In an interview with Famitsu, the event crew for Zenless Zone Zero defined that the dearth of characters who’re Ether Brokers is because of how uncommon the component was within the in-game lore. Additionally they clarify that attributes haven’t any bearing on a selected faction. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
In response to the Zenless Zone Zero improvement crew, they targeted on frequent components when deciding on what attributes they’d put within the recreation. “Ether” is an unique and uncommon attribute that they created particularly for the world of Zenless Zone Zero, which is why they need to watch out of how they deal with Ether Agent characters. Because of this, there aren’t loads of Ether characters within the recreation proper now. Additionally they acknowledged that they’d use participant suggestions and the sport’s efficiency to resolve on how you can additional discover and signify Ether.
Famitsu additionally requested if a faction would seem sooner or later that might specialise in Ether. The event crew replied that whereas much more Ether Brokers will seem sooner or later, they don’t take attribute into consideration when creating characters for a faction. If it looks as if a selected group has loads of Brokers of a selected attribute, that’s doubtless a coincidence greater than the rest.
As of the time of writing, there are twenty-eight playable characters within the recreation (barring the Proxies). Of those characters, solely three use the Ether attribute: Nicole, Zhu Yuan, and Astra. Within the lore, Hollows produce loads of Ether, they usually can corrupt beings and rework them into Ethereals with out ample safety. The importance of them having the Ether attribute could seem within the story afterward.
