Endorph posted:what's funny about Xillia is that the Milla thing seems entirely accidental. She was originally going to be emotionless and have to learn emotion from Jude until the female staff complained that that was stupid and they just wanted a cool slightly older female lead who was confident. And then everyone loved the Milla we actually got, so what I'm saying is they should have promoted those women. I hope the staff also said "we did that same poo poo with Hearts!"

For Thimbleweed Park one of the rewards was a phone book where you could record a personalized message so there's an item in-game with like 500 names and recorded voices it's pretty cool. al-azad fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jun 8, 2019 |

Endorph posted:95% of cutscenes in the game are exactly the same and you miss out on exactly two scenes if you do milla's route i kinda had to set the game down somewhat after the point everything breaks down and alvin shoots leia and the party splits for a bit cause it was too miserable for me, i figure that's one thing you wouldn't see as milla cause she's not there

ImpAtom posted:If I have learned anything from staff studio discussions it is that most to all JRPG developers need a group of women on staff whose entire job is to tell them to stop doing boring/dumb things or at least do different dumb things. sega should get a bunch of game dev women together again and let them make napple tale 2 and then loving do an hd rerelease of napple tale in english!!! it looks so loving cool, dammit!!! i wanna play a video game that looks like an artsy shoujo anime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmAETs2IbIo&t=229s I can't help but get Sonic Adventure flashbacks when I look at this game. The scale, camera angles, everything about this game looks like they used the exact same engine as the original SA and just replaced all the models even the jump has the exact same airtime and cadence to it

Playing thrugh Original Sin 2 as the elf lady and really reigning in her murder impulses for the redemptive path was quite satisfying.

That is true. Although the initial idea of having Millia be an emotionless drone who learns emotions from Jude is just plain bad. It reminds of a Level 5 project called gundam AGE, where they didn't listen to the female staff and thus every girl in that shitshow's purpose is to die and serve as motivation for the shonen protagonist.

Hey let’s be fair The girls’ other purpose in AGE was to pop out the next generation before dying

And they did this after Gundam SEED was the most wildly successful Gundam AU largely thanks to its female base? And after Wing also scored big with female fans? That's not just sexism, it's some staggering levels of incompetence.

basically every massively successful gundam has been tied to its female base because women have loved gundam since 0079 lol in interviews from recent years yoshiyuki tomino's talked about it and bitched about how so few people recognize it lol

Series from that point on have split the difference in pretty different ways (G was fairly successful but almost entirely with young boys and adult men, Wing and SEED are the big female appeal ones and both were actually popular with young girls as well as adult women, so on) but it's always been an undeniable part of the series.

I cant believe a show about men who have emotional needs and good looks who uphold romantic/chivalrous relationships with the people who support them who have their own agency and dignity is popular with something called <checks notes> women

Endorph posted:gundam as a franchise literally exists because of female fans. When 0079 had its run reduced and was quietly forgotten about, a small but dedicated female fanbase developed. Sunrise took notice of this and reran the series at a better timeslot in hopes of attracting more people like them, but the better timeslot meant it finally got a young male demo as well, and so they kept the series running and began selling better, slightly more expensive toys. The better build quality of the toys compared to usual mecha toys meant that the older female fans liked them, and the young boys just wanted toys of the cool robots they liked. So sales were high enough that they greenlit Zeta, which was also successful with both those groups. i still remember being roped into wing despite not liking giant robots at the time because it had cute boys, then my mecha interest just flew off from there

As a little kid due to only ever being exposed to Gundam via Wing I took a lot of convincing that not only was Gundam for boys but that so were robot shows in general; they're giant dolls you dress up for crying out loud! I also assumed Sailor Moon was for boys so my kid logic to understanding of the demographic targeting of these was subpar.
