the official team unveiled the three-view designs for Essence 3, showcasing the intricate details of three new character costumes. All three outfits have exceeded expectations in quality and design!
Barmaid – Fragile Fracture (S-Tier)
The three-view design of Barmaid's S-Tier costume appears even more refined than in the promotional video. Notably, the skirt's hem, crafted from iridescent glass-like material, refracts a spectrum of colors. The high-low skirt design, paired with a delicate white veil over her hat, adds a unique touch. The costume's special effects feature colorful light spots, reminiscent of sunlight reflecting off a glass, promising a dazzling in-game presence.
Accessories & Costume Details
Breaking from tradition, the cocktail shaker is a transparent vessel filled with vibrant hues, and the glass she holds resembles a mysterious potion container more than a typical drinkware. This design choice adds an experimental flair, as if sourced directly from the manor's alchemical supplies.
Lawyer – Gilded Showman (A-Tier)
Lawyer's A-Tier costume reveals more details than the initial poster. The coat's collar is adorned with distinctive golden lace, complemented by a feathered hat and a half-white, half-black mask slung across his waist. Shards of glass on his shoulders reflect a rainbow sheen, and his mustache adds a charming touch. However, it seems the developers might have overlooked the color variation in Lawyer's prosthetic eye anchor points.
Accessories & Costume Details
The handheld accessory resembles a microphone, likely pairing well with the masquerade-themed pendant. However, the costume's design raises questions about the performance's propriety, especially with the chest cutout—a design choice previously seen in Composer's Li Chengming outfit.
Geisha – Melting Amber Tears (A-Tier)
Geisha's new purple skin presents two contrasting forms: the serene beauty and the terrifying Hannya. The twin locks of hair framing her face enhance her delicate appearance, with petals and butterflies accentuating her ethereal beauty. The asymmetrical dress design features a skirt that flows like molten amber, creating an indescribably perfect aesthetic. In contrast, the Hannya form resembles a vengeful spirit from the underworld, exuding a ghostly bronze aura.
Accessories & Costume Details
The glass fan is particularly intriguing, appearing as if made from semi-melted glass, with blades also crafted from glass, seemingly reducing its lethality. The sleeves are asymmetrical—one intact, the other tattered—sharing the same material as Barmaid's skirt. This purple skin for Geisha has surpassed expectations, achieving perfection.
Hannya Form Details
The fan in the Hannya form closely resembles that of the beauty form, with the jade green stone adding to its allure. The dress appears to melt and stick together, raising curiosity about whether this viscous effect can be replicated in-game. The most captivating feature is the mask, with two faces stacked vertically, amplifying the eerie atmosphere.
