Why Vittorio
Use nowadays clothes if he is from the XIV century?
Comments

He picks up dead survivors' clothes.
This makes me think. All of his outfits should be torn in someway showing how the fallen survivors died.

Americans and medieval/classical antiquity stuff is always a recipe for disaster, especially anachronisms.
- Zippers (invented in 1851).
- Denim trousers (invented at late XVII century and used for trousers in mid XIX century).
- Motorbike boots.
- Motorbike glove.
- Rockabilly leather jacket.
- Carabiner.
- Belt buckle (while they already existed the ornamented piece was near the loop and frame not obscuring it).
- Tattoos on his chest? It looks like he has some sort of blueish tattoo on his chest and no, just no, in latin medieval Europe tattoos were heavily frowned upon, they were used by the Roman Empire as a mean to tag criminals and associated with the germanic barbarian tribes that put an end to the Western Roman Empire, that carried on into the middle ages and renaissance.
Supposedly this is a depiction of a marriage ceremony and altough the drawing is not super detailed anyone can see their clothes resemble nothing what Vittorio is using, not even the hairstyle. At least they didnt give him purple clothes

It’s pretty obvious they weren’t trying to make him actually look like directly from his actual time period…
edit: look at the hanged human on the new map for example, that one probably is supposed to look like fr that time period

Maybe he picks ones who got a heart attack

Then why pick him from the time period? They could go the Jane/Plague route and just release an unrelated modern guy, you can maintain his lore and make it 1950 instead of 1350 changing minor unimportant details like training in rifles instead of swords and the bodyguard who chained him a war vet instead of a knight, the essence remains the same.
If you select a time period for a character you may make some mistakes or adapt certain stuff to make it more appealing or gameplay reasons, nobody is perfect, this is like giving Plague a frilly dress and patent leather sandals or Oni a three piece suit and a top hat.

I mean Oni has a badass minotaur outfit which has absolutely nothing to do with his time period or region, but its cool as hell and looks amazing so I for one welcome such decisions.
The new survivor isn't even out yet, we'll have plenty of time to understand their decisions with his lore/tome/etc in the future. We can accept or criticize it more accurately later.
1 -
The Oni thing is a bit of a stretch, technically its not even the same person but a different character with the same powers, supposedly greek legends merged with The Entity and spawmed a minotaur or wathever. Even if it was the Oni just changed into something else, two bads dont make a right (plus its an alternate outfit, Vittorio main outfit is what Im criticising, I wouldnt like it even as a cosmetic but if the main outfit was a bit more accurate I wouldnt criticize the cosmetic artistic direction like Im doing with its main).
My main complain is game lore is already abysmal, making these artistic choices in my opinion makes it even worse, it totally dissociates the character from his lore.
5 -
maybe he will get cosmetics from his time period as well?
lore wise, it’s something new and fresh, so I don’t see why they should limit themselves here? People have been asking for survivors from older times and characters wearing stuff they found in the fog isn’t something new at all - it’s sometimes mentioned directly in cosmetic descriptions

People have been asking for survivors from older times
But we got a ~1950/1970 motorbike dude... they completely missed an oportunity for an older time period Survivor.
6 -
You haven’t seen any of his other cosmetics.
and at least he has a very different lore than any of the other playable characters and even more potential here for tome storys.
edit: a survivor that solely has cosmetic options based on a specific era like Medieval Europe wouldn’t sell good at all. Even I understand that - and I am the one often asking for characters that wouldn’t sell good such as older female character, different out-of-beauty-standards bodytypes etc
1 -
And that was their decision to make. Maybe with how evil dead has characters like henry and arthur while the knight's power bears light resemblance to the necromancer as it is, they didn't want to give fuel to comparisons. Let them at least release the character's lore proper before going too hard on your criticism, especially when it revolves around "missed opportunities."

Okay but thats not the basic skin of oni.
3 -
the tatoo looks like some blood through his skin as its pulsing. i think he is immortal.
1 -
and its considered a separate killer. the legendary skins are. dont know if they are canon. but would cool if they were
1 -
I wondered the same thing. The whole "he takes clothes from other survivors" explanation is a bit weak... hopefully he gets some more legitimate renaissance outfits released.
Like, it'd be one thing if the execution had been flawed and some modern design had slipped in there, but they didn't even try to make him look like he's from the 1300s.
4 -
He was picked from that time period, but he has more control and information on the universe than the other survivors, Elodie and Felix being close seconds. He more than likely was able to adapt to the time changes and...you know...put on new clothes?!
The "tattoo's" are not tattoo's. It could be branding from when he activated the relic and brought the fog which put him in the Entity's realm. He could have gained them from the CENTURIES he's been trapped in the Entity's realm for.
It's just clothes, the lore is great, its not that deep.

Amazon prime?

