Look at these. Please, just look. This is ridiculous.
Worst part is that not only does this go with @eschergirls proportions and the weirdest looking wolf ever drawn (seriously, it’s like they google “bad taxidermy” to get reference images) but this is actually not their worst design. I present to you, the “Dragon Lady” hero who is “tank”:
Not only does she have nipple armor, but she seems to have armor that forces her to maintain that weird and painful looking posture. In fact most of the female characters out of their totally original, not lazy rip offs at all, line up seem to be stuck in this pose and have their gear designed around it.
So basically they made a horror game without realizing it.

I’m really happy to find a game with a female hero who has a decent outfit 🙂
I really do love this as an example of a game that has all the trappings of an old school fantasy adventure game with none of the ridiculous outfits.
Available on Steam and to be featured on our Curator page soon!

Killer Instinct continues to be a mixed bag, but in Sadira’s case I really do feel that rather than projecting the idea of her using feminine sexuality for evil, she just looks like she was in a rush and forgot her pants.
Personally, especially since it’s Halloween season, I wish they’d focus on more female characters who had that kind of charisma and appeal that Hisako does.

I suddenly don’t hate Hal’s Injustice costume.
網タイツ・・・！私にはこう見えますよ。
This is indisputably a far more dynamic, exciting and empowering interpretation of Green Lantern’s costume than the menu graphics in Injustice are going with:
DC Comics, Warner Bros, Netherworld Studios… I’m just saying I think you’re sitting on a potential gold mine with DLC costumes here.

Time to spoil a seven year old game. Let’s talk about Kiera Stokes from FEAR 2: Project Origin
This is Lt Stokes
She is the only woman on the Dark Signal squad, and while technically her body armor covers the same spaces as her male counterparts, the game feels the need to have her undershirt not cover her stomach.
Naturally, she gets gut shot by recurring antagonist Aristide.
Don’t make your female characters a Stokes.
Whenever things like this happen I always imagine the creators picking an outfit for the character, laughing about an obvious problem with it then congratulating themselves for being geniuses for showcasing the flaw in their character’s choices without ever considering who really made those choices.
I can’t help but notice that they also decided that Stokes was the only one who didn’t need elbow length sleeves or elbow pads… presumably they were concerned that someone might mistake her for having arms with the kind of tone that tends to accompany intensive combat training.

I did an armor edit of Charlotte from Fire emblem! Finished product first.
It’s not perfect, but I really like it. This is my first time finishing a large project like this (started three days ago, whew)! I want to revise other characters from Conquest, too, because I personally think that their personalities could be better reflected if their designs were revisited.
@bikiniarmorbattledamage This is an old subject, but I thought you might appreciate my take on Charlotte’s design from FE.
That’s a second attempt at fixing Charlotte’s nonsensical costume on our blog and it’s a damn solid one.
Amazing attention to detail. I especially like the belt rings which hold up her cincher. They both reference rings on her belt and gorget, while their placement is subtly implying on the character’s… naughty nature.
