MELEE GEAR CONTEST WINNERS

[Silica-chan]

Welp nothing for me but that's ok I guess. Looks like we'll see some Raiden (Metal Gear) / Genji (Overwatch) cosplays soon though.

I might just go back maining Bard over that outfit.

[Bahati]

Oof, this is the winner? There were so many other gorgeous designs to choose from!

ikr? It almost feels like they chose the easiest to make in game. :/

ding ding ding! They said so themselves in one of the earlier contest. One of the design looked pretty badass but due to it having so much pattern and stuff on it, they decided to not make it win, as it would take too much "time" to make it.

But we all know that its because no outfit looked like it in-game and that they couldn't just use reskin it. Like that 2nd outfit winner, thats an easy reskin of post-moogle hat and possibly lightning's top with added cleavage for the women since it already has a type of cape in the same area.

I'm guessing having to model an outfit for 5 seperate races with 2 seperate genders makes that a priority.

Tank contest winner: High-allagan MK-2 (boring indeed) . JAP designer

Magic DPS contest winner : devilish-like black coat , mostly ok but the IG model look not so good thanks to bad clipping. JAP designer

Healer : White coat (extremely boring) that look like cr*p on male characters because it's not the same model. Jap designer

Melee : kinda ok but not the best design. I wonder how it will look like IG. JAP designer

Ranged : Machinist AF MK-2 , so yet again no originality and "surprise" : JAP designer


I won't say that those contest were not totally fair but I sure have doubts...
And SB skins (and not only skins) are just bad in general. Very few "good" design.

Whatever... Continue to give the same thing over and over again, we don't have enough of white robes/coat for healers.

Huh, now I'm suspicious.

Worth noting that 2 more winners were Japanese if you count the hair design contest winners.

Only the Furniture contest, with it's 100 winners, had non-Japanese winners as far as art/design contests go.

A couple of times is a coincidence, it's firmly in the 'pattern' territory now.

This is what I was noticing. I get it's a JP game, but there are plenty of amazing entries from non-JP designers. Even the majority of the runner ups tend to be JP artists, for all of the art contests. If you don't intend on ever picking a winner from a different region, just restrict entries to JP players and be done with it. It's worth noting this current housing contest is region-separated (not sure if the other one was), otherwise I'm sure we'd be seeing a preponderance of this too.

The melee set is really boring and doesn't really fit the feeling of the game. It took me a bit to even comprehend that it was supposed to be a skintight body suit, and not that they were just half-naked. I do like the ranged one though.
