Guys, its the design not the technology

I feel like people complaining about Xilonen (and the rest of Natlan’s designs) aren’t coveying their opinions right. It’s the design, not the technology.

Khaenriah had gundams, Nahida jumps on keycaps, Sumeru has wifi and internet, Ayato drinks boba, Kirara is a UPS, Clorinde does pew-pews and Navia owns a mafia. These are just all examples of modern things/concepts well integrated to the game that we somehow missed and/or hardly complained about simply because they were perfectly designed according to their respective regions.

Of the released and known characters only Mualani resembles and therefore a good representative of her respective tribe. Not a single thing about Scions of the Canopy signify that their hero Kinich would be pixelated who also happens to own a Ben 10 watch. No problem with Xilonen being a DJ, her tribe loves music (and graffiti). But they could’ve designed her better, more fitting for her tribe.

Do these things matter tho? Not really, their designs maybe out of place and/or not for everyone, but it may also be the sole reason why other would actually pull for them. At the end of the day it is just a game, and I know myself I wouldnt lose sleep knowing Kinich is designed like retro arcade games but his tribe is known for extreme outdoor sports. Total opposite but still fine. And his burst is cool. Out of place but cool.
