btw, does anyone else miss the previous designs? It was something that was barely mentioned by a couple of people lol
They were kinda crude sketches, sure. But it set them apart from the rest of the voices imo
i had
lots of thoughts about these designs but just didnt say anything bc i didnt want to deal with the potential back and forth of someone just not agreeing with my thought xD its subjective, its fine if you like them. but i dont really expect to change my stance on how i dont like them personally either. i like the old art,
but im someone who just likes the things that arent typical to these anime-aligned voices? the sketches were loose and not super detail but they were very interesting among all the other designs going on.
would have liked to have seem them at least retain some of those design qualities- they were simple and... these new ones- especially the outfits are... a lot lol. if im being real its the outfits that are the biggest turn off to me- i dont think its bad to modernize them or pull them to the typical anime style bc of their whole deal of being a sorta idol trio. but this just isnt a result i like haha
and i guess ill just expand on the rest of my Opinion™ here too for the banks, i just dont think they sound good either (yuu and will). tbh the moment i heard they were reusing their v3 samples i just did not see the good in doing that at all, i was put off and just could not ever think about buying them- tbh if i wanted them i would just go and get their v3s. its just so odd to me. really, theyre pushing towards AI- the voices people nowadays consider the
better and higher quality ones (it doesnt matter if you
think the standards are good too-- im talking about the general music industry opinions)- and yet they dont really... go out of the way to ensure higher quality, esp when kyo gets new recordings...? whatever reasons there could be that they didnt get new recordings for the others, it just doesnt give me a good feel that they still went through with this and we got these results out of it... as Susaku said above i want to hope maybe they will get some kinda update with new data but i wouldnt assume so at this point.
