I wish this game had transmog so badly. I think a lot of the higher level armors are way too flashy and ugly but they have the best stats so i have to use them
@@Michaellearnsart i dont want to wear costumes though, i like the gear sets and i want to use them, but most of the legendary sets look awful in comparison to their earlier level counterparts
@@friccle_ I noticed this as well. Legendary Phantom looks like ass. Actually most sets above improved start to look overdesigned. My favorite ones were the tailored Sans-Cullotes and Napoleonic coats. Legendary Napolileonic has the stupid plate and Master-legendary Sans-Cullotes coats are made mostly of leather and don't match the majority of hood.
If ever they bring Co-Op back (and thus also bringing back the gear system) that they remember that they've had a transmog system in previous games so that we can select gear that fits our play style and then also make it look like we want with the different styles avaliable.
From my understanding, the stripes on the trousers of the Sans-culotte outfits are actually important: They were a visual sign of the patriotism of the people during that period, since by wearing striped trousers like those, they were rejecting the clothing fashion of the aristocrats at the time (which consisted of breeches) by wearing the clothes associated to the common people: pants (hence why "sans-culotte", used to mock those patriots, as "culotte" is french for breeches and "sans" means "without"). The stripes were also to symbolize that intention of deliberatly choosing to wear the pants as a patriotic act. So the fact that Arno's trousers get more significant stripes as the set becomes more "legendary" is just a nice touch, showing an evolving defiance toward the aristocracy and a greater connection to the patriots' cause, just like I would imagine a real sans-culotte would do during this period. It's a good costume for role-playing as a french revolutionary, basicaly... and that's thanks to the stripes XD
No wonder why the set has the highest stealth stats, you're basically blending in with the revolutionaries so it makes it harder for the templar extremists to figure you out. But still that would not explain why the phantom set would have the second highest stealth stat as it clearly shows your allegiance with the nobles
@@dan_cheni think the phantom set is supposed to be the mysterious person at a noble party with mask and all. Giving it higher social stealth. Only problem is that every person would want to get to know the human peacock sliding through the crowd. Every extremist, guard, worker and noble would remember someone wearing that, nugding their partner saying "get a load of this guy" in french. But ezio was like that imo his drip is not ugly enough for any peasant with half their brain remaining to not supply a detailed description to any guard, let alone not staring at Ezio the entire time preventing him from doing anything illegal.
@@annointedbytalos5673 exactly, even with the mask you wouldn't be hiding shit with that fit even in a royal ball, the description even says that the set looked better than even the king's drip. If I really want social stealth in noble parties, the master bougoirs set would fit infinitely better
@@dan_chen Well to me the Phantom set looks like it would be worn at a masked ball, therefore blending in with the nobles while having the face hidden. It also gives me an impression of being a rather "theatrical" outfit, like an extravagant costume for an opera play or something of the sort. This would explain, in a way, those "jester-style trousers", which gave me that impression from the beginning. Therefore, I think that the idea behind it being a stealthy outfit could be "hiding in plain sight" but to the extreme, like it would be so extravagant or theatrical that people would just assume that is a performance. So the idea wouldn't be so much that you are discret while doing your things, but more so that nobody would recognize you because of the mask or that by the time they process what just happened and realize it's real and not a performance, you're already gone. Otherwise (and this is purely speculation), this whole idea of an outfit being so theatrical it gives a noble and theatrical vibe like for the opera (to me anyways), as well as the mask and most of all, the name, I would not be surprised if this is a reference to the Phantom of the Opera. Now, I realize that the time period doesn't match, but I imagine that if you're making an AC game set in France and know that you might not have another opportunity like this, you'd try to put as many popular reference as possible (a bit like how you end up climbing the Eiffel Tower even if it doesn't work with the time period of the rest of the game). I don't personnally have the game, so I can't really tell if there are informations contradicting this theory or if the reference would be elsewhere, but this just makes sense to me.
I personally liked the Sans-Cullottes clothes simply because it's the most designated "civilian" outfit you can use that blends well with the poor and rich districts' crowds on account of the first variant being a flairless vest and pants duo. I have a similar view with the french duelist outfit and, dare I say, it's the only outfit that could do the pickaxe hammer weapon justice in the roleplay department.
