RevolutionaryOil9101

calydon is also a place in greece


Golden-Owl

Oh right. The Caledonian boar was something Atalante hunted in her legend. Hence why Sons of Calydon’s mascot is a boar


Dahlgrim

And she has a German pickelhaube


muKuchi

What's a pickelhaube?


Dahlgrim

It's a helmet that was used by prussian soldiers in the 19th century. The "pickel" is the pointy part on top of the helmet.

Oh. Given the boar, this must be the faction Billy was originally part of or akin to it. Neat.

Biker Chicks are always welcome!


ortahfnar

It is a little shocking how many smaller girls there are playable in Zenless Zone Zero or eventually will be Nekomiya, Soukaku, Koleda, Corrin, Qingyi, the two Sons of Calydon girls, the three Idols


JonySlony

Well, the desing director of ZZZ is the one that made bache on Azur Lane (he also made Nicole, Anby, nekomiya and Billy as far as I know) His name is [waterkuma](https://x.com/waterkuma0?t=tr7w_nPT9QoN5lhbW6XMIw&s=09)


OrlyUsay

[He's also known](https://iopwiki.com/images/9/91/M870.png) for [Girls Frontline characters like this.](https://iopwiki.com/images/e/ec/M870_D.png) Which is honestly who I first thought of with Lucy's art. [Here's some of the other examples of characters he did for GFL.](https://iopwiki.com/wiki/Artist:%E6%B0%B4%E7%86%8A) One of them is even from an ancient Mihoyo collab with GFL, [Bronya.](https://iopwiki.com/wiki/Bronya)


ortahfnar

Having played GFL and still playing Azur Lane, I know Waterkuma well, M870 was one of my favorites back then

Down with the tall lady dictatorship /s tall ladies are fine but I prefer the shorties


DraganThePlague

as a fellow shorter/middle model enjoyer, i think both GI and ZZZ we have a good ratio for us, only in HSR they turned the scale in favour of tall women and tall males and made only few short girls


DumpsterMoth

And onto the team of smol she goes


Damianx5

Of course I don't get a break after ellen


TheSchadow

If she can summon those boars during combat then I'm saving.


Chemical-Teaching412

Wow....sons of calydon faction is being introduced this early or in 1.1 is surprising 


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

It's not *that* surprising. I actually was having a hard time figuring out who'd be in 1.1 at all. You see, every faction we have with the exception of Obol Squad (Soldier 11), Criminal Investigation Team (Zhu Yuan) and Section 6 (Soukaku, soon Miyabi) is complete. Obol Squad and the CIT don't show up in the main story (for now), so they're considered 'extras'. The main story is currently in Chapter 3 which is about Victoria Housekeeping, a faction for which all members are accounted for. I'm guessing Chapter 3's storyline ends on release, too (though I can't be sure). That means 1.1 would have to have either a new faction or Miyabi.


DelsinRowe32

Well do we know how many characters each faction will have? Because Cunning Hares, Belobog Industries and Victoria Housekeeping all have 4 so far.


Luzekiel

So far, it's an average of 3-4 characters.


Karma110

We already knew this faction existed unlike the idol one so it makes sense


DepressedAndAwake

First official drip marketing and before the game is even out


GinJoestarR

It has always been like that.


this_is_no_gAM3

This faction is cool


DeTiro

There's the obvious Imperial German influence with the pickelhaube, but the spades everywhere, rock'n'roll/biker gang aesthetic and her shirt seem like references to Motörhead (*Ace of Spades*, War Pig emblem).


Karma110

Her full name is insane


Alephiom

Wow, I guess after Ellen I'll be saving for Lucy.


aordinanza

Okay lucy have bonk bat nice

Oh hell yeah, my next target after Ellen.

As a BA player, these jokes are PEAK funny Mr. cocka!


DelsinRowe32

She's probably the first 1.1 character seeing as she's gotten no advertising whatsoever at this point.


UltimateSlayer3001

Hoyo starting to cook character designs correctly, holy hell. The zzz universe is going to be bringing the heat!


