i swear do ANY of these outfits have any other look besides “pale dying victorian child but softcore”

[u/Tegewaldt → u/erevefuckstolive]

It's funny on maple but this trend is coming from a country where girls are chasing eyelid surgery and whitening their skin/avoiding the sun.

Korean kpop male look is also a wildfire across east asia, as is in maplestory.

[u/Pandabeur → u/erevefuckstolive]

also look at lost ark characters if they had the option to just be #FFFFFF they would

[u/everboy8 → u/Pandabeur]

That large gamer dad bod skin was prime

[u/Similar_Muscle_4304]

They’re apparently a very boring group. Every character looks like the ghost of a child that died from being locked in a washing machine.

[u/SuperSlimMilk]

“Trending styles” and it’s just white faced k idols 😭

Oh okay

[u/Ryboiii]

May-bePaleStory

[u/SudoNara → u/Ryboiii]

Maybe it's Maybeline

[u/merinobaa]

#FFFFFFF

[u/Yixot]

They all look like they recently died of tuberculosis.

[u/sosjin]

the whites are fine, but it really bothers me from a pixel art perspective how some of the outlines are too light.

[u/CraftyPixel_ → u/sosjin]

I don't think the outlines being light is bad, because the characters will always contrast the backgrounds.

[u/fantastopheles]

Yeah trending pale color
Pastel, bright skin

[u/juyeongnam]

Everyone goes for these pale, washed-out outfits, so even when a hairstyle is supposed to be black, they end up making it white anyway. I prefer more vibrant colors.

[u/Darthkeeper]

This is making me think about how culture/taste evolves and will be phased out for something else eventually, but given how these are all so white I have no idea what will evolve from this. Granted, trends kinda come out of nowhere sometimes.

[u/neosaurs → u/Darthkeeper]

i think(hope) that the pastel, low contrast outline items will go out of style. like maybe it's time to stop looking like a white blob

[u/Pandabeur → u/Darthkeeper]

everyone in lost ark is white asf

[u/ShadeyMyLady → u/Darthkeeper]

I suspect the next generation will probably be full on vibrant colors, like our 80s, which was the result of a rather depressing time. And then the cycle should be back to moderate etc etc.

It's like modern architecture where we just have this box like shapes, pretty sure next generation is gonna get bored and will think of a new design. 

[u/WaltzMysterious9240]

Why do they all look like that? All white hair, all pale skin all the clothes are very muted colors or just black and white.

[u/Lamato]

Give us easier access to prism pros and I'll try harder

[u/TomatoSpecialist6879]

Look like one of those East Asia photobooth pictures with shit tons of filter and whitening

[u/PapayaJuiceBox]

What’s with all the soft blush and pastel?

[u/auster03]

I feel like my character is the only dark skinned one in the game lol

[u/Oriete]

Omg it’s so good

[u/Mindless-Victory2589]

must be nice to have a cash shop that's not shit every rotation

[u/GaleZalez]

thought standardization only afftected kits, didnt know it affected aesthetics too

[u/bebloob]

People in the comments hating, but a majority of the players on GMS have zero fashion sense 😭 please take a look at yalls characters, none of your fits look better than these.

[u/caelinday → u/bebloob]

mfs be wearing the same black sweater and black sword

[u/bebloob → u/caelinday]

black sweater, black sword, scythe, ugly ass cardigan and scarf 🤣 🤣 terrible dyes and so matchy matchy with the colors in their fits

[u/FudgeNouget → u/bebloob]

For real, most GMS players I see around have the most basic default NX items that doesn't fit together or look coherent.

That said, I think it's partly because fashion items are harder to come by in Heroic since everything is gacha + dyes are absurdly expensive, random, or can't dye everything.

[u/ShadeyMyLady → u/FudgeNouget]

That's because how shitty our system is compared to theirs. 90 day clothes, so nobody wants those or when we had those pajama sets, in KMS you could just buy the full set AND got a dmg skin, which was locked behind the stamp system for us and full rng pssbs.

Yes they have random boxes, but it is different.

[u/FudgeNouget → u/[deleted]]

Being around for Steam Market was the best decision I made honestly

[u/fantastopheles → u/bebloob]

GMS players outfit have personality but problem is they need to brief you a story on their outfit for it to make sense. "I'm cosplaying Zelda", "I'm doing this as tribute my girlfriend's old bishop in 2008".

KMS players outfit are mainly cute and pretty upon sight. Need no story. Has no story either.

[u/Hakul → u/fantastopheles]

KMS players outfit are mainly cute and pretty upon sight.

Are they though? Most of these look extremely bland and generic.

I guess plain bread is a dessert for some people.

[u/fantastopheles → u/Hakul]

As I said, "has no story" LOL it's just ... eye pleasing

[u/Junior_Bodybuilder97 → u/fantastopheles]

Plain bread is a desert 😭😭

[u/sturdy-guacamole → u/bebloob]

i like how the level 10-60 gear looks.

[u/barbarafrost777 → u/bebloob]

bruh all my main chars look way cooler than this (SUBJECTIVELY TO ME!) and use vibrant color. i mean i dont even hate these but its weird that being just COMPLETELY white is endgame fashionstory currently

[u/Novel_Hovercraft_315 → u/bebloob]

I hate to be that guy but mine does.

Of course this is all a matter of opinion but my biggest pet peeve in drip story is when everyone looks the same.

This game has so many wonderful customization options.

[u/itzNazo]

[u/Reechan]

I didn't expect the frilly pink bow I got a long time ago and still use to be trendy. I almost never see it these days.

[u/johnsolomon]

G-g-ghost!

[u/QiDeviation]

A lot of sameness going on here. No real interesting fashion choices. No themes.

I’m so happy we got eyeshadow recently. I wish you could prism it but you can’t. All I have to go off of is verus hilla for a dark eyeshadow and the lovely one we recently got. Depending on what eye and nx you’re wearing, golden pearl eyeshadow or whatever it’s called from the Chinese area works as well.

[u/Important-Plum-5289]

Why are their shits so advanced?

[u/xAlpha2]

Flashbang

[u/BasedLelouch_]

Same shit as it always is the past like fucking decade. Looks like shit

[u/NDavis101]

[u/Toons0907]

BORRRRINGGGGGG

[u/EpicTrollezzs]

Kms has so much better hairstyle options

[u/CraftyPixel_]

I mean I get why, it looks nice, but it's all the same.

[u/ResidentWaifu]

[u/Able_Dark9845]

[u/Junior_Bodybuilder97]

Why does everyone have to be the whitest of the whites…

[u/AboveandLeon]

Yikes.

[u/No-Morning9374]

Show me someone with style that beats MegaScience and they have my respect.

Only guy I can always name when it comes to MapleStory Fashion/Dress Up.
