i'm mostly impressed by how well they handled the lightning and makeup

Inevitably, this time of year, my mind goes to this track:

You could do a Katt thing with ears.


Strangely enough, it never bothered me that Katt had no pants, or that her second form wore body paint for clothes, but I totally get what he meant RE: armour designs. Sometimes you're just left baffled as to what, exactly, your character is wearing and usually it's the women that are the ones wearing the clothes that aren't, well, normal.

For example, I love Oulan to bits because buff, sexy bodyguard who punches the shit out of things, but what the hell is the deal with her clothes? (Thankfully, Suikoden tends to treat the ladies well, but there are a few of them who make you go a bit o.O; Not that that's a bad thing - I like me some skimpy clothes on a woman too, but only as long as it's not the only thing all the women in the game are wearing and it makes sense (fucking bright pink miniskirt on Ashe trying to hide in a town of long pant/skirt fashion???)

Uh, Oulan's rediculous outfit, btw:

I don't know, some part of me loves it, but when I first saw it I wondered what the fuck was wrong with her. XD

Well, sometimes women do like to show off their bodies or wear revealing clothes - not for the male gaze, but because it makes us feel good or they're more comfortable. I have absolutely no issue with that, being as I've worn my fair share of tops that show cleavage, short skirts and the like. They can be fun to wear around the house (especially if the skirt in question does the flarey thing when you spin! X3 ) They can just feel good to wear.

If you're going in to battle though, yeah, fucking put some armour on those breasts girl. They're the only thing blocking the way to your heart and lungs, squishy parts that were never meant to be exposed to light.

Oulan's works okay for me because she has got a body-fitting leotard underneath her clothes that provides support (the belts help with that, I'm sure). That said, with how much her breasts bounce in battle, she's gotta be feeling the hurt after a while. Needs even more support. Also skirts? Not very good for moving in (though hers does seem the type that can be ripped off as needed I guess?)

Indeed ^^
(Btw, sorry if I somehow sounded out like a lame purist(is that the correct term?) with label-on-sight behavior, design x fan-service is a complicated subject and I come up with badly explained phrases every now and then.)

That would shed some new light on the design, as it would be way easier to fight without the risk of it getting stuck in whatever pointy bits your foe may have.

Well! There's a new fighting concept! Armor for strippers.

Anyhoo...

OUlan is the type of woman who says "Yeah, I'm gonna beat people up today, but I'm gonna look fab doing it and I don't care if I break an ankle!" Then goes and does it because she's Oulan. XD

I love the costume design in the Suikoden games. Everyone looks so different to each other and yet there's certain cohesive threads through the clothing of the people who come from the same area. Like the Karayan peeps have these intricate striped designs on their clothes, or the people from Radat town are a mix of Japanese fishing town/Western clothing. It's really interesting to look at the different characters and just be able to tell where in the world they came from from their clothes.

And the clothes themselves are so pretty sometimes. I'm not a big fan of Millie, but I really like her blue dress (the baret is a bit much), and Jeane's fashion is so classy most of the time (we don't talk about Suikoden V's dress. Jeane does Jeane and Jeane does skimpy). I just really like everyone's clothes. X3

You know it~

My cellphone chose the worst possible time to break. It was indispensable to keep communications in my job and family matters, but i guess it was a matter of time (samsung galaxy Young, android 2.3, 7 years old). Since i have no money for another phone i'll have to be incommunicated with everyone until february when it's my birthday and i can hope for any family member to take pity on me.

Sigh i feel a knot in the base of my stomach due to how much stress this is causing me.
