Is Sekiro a manlet? Basically everyone in the game is taller than him.

Being tall isnt much of an advantage to a ninja. Though with bosses they are all usually larger than they actually are for intimidation and boss design. I think FROM has said as much.

Yes he is short

What's with miyazaki's obsession with making important characters freakishly huge. At least in Dark souls there was a lore justification (kind off), but in Sekiro it just makes no sense at all.

Same goes for Soulsborne games. MC are all manlets.

>mc is a manlet
>strongest in their game
what did From mean by this?

Soulsborne and Sekiro sucks.

Easier for you to see what enemies are doing.

ok buddy

From puts gameplay above form. So it means its easier to be a manlet than a big target.

>lore justification
Why does there have to be? Owl being a giant serves the purpose of:
1. Making him look intimidating
2. Making his tells for his attacks much easier to read

That's justification enough. Fuck lorefags and fuck people who think every single pixel and texture in the game has to have some kind of lore justification.

FROM games always have boss/enemy characters that are larger than the protagonist, even if they should be the same size. Makes it easier to see the enemy and make reads about their movements/attacks.

It's an anime thing, it just looks cool; I wish humans were like this, any 7ft+ people you see are always skeletons.

makes it easier to see them and indicates that they're important. Same reason bosses in WoW are huge, even when they're normal humanoids that should be the same size as PCs

They wouldn't be bosses if they were short

Yep. Even in fighting games, you very often see characters with limbs and weapons slightly bigger than normal to make their attacks easier to read.

You take that shit back. The Mad Midget Five are kino.

It means we have a chance, bros!!!

yes

they're indicating Japan is the greatest even though they're the smallest people ever

t. filtered by ogre

how tall was tamura, considering he towers over isshin

Considering how big Isshin is compared to Sekiro, just imagine how titanically huge general Tamura would be compared to him considering he was big enough that Isshin had to climb him in order to get a good shot at his neck.

It's a Japanese thing. The Hero is always diminutive in comparison to the Villain.

Anime does it all the time. Skinny Twink MC vs Freakish and Brutish Antagonist.

Yeah its a very old world thing, back in the old world having a big size meant you were an ogre and not really a man. Even the greeks frowned upon things like big dicks because it meant you were controlled by your penis.

Owl is fucking gigantic. There are other giants in the game too. Isshin is just tall though.

taller

but greeks loved all kind of dicks?

Why are tall people more obsessed with height than anyone else

He probably was malnourished for the most part growing up. It makes sense that he's one of the shortest characters if he was born a peasant in a war torn country

Never thought about it this way but it does make sense

It makes the enemies feel more dangerous. It's like Punch-Out playing as Little Mac

Why don't they make them darker skinned too

it's a video game

Because David vs Goliath and gameplay convenience.

owl is basically twice his size

It's actually both ways. Sekiro is barely about 5ft tall. The other important and strong fighters are all well over 6ft or 7ft. It gets even wilder when you start comparing Owl, True Monk and the okami at over 8ft.

Sekiro is taller than 5 feet lol.

Bosses are big. That's it.