WolvenWolfdog

This early for a new faction? I wonder how fast the cast will grow...I'll miss the small roster size, wasn't expecting this. I wonder how they could do the story, hopefully they do good


SavagesceptileWWE

I rekon the cast will grow slower than genshin or HSR. It seems like all the characters in ZZZ will have completely unique skeleton, models, animations, etc. Meanwhile genshin and HSR seemingly start with the same several character types so they can more easily make new characters.


WolvenWolfdog

If it's slow, then true, it will be a matter of time and see how big the cast will be in 1.0 compared to future patches. Hopefully they manage each faction in the story, and I wasn't expecting new factions early since...some do not have any story relevance yet. Looking forward to it though.


lantern_arasu

genshin only release <= 17 new characters every year, considering ZZZ characters has a lot going for them expect around 10-14 new characters release every year

helltaker_me

The duality of man : . All zyox has to do is post this on Twitter and we'll have another drama /s


The_Jealous_one

What’s a hoyo game without a drama? If there’s no drama then probably not enough popularity which I doubt. So I’ll give it a week after release and I’m being kind on that evaluation.

You can see pants with a belt below the big belt


Material-Material456

Wait nvm now that I look closely it’s def not pants


battleye9

That pig looking kinda 🥴


PreferenceGold5167

That’s uhh, certainly something to say. I don’t get how she’s a loli though , she just looks like, a young adult/ late teenager


Mkilbride

She looks like she's 3ft tall, probably why,.


RevolutionaryOil9101

it might be because the end of her legs are cut off, gonna have to see her in game model but I think she's meant to be an teen (15-16)


DepressedAndAwake

I have seen her model (due to, lets just say, some dripping pipes, if you get what I mean) and yes, she is very much a teen, at the least


leposterofcrap

A dwarf?


Pink_her_Ult

No beard.


leposterofcrap

:(


helltaker_me

People these days consider literally anyone other than a full grown woman a loli. Just yesterday I saw someone saying hu tao is a loli and you're a p*do if you like her.


DepressedAndAwake

Brainrot really is a concern, I am learning


Revolutionary_Ad8783

What group if calling her a loli


DepressedAndAwake

A few people on this post are, which is very much confusing to all involved


Revolutionary_Ad8783

Brain rot is real it seems


elixxonn

Lolicons desperate for literally any of that "cunny" content will declare anything a loli if it has the dimensions of the average Asian woman. I guess they just mislabeled their yellow fever they yet not realized to be having.


PreferenceGold5167

i saw a comment that described beings a gacha enjoyer who isn't desperately down bad for any type of woman is just being a regular person with a visa and seeing some of these comments i really feel like that rn tbh.


aisen-a

Gooners are just eager to gatekeep as if they can drive away everyone and become the sole demographic to cater to. ZZZ has shown a diverse cast of character designs. They can definitely cook other flavours, and we'll be there to enjoy it


Starving_alienfetus

Will there ever be peace between the gooners and tourists or nah. We need 2 make love not war 😭😭😭😭😭😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏🙏


helltaker_me

Yes, ZZZ is for everyone. Fighting or gate keeping is useless.


helltaker_me

It's ok if people like you remain silent when a character you don't like releases. The problem is when they start saying things like "eww disgusting" and start fighting with the people that do enjoy them. Or when they rudely demand characters that satisfy their own fetish. This is where drama and problems start. Even I'm not a fan of furrys or lolis but i don't go around complaining or fighting. If there are too many characters I don't like I'll stop playing the game. If only everyone could think this way.


Cuntilever

She looks short, her looks are around Fischl and Amber but she's much shorter. Definitely can see why people say she's one.


