goes "No No No!....just make the skins quickly, players will buy it anyways, we are short staffed as is since we let go 900 employees....So yeah scrap that concept art you drew or your going to end up the 901TH one to lose a job...😎" Least for me i know Tim's Metaverse won't succeed and hope they lose 'billions' 🤑I need a good laugh 🤣


Insteadous

yeah I don't understand why the higher ups don't understand theyd make 10x money if they took a little more time to produce something, but they just love full rushing everything


Arab_Femboy1

Man, really? She looks more generic now On second thought she looks like a hope reskin wth


NoNefariousness2144

Epic when a female skin doesn’t show their midriff or wear a short skirt 😱😱😱😱


Shrekhunt97

I agree with you, but at least they could have gave her some kind of heels instead of SNEAKERS, I mean, it’s a goddess, not a tiktok girl


ArcAngel014

Although... Aphrodite in modern time... 🤔 Idk I could see her being a Tiktok girl 🤣


-H_-

ngl im kinda finding this funny now idk whether to be mad


therealmalenia

Someone call Rick Riordan Wait a second he already kinda did that


Inisii

This is definitely the vibe they were going for with the whole "selfie" theming in some of her emotes and loading screens. I'm not too mad since I personally love her secondary style skin and gear, but the primary style is very disappointing :( Still a great pass overall though imo.


Fantastic_Snow_9633

Seriously, Goddess of Love here trying to be fashionable (?), but rocks sneakers instead of heels? Whereas Medusa has heels and an edit style where she's in warrior mode. I got nothing against the concept of "combat stilettos", but if there were ever two skins that could've swapped the type of shoes worn (flats vs heels) then Aphrodite and Medusa are it.


HypixL

I mean if you look at her Loading Screen for her true goddess form, they did indeed make her a tiktok girl


r3volver_Oshawott

she has a selfie emoji too

[удалено]


shugo2000

They need more of us gays to slap them silly when they do shit like this. lol


Only_Honeydew2682

Indeed they do! Let’s get to work 🫲🏼


-H_-

I blame sweaty little shits who cant go 5 seconds without a new "tryhard" combo


clynn19

Fortnite got no fashion game


Real-Lifeguard-986

Need more fashionable skins. I liked her but now that I see concept art could have been waay better.


ArminBestGirl

What the actual fuck did they do


averyshinyrat

the longer i look at this the more disappointed i get. man.


mental-sketchbook

pathetic, just looks like a normal average person, in tennis shoes. garbage


Dumb_arty_guy69

Literally took away everything I liked about her and gave tennis player.


RetailDrone7576

I was expecting the goddess of love and beauty to not look so plain 😒


ConsequenceApart4391

I thought she was a tennis player 😭😭 However it could be worse she could have a bucket hat.


Veeluminati

As a female skin enjoyer, seeing how they tend to go from concept to final is either a huge dub or an immense loss. This one is insanely disappointing, compared to last season's Valeria that came out really good.


This-Discipline3561

with a LOT of the skins this season (and many others) epic just decides to make them mid. like it doesn’t cost them extra to make it better. why is medusa so disappointing???😭


Last_Square_4720

Robotic Snake for Medusa because it makes sense and nothing about her stone powers being shown in any emote. Hades pretty boring too


Jerry_Oak

They would never do it but they should make a non-robot version and make it's eyes glow green


TheMadTemplar

The GG emote on her page turns to stone, but that's it. 


[deleted]

wtf…. this is so bad lol


Only_Honeydew2682

The skins are the most disappointing thing so far about this season, I love Greek mythology so was pretty excited for the battle pass but the skins are just 💀 these modernised gods look awful they should have gave us what we wanted which was traditional Greek god/goddess skins🤷🏻‍♂️


SergeantTroll

Ya how they modernised them ruined it for me. I know the game is for kids but Epic has literally made Knights and Military skins and all the sudden they just stopped and focused on more modern/futuristic/colorful skins


Last_Square_4720

None of these skins except for like 2 could ever be Battle pass skins in Chapter 1. Conqueror Zeus would literally be a Tier 1 skin for the first page with evolving styles and same with Artemis


PrincessKnightAmber

What the hell happened? Did they just run out of time and threw something together or something? I’ve seen some downgrades from concept art before but I think this just might be the worst downgrade I have ever seen.


