If you wanna see a good approximation of that in a game, look up beta gameplay videos of Mount & Blade II Bannerlord. They have three pre-set characters and one of them looks to be a sort of Turkik or Central Asian-style heroine.

The only way those shorts work is if they're two adhesive strips. Not fun to take off, I bet.

that's a shame since I saw a lot of cool fanart and now I'm like why do ppl even care about him.

Apparently if he's not dating a women who isn't interested in his crest or his nobility, he can turn out some decent supports. His support with Bernadetta is more genuine praise for her writing than flirting for instance. Then there's his one with F!Byleth where he outright says he hates the women he dates because they have to be shallow for dating him, that's why he's justified in dropping them and cheating on them when its convinient.

I've mentioned it before, but his supports with Flayn are about hitting on her. If you've seen Flayn you know the problem there!

Ouch, not sure how I hoped he'd improve but not like this.

Eh he still says stupid ass shit well into the later supports, I have no idea why people think he has a more meaningful turn in the second half... They must have a low bar for what passes as decent.

They had a good idea for his motives but they botched it by having to fill a womanizer trope check box. In a game with so many actual good characters he stands out like a sore thumb.

Manuela's support with him is bad all around!

In the early ones Manuela wonders if she should bone and marry her sexy student, Sylvain. By the end she decides no, she doesn't want to marry him because he's too much of a cad. Perfectly normal teacher thoughts, Nintendo.

Been playing through Gears 5 and I immediately fell in love with Lizzie Carmine, niece of Clayton Carmine. She's just cool and badass without the game having to qualify it.

So it's really unfortunate that

She dies in the first act just so JD can develop as a character.

It's separate from her design but I feel like they went a little too hard on the "badass entrance" to try to ingratiate you to her. Especially when the rest of the game (at least so far) is unendingly bleak and grim.

She's a Carmine.
There is no other fate.
Clayton is in the game; he lived at the end of 3. In fact I think this was based on the better selling of two different t-shirts for Xbox avatars for charity, one that said "KILL CARMINE" and the other "SAVE CARMINE" or something to that effect.

Well now I know all about what happens to Carmine without having to click any spoiler tags lol

Don't worry, I would have guessed her fate the moment I saw her introduced anyway

If it helps, player characters can wear them too. That said she gets a new outfit later that i love. Ff14 is actually pretty great when it comes to outfits. With only a couple misses i can think of.

I didn't really mind that part since it fits the rest of the series. Like Cole Train is shouting cocky lines 24/7 and Clayton Carmine was introduced as a badass in 3 despite the bleakness of that story.

Watching the most recent FFVIIR gameplay and realized Jessie in the original must have actually
died from horrific boob plate-induced death. I think it can be described as some kind of industrial sculpture.

So, on the plus side I am actually impressed that Three Houses DLC did not go in the fanservice skimpy clothing DLC.

...on the other hand, I did not know Koei Tecmo loved Basketball teams so much

Some people find his later ones better but I can't stand the guy.
I believe he acts this way because he thinks that women are only after his bloodline.
However, later he discovers that he was wrong all along and that's when he becomes a more likeable character. Personally him and Raphael are my favorite male characters in the game.

Yeah, the red dress isn't that much better:

Her storyline in SB is kind of the bigger problem, imo, but that's been ranted about to death.

Ehhh, I really like it. Might not be for everyone, but I thought it looked great.

To each their own. I think it doesn't really suit Lyse or her job. There's a reason why people thought this look was a dancer tease back when they first showed us the SB trailer, and I really can't imagine all that flowing fabric around her legs is conducive to actual monk combat. And there's virtually no scenario in which a gratuitous boob window makes sense in my book.

I mean it's a final fantasy game, most of the outfits are not conducive to the jobs. I think at most in ff14 only the tanks and dragoons actually have armor suited for their jobs. With monks, they basically just wear a version of shorts and a tee shirt. Besides, flowing fabric in hand to hand combat isn't actually a new thing. Hell even with some sword play.

But like you said, it's up to an individual person's taste. And for me it's a great outfit.

True, there are plenty of outfits in FFXIV that don't make much sense for what the job actually has your character do. I recall the dragoon artifact gear where only female characters had an exposed midriff for some nonsensical reason, for example.

You're free to like her outfit, of course. All I'm saying is that, to me, it has problems. Honestly, the boob window bothers me more than the rest of it because, like all boob windows, it's just pointless sexualization.

Oh yeah that dragoon armor. that annoyed me to no end. Glad that they didn't do something like that with the heavensward armor.

It bugs me that her first name doesn't begin with a D. Did they already have the D-K Carmines in Gears 4?
