Orochi armor | Forums

Please, give us back Oni look of Orochi, with chainmail armor, i have 12 rep on Orochi and its so boring to see exactly the same Orochi every game. The Oni that we can see on this trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DcdBzhvEts WAS PERFECT. Also for me, new gear bringed with season 3 is so disappointing, its like "Yeah, add few spikes on armor, it will be cool". And i have one question, what happend with Seijuro golden helmet? Its pretty awesome, im waiting for this helmet and ornament since i finished For Honor campaign.
UBI PLEASE

We're working to enhance armor visuals and provide better armor aesthetics for the future, so we can try our best to emulate those armors you see in cutscenes and trailers.
But please keep in mind though that what you see in the trailer is just a trailer and not actual gameplay. In game, we have to work under many various restrictions regarding armor to make sure everything adheres to the in game logic, physics and rules - so it's not always possible to recreate cinematic armor. But we'll try!

you keep telling us this since the end of season 1, new original concepts will be made.

no original concepts to be found, still the same reskins with more spikes skullls etc.

hi ubi i would like to add that you already desinged the orochi gear from the cinemati. becuase we see it in the early development gameplay here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atGTx6KSD_M at 5.06 minutes in we see you play as the orochi from the cinematic so that shouldn't be too hard to get back ingame. so please give us back that look/ armor style so many people was waiting for that, and further more it's annoying to see pictures of the orochi ingame that still have the look from that video, it keep remindeing us of what we do not have and cannot have. so it's not to be rude i would just like to point it out becuase i keep thinking WHY

best regards

Ubi please answer

Is orochi getting an update.?

Yeah, For Honor definitely took a little wack from the downgrade hammer.
That said, the floating armour on the Orochi's back did look a little bit odd.

I do like the brighter colours in the release build though.

I personally think the Oni armor is garbage. Samurai never wore chainmail with their armor. But then again...all of the samurai wear wooden armor in this game. So, it wouldn't be too far fetched. Clearly the Knights have the better cosmetics in terms of both their variations of weapons and armor, as well as the armor shades. Warden gets fancy gold armor and weapons since Season 1, but my Kensei didn't get fancy weapons (and only weapons) until Season 3 or 4. (I don't consider Murasame fancy in comparison to Nanae or Miharu). But the wooden armor is the major flaw of the Samurai look. The best shade to have is black, because Light makes the armor look like garbage with pretty much either team color sets.

The original poster's personal preference aside I think it would be good to have more variety in the types of armour you can get in the higher tiers. As far as I can see it's either skulls and spikes or gold and gaudy. Usually both, haha.

I would like to see some more stylised armour. Like, instead of a normal shield the conqueror has part of a broken door and their armour is made of tightly bound hay instead of metal. With the idea that they were convicts and didn't have access to decent armour but were still badass enough that they could make do with whatever they found laying around and could go up against a gold decorated warden.
What we want is armour that shows character, not just armour that looks good. Sometimes the best looking armour looks like junk, but it's made the best because it says something about the character or something about the player. That's what customisation is all about: options. Not the design dev's idea of what looks good. (though I admit their stuff does look good!).
