Final details on my moon Korika. To be animated later on, but for now my eyes hurt.

Artbook Age Rosch is two kids stacked on top of each other with a halloween store rubber mask in a suit of armor 5x their size

Continuing progress on my Korika, who has yet to be named

I think Atlus is going for the crowd who buy Persona with this, honestly - the weird venn diagram of people who argue about "best girl" with people who enjoy good narratives and characters in games, and JRPG fans. Will it work? Ehh, who knows? At the very least I'm glad for the game seeing a wider audience however it gets it. (Also I would appreciate remake hate getting tagged. I know why people feel that way but it's not what I come into the tag to see orz)               

The thing is, it seems to me like appealing to the “best girl” crowd really has to be built into a story’s mechanics and structure, not just “make the girls more generically attractive.” You make a variety of cute girls, present the viewer with them, and invite them to choose their favorites. It works in Persona because of the dating-sim-esque social link mechanics, or in the shipping mechanics in recent Fire Emblem games, or in harem or moe anime which foregrounds a large cast of cute girls doing things. RH does not do that, and I think trying to appeal to that audience in that way isn’t going to work, because they’re looking for something it doesn’t actually provide. And at the same time, it’s undermining part of what made the game work- we can already see the storytelling and characterization taking a hit from this- so I’m afraid even if they do get part of the waifu demographic’s interest by increasing the Generically Cute/Sexy factor, they’re going to lose them again because of the lack of personality in the art.
