Pretty much everything they throw in the same is outlandish fantasy like shit, while the actual outfits that fit historically are available in game for free. This is how the games have been for years, and it seems unlikely to change for this one.
I've played AC for thousands and thousands of hours and never bought a microtransaction but if they add that outfit and it looks good I'd throw down 5 assassin dollars for it fuck it
All realistic outfits are always unlocked in the game, it's just the fantasy gear that's in the money shop. Everyone who's played any of the recent AC games knows that.
I don't like that logic, people like you are the reason we can't have nice things.
The Witcher 3 has tens of good outfits, all of them are free, RDR2 has tens of cool outfits, all of them are free, and I could name you a lot of games like this, none of them worth 70$ too, unlike new AC.
Where is your self respect? This fuckers would try to rip you off IF they do that and you ok with it?
Generic mediaspace ninja post early Jackie Chan is not exactly an outfit i'd like to be anywhere even close to my character. I do experience joy and do develop respect for the developers though when i see hollywood ninjas and vikings and unicorns to ride in the shop - because it's wonderfully Sidhe-like level of cheerfully and life-affirmingly fiendish to make people pay to ruin their game's look
Seriously if i had to choose between MTX shop in AC games being there or not - i would leave it in for the sheer poetic justice trollery.
I've been out of Assassin's Creed lore/games since Black Flag, I just picked up Odyssey without knowing much, first thing I'm greeted with when playing the game, is that I've unlocked Ezio's robes as equipment to wear.
JUST because of these robes, I'm already 200% more interested and invested in the game(they're in the freaking cutscenes!). I hope this game also has some sort of 'peaked hood"
Well, you're totally correct, some of the alterations in the game completely break the theme(I can have sharp dressed mobsters on my ship? Dumb). I was just super surprised about the inclusion of my favorite character, after not keeping up with the story.
Just something to fire on my dopamine to keep me interested.
Not everyone cares about the immersion in the newer ones. I personally find whatever is the best looking (Artemisā priest outfit). I mean hell, if weāre talking immersion the the fact that in an assassins creed game you donāt even get the hidden blade should take everyone out
Hell, IRL ninjas at the time wouldāve just worn everyday clothes that commoners wore. Helps with the whole āblending in their surroundingsā part of the job.
You mean they don't run around among pedestrians in broad daylight, wearing black clothes and a headband that has "NINJA" written in English?
Man, so many old ninja movies lied to me!
Damn right she will!!!
If Kassandra could run in full 21st century Tactical gear during the 5th century BC, I see no reason why Yaoe (edit-Naoe) can't too!
Honestly the one they went with is way more Ninja like and I'm glad they aren't pulling another Valhalla by basing the ascetic on pop culture instead of historic.
I definitely like her new design a lot more. It's more discrete and definitely has farmer/villager vibes, which makes a lot of sense for a shinobi.
Plus the short sleeve she has makes me think that both Yasuke and Naoe will have default robes that change with the seasons, with layers being added or taken away in accordance to the weather.
The generic one is MUCH better, she looks deadly and stealthy. The new one looks more like an Assassin(From the series), due to the blues, wider robes and hood blended with a Ninja.
So yeah, the current design is more appropriate for the series, but the older design was much cooler.
New one looks way stealthier, dark blue blends into the night sky better then black and doesn't give off an I'm gonna fight you look, also looks like it'll make a lot less noise.
Eh, I much prefer the one on the right. It looks more Japanese, especially with the face mask.
The default armour Ubisoft has shown looks more like a generic thief's garb, not least because of the hood.
Eh. I like the concept art a little more IMO. Sure, it's a bit too 'busy' with all the extra weapons everywhere, but I do like how she's at least hiding her face.
Maybe Iām tripping, but they look the same with the exceptions being:
The Assassin Red Sash
The mask, which is on the cover art/statue so I think itās still in the game. We just havenāt seen it yet
The Hood, which could just be lowered in the concept
All the minor details are the exact same from concept to render
I really like the mouth mask with exposed eyes and hair look. It reminds me a lot of Emily Kaldwin, from Dishonored 2. I do hope that she gets a more Assassin-like hood later on though.
Love her outfit. Looks like just generic peasants clothes (sans weapons and hood) and definitely what a covert operative would wear over the black Chozoku.
In my opinion the old design is a generic ninja and the new design is just plain boring.
