Default Changed Spirit Aesthetics

Looks like all non attacking Spirits got the model Destruction used to be alone in. All the rest remain the same.

Makes sense to me, never did quite understand why Destruction was singled out.

The actual spirit is the same as spirit of Destruction. Offensive Spirit that attack will have the 'Normal' Spirit Art Model. And every other spirit except Life use the Destruction Spirit Art Model.

its much more fitting to have the defense spirits with heavy looking armor, angel wings and crossed arms. just makes more sense all over. also can help you make sense of what build the enemy rit has gone

For the former point, I'd have to say I like the bound creature look more than the destruction look for defensive spirits - the fact this look is more badass kind of undermines their purpose imo. But then, it could just be that I liked their resemblance to Anima, and hence I always liked the idea of a bound summon.

To the second point, I'd have to say that is a wonderful one - being able to tell what spirits the enemy is using by looking at them is a very good change. I'm quite happy that they decided to do something along those lines - although I still believe that they should have swapped the spirit aesthetic the other way around.

I was wondering why there were all these Destruction looking spirits when I was playing yesterday. Now it makes sense. I was sure that there was a D glitch everyone was exploiting. :-)

Hopefully, head banging will prevent the misreading of posts from now on.


I didn't notice that until I read the thread. I've still been dropping the spirits and running around.

fixed :P

But now the attacking spirits look... like they need an update. I mean it's cool that the defensive spirits fit into one category... but is destruction a defensive spirit? I think they just changed all of the spirits that don't 'actively' do anything. They just sit there and wait to die.

At least you can tell them apart more easily, instead of having to click on it all the time.

Well I wouldn't call them defensive spirits. Passive spirits would be a better term.