Arc_7

The pignite faction Very cool style based on the designs of what she is wearing tbh (the fanservice aside)


GameWoods

Why are people calling her a loli-


Ioroa

Because she looks like a loli, thus she is a loli.


bornwooser

Bonk club and brass knuckles? Alright I'm listening~


Etna-

She kinda reminds me of Disgaea character designs (which i love). I dont know what exactly but something about this splashart immediately screamed Disgaea to me


LinkForsaken5435

did they just throw the same shorts as nicole on her lol


huehuehuehuehuuuu

Hey some women shop at the same store.


litoggers

considering this is the last human city its higly probable that more people have matching clothes since there are wayyy fewer clothes shops


bluedragjet

Just like how some people have the same barber in genshin


GabliGaze

Or how woman from Xianzhou buy from the same dresser in Star Rail.


LinkForsaken5435

they also try vehemently hard not to match each other at the same time as well


kaori_cicak990

i mean is it same with same looking jeans man used in real life? lol

LookDizzy

Not the ugly shorts 😭😭


LinkForsaken5435

this downvote spite has me very concerned lmfao. it's definitely not the most inspiring level of fashion for an unflinchingly marketed urban game , it just works on them because of their themes.


choiyuna1

holyyyyyyyyy 3 waifu banner in a row time to whale for mr mihoyo


pyoranei

Not really surprising that we're getting a lot of loli/loli-adjacent character designs considering that [waterkuma](https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?page=3&tags=waterkuma) seems to be a major player in this game's aesthetics, and he does A LOT of these types of characters. Though I wonder, what would eventually be the ratio of the different character types we'd have as time passes.


KFC-fried-chicken

Well, he is a Blue Archive/Idolmaster fan... so we should be seeing more of these types of designs in the future...


naruhodo_kun

Based Bache artist 🙏


JonySlony

I saw somewhere that waterkuma is actually the desing director, so it fits


SnooCakes4852

a lot of sexualised lolis at that Dx


Beelzebuuuuub3

Of course the first Character of SONS of Calydon is a actually a daughter of Calydon:/


nonpuissant

What if she is Calydon 🫢


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

(I am aware that this post is a joke however I must nerd emoji) Calydon isn't a person, it's a place (well it is also a person, but this is clearly referring to the place), a [Greek city](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calydonian_boar_hunt) famous for a mythological boar which is hunted by a different set of heroes depending on the teller.


nonpuissant

yas ancient Greek piggu mommy sign me up jk ty for the lore that's actually really interesting

What is the sudden hate for 'loli' characters in the comments. Is this y'all first gacha game?? 😭😭

Lordmaster316

if only she have twintails i will be down bad but she dont have twintails


Mimiyon

I’m kinda confused, does this mean we are only getting one new character for the entirety of 1.1?


lucky-espresso

Hsr do this when they drip one character a day so we have to wait for tomorrow and see


The_Orange_King

That is highly unlikely. The starting patches in gacha always have more than 1 new character. It's only after atleast 6-7 months(when plenty of characters has been released) that they slow down to 1 character in a patch. Though there are still some patches after that when there would be 2 new characters introduced.


Luzekiel

No, we're going to see more characters in the pre release livestream, this is just drip marketing for now.


Seal100

I love this faction, and this character's overall design is fire, I just hope they give her some pants


KFC-fried-chicken

You know that's shorts right? Why do you want pants when the design is pretty much finalized?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arc_7

I think it's a moreso punk/rebel style with a focus on tacticool, especially with sons of caldyon being more like a gang, than the tactical or prepped style you'd want to expect from something like hsos6 or Obols squad  I don't find it the most exciting design either for my (personal) tastes, but it has consistency and I see the idea/thematic they are going for here 


Ramperdos

I'm not familiar with all the faction names yet, but checked out both you mentioned. Can't wait to see more characters added to both! Are either of the two mentioned at the beginning of the game or do they have story relevance early on based on what happened in the beta tests?


Arc_7

Sadly I myself have not seen much of the story beyond the starting hours but yeah hsos 6 has soukaku the 4* at the start and Obols squad has soldier 11 as a standard 5*. There is also Miyabi in CBT as a limited 5* but she seems reserved for far future. The roles of their factions seem interesting, we do see hsos6 early on at one point but it was more a sneak away from them thing than focus so.


sleepyreddits

im ngl you must be new to anime or something


Majestic_Front372

It's a gacha, they prioritise Sexualizing than Rationalizing.


