I mean, the first one might be a tad overdesigned, but otherwise what is the problem?

First one would be fine, if she had actual pants/skirt. I don't see anything too wrong with the second. The third one looks silly, though also reminds me of Faust from Guilty Gear, so I'm guessing that's intentional.

I think it speaks volumes of the problem with these designs if you guys think they're normal >_> their revealing outfits don't serve any purpose whatsoever, in fact only the third girl's outfit is commented on in-game and even then, only because she's wearing a box. Normalizing shit like this is not okay, imo. These designs are not okay. I wanna play games without being made to feel like a pervert. It's not like I bought an erotic or hentai game, it's just a regular JRPG.

Those designs are just ugly.

Rusty is my favorite Stella Glow character, but yes the designs can get pretty odd/fanservice-y. Popo's first outfit and Hilda's second bother me more than Nonoka's.

So do the tuning cutscenes not weird you out?

The animation is a bit weird but Im so far okay with it, the tuning sequences inside the tuning hall are a huge metaphor for sex. Theres no way this is by accident, even. This game is clearly meant to be a harem-style story, with everyone wanting to jump Altos bones. Hell, when they showed Lisette and Popo in a nightgown I got really annoyed lol

To be clear, I do enjoy hentai and such things, but I think theres a limit to how pornographic you should design a non-ero game >_>

Ehh... I wouldn't say JRPGs completely are a mistake... this heavy-jpop dating sim loli harem era can gtfo though.

Less ridiculously sexualized tween girls with insane weapons, more well-written stuff like Lost Odyssey where characters actually have deep personalities.

On that note, one thing that bothered me with Tales of Symphonia vs. Tales of the Abyss was how much cuter the monsters appeared to be in Abyss. Such as in the opening where it showed the characters ripping apart these Pokemon-looking creatures.

Yeah, that would be ideal. I wonder if there is anything like that in the modern era.

The first one isn't prepubescent. She is just flat chested.

They're from Stella Glow on the 3DS.

Unless she's got eight nipples, that outfit makes no sense.

Rule of Cool above all else in video games. They give her that outfit because they thought the design was cool and villainous.

Her second outfit that you can get after recruiting her and giving her a class promotion, looks like a wedding dress instead of a grim reaper witch.

The game does revolve around teenage elemental witches who sing songs of power to perform magical feats. So, they kind of play up the cute and colorful factor a lot.

I haven't thought much about how some JRPG's are getting more fanservice-y/waifubait stuff outside of Fire Emblem, but I hope it doesn't spread to too much of the stuff I'm a fan of. I never played any Xeno games but I've seen tons of complaints about Mythra's outfit from Xenoboob Chronicles 2.

I was thinking of getting Stella Glow when I was waiting for Fire Emblem but I didn't think too much of it after I tried out the demo. I only ever bought it because I got too invested in the story after I was watching a playthrough. It's an easy game with music and characters I like(Rusty and the fire witch are my favorite), but I still enjoyed it. How far are you TC?

I played Stella Glow over a year ago. It was alright. More than a little on the easy side.

Archibald, Sakuya, and Lisette were my favorite characters.

I'm in the Gohra Volcano mission, the one just after Nonoka was trying to fight Alto for being near Sakuya.
Rusty is pretty good, I like Ewan too (but lol that tail thing).
Trying to decide if I'll do two playthroughs so I can max out affection with everyone afterwards.
