Hmm.

The topic of sexual designs made me think.

I'm somewhere in the middle I guess.

I'm not hugely opposed to them, but I think lines can be crossed. Probably won't be insulted, but I'll think less of the design and perhaps the product if its a constant issue. I mean, I get it. We all like a little eye candy. Let's be honest with ourselves. But if my video game starts to take every possible chance to provide that eye candy, I start to worry.

I suppose what bothers me moreso when it comes how characters are portrayed. I guess I care more for writing and framing at the end of the day.

I mean yeah, Cia from Hyrule Warriors has a silly design (and boobs that don't look natural frankly, boobs don't sit like that), but I still like her because she's a fun villain with a pretty cool breakdown and interesting story. There's also the fact that she's a sexual character all around (which becomes an interesting analysis point once her twist is revealed) so her design feels more justified. Plus she's fun to play. What's also important is that Cia has frames, shots or parts where she isn't just sexual. She's sometimes intimidating, cool and, pitiable at appropriate times of the story.

(I'm okay with Ivy Valentine, who was brought up earlier, for similar reasons.)

Meanwhile, in a lot of generic shonen, you get crap where the demure, shy and traditionally feminine girl has huge bouncing boobs and panty shots at literally every chance they get. That **** really ****ing annoys me. Character becomes almost nothing. Nothing about the narrative or character is enhanced or changed by making her sexualized quite like that. It's just porn.

Also not too okay if the anatomy becomes so grotesque that the sexy design stops being sexy.... It's why Dahlia looks stupid to me.

And what I said about the girls can be mostly applied to guys too.

If we look at guy characters who are mainly meant for fanservice, same stuff mostly applies.

I haven't watched the show but I hear Free is really good at balancing that stuff out.

Sexualization isn't always a bad thing. It's when it becomes the sole or overly defining point of a character or work (that isn't intentionally porn, I guess) that its super terrible. In my opinion at least.

Anyone who named a Frieza race character that wasn't some kinf of cold pun, or a saiyan that wasn't a vegetable should be ashamed of themselves.

Even if its actually fine.

Here's an interesting question for you all.

What's one popular piece of media you've never watched or played but everyone else has?

For me, I've never seen much of DBZ or JoJo.
Oh, boy. Where to even begin?
I guess I could say pretty much ANY anime, but especially DBZ, JJBA, and Naruto. I don't really have much of a reason why I don't watch anime. I guess I just feel like some of that stuff just isn't for me. *shrugs*

As for movies and TV, I could say most of the MCU movies (I've seen the Avengers and GotG, but that's pretty much it), Star Trek, Doctor Who, and probably more stuff than I can even think of.

As for games . . . oh boy. I feel if I just listed off every game I haven't played but it feels like everyone else has, I think Kingdom Hearts 3 would be out by the time I'd be done.

I guess to save a lot of time I could say most M-Rated games. To list specific examples, I'd say Dark Souls, Skyrim (possibly Elder Scrolls in general, but Skyrim is the most popular TES game), and Metal Gear Solid. I would probably say the same for most FPS games. The genre just doesn't seem like my cup of tea, I guess.
As for stuff aside from those, I would say Mega Man, Street Fighter, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, SMT (aside from TMS#FE), Marvel vs. Capcom, Ace Attorney (Although, I do own the first 3 games on my 3DS, but it will be a while before I get to playing it), Professor Layton, Jak and Daxter, the Tales series, and Jet Set Radio.
I guess I could also say most of FF, but I've played a few FF games (and enjoyed them a lot), so I can't say I've never played it.

I'm guessing a lot of you will surprised by my responses.
(I am younger than most people here, so I guess that's a big reason why I have so many answers)

Quick question, what kind of character designs do you guys like?

I tend to prefer it when characters have really readable looks without too many bells and whistles. But I know some others would like complex looking characters.
I don't really think I can just say one thing, because I like a lot of different character designs for different reasons.

I like some absurd designs, I like some really basic designs, and seem designs I like are just cool.

For absurd designs, I've always like the design of Sora from the KH series. He looks silly, but Sora can be a bit silly at times, so I don't mind it.

