What is this garbage design doing in my Atelier game?
- Thread starter Xaszatm

I agree.
Kind of related, but if you don't want to see sexualised Gust games, don't check Nights of Azure 2.
Why aren't the guys in mini-skirts? Anything goes, so should this. :P
lol I guess this same fantasy realm doesnt have nipples either (there seems to be some sort of scar or bruise where his nipple ought to be though)
Shame Balthier didnt join Fran and wear a bunny thong.
My Gf Loves that game.
I don't know how she decided to buy it, maybe a demo or something, but she got into it at one point and just couldn't stop haha.
I really liked Hidari's character designs in general. I think that's part of why I had a positive impression of FE:Echoes, among other reasons. So superficial haha.
FE:3H was Chinatsu Kurahana and while I've come around to the designs, it felt like a downgrade when they revealed it.
Lmao true.
Not many people actually play the series on era. Whenever it comes up it's always "is this series actually good?", "I was interested in this but don't know when I'll get to it" and "I'll wait for a sale." *Siiigh*
Homura is the main character and she is pretty bad in that front too. It's a female character model with 2 spheres attached to her chest.
Oh yes, i not saying that the series was devoid of fanservice, in Arland series we had a lot of Yuri-bait, (nothing against the yuri, the problem is the series use them only for fan service)
And in totori we had the famous octupus scene...
Annnd lets not forget the usual swimsuit scene and DLC.
When Gust was bought the Dusk series already were in development. So i think Koei push became stronger in the mysterious trilogy.
But i'm not putting all the blame on Koei, is just that like any other company they want more sales, and sadly the market has spoken in Japan
But i mentioned the dusk series because they are the tamest in fan service and you can see that Gust tried to do a bigger story (the world dying). And i think outside this one character (that is one of the least important ones) all girls are pretty reasonably dressed.
TBF, the "Mysterious" trilogy was pretty damn disappointing. I'm happy the Dusk Trilogy is getting a rerelease, since it was definitely one of the better series'.
But even with that in mind, I've had a mild (but always there) love for the series, but I'm not gonna pretend every game is AMAZING and that most of these titles could really do with an extra month or two of polish to make them really stand out (sadly I don't think that fits into Gust's rather....tight budgeting for these games). --- Basically it's a shame the 'Plus" versions arent there from the get-go. :/
This is really a title of acquired tastes and has even grown pretty divisive with fans of the series as its gone on (some upset they never re-treated the heavy-RPG style of Iris, or eventually eliminating time constraints, etc.)
Its true!
Dont know why i changed the names, must be because of the many hours spent on Reddit talking about 3H
Edited, thanks!
Atelier artwork peaked with Hidari, it is known. Everything after looks so supbar by comparison, including Mel Kishida's second go (it feels like his style has gotten worse over the years).

Oh shit, wow XD, that shit looks like a stretched magazine scan! Is it really like that in the game?
Japan rediscovering their love for thick women XD

At first I was like wow, this stupid half assed monocle is lame af, and then realized all the fuss here is probably about tits. What does non infected series look like, for science?am I going to have to deal with perverted fanservice infecting another game series designed for women to the point where they feel alienated!?!
Because I'm not being "fair" without these images:
Fire Emblem has actually gotten a lot less fanservicy with Three Houses. It cut out dating almost entirely and the character designs are much tamer than what was in Fates. It's actually gotten to the point where it went from near-Ecchi levels to almost unrecognizable.
It's funny and kind of sad because I'm actually more interested in this Atelier than I have been for the other's because of the gameplay changes (I actually plan on getting it despite no dubs and on switch no less!), but the, what I deem, improvements to the core game are definitely gonna be marred by this shift into rather overt fanservice.
Even before seeing this character, I remember watching one of the classic japanese game streams and the devs/pr people playing the game were running with the camera zoomed in on Ryza's butt when she ran and the whole time I was thinking 'Wow, that's a bad FOV. I hope you can turn that up or something' and, naturally, you can, by quite a bit too.
They clearly know what they're doing here. As much as I'm not personally against it from a horny gamerboi perspective, the non-degenerate side of me totally gets why this super sucks. Atelier is one of the closest 'clean' rpgs out there with any semblance of quality and 'prestige', so seeing yet another series start/continue down this path blows. I know some girls who'll like it, but there's an abundance of these out there for that.
That said though:

Damn boy, She THICK!

UM. Where?
(besides her tits and ass)
Oh, I thought all women got fat in only their chest and derriere! /s
In the far flung future archaeologists will unearth a copy of this game and assume she was some kind of fertility goddess.
historians looking over twitter threads: She appears to have been regularly worshipped in the public fora of the time
where's her waist is the real questionUM. Where?
(besides her tits and ass)
I remember wanting to get into the Atelier games when I thought it was just a cute, whimsical series about running a shop. Then I saw some of the character designs and DLC outfits and noped the fuck out.
The thread title is still funny to me.
That there are people arguing that Atelier is supposed to be pure/oriented towards actual girls.. I can't.

This just looks dumb and like someone genuinely made a mistake creating the 3D model. Even the concept art of that character doesn't look as ridiculous as she does in-game.
I don't know about supposed to be per se but it's still pretty fucked that the series has progressed down a dark path to full creep bait when there's so many other series that do the same thing and never had any higher level of pretension.
Honestly the fact that this is a worse design than most of the Neptunia games is saying something, because those have always been fetishy.
I am buying the game just for the character designs lol. Ryza has been crazy popular here in japan.
I got Xeno2 for the same reasons and ended up enjoying the game too.

This is actually a really pleasing design. Maybe it's the artstyle...Fitting in with the rest of the garbo design of the game? The whole thing is derivative anime girl snoozefest, why be surprised.
It's pleasing - good style and coloring. But it is completely ruined by the ridiculous thighs. It feels like a fan mod.
Now that I look at it, she looks like her circulation must be completely cut off. That or her thighs have the same qualities as a pair of water balloons.
It's not like this ingame. Like for every game, concept art is always different.
