[Dragon Quest XI S] Just a random observation, but what's with the too-long belts that are then tied in a knot on so many of the male characters? And not just on the default outfits for PCs, but everywhere?
you'd think in a world that probably has someone who makes garments or works leather or something in every village/town, they could trim their belts to size
That's the thing; the belts are buckled fine, there's just so much extra belt that it's tied in a knot around the rest of the belt to keep it from flopping around weirdly.
Yeah it is a different kind of belt; it looks like that one's designed to be 'fastened' that way. So I guess it's more like combining that sort of belt and a regular belt.
IDK, my brain just keeps going 'one little extra loop of leather around the belt to slide it through would look so much neater' but that may just be me. X3
yeah i suspect it's a deliberate deal combining modern buckles with olden belt lengths particularly since it looks to me that the purpose of such a knot at the end, after the belt is buckled, would be twofold; it would be an extra stopper on the belt, but it would Also shorten the excess length
Ah, that's what it's called! And yeah, that's probably why it looked so odd to me. I kept thinking that just one little loop would make things so much neater-looking.
