I don't like it.

I don't get why people here get so defensive everytime there's critcism about a Nintendo game.


This just makes it look like another generic skimpy JRPG#32235.

Fire Emblem had a great art style up until Awakening, now fates just went full "compile hearts/senran kagura" crap (imo).


Altough i don't blame them honestly, Awakening was going to be the last game in a franchise that was about to die, and Awakening turned it into very important 3DS franchise now.

Still, the price was too high, now instead of getting lords fighting for their people and empire, we get big titties and softcore porn, it's like they sold their dignity just to stay afloat.


However this is just an opinion, if you just enjoy this type of artstyle, well, better for you.


I just wish this moe artstyle could die, there's so few JRPGs nowadays that don't look like K-ON and stuff like that.


I just can't immerse myself in a game that have this kind of characters, i wan't to play as a knight with full plate armor, not as a 15 year old with double D cups almost nude fighting other 15 year olds with D cups.

I was going to make a long post saying exactly what you have here, but you did it for me :p 

This perfectly nails exactly how I feel about Awakening/Fates.  I'm the biggest FE fan here and probably in the world but I loathe anime and it's been a irritating spectical having to deal with the merger of these two things.  I too understand that the series needed to adapt to the mass market in order to stay afloat but yes, selling your dignity is exactly what's happened here.  It perfectly describes, I think, what OP's issue with the game(s) is.

It's really hard to have a memorable cast when everyone is an archtype from a Shonen Jump anime.

Being a JRPG fan and not liking anime is suffering, kinda like loving shooters but hating Battlefield/Call of Duty, when you really start looking there aren't actually many shooters to play if you don't like those 2 franchises.

 

I don't even hate anime if it's like old school Shin Megami Tensei, even SMT:IV was okay for me.

 

It's sad, it makes it look like the japanese video game industry simply lacks talent in the art department, almost every game looks the same.

Why do you think there's so many wacky hair colors in these games? it's literally the only way they have to differentiate characters.

 

Well, that and tits size.

So basically the characters for all this JRPGs are "pink small tits girl, red big tits girl, tall and mean white hair girl" etc.
