Before that however, they tried (successfully I believe) to reverse engineer a pattern using Nikki and her butt as a reference.

One detail I really like for some reason in Shirobako is the nerdy guy on the team, Todou I think his name is (blonde mohawk guy), has the most anime figures on his desk.

yeah it's really dumb even if you don't look at it from the lens of curing someone of lesbianism (which i do because the internet does this to me)

noa is allegedly changing this around, but it depends on to what. i mean apparently fates is a-okay with guys smooching guys and girls smooching girls? i would hope it's just toned down to 'man it's a little hard to get my poo poo together when i have a crush on every girl, can i like talk to you about this' and then you have a lovely chat about not putting romance above literally life or death situations and teach her about proper battlefield focus and compositions and then everyone is happy without all sorts of weird drink spiking

It was her lower arm, which was in turn referenced mostly from her butt.

the personalized desk spaces are pretty nice details in that show. glasses dude who doesn't give a gently caress doesn't have any personalization on his desk, because he just sees it as a 9-5.

the Soleil situation's weirdness is compounded by the fact that Fates is the first one to allow same-sex couples but Soleil, the girl whose main characteristic is "likes pretty girls so much that she can't handle it" is not allowed to be part of a same-sex couple

It's an inherited personality trait gag that was probably only though of in a bubble. The same-sex stuff is handled weirdly in general.

Oh, sure, I'm just saying. I'd probably play as a lady if I could marry Soleil that way but it seems rude to have her marry a dude

(Also I don't care much about original Tharja and I therefore probably won't care about Not Tharja, who is the one girl allowed to date girls)

i'm sorry gays and lesbos but you only get one representative each and we already decided Tharja gets the yuri action

My assumption is she's the stock anime girl friend character who likes grabbing girl's boobs but is also straight. Though that character type has become more openly gay in recent years I feel.

My understanding is that her main thing is that she gets nervous around pretty girls and can't mack on them properly, which I think is pretty unambiguous with regards to whether or not she's interested in girls

it's super frustrating because i guess they realized it was a problem, but were also afraid of offending people if they gave more then one choice for each pairing???

i really don't get the reasoning behind it unless it was a last minute decision to toss people that wanted to be homosexual in the game a bone

I tried really hard not to know every drat thing about Fire Emblem Fates before it came out, but here we are approximately eight years after it was announced and I've got opinions on the changes in characters' names

not tharja is a lot chiller than regular tharja, tbh.

also her s support with female avatar is really cute, where she does the 'oh but we're both girls' shtick and kamui just goes 'it's because we're both girls'

Well, the other reason I probably won't care about her is that she's in the same faction as Hana, Rinkah, and Kinu

lol, i just read that kotaku article and

quote:

While the English version of Fates still includes many relationship-building activities by way of robust castle functionality, Nintendo confirmed to me that petting is 100 percent out. The rep explained, though they also defended the original intent of the Japanese version:

“Yes, that is the case. You might have heard somewhat misinterpreted or exaggerated information about the Japanese original game, but even in the Japanese original version, we have not included any features which are considered inappropriate in Japan.”

i have no idea how that translates to 'facepetting is out.' it's way more likely that the guy is talking about suggestive dialogue in it being toned down.

that's the same thing as the soleil convo, where all nintendo said was "no, there's not gay conversion in our game".

Supposedly the third campaign lets you gay marry more characters, or so said the Kotaku article about removing the petting.

The dumbest thing is it's a fantasy setting, having heterosexuality be the norm is stupid. Give me a fantasy setting where being bi is the norm but there are some characters who are wholly straight or wholly gay, instead.
