"Hi Everybody!"

That Karikaro girl seems to have had the metal struts of her dress riveted into place around her waist so it can't ever be taken off. People do such terrible things in the name of fashion :ohdear:.

I think she forgot that hoop skirts are supposed to be underneath the dress, not on top of it.

Stories with exactly one male character are almost universally worse than stories with gender balance or all female casts. I'm not optimistic.

It isn't that a one-man story is impossible to tell well, it's more that the mindset that leads to that decision tends to make kinda gross stories

O...kay? I don't necessarily agree in this case (I think there are arguments for and against both sides of this) but is there something in particular you're referring to here?

Ohhhh okay I get what you're saying - not stories with just one male character, but stories with one male character surrounded by women. Oh, yeah I totally agree that poo poo almost always sucks.

Oh yeah I guess that was unclear. Compile Heart almost exclusively makes horny games too which isn't necessarily a bad thing but increases the chances of the one-man many-women party being hosed up to almost 100%

I'm actually expecting the witch characters to have some kind of power level mode where they're in less than bikinis. Though I am already shocked that the dragons weren't little girls.

You're not the only dude. Aside from the three women that you can get close enough to sleep with (though in one case 'sleeping with' is a generous term) it's more about managing your relationships with everyone to get some sweet perks.

Plus it's not skeevy as gently caress, where every woman in the game wants your dick at all times.

Plus you can make them and everyone else hate you which is arguably better.

alpha protocol does let you charm a bunch of women into wanting to gently caress you but also everyone in alpha protocol is meant to be kind of a complete broken weirdo so there's that at least

i think some games handled it well, like most of the older tales games and ffx and stuff did a good job having the dude mc at least be a character in the story, but yeah then you definitely get stuff like symphonia where the "lead" is almost entirely irrelevant to anything

i like that shadow hearts starts with yuri just being like "yeah i'm a hosed up psychopath and i listen to a loud voice in my head, just gonna warn you right now" and every interaction he has in the first few hours is him getting pissed off and wanting to punch things

Atelier Iris 3 sucked for a lot of reasons but I always felt betrayed that after hyping up how cool Iris was for two games they don't even let her be the main character of her own loving game

It also has actual zero story connections to the other games in the subseries

Iris 3 has a different person who just happens to look the same and also be named Iris. That's the explanation

Atelier Iris 3 is the only game in the Grand Phantasm subseries. In Japan it had no number in the title and Atelier Iris 2 was titled Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2.
