Aether Gazer or PGR? 🤔

I personally prefer PGR's aesthetic more. They so enthusiastically take notes from Shinkawa Yoji's more militaristic and practical designs that it's hard not to feel a little bias as a Metal Gear fan. 😂😂

Definitely prefer PGR design. It have that unique feeling of being different and definitely says that PGR design doesn't feel like anime at all.

Aether Gazer seems to lean more into the "High Sci fi" aesthetic. Designs that are visually striking, plenty of bright colors and accents, the technology also seems to be more over the top, like the four mech arms. PGR is more grounded and militaristic, "function over form", tactical accessories, exposed cybernetics and armor. They don't overexaggerate the designs and keep it simple. Both have their own unique take though.

Aesthetics will prefer PGR for its more militaristic feel. However, PGR's movement set design is what truly separates it from the other gacha games. Just look at Pulao's and Hyperreal's move sets in slow motion.

It's hard to compare Rosetta to any other character honestly. It's very unique, but I love to use of lower parts being so robotic and full of wires cuz of her being centaur hybrid before

PGR has some of my favourite character designs of all time. As for AG I find some character designs intriguiging but I have to play them myself first

PGR design so simple yet so unique and does not stand out too much while AG has too much detail both designs are beutifull ngl but pGrr is i like the most

I can't quite make a whole argument on why i think PGR is better but i can come up with a observation , PGR is more grounded and militaristic , it all combines perfectly with the setting and the art direction of the game meanwhile AG goes more on the sci-fi waifu thing and at the same time trying to blend both AK and PGR aesthethic ideas , that it gives the feeling of generic or that is trying too hard , though there are some good examples like Hades

Pgr cus kuro made the design’s look like they’re in a post apocalyptic world but aether gazer looks like students who are being taught how to survived the post apocalyptic world lol

I can't quite shell AG, but I love PGRs more grounded look. It just seems, like something you could actually wear IRL to stand out, but not look like a complete color candle.

I like both, I think, I like the clean feeling of the pgr characters and it fits well with them... as a more palpable feeling. In AG, the design is more like "made to sell" I think that's the best way to describe it, which is good too, since it's a gacha game after all.

I congratulate the creators of both games, all characters are very well built. Beautiful Waifus and beautiful husbandos.

nothing can beat trashtalking Karenina, and sadistic redhead mommy Vera.

I definitely prefer PGR design. Qu and Lucia-Plume have got to have some of the best designs in the fictional genre for me

I guess it is the better comparison 0:08 Ayla 0:33 Lee Hypereal 0:53 Liv 1:11 Bianca 1:20 Also Bianca 1:33 Liv Soleater

Normal pgr designs are simplistic and more on function then beauty, Which make sense as they are in war no time to look pretty. But then we have the skins which go all out on beauty which also make sense coatings are mostly used outside of work like when they were on the beach and such, Coatings were meant to make constructs look good and are the clothing equivalent for them.

If I can describe it in one word PGR is more "refined" than AG, the devs research and skills in character designing shows

PGR's design is the holy trinity of Metal Gear Rising, Anime and Gacha.

PGR is more tamed while AG has more cakes

Oh men, I actually love PGR, chapter twelve is awesome, fighting Qu as Hikari's crescendo goes on was truly precious.

PGR designs looks more mature to me.

Something about the Aether Gazer models just seems off to me. I haven't quite been able to pinpoint it, but it's almost like AG is trying to hard, so while I like some designs... the characters just feel unnatural to me.

I really love the mechanical design elements of pgr while ag doesn't have much so i like pgr designs more

Early pgr units are clearly inferior to AG but from scithe guy onward it's an uncontestable pgr W for the most part. Pgr's more militaristic/utilitarian vibe is definitely a big plus in terms of memorable chara design. AG's design have a very overdesigned anime sci fi kind of vibe to it. The redheaded spear chick at 1:19 is a great example of why i think pgr takes the cake in this comparison: she has a simple color pattern (black and white), arms are clearly mecanical and kinda look like gloves, she has a jacket that ends above the waist that you could probably wear irl, the white bodysuit isn't revealing at all, the legs are also mecanical even though they look like boots from afar only the tighs have clothing more specifically black tights. Finally the things dangling by her side have a clear purpose despite you not knowing what it is (they're rocket boosters) and they give meaning to the belts that she has which is notable because belts usually don't have a purpose in chara design. My favorite gacha in terms of chara design is arknights and more specifically arknights' npcs... Emperor's blade are russian super soldier terminator and their designed can be summed up as "tall dude with a pilot mask on, a sword on his side and a black coat" and they're sooooo fucking drip like omfg.

