I don't like "funny" design of some enemies

[Sanctuary]

Albinaurics (the guys on the lake capable of doing wheels)
And oracle envoys (trumpet soap bubble guys)

and giant Radahn on tiny horse. straight out of comedy
wtf? why?

Why not

they are too funny to be in dark fantasy. I don't feel as edgelord when I see them.

Their bulbous heads and spikes when angered ok. they are some of the basic enemies in the game
Radhan loves his horse
The bubble guys are just funny but can be deadly

[zero]

the thing about dark fantasy is that there will still be moments of levity and normalcy within it.

[Mewsha]

Albinaurics have the saddest lore. :(

Maybe, you're just so far over the edge, that you find a large, disfigured warrior on a tiny horse, eating the corpses of their own comrades funny, rather than disturbing.

Personally, i find genuine attempts at being edgy very funny these days, like players unironically slow-walking with dual katanas. Just my kind of humor.

Same. This is what I see when a dual katana wielder approaches me:

This is an aspect of Japanese graphic arts that is most familiar to Westerners in the form of anime. The grotesque or oversized way characters are drawn is meant to convey aspects of their personalities. They're visual metaphors, like the enormous swords that are common in Japanese anime and symbolize the passion of the wielder. Radahn is drawn that way because he is a monster, a beast that crushes everything in his path including his horse.

Radahn absolutely loves that “tiny horse” (Leonard) to the point he literally learned gravity magic just to continue riding him.

Seriously going into lore Radhan is a absolute gigachad who treated his soldiers with upmost respect and is a total animal lover from his horse to cut content with the cat talisman stating Radahn had a cat whom like Leonard he absolutely loved.

That’s why Radahn is the best god and would have totally taken the throne if malenia wasn’t a sore loser and nuked Caelid.

Unfortunately, i kinda agree with this.

I know the lore behind Radahn and his love for Leonard, buuut....

Ok, thanks for sharing. The rest of us now will enjoy the originallity and surprising design decisions that make Fromsoft the unique top player they are.

[Aertes]

Radahn even has a reason for it, you find out when you examine some of his objects.
The oracles looked disturbing to me.
The second generation albinaurics look weird indeed, and their side roll tactiques don't help, but hey, don't judge them for being different!

The really sad part of photos like that (and there are many) is that instruction in iai-to is pretty readily available in many parts of the US, and would--at a minimum--prevent these wannabe badasses from holding their strip mall-purchased wall ornaments in so embarassingly incorrect a fashion.

I get wanting to look hard/mysterious; I was a teenager once upon a time, too. But just like the "SEAL snipers" of XBox Live, the goofballs who pose with swords always out themselves as rank amateurs to anyone who has a clue what they're doing.

...and no, I am not a "katana master." I've just been involved with a Shuri school for a couple of decades that also teaches iai-to, and we have a few exceptionally talented practitioners in the roster.

Alburnaics are hideously malformed due to...basically that ♥♥♥♥ from Fullmetal alchemist gone not quite as bad.

Oracle envoys are women and children

Radahns horse is practically a walking corpse at this point, look at it.

Think of it as dark humor
