Ok so no androgyny teens, but the characters I see are:DrVornoff said:This unfortunately prompts a new question: Have any of those characters ever eaten or been out in the sun at all? The scrawny youth who is obviously still too young to buy booze is to Japan what the grizzled male with short brown hair is to the West.NiPah said:Here's some promotional art for three games NIS America just announced:
The classic angsty teenager character type is pretty much dead, you'll only see them pop up in 5 year old games getting brought over to the states. Hell even Square Enix is doing it (see FF13 X2's main character.
1. Teenage witch with tits, hat, and hair extremely out of proportion. Sexy fetish character
2. Cute 2-d loli girls with no defining differences (hair color is a common differentiating device in anime art...and its stupid)
3. Androngyny teens (wut?) and the boy is wearing a vest that my gay friend wouldn't ever wear because its that ridiculous. Why would anyone think someone would wear a vest that only is large enough to cover your nipples?
The bottom line about the whole "androngyny teens" thing is that some people just find the art design ridiculously silly for no apparent reason (besides the obvious fetish characters). Some may think its cool, but I think it looks like a tour bus crashed on its way to a fashion show. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Oh, and 13-2's main characters are a meterosexual Jonas Brother and a submissive rape-bait girl, both japanese stereotypes I've seen numerous times before.