Looking back on this: AG has objectively more detailed models and designs. Higher poly counts, transparent materials, good use of bloom and bumpmaps, etc. In a screenshot, it's easy to determine that AG is a relatively newer game than PGR. PGR has objectively better animations and skeletons. Besides idle animations, you can tell from the slight jiggle of hair / chest that each model in PGR is designed to take advantage of physics-based animation as well. A huge layer of personality is already visible from the get-go. AG has neither of these visible from idle menus, so characters tend to feel a bit more doll-like. I'm partial to the details on AG's clothes, but PGR overall feels more cohesive to the characters when you have unique faces and the seamless marriage of faux-organic robotics and a variety of fashion (techwear for Gray Raven, Victorian-styled doll clothing for Nanami / 21 / Bianca, tight leather and a muzzle for Camu). Kuro's artists take their characters seriously, which I appreciate.

I'm a pgr main But I'm so excited that there's another game similar to pgr!! Can't wait

PGR gives the vibe of dark sci fi , has dark color & AG gives like modern era sci fi with bright color. Character design is almost same to more in both. M Its the the color that makes their vibe different.

Pgr design is simple but better than ag design

As someone who doesn't play both games (yet i'm waiting for pc release on pgr but if aether gazer releases on pc i'd also be interested) it's a bit hard to decide. I think the quality on Aether Gazer simply looks a bit better / more smooth. In terms of the design alone, seeing similar characters in direct comparison, honestly it's sometimes one and sometimes the other for me. Can't really pick a favorite there. So due to the better looking quality (imho) Aether Gazer gets a slight W from me at least. (1:05 for PGR and 1:31 for Aether Gazer are my favorites. Yes. I love whiteish hair)

Now that you mention it, Tyre and Camu actually makes sense, but WHERE IS MY BOY KAGUTSUCHI!!! 😭😭😭

Pgr's character model variety godly and designs too, i prefer pgr but i have faves in ag too

PGR designs are just better overall, the latest bilibili revenue report reflects that.

Most of Aether Gazer char design looks Generic

PGR dor Darker Side for me if you said Dark Fantasy or Dark Fiction for the game PGR is suitable. Also Unique how Rosetta looks idk why every game had their copy paste character..

For me PGR has a consistency with how they structure the character models, the designs are a combination of subtle references, yet they look very unique. AG I'm a bit conflicted, but there are only characters which I find aesthetically pleasing. Unlike PGR tho, I don't see the identity of the AG from the characters because of several inconsistencies with how they're designed structurally and in detail. (I get the main concept but it feels like they're characters taken from different games) I also have problems with some of the characters facial structure as it's not properly scaled, in fact many things aren't properly scaled. Lastly there are just features that don't go well with the characters "vibe," It's like a failed attempt, trying to design something unique.

The only thing that bothers me is that in the PC launcher PGR's character models have nothing to envy to AG's in terms of graphic quality specially the newer ones look fantastic in my dedicated GPU (I guess this video is too old for that). I can't say I prefer PGR over AG because I have never played AG, someday I will try it out but recently I have felt kind of satured with too much Gacha games trying to snatch my attention, I don't even want to install it, but maybe someday. However PGR is one of those gacha games that I really enjoy playing.

The fact that you put Nuadha and Lee side by side actually makes sense cause they both are good machanics

No. 21 turned into Chaika.!

genderbent bianca is making me unstraight wtf🤨

Maybe it's because i've played PGR so much, but i like AG designs more. While militaristic design looks nice and unique at first, it will quickly feel bland since there's not much to catch my eye, and playing for a long time using bland colors will get your eyes numb. Also, PGR needs max brightness to play, since everything on the screen is so dark (including character, stage background, enemies) like DC movies. It's also hard to keep an eye on my character's movements, since every color is dark and bland, so i don't even know how my characters move when attacking the enemy, i just rely on my ears to keep track on how much i hit/get hit by the enemies. It seems i'm the only one here who likes AG design more😅

PGR definitely!!

I think I prefer PGR bcs more diverse cast of chars, and AG reminds me of HI3 design. But I do like some of the AG chars

PGR design stands out for me way more than AG. Kinda reminded me kf Arknights's chara design, but edgier, grittier, darker, have more cyberpunk futuristic's vibes, dystopic, and industrial.

Im not playing PGR. But PGR character design is unusual and unique.

