No, most of them already are, and have been since 2019, easily. It's mostly Hololive's designers catching up to where everyone else is. Except Nijisanji, who are a weird mix of underdesigned for some designs and overdesigned for others, with very few in between.

Design creep. It started simple and now in order to 1up them they have to make them progressively more and more elaborate.

Considering how vtubing started by embracing the overdesigned character aspect of anime culture, they kind of always have been? While color schemes are kept simple so they're easy to spot in a distance, bundle of accessories and clothes with a lot of layers were always a thing.
The whole point is to have a design on screen with someone's voice coming out, so might as well make it big and flashy, you don't need to animate it for 20+ episodes or draw them 5 times a page anyway.

HoloX seems mostly fine. Chloe and Laplus might be a little overdesigned but not too gacha-y. Iroha's design could have been a Gen 1 or Gen 2 Holo.

Yes, but that creeping up to ever more elaborate designs has been going on for a long while.
Why? Because the easy "low hanging fruit" of simple designs has already been long picked. By that I mean the clear archetypes of striking easy designs that can be explained in very little words.
"She's just a normal jk school girl" or whatever has been done for a few years already, and if you debut with such a simple design now, you don't stick out against the masses of similar competitor (or worse, get compared negatively to the others who did it better before).
Same with "she's just a cat girl", "dog girl", "vampire", "angel", "demon" or whatever else is a common popular trope. That market has already been long grazed and filled. Now, to even have a chance at standing out (or avoid being seen as a copy of an already existing design), you have to go ever more elaborate, complicated, niche or busy.

What helps HoloX is that most of the details on the character models relate to their character archtypes. So Laplus is wearing a power limiter collar and this very chuni outfit all with the dark purple color scheme which is kind of demonic. Chloe looks like a sexy assassin maid with her mask on.....which is pretty much what her character background hints at. The other girls all have outfits that are based around their jobs too, if you consider being a samurai bodyguard a job that is. This approach allows for a very diverse group of characters who also fit together as a unit.

I don't get what the fuss is all about. When I'm looking at a chuuba for hours and hours while she plays vidya and she only get's a new outfit every bloodmoon at best, they should make damn sure she's not boring to look at. They are not frame-by-frame animations. Go wild.

There's 1 fatal flaw nearly all female vtubers fall into, and it's the fact that while men do, women are.
Almost every single male vtuber's lore is about a job. DJ, Cop, Motorcyclist, Super Hero, Duellist, Bartender. Men Do.
Compare that to almost every single female vtuber. Dog girl, Cat girl, Dragon girl, Rabbit girl, Demon girl, Phoenix girl, Shark girl, Fairy girl, Wolf girl. Women Are.
Women on average can't fathom anything other than being, and while Being catches the eye to bring initial interest, Doing is what keeps attention and nets you a captive audience.
And while Being is constantly progressing (or degressing, depending on whether or not cluttered designs appeal to you), Doing is eternal.

Only Iroha doesn't fit the pattern. 1/5, just like Amelia from EN.
That's still 4/5 which rely on Being rather than Doing.

You sound like you have something against fantasy in general then. Because someone of a fantasy race can also have their job emphasized like HoloX does, and Mori's entire schtick is her job as the grim reaper's apprentice. And Ame does the time travel and dimension hopping bullshit so even she doesn't count by your definition of what is relatable to normal people who work for a living.

Don't watch male Vtuber, so it's interesting to me how strong gender roles are on both sides in Vtubing. Even as a PNG, people expect a guy to be productive unless he's an animal. I probably shouldn't be surprised about this at all. It just makes sense.

Eh, Polka was a bit over-the-top as well. Not hating on her, I love funny fennec, but her design sans the personality gave me pause. I agree that council, taken together as a gen, marked a distinct design change in the direction of excessively busy designs, with more details than the streamers can even pretend to make lore out of. HoloX followed up with similar.

I thought this was an interesting topic, so I took a look at what I thought was one of the best of Cover's designs in my opinion, Subaru's grey idol uniform, and contrasted it with her other outfits. hopefully you find it as interesting as I did.

It means the design is too exaggerated to the point where it doesn't look good/makes sense anymore. Look at the new holo id3's water girl for example, what the fuck is that monstrosity of a hair? Could be better with just simple straight

I'll be here waiting for the age where, tired of designs with too much shit slapped together, vtubers will now use the less is more approach. Some real Gold Age heroes inspired shit where the vtubers only have two colors in their palette, and their costumes will make for the the easiest and cheapest cosplays you've ever seen.
