why do japs rip off western armor

everyone rips everyone else off because different is exciting

Japs do Western armor better than westerners

Aion was fucking great at that
shame game went to shit
Ian Walker

A lot of sets from Dark Souls are modeled after real life armor. Turns out realistic albeit very ornate armor is more aesthetically appealing than edgy crap full of retarded nonsensical horns like Pic related, the IRL Drake Blood set belonged to Henry VIII.
Jaxon Powell
Blake Flores
Lawbro's armor is aesthetic af. Too bad he is one of the worst characters
Matthew Phillips
Ryan Evans
they reworked him last week, hes pretty solid now
Aaron Diaz
For Honor is some god tier armour design in general. They have such a good blend of realism and modern fantasy flair.
Thomas Foster
I main'd him just cause he looked cool. Enjoyed my 100+ hours with him and the game but stopped playing, perhaps I should get back into it again?

A fucking shame this one didnt return, Its fucking great

Ah yes. I remember when Havels armor was the meta in Dark Age Europe
Joshua Kelly
My favorite set
Jeremiah Rivera
>make a game with knights in it
>put in knight armor
>this is a rip off because you happen to not be born in the countries that armor comes from
I guess every American game with knights in it is ripping off European armor
Jeremiah Hall
I can't believe how they made such a cool armor set so ugly in game, and a cool looking weapon so subpar.
I wish the alternate greatsword moveset showed up more in DS3.
Angel Flores
You mean like they rip off literally everything ever? Because they're creatively bankrupt bugmen.
Dylan Wilson
I wouldn't say a lot, but most of the fan favorites are based on historical armors. Also, i dont see how this is the drake blood set. I will post some examples that i know that inspired some armors from DeS/Das/BB.
Blake Lee
Just the typical 16th century armor already covers a lot of the series armors sets.

>frog helmet that doesnt look silly like the Ruin set
>good stats
>the pieces go with other armors
Fight me
Colton Morales
It's not the exact same armor, but I think it's close enough that it served as the inspiration, it wouldn't be the first piece of armor owned by Henry VIII that made it into the game.
Also I'd like to point that most armor sets in the series look early modern period, yet people keep calling them medieval for some reason.
Jaxson Diaz

16th-17th century style cuisses. Also notice the decoration pattern
Carson Brown
Fuck I miss Aion. I used to play the game forever ago and then picked up a private server for a while but it all died.
Alexander Baker
this looks a LOT like the armor of the band of the hawk from berserk
Nathaniel Myers
>nobody has posted reach yet
For shame
Zachary Bailey
True. But who uses full sets anyway. I like using those leggings with the dancer's armour. They fit pretty well together and it gives you way more absorption.
Ryder Williams
For Elder Scrolls this is probably one of the best in the series in my opinion, it's a shame what they did to Orcish armor in Skyrim though, like all of a sudden their famed craftmanship just shit the bed and they were retconned into being primitive orcs like in most other videogame series.
Charles Gomez
don't talk to me or my son ever again
David Sanchez
It's not "western" armor, it's european you stinky mutt.
If americans make games about european knights, it's just as much of a "rip-off".
Grayson Anderson
cainhurst helmet made by the legendary italian armorsmith Filippo Negroli.
Michael Price
I know, and I love how it looks with the Stechhelm given the huge gap in time of both armor pieces
Lapp's Stechhelm is kinda odd because its angle upwards instead of downward like regular jousting helmets
FUCKING THIS I loved the samurai look in Morrowind and the mongolian/chinese look in Oblivion then Skyrim shit the bed with stupid ass fantasy crap

For shame.

He drew a good amount of his armors based on real life examples. I am fairly sure that he has put a literal copy of pic on one of the characters, but i cant find the page that this happens.

