The most important game mechanic inInfinity Nikkicomes from the use of special clothing sets known as ability outfits, which are how Nikki gains certain powers to progress through the game. While most of these are fairly typical things, such as catching bugs, fishing, or the game’s form of combat known as purification, there are some other abilities that are a bit more unusual. These are not all received well by the community, although many are grateful for the variety that they can represent in mixing things up for the game.
One of these abilities thatstruggle to capture the hearts of players is the Symphony of Strings outfit, also known as the violin outfit. As shared by Reddit usermaebyrutherford, Nikki’s attempts at playing the violin do not come across in a beautiful representation of music, but more like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Many other people commented on the post with shared feelings of disgust for theoutfit not working well. Several of them feel that the ability could have been much better ifInfinity Nikkihad at least had the song play after Nikki’s attempts at the minigame to hit the correct notes were over, and perhaps if it simply sounded better overall.
The Violin Is A Hit Or Miss For Infinity Nikki Fans
And Apparently Is Hated By Players' Cats
When Nikki wears the Symphony of Strings outfit, she can enter aminigame where players must hit the correct buttons in the right order to play a short tune on the violin. The minigame does not sound like a beautiful symphony being played, however, and it is a wonder that the NPCs seem to all be calmed and relaxed by this version of music that Nikki evidently creates. Or, asbbqweaselsuggests, “My headcanon is that they are all lying so that she’d stop. I’m all cured now! You can go (please).”
Infinity Nikki Fan Digs Up What Could Be Upcoming Ability Outfits From The Debut Trailer
Infinity Nikki’s ability outfits make the game a lot of fun, and if the original trailer is right, there may be even more that haven’t come out yet.
Perhaps most interesting in the comments on this Reddit post are how many people agreed that their cats seem to get irritated or run away, hating the sounds that come from the game when Nikki is playing her violin.Apparently, this violin is offensive to real-world cats, despite the ability outfit being introduced in the game as a way to calm down a cat.
Our Take: Some Abilities In Infinity Nikki Are A Hot Topic
With This Many Ability Outfits, Everyone Is Bound To Have A Favorite
As a person who struggles with Raynaud’s syndrome and arthritis, the violin outfit can be a challenge accompanied by a bit of a disappointment for me. I find that I have to take the songs very slowly in order to complete the quests, and, as commenters such asCesil-Rapturemention in the thread,the game does not play the song after the minigame is done.
The variety of ability outfits in the game has come with a variety of opinions from players, however.Attempting to rank the ability outfitscan be hard to do with people each having different favorites, and often having some strong thoughts on them. Ultimately, most players tend to agree that the Symphony of Strings violin ability outfit needs some adjusting, as it has the potential to be a fun minigame and musical connection inInfinity Nikki.
