Hey, Daily Quest readers.
It feels like just yesterday we were rallying against AI turning games into soulless husks, but it seems the "parasite" has found a new host. From Larian’s controversial use of AI to Clair Obscur losing awards due to transparency issues, the gaming community is watching this technology like a hawk. Well, the latest fallout is here, and Arknights: Endfield is currently bleeding from a massive controversy. We’re talking about character art that looks like a nightmare, specifically fingers that just aren’t there. In this post, we break down why the "extra finger" glitch is a huge red flag for this upcoming title and why the community is rightfully furious.
The Fingers Are Pointing to a Lazy Art Department
If you follow leaks, you know that spotting AI-generated art is usually as easy as counting fingers. We saw it in Black Ops 6, and now Arknights: Endfield is doubling down on the weirdity.
The drama started on the Arknights subreddit when user Advanced_Ad5867 pointed out a piece of art featuring a character named Qianyu. She has six fingers on her right hand. It’s a classic AI hallucination—a failure to grasp basic human anatomy. But here is where it gets crazy: this wasn't a one-off mistake. The community then found a second character missing a finger entirely. Then, a third character was spotted with only four fingers.
If a human artist made these mistakes, we could chalk it up to a bad day or a rushed sketch. But three distinct, different errors across different characters? That screams "no one checked the art."
Why "Fixable in a Day" is the Real Crime
The response from the community has been swift and brutal. Players didn't just complain; they dissected the situation like detectives. One player summed up the sentiment perfectly, branding the oversight a "huge red flag."
The real kicker? The subreddit noted that correcting these anatomy errors takes less than a day if you have a single employee touching the art up in Photoshop.
Let that sink in. This isn't about high-end 3D modeling or complex coding; it's basic 2D cleanup. To have Arknights: Endfield drop content this sloppy—especially when the IP has such a dedicated following—is a massive slap in the face. The argument is simple: if you aren't willing to fix a missing finger, what else are you cutting corners on?
Our Take: Art Needs Humans
As a gamer who cares deeply about visual storytelling, seeing this kind of sloppiness is honestly skull-shaking. We live in an era where developers are terrified of missing release windows. They push out trailers and showcases before the actual game is ready, and it shows.
When we see fingers on hands or shoes on feet missing, we don't see "cutting-edge tech"; we see "negligence." The fact that fans had to catch this before the launch tells you everything you need to know about the quality control at Hoyoverse (or whoever is handling the art).
This controversy isn't just about looking cool; it's about respect. Arknights fans are angry because they feel like they are paying for a premium product but getting a beta test quality reveal. Unless the devs come out and apologize and fix this immediately, expect the heat to stay turned up.
The Verdict: A WAKE UP CALL
Arknights: Endfield has seemingly stumbled directly into the "AI Detritus" pile. Three different finger errors in one leak is an insane level of incompetence, or an insane level of laziness.
Do you think the community is overreacting, or is this a massive sign that we need to boycott AI in games? Sound off in the comments below! Let's get this discussion started and help Arknights: Endfield see the light of day—or bury it in the dust if they don't fix this.
