Why do modern Japanese games resort to cheap eyecandy?

The market is more popular than ever. This sounds like you're coping. Don't you have a rainbow to draw on a failed superman comic?

"Sex sells" is not a new concept.

>3 years later
>still seething about Ryza
Let it go, user.
Also, the latest Atelier game has Sophie as the protagonist once again, so your point is invalid.

This, complete cherry-picking from OP. Marie is the first Atelier protagonist and she has big tits with more cleavage than Ryza. She only look less sexual because of the old art. The girl on the left is Elie, the protagonist of the second Atelier game. And while it's true that she's dressed more modestly, she had this girl in her party.

Oldschool Atelier was classy Shojo was prim and proper kawaii japanese ladies
Nu-Atelier is vile coomshit for Gacha addicts

Were brown girls already a thing in the 90s?

This is tasteful and classy as well as illustrated by a professional artist.
New Atelier is gachashit done illustrated by a pixiv hack.

Because it works.

>illustrated by a professional artist.
a professional artist is an artist that gets paid to do art
so by definition the person who made the new atelier art is a professional artist

The boomer Atelier had better artwork actually.

Yes, he's a brown girl from 1990

I said professional artist dumbass. Grow up.

No shit.
Boomer Atelier had a real artist doing the artwork not some amateur hobbyist who never was classically trained.

Right is a better, more memorable design. Even if you covered her up more.

Is this shit actually worth playing or should I just keep jerking it to the art?

To filter faggots.

>frogposter
Opinion discarded.
>seething this hard about chinese cartoons
You can't make this shit up.

This is the list for the old Atelier protags and anything comes after this is considered nu-Atelier.

Catering to markets. They know younger generation weebs are more retarded and hentai addict and will buy their game even if its shit using the coomer art.

>resort
the games got better as well.
better looking girls is just extra

I've never bought an atelier game until Ryza so it worked

Because how else am I supposed to get well rounded power on everything? Adventurers are shit at gathering and just bring back low quality garbage?

She's only 13 bro...

>time element is irrelevant
>Less gamey overall and non existent combat difficulty
The games became a dead franchise for long term fans.

Arland to Dusk is nu-Atelier, Mysterious is neo-nu-Atelier, Ryza is nu-neo-nu-Atelier, and Lulua/Sophie2 is alt-neo-nu-Atelier
It's simple.

>ryza
>cheap eyecandy
You know how rare is to find that kind of thicc thighs in jap games? That statement proves you are probably a westoid retard who owns a piss5.

dumb frogposter

>Frogposter voices his retarded opinion and still won't kill himself for the benefit of mankind

This doesn't negate what he said.

Becaause it looks good and it's fun.
And games should look good and be fun.

They were already a thing in the 80s

This post best post

I don't even play these games since there are too many to count; I feel really sorry for Atelier fans' wallets, but only faggots can't appreciate sexy females.

Atelier in the old days was a series aimed squarely at women. But eventually, the developers realized that men played the games just as much, and decided to give them something to chew on as well, by introducing fanservice. Ryza was the most standout example due to her design, and she went viral too, achieving sales never before seen in the series.

Good girls who turn into baad sluts is hot

>Generic anime girls with black hair
Boring

The panty shot blocker in photo mode is ridiculously aggressive

>They're also an outlet for my cross dressing fantasies
As long as you are cute this is fine.

Is there any way to mod it? I'm getting annoyed by it. I think I'm going to leave a bad review but I'm worried what my coworkers might think

The old games also had girls with big tits in skimpy outfits, they were just not the protagonists.

>that flatness of the ass on the far right

Why?

is there an infographic showing what games are actually good or some sort of ranking?

Women are so driven by envy they'd complain about the boobs on the left anyways. So why not give men more.

because people wanted more and more instant gratification
there are some other reasons why on a macro/socio level but that is a frankly gargantuan can of worms
Even though Japan had plenty of ecchi shit and whathave you, the more clothed women made the teasing and naughtiness just a little moreso
kids these days know very little of the true game of romance, much less what actual foreplay is(hint hint, it begins outside of the bedroom and doesn't involve heavy petting) so it's more about "what does this character immediately give me" and welp, that's where you get more and more people who want skin and booba
nothing wrong with it in principle. Women can be impossibly pretty. I like their hair and neckline. They are nice to look at.
but because it's keyed into sexuality, people get screaming defensive about it. I'd be happy with less fanservice these days, but any of that is shuffled under "SJW" so it's pointless to discuss most of the time.

thats how a real women looks like chud

You're responding to a cherry-picked image that doesn't reflect the reality of the series and as such your entire post is wrong.

God bless Japan and nuke my country.

and the now sell much more and have a fuckton of profit over statues

I'm not talking about Atelier at all, my nigga.
pretty snappy defensive response though

DAMN BRAT

They use waifubait to make for the fact that their games are garbage

oh nonononono OPbros our narrative

the games are better than smt tho

>cant even see her toes
worthless

Boobs are overrated.

The gameplay in atelier games have evolved and changed more than fucking Persona.

left s0ul
right s0uless

Video geams?

Mariechads still winning

>If you make a fun game you're not allowed to put cute girls in it

Cope and seethe zoomer.
You will never know what real art looks like because you grew up consuming low-tier sweatshop works produced by deviantart-tier pixiv hacks.

Indeed, the newer ones are far better.

just stick to the OLD good NEW bad formula

I like the girl with the cute hat!

What happened to modern men who don't like fanservice? Do you have such terrible relationships with your wife/gf that they think you will leave them for a video game?

that doesn't even make sense

the artist they picked for Atelier Lilie is so ugly, I don't think I could get myself to play that one
even the 2 PS1 games look better

Atelier Ryza is one the most wholesome games ever and theres nothing lewd about it