For basic designs that I really like, I would say that Hector from Fire Emblem is a good example. His armor isn't much more than just armor, but it honestly just works.

For cool designs, three designs that I really like (and all by the same person!) would be Vincent Valentine from FF7, Auron from FF10, and Sho Minamoto from TWEWY. I like these designs because they are just, well, cool, simple as that.

The only thing that I can really think of that I dislike in terms of design is fanservice for the sake of fanservice. I don't mind it if it's at least somewhat conservative or has some sort of justification. I feel like that's kind of what sets a character design like Tifa from, say, Camilla.
Also, I HAVE A COMMAND!

I demand that somebody replace Akihiko on the Persona 3 "Ive been waiting for this" image with this! Cause this is the face of a man "who has been waiting for this"!
I can't believe I'm doing this with the little free time that I have.
But here ya go:)

Also, after the reveal of TWEWY Final Remix yesterday, this pretty much sums it up in a nutshell.
Not that that's even a bad thing anyway

And yes, Joshua actually says this in the game.

It's hard to chart on what factor it is about character designs I like. So I'll keep it simple and say designs that look unique, very detailed and realistic (like realistic armor for example)

Character designers I personally like are Tetsuya Nomura and Shigenori Soejima. I haven't played any of these games but Golden Sun Dark Dawn, Hyrule Warriors and especially Warframe (phenomenal customization) have sick designs. Fire Emblem wise I like Tellius for Tibarn and Fates for Rinkah.

Names for created characters, huh? I like to try to do names that just work with the setting. Like if I'm playing a Japanese character, I like to use Japanese names. Or if I'm playing a fantasy character, I like to see names that would fit with the fantasy setting. If I'm playing a Sci-fi character or say an alien, I like to use names that work with them. And etc etc.
I mean, there are times when I do use normal names. But that also depends on if I feel the setting can accept a simple and normal name.
Sometimes I do want to get creative though, but sadly, that rarely turns up anything. On the other hand, that's technically how I made this name I'm using. The name I'm using isn't a 'real' name, but something I made using a combination between the regular name Ivan and the name Evander, a name that was both a variant of Evandrus that means "good man" and an anglicized form of Ivor, which means "bow warrior". I mostly chose Evander for the "bow warrior" meaning, since I'm a fan of archer characters, yet I liked the look of Ivan rather than Evan, so I just did the name "Ivander."
Also, while Evander can be pronounced with both a long e and short e, my intention with Ivander was for the short i to be the main pronunciation rather than a long i. Like you wouldn't be wrong if you were using a long i or even using a long e, I just think the short i pronunciation sounds more fluid.
I can't believe I'm doing this with the little free time that I have.
But here ya go:)

Here's an interesting question for you all.

What's one popular piece of media you've never watched or played but everyone else has?

For me, I've never seen much of DBZ or JoJo.
This may be a bit of a late reply to this, but here are some responses:
Japanese Media wise, I'd say the Fate series. I know of F/GO, watched some Fate/Zero and have a few personal favourites from the series like Alexander the Great (or Rider) and Waver Velvet, but the instant Ryuunosuke and Bluebeard (Gilles de Rais or Caster, whatever you prefer) appeared and committed a terrible atrocity on screen, I just stopped right there. No surprise that those two are among my most hated characters of all time, alongside Patroklos from SoulCalibur V.

Game-wise it's the fad of Battle Royale games over the past year, especially PUBG. My first time playing it was an awful experience and definitely put me off this 'genre' immediately. Unfinished and glitchy and far from a fun experience. I've been considering Fortnite as an alternative, but I don't want it to be the same kind of experience.

My response to Television is Game of Thrones and Rick & Morty. Neither show gives me a lot of reason to spend time with them, Game of Thrones is overrated in my opinion, and after that incident with the R&M fanbase, I'd rather watch something else.

