So a friend recently asked me what I thought about this outfit:
I said that I dont understand the panties or the thigh-highs, or why she has random skin windows, or why she seems to have better protection on her forearms than her vitals, but aesthetically it’s nice.
As far as official Starfire outfits go, this is maybe the second (non-cartoon) one I recall that actually looks wearable, which is a big plus, considering the alternatives:
Guess my standards for this character’s look are just ridiculously lowered at this point, but I really do think that new outfit is an improvement and hope Starfire doesn’t revert to some sort of impossi-bikini anytime soon.

Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright isn’t a combat game but I’m disclosing that it has some of my favourite storylines and character designs from all the games I’ve ever played. That being said, there’s one woman in particular:
Her English name is Foxy, and she is the only female member of a group of knights guarding Labyrinthia’s clock tower. She is depicted as a vain and rather spoiled woman who is much more concerned about her hair staying bouncy and her steel stilettos not getting muddy instead of her guard duties with the Vigilantes. She has two male groupies whose names are Servius and Treddon – in-game you even a demonstration of a footprint of hers on the back of his armour.
It’s a shame because the standard knight’s armour looks pretty cool.
But I guess they decided on a Certain Amount of In-Game Sexiness…and this was way after a character named Olivia Aldente explained and justified her midriff baring chef’s uniform despite handling sharp knives and boiling water in the kitchen.

Why would anyone want to wear an ugly boobplate bikini when they would parade around in a work of art?

So, while I’m not super thrilled with Linkle – I am kind of grateful they didn’t base her appearance off Zhurong/Zhu Rong from Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series (or literally any character from Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive series).
If you’re confused why she’s blond and amazon cosplaying… so is basically everyone else since she is based off Lady Zhurong from the actual Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, who looked more like this:
And this is how she looked in Koei’s Romance of the Three Kingdom’s game.
It is an eternal mystery, the answer to which is probably known only to a small cabal of Creepy Marketing Guys.
