The photoshop looks less photoshopped than the actual one.Im honestly pretty bummed more sites don't call it what it is.
Anyways thought I'd post it here too, but I photoshopped a version of the violet-haired girl from Atelier Ryza to be less....generous
They were fun to do, so yay I can get some photoshop practice with jrpg games. :P
The fanservice in Dragon Quest games has always been off putting to me and it's weird how mainstream the series is in Japan, thus normalizing this. Of course the bigger issue with the series is the creator and SE still working with that nationalist queerphobic composer.On a non-spoiler note, I'm still playing it on PC and if there's one Switch addition I really want to see added it's the "Character Style" option. I had to give up Sylvando's fabulous feathered performer costume for one with better stats. Plus, when you're doing Stronger Monsters every bit of Defence counts and this unfortunately means equipping this on Serena
It's funny how there's no text or anything regarding Serena's reaction wearing this. It's really out of the blue. Now with with XI S you can just dress her up as you see fit.
Won't anyone think of the poor persecuted bewbs! Truly the real victim in all this :(
Why is her arse literally square in the original?Im honestly pretty bummed more sites don't call it what it is. (PS: don't read the comments)

Shoutout to Lazygecko post #219
they'll exist, but for the required by merch law half naked child who is totally legal age because they are half angel, half ancient ones (but thats a spoiler,) and half human that turn into a dragon when sneezed on
Yeah, it's tiring as hell. I think it's why non-progressive voices are so loud on the internet. We get tired and sad seeing their views, whereas they get all fired up with misguided indignation at ours.
agreed. also like, assuming the guy i quoted was acting in good faith, it's not my place to downplay the importance of a woman finding confidence, empowerment or representation in what i consider a pretty crass character design, even if i feel i could point to a billion other examples of big breasted, slim women in games and anime. sigh, stuff is hard.
That's actually a great point and I agree completely! However, the designs who get criticized are, obviously, never of this particular body type, so it's really transparently disingenuous when dudes try dismissing criticism by telling us that Red Monika is just "representation for large-breasted women" 😂
Sadly no, I could find anything that wasn't YouTube poop vids or images of the lack of undershirt.
Oh, I defo agree with this, it's ironic how you see poster's complain about how we are mocking real life body types and being unsupportive when you don't actually get what women with big breasts actually look like in games. Breasts are made of fat, you aren't going to get the rest of the body having hardly any fat on and big breasts, that's just not how bodies work. Which is why I always fiond it funny how you see posters say their wife/girlfriend/friend looks just like that and we are being mean mocking their shape, cus I haven't ever seen proportions like that in real life outside plastic surgery and the honestly the plastic surgery boobs don't tend to be that big cus man that size would kill your back.
I've went and made a clip of the sequence I was talking about plus the set up:
It wasn't meant, it was just another thing I wanted to bring up, I should have made that more clear in my original post, sorry.I'm not really sure how this relates to the Bury Your Gays trope, but I went and looked at that stuff and it seems mostly fine. It happens three times total, and most of it is demonstrated by how much she loves grass pokemon as she's the grass gym leader, and she even takes the time to teach James how to properly take care of his Cacnea, and how to use it's moves better before he gives it to her as a thank you.
Her outfit that she was wearing there is kind of dumb as her undershirt exposes only her stomach, but it's literally the only outfit she's shown in both in the anime and the games :
I don't think she allowed Carnivine to bite her head either, but I always saw that as just a 1:1 comparison with James and how he always has a grass pokemon that bites his head. Some of it's a bit odd, but within the context of how she works with James and teaches him, it all seems fine.
No ones strongest armor is a magic bikini and that's the only piece of "dq esque" armor for Serena. All the sexism in the game armor wise gets heaped onto Jade.
it's getting worse :
IT looks like these 3D hentai game where you can create the characters however you want and can go crazy with the proportions, it's so bad lmao
I won't defend the sexualization, but in regards to the latter. Sylvando in XI is pretty damn great. A veritable middle finger to Sugiyama's homophobia. XIS also has "marriage" options with the male cast (I mean it's more of a domestic partnership living together thing than full fancy marriage, but for a conservative Japanese series, it's an admirable step forward).
That's cute! I appreciate the little touch of the Luminary looking at him affectionately at the end.I won't defend the sexualization, but in regards to the latter.

XIS also has "marriage" options with the male cast (I mean it's more of a domestic partnership living together thing than full fancy marriage, but for a conservative Japanese series, it's an admirable step forward).
Also DQ Rivals (mobile) has this.
And it can be done with Erik too.

Heh, everyone loves Noelle.
It gets bad for the dragons you collect as well. They appear like this

As someone who played it, Mym is unique in being both a dragon unlocked in story and a gatcha roll hero of the "disguise" form due to the story having her turn into a titty lady because she loves in love with the stale white bread main character. There's plenty of actual, good dragons but they are just event awards or gambling roll filler. I personally like Silke, for being a humanlike dragon that's actually interesting.It gets bad for the dragons you collect as well. They appear like this
