Shift up is the only company that can properly translate 2D to 3D

take character from an aesthetic known for its large eyes, thin lips, and almost nonexistent nose

give her squinty eyes, a pug nose, and fat lips

I dunno, chief. Seems like someone missed the point.

Yesss

Negroes wish they looked like that

just looks like a cosplayer

arr r rook same

squinty

How is that squinty you big lipped napoy haired negro? Are you squinting?

Blacks are so ugly

ShitUp are retarded

we love that

trying to make 2D 3D is always a horrible idea

Nikke is Shift Up's flagship game

serial shiteater asks why all their food looks like shit

Gee, I dunno, chief.

I didn't say they're ugly, I said they're generic

"Generic" is more often than not positive.
"Unique" is more often than not negative.

Tried and true form that follows function design will always beat quirky, one of a kind thing that was never accepted in wider usage.

i thought this ad was a parody

squinty eyes

You're a mongrel. Just because her eyes have cute epicanthic folds doesn't mean they're "squinting". You're just reading the racist checklist despite it not applying.

fat lips

You're a mongrel. Full lips are normal and feminine. It's only bad if they're protruding, which they aren't in this case.

no we don't

Eh, not really.

Square enix did it first

seethe lol

lol
LMAO

projects

game already failed once, shift up needs to salvage it with gacha

no thanks, karen

should have been scarlet negro not the drunk

This image has always been funn because the jawline for asians is off compared to the real pictures.

Dishonest picture

It's not a good game, and of course they are going to want to shove the actual popular gacha into the mediocre Nier clone that barely broke a million sales

Kingdom Hearts bro, like 60% of the lore is stuck in gacha hell but still want you to know it and lets not even talk about NieR

I love vidya women

I don’t understand why they picked that second pic for the Asian, looks like a dude

Anime characters are white, they failed.

3D Scarlet is more white than 2D. are you blind.

posts a video full of makeup AND filters

Anon...

chun looking so fucking breedable bros

Scarlet even speaks in ye olde japanese like a samurai.

I mean she is a fucking samurai. Why is Anon Babble the only place that hates asian women? Every else is saying she looks gorgeous

Asia gets it.
Western devs would never

Putting Stettar Blade characters look like they have downs when they're next to other attractive women.

They try so hard to make these bitches sexy, it comes off as desperate and it turns me off.

The original character is from a coomer gacha to begin with.

Hey browncel
You'll never be white and you'll never have a white gf

Why are Asian chicks so hot?

Okay, here's another one

Very feminine and you'll notice they never market them showing angry distorted faces like you see in west where a strong woman has to be screaming like a monkey. A strong woman in the east is usually either rich, elegant, smart or a mixture of all but sometimes if shown as a brute, she still comes off as tomboyish but never to the point of coming off like a man. Not saying the west cant do this, they still do, but big entities are trying to rehabilitate into thinking women arent supposed to be feminine and are just equals to males in terms of psychology and physiology.

Giant manjaw

why do you guys insist with this whore?

Nta but she's the closest ideal to a blonde pale beauty that asia worships so much. Dont have a problem with that.

Looks nothing alike.

Hongbuki...

my heart

Scarlet (western name)

It's an asian girl with samurai motiff

Not a single red element design

What were they thinking?

A woman smiling and looking you in the eye goes a long way to attract attention, usually never fails. It's basic marketing tactic.
Why does the west always make women squirm in anger?

she used to have some red

wrong eye and hair color

eyebrows thicker for some reason

Insane DSLs for no reason

HEAVY amount of makeup when Nikke version just has her lashes done

But it's ok because muh yellow fever.

this

White women aren't going to fuck, Pajeet.

look at my AI pictures, the totally prove my point

Narrator: They proved nothing at all.

insane DSLs

my dick

She turns her sword and the battlefield scarlet during her second phase. Also she did look red before

too gook on the left

Also, I really hope she's the hardest fight in the entire game, considering you have to pay 10 bucks just to access her fight

take the makeup off the two pigs on the right and they'd look like men

she looks retarded.

Make pretty women, make money.
It's really that easy.
The product itself being really polished, presented well and accessible to play is also a bonus. It's like other devs forgot that while you don't judge a book by its cover, the cover itself is what draws people to pick up the book in the first place. The packaging industry is multi billion dollar industry and has experts and professional psychologists finding stuff how to make products more appealing and easily attention grabbing to the average joe consumer.

I demand 3D eggs immediately!!!!!!!

I like her EN VA. I want to play Boom with her and then Boom her in the bed.

Didn't make the cut sadly. This is the issue with gachas going into a single player game. They have to sacrifice 99% of the cast to include either only the OGs that are instantly iconic to long time players of the game or the really really popular and memed characters. In this instance, we got Rapi and Anis for, but also Doro and Alice. Scarlet on the other hand is because she's the only nikke character who actually fights with a sword and would at home in stellar blade.

Japanese dub only available in Japan

I guess mods will fix that though

what if she ends up booming you in bed though

Nope. SB PC comes with EN, JP, KR and CN dubs.
youtu.be/_vkUnGLFSp0?si=TGPVKF36Yix9U5ZM&t=64
She literally sounds like an old timey samurai in the jp dub.

No 2 phase battle with S turning into SBS

Based. Hope it's still Reina Ueda doing it for JP. Sounds like they changed the EN voice actress.

One can hope.
It's a 10 dollar dlc but I wouldn't expect much. Then again I just thought the dlc would just be costumes and a boss fight but we're getting a full blown nikke mini game, a volt pet, a boss fight and that weird doro cameo at the end.

giving you 2-for-1 skin and boss fight for paid dlc

that's for 2nd dlc next year gaesekkiya

The original EN va for scarlet got replaced because of the VA strikes.

I love all my Good EN VAS getting changed randomly. God forbid I want to understand what they're saying.

used AI voices for later cutscenes and new skins interactions featuring old characters

I hate this (if it's true)

Blame that on the incredibly fickle english VA industry. It manages to have more goddamn drama going on every month than even hollywood.

Why she got such a huge heckin schnozer on 'er?

no commander (You) to call bocchan in stellar blade

Because you're comparing her to an anime character so your mind immediately compares her to her nearest equivalent instead of comparing the 3d character to other 3d characters.

It looks weird OP I think square hit the sweet spot between realistic 3d anime with ff7r even if the game is kinda shit

hes used to genshins lazy no nosed characters

Because we're in the midst of a culture war that no one wants to acknowledge is happening.

Like Mihara's new EN VA is so mid. Bring back her old one please.

Giraffe neck

you have lost your mind they're both good

I love Raven.

4 suddenly has an ahoge

Anime characters are highly stylized. They have no race, no real race has a mosquito bite nose, simple lines for a mouth and lack of lips, and china plate sized eyes. Trying to translate anime designs into more realistic ones is impossible because of how stylized and simplified the style is hence context matters a lot more. Anime characters of any race share the same type of stylization, see the Bondocks for black characters drawn in moe style.

Notice how one has an actual nose while the other doesn’t.

Hopefully all the attention nikke is getting from the dlc trailer garners interest in a proper big budget nikke game. I probably wouldn't want nikke to go full 3d but something with this presentation looks really fun. I would totally play this shit

The old one had a sultryness to it and made her sound older. She sounds somehow younger and less sultry now.

We're eating so good, yuriGODs

EN

no

Holy damn, get these shit up thotties out of there

I'd be all for a spin-off in a proven genre, like RTS, just with Nikke theming.

All in all, it depends on what type of nationality and race the character is supposed to be in the lore if you're going to translate her design into that of a 3d character, real or stylized otherwise. Hongbuki is a samurai so I'm fine with her looking asian. Meanwhile a 3D dorothy is someone I would imagine to look more french or british.

Sure, but this sort of argument goes out the window for most people in this new era where computers can create realistic digital humans like OP. You could create controversy with everyone depending on the ethnicity you design a realistic CGI character

The thing is that this is the only place I've seen people complain about scarlet's design because this is genuinely the only place I've seen people react negatively to asian women.
Every other place, even shitholes like twitter are loving her design and calls her really cute because she reminds her of their kpop/jpop idols.

Wait a minute...all the girls in the GuP universe are Japanese students. They're just larping for Panzerfahren.

always that one guy to find something to complain about with beautiful game characters, its like they cant accept the fact they look good and has to complain just to be "different"

While that is true, many of them purposely get make up or style themselves to a hardcore degree to look like the nations they're larping as. Do you seriously believe Katyusha is a blonde haired hapa?

i have never played nikke but i fap to the porn and listen to the music sometimes. the ost is quite good, actually..
can secondaries play this?

yes

The dlc is basically an entry point to get people to try out nikke.
Or maybe not play but a lot of normies are now talking because they want to get in on the memes that nikke players are talking about in the trailer and they have no clue on what doro is or who these characters are and they want in on that discussion. You know how discourse works these days.

Do you seriously believe Katyusha is a blonde haired hapa?

That's just anime hair. They put all sorts of colors on things and it's not supposed to be taken that seriously.