I def wouldn’t say underrated. As time goes on the game is getting more and more love. This is always what happens. Feel it’d be more accurate to say this game is finally getting its second wind.
@@yukikid2195 well considering origins is the best Ubisoft could do in this new era and every game after it has been total dogshit id say ac unity is still underrated. In the old era people still rate it under ezio trilogy or black flag but in the new era people rate it under origins and some people still rate it below odyssey of all games (odyssey was an objectively awful game)
Some things you missed that are worth mentioning; the Edward outfit is unfortunately NOT perfect, if you look at hidden blades on the bracers you'll notice the textures are horribly bugged and in gameplay and cutscenes the hidden blade itself is invisible (a trait shared with Arno's Fearless Outfit) An issue with Ezio's legacy outfit is the lining of the cape being white instead of red Shay's outfit is also missing the scarf/gas mask which makes Arno's neck look strangely naked. There's an interesting bug with Napoleon's outfit, if you equip it and then equip colors/dyes they will actually alter the saturation of the outfit, this is most noticeable when swapping between white eagle and pure shadow.
When the multiplayer co-op servers eventually shut down if they are smart, they'll make a quick patch that just adds the weapons and armor that are locked strictly to the multiplayer and just unlock them from the onset and make them free for everyone
@ghostwarrior3878 that will negate some of the purpose of playing those missions, the higher leveled mission are for high leveled players so if you can get 5 star or gold rated armor straight off the rip that would destroy the gear progression in the game however, ubishart can make it so you unlock them at 100 percent sync with each mission kinda like the cheats and animus hacks of games prior similar for the handmade phantom outfit and Altairs robes in the helix glitches
@amoz0n yeah, you *can* play them solo, and you also theoretically *can* fight a tiger unarmed and come out alive. I've tried to do those missions solo and they're nearly impossible, I only managed to complete *one* after hours of attempts.
Mr. Willis! Thank you so much for this excellent analysis. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. My favorite outfit is the Master Assassin outfit as it should have appeared on the 6 inch McFarlane figure. Next is Altair’s with Belloch’s as third favorite. Really appreciated your statement of the stripey pants which soooo needed to be said. Bless you for this and all of your previous analyses and studies. You’re the best!
a little insight on the master assassin and belecks outfit. the cords on the shoulder r used in the military and JROTC/ROTC as a way to tell what unit/school your in as well as certain achievements
2:35 To acquire this complete set would be between a cooperative mission, memory sequence and purchase. The Hood is necessary to complete the food chain mission, the Coat would be to finish the memory "The Prophet" during Sequence 5 and the other parts (Bracers, Belt and Breeches) are acquired with money from chests and missions.
The McFarlane outfit is my personal favorite, as I hate 99% of Unity gear and I dont like using Legacy Outfits much so I use it most of the time. Its just peak costume design to me at least in Unity
I've spent countless hours mixing those outfits when the game first came out. Such great memories. It's good to finally see your take on these ones, mate. Keep up the great content. Also, one thing that has always brothered me about most of these sets is the small number of long tailed coats. So many of these outfits would benefit from such treatment. The military ones could have long tails inspired by the guards' designs and the sans-culottes by the spearmen extremists'. It would look quite nice in the Master and Legendary versions.
goated addition to a goated series. keep up the good work man. also, am i the only who notices how weird and messed up the hidden blades on Edward’s outfit look?
If i remember correctly, my endgame set up was the Legendary Prowler Hood, Legendary Medieval Chest, Legendary Military Belt, Legendary Brigand Bracer, and I honestly completely forgot what I used for the boots, I think it was either Prowler, Napoleonic, or Brigand, I might's swapped them out depending on what type of mission i was doing.
Arno's Fearless Outfit seems suited for after Arno left the brotherhood. When Elise had to convince him to return to Paris, after being the Town drunk. Shows his disheveled headspace.
It breaks my heart to say you don’t like the striped leggings when I was young growing up and saw the ass ass ass assassin’s creed brotherhood cinematic seeing the assassin with striped pants and a mace was my favourite and I really do like the access material on the hood of Sans-whatever and historically it does match up. They use that extra piece to wrap around their face when it was cold.
