Elite Knight is the most aesthetic armor set in gaming. Fluted is really great, though.

Elite Knight probably looks almost identical to fluted underneath the material. It'd need to be slimeer than the regular knight set since it's the same thickness after multiple layers of clothing.

This.

Fluted is perfect. Maiden in black is best girl.

Fluted has more soul.

Look at this comfy son-of-a-gun.
The balance of metal with cloth. The colors. The strangely stern and ticked-off expression of the closed Elite Knight helmet that exemplifies the spirit of an adventurer who is just sick of this shit.
There is nothing more aesthetic than the Elite Knight. He is the quintissential vidya design.

Fluted is great for the more medieval style of Demon's Souls but the Elite Knight set exemplifies that perfect balance of realism and fantasy that the first Dark Souls nails so well

Stop using aesthetic as an adjective zoomer

I think the knight set for dark souls 3 really says everything about the game. Bland, unimaginative, a rehash of things gone by, low effort recycling of old ideas (fluted knight set). I will say it does look nice though at least.

Mail is surprisngly effective. Vidja will make you think it's mediocre, but that shit puts in work IRL.

>Is there any plate under the tunic or is it just mail?
If you compare it to the normal knight armor the latter is far bulkier around the chest so the elite knight doesn't have a chestplate.

It's supposed to be the regular knight set with a tabard

I'd assume mobility, especially considering the fact that the Chosen Undead has more rolls going around than a Thanksgiving dinner

Fluted looks amazing in-game, but that's about it.

Elite Knight's chest is chainmail with a brigandine on top of it.

Mail is weak to piercing AND blunt. Plate is immune to slashing, almost immune to piercing and resistant to blunt. People in plate armor didn't need to carry shields. They carried a longsword. People in mail needed to use a shield and a one handed weapon. As you can see, the guy in plat armor has a more powerful attack for the same level of defence.

Elite Knight looks more like an adventurer with all the other shit he's carrying, while Fluted is definitely just a knight who just makes his lackey and horse carry his shit cause he's far too noble to lug things around like a peasant.

Humans do have a sense of style and this was reflected even in the medieval periods with armor designs; typically they were ugly as sin if intended to be pure armor, but if the intent was to make a statement as to the owner's wealth, power, family name or simply the armor's protective ability, it tended to have embellishments

Additionally humans just like good craftsmanship, especially if it's for an object with a very clear purpose like protective armor or a weapon. /fa/ armor implies an extremely high level of craftsmanship, especially if proven to be both functional and decorative, and serves to make the wearer stand out from the crowd. Same thing as flashy clothes, really

Modern hominids haven't changed for quite some time, most or all of those armors were ceremonial. Being forged at a smaller scale was a testament to the smith's skill, they were made to be displayed and still are.

>will never be a hole maan

The Fluted Knight set. It gets immediately to the point but with just enough little curves, accents, and flourishes that quickly add up to look unique and strike a silhouette. The various shades also work cohesively while clearly standing out at the same time, and the material for the leggings particularly helps the suit's visual pop.

The Elite Knight set certainly looks nice, but the details get kind of muddled in the center of the design, and I've always thought the helmet didn't have the best composition to it. It also leaves one to wonder just how much armor is actually under the clothing and if wearing so much over heavy plate or chain mail is sensible.

To be honest, comparing art to a 3D model doesn't make for a fair assessment of the two designs.

Because it makes you look like you have down syndrome and taking a hit to the head would be a favor
It's like armor that was specifically made for "that guy"

Man, some areas in Dark Souls 2 really just fuck the lighting/shading.

Elite Knight is more visually appealing but shame DaS doesn't have cloth physics.

Its a tragedy that knight Syan was a brainlet jobber tho.

Brushwood was the shit. My very first playthrough of Demon's Souls was full Brushwood with DBS and the big tower shield because I was a shitter, but man did I feel like a tank.

Even as a male hunter the doll's top still looks pretty fucking good

Bonfire is best grill, get fucked Demonsfags

Fun fact: Leftover text in the game indicates the character that eventually became Vilhelm was originally going to be a woman that dual wielded a straight sword and a flamberge.

>um, did you just assume my choice of protective wear?!

Miyazaki said in an interview that the design for Lautrec's armor preceded Lautrec as a character. A big part of creating Lautrec was coming up for why his armor had that embrace built into it.

>no sallet in ds3
Literally a crime.

Sekiro had some fantastic designs.

It's a great blend of fantasy and realism and usually describes why an armor looks the way it does with a stated purpose or function in its item-description

The Penetrator's armor is pretty cool. Why does No one ever talk about it? Oh I know, because WE NEVER FUCKING GOT IT AS AN ARMOR SET. FUCK YOU MYAZAKI WE DIDN'T EVEN GET THE COOL SWING EFFECTS FOR THE SWORD

Always loved the Alonne-related sets, they're a perfect blend of knight and samurai aesthetics while still being firmly in the "knight" category, leading up to Sir Alonne himself straight-up having samurai armor.

