Arknights: Endfield 1.3 Character Model Nerfed? Increasingly Modest Clothing Sparks Heated Debate

The same character, but from v1.0 to v1.3, she's wearing progressively more clothing — and players have just caught on.

The OP posted side-by-side screenshots comparing the character model across three versions — 1.0, 1.1, and 1.3. The difference is clear: the lower-body area, which originally featured a revealing triangle-panty design, has been progressively covered up with thicker fabric by v1.3. The OP's question to the devs: 'Are you really listening to feedback?'

The comment section erupted instantly. Some responded with biting sarcasm: 'Isn't more fabric more expensive? More coverage means the devs are generous — what kind of scandal is this?' Others cut straight to the point: 'Sure, they listen to feedback — just don't ask whose feedback they're listening to.'

Some commenters immediately drew parallels to a certain major gacha game's infamous track record, referencing past incidents where character models like Kaeya's butt, Rosaria's chest, and later even Fishnet-Stocking Jean's back were all toned down — implying that post-release 'nerfs' to character designs are nothing new in the Chinese gacha scene.

As for the cause, opinions diverged. One commenter claiming insider knowledge insisted the triangle-panty version was only ever an NPC model, and the playable character always shipped in the current, more modest form. They added that 'triangle underwear on a 3D model is extremely hard to pass content review in China — you'd at least need opaque stockings,' suggesting regulatory pressure rather than a dev-initiated change. Others pushed back, asking why the revealing version was ever shown if compliance was always the plan.

Another commenter went for the jugular with a pointed question: if every gacha game 3D model that featured bare legs with triangle panties also happened to NOT be 'female-friendly,' then who exactly is this change supposed to please?

The post has since been marked as 'archived' (补档), and a related discussion thread allegedly got removed — with one commenter noting 'the thread talking about this next door is already gone.' The atmosphere is tense. This fight over character model censorship in gacha games is far from over.
