What's new

Spoiler Thread. People officially have the game already (NO STORY SPOILERS)

Only 1 week to go and it looks like it's a reasonable time for the flood gates to be open.

The other spoiler thread was locked so I think it's a good time to make one again where people could post their spoilers.

NGL, female characters' designs in this game are underwhelming across the board from what I've seen.

The only ones with more than two decent skins are Kitana and D'Vorah.

Nothing to do with how much skin they show. They're just bland and samey as fuck. Loincloths do not make an outfit, NRS.
Really?

So far I'm only disappointed with Cassie's skins.
 
My hype for this game goes up and down, up and down every minute
I'm just disappointed by these skins, Cassie doesn't have a single good looking one and they'll look way too similar.
They don't have the Injustice variety or the uniqueness of MKX. MK11 is the worst of both worlds.
I did notice how some of the skins shown in the previous build were fairly similiar and was thinking about this earlier, I believe a lot of skins in this game are gonna require a very specific color/gear combination to really look good and unique. I think most of the skins will be able to be salvaged this way.

I can't get rid of the feeling that they all look too similar. When I saw Kitana's new costume I immediately thought "isn't this Skarlet's alt painted blue?".
I'd also argue the "skin shown" makes Frost stand out way less than she should. She doesn't look like a cyborg, but just wearing the same type of outfit other characters wear. The giant Kronika's stamp on her design doesn't help her individuality either.

Yeah. There's three big problems going on for me:

1. I don't like Kronika's Army designs in general (Jax, Jacqui, Frost, Geras)

2. I don't like superheroic/sleek Injusticey designs in general (Cetrion, and all the Kronika's Army designs mentioned before)

3. There's a lot of generic jacket/jeans combos and loincloths that have no personality at all on the female side of the roster. Whereas you look at the guys, even characters who could get away with having very similar outfits, don't. Shao Kahn and Kotal Kahn look absolutely NOTHING alike in any of their skins.

And why the fuck is Jacqui wearing a dressy loincloth, of all characters? You might as well have given it to Sonya for all the sense that makes. I don't buy that a "feminine" looking design is automatically interesting just by virtue of being feminine.

Indeed, I mentioned this after the reveal event, but I feel like their current vision for the costumes does not leave a lot of room for creativity. I think they've gone overboard with little details on the costumes instead of focusing on making them look really unique and attractive. For many of the characters, it seems like each costume is just a slight variation of the other ones. I don't think it helps that 1/3 of the female cast is military women as well. They're gonna look pretty same-y.

I also agree that it makes Frost stand out less. I certainly think the costume design has generally been a step down from MKX (where I think they peaked), but I have hope for some good DLC costumes down the road. It's nothing they can't fix.