The sword is really underwhelming too, despite how /fa/ it looks. Theres literally no reason not to use anything besides the standard longsword or the moonlight greatsword for the entire game.

the og clownsuit

Seems like it's a decent enough fantasy world, aside from warlike kingdoms like Carthus popping up.

I love this set so much. It's got a great balance of being a skeleton while still being armor.

it looks like a regular gambeson tho

>Theres literally no reason not to use anything besides the standard longsword or the moonlight greatsword for the entire game.
But using the Dragon Bone Smasher or the Great Sword is so fun. You can bat people across the room over and over.

Because it's classy and kinda reserved.

what does this reference

I actually liked what they did with Longsword weapon arts, I honestly think that every single weapon shouldve had a "stance" mode with different effects, the stance for Longsword was breaking guard and giving hyper armour, because it had these things it made other weapons that didnt have them feel worse. It also just looked cool to hold your weapon differently on command.

Id like to see a game based around different stances for every weapon.

For a laugh sure but speaking strictly in terms of effectiveness a fast weapon will always be better in a world with no poise where every hit regardless of the weapon stuns on contact. MGS has the added benefit of going through guards and its easy to get a hold of.

At the time they probably designed the armors solely for the boss' scale and proportions. Making a player version that wouldn't be off-balance or clip through itself might have been tricky. As for the sword, I swear the one he uses has dramatically different proportions, even relative to scale. It's a shame that the riposte and backstab didn't have the same modifier as the 1hR2; it's too limiting to make only a single attack from both move sets have the modifier.

yeah that made me sad. Also I think it's funny that his sword gives a damage bonus on the stab attack.

Why not both?

Funny? That was its gimmick. It needed to apply that gimmick to all of its stab attacks. Maybe if the blade was longer it'd be good for zoning and crowd control, but ultimately it doesn't seem to be long enough to provide significant advantages in that regard -- or at least not any to make me want to use the blade for long.

Rekindled NEVER EVER.

Oh, from this.

heide knights were so cool looking
felt bad anytime i killed one
but i wanted the set so

Nixing the obligatory iai-specific katana in favor of just giving all katanas an iai stance for a weapon-art gave me fucking wood, especially Frayed Blade getting some Vergil shit on top of it.

The skeleton weapons are skeletons also holding skeleton weapons.

the only surviving armors are for children.

fluted could use more symmetry and some image filters to give it a similar effect that the elite knight set has, butt I'd otherwise looks elegantly practical

Why was his armour like that?

>Heide
I never god that meme. It's just a fugly entirely white armor.

truly /ourguy/

And kings that had tons of armour made for them as tribute. People were shorter back then, not taller.

>Have to use unique weapons to get different arts
>Can't just customize the weapon arts for basic weapons at the blacksmith
The system could've been way better

It represents his goddess keeping him in her loving embrace no matter where he goes.

Keep your weeb nintensoy hands off of this franchise
Dark Souls is too pure to be in your shitty made for children and manchildren

>Remove uniqueness
>This is way better
You are the reason for the word "streamlined". Now everyone runs around with the best sword and the best weapon art.

I just want to say how much I love these minimalistic and realistic armor designs and how I wish they were used more in games. I swear to god if I see another fucking shiny light/fire/elemental set of armor with overdone particle effects and ridiculous lightning I will fucking snap. I don't think I hate anything in gaming more than I hate shinymagicshoulderpadsforretards.

That's the best part of it

My favorite set. I used that throughout most of my first playthrough of DS1.

That's not what I said, but I guess I'll argue with it anyway
If there is a single dominant build standing over the rest of the game, then you've made a bad game, period

His armor looks good on him, but has fucked up proportions unless worn by a player character with extremely specific sliders
Much like the fucking artorias set

Yeah exactly, that's what you said you wanted
Being able to customize your weapon's art would just have everyone put the same OP art on every weapon in the game

Fluted is more fitting for the oppressive setting of Demon's Souls. You're supposed to look and feel like a fool who is in over his head. That the whole world is stronger than you.

Never said every weapon, or art
In fact I'm pretty sure I specified basics
And the fact remains that you're arguing against character customization

Part 2 soon, r-right?

aesthetic isn't a noun with positive connection, only the adjective has that. The noun has no connotation, it is a synonym for a style, which could be stylish or unstylish depending on context. for instance:
>this armor has a poor aesthetic
If you want to use it positively, you have to use it as an adjective.
>which set is more aesthetically pleasing?
or
>which armor has more aesthetic beauty?
I hate this meme fight me

A professional 3D modeler that joined up with a mod making community and is making a bunch of armor and weapon models for a massive Dark Souls mod project. The project is mostly stalled on the fact that generating custom navmeshes isn't doable at the moment, so they could sort of make new maps, but NPCs wouldn't understand how to navigate them.

Words pick up connotations, user.