As to the topic of what types of character designs I like, I'd say it all depends on what sort of aesthetic or atmosphere the game or series has. If it feels like it belongs in that world or isn't grossly exaggerated to the point of being uncanny, then it earns a few points in its favour from me. When it comes to fan-service and sexiness, I definitely have limits, some aforementioned examples include characters like Ivy or Dahlia where they become too sexualised and make the character an eyesore.

Oh boy, I saw design talk so get ready. Wall of text incoming
At least glance over it and pretend to have read it because I spent way too much time writing this
Basically, I like various types of character design.
I'm a sucker for costume design like cool armor designs such as Saber's:
A practical armor that still allows her to look agile yet powerful(also thanks to the non-visible-here shoulder pads) alongside a beautiful combat skirt to give an image of an elegant and strong fighter.
The color palette is also important to note: the silver armor plates just go so well with the blue dress and that matches perfectly with her blonde hair and green eyes. Giving her a calming aura with her bright colors.

Then there are those that are simply fancy, those that wear coats, capes and the such, for this, I have one main example:
First is Akutagawa from Bungou Stray Dogs. Really, I could use anyone from this manga because the designs are just so good, but I'll try to stay focused on him for now.
Coats like this one are simply badass, they look cool as **** and make a character intimidating, especially if a ****ing demon pops out of it. With his coat seemingly enveloping his slim stature with a vampire-like collar at his neck tells you what you need to know about him. The black/white palette also works perfectly since both parts of his hair have the same shade as his clothes.

Though I also think it's important to show another example, in this case, pst-Rideout Raid arc Shigaraki
Because he just looks so cool with that coat. Also, the hand serves as a mask, I guess, this is going to be relevant soon.

Then there are those who aren't human, not even organic. I'm talking about robots, because I love me some robotic designs.
Grievkus in Episode III would never have won me over with just his character. Hey, he even has the cape thing going on! The skull-like head isn't even the best thing, he as a whole looks like a robotic skeleton and that's just simply way too cool.
But speaking of robotic designs, there's one that wins over without a doubt.
The Mechon designs from XC are just great, but Metal Face is easily the best: from his weird proportions compared to a human, to the sharp and long claws and the gold and black palette with only his face to contrast with the rest of it. Metal Face screams intimidating, he looks unusual, with or without the context of XC: with it, he has a face, something Mechon aren't supposed to have which gives a weird feeking since this killing machine has a "face" to it, in both sense, the one that it's distinguishable from the others and that it can look onto your very soul with its eyes as it cuts you up like a hot knife through butter; without it, well, he's not a standard robot or mecha or whatever, his limbs are way bigger than anything else he has and, for some reason, a tiny headed scissor-hands man with giant arms and legs just leave you unnerved.

One thing I also like is not being able to tell the character's expression, which I guess plays into my love for robots. It can be a mask, a helmet anything, really, I just like having to read them based on body language and context alone.
Be it the classic Darth Vader
Or his clones like the Black Knight

Darth Vader Clone is the best trope in existence fight me
Or the more literal uses of a mask like Tobi

Sometimes the mask just looks good really
Sometimes it's not as mask or a helmet, it's just straight up their head but they can't physically emote with it

Goat skull headed daddy
I don't know, something about them is just so endearing to me. Shigaraki also fits here thanks to the hand he effectivelly wears as a mask, though I'd like to add that his removal of the mask is th only one that's used to accentuate his creepiness.

Also, for those that mentioned liking suits I present you exhibit A

Finally, I want to end with "how to not design a character"
I don't think anyone wants to hear me go on a rant about Pyra or Camilla, we all hate blatant fanservice, let's jump to the real issue here: bad costume and color combination.
Want a good/bad example of this? Look no further than Akame ga Kill
The first problem is that most of the costumes have nothing to them: Leone just has a black top, Tatsumi wesrs a sweater, Najenda's outfit and eyepatch as bland as you can get, Incursio is just a bland white armor that looks more like a scaled down mecha, etc.
Then there's the costume choices, like Akame having what seems to be a school uniform(her sister outright wears a sailor fuku), Tatsumi with his out of place sweater again, whatever the hell Sheele's wearing(the one with the glasses), etc. They all just clash because they're from vastly different periods in something that's supposed to be(mostly) a medieval setting.
And THEN there's the issue with their color palette, most of them have two or three different shades of the same color, or have colors that don't match at all, and this is just the main cast so trust me when I say it gets worse.
WHY THE **** IS SHE WEARING HEADPHONES
THERE DOESN'T EXIST ANYTHING IN THEIR SETTING TO USE THEM ON
WHO DESIGNED THIS ****
I always feel super lame when I name my characters.