According to his lore and perk descriptions, he's been in the fog for centuries, so he probably interacted with survivors from more advanced times and adopted some of their clothes. If I had to guess, his cosmetics will probably give him a more medieval look. At least I hope, he was a noble and would be a waste to not give him fancy medieval noble cosmetics.
Granted, did they use that excuse to give him more modern clothes? Yeah but it still works lol. People want older survivors from bygone eras, but the cosmetic options would be quite limited. At least Vittorio can get both modern and medieval cosmetics. If Vittorio was a girl, they probably could have gotten away with giving her a lot of renaissance dresses.

What really saddens is they had the chance to do something really different and we still got "generic handsome chic dude". I miss the average looking joes/janes without perfect bodies or clothes like Ace, Nea, Jeff or Jane.
2 -
I can excuse the clothes as being a hodge-podge of other survivors he's encountered in his many years in the fog.
I cannot excuse the buzzcut, though. Like, how? Unless he encountered a barber who somehow had access to electricity, I really don't get how that's possible.
2 -
I almost said they mighta been afraid of the codpiece, but 1. that's 15th century, and two, I have seen how the modeled slinger's 'nude' model. I don't think they'd be scared to model a codpiece
0 -
Yeah, I can certainly understand the clothes thing due to how long he has been in the Fog, but how does his hair look modern?
0 -
I guess they realized making him look like he's from the 1300s would make him look goofy as hell.
1 -
So reading his lore on the wiki, he's not meant to be some random victim plucked out of time for the entities pleasure. He's someone who deliberately entered the entity's realm in the 14th century. He's been in the fog for nearly 700 years. Pretty sure he's entitled to a few wardrobe changes.

in medieval they had sidecut hair though, maybe not as clean as vittorio has but the hair itself would fit. Its the same with those for nowdays fashion VERY weird looking monk hairstyles where they would cut a circle on top of the head and leave the hair around it. "tonsure".
at least they couldve given him a leather armor or a chainmail. but oh well, maybe for future skin versions.
1 -
i mean he coudlve still looked cool while using an outfit that would fit at least our pop culture ideas of how people looked back then. Would i want him to look like that one picture where everybody just wears garb and long socks? no.
but the jeans dont fit either, they couldve choosed some leather armor. Maybe with finger free gloves and a shoulder cape like ezio from assassins creed wears one. Or a simple looking but yet somewhat interesting cloak with hood.
And its not complaining about how bad he looks, his style is cool. Just for being a medieval man i wouldve wished something unique. I have leather jackets and jeans on jake and feng alredy. From all my skins Zarinas AOT one fits more to the time period than vittorios does. Its just a "would nice to be" thing, not that i dislike it super bad. As i said, he does look cool but also like your average survivor.

Yeah, the haircut is probably the less anachronistic thing altough the usual stereotype for higher classes is somewhat longish hair or at least thats what most surviving pictures tend to show, scissors were very rudimentary spring type that dont allow for a lot of precission, most people would just have their partner cut their hair altough a noble or a rich bourgeoisie could probably afford to have a servant dedicated to personal hygiene and able to properly cut/shave hair and facial hair. The shaved side is not that wrong but the top is what makes it "no" for me.
Also a common response Ive been reading in other places is "well vikings used tattos/shaved like that" and while is true vikings did that no latin medieval man would be willing to be associated with vikings, especially high middle ages nobility, they were hated universally because raiding, pillaging and paganism and in the low middle ages they were nothing but a forgotten thing of the past.

well i mean if you look at Game of thrones for example, the haircuts were pretty modern on the men. The female actors had all those long braids which probably needed hours to get done but if you look at the male characters? some really have some long hair but most just dont have it styled, or styled in a way that it doesnt look too out of place. So i dont think we can be to harsh on bhvr about that, what bugs me more really is the outfit.
And yeah well i assume if they cut their hair scissors mostly werent even a thing, they used knifes. For the tatoos though, since they are glowing i imagine its something magical about it, which fits his lore. I mean the Knight also was able to kill as much people as the oni did probably when both of them in reality wouldve just died young. A warrior getting old, thats very unlikely when getting old at all was unlikely anyway with the lack of hygiene, laws and base medical knowledge. So im not too focused on that. I just wish they had choosen some leather armor at least. Simillar to this one:

Future outfits don't matter. The base outfit was my first impression of the dude and I thought Vittorio was a completely different survivor at first because he didn't look like what the devs described him to be from.
1 -
But the most important aspect is that he has been in the Entity’s realm for so long - not that he is from medieval time? At least that’s what I get from this character.
this outfit doesn’t seem like an ordinary one from the 1950s or whatever as well, especially with those ‚tattoos‘ it gives a different touch..
0 -
According to lore he's been there for centuries so probably got clothes and a haircut during that time
