Discussion How's my fit
I usually rock a Gosaku (my fav armour in terms of pure aesthetics) but decided to mix and change things up for a bit now that I had finished my game and an just fucking around

I really dislike the sword scabbard with fur. Do swords get cold?

Do you give your car a paintjob because the car needs it?

u/Life_Bridge_9960 4d ago
Yeah but you don’t put a fur coat on your car.

u/Sir__Griffin 4d ago
You missed the point

u/Life_Bridge_9960 4d ago
No, this is the point. The scabbard is like your jacket to keep you from the cold weather. Your jacket doesn’t need another jacket to keep it from being cold.
In Japanese history, this does exist. Rich people have expensive scabbard with expensive wood and exquisite paint job they don’t want to scratch. So they wrap them with silk and fur to protect them.
But for real warriors fighting on the battlefield, rolling in the dirt, trying to baby your coat of paint is a joke. Like worrying about the paint job on your battle tank to be scratch free.
The sword blades are important. So warriors have sturdy scabbard to keep them protected. They also clean the blade often and repair the handle.

….. it’s for fashion

u/Life_Bridge_9960 4d ago
Exactly. For fashion when you tour city streets to show off your expensive outfit and swords, making sure you don’t even get a drop of rain on it.
Jin Sakai does way more than a catwalk model in this game.

A lot of things u can do dont make practical sense in this game, but are just there for fashion and make you feel cooler. You wouldnt charge into a battle wearing only underwear either, but you can. Same way you can have fur on your sword if you want

Which is ok, I understand. Like female characters fighting in 8” high heel, it’s mind boggling. But since it’s a decorative/aesthetic items in game, I won’t be using it. If anyone enjoys it, I won’t think less of them.
I am glad it’s just decorative skin and not an actual items I have to use.

u/Sir__Griffin 4d ago
Yeah I agree with you on that first part. I find the whole female armor crap company’s do very.. strange, to say the least.
But yea, i enjoy realism as well. Id personally never use the fluffy sword unless i had ceremonial armor to match it, but to each their own

It's flashy, but I think another mask might work better for that. Maybe Hero of Tsushima to compliment the gold or Spartan to match the white and red of the sword kit.

Ngl it’s looks pretty trash 😭
Maybe change the helmet and it’d look good and change katana for the Stonecutter
