Fire Emblem: Pantsening, Part 1

(The title is not a joke on Awakening, I know Nyx is not from that game.)

So, doing redesigns for the game series that keeps on giving… its lady characters no pants. I don’t even care if they’re garbage pants, can they please have something, so that they’re not riding frigging scaley wyverns with bARE LEGS-

Ahem. Anyway, Fire Emblem. I decided to redesign Nyx. I don’t know what it is with me and FE dark mage types. Mostly, what caught my eye was that this was another FE woman who looks way younger than her age, while wearing strangely revealing clothes.

Most of the edits I did involved giving her an actual shirt, rather than…. uhh?? … as well as some PANTS. I also broke up her shoes into two parts mostly for the design aspect. Such tall thigh-highs make any non-leggings look weird. The last big change was her veil, which I tried to make a little more realistic-looking. I’m not sure how, in the original, the veil is supposed to be hanging down, but then be behind her long bangs that fall close to her face??

The dark skin-tone parts on her clothes are opaque, by the way. I was just too lazy to come up with another color for them, to be honest. This was definitely one of those streams where I was struggling to work with what I had… I probably could have done a better job given more time, but I’m fairly happy with it as it is now. I promise I’ll do a non-mage the next time we redesign Fire Emblem ladies.

So close, yet so far (to a good design). I even like the pink/gold color scheme! But I think we know why they left those 4 inches of skin on her legs… <sideglance at clothing damage> But this seems to be a thing for Fire Emblem ladies, unfortunately. Who needs pants anyway?

Also, is it just me, or is her left arm really long in that first pic…?

Can we discuss how egregious her boobplate is, though?

So much ornamentation frames the breast cups and their cleavage, just in case anyone forgot she had titties and they were very definitely separated. If no boobs, how woman, after all?

the cavalier outfit is really cu-

alright, what the actual fuck

How charming! It’s the mullet of female armor: business in the front, (tasteless) party in the back!

No-one and nothing should consider being compared to the mullet as a compliment.

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.
