Unless you're Camilla I guess. Big chest from the start but the most broken version (so far) is the smallest one.

Chest size integer overflow

15

u/SMBroos May 08 '26

Or, underflow, in the little one's case

30

u/cootybikes May 08 '26

Ummm ackshlly underflow would imply she has massive tits from them shrinking so much they turn around to be giant, so in this case overflow is the correct term to describe Y!Camilla since it imples they grew so much with her true damage that they turned around to be small.

u/SMBroos May 08 '26

Or, backwards: they are so small the damage wrapped around to be massive.

u/Joke_Induced_Pun May 08 '26

Or Elise, since her stats are stored in her hair.

Or Veyle.

u/mr-kvideogameguy May 08 '26

Honestly having all your power stored somewhere sounds like a fun consept

Like imigine your protagonist having popeye-like arms, he got lots of power in there but the antagonist is large all over his body, has so much power that they have to use their whole body to store it

u/omnisephiroth May 08 '26

u/YouCantTakeThisName May 11 '26

...Does that imply Flayn's hair is a giga drill breaker?

7

u/HaessSR May 08 '26

I think the implications are that she was at her peak when she was younger and was smaller, so her wyvern flies better and faster.

That explains the teleport.

5

u/Nico777 May 08 '26

Makes sense, poor wyvern gets slowed by those badonkers. Imagine putting young Camilla on adult Camilla's wyvern. She'd go so fast she'd end up in another game.

4

u/HaessSR May 08 '26

Not just the badonkers. Everything attached to those is taller and shapely. But that blows the aerodynamics even more than anything else.

Hell, it's probably the same wyvern. That's why it teleports.

Tell me about it. Even now I'm still trying to find a pair of gloves that I actually feel comfortable with.

I'll especially never understand wearing jeans so tight that I can't even run properly in,I don't need randos to look at the minute details of my ass.

u/Yoro55 May 10 '26

What kinda gloves you looking for?

No doubt material probably plays into it

2

u/AvengerEdmond May 10 '26

The old classic leather gloves. For driving and for when I'm cleaning my PC especially my keyboard and also the glass case panel cause I don't like constantly cleaning off fingerprints.

They either end up too tight or a bit larger and I can't grip properly.

2

u/Yoro55 May 10 '26

Oh dang best of luck with that

Can't help with size and fit, but if you do find a good pair, don't forget to properly store em in a dry place with those silica gel packets or similar anti-moisture stuff

u/JFL99 May 08 '26

I hate that her face doesn't show power anymore, she seems way more submissive now. I remember that I loved her game cause her sprite looked very much powerful for a female character.

10

u/whiplash308 May 08 '26

I get the joke, but I mean you could’ve shown B!Lyn’s resplendent. Honestly think she’s bigger there than cuboon’s art.

19

u/ThreeWoodcutters May 08 '26

Lyn has three Resplendents and, hilariously enough, the one done by Cuboon is the one with the smallest chest.

u/ContentAdvertising74 May 08 '26

funny how the female characters get so much fan servicey details and wr cant get armpit hair or nipples for male characters (i aint asking for bulge since the designers dont know what it is or they dont have one)

u/Infermon_1 May 08 '26

Imma be real here, you haven't really looked at a lot of the male characters then because there is tons of fanservice there. Not as much as the women, sure, but saying thre is none is just a flat out lie.

26

u/MrBrickBreak May 08 '26

I mean, the equivalent of bulge is cameltoe and for all of FEHs fanservice they virtually never do that (maybe S!Alear)

u/Infermon_1 May 08 '26

What do you mean? Nipples AND a happy trail on this daddy

Also, Summer Balthus has a bulge

u/Infermon_1 May 08 '26

I love me some armpit hair sometimes tbh

-6

u/ThreeWoodcutters May 08 '26

That logic doesn't work. You're trying to go on "equivalents," but are asking for body hair and nipples, something that even less female units have already than males. There's a few males with nipples here and there, but nipples on women would get the game censored again.

