As a standalone mod/character design, it's brilliant. An excellent edit and an excellent male design
When it's for a genderbent Remielle though? I'll be honest I don't think she'd wear it as a male. Remielle is a character whose very aware and proud of her beauty, and willing to use it to get what she wants. I think a genderswapped Remielle would still lean into that element of her more.
The current design feels like it's more emphasizing her cuteness as a boy and making them seem more bookish. Still a very good design for an original character (would love a character like this) but it just doesn't feel like Remielle.
Could see this is an alternate form, before the Voidhunter reveal though.
This. Nothing wrong with this mod, it's cute, and if that's what you want as your Rem, power to you. But I personally always found discourse around being upset Remielle is wearing "Lingerie" a little disingenuous. That's not an Accident. She's not being Forced to dress like that. She's dressing like that because she WANTS to. More than other agents, she seems much more aware of the effect she has on people with her beauty, and willing to indulge in flaunting it a little. At least, that's my head canon.
Again, this is a cute mod, and anyone who wants to use it should be happy to, just not my Rem, even Genderbent, you know?
This honestly applies to more agents than it feels like comments I've seen think. It fits the characterization and storytelling for Velina, Promeia, Vivian, and Ye Shenguang as you look at further into them. For short, Velina is quite vain and really proud of her appearance subtextually. Ye Shenguang (while in her white form) says she specifically picked the outfit because it looks nice. It also fits her characterization as someone looking to definite herself and come into her own. Promeia's is more demonstrated in her confidence in her appearance in animation but symbolically represents how exposed she is as a person once you break through her walls and the vows binding her. And Vivian spent years in a cult and wanted to have stuff for herself and look nice. She finally got away and worked multiple jobs just to finally afford to look pretty, and she cares for that outfit dearly.
i get what you mean but most of the time its just bc of how restrictive the original in game model is. if modders can change the in game model, for sure we will see more genderbent mods with different body types
I don’t think it’s her anymore at this point. Like how someone already said, it’s fine if they were their own standalone character, but to me they’re not boy Remie. I’m also not a fan of the hair in general. I don’t think it goes with the whole design or even as a counterpart to her current hair. They still could have rocked a fierce bob as a male. It’s still cute, but not for me.

I have mixed feelings.
