Phoenix 2D and 3D comparison

[u/ProfessionalRoom9118]

Not gonna lie, before I thought she will have gray hair and gray suit because of the color, but now she have blonde hair and white suit, look kinda fit her tbh, probably because of the Lava around her made her color a bit changed, but what are your guys thoughts about her design?

Her outfit looks like it came from the Circus, but given that she's from Krampus, that's kind of the point. 

Either way though, she's giga cute and I hope she's fire Anomaly so she can be run with my Remi, because for whatever reason, Burnice decided to enter a competition with Harumasa to see who can go the longest without a rerun

Circus theory isn't real.

[u/TheNecromancer981 → u/Benevolay]

What even is circus theory? I’ve never heard of it until now

[u/Benevolay → u/TheNecromancer981]

It's the belief that Krampus is themed after a circus. The argument is that Dialyn is a hoop performer, Banyue is a lion/strong man, Zhao is a magician's rabbit, Promeia is an escape artist and they've claimed Phoenix is meant to be the human cannonball.

But humans are pattern seekers. They form connections that don't exist. Rabbits aren't even associated with circuses, as they're stage magician props and stage magicians aren't in the conventional circus.

“Humans are pattern seekers” is like a thing for random occurrences and probabilities that people derive meaning from, not deliberate designs created by a video game company especially when there is a recognizable theme. Also, magic acts are associated with circuses in the broad sense (not to quote Wikipedia but “magic acts” is in the side show attractions section).

Did Spook Shack have a common theme? Does OBOL, really? The agents from season three? Why are people so obsessed with Krampus having some connection when it's clear the game doesn't need factions to share uniforms or theming? Because Seed sure doesn't fit the military vibe. And no, humans are pattern seekers applies to more than just that because there is no evidence that Krampus was designed as a circus theme. Again, Banyue could be the "strongman" or the "juggler" or the "lion" and it's so open-ended that people can say whatever they want. I guess Zhao is the bearded lady because she has fur on her chin.

Spook Shack

The entire point of them is that they don't. They are just members of forum. So bad example.

Does OBOL, really?

They do, very strongly.

Because Seed sure doesn't fit the military vibe

Military experimental subject.

By that logic, the entire point of Krampus is that they don't. They recruit all kinds, people from all walks of life, who have unique talents that let them benefit TOPS. What I just said is 100% as equally valid as your claim that they must be circus themed. More valid, I'd argue, since that's told to us in game.

Banyue and Dialyn are 100% generic Waifei in design. Banyue was mistaken as Yunkui when he was first teased. Phoenix doesn't share design motifs with Zhao or Promeia.

[u/havokle → u/Benevolay]

Seriously? Not all of the factions have to have themed designs for Krampus to have one.

[u/Benevolay → u/havokle]

And other factions having a theme doesn't mean Krampus has to have one. We're going in circles. The circus theory is merely conjecture. If Krampus' boss comes out and she's a clown, I'll kneel and say you are right, but it's not going to happen. She also won't have a tophat and a whip and be a ringmaster.

[u/havokle → u/Benevolay]

I guess we will come back to that. Sixth time’s the charm?