I can never think up anything I think is good.

Even if its actually fine.
I'm super bad with this stuff, so much that, even if I scrap a character, I'll hold on to their name if I think it's decent enough in case someone needs one.

Like, I sometimes go with existing common names if they fit the character(Claire, Nathaniel, Rei, Railey, Leonard), but sometimes I just mix up words that have to do with the character in question(Ress) and that sometimes results in "what the **** do you mean this is actually a real name I just made it up"(Seshe, Leath)

Aside from liking simple/appealing color choices, yeah I also have a preference for characters wearing full masks with solid colored eyes, which I blame entirely on Spider-Man. I like armor if it isn't too complex looking, and usually clothing that's a bit baggy or has weight to it on a lot of characters.

A cape can look cool, as long as it's tattered. Except for Superman. His being clean helps his appeal.

I just like a wide variety I guess and it can depend on what they're going for.
Though if there are any aesthetics I like it's a variety of armours (knights and futuristic), "Tron" style and suits

Only stuff I really hate is **** like this, this and this.

As long the designs looks cool I am fine.... I don't any strict taste when it comes to aesthetics, and I don't think it should be something people should be too serious about or use it to determine whether you should by the game or not in my opinion.

I can understand the first two (Which one is Dahlia and yes I aware some just being weirdly crazy about her designs, whereas me it was nothing much to be focused about since she is a really good healer in XC2)

I actually like the last one, and that dude is from Final Fantasy Tatics A2.... which Square Enix has tend to make characters with complex outfits, it was a DS game and it was pretty good.

Quick question, what kind of character designs do you guys like?

I tend to prefer when characters have really readable looks without too many bells and whistles. But I know some others would like complex looking characters.
I tend to like simpler designs in characters, though I do like some more complex designs as long as they don't go too overboard with it.

But my favorite kind of designs are the ones that truly and accurately fit the character in some manner, like personality.

Take a character like Gallade for example. In both its normal and its mega form, Gallade's gladiator-style helmet fits his personality considering how his Pokedex entries talk about what a fierce fighter he is, just like a gladiator. With the mega form, the capes accentuate Gallade's knightly nature and demeanor, and the arms blades + the poses he takes in his artworks also show his cool and noble nature. The colors also go quite well: white for its kindness, red (with a piercing-shaped blade on its chest) for its fierceness, and dark green to highlight a calm yet strong attitude.

Another good example I can think of for my taste in character designs is a character like Hinoka. The short hair does a nice job highlighting her tomboyish and more warrior-like personality compared to a normal princess. The scarf makes a nice replacement for a cape: the how it appears in her artworks bring out her regal background while also highlighting her fighting spirit. The combination of red and white also looks great on her: red captures her fierce demeanor, while the white also highlights the sweet side to her.

In terms of general clothing styles out of characters, I'm a sucker for capes and masks, so you can imagine how much I like characters such as Professor Layton's Jean Descole and Fire Emblem's Conrad since both characters combine the two of both worlds. I also like seeing characters with suits.

Meanwhile, in a lot of generic shonen, you get crap where the demure, shy and traditionally feminine girl has huge bouncing boobs and panty shots at literally every chance they get. That **** really ****ing annoys me. Character becomes almost nothing. Nothing about the narrative or character is enhanced or changed by making her sexualized quite like that. It's just porn.

Also not too okay if the anatomy becomes so grotesque that the sexy design stops being sexy.... It's why Dahlia looks stupid to me.

And what I said about the girls can be mostly applied to guys too.

If we look at guy characters who are mainly meant for fanservice, same stuff mostly applies.