Love this series man. Syndicate certainly has some *interesting robes*. I’m slightly disappointed by the lack of legacy outfits, although it was nice to see Aveline get a shout. The RPG era will certainly be a lot. I certainly don’t envy you! Will Chronicles get a video? I know there aren’t many, but they generally don’t receive invites to any sort of ranking lists.
I intend to make a deep dive on the chronicles games at some point but I don’t think there’s enough outfits to warrant a video, also the 2.5D style makes the outfits difficult to see.
I go for the best gear (in my opinion, based on the numbers) in terms of ability and boost stats, also considering a balanced playstyle, which is the following: Legendary Napoleonic Hood Legendary Medieval Coat Legendary Phantom Bracers Legendary Medieval Belt Legendary Prowler Breeches This gives the best stats in the most balanced way, in my opinion. Without an outfit to cover it, it looks terrible. So I go with Thomas de Carneillon's outfit, which I love as it's a nice adaptation of altair's outfit, feeling very AC-ish with a nice Unity style to it with the navy blue and brown colour scheme. That, and it's an outfit that actually requires some skill to get, unlike most others. If I didn't choose this one, it'd be altairs, for the nostalgia and again because it requires skill to unlock it.
It’s so baffling to me that the master version of the phantom hood is so much better than the legendary. At times I always thought they must’ve mixed it up.
I absolutely loved the Raider outfit. it was my favourite. But it I felt like it would have been a lot better if it gave him the beard, he had in the trailer. The other bad thing about it was that you didn't get it right at the start of the DLC, because I would have enjoyed the DLC much more if I could wear the outfit he was supposed to wear, instead of getting it halfway through the story.
I guess the feather of the musketeer hood is because the original feather in the hat of the real musketeers. Like, "you cant wear the cool hat, but take the feather instead". Anyway i love that oufit
I allways wore most of the legendary Napoleonic set, with the legendary military belt. it is a shame that the Transmorg system from Oddysey wasn't included yet. My favourite belt design is the regular Napoleonic belt, but it gives little-to-no supplies compared to the Legendary belts.
15:21 the brigand coats are actually my favorites, especially the master version. I often use the master and legendary version for the stats and they go so well with the heavy weapons like the claymores and the guillotine guns, which all of them are my favorites too. Get a nice looking pair of pants and hood then you got yourself a brawler-esque looking fit
As for me, I've personally liked only 1 gear outfit in Assassin's Creed Unity, and it was the legendary Medieval gear set. I can overlook all the design flaws because of the boosts that you get from it. Especially if you upgrade all 5 pieces.
The trailer and concept art of the raider outfit would’ve looked much better than the in-game one. I thought the mask looked awesome and the cloak around the one arm looked much nicer than an odd cape.
Maybe I'm mistaken but it looks like you don't know the purpose of the iron mask, it probably comes from a day when a high ranked military guy put an iron mask on a prisoner to make everyone think he captured a very important person. From that point, everyone started to wonder and theorise on who was this person with the iron mask. They thought it was impossible to remove the mask. Most theories and legends said it was related to the king, Louis XIV, the Sun King. It was said it's his brother, and he emprisoned him so that he can take the trhone. Some also said it was his son, but he was a shame for him so he decided to hide his existence from the world. Other said the king's wife cheated on him with this man, so as a punishment, the King put an iron mask on the man. I was really young when I first saw a documentary about the man with the iron mask, the iconography of this mask and the settings terrified me
6:29 the flapping problem is caused by the shitty physics engine that only works properly at 30 fps. You either have to lock the fps to 30 or install a mod to make it work at 60 fps then lock it at 60
I don't like Unity as a game at all, but I think the costumes are the best in the entire series. They incorporate the actual fashion of the era (frock coats, military garb, etc), but manage to mix it up really well with Assassin aesthetic. As much as I love Ezio's robes, they look nothing like something anyone would have worn during the period. Syndicate goes too far in the other direction - they stay too close to the real life fashion and it feels less 'AC' because of it. Unity's costume design is the perfect marriage between historical and fantasy, imo.
You must not be in touch with the community if you think the Brotherhood outfit is "nobody's favorite". It's been brought back countless times for a reason.