FACT: Blood magic, blood magic, bsa-modifying, bsa-modifying, bsa-modifying, bsa-modifying. No other words. Dark souls is gay retarded. FACT: Any mods which add/modify soul gems or armor. No other words. This is just retarded. FACT: More of a "don't be a dick" attitude, but you can still take the advice of others here to enhance the game. NO ONE TELLS US THIS, they just did it anyway, don't think it's their fault, just because they chose the same kind of build/build orders and playstyle as us, that means they are to blame. Dark souls, I'm sick of you assholes. It's not just one of the biggest issues with this game and it's most common complaints because it doesn't work for others. This is the worst thing that could happen to this game to the point where I'm giving this mod a pass.
Zachary Myers
irl soldier here
You don't want heavy suits of armor for 2 reasons
1. it won't protect you from pretty much any projectiles from intermediate rifle rounds and above
2. doing long patrols and marches and generally just doing anything would suck in a heavy set of armor
all in all you would be exhausted in combat, and every bullet would just zip through your armor like it was nothing
Brody Russell
Anti-Hindu squad
Logan Jones
They'd be capable of making armor that could actually protect soldiers from bullets it just wouldn't be worth the money compared to just training a new soldier.
Levi Thompson
Because they know their armors suck dick and are only good for their fancy looks
Easton Smith
Explosives will still fuck you up due to the penetrating qualities of shockwaves simply mulching you inside the tin can you're wearing
Robert Young

Owen Walker
Unless somehow we pull Astartes armor tier that doesnt cost millons, heavy armor in combat will never see the light of day once again. All of this anons are right
Hunter Watson
This one took me a while to find. Executioner Helm is very similar to a type of gladiator helmet.

>Big clunky armor to poorly protect against bullets and explosives
John Gray
P.S. it would only be feasible if you had an exoskeleton helping you deal with the weight, but even then for most combat scenarios it would just be a waste of money when you could probably equip and train a whole platoon of regular infantry for the price of one armored fuck who probably will die to a grenade anyway
Isaiah Davis
This armor is good at protecting legs.
Caleb Carter
My man Alva. His wife's set is also the best for female spell casters
Lucas Gonzalez
vidya armor with A E S T H E T I C like pic related?
Anthony Mitchell
Some of these posts got me thinking, do you think you could make an aesthetic design based off of modern military gear but with traditional fantasy materials such as dragon scale instead of Kevlar, monster hide, all that jazz.
Or would it just come out as an ugly ass abomination
Logan Robinson
favorite set after turtle armor

Thomas Wood
You’re literally better off wearing plain clothes and using cover than covering yourself in metal armour, history has proven this.
That sort of protection is great against sharps and decent for blunt impact, but the sort of penetrative force that rifle rounds provide just cut through sheets of metal like paper.
You’re better off being mobile with kevlar and maybe ceramic plates on your chest than to be covered head to toe.
Once power armour takes off and becomes and thing war will become fun again.
Blake Allen

