A well-known JRPG producer thinks that the widespread appeal of female anime characters with fuller thighs extends beyond being just an attractive distraction for gamers in need of hydration. Instead, they suggest it carries a more profound significance.
In conversation with 4Gamer (automatically translated), Atelier series producer Junzo Hosoi explained his perspective on why players are drawn to anime girls with well-defined figures.
Atelier producer Junzo Hosoi discussed with 4Gamer (translated by Automaton) the reasons behind players’ fondness for anime characters featuring attractive figure designs.
In my opinion, the state of the economy affects the types of designs that gain popularity,” the producer shared.
In tough economic times, specific character traits become essential, whereas during prosperous periods, other traits gain popularity.
In a recession, people tend to prefer fuller female figures and maternal qualities, as Hosoi observed. This trend significantly impacted the design of Ryza’s character – the main figure in Atelier Ryza.
It’s important to note that while there isn’t definitive evidence supporting this claim, Hosoi offers a plausible explanation for why players tend to favor shapely female anime characters. This preference might be partly due to the enormous success of popular games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, which generate billions annually – a success that could undeniably be attributed in part to their character designs.
2024 sales data indicates that fans favor rounded character designs like Genshin’s Raiden Shogun and HSR’s Black Swan, as they rank second in iOS sales charts with approximately 37 million and 26 million units sold, respectively.
It’s unclear if their popularity reflects the overall condition of the global economy – a query that frankly caught me off guard given the early hour.
