A.B.I.torial: Melty Blood Character Designs Are Blan...

Good video about the Melty Blood designs and why they are the way they are

Also I will now refer to Fate's genre as "Magic Assholes fighting in the streets at night"

I was planning on checking out that video because I must confess, I utterly loathe how bland those character designs are sometimes but oddly love them?

I completely think the phrase "less is more" rings true here

I love over the top designs but I also love the minimalist details we see in Melty Blood

and even in FFXV

I dunno why those designs work so well but they do.

𝕙𝕠𝕟𝕜𝕪-𝕥𝕠𝕟𝕜 𝕝𝕒𝕕𝕪 : According to the video, it's the mystery "more than meets the eye" sort of mentality when it comes to Nasu characters

that at least applies to the most nasuverse stuff.... fgo really has thrown a lot of that out the window (though not for the worse, it's just different)

but knk, tsukihime, and the original fsn are very much that urban fantasy/"Magic Assholes fighting in the streets at night" vibe

gsai: Yea. FGO's different. Though granted, that mainly applies to servants, who don't follow the normal nasu idea of design except for like 'casual looks'

well also fgo doesn't have like. a normal world setting to contrast against

also yes

the only fgo chapter close to that was Shinjuku and even that didn't quite feel the same

but yeah, ABI makes a great point in this video about what makes the MB cast work for its setting, and why its contrast against other conventions of punchgames is sort of The Point, Actually
