first

That's a cute pirate

fuck off gamergate

So I can beat my meat to them

Weebfags love it as they provide fap material, they admit this themselves.

She looks terrible.

video games are the new freedom torches

People like female leads and there is no problem if done well.

The problem comes when people have them be stronk grrrrll who don't need no man whose sole purpose is to be an empowered grrl.

Cute girl protagonists are the best

Posting best girl

But that's a fucking terrible design?

What if the man she needs is a delicious shota?

If she doesn't want because she's a stronk womyn then it doesn't mean shit.

Men can't stand playing as men stronger and better than them so they retreat and try to salvage their pride by playing a submissive female character.

I really hope they have more than 5 characters for the party

>Have a perfectly good model of her in her soldier outfit with her hair up in a braid
>Go with gaudy stripper pirate outfit
>Expect anyone to take the edgy drama seriously

I still can't believe it.

>her shirt is going to get covered
WHY?!

nice vagina bones.

(You)

Why not?

Is this the actual worst design in a game? This makes early-mid 2000's nomura look like high art.

No it isn't.

because every single time they get captured, there's always the threat of rape

she reminds me of ryuko matoi

Japanese games have always had a sizable quantity of female MCs, though.

What seems to be the problem?

For most games it's to appeal to waifufags. In Berseria's case it's so that fujoshis have a character to self-insert as while they fantasize about /ss/ with the shota.

That crab's design doesn't seem so bad, unless Nomura had a thing for noodles.

You remind me of a weeb faggot.

thanks heaven, that means a lot coming from you

there's no yuri in this? What game was the one with lesbians?

Nights of azure

Vesperia has some implied girl's love

where the fuck is her nose?

>Belt made out of books

You can't make this shit up.

Yes, and?

>female protagonist
Into the trash it goes.

Welcome to most anime

fucking epic for the win bro, u roasted the shit out of him!! world starrrr!

lonely men.

Because they have officially ran out of ideas, when a franchise or somethign starts resorting to female protagonists, its a sign they have ran out of ideas and now going for brownie points instead, dump it like its fucking hot if you have any sense of self respect for yourself as a person, and as a man.

Ffxv is making a all boys group. And neptunia an all girls group. Both very radical and fresh

Wait, is that the first Tales game where they're actually using the character's 3D model instead of their artwork?

>An all men's party is radical and fresh
Read a fucking book, this was the standard team make up for centuries, millennial, the idea that a team needed a woman is a very recent, very toxic and undermining, idea. women should not be anywhere close to the action. I won't even explain why Neptunia is trash

There's also that one orange haired church bitch who looks like Rose.

>Having a female protagonist is somehow a new thing

Same reason others use male protagonists: people want to write a story using that gender.

The image in the OP is not the status screen. Looks like they show the character models for the equipment screen. Probably so that you can view their weapons in detail. Her status artwork is picture related.

Yo u mean being a complete bitch and being useless

Games have always had female protagonists, particularly with JRPGS.

It's one of the many problems with the cinematic nature of games that draws in a lot of movie fans who are pushing problems with movies into the video game realm. I hate that the feminism shit gets thrown around all the time, but I guess there's enough of a point to it with 16 year olds start replying and sending eachother death threats (like those have ever been fucking serious ever).

Video game is normie territory now and they're pushing Hollywood's problems onto video game devs who now have to try and cater to everyone while AAA shit becomes the status quo.

>Hurf durf muh ancient epics like Beowulf!!!
How fucking hipster are you?

Because we live in a society where females are seen as universally identifiable goddesses that are """""flawwed""""" but strong and beautiful that everyone would want to be, and that NO ONE would want to be a man.

Men are rude, loud, stupid, smelly, irresponsible, violent, and ugly, and are bad people by nature. They're not like women! Women are perfect and everyone should be like them, including the men.

I hate what this society has become. "Equality" my fucking ass.

Elliott, hating women just because you can't get laid is on you.

Tits are marketable.

Go to hell you disgusting piece of shit, you like this shit I bet you're going to love fucking Rogue one.

>Platforms: PS3, PS4, Windows

No Nintendo in sight. We're safe.

Because Japanese market has devolved into only pleasing small early-teen boys.

Calm down Elliott

The girls on the feminist video game podcast I listen to have noticed Ed that too, actually.

Like I want to deal with women, I'd sooner deal with a geriatric autist

It's absolutely nothing new in japanese game, they were here since forever.

Fujos are all about the boy love.

>cute girls can't be adventurers
The east is full of stories featuring female protagonists going on epic journeys, so of course they'd be more likely to feature female protagonists since it's less of a strange idea to them.

And oh, just because the Japs do it makes it alright? Heads up shithead, it doesn't.

>fujoshis
>wanting straight shota

I wish you faggots would stop using words that you don't know the meaning of.

...

Because it's current year. Why the fuck not?

What game?

>so many
They aren't. But I wish they did.
youtu.be/0-qd5EYpeRI
Magilou best girl.
The game needs some /u/.
That's all, I'm out.

>why do men want to look at women
is trick question

Well, Japanese game have traditionally had a 45/55 female/male split?
Nothing new in other words.

Are there any other video game girl characters that have a handblade similar to what is depicted in this pic?

Why do onee-sans like shotas so much?

big sister complex

It's Japan, they don't do it to push some SJW agenda like in muh strong empowered wymyn western games. They simply wanted to write a story with an attractive female MC.

Because market research shows that having female animu main characters brings in extreme mad dosh from the waifu crowd.

fuck off reddit

>The next Tales game is less fujoshit pandering than the next Final Fantasy and the next Persona

Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria

That boob window looks retarded and is not even sexy. I wish more games went for the Senran Kagura approach. Slutty but with a small hint of class.

> browse Sup Forums
> complain about weebshit
pick one faggot

>comes out two weeks or so before FF15 in Japan

Are we going to have a clash? How is Tales even seen as in Japan?

Tales is one of the more popular jrpg series. You have to remember there's a huge gap between Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Pokemon and everything else. Tales would be like #5 or 6

They do it to please the horny otakus. That's hardly any better.

One does it to further sales and the other does it for political reasons. Both make for bad games.

Not really. If you look at history and myths, 99.9% of adventurers and warring aristocrats were male. The guy you're responding to sounds oddly triggered, but he's not wrong.

>They do it to please the horny otakus.
hurr

Tales fanbase is mostly female.

>August 18 vs. September 30
>two weeks
What?

This.

The underboob is real.

Tales is a Fujoshi series nowadays. In Japan and also in Europe, I don't know about America.

Most people who play Tales in my country are girls or gay guys who then consume a lot of yaoi between the male characters.

This is like that since Tales of Symphonia

Which one gets the shota?

Because you're playing shitty games. Good games only have male protags.

Games have always had plenty of female protagonists stop acting like this is something new.

...

stopped playing these but i have a lot of free time on my hands coming up. which are the best ones after symphonia

People are importing more jap games
Steam is publishing more jap games (putting aside whether the dev is jap or weeb)
