A Closer Look at Dragon's Crown's Cast

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Come on, August. I've been waiting for two years. I need this game inside me already.

 

[piinyouri]

I really like the art style used throughout the game. It has a slight Michelangelo'ian touch to it.

Oh wow, you are right there.
I never was aware of that. : o

I expect the Amazon will spark some debate, as she looks like the kind of horrendous apparition Sir MixaLot would see in his fever dreams if you were to spike his gin with mescaline.

The other day I was having a discussion with a friend on how female designs in video games always follow the default skinny slender build, at best being athletic. Look at fighting games - male rosters tend to be immensely varied, while female designs fall either in the boobs-larger-than-her-head or loli jailbait category, with a few athletic builds thrown in. It was particularly egregious in Anarchy Reigns as Yahtzee pointed out - the men has arms like tree trunks, while the women were all fit to be lingerie models.

In this kind of environment, wouldn't you say the Amazon's hyper-muscular design is fairly... progressive? Trust me, I'm no fan of this game's art style, but the Amazon is certainly intriguing.

It only works for the Amazon if she didn't have the head of a child

Oh hey look. There is actually an aesthetically pleasing and colorful game here. Who knew?

 

[dmase]

I feel like the only reason this game is getting any attention is because of the gender issues. I mean seriously this game would fade into obscurity if not for everyone throwing a ***** fit about disproportional characters.

Yeah, it's a pity those are getting rarer as of late.

Pretty much this. I mean, I had heard of the game throughout the internet but had not really paid much attention. This kicker is, these character models are the SAME that they used in the E3 announcement video in 2011! two thousand and frakking eleven, and NOW its a problem?!

I should really buy a PS3. I am loving the art in this game and no I am not talking about the over exaggerated features, though those are nice too.
What can I say I am a sucker for games that include beautiful vibrant stylised hand drawn art like this game and Rayman and Bastion.

I-No from Guilty Gear, if you're familiar with that.

I think they fucked it up by giving her sexy pose promo art, but I guess its progress anyway. (And on a totally unrelated issue nobody here but me cares about, she actually comes pretty close to looking strong, instead of vain like most of the crap art we get of supposedly strong men, her obliques seem to be missing though).

It only works for the Amazon if she didn't have the head of a child

She's meant to have a huge body and a normal head I think, look at Kratos for comparison.

No, I mean she has the face of a child.


She has the head of a small girl.

She has the head of a small girl.

Don't most anime characters have those child-like large-eye features?

If I know my japanese seiyus the sorceress is voiced by Kikuko Inoue.

She has voiced Belldandy in Ah!My Goddess, Virgillia from Umineko and not to mention all the other ones she has voiced.


OT: No Euro relase date? Damn it, It seems that we get the short end of the stick again.
