Is this good character design or bad, bikini chain mail? What are you thoughts?

the entire game had visionary art

I really just forgot about the design when I started SPIN TO WIN
The grunts and yells were more sexy than the art anyway

It's great character design. Not because muh peepee hard, but because it is easily recognizable amongst the many muh peepee hard character designs.

I need to buy this game again when I get a PS4 or 5.

It's intentionally "bad", because the entire setting of the game is that of your average baby's first D&D session

>kill THE DRAGON
>go on quests
>standard bandits/monsters/wizards as enemies
>stereotypical traps of falling rocks and spikes
>demons that spit fire
>the church
>classic fantasy creatures all around
>your average friendly tavern
>the random wizard/wiseman that helps you as you help him
>even an entire boss being a Monty Python reference
>all of the character are super typical archetypes that new players would create (super buff warrior tank, edgy wizard, biki armor warrior woman, busty witch with a typical witch hat, super buff dwarf with a mega beard, your average wood elf with a bow)
And the list goes on. I don't get why people don't understand this off the bat.

I think they handled it masterfully, and with art quality being this high it also looks amazing.

Killer Rabbit and Gazer were the best bosses, followed by the Cyclopes.

>/int/ tourist doesn't understand memes
What a surprise.

It's a good design because it has a lot of great shape-play on the visually abstract plane, With a large sharp triangle outweighing all the curves.
This dangerous shape dominating the subconscious language scorresponds well with the clash of expection that face value design elements present.

Juicy lady, but she's not there for providing juice, but to squeeze it from you.

I like it quite a bit.

Not enough

Fuck! I will never understand why they are always referenced!? Doctor who, Minecraft, this game, etc. Heck, they even have a whole programming language named after them! What did they do that other British comedy troupes didn't???

With all fucking honesty, you have to be really fucking retarded or be a filthy pleb with not a single day on art class to not identify Vanillaware as goddamn geniuses at work. Their designs, coloring, art direction, UI; literally everything is the closest we have to high art on gaming.

FUN FACT. Literally +80% of Vanillaware employees are women. And they use CRT's for coloring. That's how fucking dedicated they are.

Have a killer rabbit

It's funny and easy to understand humor without being niche or controversial, what's not to like?

It's an homage to american illustrator Frank Frazetta. Most of the character artwork in Dragon's Crown is based on famous fantasy illustrators.

Is that why Sentinels 13 is in development hell?

it's a good amazon design, but the character art has dreadful proportions in some of the art / frames

not to mention the excessive muscles, i'm straight but i'd rather fuck a trap

this on the other hand is great

That's because she's in battle position. When she's relaxed and her rump muscles don't identify you as a threat, they soften up and become friendly, like

>kumbraiin
Try to not give yourself away next time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I fapped to it as much as I played it. Wish there were more good games with hyper sexualization that does not affect the story in any way.

>It's intentionally "bad",
>your average baby's first D&D session
you talk pretty disdainful about such an amazingly made game

Dragon's Crown was exactly about the revival of the fantasy side scroller dungeon crawlers from the 90's, like the Capcom DnD arcade games

the whole theme of Dragon's Crown is that it is supposed to feel "retro", and the sexual designs like Amazon's are also totally part of that

That should be her permanent position desu
What other purpose do females have

That's exactly what I said though, reinforcing how well it's made at the end of the post, which is why bad is in quotation marks too

Nah, really wonkey proportions, and very impractical battle atire

I never thought she was all that hot so it's a meh design. I even like snu-snu Amazon girls, but she just doesn't feel like one.
The sorceress and the fairy girl are hot as fuck though

Their humor has amazing shelf life, mostly.
Like, seriously, the semi-random, half nonsequitir, borderline surreal humor was Yea Forums's SHIT ten years ago, and so is now the general public's shit.

you literally called it's design bad, and just explained why it is like that
I get it that you still liked the game, but choose your words more carefully

Good
Vulnerable yet more than capable with those muscles, which matches her play style to a T

Vanillaware art isn't too complex other than the necromancer characters, it's relatively straightforward that stresses the strengths of ther characters and showcasing their weaknesses at the same time

Looks cool. I love Dragon's Crown art style.
It's only a problem for people obsessed with feminism.

