I like the barding. They can keep the rest, though.

I think the chinese team do the artwork design and send it to SE to create the ingame model.

I'd be happy if they could include these outfits with the wings removed. Overall the outfit was okay except for that little detail. They want to either make it region exclusive or they didn't pass the quality control from the people in charge of the JP/NA/EU crowd.

We'll all have it all next year, just like any previous chinese exclusive. Maybe even for 'free' as part of some amazon promo.

I like the coats... But the rest is rather meh.

The mount could be amusing for a while.

..... A segway? Nobody has a problem with it (well.. one person) ? Everyone bags on clouds bike because it doesnt fit the mythology. Everyone says don't put this or that because it's cause weird or modern, yet y'all are psyched about the flaming segway?

*archiving this thread to use at a later date.

This is literally the Ne Zha (哪吒) set, as indicated by the name of the barding: 哪吒装甲 (ne2 zha1 zhuang1 jia3). It's very easy to see where the inspiration for the costume, mount and barding designs come from. Ne Zha is typically portrayed as a young boy with pigtails in Chinese mythology, hence the long "tail" in both the male and female costumes. And the celestial boy general does indeed ride a pair of flaming wheels.

The deity also features in the "Journey to the West" which chronicles the adventures of the Monkey God, Sun Wukong ( 孙悟空 ), as he travelled to the west to help his master retrieve a cache of sutras from the Holy Land. Sun Wukong was the inspiration for the Eastern Attire set and the cloud mount.

The closest equivalent to Ne Zha I can think of in Japanese mythology is Momotaro, but their stories are different enough that I believe they arose from different historical sources.

You may not release this but the mount is in real life part of Chinese mythology, its been around maybe 2 thousand years before Segways or eboards or whatever you call them.

My apologies since I wasn't being clear enough, what I meant was that the character design of Hiten from Inuyasha is imo loosely based on Nezha. This glamour set is indeed based on Nezha. That aside, I do kind of like the set and hope we can get it sometime soon without all the hassle to go through in order to obtain it, especially for our EU account friends. Or just add it directly into the kupo store if that's how they did it for the China servers.
