@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz @RobsteinOne y'know, just as someone passing by, it's even funnier to me because i think yoko taro - besides being wanting to be stepped on, bless 'im - does something very intentional with the sexy designs that is not what fans are thinking atelier games are doing
2b, kaine, zero - there is an intentional and purposeful juxtaposition there. it's a very intentional subversion at work, when each of them are getting sexy outfits. >

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz @RobsteinOne like is yoko taro horny also? well yes.
but story-wise they all are defying a very specific trope, of the fanservice woman who is there to only look pretty. 2b, zero, kaine - they're all there looking pretty, but are also honestly the key and essential movers and shakers in their respective plots, and all of them formidable warriors.
yoko taro packages them as disposable so the audience might write them off - to their peril.

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz @RobsteinOne but people are instead arguing that the atelier games should play the trope straight - present fanservice that IS fundamentally disposable to lure people in, whereas the taroverse is rife with women who are dressed skimpy-sexy but are definitely not the ineffectual fanservice that is expected.
trust me, i've never played any of these games and only watched some of nier automata/drakengard 3, i am clearly an expert 🧐
