If showing a little leg or some cleavage is "fanservice" (like Ishtar, Sonia and Petrine), you've got problems. FE took a whole other step beyond Awakening and just made a thing. The whole TCG exaggerates 90% of the chick's assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean i already said it before I'm ok with fanservice, heck when i played Shadow Dragon, Caeda being hot is the entire reason i stomache that game Just don't make it ugly, which is sadly literally Fates and Awakening. Theres a good reason i never complained about SoV despite the fact that the design there is just as fanservice as it have always been And FEM Linde more than manage to surpass my expectation in every wrong way possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I myself is that crazy about legs, it's just I know it's a thing in Japan. If your definition of fanservice is only boobs and pussy you're oh so getting it wrong And I'd rather not complain about females getting sexualized when they are catering to females too.

Junkhead Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 What I mean to say is there's a clear-cut difference between what FE always did and what started to be a trend starting Awakening. Nobody can handwave that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can handwave that. I dunno. People only started noticing fanservice and getting them to make more "appeal to that kind of crowd" simply because of the whole "you can make a character and marry anyone in the game" mechanic. Without that, it just seems to me that the fanservice has been in line with the times. Seasonal fanservice character roll banners are the norm in other gacha games.

That's not the excuse at all, but they were both things older fans tend to see as a degrade in quality. Think of it, a game that's always been rather tame and gentle with it's character designs decides to go down that road because it sells more (yes, I'm one of those guys, but you just ought to admit I'm right). Other games always did this, it's nothing I'd call new. It's not what I'd call "gacha-related". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since my perspective via the Japanese FEs means I take more to the "sexified" implications in language in addition to character designs in old FEs that gets lost in English or translation patch. We are also in an FE heroes thread. So gacha fanservice is always part of the discussion whether we like it or not. There was never any golden age of fire emblem tame character designs to degrade from. They are simply a reflection of the times they were born from. Now if we're talking about character designs regarding impractical things such as battle panties... That's another subject entirely.

There is always language specific implications that can't be translated into English no matter how hard we try. Just like the "Kingdom of Byakuya and Anya" doesn't have that "oomph" to English FE14 players. If you want an illustration of how much text can affect how "sexed up" a character design can be via context, look at Feena and Kris supports. And that was recent.

I never heard anything to those regards. I'm genuinely really curious as to what you mean now. Like, are you referring to cultural things that aren't that big of a deal in Japan?

In general, westerners make a bigger deal about sex or any implications of sex related things more than the Japanese, I've noticed. In FE games, they are just little things here and there that just don't transfer unless you know Japanese. What I'm saying is that in my perspective, being primarily rooted in the Japanese FE games... The fanservice of recent FE games a la Awakening or Fates and people's reactions to them are attributed to their possible nostalgia of older character designs. Your "ought to admit I'm right" statement earlier is not all encompassing as while there is a change in character design trends since Awakening... The reflection of those changes as proof of degradation is debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
