I like most of Inomata's work, but quite a few of the handheld designs do stand out as being really nice. Not a fan of QQ's design though.
Oissu!Yeah, I dunno what happened to her. Bikini gal with dark skin and...a Big Boss eyepatch? uh.
Spada's outfit is best, mainly because of his hat.
Song of the SirensHe even got his beret as DLC in Xillia 2.
Inomata's designs tend to work in other games. Dunno why he made Shing look so much like Jaden Yuki though. Or why he gave Jadeite this odd looking triangular mouth.
Kor looks fine IMO, he certainly looks his role. Hisui looks a little funky in some of his character promo art, looks too grumpy, his ingame stuff looks just fine.
Nah I wasn't knocking Shing's design, I just pointed out his similarities.
Amber is just so pwetty tho
It's alright to call them Kohaku and Hisui, y'know. Feel free to make Tsukihime jokes too.
Song of the SirensIts probably because of that that I don't call them that. Oh and Amber and Jadeite sound better to me.
The other way allows for a bunch of Sailor Moon jokes tho, dunno which is better.
Oissu!I'd go for the Sailor Moon jokes myself. And like I said, Amber is a nicer name that rolls off the tongue better.
It's true, Kohak/Kohaku is not the nicest in English.
Oissu!They already had her as Amber in Graces, why change it?
Because Jadeite doesn't sound like a name and Jade was taken.
Song of the SirensYeah I like Kohaku and Hisui considering how often their names are said in the game without a dub. Kor however >.>
Jadeite was a fine name in Sailor Moon tho... Kohaku is terrible in English though. And there was no reason for the Shing/Kor situation.
Oissu!Waaaa! *startled* Fifty new posts when I wasn't looking!
So a new guy wants Tales games. Why has no one talked about the (European only?) bundles (Symphonia Chronicles + Graces on one, Xillia 1+2 the other?) on a clear manner? The best part is: FIVE FULL TALES GAMES for little less than 60 bucks. 60 bucks!
So okay, Abyss 3DS is great, get it for around 30 bucks. Or that's what these guys told me. Hearts R is also the best thing to play on Vita, but that's the issue: the West hates the Vita. That means a lot of Catch 22 shit... (People don't buy Vitas because 'it has no gaems', companies don't localize them because people don't buy Vitas...)
Ah, the DS trilogy / name conventions. Tempest is... So Bad Its Average. It really looks like it was incomplete, not tested or whatever. Innocence DS has the best 3D battle system this side of Vesperia, but the most AWFUL copypasted-rooms puzzle-less dungeons. And for the changes in the Hearts DS-Vita transition... they were weird at least and unneeded at worst.
Funny... I call her Kohak (silent U) because there was this Inuyasha character called that, who I refer to as Kohaku (loud U) so the pronunciation stuck.

Copying from one place is 'plagiarism'. Copying from several places, 'research'.Innocence DS is not worth it. Easily one of the weakest motherships.
R was wonderful. Lots of fun and Kongwai is gorgeous.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerPlus cameo costumes, some of which AREN'T Leon and Yuri, amazingly.
I'll tell you one gaff with ACS. NO RUTEE. C'mon guys.
Yeah, he's nice looking. That's one plus that works. His design is less "slap shit together and see what works" like QQ's was.
Yeah when Inomata does right, it looks good. Except for Stahn's itty bitty waist. Especially his VS art. What the fuck happened man is he wearing a corset under that armour?
I wonder when we're going to get more info on Berseria. TGS, perhaps? I just want to see some gameplay.
Maybe gameplay and ally information. Like if we had one guy who's a pirate, his English voice would be Brandon Keener so we'd have Pirate Garrus. At least, I think that'd be cool. Yanno if he didn't take away Velvet's screentime.
Team Symphonia likes to clutter their games with easy-to-miss sidequests/scenes, so click on stuff.
Plus Innocence in general has great character designs. I've already stated that, as much as I don't like Iria I think her design is great and Ricardo looks pretty cool if you're into black trenchcoat mercs striaght out of a 90s comic. Even Luca is great and his design is basically just a kiddified ripoff of Future Trunks.
