I agree, more or less. I can take or leave the hairstyle, but the cannons, the big draw of her character, just look so...bland. They're just rectangles with a slightly flared tip, and they look really simple in comparison to Phoebe's bow and arrow. That, and the way she carries them is weird. It's like some...anchor backpack, I guess? I'm not sure I really get why they went with that over something shoulder mounted. I suppose it'd block her face when facing right, but since they've already changed it so they flip back for the new model, I don't see why that wouldn't work for a single cannon.
It's a bummer, because Baozhai was one of my favorite designs during the campaign, and now she's just...kinda "enh".

I was bored so I made/edited this quick Incarnation confirmation chart.
I do what I can.
Not unknown, exactly: SAG-AFTRA actors.
With this game's cast, we felt we needed a wider range of vocal talent, and needed to draw on more than the same voices you hear in every other anime / video game.
Doesn't necessarily mean we won't tap some of the Skullgirls crew, though.
It happened naturally through design and gameplay iteration, but I believe there were also some concerns that the cannon was too big and asymmetrical and it'd be really noticeable if it popped from one shoulder to another.
So far the only thing I've seen is that we've been accidentally tagged in one or two political posts, and someone messaged our FB page to ask if any meet-ups were happening in Connecticut.
Going to put this out before too long - it'll be the last piece I post before we start getting to new stuff.

Heh, interesting. Seems like it's getting pretty big so I imagine there will be some more of those in the future.
Maybe you'll attract some new politically minded RPG fans at the same time.
While that would mesh well with my personal politics, we are staying far, far away from anything overtly political in this climate.

Understood. Just a funny coincidence.
I was thinking about it all last week when I watched the news.
When's Thorani?
Also I know you made Pheobe taller but she also looks a lot more lanky than she did before (and her thighs seems unusually long?) whereas she had a stockier look before. Intentional?
Are these all to scale? If Ajna is about 5'3" (which is what I feel I remember Ravidrath or someone on the team saying) then that would mean Dhar & Qadira are about 6'5" but Baozhai is about 6'10" and Pheobe is about 8'10". That seems unlikely for the latter two?

Ya see, Tungar's short but he's got that reach factor. Ya gotta respect that in his game.

Phoebe is an Amazonian. They're really tall.
Also they no can dunk, but good fundamentals

LabZero has a few videos of progress on her basic harpoon toss already in their Twitch archives.
Via Ravi earlier in the thread:
Like UltimaDrago noted, the intent was that they'd all be playable, but we had to make adjustments after the project was funded for scheduling / game balance reasons.
Whenever possible we're going to keep cut characters as NPCs or Inner Realm Incarnations.
I'm still sad about that, though I guess on the bright side you now know how to better budget future games. However I'm glad you're getting this out of the way early.
If you dropped the redesigned characters and cut cast only a few months from launch I'm not sure you'd survive the outrage.

The original number was based on the animations in the prototype, and we decided that we needed more animations to make battles better.
i.e. The characters now all have forward and backwards movement instead of the dash/glide they had in the prototype, unique supers, and adding those animations to every character meant needing to cut back on the number of characters.
Are you guys planning on announcing the ones who didn't make the cut soon? The waiting has me nervous
No, the plan was to reveal the ones that are actually getting made as we work on them.

Hey Ravi, does LabZero play console games in the office (leisurely)? I wonder with the Switch launch if someone will bring their console in for Show-and-Tell. lol

What do you mean by unique supers? What changed?
I think he's referring to the fact that supers in the prototype were almost entirely recycled assets.

While late to the party, I am loving Bao's new look! Gives me Ruby Heart vibes~
Hope Nuna is playable and doesn't change much.....but then again you guys always pick the best designs so you might be able to surprise me if you re-design her.

Lately the artists have been playing Seaman and posting about it on Twitter.
As Samemind said, all the supers in the prototype were mostly combos reusing existing animations.
In the final game all the characters will have unique super animations.
Stuff like we showed here for Razmi, Tungar and Zebei:

Today we got an update with the lovely music that I believe everyone is listening and I mean everyone!

Would this be the last? Would a battle theme be next? dun dun dunnn

So Ravidrath, how much of that art that Alex posted recently about Baozhai can we take to heart (see above)? I noticed her design in that art doesn't match up exactly with the art that seems to be getting animated. Which is correct?
Also, is that picture with the full revealed playable cast to scale? Are all the characters drawn in that image to the same scale? As I mentioned above, the heights seem a bit off?

I went to go upgrade, and found out I was already at Physical tier =p

Yay! This is the one I was waiting for.
I'll be backing the collector's edition shortly!
When we give money to the tip jar does that help?

Slap on those Lanshi plushie add-ons so I can give more~
I can't get over how much Baozhai reminds me of the Navarch set for Corsair in FFXI - I recall a couple of nods to the game in Skullgirls, but those were references to much older aspects of it.

Can't believe we're actually gonna finally meet that VO goal.
The model sheet is the final Baozhai design - Alex's art are concept sketches from before we had settled on the final design.
And that should be to scale!
If it's new money, yes. If it's credit you have leftover from IGG, no.
And while of course we appreciate the tips, I'd honestly rather you get something for your money, even if it means buying another item to give to a friend, etc.
I hadn't heard this piece yet so it was a nice surprise.
If you have a PS4, it's the same song that plays in the Indivisible dynamic theme!
Purely coincidental, because I haven't played FFXI since... 2007 or so?
You just want us to funnel more money!
More seriously, I'd be willing to buy another physical copy if this ever goes to Switch.
I guess the skull/crossbone bit on her chest was too hard to animate? It looked cool so that's a bummer. Can we expect the four cannon shot, grappling hook and cannon rocket boosters to show up in the actual game?
As for the scale, if that is true, can you address this post I made earlier:
If that image is to scale then some of those images seem implausible?
Amazon and fearsome pirate captain. It's like One Piece; your size is proportional to your authority/power within your organization also the main character is unusually diminutive.
The team has released a survey in their twitter.
While most of it is normal survey thingies, it asks specifically about the Switch, if you have one, if you'd be interested in a Switch version, etc.
So go do the survey if you want the game to come to the platform!

Switch up this survey boys.
The question on the intent to buy a Switch lacks an option along the lines of "it looks interesting, but nothing so far has convinced me to buy it yet", since that's where I currently stand, most responses there make it seem either like a matter of time or an absolute rejection. I'm not that much into Zelda, but announce a new Smash Bros, some new SNK exclusive, the 2nd coming of Fighters Megamix and/or Project X Zone 3 for the thing and it definitely gets my attention.

Thanks for the heads-up. Took the survey.
I did my part
Assuming this is true, great news!Just a heads up but doing the math, it seems we have reached the "Full VO for all Major Characters" stretch goal!
Was hopeful this one would get hit

They already took it down. I didn't get to fill it out.