Middle right

That weapon is too large!!!1

Yeah
She doesn't have the prettiest face, but the best lower body
Middle is fridge tier, but a nice face.

It's left for me too, but I could see 4 or 5 working.

>dat vein animation

I've actually never seen the dwarf in motion

4 is pure perfection, minus the tattoo

If fitting in, means telling it like it is then sure.
Other than that, men can do everything better.

The team at vanillaware is fairly small, and comprised mostly of artists, and the incredible George Kamitani, who is responsible for that characteristic art style with soft coloring and exaggerated proportions. This is why, when you think vanillaware, you think of their art. Most of their games are repetitive because the amount of time they spend drawing and hand-animating everything isn't conducive to making massive games. They cut corners by having you replay levels. It's why they needed to recoup their costs with that 13 Sentinels paid intro demo - they can't go a decade just drawing shit and not releasing anything.

Amazon is great character design because her appearance reflects her playstyle. She wears nearly no armour and has a quite lithe upper-body because she has awful defence and can't take hits well. She parries with her axe and that's her main form of attack, and she's a very attack-oriented character, so the axe is fucking huge. As a mobile and acrobatic fighter she has thick legs, and since her secondary attacks are kick-based she gets large, armoured boots. Compare to the Fighter, who is much more defensive and as such wears comically oversized armour, his sword is rather small since his attacks are weaker than most in the group, and despite having a massive upper-body for keeping his shield up his legs are comparatively small, reflecting his lack of agility and movement options. Dragon's Crown designs are top-tier.

Also since we're on the subject the running theme in Vware games of necromancers having big tiddies is complete genius.

Barbarian classes wear as little clothes as possible, yes.

There's not much about it, it's a standard female barbarian in a fantasy setting design.
Also people who bitch about practicality are retards who don't know what they are talking about, not only it's a fictional make-believe setting but also in the real world it was not uncommon throughout history for people and warrior tribes to fight with nothing more than bikinis or even nude like Celts or Zulus.
Infact if anything heavy armor for a regular adventurer is unrealistic, usually in most cultures heavy armor was reserved for officers, nobility or specialized troops.

Yes, that is bad character design, though not because of the chainmail bikini. This is what it would have looked like if it was a well designed character.

It is good character design, because you want to look at the context rather than a specific design in a vacuum. She is put next to other hyper-unrealistic character designs like Sorceress, Dwarf, and Fighter, so she fits in appropriately. Even someone like the Elf is fairly unrealistic, especially in what she can do.

The other aspect is that, even though she is drawn rather provocatively (for some people), she's not turned into lewd pandering or waifubait. She jumps around and swings her weapon and smashes enemies in the face, much like the rest of the cast. If she'd ended up pole dancing with the axe shaft, or sexy flirting with her chest, or swinging her ass all the time, then I'd question if she's being objectified. But that doesn't fit her character, and she isn't doing any of that - her design is being used in a tasteful manner. That's why, even though it is evocative, it is not a bad character design or a bad game it is in.

I want her to use hip attack or attack (mounted) on me

>Dragon's Crown released in 2013
Shit man give us a Dragon's Crown 2 already. Give us new characters plus bring back the old ones.

It's fantastic

not enough

Aren't they working on that high school mecha game? I'd honestly like to see them make new games rather than trying to come up with sequels to old ones. A Dragon's Crown port to PC would be nice, though, for the online functions there - perhaps include new characters or even new areas as DLC like they made with Musasama.

It looks retarded. The exaggerated jiggling and flexing of the breasts and legs are equivalent to that meme gif, "Mario Walk Cycle Upgraded" where his hat flaps wildly on his head.
Both male and female (and etc, I guess) character designs can competently display sexuality, but this is so ridiculous that you may as well just have a floating pair of breasts and thighs and hair. The obsession with the sexual element of it overpowers the other details of the design, in the same way an obnoxiously sweet frosting overpowers the rest of a pastry.

Fap before posting user.

her giant fucking halberd is all the armor she needs
when she's faster than Sanic and killing ancient dragons in one hit, armor just gets in the way
