When other games collaborate with Re:Zero, you get wedding dresses and swimsuits. When NIKKE does it? You get... this — a masterclass in bare-minimum effort that somehow still found a way to disappoint everyone.
An NGA user fired off a post with collab character art screenshots, straight-up asking: "Is the Re:Zero collab this conservative because SU didn't pay enough?" The images speak for themselves — the quality issues are glaring.
The top reply hit the nail on the head: "What if the artist genuinely thought this looked the best? Wouldn't that be even more terrifying?" — the implication being that if this isn't laziness but actual creative judgment, we're in deeper trouble than we thought.
Other commenters pointed out this collab reeks of a last-minute rush job. "They couldn't even be bothered to fix Ram's crab-claw hands or Emilia's feet" — if the basics aren't done, wedding dresses and swimsuits were never on the table. But one player pushed back: rushing isn't an excuse. "Polishing a few illustrations takes two days max. Unless the entire art team quit and someone's teaching themselves Photoshop on the fly."
One user dropped a comparison that really stings: they showed that NIKKE's revenue dwarfs games like Princess Connect (PCR) and Puyo Puyo, yet somehow delivers a lazier collab. "NIKKE makes way more money than PCR and Puyo Puyo combined" — so where did the budget go?
This creates a soul-crushing logic loop: earn more, spend less, deliver worse. A commenter summed it up brutally: "Spend pocket change to milk maximum profit — why bother investing when you can coast? Every time they reveal a new collab character's art, there's a pile of problems. Minimum cost, maximum cash-grab, zero concern for reputation." And to rub salt in the wound, the collab characters are deliberately tuned to be meta-breaking, forcing gacha whales to pull hard.
The comparison with PCR's Re:Zero collab was the real dagger. That collaboration featured the original Re:Zero author personally writing the storyline and character designs that were genuinely bold — wedding dresses, swimsuits, the works. It was dripping with effort.
"No joke, PCR's collab was the most daring in terms of fanservice," one user wrote. Another added: "At least that one showed real sincerity — the original author personally crafted the storyline. This time around, it's a total failure on every level."
Some players found a dark silver lining: "At least Re:Zero fans can rest easy — this collab shows less skin than other collaborations." The sarcasm is palpable: the one upside is that the collab was too lazy to butcher the source material.
Beyond the art quality, players started digging into the deeper motives. "Think about why SU is rushing their IPO" hinted at cost-cutting to make financials look better. Others raised the rumored CN server censorship angle — "Was the rumor about CN server submission regulations actually true?" Meanwhile, another player painted a grim picture: "Battle Pass skins are getting more and more conservative, collabs are getting lazier, and dismemberment features keep getting added."
The anatomy complaints kept piling on: "This body proportion looks seriously off" and "No thigh jiggle, no meat on the legs — hard fail." One particularly scathing comment: "Crab-claw hands that look like a melted blob, broken skeletal framework in poses, laughable skin rendering. The characters aren't lewd or revealing, but Rem's stats are cranked sky-high to bait pulls. Can't beat 'em? That's your 'reward' for playing NIKKE."
All in all, this NIKKE x Re:Zero collab is a comprehensive disaster on every front — butchered art, zero ambition, missing sincerity, and an obvious cash-grab angle. When a multi-billion-yen studio gets outclassed by smaller operations, player rage is entirely justified. Whether SU genuinely can't afford better quality or is simply choosing not to spend the money is a question only their accountants can answer.
