People in ARKNIGHTS itself complain about new characters """""""""""not feeling like Arknights""""""""""". It's a bit of a moot point. The "urban tacticool" look stopped being a priority years ago. Besides, unlike Arknights itself, Endfield at least has the loose excuse of being set on a different planet for a number of years, so culture/tastes can change.

They even made it an in-universe point that there's a whole cult faction obsessed over maintaining the "old ways" from Terra while most people just want to get on with their new lives on Talos
