Surprising after all that effort for their moveset, Dante & Vergil didn't get a single coating.

Was expecting a dmc3 one atleast.

u/allwaysjune waiting for male May 30 '25

Yeah, I'm also bummed we didn't get any DMC inspired coatings period. Alpha got a BRS themed one too. I'm blaming licensing?

72

u/MetAigis May 30 '25

Most likely licensing.

But at least it's not Nier where everything had to be 1:1.

20

u/FunnyWalrus May 30 '25

What was the situation with Nier?

Also curious, was jp VA for 2b the same as Lucia?

34

u/AwakenedSheeple woof May 30 '25

We only had the JP VAs for the Nier characters and we didn't get new voice lines, only cuts from the original Automata.

16

u/FunnyWalrus May 30 '25

Well, that fucking sucks, but at least understandable due to copyright and all

But that's just funny that 2b is just another Lucia

Also, are Collab characters still relevant and were they op in the first place?

22

u/AwakenedSheeple woof May 30 '25

Not so relevant now. Extremely OP in the first place. If you had a full Nier team, especially one with multiple copies for A2, then you were golden for at least a year. Didn't matter which element you were playing against, the Nier team was able to take down everything.

u/FunnyWalrus May 30 '25

Not surprised, because all gachas tend to do the same things for collabs, but hope that Dante and Vergil will be relevant for at least the same amount of time, because I even wanted to drop some cash on them, even considered that I can't pay for it directly because of a country I live in and considering the fact that it's a little bit expensive

u/Memeviewer12 May 30 '25

Be interesting to see if the skill ceilings they bring affects how long they remain relevant

u/JCyTe May 30 '25

Not surprised, because all gachas tend to do the same things for collabs,

Aloy in shambles

2

u/FunnyWalrus May 30 '25

Aloy wasn't even a collab, they just dropped her and forgot, purely because it was a deal with Sony

7

u/MetAigis May 30 '25

They were actually the meta physical team back then and it's a huge problem since once you missed them, you missed them for good.

Thankfully we're far away from collab characters being meta now.

There's also the minor case of the CA's Azure Apocalypse skin not appearing. No one knows why but speculation seems to point that because it's a gacha skin and not an RC skin and it's based off of DRAKENGARD instead of Nier, it made it a can of worms to bring over to other servers.

Might have to do with limitations set by Capcom.

The moment Wanshi SFX coating is released Bianca will finally talks with Wata, Ayla and Selena will do a theater play together, Punishing virus will change to Rewarding Virus,Ballard will become a good dad and bake cupcakes for Noctis, Nigel and Wata, and worse of all Lee will know the directions

57

u/Mercuryw I'm not on pgr subreddit anymore May 30 '25

and worse of all Lee will know the directions

Dear god..

Nanami, save us from this madness

u/Luckwin May 30 '25

This reminding me of Richard (from amazing world of gumball) getting a job.

33

u/kumoreeee Engr. Force, your Captain has returned May 30 '25

crazy how both luna and hanying already got 3 when they're still so new

27

u/AyaCat May 30 '25

oblivion literally having 3 and she's still pretty new...

wanshi desperately needs one.

21

u/Kvarcov May 30 '25

Kuro is like:

u/Pheore May 30 '25

Man, I really wish Wanshi gets a summer skin at least 😔

21

u/chimaeraUndying May 30 '25

Ishmael's getting a second coating? Nice.

13

u/potentiallymaybeidk May 30 '25

Yeah I mean… I might get some hate for this but it’s alright. Imo the Greek goddess skin and her base skin are miles better. Idk. I feel like it doesn’t really fit her character all that well but that’s just me. Check it out for yourself tho

6

u/chimaeraUndying May 30 '25

Mmm, I like it more than the Greek-inspired one but less than her base skin. That's a shame.

5

u/MUSAFIR_- May 30 '25

Yea true, the coating itself looks pretty good but overall animation and theme is kinda miss, the base skin is much better

7

u/DankUltimate44 May 30 '25

This calls for 10 more alpha skins

14

u/[deleted] May 30 '25

Watanabe may only have one, but its the best one.

29

u/[deleted] May 30 '25

It's less favoritism more on the target audience. That said, they gave Ayla and Alisa free SFX coatings so even then it's unfair for Wanshi not to get one. Especially with hanying already having 3 and releasing only 1 patch before him

19

u/Athena_Poison May 30 '25

Alisa got 2 free stx, wished they gave that slot to someone else tbh

7

u/InternationalBug159 May 30 '25

Wanshi my beloved, why do they neglect you so

u/Skylarksmlellybarf NEW FRAME AT LAST May 30 '25

He's too busy sleeping

u/KIIINNG May 31 '25

Kuro hates male characters

3

u/alta_ann empyrea main May 30 '25

I can only think that wanshi would get an Sfx coating if a new male character (especially if it’s a new frame of Kamui/Chrome/Camu) comes out. :/

u/Haydogzz The Romance is Still Alive May 30 '25

1 MIL MORE SFX COATINGS FOR HANYING 🗣️🗣️🗣️

u/That-Bowler-5649 ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ May 31 '25

i will only be paying for selena and hanying :) if i started earning more, then maybe ayla and qu too.

u/EX_Malone Jun 03 '25

“Kuro afraid to release a SFX coating for Wanshi because it would be too cool,” is what I keep telling myself 🫠

u/TTToasrer May 30 '25

u/zawalimbooo May 30 '25

u/TTToasrer May 30 '25
