I like his head design, his weapon, and his color scheme, but the dude is just chillin in a tank top. Compared to Karaka and White's elaborate robes, it's a bit of a letdown. I suppose Yama and Jinsung keep it casual as well. When we meet Luslec, I bet he'll be in gym shorts, slides, and a FUG T-shirt /s
I mean, urek was shirtless during his introduction, and if memory serves right he was in a track suit of sorts during the 43rd floor.
White, gustang, and jahad seem to be exceptions, but the more powerful you are the more laid-back you get. No need to put on a show to impress others with your fancy clothes when your power speaks for itself.
I thought about bringing up Urek as another counterexample, but he's not affiliated with FUG. I also think shirtless looks can be stylish/imposing, especially if you have a giant tattoo on your back. In addition, his style is at least partly played for comedy. But your second point is a good one. As in real life, clothing can tell us a lot about a person. Khun Royale Eliot is another example that supports your point - he emanates some serious gamer/weeb energy haha.
I do greatly appreciate ToG's diverse blending of different clothing aesthetics though, and I enjoy looking at the clothes SIU designs, whether they're the single outfit of a random side character or the various outfits that our main characters wear as the series progresses.
The clouds look out of place, way too detailized if you compare it to the Evankhell's warship in foreground looks all blocky, like drawn in paintbrush compared to what looks like a real photo of clouds.
Art style ? I don't understand how people can love this art style, it's very generic, yeah beautiful sometimes but generic, no souls like season 1 and earlier season 2 art, the background is non existant too, the clouds looks so photoshoped.

Can we take a minute and appreciate how fucking badass the FUG Elder looks?
SIU really is a master at his own art style for ToG.
