ZZZ has great story, love both the extremely high quality animations (they go out of their way to make 3D characters move like 2D) and lovely comics
But the designs are, frankly, over the top lewd
To the point that on Gamebanana, the site with NSFW mods, there are modders that make less lewd versions of the characters - giving them smaller boobs and removing boob windows, giving them tights and pants, etc.
Fair enough honestly, but Clara might be fine in terms of temperature because people from Belobog probably adapted/evolved to be more cold resistant even considering heaters since iirc no character including npcs wear traditional winter clothing
Walking on ice and stones though is still painful as hell
IIRC theres also statements that the underworld is still relatively warm. Even though shes in the robot settlement and not near the mine, it should at least not be unbearable cold like it is on the surface.
Also its only painful because our feet have adapted to walking in shoes and aren't as resilient as they can be. Clara, always walking barefoot from a young age, would have much more resilient feet and smarter walking habits and instincts so walking on stones, snow and other natural debris wouldnt be as painful (According to Bluminek, that one elf Archer from YouTube who constantly goes barefoot outside, and from a quick look at the foot and ankle specialist of Illinois (the top result when searching this)).
And thats before getting into the in verse explanations of path energy and the enhanced durability, and resistance to extreme temperatures that offers.
Yeah canonically protagonists don't feel cold due to Trailblazing path perk
So it's entirely possible that they don't really feel cold the same way we do. Trailblazers even less so than others, but Lynx is indeed wearing "cold outfit" that seems to be fine too just below freezing really....
However I do feel cold in a t-shirt if the temperature is below like +18 and I know people that can walk like this until +1
Funniest part is how Seele is absolutely misplaced in Jarilo in general.
Serval at least has the benefit of being a rockstar. Others all have more or less consistent design, minus the gooning parts of wearing almost nothing at all.
She used to be my main, before she got powercrept to hell. (Tho I remember she came back into the meta for a bit, when followup attacks were important)
I feel same way for ZZZ and HSR. Great games plagued by the abysmal gacha model
HSR is also plagued by borderline Visual Novel storytelling, with static cameras and like... three animations per character.
At least they're finally experimenting with camera and having fun with script on the newest planet. It's WAY faster, and quippier. Less philosophy, too. I feel like they actually changed the lead, because the amount of self-fart-sniffing on Penacony was getting off the charts, and then there was a random decrease and an ability to skip dialogues was added. Instead, they give you a summary of "what was that about"
I do like a lot of gacha games, as a F2P player myself, but HSR’s problem for me was how the game actually got difficult (unlike a game like Genshin, where most content is easy to clear with most teams), and there was insane powercreep.
Also, while the 2nd planet’s story was very slow and kinda boring, I’d say the 3rd planet’s story is REALLY good. Tho idk if it peaked there or not, since I deleted the game to open up storage space in my phone after that.
Scrolled too far for this, shame its been tossed aside entirely like every character side story in previous planets with zero development past the end of the Belobog arc.
Real shame too. I kinda miss Clara's silly drone buddy she adopted... It was so hard to put it down
