Someone needs to set up a GoFundMe to pay for her breast reduction surgery.

Imagine the embarrassment of Joosten seeing this.

So you know exactly how she felt about having her likeness portrayed in the game or are you just speaking out of your ass? Also, I'm laughing at people thinking Quiet is anywhere near the worst designed character this gen. I'm taking it this thread means worst designed means most overtly sexual and not actual bad design.

It really was not

When half of the exposure was ridiculing the obnoxiously sexist design, it is definitely not iconic.

I edited my original post.

Iconic prolly wasn't the right word, but it was definitely memorable.

Fits right into the world of MGS. People are acting like this is totally out of left field for a Kojima game lol.

I was going to say yes then I remembered Xenoblade 2 rabbit lady and yeah it's her (plus a lot of other characters in that game)

At least with Quiet you could eventually make her wear something kinda cool in-game later on

The majority of the art in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 certainly gives it a run for its money.

They're both terrible, but Quiet at least looks like a human that could exist (Albeit, it's a totally nonsensical design for the scenario and clearly just meant to titillate at every turn). Xenoblade's designs are so complete out of control with their character's proportions that it would be comical if it wasn't depressing.

Another example from Xenoblade 2 but I HATE Nim

The worst? Nah. Up there? Yeah. People already posted the lady with back problems from Xenoblade. After playing Death Stranding with there being like zero of this fan service, I wonder if Kojima realized he should move on from it.

What was the excuse for this :P

It's a shame she was a great NPC to take on missions. When I maxed out her level I would put on Maneater on snakes cassette player and watch her take out an entire base by her self. She was pretty bad ass, luckily you could cover her up. Too bad they wanted her skin exposure to make lore sense.

There are a number of ways a character design can be awful. Generally speaking, I think a lot of people believe that misogynistic designs are, in fact, very bad designs. And The Quiet is unquestionably a misogynistic design. I would argue she has one of the worst, most embarrassing designs in a game.

Then you need to play more games. She's bad but nowhere near the worst.

In a world where Xenoblade 2 and others exist, I'd have to disagree.

Doesn't this also kind of make 2B a bad design?

It looks like they handed a piece of paper to multiple artists, telling them that their distinct part of the character had to be totally different to the others

So you have the weird bunny face without any ears to back it up, magma feet, winter coat that might actually be body hair, no pants, shell bra, glowy gauntlets, and the Enigmatic Foxes

I'd be kinda on board with it if there's an actual narrative explanation (like she's the Missingno of blades or something) but I'm gonna guess there isn't

Xenoblade 2 had the worst design and utterly awful voice acting to boot. Quite annoyed I paid for it honestly

Oh look another Xenoblade Chronicles 2 thread where people complain about the same three designs like every time. Dahlia was even designed by Risa Ebata a woman and is suppose to be rabbit which why her design makes a ton of sense.

2B is frequently criticized for similar reasons. I don't think she is nearly as egregious, but that is just my personal opinion on the matter. I certainly see why many people take issue with her.

In a world where Xenoblade 2 and others exist, I'd have to disagree.

Xenoblade 2 is unquestionably filled with absolute trash designs. It is all a garbage fire. Still, I think The Quiet gives them all a run for their money. Her case certainly isn't helped by how gross the framing of her character is in so many scenes in that game either (though that is, of course, not a facet of her design itself).