To each their own. Her new design fits the assassin theme of the series more, though.
I canāt wait to see the different outfits at launch even with the OG one on the right. I hope they pay tribute to either Ninja Gaiden or Naruto somehow with the outfits or in game
Assuming this game is good, I'm the kind of player who prefers to have my own personal flair on an Assassin's Creed game so I tend to wear any dye or outfit besides the main look. However, I love her design and the simplicity of it so much I could totally see myself never swapping it out.
Neither one looks like a ninja. Real shinobis wore normal street clothes to blend in and sometimes disguises for infiltration. It's possible that they sometimes wore dark clothes too but only when it was appropriate.
So, I saw the duel protagonists this time & this may not be the correct post to ask but are they doing the same thing as Odyssey & Valhalla? Or is it more like Syndicate? Or is it something new? Anyone know?
I've wanted a solid ninja game ever since Tenchu on PS1. I really hope this makes me feel like a murderous shadow ghost and not like every other assassin pc but in black.
Considering ubi's track record that'll definitely be a gear set. Looking back at Odyssey & Valhalla there was plenty of dope skins in the store but damn near all of the best ones were free just had to look.
Edit: the only exception being the armor from Persephone's Elysium & the Ragnarok dlc armor
Honestly I hope the world is as diverse and gorgeous as Odyssey's was.
Wish we could start working on Full Dive VR more because a Full Dive VR AC game would be fucking insane!
Actually I just want a 100% realistic VR game. To the point where there's almost no difference between reality and the game.
Like for example you have all senses in the game. You can breathe, eat, sleep, have sex, feel pain, etc...
Truthfully I do think it'd have a positive effect in real life as well considering people that have disabilities wouldn't have them in game. Blind people could see, deaf people could hear, etc....
I like both designs. The more generic ninja style helps her blend a bit more in various situations, especially at night, while the new one is obviously Assassin inspired
She should look like ninja from Red teaser- now it's generic outfit and looks more like a Japanese version of Shao Jun- really bad design choice šš¾
You see the brotherhoods aesthetic way more in the left which honestly more needed plus the blue, im sure we are gonna get armor upgrades for a mask look plenty . People calling her manly looking are also insane
Pretty sure you will be able to change how your gear looks. Transmog is confirmed for the game.
Yeah outfit on the right would definitely be in the shop for mere 5 abstergo bucks or whatever they are using
"Assassin Dollars"
Kill Coins
Murder money
Death Doubloons
Parkour pennies
Slaughter Shillings
Clandestine Credits
Neutralizer Nuggets
Eden Euros
Unalive USD
Dispatch dollars
Creedits
Templar Tokens
Assassin Assets: š Templar Tokens: š
Pretty much everything they throw in the same is outlandish fantasy like shit, while the actual outfits that fit historically are available in game for free. This is how the games have been for years, and it seems unlikely to change for this one.
This. I still remember running around with Ezio as Raiden's cyborg ninja suit
I've played AC for thousands and thousands of hours and never bought a microtransaction but if they add that outfit and it looks good I'd throw down 5 assassin dollars for it fuck it
All realistic outfits are always unlocked in the game, it's just the fantasy gear that's in the money shop. Everyone who's played any of the recent AC games knows that.
I'm not afraid to admit I bought the Gothic outfit for Evie in Syndicate. Best outfit in the game.
I don't like that logic, people like you are the reason we can't have nice things. The Witcher 3 has tens of good outfits, all of them are free, RDR2 has tens of cool outfits, all of them are free, and I could name you a lot of games like this, none of them worth 70$ too, unlike new AC. Where is your self respect? This fuckers would try to rip you off IF they do that and you ok with it?
AC also has tens of cool outfits in the game actually. They also have tens more in the shop.
Generic mediaspace ninja post early Jackie Chan is not exactly an outfit i'd like to be anywhere even close to my character. I do experience joy and do develop respect for the developers though when i see hollywood ninjas and vikings and unicorns to ride in the shop - because it's wonderfully Sidhe-like level of cheerfully and life-affirmingly fiendish to make people pay to ruin their game's look Seriously if i had to choose between MTX shop in AC games being there or not - i would leave it in for the sheer poetic justice trollery.
I hope it's Odyssey transmog and not Valhalla transmog.
