Also, we have items that far exceed the year 1500.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

Seeing this upsurge of archers on public servers, we, Byzantium, decided wisely to give up our shields to come back to the SHOGUNATES ERA !

SHOGUNATES ARE BACK ! HOURA !

Except it went more like: The developers started with the native armours (which already included the strange armours), then added a whole bunch of new stuff, leading to people thinking the "setting" is 500-1500 eurasia, while never really increasing the asian selection of armours (quite possibly because there never were any good armour packs that could be added).
Your whole idea of the devs selecting 500-1500 eurasia as a "setting" and then adding asian gear is just completely wrong. Besides, haven't the devs already confirmed they're going to be adding parts of the chinese armour pack?

Also, we have items that far exceed the year 1500.

You two are right, of course. I didn't assume the devs said "now let's make a mod with this and that setting", I know it developed (Grew? Evolved? Spawned? Whatever you like) over time. Still it's the current state of the game: we mostly have items from the 500-1500AD Eurasian settings, and a few exceptions. If they add the Chinese stuff (and I'd like to mention that I supported that vote for adding the stuff!) I will have much less problems with the weeaboo items.
Joker makes a very good point.

@Joker

You just think that there are only 3 not eurasian armors but what is with the worn robe it s showing a japanese garb or the lamellar vests/armor based from chinese armors or nomad vest and steppe

armor are mongolian and from this side
also the black ingame charachter doesnt come from eurasia its an african person (same for yellow man)
so quack there are more

and to your last post
you dislike japanese stuff right now because there are just those asian armors but you will hate it less if they d add chinese stuff
your logic makes no sense

I play Ninja Style on NA servers with a 12/27 build and no loomed items and do fine tbh. Still able to flank since most people give up trying to chase you after a few seconds though its not as easy as it was a year+ ago, however still able to get 1-2 unsuspecting archers in the back of their pack. And tbh regardeing if Katanas are good or not anymore it only really matters on your blocking skill. Katana can still easily beat a more armored long sword, pole arm, shielder etc if you can block. The only thing i have noticed very different from this style then a year+ ago is everyone seems a little faster/i seem a little slower and my wep speed dosen't seem to be as fast as it used to with 160 wpf.

It does.

Imagine a strategy game. You have following races:

- humans
- orcs
- elves
- dwarves
- undead
- space marines

You wouldn't say that space marines fit in well, would you? It's apure fantasy setting, which means that space marines don't fit in there, they are out of place and thus they will annoy you.

But if you add following races as well:

- bug aliens
- interstellar confederation
- martians

You would change the setting. It would be a fantasy planet in a sci-fi universe. Space marines would stop being out of place, and thus stop annoying you.
Joker makes a very good point.

Orcs

Elves

Dwarves

Undead

In a strategic game...

No I think Space marine fit quite well.

Even werewolves/Viking Space marine and vampire one.


But if you really need, I could also find the Martians, the bug aliens and the interstellar confederation

What do you want to say with this? I am playing Warhammer FB/40k as well, but still I was thinking of the fantasy versions of those races. Which doesn't make my point invalid. Or are the western armours somehow kept in Asian style? As long as they are not, there is no point in implying that I could have meant the 40k versions of those races.

Does it fit? No.

In the Warhammer 40K universe? With thousand of world and culture, where a lot of then fall back to middle age (and beyond) technologies? And where this elfe mage is not far away from an archonte eldar with a runic blade?

Let's say yes.

And in fact, since the imperium kill most of the time all non human sentient race on the planet their going to colonize, quite usual, (just too boring to be played). 



Back to the point, CRPG got no background, no story, no timeline, not even sure we could say it's take place on calradia since the map maker make the map like they want.
Only thing we can use to justify something is the stuff, and weeaboos stuff is here since the beginning.

And when a lot of player got their equipment as credible than a WW2 GI with a rapier and a viking shield fighting a caveman with a two handed sword (Maybe a little harsh here ^^). I will say Weeabos are just as credible as the rest.


By the way, western armours somehow kept in Asian style? Mongol Empire, China to Poland, year 1274

You have an interesting way to argue - you first imply that I said something totally different, and then you falsify it.

For example I didn't ask if the high elf mage fits into 40k, I asked if the space marine fits into the WHFB world.

And what does the extend of the Mongol empire has to do with the style of the western armours ingame?

It's not like the full set of black armour looks like this in the game:
