And now we have a tip for dudes wanting to draw dudes that appeal to ladies in a very sexual way:

Instead of designing attire to show off how powerful, unflappable and stoic the character is – consider something that shows off little vulnerability, the kind that you want to share with someone you want to get intimate with (in a sexual way).  Obviously mileage varies but I think you’ll find this method appeals to a lot more ladies than various Kratos style clones do.

If you have to: Design a gender neutral costume that you could imagine a really sexy lady rocking, then put a fit but not overly muscular dude in it and make sure you give him a spectrum of emotions.

We talked about this when the game was fully announced around this time last year.  It seems that thankfully they decided to go the opposite direction to Valkyria and added shadows, costumes, etc to tone down the fan service.

Naturally brodudes are taking this well… I’m just kidding.

They’ve also been on Twitter harassing translators who do localizations (like they make creative decisions) and insisting they just want “word for word translation no matter what”

Of course, people not intent on misunderstanding the concept of localization or attacking people for doing their jobs can formulate a pretty simple theory on why this release may be slightly different.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a combination of Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei but based off the sales figures available (looking at just Japan), it only sold about 10% of what Fire Emblem Fates did (special edition literally sold out on day one) and about 12% of what Shin Megami Tensei IV did.

They’re not terrible sales, but it’s got to be a disappointing result based off the two brands involved here. It’s almost like all this over emphasis on fan service and hyper-sexualization of female characters at the expense of the rest of the product doesn’t go down well with mainstream audiences in Japan either.

So now they’re trying make into a game people won’t avoid for fear having to have an awkward talk if someone walks in while they’re playing it.

Finished my Saizo sketch! I know he’s not the most popular FE:if character but.. he’s.. my husband so.. too bad >_>

Will be a print for Fanime, AX, Otakon etc. Hope there are other saizo fans out there TuT

See, why isn’t Fire Emblem leading with this kind of imagery?  Letting men know the game is has empowered male figures like Saizo in it?

Thank goodness for fans who understand the true appeal of the games.

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.