I haven't watched the show but I hear Free is really good at balancing that stuff out.

Sexualization isn't always a bad thing. It's when it becomes the sole or overly defining point of a character or work (that isn't intentionally porn, I guess) that its super terrible. In my opinion at least.
As someone who was watched Free, I can definitely confirm Free is good at balancing out fan service with characterization.

Frequently, you see the main characters in the show wearing nothing but their speedos, and that's mainly because it's a show about a group of high school students practicing for and competing in swim meets. However, each of the main characters have characters, personalities, motivations, and development that go beyond and not just limited to their muscular bodies. Take Makoto for example. You can already tell just from looking at him that he's quite the looker, especially when he is dressed for swim practice or swim meets. However, his personality is not a typical beach dude who wants to pick up girls at the beach. Instead, he's a very casual and chill dude who is kind-hearted and always looks out for the best in others. To me, he feels like a realistic character who'd be great to hang and out chill with.

The only time I can recall where Free got annoying with its fan service was when the show highlighted the main running gag of Gou, Rin's sister: that she likes staring at swimmers' muscles. When the show flaunts and highlights our characters' well-toned body parts through special lighting and backdrops, its mainly from Gou's eyes, and in those same scenes, she would proceed to talk about how "dreamy" and "wonderful" the guys looked just from looking at those bare body parts. This made Gou the most grating part of Free.

Thankfully, season 2 fixes this by removing those scenes. There, Gou makes a vow to herself that she won't gush about muscles until the national competition for high school swimming has finished, and by the end of the second season, we don't see her gawking about our heroes body parts at all. In addition to fixing its fanservice, this also significantly improves Gou's character as well.

I put more effort into names than I should sometimes. Especially when it comes to a character in a universe with a rule for character names (i.e. RWBY has the colour rule for any character born after the Great War where at least one of their names must relate to a colour).

Even outside of that I like to think a bit harder about names. I've got a Berserker style guy so what are some names of historical Berserkers? What sort of stuff did these guys do?

This guy has an association with Wolves so lets get a name relating to Wolves.

Other times I just name them Roach

As long the designs looks cool I am fine.... I don't any strict taste when it comes to aesthetics, and I don't think it should be something people should be too serious about or use it to determine whether you should by the game or not in my opinion.


If everyone is great, then no one is. :reverse:

I'm not hugely opposed to them, but I think lines can be crossed. Probably won't be insulted, but I'll think less of the design and perhaps the product if its a constant issue. I mean, I get it. We all like a little eye candy. Let's be honest with ourselves. But if my video game starts to take every possible chance to provide that eye candy, I start to worry.
This also reminds of that girl from Ys VIII, which I think she is called Dana... in my opinion she has way more less cloths compare to Pyra... but overall I am still roughly ok with her design, I really hope people won't be bothered by her designs when we see more info about the game on Nintendo Switch...

Meanwhile, in a lot of generic shonen, you get crap where the demure, shy and traditionally feminine girl has huge bouncing boobs and panty shots at literally every chance they get. That **** really ****ing annoys me. Character becomes almost nothing. Nothing about the narrative or character is enhanced or changed by making her sexualized quite like that. It's just porn.
I actually agree on this one and it is ok to dislike those pure fanservice designs, and even worse with fanserivce personality... but hey, there's a reason why stuff like porn is popular on the Internet... even though many people publicly say that they hate those kind of designs, but I'm pretty sure most people might be tend to enjoy them privately... which is nothing odd in my opinion.

Also not too okay if the anatomy becomes so grotesque that the sexy design stops being sexy.... It's why Dahlia looks stupid to me.
Again, not gonna "defend" on her design by any means but, it is very weird for someone to be bothered by fictional character designs in a fictional game... The game Xenoblade 2 basically is involved with people living on titans, salvaging in cloud sea... bonding with live forms called Blade that basically can live forever ... and not every people in Alrest look like human at all either... I am not really a big fan of Gormotti and Urayan's design ,but at the end of day, they're just video games...

And yes, I guarantee some people here will be persistent on their opinion and think that my statement regarding video game character design is stupid, hey, that's totally fine. However, this tend to cause beef when any of us be stubborn on our own opinions.