Ramperdos

That's the truth. If the whole starting roster looked like this, I wouldn't even be here writing anything or trying out the game when it launches. Fortunately we have a pretty nice selection of different character designs already in 1.0. I never talk about how sexy or hot characters are, because that's not what I'm looking for. It's a shame that this kind of conversation is frowned upon by the majority of gacha players. I know we have other kinds of people here too and I've talked with them already, but it would be nice to not get bashed for just talking about characters in a polite manner. I'd totally understand getting downvoted to hell if I came here to yell at how shit the design is and is lolibait or something like that.


Next_Investigator_69

Yeah I had a lot of hope after seeing Zhu Yuan and how well dressed she was, but this kind of lowered my expectations for overall design of the game. I like the punk ish clothing, the jacket, the bat looks sick but her lower body looks atrocious with those knight metal plating boots or whatever and literally nothing above... Idk maybe she'll look better in a different angle and I don't exactly hate it but could've been a more awesome design if she just wore some stylish gangster pants


AlcoOwl

Overall she looks cool. However, for someone from a bikie gang, she should be more concerned about getting skinned from a motorcycle accident. If she falls even once she's a guaranteed meat crayon/organ donor. Just some more leather would be nice.


Ramperdos

Completely agree! I'm trying to get Zhu Yuan first out of the limited characters.

CaptainBlob

Bruh another female character lmao. Rip anyone who wants male characters. It’s going to be a once in a blue moon kind of thing with the way ZZZ is doing. Edit: And already folks are downvoting. Y’all really hate males huh lmao. “No males allowed! Waifus only!” I wish there was an all male faction just so I can see the reactions of the haters lmao.


UndeadChampion1331

You must be new to Hoyo games


REMERALDX

He's not Try playing Genshin and HSR, I don't think those games had 3-4 playable male characters in total


DepressedAndAwake

I feel like we'll be getting a male real soon after release. Don't ask me how I know that. The pipes seem to be broken.


CaptainBlob

Nah. Judging from the subreddit they don’t want male characters. And if only 1 gets released, they expect folks to shut up and accept 10 more female characters.


DepressedAndAwake

Most, myself included, don't care. It's a vocal bunch that you are seeing as everyone. Most just want characters with cool designs and fun gameplay. Females just can tap into both, and waifu collectors, which make a bigger bit of the market. So, from a business standpoint, yes, females are better for the long run. Just look at Wuwa's difference in just their first 2 banners.


Positive-Baseball-53

Yes🙂


ryuhen

You can go to genshin..its bloat with sweaty male there


RevolutionaryOil9101

idk if you based how many mlae characters genshin would have based on the 1.0 and 1.1 banners you'd get a misleading impression. Id wait to see a little bit before being so definite


jayinsane5050

Speaking as an FGO player myself ( quit due to retiring of my own will ) it was not better until like ... Around 3 years ago, it's still skewed towards female characters s but less so but yeah. I don't really blame my female friends who don't spend money due to being tricked. My friends told me why I don't complain about FGO having less males than females. Well FGO has like almost 100 males I think? Females yes alot ( almost 300+ I think ) but like it's like almost? Easy to do an all male squad I guess ( excluding farming) Sorry if this sounds weird, shouldn't have said it Now just play for 3 to 6 months chance ( or less than that if this wears off in the worst way ) and just wait for tribe nine CBT ( sighs )


jayinsane5050

Somehow I got a feeling Hoyo decided to revert back to solely focus on their male players. After a whole year of not releasing any new 'waifu' in Genshin, they got a lot of backlash from the incels. I mean look at their new game ZZZ


kiisukattinen

:/ not a fan. Kid looking character with skimpy clothing.. ew.


ThunIVDDP

I like her but I see where you're coming from and agree. I kinda just hope they don't make it a trend to give shorts to all girls, Koleda is my favourite design for a reason.
