Charlotte from the latest Fire Emblem Fates. If you look closely you can see she has high heels on.

While I understand her gimmick is wooing richer men to spoil herself, I basically find the design embarrassing.

I feel that the biggest flaw with these designing a character around them being seductive approaches is that they sort of disregard for the idea that:

  1. Seduction is a personal and intimate thing, particularly if it’s for something longer than overnight.
  2. People with wealth and power can usually have attractive company any time they like without being seduced and fleeced.
  3. Advertising that you’re trying to be seductive and sexy probably doesn’t help them relax and slip into being seduced.

From what I can gather about Charlotte… part of her being a seductress is she’s trying to pretend to be innocent and she’s also meant to be a mighty warrior.  I can’t help but think that maybe more armor would help her with both of her goals.

There are a lot of “strong female characters” there, even our old friend Camilla and some others!

This last is so absurd i have no idea what class she is supposed to be. Maybe it’s a new class called “Bikini Knight”?

I am a long time fire emblem fan you know? I used to waste hours on the GBA ones. I try really hard to tell my friends that Fire Emblem is a serious strategy game and not a waifu dating sim, but they always laugh at my face and call me a pevert.

I don’t think i am going to buy this game anymore…

Thank you for the submission, we appreciate the commentary (I especially enjoy the waifu simulator comparison).
If I didn’t know better, I’d probably assume this IS just some “knight”-themed porny visual novel/dating sim akin to Sakura Fantasy, not some high fantasy strategy adventure game from a long-standing franchise.

Still, you forgot to mention one very important thing:

There’s literally a phallic object sticking out from between Camilla’s boobs!

THERE’S LITERALLY A PHALLIC OBJECT STICKING out FROM BETWEEN CAMILLA’S BOOBS!

THERE’S. LITERALLY. A. PHALLIC. OBJECT. STICKING. OUT. FROM BETWEEN. CAMILLA’S. BOOBS.

…is it supposed to be related to that cleavage-seatbelt we noticed in her before?

I’m beginning to think that the cleavage-seatbelt was inspired more by tentacles than armor.

Edit: We’ve been informed that the object between Camilla’s boobs IS indeed her boob belt, just drawn incompetently for that angle. It wouldn’t even occur to me, considering perspective on other parts of character are okay in this image.
