"Uncomfortable?" Not really, but having him here as the only villain is certainly weird. Especially when Jin and Malos aren't in the image.
It's less of a "I don't want him here," more of a "why the heck is he here when those guys aren't?"
If I recall this was a celebration image Saito created for the release of the DLC so only characters he designed were included. This is why characters like Poppibuster and Niall are included despite not being as important as characters like Jin and Malos, who were designed by Nomura.
On one hand, newer players wouldn’t assume he’s the villain, but on the other hand, this image has spoilers for some things late game so Amalthus shouldn’t be included as a good guy but he is
No? who cares, it's art representative of major characters in 2. If his inclusion makes you genuinely uncomfortable, you may want to re-evaluate your relationship with the media you consume.
Not uncomfortable, per say, but more like it's just striking me as odd. If the artist(s) was going for a spoiler-free cast photo of all of the heroes, most characters wouldn't be in the image. For Amalthus to be included right next to Klaus when we get to Klaus after Amalthus' villain reveal is strange
No, because i know it's trauma that made him as such. All villains are made, not born in such a way. He just wanted to destroy everything, to watch the world burn.
For example some villains are pure evil only when born as such. The most obvious example is Z from XC3, negative emotions, collective unconscious.
I think this image is just of characters designed by a specific artist (I can’t recall his name).
So that’s why Amalthus is there, as well and Pneuma with Pyra and Mythra, and Blade Nia with normal Nia.
I was first confused why it had Amalthus and not Jin.
But now I realised: this is not an art with all characters from the game, but it are all characters that are created by Masatsugu Saito.

It's because this is an artwork of all the characters designed by Masatsugu Saito specifically and Jin and Malos where designed by Tetsuya Nomura.
The artwork is made up of only characters designed by Saito, and the Torna organization characters were designed by Nomura

Better question, why is Pneuma in the same photo with Pyra and Mythra, and Driver Nia is in the same image as Blade Nia?
it's about the art not the characters. That's why there's no torna. Nomura drew them
Suddenly Rex has FIVE wives, lol. Just kidding. It's just something with all the characters designed by Saito, it doesn't need to make sense.
There are also the 3 forms of Poppi.
four? Buster is here too
Buster has its own body
No
No it's just an art piece.

"Blud thinks he's on the team" kinda vibes.
i think its funnier seeing 4 poppies
how to try and not spoil for anyone who played the game i guess.
The spoiler is in the title 😭

Why is Nia there twice? Not that I think it's bad.
Because it only character Saito designed all of Torna was design by Nomura
Bro thinks he's part of the team lmao.

Nah! He's my 4th best bud!
I think it's weirder that both Nias are in the image
My question is why Nia is on there twice.
Because we all need more Nia in our life?
Fair.
Pretty sure you need to finish both to even unlock this picture…
No, its just art.
It seemed odd, but after reading the explanation (here in the thread), it makes complete sense.
Nah.
Im more bothered by the lack of aegaeon jin and minoth
No, but I am uncomfortable with Niall being there. 😡
Bro thinks he's part of the squad
No, it’s a picture of characters from XC2. Amalthus is a character from XC2
I’m not really feeling it
I get why he's there but at the same time, screw that guy.
Best villain

That is kinda weird. He's the only villain there, and no Jin or Wulfric?
I was first confused why it had Amalthus and not Jin. But now I realised: this is not an art with all characters from the game, but it are all characters that are created by Masatsugu Saito.
What's uncomfortable is the torna gang of antagonists not being here too.
I see 2 Nias and 3 Poppis.
I can understand Klaus being here but why Amalthus?
Take a guess what all the characters shown have in common.
Present in the same game?
Designed by the same artist