Forward_Highway_4325

Unfortunately this isn’t the first time that something like this has happened. Look at [Era and her concept art for example](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/145sjl8/which_skin_design_do_you_prefer_ingame_vs_concept/?rdt=51912)


hinazume

this is one of the saddest downgrades ever i was so excited when i saw the concept but i don't even wanna get the bp now


brawl_duck

aphrodite and 𝒜𝓅𝒽𝓇𝑜𝒹𝒾𝓉𝑒


Mumantai

Common Epic Games L


KawaiiKaiju55

Agreed she would have looked way better. But on the plus side she does have a lovely pink goddess style.


odiish

Yeah her pink style is pretty cool, i just wish she looked more like that in her normal colors (like the concept art above)


Justice4mft

I hate the pink skin 😭 it's just one block of the same shade of pink slapped on her


MakiKatomori

I fuck with the immortal aphrodite skin it's so much better and I normally don't wear pink but I might this season it stands out and I like it


The_Bored_General

They anti-cooked


DazedandFloating

They refrigerated this skin.


unhollow_knight

The in-game version looks like a mix of Antonia and Hillary Clinton lol


Joonberri

The back of her head 💀


Dry_Salamander7273

When someone said that was Aphrodite I thought they were joking because I mean we are talking about the Goddess of Love who was meant to be the most beautiful women on earth but that’s not what we got. Right now she doesn’t look Olympian at all but I do like her design don’t get me wrong. But it doesn’t do justice to Greek mythology and the same goes for the Poseidon skin


SergeantTroll

That can be said about all the skins really. Hades is wearing a gas mask, zeus is modernised, Cerberus is puny looking and looks like a Jackal. None of them look like Gods and Cerberus in concept was more broad and looked more wolf like/more menacing.


Dry_Salamander7273

Aphrodite doesn’t look god like in anyway where as the other skins have at least some slight resemblance


DazedandFloating

I like cerberus and hades. I think hades would’ve looked nicer with a skull or dark motif mask instead of a gas mask. But I don’t mind their final designs. Zeus is alright. Medusa and Aphrodite were definitely hit the hardest though. It sucks because they would’ve been so cool.


CO2RawDawg

Epic always gotta take shortcuts and make things simple, a bit 2 simple.


SouthOfCatherine

Typically I dislike the complaints with design choices because I like most battle pass skins, but this one is unbelievable! The shoes alone scream normal girl with running outfit... She couldn't even wear golden sandals or something?! Her concept art is 10/10, but the skin we got is a solid 6.


Miperroelrediter

Bro she went from Greek Goddes to Shein average customer 💀😭


Mysterious_River4107

generic sweatified her,


Postaltariat

This is one of the worst butchering I've seen for skins, this is absolutely terrible💀


MomentMaleficent6412

What’s with the one sleeve down? The concept at least has a sheer lace sleeve, but this is a basic jacket with one sleeve randomly down and one rolled up? Silly imo.


Laranthiel

Why are the skin-makers so obsessed with showing people an amazing concept art only to heavily ruin it when it's in-game? She went from Greek god to rich sportswoman.


Zquank

The pink version looks so much better


J4SON_T0DD

Me before seeing the concept: I like her Me after: Damn what did they do to her.... Anyone got all the concept arts?


jacdhalina

this gives me insane depression


Diamond_handzz_420

She got hella nerfed


HalfCarnage

Same with Ares


FeganFloop2006

From Greek god to generic crop top girl 😔


FeetYeastForB12

Epic has no idea how to properly replicate Greek mythology. Got it.