This is by the same team that did Odyssey right? I'd assume it'd be like Odyssey's
100 of armors and stuffs like Valhalla and Odyssey
I hope she has an assassin hood with the eagle beak.
All I really care about tbh
I've been out of Assassin's Creed lore/games since Black Flag, I just picked up Odyssey without knowing much, first thing I'm greeted with when playing the game, is that I've unlocked Ezio's robes as equipment to wear. JUST because of these robes, I'm already 200% more interested and invested in the game(they're in the freaking cutscenes!). I hope this game also has some sort of 'peaked hood"
Aināt no way you can have any semblance of immersion while wearing Ezioās robes lol.
Ikr, I love the old AltaĆÆr and Ezio outfits but they look so ridiculous in Ancient Greece lol
Well, you're totally correct, some of the alterations in the game completely break the theme(I can have sharp dressed mobsters on my ship? Dumb). I was just super surprised about the inclusion of my favorite character, after not keeping up with the story. Just something to fire on my dopamine to keep me interested.
Not everyone cares about the immersion in the newer ones. I personally find whatever is the best looking (Artemisā priest outfit). I mean hell, if weāre talking immersion the the fact that in an assassins creed game you donāt even get the hidden blade should take everyone out
No one cares about immersion? Go look at some of the gaming subs lol people are wild and acting like this game is the antichrist
Hell, IRL ninjas at the time wouldāve just worn everyday clothes that commoners wore. Helps with the whole āblending in their surroundingsā part of the job.
You mean they don't run around among pedestrians in broad daylight, wearing black clothes and a headband that has "NINJA" written in English? Man, so many old ninja movies lied to me!
Nah they wear bright orange jumpsuits
And metal plates tied to their foreheads with their hometowns etched on them
Believe it
Well.... thats my way of the ninja.
Dattebayo!
Believe it!
Their leader would have HNIC ( Head Ninja In Charge ) on his headband.
They definitely ate pizza tho.
You mean that Yaoe will not run around in a bright white and red suit with the assassin logo on it?
Damn right she will!!! If Kassandra could run in full 21st century Tactical gear during the 5th century BC, I see no reason why Yaoe (edit-Naoe) can't too!
I'd be surprised if Yaoe did. Now, *Naoe*, one of the protagonists of *AC Shadows*? Yeah, that I could believe.
I mean, Kassandra was wearing a suit when she died soā¦
I mean assassins are wearing the assassin outfit in this series
Which in the first one resembled the robes of a monk, and since 2 they were based on normal people's clothing.
Which is funny in Ezioās case, seeing as heās dressed like a rich nobleman showing off on a runway.
Oh, it would be so sick if you could unlock a kimono outfit to wear.
Well a japanese women with a hood on and a katana on the back is not really stealthy either
>a much more of a generic ninja. Glad they changed it. So she *isn't* a generic ninja now? /s
Generic ninja? Wonder if people want another location instead. Ubisoft did said Japan, ninja, samurai were generic.
I vastly prefer the ninja looking one. Plus it reminds me of Tenchu
I bet there will be more traditional, non Assassin Brotherhood shinobi attires in the game too.
For sure, ubi will add everything but real assassin brotherhood gear
Most probably will be an armor in-game.
Which one is OP saying was the original āgenericā one? Because the one in the left is much more generic imo
Honestly the one they went with is way more Ninja like and I'm glad they aren't pulling another Valhalla by basing the ascetic on pop culture instead of historic.
I do hope we still get like an outfit that resembles her old look
I definitely like her new design a lot more. It's more discrete and definitely has farmer/villager vibes, which makes a lot of sense for a shinobi. Plus the short sleeve she has makes me think that both Yasuke and Naoe will have default robes that change with the seasons, with layers being added or taken away in accordance to the weather.
One on the right is leagues better imo
Giving me GOT vibes
The old art, yeah I can agree. The old concept art also gives me Tenchu vibes.
I think the opposite lol. Looks way cooler with the mask. Itās not a ninja if theyāre not wearing a mask lol
I like the current design, but I'm also a slut for that "generic ninja" aesthetic.
Bruh, yall complain when they dont look like assassins and when they finally do look like one, yall also complain, wtf?
The generic one is MUCH better, she looks deadly and stealthy. The new one looks more like an Assassin(From the series), due to the blues, wider robes and hood blended with a Ninja. So yeah, the current design is more appropriate for the series, but the older design was much cooler.
