Bruno really just shows up to destroy his clothes for us and run away. Thanks to Grima too for doing that. Reasons I made myself get his Halloween alt XD
Thank you for advocating for hot men in FEH. Firstly, as part of the female demographic playing FEH, I always feel sad seeing all the men, amazing Fire Emblem men getting shafted mostly into the demote territory despite it being good because it means I spend less orbs on them. But secondly, art department wise, I gotta admit, I don't mind the way most are drawn. It really depends on the characters since if I see my favorite FE men being drawn a certain way, then I'm all for it.
This is interesting cuz it feels like they go out of their way sometimes to ignore opportunities for a little male sexualization like the combat artwork for Balthus almost completely covers up his abs like what're you doing
We also need to speak about how the new Heroes OC for each book has consistently been a woman since… forever. I need one hot guy I’m BEGGING. Also give some credit to Spring Alfonse, his bulge is carrying that event too🥴
I think there's a new male character being introduced in book 8. You can see a little bit of him in the book 8 promo art but we didn't see him in the trailer 😭 And I think he's drawn by yusuke kozaki who's given really nice art of men with askr and bruno. (Edit: spring alfonse too LOL)
@@crrispychips Yeah I just meant the new main character of each book. I’m really excited for that guy, though. I think Kozaki does a majority of the Heroes OC art and he always does amazing
@@Rafa520_I fear it's cause of marketing reasons. the main target audiences of gatcha games are straight men so Feh always has to have a new female OC to put on the app icon in order to "lure" new unsuspecting players
am straight man but im always confused as to why they dont do more bara content. Ippei is probably the single most popular artist in FEH and all he does is bara. Also pour one out for my homie Dieck, who is literally doing a body builder pose while shirtless in his neutral art, but didnt get mentioned in the vid smh
Ippei is a damn blessing to the community (and he even did a few posts/AMAs in the subreddit that I am no longer a part of because I stopped playing FEH).
I love your presentation style! Subscribed. Regarding FEH, I'm bisexual, so I have to admit that the waifu bait can get me sometimes (I am not immune to pretty PNGs haha), but I'm also in the fem demographic and it gets exhausting to see the same women put in the same skimpy clothes over and over. There has been a small uptick in male fanservice (as you mentioned... Hostile Springs Ryoma, Plegian Raphael, and Askr... just Askr. Lol. Oh and Pirate Surtr) come to mind, but it is heavily outweighed by the weight of Camilla's big fat... fan appeal. I've also seen what I would call of a "retroactive waifu-ification" of older female units, such as Catria, Lyn, and Micaiah, which gives them more art and attention, sure, but it poses the same issue I have with Camilla. It strips all of their other character traits, and arguably what even makes them appealing in the first place, away. Camilla in Fates isn't only an "ara ara Onee-san" like FEH wants us to think, she's actually quite vicious and dark and compelling and traumatised, like all the Nohr siblings. She's unforgiving and selfish and unfortunately all of this is forgotten because she's being pushed into a stereotype. I still love FEH - it's one of the only places to get reliable art and content featuring otherwise forgotten entries in the series - and from my experience with (too many) gacha games, it's actually pretty rewarding for F2P. However it has glaring issues, and selling out for unbalanced fanservice is one of them. I'm right there with you, I think all adult characters should be fair game for fanservice, not just women and sometimes men!
The day the first Summer Scramble alts dropped and online freaked out, I showed my online, but not terminally so, friend a picture of Swimsuit Frederick, asking them if they found Freddy hot. And their response; something that rings in my mind to this day, seven years later: "This is a cartoon man."
LOVING the okuma yugo appreciation he's my hero. my fire emblem hero, if you will. especially as a certified grima enjoyer. which might have started because of okuma's art honestly.... he knows what's UP.
Finally, the real pressing FEH discussions are taking place Honestly surprised you didn't mention Formortiis here, but I suppose that entails a very particular level of gay brainrot that I have become accustomed to Also special shoutout to Askr just being the best character- man would absolutely tuck you into bed
Blessed be Okuma Yugo for his art in this game. I also agree with your comment on trying to find beauty with older or fatter characters too. The former would be easier, we still need guys like Athos and Nomah to even get their base forms in the game still. Just give me one banner with all the wise old dudes and dragons still showing us they still got it.
Feh used to be the only gacha game I had genuine fun playing. Sadly the game was becoming increasingly unfriendly to f2p players so I ended up abandoning it. One of my main complains on the game was the lack of male fanservice, seeing Camilla get her 6th alt (btw, did you know she has 10 alts now? The favoritism is insane) was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
I’m unquestionably glad I was getting to that point where excessive fan service was a turnoff, but also that I was cynical about FEH from the start; means my heart wasn’t broken by it.
@@borjankosarac3645I played from the beginning (when cavalry was meta). I stopped playing when the weapons and skills text got eternal. I think it was the time that fallen edelgard was introduced.
it's still sorta playable depending on what you're into, like you can do enough to get enough orbs to get some cool units in events, but the power creep is ridiculous sometimes. i fought i think the new Marth and it felt like between all his skills he was impossible to beat unless you had the same Marth :l
Furries see how mainstream artists oversexualize women and say "fine, we'll do it with men since no one else will!" (Also your voice is so vibing you remind me of my therapist)
Okuma Yugo was feeding us so well. I was a little sad they didnt do the brave robin art (i love sachiko wada tho. the thigh high boots are everything to me) and DEVASTATED when they didn't do anniversary art this year 😭
Also I like to think that yusuke kozaki has some pretty good range in regards to drawing different body types. Like yeah he is responsible for camilla's art in fates, but he also gave us muscular women with nótt and dagr, embla not just being skinny but visibly bony, candace being a very cute fat woman in fates... askr, gustav, and bruno being some very nice muscular men and let's not forget the spring alfonse bulge 😂
The Easter character designs are the craziest ones. I played for years until I got rid of my phone. I suppose not a lot of hot men, because hot women appeal more to the "whales". You can absolutely blow on the characters in Fates to "wake them up", very funny to do to husband characters haha.