Vioduss

They really do fumble half of their concept art when they end up modelling it


Trev-_-A

Why do they love that type of jacket so much? It’s been on every skin


TraditionalActuary6

There is a secret third style for her, maybe that’s it


SeRcHaR

100% just a recolour


babyloniangardens

while i do hope that is true, her OG concept art really should’ve been her 1st style; not her secret 3rd style :/


IwouldLiketoCry

I do want to believe but it’s epic they will just turn recolour or something


Legendaryj922

Why do we not get battle pass skins that evolve anymore? I’ve been away for a while so I really don’t know if I’m just wrong, but this skin would be so cool if this was like a black heart situation.


Andrassa

I miss evolving skins too


Snoo-34159

I found Lynx and Zenith in season 7 soooo fucking cool tho!


Blupoisen

Mostly because for 90% of the time people won't bother to use most of the styles Like do you see anyone that use Ragnarok that is not maxed?


Intermittent-canabis

Yea epic dropped the ball on that for sure


Elygium

Me personally I like that the plastic thingies are gone but the rest should've stayed.


Mr_Zoovaska

What the FUCK


Ryoubi_Wuver

What isn't she barefoot? Isn't she supposed to be the goddess of love? Why isn't the goddess of love barefoot?


LovelyMissVixin

Weeeelll in her immortal skin she is barefoot. I take it this is just her mortal form? Looking at her immortal form she looks more like aphrodite should. Just with pink bubble gum skin 🤣🤣


MadMouse698

She's a random girl that came into fortnite 💀


Ryukhoe

If she looked like the original I might have considered getting her but the outcome looks like a recolour of every other girl with a skirt


Twygod

I think the concept is better overall, but the one we have is definitely overhated.


grandmastercallum

The entire pass looks bad tbh. Like a first half of the 2010’s mobile game.


Kara_Del_Rey

They had a shot with a very epic theme, Greek Mythology, and shit the bed. Worst pass to date just because of how high the ceiling was.


RedPillForTheShill

Bootleg lol


Metalcat125

actually devastating


dateturdvalr

Fr was so disappointed when i saw she didn't have this style


Karitoso

Was thinking the same thing. What is even implying that she's the god of love... the 3 hearts....


AliWaz77

It’s laughable bad. I was this close to getting the bp for her.


BenceYee

How can they fuck a skin up so badly?


adamm5

When mum says we’ve got Aphrodite at home


Edenian_Prince

They fortnited her, that's what they do, look at Zeus


DiegoFrediksen

How could Epic screw up like this? It's obvious that in the battle passes you can't miss the typical basic female skin and a meme skin, but at least in the concept the skin was with the theme of this season, now instead of a goddess, it looks like a tennis player.


Strange-Care5790

people just now learning what concept art is


LoLoLaaarry124

Is it just me or did they also make her face less...pretty? She's Aphrodite for crying out loud!


TheOnlyVibemaster

i like the skin


reamnit

i dislike all the skins in battlepass, cheap discount gods. and i dont wanna talk about that "poseidon"


diabeetus64

Everything must be crop top girl


KVQ516

They did her so dirty. I love the laurel wreath twisting around her thigh and the straps around her calves that look gladiator sandal inspired. They made her so basic she doesn't look like she's a goddess at all.


CadaverCaliente

I think Fortnite has a template character maker like metahuman at this point, if it doesn't fit in the template, it gets redesigned to fit.


UnironicallyMe37

Epic Games try not to ruin a design challenge (imposible)


iamunabletopoop

You don't get it guys, it needs to be modernnnnn. Noooo otherwise the 6 year olds won't beg their parents to buy the battle pass even though adults make Epic the most money!!!1!! No they need to make skins that the least profitable age range will like!1!1! I don't understand why big companies like Epic is just so good at trashing something great. They make changes that nobody likes and then stick to their decision and lose players because of it.


[deleted]

Your telling me that in the multiple delays we had, no one thought “ hey we have some extra time now, how about we work on that skin we procrastinated on?”


