I want to catch up on Beast in the East, but I'm still on episode 9. The series started out strong but they've been harder and harder to watch as time went on. I miss Shenmue.

Well obviously you put those on carefully. People wear those things IRL, surely a game character wearing them can't be such a stretch.
but 10 is like, the best one

They need to do a dubbed series so I can just half pay attention like i do with every giantbomb video/

Man, Dan talking about scalpers at Nintendo World walking out and try to sell to people in the same fucking line just makes me so goddamn angry.
The sad thing is, The older Tales games had an amazing Costume designs. Heck, I even wanted to be a designer thanks to Tales of Symphonia's amazing art and costume design
Seriously?
I mean, I can tell myself lies too, but...

The plot justification is that she ripped into some clothing taken from a prison.
Like, somehow ripped into something that needs to be carefully constructed.

y'all, don't make me do this. don't make me be the guy that's gotta justify the ridiculous anime costume. i never wanted this
the top is from the prison (and indeed is total nonsense), the leggings are her old pants from before she got thrown into prison that got shredded up by demons after cagefighting them for three years straight

Eh whatever. I've certainly played anime games with dumber outfits.

Some anime/JRPG outfits are really great, at least.

Beast in the East is so good. This cabaret club stuff is hilarious haha
I can't deal with the character design in Beseria.
Like what the fuck is going on here.
looks about the same level of bad as the nier character design

Back before the full reveal, a bunch of us were joking that her clothes were from being a pirate-vampire-werebear from what little we knew at the time plus some silliness.
But yeah, Okamoto should be the character designer for Tales (ToX2 had styyyyyyyyyle for days), but the other two are big-time mange artists so them and their wierd quirks stay.
Also, Jason should be a bigger proponent of Tales. I wonder why he aint.

This is a real design that really got approved and really exists
Oh I thought you were talking about 2B
Yeah this is very... indulgent. The writing redeems it somewhat but it's very much wanting to have your sexualization cake and critique it too.

I don't equate practicality with quality of design especially in a game as stylized as Nier Automata. It's a good design. It's sexy without just being "She isn't wearing anything at all!". Obvs subjective but the practicality argument doesn't get you very far imo. Nier has aspirations towards realism.
It's pure fantasy. As practical as character designs in other fantasy games.

The funny thing with a lot of female Japanese character design is that outside of their absolutely insanely pandering outfits, I feel like I more often encounter self-actualized, self-driven, and well written/memorable female characters in Japanese games than I do in a lot of the western games I play.
The outfits can really distract from that though. It's a weird thing.

2B is pretty bad too
"here's my combat robot designed for combat"
Her being a robot means the design makes sense. Like a robot wouldn't have trouble running in high heels
And holding giant swords. People get all worked up over these things.
Yeah its really close to looking good. If that did that and make the boob window sheer like the rest of the top, it would look better.
Yeah exactly. Not sure if you guys have seen the video where the guy kicks the shit out of the robot dog, but its clear a robot can look like anything and still be practical if you want it to be.
