TYBW was a complete mess! This is the first time I didn't like anything design wise from Kubo. When I read the manga chapter with HOS reveal, I was like "Wow, that looks like fucking dogshit."
All the quincies had horrible designs, the fights were boring, the powers were terrible, everything about that last arc was a failure. Kubo's strongest ability is his designs, and when he loses that then you know the guy lost it.
It looks better in the game, but that's not saying much when it took years to get used to it.