Some of the banners are based on regions from other fire emblem games so the sheer banner Raphael and Kris are on is based on Plegia. (The Dark mage kingdom from awakening) so it’s kinda ment to be something like Tharja’s clothes. But for guys haha
What an *interesting* look at character. Reminds of a video analysing Lyn’s designs over time. Videos like these aren’t very common to me. Most opinions I see a random remarks in other videos or Twitter.
I paired up s!shez with s!ephraim last year bc theyre the only males that we got on those summer banners😢, but yeah, more abs and male buts please intelligent systems, or more men in general really😌
I love Xander, and tbh when I got Summer Xander I laughed at the almost comedic shortness of his swim trunks. I’ve also seen some spicy edits of some of the regular art and the damage art that got me like 😳😳😳 Also the fact that Plegia Raphael is the only version of Raphael is hilarious and I will take it. I love my men big.
Look, I won't lie... I was just waiting for both Dorcas and Kris mentions. Maybe Freddy too but that's a big personal bias as someone who married him in their first Awakening playthrough. Though, yeah, the Dorcas and Kris alts are 100% on opposite sides of my spectrum of preference but with equal magnitude of attraction (well, kinda, because I will not be the homewrecker to rid Dorcas of his wife, but I can still dream).
Omg okay the Robin arts, we’re eating a bit! I just don’t get it, like the male whales who play this game probably aren’t gonna live for a man who’s not dressed sexy anyway, so why not disregard them and just go full himbo? Make them hot! It’s so odd seeing the girls all exposed and then we barely get legs from men… we’re in the trenches, the people yearn for GRISS/GREGORY Also ctfu that I very popular Engage ship was Griss x Diamant even though they don’t interact whatsoever There’s so many characters fit for this treatment though… we need a male sage and a male warrior from Engage; I vote Mauvier and Boucheron honestly. Those outfits are begging for heroes art likeeeee come on! And I’m so sick of long trunks for beach art, we need Vander or Bunet in those short Engage trunks. The material is here! We just need to be fed
Yeah they don’t ALL need to be hot but let’s even the playing field lmao. Also I was so shocked that engage has been out for over a year and there are so few of those characters in heroes like I didn’t think engage flopped THAT hard. Especially bc they can capitalize on those fits
I will say that summer Dimitri is cooking, also if they don't make CYL Felix hot I will be upset. I like my hot women as much as the next pansexual but damn are we lacking on men lately.
Bro for real! Tired of all the big tiddy units in the game. Drives my dysphoria insane! I'm personally tired of the mega sexualization of the girls and giving them like anything higher than a D cup...female Corrin in particular comes to mind. (Camilla, too, but she's a different issue) FemCorn's breasts are not that big, Intelligent Systems. >__> They're a B at best. I'm just making the point: Look at Fates, Warriors, Smash, Engage's models. She's small. Hell even her figma is highly sexual...ew. Drives me nuts.Characters are more than the T and A people. Or the other units that get overly sexualized - Rinkah - and the OCs that are made as hentai bait. (They did her dirty making her mega big chested. Come on now.) Where's the hot dudes? ....give Jakob/Joker another alt, you cowards! It's been since 2017! Or give him a duo unit with male Corrin??? It's implied he loves Corrin regardless of gender (minus gameplay bullshit) so yaoi bait Jokamu would be epic! We got Chrobin, so why not! Or even some Three Houses or Engage gay ships. I remember seeing this adorable Alear and Alfred alt that someone made....boy that'd be adorable!
At least Camilla is canonically busty and that's basically her entire character. Though giving every female character Camilla-sized breasts is so concerning. The one that irks me the most is Summer Byleth and Rhea duo. Like why are the mother-daughter duo having their tiddies out with thongs? Byleth isn't even that busty with C cups at most, but then she's got double Ds during the summer.
@@inplane9970 Yeah that's why I said in the sense Camilla is another issue entirely. (Still has a heccing ton of alts!) That Camilla is the "standard" for sex appeal thus why most units are getting turned into a "Camilla" in terms of body type. Oof. I know what you mean, too. I have the same summon unit and I've used Summer Byleth a bit in the past. It's kinda in your face when you're using them. Yeah FemByleth isn't mega busty either. Her smash and Houses/Hopes model isn't even like that. I don't think Rhea is either??? Thicc most probably but not busty.
A bit of brutal honesty here, but if you want to know why they don't sexualize men as much as women then look no further than the banner sales. When they do give you what you want it comes at the cost. The space that that male male character takes up could have been taken by female character that would make twice the amount as a male character. It's one thing to say that you'd like a male character and it's another thing completely to be willing to spend money on them. You yourself made it clear, you don't play FEH you are the former group therefore the FEH devs don't feel the need to cater to your preferences because well you aren't a customer. The true reason why they avoid giving male avatars summer alts and Leggos is because they know that they won't sell and there aren't many male characters that will do well on a banner. And this is the truth as both MByleth and MRobin had terrible banner sales for their Legendaries and that was in spite of them being meta defining. The second one being especially egregious because he actually won CYL for that year.
Thanks to Bruno for showing his abs constantly in his damage art

11:00 the way I was absolutely not seeing the appeal then the very simultaneous "oh." From the damage art really did it for me
YEAH Robin is very vulnerable in a sub+breedable kind of way 😂
Raphael, Deen and Kris are from a desert festival theme 🤓
The people with enough sense to NOT play FEH are the people with enough taste to be a valid CYL voter.
