i don't HATE the new units... necessarily... but they definitely fumbled this one. this is just for me to put my thoughts in writing because i'm ballin and i post all my fgo art stuff here. blabbing under the cut bc i am talking a lot
i will say PROUDLY though that i'm disappointed there wasn't more enkidu in the event. i didn't do any reading beforehand so i saw larval tiamat and was like OMG! I CAN'T WAIT FOR ENKIDU TO PLAY A (SMALL) ROLE IN THIS EVENT BECAUSE TIAMAT IS HERE AND FROM THE BABYLON SINGULARITY! nope... they want me to die... she only barely references the singularity and her design references are limited to what MIGHT be merlin's flowers on the floor (first and third ascension art) and the cliff of the pit you fought her in on the horizon (also in her third ascension art). which are both so vague i can barely tell if they were intentional.
draco i've already posted about and i'm reading everyone's tags and nodding regretfully. i might make a redesign concept to depict what i think would've been more interesting because character design is my #passion and this game makes me realize i'm actually way more competent than i give myself credit for. i feel like she could've been so cool but i have to cover half my screen whenever she's talking to me and that's still not enough ;_; this crosses over into my opinion on locusta too, in theory i LOVE her i love weird little freaks i think she and xu fu would be great friends. i just hate that every time they interact it's when draco is a child... there could've been perfectly good evil yuri here and they stole it from us i will never forgive them for this
i actually don't hate larva!tiamat surprisingly. i feel like if they're conna CALL her larva they should make her more bug-esque but i know i'm a minority there and i actually think her second ascension is pretty cute if i don't look at it too hard and just appreciate her scarf. i might make a sprite edit or something because it's like oo you were SO CLOSE!! to something actually cute and Then they have to have the obligatory huge boobs final ascension... and she's literally just dressed like beast tiamat can't she at least have some elements of her previous ascensions or SOMETHING i'm so tired. i don't hate the "mother" gimmick pretty much only because i personally can ignore any possible implications and at that point it's like playing pretend with your little cousin or something. yeah sure you can be the mother i'll be the dog whatever.
i'm pretty disappointed with both tbh. draco's final form is pretty cool and i like it, but we spend. so long. with the bikini. it's not nearly enough to make up for it. and tiamat feels so separated from the singularity she first appeared in, which i guess is fine? but it's still disappointing to me personally because i'm a symbolism guy. i might redraw her too but i feel like i'm not personally wronged by her design enough to bother... i like locusta but please for the love of god STOP taking your clothes off i'm so tired. everyone is just stripping all the time PUT A DAMN COAT ON! FUCK!! i need to go draw enkidu in bb dubai's dress to calm down