Generic Knight armor is aesthetic as fuck. That being said people who think that precludes silly awesome fantasy shit from being aesthetic are spergs.
Connor Cook
But he die after going full Armourfag, but never died when he was based Nudefag.
Nudefag > Armourfag
Aaron Harris
On the boss yes, but on the player fuck no
Joshua Rivera
It's because Western Armor was superior to the stuff the samurai wore.
Angel Thomas
He died only because he went against Firefag who has plot armor, and still gave him hard time.
Firefag>Armourfag>>>Nudefag
Although technically Firefag is also nudefag
Wyatt Powell
Camouflage would make everything ugly, but for a fusion between medieval and military, just look at history.
John Carter
Age of Deep Souls when?
Jaxon Foster
Normal soldiers already get that shit. At least with armour they can survive.
Depending on their mobility they could even evade missiles, which would make them more tactically valuable than fighter jets.
Aiden Barnes
it looks like that cape and skirt would get snagged on the joints of the armor and other places constantly
Matthew Harris
If it works, it works.
Angel Anderson
>at least with armor they can survive
Lmao
You have to remember that destructive technology keeps moving along with defensive which means by the time you've got power armor it's already outclassed by everything. At most you'll see powerloaders.
Jaxon Garcia
That helmet must be an utter pain in the ass to use
Aiden Richardson
Exanima has some kino designs.
Matthew Martinez
power armor does make a bit of sense in urban situations when you need boots on the ground to man checkpoints, perform negotiations and clear houses full of civilians and so on. these are situations when you actually need a human being to be there to survey the situation, talk to people and so on. but other than that, it's looking more and more like the future of combat will be done with drones and missiles from the comfort of control rooms.
Xavier Campbell
what vidya armors with this look?
Juan Peterson
Snibbedy snab
John Perez
You don't need power armor for that and depending on the cost it would be impractical to stuff men into metal coffins rather than just bit stronger vest.
Luis Edwards
There is a limit to the destructive capability that rounds and conventional explosives can provide. Shrapnel for instance doesn’t do fuck all to armoured vehicles and even less to tanks, which is why anti-tank missiles now have to have tungsten needles inside them which burn a hole and delay-explode inside a tank.
If you have a man-sized tank on legs with superhuman strength and ability then even being able to land direct hits with bullets or explosives is difficult.
Aaron Mitchell
>tfw you’ll never live long enough to see IRL Master Chief shit on towelhead insurrectionists
Leo Fisher
You don't have to get through armor to kill. Have fun living when the blastwave breaks all your ribs while you're inside the armor. Free coffin provided.
Oliver Parker
Mount and blade warband
Connor King
you're right. well done, however:
>the US military loves to spend money on stupid shit
>power armor would provide some unique benefits like a resistance to explosives that normal body armor can't do, become more or less impervious to small arms fire, allow for wielding special weaponry
>plus it'd be intimidating for the enemy and US soldiers get to look like space marines
add together all of the above and you know someone in the US military would want to make it into reality. I'd say their money would arguably be better spent on stupid shit like power armor than the f35, which apparently is horrible and will probably be made obsolete by guided missile strikes by the time it actually finishes development.
Carter Williams
Nathaniel Gray
Resistance to shrapnel yes, but depending the force of the explosion and it's proximinity whoever is inside the thing would higly likely have his insides turned to mush. But your other points are all valid so I will concur, the US army would likely spend money on a dumb project like that and equip their soldiers with them.

It's a fucking game with a European medieval aesthetic what the fuck.

The helmet is inspired by a parade helmet from 1543 Milan

That helmet is missing it's cheek plates (you can see the hinges). Look at this helmet with a similar design that still has its cheek plates and you can see how it should sit on one's head.

Why doesn't he use chainmail?
John Torres
He does use chainmail.
He also only uses heap dingy gear so that when he inevitably dies he doesn't end up giving good armour to gobbos
Brayden Jenkins
Nathaniel Thomas
cheap*
Brody Hall
Where's the chainmail? IIRC he gives his healer chainmail, but he doesn't seem to be wearing any, not even in that scene where he gives the blacksmith his armor for repairs.
Luis Powell
Been a while since I visually saw him in action cause I read the novels but I believe it's under all the layers and immaculately fitted to his form because anime bullshit.
But I definitely remember him surviving a stab from a gobbo because he has chainmail on.
Might skim through some of the manga chapters to see if they have it
Eli Rodriguez
>Dark Age
You do realise that only lasted from the 5th to 10th century, they certainly did not have plate in the Dark Ages.
In fact, most Dark Age soliders looked like Roman soliders
Cameron Kelly

Grayson Bennett
Also really like the scarlet knight's look
Christian Gutierrez
Found the exact moment I was thinking of. Here you go user
Joseph Campbell
It's probably the case of muh anime bullshit, but that'd be especially annoying in this case because the bit where Goblin Slayer explains the purpose of his armor is very good. They could've very easily kept his design intact just by flipping the colors around (make the outer armor black, but the chainmail below metallic)
Mason Lewis
It has an armour rating so I figured it counts.
Zachary Nelson
>that sperg last thread
Still makes me smile
Bentley Watson
do you even Deus Vult?
Chase James
he actually does get stabbed without chainmail with a poisoned dagger, which causes him to see the need for chainmail and buys it at the shop

>Pure practical and based in real life armor
It's jousting armor and it clips pretty awkwardly iirc. It's focused on deflecting lances on horseback to the point of heavily compromising on vision and restricting mobility with the helmet typically being bolted to the chestplate and requiring the user to bend at odd angles to even see anything.
Frog Helms may look aesthetic but that's all they are.
Lincoln Johnson