This is the only AC game that allows me to be a fashionable assassin, lol I usually mixed math his outfits and boom arno has assassin drip outfits and rizz
There’s a mod that adds new physics to the hood and cape along with the mask to make it resemble that look from the trailer that you should check out, massive improvement
Honestly my favourite outfit is Arno’s standard outfit (gear version) but all the others are just too stylish for a man who is meant to kill targets without being noticed, and I like the gear version because I can change its colour. It has low stats but I just try to overcome it
I find it so weird you say they should add stuff and colours and etc to some outfits so they are more striking but that’s like the complete opposite of an assassin, you shouldn’t stand out😂 you should blend in
i use a mix of the Legendary Phantom n Musketeer sets n Im probably one of the only few to do that. Colour:Peaceful Tales Hood:Legendary Musketeer Coat:Legendary Phantom Forearms:Legendary Phantom (I am planning on getting the Legendary military one tho) Waist:Legendary Phantom(I am planning on getting the Legendary Musketeer one tho) Legs:Legendary Phantom
I wish arno had his own leg gear as much to fit character always i prefer instead of others leg gear i equiped P.s. previously i had prowler cape on leg military shirt and belt it looked fine but with sans cluoletes it looked dope best
9:30 its not medieval, thats literally a cuirass made to stop bullets, there's a lot of lore in uniforms and weaponary after the medieval age, I think I would never allow you to design characters of any ages but modern times 😢
The problems here is that high level outfits are too rich and coloured for an operative assassin. The best in term of coolness and praticality are the tailored arno outfit and the fearless outfit
7:20 those aren't trousers, are pants, the main prupose of that outfit is to represent the low-class workers who can't afford nobel robes like breeches (culotes) (Sans = Without, Culottes = Breeches)
Sorry for bother, 1) you had the napoleonic set wrong you put it 2,1,3 instead of 1,2,3. 2) what you were saying around the 19:30 mark arnos master outfit perfectly encapsulates what he was witnesssing during this time, the thriving upperclass (the kings, lords, nobility and such) heavily opressing the the uprising lowerclass(the peasants, searfs, people like me and you, jokes) Also its pronoused san-c_uuu_ lotte with a heavy emphasis on the you sound in the middle and you got close on bougeois its borgewah (or at least thats how i pronounce it) not meant as disrespect just help in the least passive aggression yt comments allow
Ah yes, Shay's outfit. Wearing your father's killer outfit really set the tone
I wish this game had transmog so badly. I think a lot of the higher level armors are way too flashy and ugly but they have the best stats so i have to use them
You can equip the legacy outfit like Altair or Ezio

6:29 the flapping problem is caused by the shitty physics engine that only works properly at 30 fps. You either have to lock the fps to 30 or install a mod to make it work at 60 fps then lock it at 60
In my opinion Thomas de carnillion 's outfit is easier to get than altair's outfit 😂
I don't like Unity as a game at all, but I think the costumes are the best in the entire series. They incorporate the actual fashion of the era (frock coats, military garb, etc), but manage to mix it up really well with Assassin aesthetic.
As much as I love Ezio's robes, they look nothing like something anyone would have worn during the period. Syndicate goes too far in the other direction - they stay too close to the real life fashion and it feels less 'AC' because of it.
Unity's costume design is the perfect marriage between historical and fantasy, imo.
the musketeer set is my favorite played the whole game with that outfit the first outfit
Unity is one of the best assassins creed games beside brotherhood and 3
You must not be in touch with the community if you think the Brotherhood outfit is "nobody's favorite". It's been brought back countless times for a reason.
@@KhaosKontroller I for one actually got sick of it by the time I played black flag
I wish if Ubisoft dose a remaster or remake for Unity that they use the outfit that is in the trailers. Just make it as an outfit like the others
This is the only AC game that allows me to be a fashionable assassin, lol I usually mixed math his outfits and boom arno has assassin drip outfits and rizz
53:20 disagree. the hidden blades are glitched and pop out of arno's elbows
I actually hate how the higher tier outfits don’t have the lower robe part like Arno’s main outfit, such a waste.
Why the dead king's outfit look better in the dlc trailer
There’s a mod that adds new physics to the hood and cape along with the mask to make it resemble that look from the trailer that you should check out, massive improvement
Honestly my favourite outfit is Arno’s standard outfit (gear version) but all the others are just too stylish for a man who is meant to kill targets without being noticed, and I like the gear version because I can change its colour. It has low stats but I just try to overcome it
First time here loved the video
My favorite was Thomas’ robes. I think that the way to get it though was way too boring and took a long time.