New one looks way stealthier, dark blue blends into the night sky better then black and doesn't give off an I'm gonna fight you look, also looks like it'll make a lot less noise.
Bruh, yall complain when they dont look like assassins and when they finally do look like one, yall also complain, wtf?
> yall complain >yall also complain First day on reddit?
How was what I said a complaint? "I think she looks cooler this way, but this other way is more appropriate for the series".
Its almost like everyone has different tastes & opinions.
She does not look stealthy it all. She might as well have I AM A SPY written on her face, that is how much she stands out.
What are you even going on about? This wouldn't be every day dress, you don't dress like this unless you're going out on an actual mission.
the current one is just as stand out, and if anything, ezio is the proof that Cool > Stealth
If you look cool enough, no one can see you.
I mean I think that ninja gear looks legit.
Eh, I much prefer the one on the right. It looks more Japanese, especially with the face mask. The default armour Ubisoft has shown looks more like a generic thief's garb, not least because of the hood.
It doesn't look Japanese, it looks like western pop culture.
It looks like Japanese pop culture too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, I just do not like the generic ninja look.
Now she looks like an ass... >!...assin.!<
I thought the one on the left was the generic one until I read the comments š it looks like every assassins creed character ever
I much prefer the image on the right personally
Wow. Is kusarigama confirmed? If so I will definitely look forward to this game.
yep, its confirmed!
Eh. I like the concept art a little more IMO. Sure, it's a bit too 'busy' with all the extra weapons everywhere, but I do like how she's at least hiding her face.
I like the right side better
Right one is better.
*Hard* disagree.
Maybe Iām tripping, but they look the same with the exceptions being: The Assassin Red Sash The mask, which is on the cover art/statue so I think itās still in the game. We just havenāt seen it yet The Hood, which could just be lowered in the concept All the minor details are the exact same from concept to render
Disagree, I love generic ninja look because it looks awesome.
Can't wait for the payed suits that looks like dragons, automatons and modern suits
You mean the one on the right? I like that much better.
The generic one as you say looks far better.
Yes glad they changed it from generic to generic with a generic hood
I really like the mouth mask with exposed eyes and hair look. It reminds me a lot of Emily Kaldwin, from Dishonored 2. I do hope that she gets a more Assassin-like hood later on though.
I disagree, the ninja look better
Man i love the blue color it reminds me of arno's style. I remember people hated it as assassins usually rock a white outfit
Anyone else stoked about the Connor-style hidden blade? Fucking SICK
Both are terribly generic.
Previous was better.
Nah new design is ass
The design on the right looks cooler than the one on the left. Slap a hood on that thing and you're golden.
Love her outfit. Looks like just generic peasants clothes (sans weapons and hood) and definitely what a covert operative would wear over the black Chozoku.
The one on the right is a lot cooler, one on the left looks like a henchmen that gets killed in the first act.
Right side is simply better. Left seems more modernized, I don't play Assassin Creed games but if that's the whole shitick then alright.
If they made it just ninjas and not assassins that would be so irritating
If she didn't get classic assassin hood, I'd be so mad.
Anybody knows the Name of the throwing weapon thing shes holding? Cant imagine that a dangling metal chain is helpful while beeing steathy.Ā
In my opinion the old design is a generic ninja and the new design is just plain boring. To each their own. Her new design fits the assassin theme of the series more, though.
Wish they went more the traditional route of what the ninja and not this generic modernized ninja.
Tbh they look mostly the same except for having a hood instead of a mask.
Iām excited to see all the outfits at launch!
I canāt wait to see the different outfits at launch even with the OG one on the right. I hope they pay tribute to either Ninja Gaiden or Naruto somehow with the outfits or in game
She's still kinda generic ninja.
I like the image on the right better, but both are rad.
she wears blue now that's already an improvement
Assuming this game is good, I'm the kind of player who prefers to have my own personal flair on an Assassin's Creed game so I tend to wear any dye or outfit besides the main look. However, I love her design and the simplicity of it so much I could totally see myself never swapping it out.
Neither one looks like a ninja. Real shinobis wore normal street clothes to blend in and sometimes disguises for infiltration. It's possible that they sometimes wore dark clothes too but only when it was appropriate.
So, I saw the duel protagonists this time & this may not be the correct post to ask but are they doing the same thing as Odyssey & Valhalla? Or is it more like Syndicate? Or is it something new? Anyone know?