So again, is Dahlia's designs look stupid ugly, and sexualized? Absolutely, hell even her Japanese voice sounded very flirty so English VA they have to change it to a more southern American accent... but I won't do anything dumb such as releasing her or "dislike the game".

And what I said about the girls can be mostly applied to guys too.
I have discuss this with another user back in Deember when the very unnecessary and disastrous "Xenoblade 2 character design discussion debacle" happened. Which was pretty awful to the point that even some moderators were being biased as well... maybe I am wrong or overreacted, but there was one point I think that a mod warned me for try to be offensive... when I alaready got A LOT of insults and rebuttals after that discussion.
I still felt confused on why one user thinks that a video game should sexualized both genders equally... I actually do agree that statement to tyes of video games, but it isn't a big deal for me at least when a video game doesn't do that....
I'm not sure if Fire Emblem have fair share of cool and attractive dudes... but when again I matter if the game is good or not rather than focusing on the designs...

Sexualization isn't always a bad thing. It's when it becomes the sole or overly defining point of a character or work (that isn't intentionally porn, I guess) that its super terrible. In my opinion at least.
At the end of the day, everyone has difference boundaries and limits when it comes to sexualization, this obviously fits with every game developers, gamers, and medias as well...

Me I have said this multiple of times regarding sexualization and fanserivce, fanserivce is just like salt, I enjoy them on certain meals, but I don't like it when it is my only food.
Is this the dude I like to see painting when I was a kid?
To be honest, I don't get it LOL... like I said, it is my own opinion, no matter you agree or disagree I am all ears to hear your two cents.

Seriously man, this is getting annoying at this point
Woah there...
I don't any strict taste when it comes to aesthetics, and I don't think it should be something people should be too serious about or use it to determine whether you should by the game or not in my opinion.
you are actually annoyed on somebody's own opinion?
Ok... this means some opinions shouldn't be mentioned I guess.
Or just curious..just what exactly should I let go? LOL, when someone have an opinion that I have some thoughts on it I should neglect it, is that what you meant?
Or is it really me that I said something that violates the thread rules?
Again, no offense, something tells me you should be the one to let go...
I don't want any beef here, and I am very sorry if you got annoyed (And other 6+ people who liked your post...) but if you are really bother or have complaints on my opinion, please PM or I am also welcome for doing voice chat discussion.

This needs to end.
...
To be frank I am confused... what needs to end? Someone's own opinions and statements that probably most people get annoyed at for some resason?
I never said it should be continued, all I did was giving out my own thoughts, if any moderators saw this, please explain what I did wrong. I really don't want to be the bougyman here.

Anyone who named a Frieza race character that wasn't some kinf of cold pun, or a saiyan that wasn't a vegetable should be ashamed of themselves.

Brb, firing up Xenoverse 2 to create the saiyan Beef McLargehuge.

I always feel super lame when I name my characters.

I can never think up anything I think is good.

Even if its actually fine.
Eh.

I name mine Red on the first playthrough pretty much every time.

If there's a second, I'm consistently irreverent.

At least glance over it and pretend to have read it because I spent way too much time writing this
Did exactly that.

Will probably read for real later, I'm just in a hurry.

It's just...

It seems like whenever anyone says anything about Xenoblade 2 you have to rant about the fanservice and how its okay.

Every dang time.

Even if someone agrees with you. It's super annoying at this point.

Just learn to stop talking about it. It's so frequent that its infuriating.

Im sorry, but you really need to stop. You've gone beyond obsession, and at this point I would put you at harassment of other members because of how much you fel the need to get your 2 cents in on xenoblade. It seems you are incapable of people having differing opinions of you and that you need to reply. Always.

If you can't handle other people having opinions and you feel the need to always butt in, I suggest you take a break from the internet/SB. It's annoying

People have called you out. Mods have called you out. And you won't stop. Seriously. Xenoblade isn't a religion you need to convert people to. Let other people's opinions exist without constantly replying to people. The harassment needs to end.