That looks NOTHING like Scarlet

I suppose but she also has blue eyes and yet the joke is that she doesn't know how to speak russian very well.
That said, fuck it. I'm posting the song.
youtube.com/watch?v=3rkn-xqhSDc

For me, it's edgy Scarlet.

Eh, too old for me.

For me it's her paid gacha costume.

are you serious you delusional newnigger?

face is generally kpop-ified

nose too prominent

chin mole (what?)

lipstick

grey eyes instead of gold (but this could be due to the lighting)

the ost is quite good, actually..

SB actually got me listening to nikke's ost because of recommendations. Like goddamn this is from a gacha?
youtube.com/watch?v=hK_6T-LzdbE
youtube.com/watch?v=0t1pYScEXGA
Really reminds me of MONACA's output

stop fucking comparing anime to irl shit you fucking pathetic tertiaries

The Dorothy outfit is the only good thing we're getting out of this, especially if they get the panties right

But if she had donned her usual garb she would have been swifter.

nose too prominent

Is there ever a 3d design that doesn't make a nose prominent unless you're specifically not going for a realistic design? Mind you this is the same game that has this guy around. Anymore anime and it would look completely out of place. Lily already looks like she doesn't belong in the game because of how stylized she looks like compared to everybody else.

you can tell they did a good job with her face with all the jealous females seething in here

I really want her to be a secret npc or boss

I'd take anything Nikke without gacha really.

I'd expect her nose to be more Asian. Asians typically don't have noses like this unless they get rhinoplasty. In addition, anime characters like Scarlet, being modelled after Asians, don't have noses like this unless viewed from extreme angles like a side profile. Instead, their noses are short and flattish.

Your picture absolutely demonstrates the opposite

post some examples then

Bet it's gonna be a reward from whatever quest that Doro makes you do. Probably have to chase it down and capture it

2 > 4 > 3 > 1

egg

unbelievable body

one note, awful personality

never been more turned off

What if nikke x gears?
Because that's what nikkers are best at, wall humping and stop n pop gameplay.......

it's the perfect note though. maybe you're gay.

Well many asians do have noses like that, especially younger generations who are more trendy. Maybe not physically like that but they hide it very well with make up or as you said, rhinoplasty. I genuinely believe Anon Babble's strict adherence to what races of peoples should look like is because of generational bias, just like boomers who think that all chinese people need to be very tawny and slit eyed and wear very oriental clothing.
I live in japan and models like scarlet are dime a dozen girls you can find on the street, especially those working at concept cafes who always hire the prettiest girls. This is simply what asian girls look like nowadays. It's like wondering why 90s japan was full of ganguro and gyarus, then the 2000s had a surge of emo and gothic lolita subcultures but now girls are into fairykei and other pastel colored outfits and makeup.

Finally, this is a fictional 3d character, and an android to boot, she doesn't have to look normal or natural. Kim just took the latest korean/japanese/chinese cosplayer he fancied on his twitter page, mocapped her and put her in the game.

This argument does not work when we're talking about CGI where anyone can design a character whoever they want

I'll never not fucking hate this image
Fuck you for posting it without a hint of irony, you actually believe such retarded bullshit
people come in all shapes and sizes and nationality has fuckall to do with this, there's some genetic generalities like slanted eyes or dark hair, but that's about it, being asian or western has nothing to do with how your jawline is shaped

Exactly, and since scarlet looks like a samurai, the devs just made her look asian.
This has far more merit than the whole tifa debacle because that has split fans who always viewed tifa as being white while square has since cemented tifa's looks based on the advent children movies and you know how square can be stubborn with regards to designs.

That reminds me, modern FF also knows how to design women without prominent noses.

The thing is SB scarlet doesn't have a prominent nose. You can see here in her side profile. You're confusing the shine on her nose bridge which is intended to make it look more pronounced which is what many young asian girls do today to make them look more inviting.

Scarlet was the top DPS for the first year of the gacha

Soon as she got crept by RH she literally got Black Shadow

Now she's Nikke's first retail crossover character

Should the Scarletdev be investigated or will we let him run wild like Helmdev?

almost 3 years and still a monster in pvp

helmdev was fucking obnoxious for a solid 6 months

three male troons at the bottom, try with real humans next time

Two white troons. Sorry mate that's not how women looks like despite what jesuit overlords told you

Why does the west always make women squirm in anger?

read about Ishtar, Moloch and Baal they are all mentally ill and are still worshipping their Babylonian gods

her name is translated. its whatever the fuck scarlet is in korean and guren in japan.

What are they gonna do now that the new KH gacha got cancelled?

inb4 Apple Arcade exclusive game

Anime characters are white

realistic

don't make me tap the jawbone monolith

Dorothy skin but no Doro

I guess mods will fix that