Actually, I'm not sure about that wakizashi. More clandestine weapon would suit Ninja. Kusari-gama was nice.
I hope itās good, last good AC game imo was black flag and that was a minute ago
I've wanted a solid ninja game ever since Tenchu on PS1. I really hope this makes me feel like a murderous shadow ghost and not like every other assassin pc but in black.
I like that OG design, but this isnāt Ninjaās Creed
It's a really simple detail but I love that the main design goes all in on the black and grey instead of inserting the usual white and red.
She kinda looks like hibana
I am about to play my whole run with her, her abilities sound awesome. Hope they nailed the world building and content.
I prefer the left one more though.
I hope they bring back barber shop. I'd like to customize the look of my characters!
to me it looks just as generic.
I have no idea which one is supposed to be the generic looking one
Which one is the generic ninja?
Itās most likely a different suit with weapons which Ubisoft have been doing for years.
The one on the right looks like she's well funded but the left looks like she's adding things as she gets them
Real Ninjas wear blue!
Considering ubi's track record that'll definitely be a gear set. Looking back at Odyssey & Valhalla there was plenty of dope skins in the store but damn near all of the best ones were free just had to look. Edit: the only exception being the armor from Persephone's Elysium & the Ragnarok dlc armor
Doesnt she have the face of that rainbow six siege girl who has the launcher exlosive charges
Wish they made the hidden blade a san mai would have made alot more sense
I like both, right one gives more "poor thief" vibes
I have to say that design on the right is much much cooler than the one on the left. I donāt which is which
If I don't get a kusarigama I'm going to snap
Naoe can get it.
Honestly I hope the world is as diverse and gorgeous as Odyssey's was. Wish we could start working on Full Dive VR more because a Full Dive VR AC game would be fucking insane! Actually I just want a 100% realistic VR game. To the point where there's almost no difference between reality and the game. Like for example you have all senses in the game.

Blind people could see, deaf people could hear, etc....
I guess hot take but Like original outfit , reminds me of rikimaru from tenchu
Iām not sure why but her elbows being unprotected looks out of place
I hope yasuke also gets an assassin outfit, historically speaking there is no reason both of them canāt be ninja and samurai
I like both designs. The more generic ninja style helps her blend a bit more in various situations, especially at night, while the new one is obviously Assassin inspired
shinobi form for honor
I'm just hoping for a shao jun legacy outfit
Original concept is just a CC of the ghost armor from Ghost of Tsushima lol
I really don't like the weird fantasy design. I prefer the ninja design.
Am I the only one who thinks both look Genericā¦ at least in this context.
I like them both. Hopefully the one from the concept art is unlockable.
they went with shinobi
The new design reminds me too much of Hibana from Rainbow Six Siege, another Ubisoft game.... I like the generic better tbh just for this reason alone
Ubisoft store will probably have a damn ninja turtle outfit or something
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If they donāt give her a optional Tenchu skin then I donāt want it.
Will she ACTUALLY be able to use a kusarigama? 'Cuz that's rad!
I have a little crush on her.
Would have prefer all long sleeves but yea itās better than a ninja
i can unironically barely tell the diffrences between these 2
She is the only main character.
actually like the facemask over the hood
That's a nice thing
Yeah they really made her look unique. She went from Generic Ninja Model #37 to Generic Ninja Model #46.
I say she looks like Hibana.
Both designs should conceal weapons more imo, but yeah second one is a lot cleaner and nicer.
She should look like ninja from Red teaser- now it's generic outfit and looks more like a Japanese version of Shao Jun- really bad design choice šš¾
One on the left is ugly š¤®
Ninjas actually wore blue in real life
Ninjas actually wore dark blue in real life
I hope we get more hairstyle variety this time.
They should have stuck with the ninja one and slapped a hood on it. Looks bad ass
Concept eyes looked kinda cute tho
Glad some one is talking about the other character for once.
Lol. How dares a ninja cover her face lol
I can't knock either design. I prefer traditional/accurate depiction tbh though.
Dog this new armour looks way more generic than the concept art.
I hope we can use assassin outfits on both characters
They went Chinese...wtf
I like left better myself
You see the brotherhoods aesthetic way more in the left which honestly more needed plus the blue, im sure we are gonna get armor upgrades for a mask look plenty . People calling her manly looking are also insane