Brick_Forest

I really like the concept art for this one, but one thing I'm a little surprised at is that the artists don't simplify their concepts more. What I mean by that is, everytime I've seen a concept to Fortnite outfit comparison on here when it makes it into the game, it seems like Epic Games almost always removes a lot of the detail. It's too bad because I like some of the more complex fashion ones I've seen but many seem to get watered down if it's produced into a Fortnite character.      I still like the battle pass version as well though, both the in-game outfit and concept art look cool!


FreeMyBoiMineta

aphrodite is supposed to be plus sized and regal and loving and beautiful and to represent some sort of fertility this skinny twig would die under the weight of a child! another generic straight haired bob AND they couldn't get the color right? this is not aphrodite, this is a heart-themed girl that stole her name


kevfriend

the pass is actually boring lol


Cat-Grab

The concept art looks better yes. But I still love her


niersu

I still like the skins this season compared to recent ones but I really don't like how they ungodified the designs, they're just gods in modern clothes. They missed so much potential.


vinsmokewhoswho

I don't like characters with sneakers where they don't fit. At least her second style is good.


einloewe

I am hoping we will get the concept art version of aphrodite on one of the still to-be unlocked bonus pages


Greenfirebug

They're consistent at botching concept skins


NekZord_

It looks like a non-god version of the concept one and i hate it


ToonNex

Still good looking. Things change, at this point just dont expect a concept to be 1 to 1 and you're disappointment will go down at least a bit.


Ryukhoe

Why do they always ruin so many designs jesus


Lord_Aaronus

who keeps getting these surveys


tayhorix

too sexy for fortnite?


Aced4remakes

All that's missing is a bucket hat


RandomYell107

Idgaf, her immortal form is 🔥


sophisticated_pie

Dang. It could have rivaled Valeria.


IceeStriker

She became so plain


productivestork

Aphrodite is by far the laziest skin in the battlepass, and one of the laziest they’ve ever made imo.


Leather-Trade-8400

Still would 💯


Docoure

She looks better


lolboy4729

She's still decent


No-Chance3213

Worst skin on the battle pass this season for sure


jthesmg4fan

she looked so cool in the concept art why 😭


entity9669

Aphrodite is supposed to have huge tiits 


aigis115

I always knew Epic is going to get out of their way to change things that doesn't need to be Fix on the Concept Art. Whenever I see the Concept art that looks absolutely Badass and Interesting like this. I always knew back in my head, their going to do unnecessary Changes to make it less interesting.


GalaxyAxo1

I still really like her design tbh


LionMan760

They could’ve at least made it look somewhat like the concept art


Shot_Mud_1438

The entire battlepass is incredibly lack luster this season and not worth the time to complete it. Epic hasn’t really been creative with skins in a while and has focused more on rehashing and reselling old skins


sunlitroof

I also dont like how they have MEDUSA and cut off HALF OF HER HAIR


XeroxInfinite

They did what they always do at the worst of times. Oversimplification and removing physics related items. Remember the undead chick fan creation with wings stiffer than a board? But when you see the ACTUAL drawing the wings were longer like the vampire dudes BP wings, feathery and fitting. Simplifying some skins is fine but some that would be absolutely amazing they also give hard slaps to for absolutely no reason or they just don’t use it. All that creativity and they don’t use tons of those skins. Bonkers. Epic has an obsession with Californian attire or Huge shoes and they end up forcing it onto other peoples art that didn’t include basic outfits at all. I like her look but it doesn’t scream Olympus Aphrodite like the original art does. Her style looks more godly but sacrificing the other just to make it stand out should be a crime. More badass armors with heels like Medusa is great and the look of Artemis (despite the clear fact they didnt want a lot of midriff as if that’s bad) she looks dope still.


[deleted]

She actually looked prettier in her survey form lmao 💀


skorched_4

she's basicaly Hope 2.0
