Thor Odinson Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) I'd say that's more fault of character design than the artwork. FE11 also has glaring anatomy issues. Edited October 4, 2011 by Luminescent Kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I thought the joke was that the FE12 art displayed beautiful women, whilst FE11 displayed men. FE11's looks awful when compared to FE12's (mostly because of the faces). I can't say I was disappointed with the art at the time of its launch, though.

Inactive Account Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) FE11 also has glaring anatomy issues. Aigh, this forever. "It's cartoonish" doesn't stretch all that far as a defense for giving someone (especially a physical unit) a waist significantly less wide than their head when the art style appears to be going for fairly realistic proportions aaaaaaagh. On the actual topic of FE13 art style, it's not what I'm used to for FE, but that doesn't make it bad necessarily. I think it'll turn out okay, I just need some time to get used to it. Character design... it might take me a while to stop laughing at the button hat. I could do without ridiculous character design (at least, more ridiculous than FE frequently already is); if more crops up, I might be mildly irritated. (If I need to get my fix on zippers, buckles, and belts, I'll get a Square game.) Edited October 4, 2011 by Kiryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Other issues I find with FE11 art include parts of the colouring. It's...too rounded off, feels like pillowing but not sprite version, and on some parts (cloth that doesn't billow, mainly), the texturing feels off because of that. Also dodgespam for highlights looks pretty terrible. I will give the artist the ability for detail, though. I thought the joke was that the FE12 art displayed beautiful women, whilst FE11 displayed men. Except I actually prefer dudes (heterosexual female) so that wouldn't be much of a joke on my part. If anything else It'd be the opposite. :P Edited October 4, 2011 by Luminescent Kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Maybe I should've posted an all guys pic of FE12 instead and draw abs on them and picked an all chick one for FE11. Well, I hadn't even thought of it so meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) No, I'm saying that I find abs very attractive and more abs the better. I want all the female characters to have abs too. Even the magechicks. ESPECIALLY the magechicks. Edited October 4, 2011 by Luminescent Kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 So you're saying a slightly overweight Oguma wouldn't be awesome? And, absolutely everyone, wants Gheb on their team. A female Berserker, Fighter, or indeed a magechick, with abs would be pretty cool, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatist Elitist Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I've got to throw my vote in on the side of "the new art is super gr9". Ronku <3<3<3<3<3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The art styles have been changing all the time, and this one isn't anything new. Hell, it's way better than to two DS remakes. Their art style was so... weird. I kind of like the DS remake's art because they look kind of retro. It's a very gloomy version of the old art. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Which one? Since FE11 and FE12 has different art styles. Well, partially. I think the same person who did Frey and Horace's and Athena and all the new people's art did FE12's OA, but the ones of characters in FE1 originally were of another style. I'm just curious to know which one you're referring to :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I meant FE11. Not the Masamune Shiro art either. Just the in game art. FE12 is close enough, but there are some subtle differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree. It's the official art that's a bit... well, yeah. There's certainly nothing wrong with it. It just didn't actually match the game at all, literally.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Lol. You obviously don't like it. I like the style, just the designs are a tad iffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eail Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This has more than likely already been gone over but I'll say it anyways. The only real problem I have with this new design in Character is the Amour Knight model, I don't know about you guys but I don't find Shellfish to be all that threatening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroom Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not really. FE style sprites have never exactly been consistant. I kind of like the new art style. I do agree with this. The transition from SnK to SoS to SS to PoR to RD are the obvious transitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Don't know if anybody said this but, I find the new art style quite similar to the style from Valkyria Chronicles 3. I like it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuki Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 IDK, I kinda felt the same way at first, but then it started to grow on me. It does look a little too non-Fire Emblemy(even though FE never really had an ACTUAL style for that matter), for my taste; but I'll get used to it. I personally liked the styles used in FE games 4-5 and FE 11-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