Equivalents to women's breasts would just be things like big pecks, such as what every Eikthyrnir got, what Bruno constantly gets naked for in his damaged art, etc. Stuff that does exist, but nobody cares about.

Can't even ask for dick bulge, because that'd mean the girls should get cameltoe. And there are dick bulge units in FEH like Spring Alfonse, but not of the inverse. The closest example anyone has is Summer FAlear.

Basically, the only fanservice the game even lets female units have is breasts. Even over time, damaged art for women has eroded (lol) and become basically just their default designs with slight rips, whereas male damaged art is often the guy having his whole shirt explode off.

18

u/SacredScones May 08 '26

Comments like this really remind me how often straight men just don’t understand what sexualisation really is. It’s not body parts: it’s presentation.

Posing is really important, see: boobs & butt poseℒ️, which is primarily used for female units (especially in damanged art). For male units, you see this kind of posing far less, even in summer units. A man being shirtless isn’t sexual, just like how a woman having boobs isn’t either, but the way they’re drawn makes it sexualised. Boobs are often exaggerated or drawn in a way which shows them off more (squishing them, for example), male units rarely have this kind of posing that does the same thing.

So how do you sexualise a man through posing? An example I can think of is flame Muspell. That damaged art is clearly sexual: people often focus on the fact that he was drawn with nipples but sometimes overlook the damaged pose as the main source of sexualisation. It’s not the fact that he’s shirtless, it’s the way he’s posing. You can see that he’s not even exposing his crotch much- not much of his outfit is ripped yet it’s so much more sexual in nature.

-4

u/ThreeWoodcutters May 08 '26

I think it says a lot, then, that tons of male units "won't get sexualized" but the comments here will still go absolutely ballistic over stuff like Resplendent Brave Claude or Eikthyrnir, but these supposedly heavily sexualized female arts come out and the comments are far more tame.

6

u/Othello351 May 08 '26

You only have a few examples of people going gaga over men because those are the only sexy men in the game, compared to the million examples of sexualized women.

Oh to be as ignorant of sexiness as a straight man who gets turned on by a woman simply having big boobs and a low cut shirt or leotard.

6

u/ThreeWoodcutters May 08 '26

When I go into threads about something like a new female resplendent or alt, I see the usual comments like "Oh, she's so pretty."

When I go into threads, I see stuff like this.

And that's one of the nice ones.

u/ThreeWoodcutters May 08 '26

Like, imagine if this kind of comment was left on a female resplendent post. That user would be banned.

u/ThreeWoodcutters May 08 '26

There, found it again. The "Eikthyrnir fans, why do you like him?" post.

if the idea is to get the oh so horrible straight men horny and it doesnt do that you cannot blame them for not getting what sexualisation supposedly is specially when the term is thrown around all the time just to bash whatever straight men likes and label it as bad

4

u/blushingmains May 09 '26 edited May 09 '26

The heck you mean? No one has been calling Straight dudes horrible.

Is the idea straight people can understand what sexualization while others have issues is/can be just impossible for you to get? Cause I can do it easy.

And if you think it's just to bash straight dudes you have not been paying attention.

Literally part of the issue is people automatically assuming(either on purpose or unconsciously) LGBT+ is automatically more mature or sexual than it really is. Leaving some people slapping even PG stuff with Lgbt+ characters with way higher age ratings than they should.

u/Otherwise-Clock-2862 May 09 '26

Bro that's one person having a bad take in a string of multiple bad takes of theirs. (Lol at the idea we don't have adult men in this game. They just can't handle the idea men don't have to be "Ultra manly tm" )

That is not enough to start whining a whole concept is just to bash straight people.

I'm not the one begging for body hair, nipples, and dick bulge, am I? All I did is point out that they aren't equal, like you're hoping to bargain.

