Always the diplomat, I don’t usually take a strong stance one way or the other on design decisions that don’t seriously impact gameplay. While the art could certainly be considered off-putting, the cries of overt sexism are in my opinion, overblown.
Somewhere between the original Heavy Metal film and the latest envisioning of Capcom’s 2D fighters, the character designs in Dragon’s Crown have certainly garnered attention. Though the line to have posters signed by art director, George Kamitani at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles was consistently long, not everyone is a fan of the over-the-top art style.
Now, with their new title, it seems as if the Japanese developer has stepped into something of a firestorm. Vanillaware is best known for their PlayStation 2 genre-bending and evolutionary RPGs, Grim Grimoire and Odin Sphere, as well as the critical darling Muramasa: The Demon Blade on the Nintendo Wii.
