This is Alisha Diphda, from the upcoming JRPG Tales of Zestiria. The thing that gets me about this outfit is that the tabard she’s wearing actually looks like it could have some chainmail and padding under it (as in, it’s one of the first female military outfits I’ve seen in a JRPG that’s not skin-tight), but then everything goes out the window for the strange lack of pants and the bizarre armour-garters. Like, she actually has a decent amount of armour on, but then she just… forgot pants…

I’m pretty sure if you had “garter belts” to hold up thigh high boots they’d ridiculously annoying and have a good chance of chafing you.  I looked up this character (mostly to confirm if the little crosses meant “medic”) and I”m pretty sure this is yet another outift where “panty flashes” were the top design priority.

I literally just read somebody suggesting that the “iron man” in all new all differen avengers van’t be pepper potts because the armor has no boobs….what ._.

But Rose, how can fans possibly believe it’s a G I R L in there if the suit doesn’t have BIG IRON TITTIES?! [/sarcasm]

In case anyone wondered what All-New All-Different Avengers is:

Regardless of who this particular Iron Man is supposed to be, Pepper Potts rocks the boobless Iron Man suit just fine. Ask Stjepan Sejic (seems this artwork was deleted from dA. Here’s it’s archive.com copy).

People really need to stop playing their faith in boobcups. They’re not necessary if you have boobs, and by now everyone should know that the boobplate does not guarantee boobs underneath:

There was a very strange article I recently read on video games that involve fighting and “jiggle physics”

The quotes near the bottom are what concerned me the most…

“Anyway, as it turns out, a female martial arts instructor I was talking to recently revealed to me over a Skype chat that ‘no matter how much you try to prevent it from happening, you can’t stop them from jiggling’.

‘They’ll jiggle?” I inquired.

‘Yes, they will,’ she replied, ‘in my case, they absolutely will jiggle.

‘When they jiggle, how is the movement like?’ I inquired further.

We went back and forth like this for about 15 minutes, before I was forced to conclude that, no matter how much you try to control it, it’s only natural for them to jiggle.”

I feel like this kind of stuff entitles the developers from Namco (They make Tekken and Soul Calibur) and other companies to add over the top and ridiculous breast physics.

Some of the comments on that page from the users also made me pretty uncomfortable…

I can’t get over the idea that comical jiggle physics in Tekken are for “realism” but none of the realism advocates want the female characters to dress in that would have a chance of containing their boobs.

Rooster Teeth did a video testing the “realism” of costumes in Tekken’s competitor Soul Calibur.  Why yes they did to put censor bars up to block accidental nudity, how did you guess!?

And to think, there are people who wonder why video games aren’t taken seriously as an art form.

Acknowledging that real boobs do, in fact, jiggle doesn’t make video game jiggle physics pass as “realistic”…

Ask any boob-haver who takes part in athletic activities (like, I dunno, martial arts? that thing Tekken is about?!) and they’ll confirm that to freely move around, breasts need to be bound with something like a sports bra… or two… or three.

We decided to introduce Throwback Thrursdays to BABD! From now on, one of the Thursday’s post is going to be something brought back deep from bikiniarmorbattledamage‘a archives, to promote older posts that are still very much on point.

Today’s throwback: Why jiggly boobs, while real, are not realistic in games. Also why it’s important to reduce the jiggle while performing sports and martial arts.
