(PSN)Neltran Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 So I just saw the art of war(frame) video from TennoCon. And they talked about a Deluxe Skin for Excalibur. Not a reaveal or confirming that there is one already, but just that they still would (like to) make one. I personally would like it to be a samurai themed skin. Not only because Warframe is mainly influenced by japanese art / culture /stuff, but because the edo attachements. They dont really seem to fit. They seem to be kinda off. At least thats what I feel about them. They would perfectly fit to a samurai themed skin. You know like the idea of this: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/qdRnn What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? What would you like the deluxe skin to be like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Thang Hung Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 If my Excalibur looked anything like the picture you shared I would never, ever ever put him down. To tell the truth I haven't put Umbra Excal down since I got him anyway but, if he looked like that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first one that got my eye after a quick search for "coole samaurai armor". It would still have to fit into the warframe universe.

PoisonHD Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I wouldn't use the skin if it looked like what's in the picture, I'm not sure what I would want for a deluxe for him, but I don't like the idea of a samurai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama_Sasha Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 What would be more fitting, considering his name, would be a more knight like appearance (even his alt helmets have something to do with a knight). A samurai look doesnt fit him. Just my side of the coin really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaeacus Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Wait, DE implied they want to make "another" Deluxe Skin for Excalibur, despite the Proto Deluxe Skin already existing? Do you have a link for this video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my side of the coin really. thats what i thaught too. i just considered a samurai to be more realistic to be revealed by DE and my main arguement is obviousl.y the japanese influence xD. What kind of knight? There are different types and styles in RL. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant anything close to it (looks at Samurai tattoo on arm), I just really like Samurai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of knight? There are different types and styles in RL. 🙂 Something in style of a Camelot knight or whatever you can call it, like ''Hail Sir Knight'' type of knight. His sword skin could easly be either a classical inspired sword, or the Sword in The Stone, aka Excaliber itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proto skins =/= Deluxe skin, they said the same thing with Volt's proto. 3 minutes ago, (PS4)Neltran said: what would speak against a samurai? to me it seems to fit because of the japanese influence. For me, Excalibur isn't a samurai, he's a knight. A futuristic knight would fit better, and on top of that a samurai skin would clash with Gara, who is actually modeled after one.

Well there's a few others besides Nidus and Nezha that don't have deluxe skins, Harrow and Gara for instance, Zephyr needs one, and Titania's concept is already done so they will have to complete that.

Is this confirmed? I am not doubting you but I just cant see that (O-o) Well a knight is close, but he would rather be using a shield right? And since its "Ninjas Play Free"-Excalibur a samurai seems to be more fitting, wouldnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She even looks it, especially with her alt helmet. Not all knights have to use shields, but anyway even his name suggests a knight "Excalibur", King Arthur, knights of the round table, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excalibur was just the name for a powerfull weapon holding the might of elvish or a christian entity... still i think a samurai can be seen as a japanese knight 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Frost Harka skin being Nordic inspired, but coming with a sword that is far more Roman than Nordic.
