lulz I dont see how Alma is complex, she cant even talk.
She overcomes her lust/temptation for power to sacrifice herself and save her sister.
2D dimensional at best, but that's as good as Rachel ever gets, either.
Anyways I understand that you don't like Rachel, that's perfectly fine, but a lot of people do, so stop trying to make people feel bad for liking her.
I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad for liking her.
I am, however, tired of people trying to make me feel like I'm somehow obligated to like for reasons that don't exist.
Saying that she's nothing more than a blonde bimbo bondage fetish is just baseless ignorance,
No, it's pretty spot-on. If you met Itagaki and asked him what he had in mind when he designed the "character," I'm pretty sure he'd say the exact same thing I said. Boobage. If there is anything else (which I'm very skeptical to believe), it was an afterthought.
there are characters in DOA that are just as provocatively designed but 10x more explicit.
Um, nope. Not to say that the other girls aren't sexualized or that that was a (or the) primary design focus of their character's visual design, but:
1) I wasn't forced to play atrocious segments with them in NG
2) They at least feel slightly unique to me
3) None are as pointlessly "in-your-face" sexualized as Rachel by a landslide. At best you'd convince me equal, but even then it would be a hard sell
4) They didn't really take a spot Tengu deserved
So I think it's best for you to just accept that Rachel is here to stay.
I have, which is why if bimbo-tits is gonna be in there I think they ought to at least give her SOMETHING to make her more interesting, which in my opinion would be an Alma "skin."
Yes please stop, it gets really annoying everytime Rachel is brought up
You don't say.
Anyway, I'll make this clear one final time: I do not like Rachel. I do not see how anyone would. But, people like different things. If you've deluded yourself into thinking she is well-written or whatever, that's fine. I don't care. But since she's going to be in there, I would like her with an Alma costume. If you don't like that look for her, okay. Don't use it. But I think it would be funny.