My favourite outfit is the medieval outfit
My second is thomas outfit
Third is Altair
Fourth is sans coulett
Fifth is master assassin's outfit
My favorite is Altair or Edwards
I prefer the simple look of Altiar's robes
and Edward just looks cool
I find it so weird you say they should add stuff and colours and etc to some outfits so they are more striking but that’s like the complete opposite of an assassin, you shouldn’t stand out😂 you should blend in
i use a mix of the Legendary Phantom n Musketeer sets n Im probably one of the only few to do that.
Colour:Peaceful Tales
Hood:Legendary Musketeer
Coat:Legendary Phantom
Forearms:Legendary Phantom (I am planning on getting the Legendary military one tho)
Waist:Legendary Phantom(I am planning on getting the Legendary Musketeer one tho)
Legs:Legendary Phantom
Wait, this was uploaded 2 weeks ago?
I literally just started my first playthrough like a week ago
The prowler set is so fucking sexy tbh
The one with the curiass is my favorite
I wish arno had his own leg gear as much to fit character always i prefer instead of others leg gear i equiped
P.s. previously i had prowler cape on leg military shirt and belt it looked fine but with sans cluoletes it looked dope best
Legendary Musketeers outfit is my favorite
I love master arno outfit it's my favorite it really screams arno
How do u get the French duelist outfit
It’s available in the Secrets of the Revolution pack which I think is available in the store?
@@willismakesmovies I’m on pc and I couldn’t find it but I deleted ac unity anyways since I finished it for the 3rd time
Great video and Ilove your accent man! Are you Scottish?
close! I’m from the north east of england
9:30 its not medieval, thats literally a cuirass made to stop bullets, there's a lot of lore in uniforms and weaponary after the medieval age, I think I would never allow you to design characters of any ages but modern times 😢
The problems here is that high level outfits are too rich and coloured for an operative assassin. The best in term of coolness and praticality are the tailored arno outfit and the fearless outfit
7:20 those aren't trousers, are pants, the main prupose of that outfit is to represent the low-class workers who can't afford nobel robes like breeches (culotes) (Sans = Without, Culottes = Breeches)
Anyone know how to get the Altair outfit now? I can’t find anything accurate online
I like when you say trousers
Whats with the audio quirk at 22:46?
great video. great game
17:03 what outfit combo is that it looks nice
"Oh god here we go"
16:17 yup from my understanding it’s about right. Bor-zhwa
29:23 why da heck he would use THICK LEATHER, Is just a normal Coat with Templar motifs
Man is making fun of French accents when he talks the way he does, menace 😂
Thanks!
Hey pls make outfit video on AC Mirage
I will once I’ve done the others!!
@@willismakesmovies thanks

@@SteadfastINFJ It’s by RETROFAZE check it out here th-cam.com/video/Q0ODDL-XIz0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FGL4HaV8fJQMOdpj
what just happened to arno's right hand? XD 31:26
love em
Sorry for bother,
1) you had the napoleonic set wrong you put it 2,1,3 instead of 1,2,3.
2) what you were saying around the 19:30 mark arnos master outfit perfectly encapsulates what he was witnesssing during this time, the thriving upperclass (the kings, lords, nobility and such) heavily opressing the the uprising lowerclass(the peasants, searfs, people like me and you, jokes)
Also its pronoused san-c_uuu_ lotte with a heavy emphasis on the you sound in the middle and you got close on bougeois its borgewah (or at least thats how i pronounce it) not meant as disrespect just help in the least passive aggression yt comments allow
@@theguvnor1171Oh no I appreciate it really! Can’t get better if I’m not aware of the errors so thank you ◡̈
Any without coattails: F tier
16:17 yes your pronunciation is good
I love how terribly you say the French words, you're just making obnoxious noises and it's friggin hilarious🤣😂
what up with the ai upscaling. it looks like shit
Hate stripey trousers? You, sir, have no taste.
Most of the colour schemes are dreadful so it's good we're not including them
Yeah they really should have included a colour slider instead of set colour schemes lol
Connor is overrated
Thanks!
Thanks!
