(PSN)bddacres Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 In a earlier DEvstream the Devs desribed the tenno as hightech knights. This idea of the tenno really stuck with me and I enjoyed this idea more than the fact that we are ninjas. Personally I enjoy the more european fantasy design on items(rhino deluxe skin bundle,oberon deluxe skin bundle). Not saying I'm a estiny fanboy( as i play both games but, enjoy warframe a tadbit more) but, something i enjoy is the cool fur and mail armor. I'm not someone who would request a complete makeover of the warframe concept as i enjoy themes such as : Spoiler However, I would like to know what the community's viewpoint on which design theme of warframe works best.

Misgenesis Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Again, the whole ninja thing is not literal. Designs could go in any direction while Tenno/Frames would still retain their 'ninja' like principles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I enjoy whatever looks cool. It all generally fits the same design. Trying to limit it to fit with some arbitrary tag line would never work anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but what i am referring to mostly is the lack of fantasy themed weapons. i.e broadblade, long bows, giant shield( i play too much DS lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasten Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 My friend you need to antiquate yourself with some first class wuxia, Chinese martial fiction. Warframe is high tech wuxia, including the flying. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo3602 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 IMO Warframe draws from a variety of sources and choosing to stick to one particular theme would be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arxfiend Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I see more ninja in the movement and stealth, soldier in the weapons, and Europe in the warframe design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARLOCKE Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think there are more western elements than eastern ingame. I mean the poster boy is a knight. The only frames that scream Asian are the China Frames and Ash. If anything we need more non western elements (not just ninja,.,,,there are tons of other cultures to draw upon). Even the original opening theme of a Japanese drum track is rarely if ever used anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more that Warframe incorporates a variety to themes in influences in it's design which is one of the things that I like about it.

rapt0rman Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's pretty specifically multi-cultural, anything goes really, it's just a matter of time. 4 minutes ago, (PS4)bddacres said: Well i disagree somewhat.

(PSN)bddacres Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Knight Excal agreed! I also like that the frames themselves draw from various mythologies. Maybe the nova skin just put a sour taste in my mouth after the previous great deluxe skins. However please continue to voice your opinion!(to the rest of the thread.

bowiespoon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 We have a variety of frames and weapons. I don't see why your request for some western medieval weapons is unreasonable. Personally, I'd love some weighty longswords and claymores, ideally with some sick crossguards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want a big thick blade that weighs so much you are going to be tired from a few swings. Most 2 great swords in real life were around the 7lb range. I personally dislike fantasy sword design that's too fat as it makes swords look clumsy and ugly. Galantine looks better than a lot of other fantasy swords, I like it.

I personally dislike fantasy sword design, the swords are often too fat and look ugly and clumsy. Thinner blades look much more elegant. Galantime Prime is probably one of the better proportioned two-handers. I am well versed in european military technology and feudal culture but, if you've ever seen Berserk and seen Guts swing that blade you got to admit it would be cool to have a flat blade in warframe.
