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:
- Seduction is a personal and intimate thing, particularly if it’s for something longer than overnight.
- People with wealth and power can usually have attractive company any time they like without being seduced and fleeced.
- 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.

I stumbled upon the MMO Skyforge yesterday, and noticed that most of the female outfits were… Troubling. Some of them look fairly similar to the male versions, but every single one of them have high heels and very prominent boobs/cleavage. I also heard a friend say something about boob physics… These two classes were the ones that have the biggest difference between the male and female outfits, and I’m very surprised none of them got a bingo.
The official website for the game is http://sf.my.com/
Skyforge is back! And sadly it seems that the only feedback they’ve taken on board was to to stop giving the gents much nicer hair than the ladies… now the men get head protection and the women don’t.
Seriously designs, I love garter belts as much asprobably more than the average straight guy – but they are not armor! Please just prioritize protecting the ladies and let us imagine their tastes in lingerie instead (because honestly, most of you are not that good at lingerie design either).
