Making that kind of shift because she got deluded might be too dark for a kids show, having her being so entertained with it too, their angle of "having to steal so people wont steal" also places a high disbelief in the police and etcetera
Her outfit is kinda garbage, the shorts are the worst. Story-wise she seems fine and is probably the strongest of the group besides the protagonist, at least that was the impression I got from her scenes in the story and her strength in battle. her seductive attacks feel extremely out of place, and the skill I have now "Hip Drop" seems to be her highest damaging ability which involves her booty bumping her enemies rather than attack with her weapon or using martial arts. So I think she is mixed bag, the potential is there but it's muddied with the same old JRPG tropes.Do you think Jade from DQXI is too sexualized?
I usually believe that japanese people like to represent women that are strong and independent in a sexualized way just like Bayonetta (which was designed by a woman btw) but I really don't know what to think about this, I don't think she is like Cindy in FFXV (I hate that design) but I don't think it's over sexualized either.
Was playing some of the Dead Space games again, and holy shit, some of the designs are terrible.
So I have no doubt that these designs are puritanical compared to some of the shit I've seen in this thread, but I came to the realization that I find sexualization way more egregious in a serious setting than in more cartoonish one.
I had similar problems with Kidman in the first Evil Within, where I ended up getting way more weirded out by her having heels more than I have at every bit of fanservice in a Platinum game.
Probably preaching to the choire but I needed to vent.
Hey now, as a pro wrestling fan, I will not hear of talk against the hip drop.
In game her design reads as a mini skirt with stockings, and looks really at odds with the grimy, industrial look of the rest of the game.
I just can't stand the animation style at all, the same reason I can't watch that new Spider-verse film because it's ugly and looks super budget. The original CS has better animation and it's 24 years old :(
Are you being serious? Surely you're not being serious...
The style is the problem, both my partner and I from the trailers alone were pretty appalled. It doesn't look low budget (that comment was meant at the new CS, i've just got flu and a semi working keyboard so realise that last post didn't come out quite as I meant)
Yeah. It's easily the best Spidey film.
I felt the same whay watching the trailers but it looks fantastic on the big screen.
I just rewatched one of the trailers just to make sure I wasn't over exagerating as I haven't paid attention to it since they were on tv. Bits of it look really nice, I love the look of Gwen, then there is...porky pig, an anime girl and some enemies that look like clay or something? It's like a clash of styles :/ Just doesn't work for me.
That's exactly what it is. The plot involves a bunch of various Spider-man universes coming together with varying art styles.
I've read some of it, but I'm not going to go through all of it and shouldn't be expected to in order to contribute dicussion imo.
I'm not sure how one could read the OP and have this take on it, especially since it directly addresses the "no woman can speak for every other woman" issue. To me it reads like someone who is exhausted of educating people on feminism day in and day out.
Shame. The game is a lot of fun and has a lot of charm, but feels stuck in a previous generations for all the good reasons as well as the bad ones :/
Replaying Persona 5 last year reminded me just how poorly the developers treated Ann. This is her pose when she gets knocked down in battle:
I can't find pictures of the other characters' knocked-down poses but I recall most of them being some variation of "sitting on the ground looking dazed".
What annoys me most about P5 is that it had the perfect opportunity to address these issues, and the platform to deliver such an argument to several million players (a percentage of who really need it slammed hard into their face)...but didn't.

It's a bog standard Japanese slapstick "somebody gets knocked out" pose, to be fair. If I remember correctly, Yusuke also uses a similar pose. But yea, in addition to everything that happens to Ann in the game, it doesn't feel great.Replaying Persona 5 last year reminded me just how poorly the developers treated Ann.

And yea, isn't it just great that everyone else instantly love their costume except for Ann and Makoto? Aren't these costumes supposed to be metaphors for self-actualization?I honestly hated it. I felt like they downplayed something terrible and didn't really care about Ann's experience.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT? NEVER HEARD OF IT.
