Why are gacha game characters so overdesigned?

>>724547430 (OP)
Because the field is saturated with the most generic moe blob waifus known to man and the only way to stand out is to find unique design elements, which often involves overcomplicating the designs since all the simple ones are taken.

Because chinese and koreans are tasteless people who never know when to stop and you're not looking at gacha game characters from other countries.

If you gone coom for a long time you need a lot of different details to focus on

Blame the mods for their stupid autosage

>>724547430 (OP)
Most artists working for those games are amateurs so they don't always know how to show restrain.
Also this >>724547515 it is hard to stand out in a sea of competitors with something simple

>>724547430 (OP)
because anime is a copy of a copy of a tracing of a copy, the way to get around it is adding extra frilly skirts, mammoth sized swords, outrageous hair, etc etc etc

She's actually not overdesigned much, it's just the background makes it look more busy and the character has some floating details.

My wife is not overdesigned

>floating details
Looks like shes a frying pan that has been detonated by 40 explosives and now slivers are just flying everywhere

>>724549096
Yea it definitely doesn't help with clarity

>>724547430 (OP)

The original one is alright but the """alter""" is just pure shit.
She went from someone who youd believe to be a mercenary(minus the skirt but who cares) into something my nephew would post on devientart.

>>724550423
japanbros it's not looking so good...

to grab your attention and make you want to spend money on getting them. In an actual videogame, character design is one of the considerations, in gacha it's literally number 1. Hence a lot more of the player attention/focus/emotional investment and reward budget going towards it.

>>724547430 (OP)
Or to explain it in less retarded terms, me likey a very specific anime girl, me spend a ton of money trying to get her

>>724547430 (OP)
Her original design is fine

Why do modern westerners have such underdeveloped visuospatial and auditory processing?

>Now there's 2 of them at the same time
Hm

>>724547430 (OP)
Because they’re being used for gacha, and not for manga or anime. You only have to draw the detailed stuff a few times, at most, and you’re fine. This is literally the reason why.

>>724547430 (OP)
they all look the same and the only way you can differentiate between them is through fluff

>>724550907
But those aren't memorable designs tho

>>724552382
No

>>724547803
mods should move all the fucking gacha threads to vmg

>>724553259
No

>>724556285
yes

>>724547430 (OP)
"Overdesigned" is and has always been a meaningless buzzword.
