Tsukihime Remake Thread - NOT THE SPOILER THREAD

[Nanaya]

He still has the school uniform. His look while out on the town is pretty reminiscent of his manga appearance though.

Doesn't the OP almost confirm this?

Not really confirmation because it could just represent her past and not necessarily the persona that's usually tied to that look nowadays. As far as imagery goes. So I hope they do let her manifest that part of her being. Literally no better platform to give us that information than this game and it could be a good avenue for Shiki and her to develop.

Edit: It's amazing that the official channel has 1mil views and the other guy has 2.2 mil already lmao. At least people are interested.

I wonder if we'll get some Archetype-Earth manifestation. I'd like to see Shiki telling her that regardless, Arc is just Arc to him, no matter the persona. Given some of the Tsuki themes(Duality, character identity, etc) and Shiki's character, I feel like that fits.

It already happened in KT?

[Nanaya]

It already happened in KT?

I mean technically it also happens in Melty Blood. Not that sort of scene of course but that aspect of Arc appears and the idea that they're two parts of one whole is reinforced. That said, I'd like to see it expanded on in more than that dream-like sequence with that past-time encounter with Shiki/Roa. Frankly, it was a wonderful scene and they should touch on the concept more. I could really see that leading up to a second game or expansion as a plot point. Arc sealing herself, CM threatens to revive, CM once again underestimates humanity and is defeated, Shiki brings her back to herself and reiterates that scene from KT since that aspect of her and full blown CM are not the same. Toss in as many DAA and extenuating circumstances as desired.

Honestly, if he was still in that ridiculous looking school outfit I might have projectile vomited.

You can make all the comments about new characters designs and lack of air intakes and granny skirts and Mash senpai you like, but keeping Shiki in those old-arse school clothes for twenty years was a horrific decision.

Er what makes his blue school uniform any different from the brown one we see Shirou wear? Just because Shiki keeps it fully buttoned up?

Honestly it doesn't really look old-fashioned or anything.

I'm more saddened they didn't show Shiki's blue-orange shirt and jeans.

That faceless look and blue-orange t-shirt are iconic and haters just have no taste:

Honestly in retrospect, its gaudy colors kind of made Shiki stand out in the static blue filter backgrounds.

[Nanaya]

I still really like that manga spread with Shiki wearing the military uniform.

[warellis]

I mean, the muggles Akiha gets along with are her two roommates, and a kouhai that is part of the student council, of which Akiha is a member...
So... she's still only interacting with people she's forced to.
Shijou Tsukasa doesn't count.
Btw, A Story for the Evening is great.

Wasn't the kouhai one who could see the future or something and really liked Shiki's voice?

[weeblord]

Shiki’s school uniform looks awful because the bright blue color and the goofy buttons that stick out like sore thumbs, especially in Melty Blood. Also I like how the example of shiki being hot in that tweet looks like hes just wearing the ugly blue uniform on top of another one of his ugly blue uniforms cause he doesnt own other clothes.

It isn't too different, it's just slightly less disgusting than Shirou's because it isn't the actual colour of shit, and way more so because he hasn't taken it off in twenty years.

This man has it.

I'd buy Supreme Nanaya Knife.

i hate that shirt with a burning passion. That fucking shirt.

[RacingeR]

Cue This shirt. This shirt. This shirt. This shirt. This shirt. etc.

[GundamFSN]

Well they ended up giving Shirou's justice jacket to Shiki.

I think Shiki's design in Re at the end of the day just a palette swap of Shirou at this point.

It's either this, or we've just fallen so deep that we cannot tell the difference anymore.

Which Shirou? Short hair Shirou of the original VN or longer, messier hair Shirou of the last decade?


because this is the original Shirou

Spoiler:

And he is not very similar to current shiki.

[GundamFSN]

The newer Shirou of course.

Technically Nanaya had this hairstyle first, but since Re Shiki is in this hair mode by default the former just lost his signature look.

Maybe Nanaya will have his hair down in this one who knows.

It would seem the hypothetical Tsuki2 would have explored that more for Arc's side of the story.

Yes, Seo Akira. Incidentally she has the same surname as Seo Shizune, the girl from Future Gospel that has similar abilities and ends up liking Mikiya.
It's all connected man, it's all a conspiracy maaaaan.

I can see where you're coming from but I don't fully agree tbh.
It's just that Takeuchi's current artstyle lends itself to similarities. For better or for worse.
I think the different is noticeable specifically when you compare the characters in their animated forms. Animated Shirou's hair is very different from Shiki's. In fact I agree with the person that said Shiki was more similar to Gudao.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

He just went from being Mikiya expy to Gudao expy. Would've preferred him to have Mikiya's hairstyle, or go with Enjou's. Oh well.

[Twelveseal]

Yes, Seo Akira. Incidentally she has the same surname as Seo Shizune, the girl from Future Gospel that has similar abilities and ends up liking Mikiya.

Ummm... They're called the Seo sisters for a reason.
