I understand issues with her costume design being sexualized but I'm not sure what you're getting at with her breast size. What is abnormal or unrealistic about the actual size of her breasts?
Your comment makes it sound like she's PS1 Lara Croft.

Her chest size is massive for her small frame, and it's REALLY noticeable in-game.

Huh. The screen shots I was looking at didnt seem that bad, nor did the official art.
Definitely more noticeable in shots from the side though.
I mean they should let you pick. I would have Richter over Simon in a heart beat for the select screen.
I feel like they're growing the further you get into the pics lol.
But that would mean adding an all new Zelda character. Something Sakurai has seemingly been against for the last 18 years.
Perhaps people can convince Sakurai to play Hyrule Warriors and then have Linkle join Smash.
Solid leggings with this alt at least.
Definitely an improvement, but that belly window has got to go.

When Edelgard sleeps over and doesn't pack a change of clothes
Or from a more recent game:
But yeah I can picture Linkle getting in before Urbosa or Impa.
Meanwhile, here's another fairly recent 18th Century French militant woman design from Japanese media
Holy shit that's a great design. Does the series have a strong grounding in history? I'm super tempted to start reading this and I haven't read any manga since Berserk years ago.
Of course. FByleth is just an alt after all. Weird that people were trying to argue that this counts as a female rep.
Colors can't save a design flawed at its core
Solid leggings with this alt at least.
It isn't weird at all. Like in any other series fandom, it's more acceptable to criticize anything in a game as long as it's not something like the lack of representation.
It's like 5% improved. Still short shorts and belly button showing.
Solid leggings with this alt at least.
Escha is supposed to be 15 and Logy 18 but yeah, her personality was so childish that their character dynamic doesn't change even when she's (an alternate dimensional version of herself) at 11 and Logy is 28 in Atelier Firis. What she says as an 11 year old and as a 15 year old is pretty similar. And Firis still ships them as a "promise when you're older" thing.
... I'm sounding pretty displeased but the version of Escha that I played was pretty subdued on pairing them. I hear they added more of those scenes in the ports but from what I played on the PS3, Escha and Logy could pass as coworkers so I didn't think about that aspect in the moment. It's just expected from male/female costars to have romantic chemistry that drove the initial impression.
Booooo
I had hoped for a split sec that lady Byleth got a better outfit in Smash.
At least Edelgard wasn't chosen.

Someone unironically posted this fan art in the Smash thread:
Does every women character need to make people horny? For a lot of dudes it sure seems so.

I played E&L plus it's like blink and you miss it choice in convos. I mean, it's just weird how immature Escha is compared to Logy lol. The strangest part is how there's a lack of mature women overall in Atelier and mostly kids or teens. I'm just sitting here waiting for the return of another male alchemist in a decade or so now. The main issues are that devs want to calm the fans by making everyone single.
Love how it wasn't enough to sexually objectify the character, they had to call her dumb as well. Ugh
Her boobs are look really weird on her model. Neck down is flat until at the chest area her breasts suddenly juts out at a 90 degree angle. It looks like they stuck dots candy on her chest.
Nearly half a year later, I can't get over her terrible design.
I refused to play as female Byleth until I bought the DLC and put her in a respectable outfit.
FemByleth's design and model will never not be terrible. The next mainline game better just have a character creator.
The game might be brilliant but I'm still not going to play it if I have to pay more money to avoid seeing that design in every goddamn scene unless I choose to play as the dude
I always wanted to buy the cosmetic DLC for Mass Effect 2, just to give Jack a shirt. I never did, but damn if it wasn't seared into my mind of it every time I played.
Because, by default Jack wears this all game:
(I am not exaggerating. Though you can unlock an alternative outfit with a vest if you complete her loyalty mission. The DLC is a third outfit.)
I've never understood why Bioware left her in her prison clothes all game, let alone that outfit. Makes zero sense at all.

Yeah reckoning with Jack the character versus the appearance of Jack was maybe the most eye-opening thing for me early in the last decade.I always wanted to buy the cosmetic DLC for Mass Effect 2, just to give Jack a shirt.

Gotta love how any female character in a video game or anime that has normal sized thighs is now stated to have thick ones without a hint of irony.

It was an absolutely terrible design. I changed it as soon as I could. I feel like FemShep got worse in ME3 as well though.
Almost every DLC outfit for femByleth is better than her default.
Her default outfit will always look like she came crawling out of a scraps trash can.
Since you spend most of your time running around, I sometimes forgot what her outfit looked like since it looks fine from behind. Then a cutscene happens and I remember, "oh yeah she's wearing this garbage outfit"
MShep gets a face scan of a model from the first game.
FemShep finally gets a default custom face in the third game, but her looks gets based off a facebook poll and the head model they end up creating was too big for her body and cartoony. I don't see why they bothered if they weren't going to put any effort into it.
Edit: They def changed her body too. Made her butt bigger and hips wider.
I remember her running looking goofy as hell.
I always refered to her as someone who fell into a closet and came out wearing 4 different clashing outfits.
That works too lol
Her outfit has no consistency to it, which bugs me as much as the dumb sexualization.

The bigger butt and hips I think came with smaller arms, right? I may be misremembering but I remember being very annoyed by it as it looked strange.
Besides the obvious, majority of the female characters for Three Houses were far above what we've seen in previous FE games. Even the post time skips designs are fine, for the most part. Catherine's boob plates makes me wish for a proper chest plate; her design is almost perfect.
They are definitely toeing the line with Sothis though.
Byleth's disproportionate bust is nuts, but the Popeye forearms here are blowing my mind. Is this seriously the model from the game? How...For reference, here's Claude's model from Three Houses.
If I'm honest from what I've seen of FE:TH it comes across as an indie early access game on Steam in regards to its graphics.
Petra's post timeskip design was a mistake, a really horrible one. Overall, I was happy with the designs for the women minus glaring outliers like Kronya and Cornelia. Also all the boob armor sucked.
Nintendo contracting Koei Tecmo was a real mistake, the game looks and runs like shit. I'd say the characters models are nice but that really only applies from the head up.
