In Lann and Belengar's eyes, the local armor designs of the New Continent were basically "way too flashy, all about visuals."
But it wasn't that the craftsmen were deliberately going for gaudy; it was an aesthetic that had naturally been cultivated in this environment.
The goal of the New Continent Expedition Team was to uncover the secrets of the New Continent's ecology; they were constantly competing and cooperating with the countless monsters that lived here.
Monster materials were extremely important resources in this world, practically one of the pillars of local materials science.
Like the captain of the Second Expedition Team: when it came to controlling the properties of steel, he was slightly lacking, something Belengar spotted at a glance.
But if you were talking about how to properly process and use biological materials, there really was no one more professional than him.
As a craftsman in this world, you had to be good at using monster materials.