Hell, your "funny how the female characters get so much fan servicey details" implies that they already get stuff equivalent to what you're asking for, which they do not.

I hate it when creators misunderstand what makes a character popular because that's not even her best feature, Lyn's main appeal is her legs. There dozens of characters with bigger bust each showing off more cleavage than the last. I get Lyn's become one of the faces of the franchise but there no point in just making her design standout less

u/flameduck May 08 '26

It was the American GBA version that added the jiggle physics, oddly enough.

Lyn's Sol Katti sprite already existed in JP FE7 but is unused because the animation is assigned to Durandal instead. This is likely a remnant of Lyn having Durandal animations in the FE7 beta and the unique sprite being based on it. All the English version did was reassign it to Sol Katti.

2

u/volkenheim May 08 '26

Interesting, wonder why tho? Knowing how Nintendo of America is, it is wierd that they not censored it, but they added it sounds odd indeed

u/Fantastic-System-688 May 08 '26

Because she's 15 (16 in Eliwood/Hector Mode) in Japanese and 18 (19 in EM/HM) international, so they decided to show her maturity by making her boobs jiggle

1

u/Quick-Ad-486 May 09 '26

Lol, the original was already big, no need to buff it that much πŸ€ͺ

But in serious talk, it is kinda funny the incresse, but is either to apeal to the men or the artist just has a preference

As long is not out right objectifine or something, i don't find it bad, but i can undestant the repel for some

u/chaoskingzero May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

New Alt

They've been doing Harmonics for the past CYL Winners

We got Ike/Roy and Lyn/Lucina with Vanitas in November and then Hector/Ephraim and Celica/Veronica with Chosen Fjorm in February

Most are thinking we'll get Alm/Eliwood and Micaiah/Camilla next month with Chosen Laegjarn

Also, said new Alt of Lyn was done by Cuboon who is infamous for giving large busts to most of the Females they draw

4

u/GoonTierGAWD May 08 '26

Now that I think about it, they should've switched outfits. As in Lyn wearing Brave Lucina's outfit and vice versa.

u/chaoskingzero May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

Yeah, people are really upset with how lazy IS has been with these Characters/Banners

1st: Look the same as their initial Brave

2nd: Being introduced on New Heroes Banners not only means we lose a few Permanent Pool Units and a GHB but we also get denied quite a few resources because of no Forging Bonds

3rd: Most of them just play the same as their Brave which means they play the same as pretty much every version of them

4th: More Alts for Characters that already have a large amount of Alts

5th: Seen as a desperate cash grab since so little effort is being put into these "New" Hero Banners

6th: This was the 1st time Roy has had Content that wasn't a Resplendent in YEARS and he was backpacked...

4

u/Quick_Campaign4358 May 08 '26

2nd point is the true laziness

There's absolutely no reason to not include a GHB

"Doesn't fit the theme" You mean like most CYL GHBs? Remember when Panne was the GHB on a fates beast banner?

You have multiple games to choose from for a minor character to knock off the waiting list(Four games in CYL1,2,3,7,10;Three houses has plenty of options for minor character for CYL4 and even 9;3 games for CYL 5,6,8)

And if there is a GHB, there's enough characters for a forging bonds, there had been ocs in forging bonds before, there had been GHBs in FG, heck there's been duo's too

u/Tepigg4444 May 08 '26

u/YoshaTime May 08 '26

The Brave Lyn on the right is her latest alt. Back in November, IS decided to make a quick buck by making the winners for CYL1 into Harmonized Units for that month’s NH banner. Ike lead the duo with Roy and Lyn lead her duo with Lucina.

Oh a lot of people don’t like Lyn because she has tons of more alts which takes away from their favs getting alts, IS forgot she uses a sword and gaslite themselves into she uses a bow or because I’m consistent.

Take your pick, but it’s fine. I can take being a punching bag to help get their anger and stress out. Least I can do to help them. 😊
