Okay, just to make sure I keep at least PART of this post on topic, I managed to get the basic transcriptions of Episodes 3, 4, and 5 done. On a side note, not counting be friendly gravures or instances where they're paired against each other in the games, I think this is the first time Kasumi, Ayane, and Leifang have EVER directly interacted with each other in-story. Of course, I'm still going to need to do a more in-depth translation (ie, actually translate the dialogue rather than recording who says what). Also, each of the episodes are split into two scenes. Episodes 3 and 4 have Kasumi, as well as Ayane and Helena, conversing both times with Leifang, while Hitomi only appears in the first part of Episode 5, while in the second part, it's implied that Leifang's talking with the Owner. I do know that Leifang briefly takes offense to something Helena said in the first part, though, and Leifang mentions something that got Hitomi a bit embarrassed for some reason, not entirely sure what, though (and I probably won't find out until at LEAST November, if not January or February [preferably before the Valentine's Event, since I'll probably be busy during that time getting translations for Tamaki, Luna, and possibly Tina and/or Mila.], since I plan on doing full translations of the Event Episodes at that time after taking care of the Birthday episodes of at least the first ten characters plus Luna and Tamaki, possibly also Tina's birthday episode if it comes down to it should she come out.). Regarding the likelihood of Tina coming out, like I said, it's pretty much 50/50 regarding whether Tina is released in October, or another OC. I'm personally hoping for Tina to come out, mostly because, like I said, Team Ninja really needs to redeem itself of its stupidity regarding that wallpaper poll.
They aren't talking about the female having big boobs, it's easy to take things out of context... the way they move around is what is inhuman. It's like you're thinking, what direction can I take this into that gives me what I want without sounding like a complete pervert.
Congrats on being what's wrong with America today.
Didn't I just say we were going to go back to discussing Xtreme Venus Vacation? You want to have a discussion with me on this subject, PM me instead. And in any case, if you actually READ the quote, the immediate sentences before it literally dealt with big boobs and physical appearances, NOT how they moved about. Maybe I'll post the full quote, so that THIS time, you actually READ it.
At E3 2018, the only female characters available were Kasumi and Helena. I immediately gravitated towards the former, who's been the primary protagonist for the franchise since the
original 1996 game. Kasumi's facial structure looks a lot older in Dead or Alive 6, and her new body model is a physically fit teen and not the oversexed supermodel child it's been in the past. "The boobs are smaller as opposed to before because
we wanted the girls to appear more human. We don't want to reshape them smaller or larger just on a whim," Shimbori said.
Nowhere in that specific paragraph in the original article does either the author OR Shimbori EVER talk about how the characters moved. It instead literally talked about her physical attributes, describing her previous appearances as being more of an "oversexed supermodel child" (she's not a child back then BTW, she if anything was closer to a late teenager, being a 17 year old at that time), while her current body model in the game is now more of a "physically fit teen." And THEN it gets into Shimbori's quote. They're literally talking about her physical appearance, not to mention Shimbori literally uses the word boobs in the beginning of his statement.
Now, that being said, they DO talk about unnatural movement later into the article and making it more natural, with the reduction of jiggle physics to such an extent that they barely even exist (which is also a problem since it makes the girls look like they have silicon implants, which if anything makes them look worse, not better, and certainly not more natural, but that's neither here nor there.).
And just for the record, personally, I could care less about boob sizes myself, as I only am in the game for the story. However, I also know that they're radically altering a large part of what made DOA the game it is (pretty much its main selling point IS the body, in other words. Otherwise, it's barely much of a fighting game), and I also think what they're doing is just going to harm the franchise, make it Dead on Arrival. Heck, even the fighting mechanics they're promising are not looking impressive from the description.
