PSO2 JP AC Scratch: Winners Design 4 [Side A]

[Ryuhou]

It's Here!!!
...yeah >_>

A handful cool stuff and mostly meh things. This might have been the most disappointing design contest yet, like 5 times more boring stuff than usual won this time.
Why do jps tend have such a boring as hell taste? We got a friggin' housewife outfit for Christ's sake over all the amazing costumes that didn't make it.
Not to mention the incredibly lame rocket punch camo and the utter fail hamster bag camo. The entire point of the hamster bacg was that it looks like a hamster's face, yet sega failed and it looks like a generic, boring as all hell bag now.
Also, head pudding, what the actual fuck?
We got stuff almost exactly like this in masses from FUN scratch, absolutely no one needed a stupid head pudding when have stuff like head curry already. And if, then FUN scratch would be more than enough.

Worst part is that Sega seems to actually throw away all or almost all other entries, they could easily save a lot of money and make players happy by changing the contest to have everyone vote on stuff they like, the stuff with most votes wins but everything above a certain threshold is popular enough and all will gradually be added in scratch.

I'm only gonna get a few things, of the entries I would have gotten over half:

Type-3 Straitjacket, maybe if it's not overpriced too much
Rakshasa Garment in a couple of colors I think
Luna Stilna, maybe some of the colors look good
Rakshasa Hair, unless overpriced like hair can get
Fluffy Bob Hair, unless overpriced like hair can get
maybe White / Purple Gothic Collar, but I get the feeling it's gonna be expensive as hell
Photon Fish B
Rhapsodian Wrath



Of these it's only 4 I really like, Rakshasa Garment, Fluffy Bob Hair, Photon Fish B and Rhapsodian Wrath.

Wow, 1 item in the FUN scratch, soon they will scrap it and fill the AC scratch with room stuff and silly nobody-will-use accesories just to bloat it.

Nothing of interest for me at least, 10/10 will still buy stuff to resell months later.

Feather hair costs as much as expected. Rakshasa's price tag is a surprise though. It does look nice, just not 50m nice.

[Ryuhou]

I'm still waiting for Sega to realize they save money and make players happy if they give us all the awesome stuff from the various design contests and not only a handful items each.
Cause then it doesn't matter what entry one except for the designers.
But Sega has never been one to actually have an eye for good business.

It's not practical that they'd ever do all of the entries.

At the very least, the contest winners should be chosen by an open vote by the player community, which it never is apparently, and we get shit like this as a result.

Which can always be argued as a skimpier version of a previous design contest winner.

They are nothing alike.
The shoe and the symmetry of Rakshasa is just...

Exactly. One is asymmetry done right.
What we have now is literally everything that can possibly go wrong, did.

Zephyrasence is simply better than Rakshasa, hands down. Even better, I got it in green, which Rakshasa doesn't come in.

Not to mention the amount of male fashion is even more dismal than usual. 1 month : 1 wear and 2 costumes, and all that is just female stuff that male chars can use.

Seems like the new ratio for male only stuff will be one every 2 month now, in before we get one item a year or stg.

I will always hold it against SEGA for not picking this

The unfortunate reality is they just cater to the majority.

At least in the case of CASTs you can still come up with good looking designs.

I'm alright with catering to the majority since it has always been like that for fashion,but I feel that since the introduction of layered wear, and even more so the past few months, it's been quite extreme. more than "catering to a majority", it really feels now that they won't even bother throwing the occasional bone to CASTs, caseals and male charas and just pretend they don't exist

So....bad. Looking at it hurts my eyes.

Eh, they've gone through phases where they didn't give casts/males anything even before layered wear. I mean, the last few months have been worse, yeah....but considering most of the characters I play fall into Cast/Caseal anyway....

Well, it doesn't feel that different to me because I've almost always been shat on. Doesn't help that my tastes are far more pragmatic than Sega seemed capable of handling past the first 4 months of the game. I mean, seriously, I wasn't truly happy with En's look past starter RAcast parts for 4 years and I've pretty much accepted that I'll never be truly happy with how Violet or Halcyon look in parts. Sega just isn't in the market for that kind of look and I'm picky as hell on top of it.

[Batty]

speaking of wich, is there any news about when the Side B is gonna be released? i really want that JB, partizan, DB water weapon camo

[XykeVayaris]

Just hoping they don't forget the male character base completely .-.)
