Yep, they are the cutest balls of fuzz.

Yes.

Honestly, all of Rouge's outfits have been great. Her standard outfit has catsuit elements, but set the tone for full body outfits for action girls in the series, and was nice contrast to Amy being more ladylike, with Blaze as a middle ground of the two. Heroes was probably her worst look, but it still had catsuit elements, and was improved upon greatly with Dash. The Luchadora and alt outfits in SA 2 knew their audience well, and her Riders and Witch outfits were great sportswear and costuming, respectively. Even Rebel Rouge and the other variants from Prime are great.

Outside of Heroes, I'm not sure what outfits of Rouge would be classified as ridiculous...

The coincidence of the real life animal actually having similar colors to her compared to blue and pink hedgehogs.

Rouge is always stealing the show.

Huh. Rouge is one of the few Sonic characters that doesn't have any red on her. The others are Espio, Charmy, Cream, and Cubot.

[up]I happened to find that outfit fun, even if it was trying too hard to be sexy, and stood out compared to Knux, Shadow, and Sonic getting spacesuits. Still, at least it wasn't Eggman's Run–D.M.C. outfit.

For an original character, I feel like this April Fool's product did a way better job than Forces attempted with the avatar. Making them a fan of the gang that's the butt monkey of the investigation, while not being treated like an empty proxy with no dialogue. It more than gets the job done.

Yeah this game really did do a good job at making the self insert feel part of the story.

It really was neat to see Sonic and friends from the POV of an average joe.

Speaking of outfits, if Sega were to redesign the cast for a generation of mainline games, It'd be interesting if they ventured beyond just gloves and shoes like your casual rubber hose toon. I remember seeing concept art for a SATAM reboot manga that had Sonic fitted with a bomber jacket. No, I'm not accounting for the Boom series for as much as I enjoyed that, a lot of characters still appeared nude-like. A lot of newer characters in IDW are draped up and I'd like to see something similar to the main cast.

It does get a bit wired for me where I see a crowd shot of the regulars and all the girls are dressed head to toe, and all the boys are naked save for shoes and gloves.

In Sonic the Comic Amy was often in different outfits, she had her green trousers and white t-shirt as her main outfit, but wore lots of others. So I see nothing wrong with other characters doing the same.

I'm against the idea of calling different outfits a different design...

It's not definitive enough.

I'm playing more of The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Gosh this game is so cute.

It's also funny seeing Shadow here after having read the first couple volumes of the IDW comics. I know it's been mentioned on this thread that this game makes him more Twitter Shadow than actual canon Shadow, but I like his characterization here more than his characterization in those comics. Though I also dig his Sonic Prime characterization.

Blaze is hilarious here. And she's got a really fun dynamic with Rouge. Speaking of whom, Rouge's outfit is incredible. Honestly all the outfits are really cute.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Part of me prefers that MoStH stays a one-off. It's a great game on its own, but much of its appeal was the surprise factor. Making it a regularly occurring thing risks ruining the charm.

On the other hand, fans made a low-budget story that's been met with a lot of positive reactions. We've been so starved for cast content I'd not mind Sega giving the go for more visual novels.

It doesn't have to be this specific type of game, but it sure is nice to have a smalled-scaled side game again after all this time.

It would be a shame if it was just a one-off. Games like these take a lot of pressure off the main platforming titles.

[up]x6 I mean, Sega only did the bare minimum for Sonic's modern design when Adventure dropped; Green eyes and a taller, slimmer physique. For 20+ years that's all we had and no, I'm not distinguishing 2D Modern and 3D Modern as separate designs.

All I see is Classic and Modern. That's probably why everyone's been scratching their heads trying to figure out what the devs meant by Sonic Frontiers being "3rd Generation."

I didn't really see anything particularly off about Shadow's characterization in the game. If anyone, I felt Blaze was the most off-character.
