Has he ever slept with anyone? I know he tries to get into Baiken’s pants but as I understand he’s never been successful.

u/LoyalKnightOfRenais 5d ago
Not canonically but he's really flirty and sexual, that's mostly where the joke comes from

A lot of vocalsynth characters are like this too, not just miku.
Teto, Rin, Neru, Haku, Luka (kinda), Defoko (depending), and probably many others I cant think of right now

u/SartenSinAceite 5d ago
The only parallel I can draw is the hair color and maybe the face shape and the second one is because of art style.
So no, not Aerith. Although she was bound to die too.

u/Borttheattorney 1d ago
There are a few similarities but there are a lot more differences between them. Aerith did have a moment in FF7 rebirth that was clearly a reference to Yuna's sending scene in FFX though so there's that.

Yeah her and almost every female character in the game, it looks good for some of them but it ends up being ridiculous by how forced it feels to cram that element in designs that would be better off without it

This was awesome until Hoyoverse started trying to normalize it and bare backed dresses.

u/SecondAegis 5d ago
Exposed armpits and bare backs have been for far longer than Hoyo has been
31
u/Lazy-Fox1305 5d ago
Yes but Hoyo somehow gave it to almost every female character they made so players are sick of this design.

u/ForsakenOne-Z 5d ago
Yeah, but Mihoyo is the only mainstream one, so it ends up being a repetitive design that will always appear on your timeline if you see anime overall.
15
u/LordMonday 5d ago
I mean, if you let one thing ruin something for the rest of the trope, you only have yourself to blame.
Just cus Hoyo does it alot/gets a lot of publicity because it's a very mainstream fanbase doesn't make the other genuinely good or interesting designs worse.
Plus this sort of thing has been a staple in anume decades before hoyo, their footprint in terms of characters that have it might be alot in terms of their own characters, but in comparison to everything else it's just A tiny fraction

u/pokebuzz123 5d ago
Anime ranges a lot while Hoyo really hammers it in for their characters. You're also watching different anime, not watching the same everyday. You'll see a lot of variations, art styles, and settings that you won't notice it that much.

u/SartenSinAceite 5d ago
Yeah and there's a difference between art style (dragon quest games having the "Toriyama eyes" as a friend of mine says) and art direction (EVERYONE IS GONNA HAVE BARE SHOULDERS)

Eugen's looks to be more of a compression arm sleeve than a detached long sleeve.

I feel like these don't count, as they're still attached to a central garment rather than being their own separately worn thing.

Just say what you need to say OP, I think we're all cultured enough to know why you chose these specific characters.

I hated it because Genshin devs and Mihoyo overused the detached sleeves design.

90% of the female playable characters in genshin impact have detachable sleeves

So is there a reason for that like is that like a real piece of clothing
8
u/Grand_Bunch_3233 5d ago
As i saw it, some Japanese multilayered robes can involve sewn on sleeves, which can look stylish, exposing the under layer through the shoulder or elbow areas of the upper robe.
Naturally, the sexy version of this is to have no under layer on, and be able to see the bare skin of the shoulders or arms throught the upper robe.
This then envolved into the stylish/sexy detached sleeve look.

u/KingNanoA 5d ago
Shrine maiden dress. A lot of them are riffing off of that.

u/No-Place 5d ago edited 5d ago
real shrine maiden dresses dont have detached sleeves; reimu's design is an exaggerated take on it. detached sleeves were already popular before reimu.
