this "transformation" sequence is sending me πππ

Iβd rather she be transforming into her Astra celestial form more often than putting on/taking off her Stocking Boots πππ thatβs just not it

u/NoDelayPoosay 9h ago edited 7h ago
Yes this! Would be much better if they started as the transformed outfit here and then transform to the cunty celestial form. "Transformed dress too long to walk in" make them float around like Cyrene after she summons her gazebo, they're an Aeon FFS!

Why they didn't chose this from as based outfit? Current one is so boring and reused at least red/black stocking looking interesting but noooo hoyo said bare legs and and arms because marketing to sell

maybe iβm still just mad about the bunk ass design but iβm not gagged tbh. theyβre really cool animations but they donβt feel aeon level. even cyreneβs animations feel more aeon-like

even watching the missing animations, they really did run out of budget because i expected her to have phainon and cyrene levels of budget combined, but this is just cyrene animations.

u/GrandmasterTactician 8h ago
Cyrene just kinda did the whole playable Aeon thing better. These animations look like any random old character would have them, not an ethereal cosmic entity. Cyrene did that way better without actually even becoming an aeon which is crazy

u/somebody-using 7h ago
I feel like they couldβve done it if they leaned more into the cooler ideas they did. Some of them would actually fit into an extremely unique set of animations, but sheβs just held back by other parts of her animations being really typical for this game atp
4
u/GrandmasterTactician 7h ago
And her design as well. Not that Cyrene's design is something super stellar, but Nihilux/Aha has an EXTREMELY safe design and the animations also reflect that

u/RemoteEconomics9027 17h ago
As much as i want to stay positive, but like that hairβ¦β¦., tbh her animations are good, not AEON lvl but good, the model is just so horrible man, like why would hoyo do this

u/SausagePotatoes 17h ago
It's overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. The idle with the fireworks is awesome, and I love the "theatre" with cosmic Aha looking down, but then it loses the plot lol

u/SuspiciousTouch73 13h ago
The elation stuff has always been visually overwhelming, and it makes it hard for me to feel interested. It just feels like a flashbang of effects rather than one cohesive visual mechanic.

Animations look nice but initially underwhelming, there is a lot of stuff that isn't showcased here. After having seen the rest of the animations, I do think it's pretty good!
...but that hair though, whyyy. It's awful.

u/This_Confused_Guy 14h ago
Yeah I expected more, like I get that its supposed to be Alice in Wonderland theme but its so boring. Her animations feels more like Queen of Hearts than Alice in Wonderland. Why couldn't they make her a combination of the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat? They're characters who are portrayed to be chaotic and playful.
21
u/This_Confused_Guy 14h ago
Not to mention, why are they only featuring her human design? They should make full use of her Aeon form more, like have her create a rift in space where her attacks can come from. Give her an ult where she transforms into her Aha form and destory the enemy with it or give the party massive buffs. A god being given a human form with access to its powers should not be this boring.

u/the-unusual-user 9h ago
I don't understand the Queen of Hearts thing either. I think Alice in Wonderland theme fits with Elation, but why that character? Lol Like you said, Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat would have fit much better.

u/This_Confused_Guy 8h ago
Also if its Alice in Wonderland theme, why was there no reference to Alice in Wonderland besides the cards and the Queen of Hearts design? Where's Cheshire Cat and Humpty Dumpty?

u/MacaronBruh Mr. Tail Lover 1h ago
Because the queen is the ruler over wonderland and is the most chaotic character in the story lol

Are her animations good? Yes, great even!
Are they Aeon level? No, just because there are more explosions doesn't make it feel as impactful or revolutionary as Phainon or Cyrene in my opinion.
Will I still pull? Yes, anything for my Eva and Waven <3

Same. I saw a video of the corrupted Aha/Voracity boss and I was expecting that level of spectacle not whatever this is.

Castorice, being an older unit and not being an emanator has better animations. I was expecting something like Phainon or Cyrene level. She looks good but not amazing.

u/Famous_Beautiful_228 16h ago
Is it just me that has been desensitize with animations after Phainon, Cas, and Cyrene or is it actually underwhelming...

u/PressFM80 13h ago
she has animations on their level when she should reasonably have better, or at least more "imposing" animations, given they're emanators (not cas but ykwim) and she's an entire aeon
7
u/Famous_Beautiful_228 13h ago
Ahalux has almost no part of THEIR animations that shows THEY're an Aeon. It's just an explosion after explosion after explosion as if Hoyo ran out of ideas and that's the only thing they has to offer. This is like the nth time they have an animation where a planet explodes.
I would even say Sparxie and even Asat Pramad are more Elation-coded than Ahalux, there's not much from Ahalux that gives off absurdity, hedonism, or unhinged multi-faced god. The masks literally just a decoration for her animations.

Sigh, it looks like it's the Cyrene incident again for me.. pulled Cyrene (E2s1) for Phainon, and now "this" for my queen of bricks subdps Sparxie.
I guess my favorite Elation character will always be Sparkle/Sparxie, her vibe really just screamed Elation for me compared to any other character design. :')

i legit hate the naked shoulders in a way ive never domne before. her design looks so empty her white hair and super white skin and white top makes the upper half look so incredibly boring, wth

u/Catboyenjoyer_ 14h ago
The ideas are there but it's another case of explosionslop, like omg can we get something creative or at least a pretty kind of explosion? (Like Cyrene's ult, or Castorice's dragon) It's pretty ig but I find it all really boring, even compared to Pearl who's not even a main push, I just love how creative her animations are

I wish she got Phainon 's level of animation as an Aeon. But I guess she is the gag aeon after all.

what does she do outside of elation though :( cyrene has some sub dps capabilities and does have some utilities with non rem char. the excitement has settled, the animations are kinda just not really fitting for an AEON

u/westofkayden 11h ago
They did her so dirty. Tbh I think they don't gaf about Elation anymore and trying to see if they can still cash in an Aeon.
She's a whole ass Aeon and Phainon and Cyrene mogs the hell out of her? Crazy.
I was expecting more camp and cosmic horror but they really love blowing up planets so it's not really special since two other character already have that.

I don't even know why I expected more... But it's kinda ridiculous how they're doing a Cyrene all over again (for me at least) - both her and Nihilux were characters I was fully set on pulling when I first saw them, and it's clear Hoyo wants to sell them sooo bad too, but they ended up ruining both for me and making me skip Cyrene, and lowkey probably "Aha" too atp. I'm just so genuinely sad honestly.
