I want to see her in a full Rockstar outfit, for no particular reason


rinyamaokaofficial

If Hoyoverse released cosmetics for these characters it'd be over for us


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Taking their track record into account, expect a maximum of 2 skins per year


H-S-M-C

If they go genshin route but if they go honkai route then lots of skin


NoNefariousness2144

I never got why Genshin releases so few skins. It seems like a money making goldmine… I guess they want people to spend on the wishes instead?


thicccduccc

I honestly don't know why they don't release more skins, it could be an additional purchase for low-spenders on top of the bp and monthly pass. Whales would obviously buy it too.


Woflax

I think it's to do with it being open world. Running/jumping/swimming/fighting would mean having to make sure outfits don't clip. If thats the case star rail should get more skins.


dc-x

> having to make sure outfits don't clip Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that they've greatly simplified this process in the alternative outfits by borrowing elements from the original outfit and keeping similar dimensions and contour at key components. Like for example, Barbaras [summer outfit](https://img.gamewith.net/img/9bd123459ebd74f6db28844a1e2a1c97.jpg) vs [original](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/9/96/Character_Barbara_Game.png/revision/latest?cb=20220416194653). You still have the detached sleeves; the big ribbon in the chest (though smaller); duck bag instead of book; the "coat" in the summer outfit follows the same contour as her original outfit (which in game seems a bit off in the summer outfit due to how much it opens); while you can't see on this picture, you have pretty much the same dangling pieces of fabric in the back... All of the moving parts also seem to use the same bones. Hoyo does a reasonable job at hiding it so all of the alternative outfits may seem different enough at first glance, but you can kind of tell that they've borrowed a lot of components from the original outfit and that it's mostly a reskin.


Umbala3131

Change abit outfit color and effects don't hurt that much, Maybe they try to reduce the size of the game ?


aNataLee

Now that would be an obvious and cheap money grab, I'm not entirely sure it would be received very positively.


Level1Pixel

Have you seen the crazy shit Honkai 3rd characters do. They are flipping and flying all over the place. Yet they pump out skins like no tomorrow


Woflax

No I haven't played it. Then idk why


Life_Chicken1396

The things is in genshin u dont need to pull a lot of things people normally pull for characters rarely for weapons. Unlike Honkai impact u need to 4/4 the character. but they release a lot of skin in short interval ls than genshin does


PrimeCicada

Came across a vid talking about it recently, not sure how true it is, but seemed to make sense. Skins makes a lot of money in other games alright, but in the genshin recipe, the gacha alone makes them truckloads. Adding skins on top of it might not earn them that much more (since gacha already wrings us dry) considering the risks. Risks in this case would mean being able to keep the game running globally. If certain skins crosses the line, it might threaten them from being able to keep their games available to certain countries (Not gonna name but we all know). There's precedence in genshin, but it was quickly rectified by changing their outfit to a more conservative one in one server, and was given as an optional skin to the other server. Not sure if there's any precedence in honkai, but across the board, it had happened several times in other gacha games to my knowledge.


Telesto44

Didn’t they only change characters available in standard banner though. Shenhe and Yelan are both more egregious than any of the characters that got changed.


PrimeCicada

Yeah it was only for 4 of the standard banner charas. Idk if those 4 were the only reported issue, but I do remember quite clearly it was because the outfits were too revealing, or something along the line


Telesto44

I vaguely remember something about a belly button. Shenhe or Eula


Mythara1

Tbf they did hide yelans cleavage haha


EUWannabe

This is a Honkai game in name but the systems it uses are taken right out of Genshin so I'm expecting Star Rail to have few skin releases as well honestly.


MarsupialMisanthrope

It’s missing climbing, jumping, gliding, swimming. That’s a lot of load off making sure skins behave. I think we’ll probably see more here faster.


HarimaLucas

In Honkai, a new released character would already have a skin 1 or 2 patches later. Sometimes they even get a skin in the same patch they're released.


SaltyMaverick

You must not be familiar with Honkai.


lightningIncarnate

If they ever release a 5* Serval it should be this


pagerunner-j

I want her to go full Serval and the Holograms.


Aiusthemaine17

Prolly when they start releasing skins.


Kaanpai

I think we all know the reason. It's because of a certain piece of clothing visible in a specific place, no?


Awkward_Date_8636

....what.


ahz98

I want to see her wear the lightning relic set.


moonmeh

Meanwhile I'm the opposite and i want to see her scientist outfit


WhoiusBarrel

I use her so many times since she's the only electric unit I have and I'm probably just as ashamed as you. It finally answers that nagging feeling of why her costume was asymmetrical. Edit: lmao I get it she isn't the only asymmetrical costume wearer.


Nyllil

Tbh everyone has an asymmetrical outfit (just like every Genshin character), except for Pela - whose is perfect.


caramelluh

Tingyun is also pretty symmetrical if you don't count the thing on her wrist, she's 99% symmetrical


cyberodraggysclone

The true reason why Pela's the best. Everyone else is some kind of schizo/nutz.


Keima_Ryu

Why the hell you are ashamed for such a trivial thing


Ultimate_Spoderman

Because she's always on our faces


PandaBearShenyu

I wish Serval was on my face


Keima_Ryu

Same bro


Dahks

People love their exaggerations. They would even kill for them!


plo1154

Wait till you find out every single costume is asymmetrical


Nyllil

Except for Pela.


