vaugahn Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Something people forget when talking about Warframe and Eastern cultural influences is that the original frame is a knight. We have loads of different cultures representing here in Warframe. Any historical warrior archetypes are fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)xX-ArcticFox-Xx Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Maybe some Templar inspired capes like some Tenno who're dedicated to plundering wrecked derelict ruins. This also opens the story up to some more on the side groups involving the Tenno. They could be a group of rouge Tenno who would rather plunder old derelicts and valued resource caches than hang around with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaugahn Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 excalibur is not a knight, hes name alludes to such things. but his look is nothing like a medievil knight. hes a cyrborg ninja. All of his abilities are based off powers attributed to Excalibur in legend. His art design has nothing to indicate that he's a ninja. It's not just him. The not-ninja frames outnumber the ninja frames by a good margin, and the majority of our weapons are of Western origin. We are lots of different things. Ninjas are just one archetype among many that we draw from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OniDax Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) eastern like Asia and Japan. The game needs to return to that vibe, I think. Maybe different nikana sheaths, Or maybe different types of syndanas that you wear on your waist, like a sash. Because Excalibur, Loki, Volt, Nyx, Mag, Frost, Rhino, Ash, Ember, etc, were Eastern style? Right...The game never had an Eastern vibe. The Tenno aren't even ninjas. They're much more like samurai, and even then, not really. What we need, though, is warrior-themed frames with more warrior-themed cosmetics, East and West. No more magicians, pirates, gunslingers, schoolgirls, etc. Edited February 8, 2015 by AntoineFlemming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
