maybe an unpopular opinion i really don't know but i genuinely love awakenings fuckass character design decisions. random gear neckpieces. toilet bowl armour. exposed wire petticoats. whatever is wrong with the knight helmets
what the fuck is this. i want 11 more on my desk by monday
#awakeningposting#<-someone remind me later to retroactively tag like half my posts as this#some of these decisions are just so baffling but like??? i have to respect the audacity#another unmentioned favourite is like. that thing they keep doing with the torsos on armor. kinda visible in the cav design (bottom left)#its like a weird mix between a grid a corset and ribs/spine. i dont know how to interpret it but its distinct! i will give it that#i think what i like about it specifically is that. its so unique and nonsensical#but it's completely internally consistent#the character's design elements all borrow directly from their intended class#its just that the class design is. unique. and i think thats awesome actually#it makes no sense at all. but it doesn't need to. it gives the game and world#such an interesting aesthetic#ylisse operates on rule of cool and rule of cool ALONE. 11/10 no notes#sorry i was ogling priam fucking up his paralogue and like. he is peak awakening design actually#him and lissa i think epitomize it all really well. dont ask me why they just do#it just clicked in my brain right then as i realized i forgot to restock my dragonstone and had to restart