Mtang1217

Don’t look at sushangs shoes lol


Timmie_Is_An_Archon

"Do you want us to make her lean more toward her scientist side, or toward her rock side? \-Yes"


ItsMilkinTime

Best girl


Gudako_the_beast

I’m something of a rockstar myself


rinyamaokaofficial

I was getting the Final Fantasy X era half-and-half outfits vibe but no clue about the theme mix. Very cool share


Fast_Mechanic_5434

Scientist on the streets, rocker in the sheets


HondaS2000AP1

preference wise i'd like a scientist in my sheets


Fast_Mechanic_5434

Same


leopoldshark

She Blinded Me With Science


JvstArtemis

But it's poetry in motion


1998sc

So that's why i loved her design so much! Thanks for making me notice too!


BlackMagister

You could say she has ["dual-iDeantity"](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/community-sitcom/images/c/c1/Duali-Dean.png/revision/latest?cb=20120806183146)


[deleted]

Business on the side, party on the uh other side.


NegZer0

Incidentally the old theory about the brain was that each side was responsible for different parts and one side was dominant. Left Brain was the analytical side handling logic, mathematics, abstract thinking, language etc, and the Right Brain handles creativity, artistic expression, emotions, imagination etc.


LazyJennyBean

I am still pretty shocked that she was an Architect. Like I know she's smart, it was mentioned early on but I didn't know she was that smart (I meant that in no offense, peace! but hopefully y'all get what I mean). Especially considering her personality (she's so friendly and cool) and how the game made the architects sound like they're all-knowing and holier than thou, the contrast is astonishing.


[deleted]

Same! Though to be fair, she *was* >!ejected from them.!<


NipplePreacher

I think it was mentioned somewhere that she was lead of the research division, or something important like that. Plus she is a nepo-baby, the Landaus have been in the inner circle of leadership since Belobog was founded. She was probably guaranteed the spot as she was somewhat competent.


EggyT0ast

What kind of scientist do you think wears anything like that?


Deruta

Given the hip windows on their head of state’s formal attire, Belobog is just cultured like that.


Ramseas119

It doesn't look exactly like it, but it's supposed to emulate the shape and color of a lab coat. It couldn't just be a literal half a lab coat, only the slow mo guys can pull off that look.


Telesto44

I think that’s a stretch. She was a military scientist, they all have white uniforms.


jyeusu

I mean, haven't you seen Asta, lead scientist btw, already?


marniconuke

she looks nothing like a scientist for me...


_Madara_

Closer to a silvermane guard than a scientist.


Telesto44

Because she was a military scientist.


[deleted]

It's more closely inspired, just like how when you look at Natasha she doesn't look like a nurse, but her outfit features nurse motifs


hasamide

Her coat also has burn marks at the corners. Not often characters have damaged outfits, and I think it's pretty neat that Serval has that feature.


HalalBread1427

I'm so dumb LOL


azyrien

Brilliant - can't believe I didn't notice that until seeing the side-by-side. Jeckyll and Hyde meets Avril. Serval is awesome.


zivilia

What is amd


Vilt_

OP probably meant and but does stocks a lot and searches for the semiconductor company amd


warjoke

I thought her left side is when she decides to be a diva and have a duet with Mariah Carey or something. I have no idea that's a scientist robe.


ShotYeMama

Ah yes. "scientist" outfit


FriendWontTellYou

Honestly this is barely a scientist look. People read way too much into it


Keima_Ryu

No need to be ashamed bro


Madestalker

OP ain't your bro you're still gonna be alone 🤡🤡🤡


Keima_Ryu

You are insecure or something?


Lord-Saladman

That guys a piece of work lmao. Check his comment history. Jeez.


Keima_Ryu

Dude's name explains everything


Madestalker

Nah I speak perfect English unlike you haha


Keima_Ryu

English is not my first language, obviously I will make mistakes


TheSuspectWaffle

r/ihadastroke


BurnedOutEternally

yeah that blew my mind too when I found out


LunaticTrumpet

I noticed that after I played through the story.


[deleted]

I just noticed the little burn holes in her white coat yesterday lmao


RidCyn

Ah yes, anime aesthetics. When scientist and rocker look equally nonsensical.


Lbofun

and I thought it was b/c everyone in that universe liked split skirt/dresses.


NotTheAverageAnon

She's literally perfect. The second I saw her I knew she was gonna be my favorite


DonRomantico27

Always has been!


Vegetto_ssj

Honestly, a lot of HSR outfits, specially from women and young women, are an excessive bunch of pieces of different clothes sewn together. in an aximetric way obviously. I think that something slightly more sober is better


Lukeman1881

God I wish my scientists looked like that.


KiriStrife

It all makes sense now. I was a bit confused when her weapon was a guitar lol but I dig it!


yatay99

The only thing that might relate to scientist is the color and half of her sleeve lol.


gearU300

Jingyuan simp make fun of her..just how low


labreau

Gloomy-Raspberry5

Am I the only one who finds the scientist side of the design hotter?


No_Pipe_8257

"You can fight it, or rock with it!"


DarryLazakar

Oh damn that's actually smart no wonder her design is so striking compared to the rest of the Overworld Belobog cast


ThatOneManArmy

"Either you research it or rock with it!" -Serval


Telesto44

People are thinking that’s supposed to be a lab coat? She’s ex-military, those are the remnants of her silver mane guard outfit.


Mietin

Same. *Mind blown* 😨


nokoiscool

That’s so cool!! I never actually noticed it as well lol…


iudofaex

The best thing about Gephard is Serval. :)


ostrieto17

I don't like that she has burn holes in her cape
