SgtFlex Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Honestly, at first it seemed a bit ridiculous to me and all, but at the same time it seems fine. I feel like the Tenno must have some sort of link to human society since they know that magic and such is linked with the typical magician look of a cane and a tophat. If they didn't have any link to human society... well then it seems rather odd. Overall though, I like the futuristic look to it, as well as the warframe. The design looks unique as well. Well... they all do, but I dunno, he fits the magician look :P Edited October 23, 2014 by SgtFlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtFlex Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hopefully isn't an Alternate helmet. I don't think they've ever featured an alternate helmet in a teaser before (but I could be wrong) I think it's a bit annoying because it makes ppl make stupid threads about it but honestly, I love it No kidding, these tophat threads...

Morec0 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well, a link to human society in the Tenno is kinda obvious - they ARE/were at one point human - and the creators of the Original Prime Warframe were human as well. Moreso, though, I hold the belief that a Warframe's physical design is what focuses the Tenno powers to be what they are exactly. So, for whatever reason, Limbo's tophat allows him to focus his powers into what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I will be very upset if it goes the way of Nekros' syandana and is sold separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamingfighter Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I feel like I'm in the minority here. I like every aspect of what I've seen of his design EXCEPT the top hat. It just looks tacky to me, I love everything else though. My hope is that he'll be released with an alternate helmet like Mirage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casardis Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) I don't see much issues with it. I find the design playful. Vauban has a beard and alternate helmets have a mustache/pacifier/beret. Loki has a submarine head/hammerhead shark. Oberon has antlers. Nekros has a hood. Valkyr's alt has a neck bell. Hydroid has an eyepatch (I like to think it works like the Solid Eye) Frost has a CD player/glowing fan in his head. Nova now has twintails. They always had quirks, but I think the tophat is very "obvious" and is one of the reasons why people get worked up about it. In the end, it comes back to similar designs. I don't feel it's running away from Warframe aesthetics, though I'd love to see a more "simple" design in the future for a new Warframe, similar to the earlier Warframes (Excalibur, etc).

Morec0 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I will be very upset if it goes the way of Nekros' syandana and is sold separately. Ahh, i never considered that... Well given that' it's shown in what appears to be his Codex picture I doubt it'll be a separate thing. Or, at least, I have reason to doubt it will be.

Hixlysss Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 To all the people saying they hope it isn't an alt helmet, they never show a warframe, a new warframe, with an alt helmet. And to those thinking it is a syandana, I highly doubt that. All the syandana's have been dangly...well dangly parts, scarves and ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tali Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 His top hat makes him looks so classy, now he just need a monocle and a walking stick-ish thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentiGlondi Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 If one complains about a ninja in a top hat, they might as well complain about ninjas with guns or ninjas is hugeass armor or ninjas with lobster tails. Tenno being 100% stereotypical ninjas doesn't make much sense either, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBones Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The idea of a classy, sorcerer-like Tenno is great. The top hat moves the concept from sorcerer, to stage magician however. Other than making some kind of tongue-in-cheek aesthetic referance to old, Victorian-era frauds and huxters, the top hat does nothing to bestow a look of power, skill or mystery. (Other than if the dove he pulls out of that hat is infested or not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks tacky to me, I love everything else though. My hope is that he'll be released with an alternate helmet like Mirage. I agree. Forcing the hat is kind of dumb, especially since there are no other hats in the game. Helmets sure. Masks sure. Hats? No. I don't really like it, and I hope that we get an alternative that doesn't use a hat. The rest of him is awesome though. Feels much like an arch mage, but the hat just makes him look like a sad failing Las Vegas magician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the hat more as it makes you underestimate him, then he fucks shizz up with style as you stop laughing at his hat ^_^It also sorta adds a sense of creepy or twisted was to him, a lot of villans and other protagonists have had top hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