听说AG的角色建模和动作设计是委托别的公司制作而并不是他们公司自己制作的，所以在角色的建模和动作设计上并没有PGR那么稳定甚至是不断上升，PGR在角色设计和动作设计上已经有一点游戏工业化的味道了

I like both so both

The choice was made by the gacha system for me.... I was already not happy with the models in AG, the faded animation of the battle and the overall combat system, the interface... the music... of the unequivocal pluses, only the animation during the dialogues But when I spoiled PGR with the possibility of 100% getting a character (now I thought that I would pull out SSS Bianca - Abystigma, most likely with its 6 * weapons and CUB), instead of Jin-ei I liked somehow, I got a four-armed devil that ... the game is already left immediately If your game is worse in many respects than that of your opponents, maybe you don’t need to tighten the screws to get characters of interest? this is kind of absurd...

I don't know Men, but i'm sorry if I being rude, butt Sometimes i feel Character Design on Aether Gazer was copying PGR Design, Especially on No.21, Damn that was so similar

I like both I play aether gazing when i need to chill and just spam abilities. PGR when i wanna tryhard. and time everything.

PGR more cosplay friendly is just look a bit casual and simple than aether g 😅

Playing both of them but I prefer PGR design coz I love militaristic theme. But AG released recently months ago so I expecting more from them

pgr design are so simple yet its so good i like it more than hi3 and AG

The second half reminds me more Like Hoyoverse chars

Combat wise? There's no other mobile gacha game that can top off PGR

u should use generic final coating

Absolutely love AG design. Maybe i should give it a try when it release in global, waiting and grinding for Bianca abystigma is so tired.

When you use Alpha from the name itself. Aether is already ended.

Man after watching this I think AG is trying too hard to make unique characters but ends up making the most generic characters ever. Like none of them stands out. And comparing them to the earliest characters like Bianca, Sophia and Lotus and Alpha makes me wanna appreciate them more. Honestly speaking AG is good but definitely not for me. Edit: that flying character with green hair looks like a copy of Luna ngl.

AG designs are just mid. they look good but at the same time they’re not original.

I love the more mature and dark tone going for PGR.

0:47 bruh

PGR IS F2P friendly so yeah it wins

i choose game that more safe for my money

May I know the song name of the background music,,?

Lolified Chrome, Genderbent Bianca kek

Ngl playing aether gazer after pgr feels like so much of a downgrade.

PGR win but aether es good i like design aether 1:31 and 1:05

it looks like a copy on the first impression however aether gazer but it became better eventually but tbh aether gazer characters look very generic, they look like some random characters that i would forget after a few minutes the main point of aether gazer have to find their own style that attract players like pgr we have transparent belly and thighs on rosetta

1:41 do you know who is this? (on the right, from aether Gazer)

Uhhh did aether gazer copy pgr? Or no

imo, AG's design can really be generic, lifeless and cringe sometimes. What I like about PGR is how the some of the female characters aren't "that" overly sexualized and you can immediately see that each model/character has their personality even with such simple design. AG makes so much detail to the point it just looks like a bunch of messy clutter and throw in oversized boobas and call it a day.

AG character is much better looking especially the waifu but i think it's tie later, lot of upcoming pgr character is actually looking good tho

1:10 looks like Chaika

Damn 0:36 Thats a Gender Bent Bianca Right there

I see this as less copying and more there has to be certain archetypes in every game with anime graphics. And the nature of anime graphics makes it harder to include more details.

Pgr much better

aether gazer is more generic overall but more detailed

I choose AG cause more detail and more thicc , sexy, booba, that what I want , thank to same developer and Publishers from Azure Lane 😆😂😂😂😂

Song name?

PGR shaders and texturing are just bad compared to AG.

I confiusd

I play both but honestly when it comes to character design there's only like 2 interesting characters in PGR for me so far, AG on the other hand started the same earlier but I quickly fell in love with the some of the character designs and the overall aesthetic afterwards

Masih bagusan ag si Kalo pgr ke nyeremi muka karternya

A great imitation of the Aether Gaze😂😂😂😂

both are good games

Aether Gazer is awesome.

These games are great so why choose when u can play both...why do people always compare...i dont give a shit about the small details as long as im having fun playing..

cringe

Aether gazer looks more of anime

the old one and the new one

Tbh I like aether gazer better

Aether gazer is SOOO much better. PGR designs are boring

Pgr has story campaign that locked behind by team combat power, while aether gazer don't 🙄.

stop
