Character designs

i think we can all agree, that the character designs in this game are amazing. i love looking at the 3-d models you get when you defeat the enemy for the first time, or when you get a new guardian spirit.

anyone got any favourites? mines is the nine tailed fox, Ryomen Sukuna and the kamaitachi.

Character designs in this game might be the best in the industry. Team Ninja has super talented artists imo. I can't name favourites though, because there are way too many awesome designs.

Snake ladies and Joker Face Carriage yokai from the DLCs. But yeah, Ryomen Sakuna is the coolest boss design in the game.

Japanese mythological creatures often look really silly, but Nioh manages to make them look menacing as well.

Well the japanese have some weird sh*t in their mythologie.

I bet everyone know these farting art scrolls from some memes or so :)

They kinda put that in the game with the tasso or not.

Just weird like the headless in Sekiro that pull out your as*hole. Also based on some weird ♥♥♥. stuff.

I like it.

That's a nice question.For me favourite one is the Otakemaru-at first glance he may look like the most generic "bad japanese demon",but after playing on higher settings and getting some more glances I realised how many details there were:
Root-like hair on arms and legs,having body parts of all 3 yokai types,as well as utilising all 3 yokai spirit types in combat in his final form,and sanmyo blades being holded by floating hands
His personality is meh,but otherwise design is really solid.
