Miriam is bustier than in the original Kickstarter

If a surfer asked me "sup, bra?", I'd tell them I think Miriam's large breast size is a little bit ridiculous right now. Her new look... is not exactly my cup of tea, but I don't think it's a big issue worth fussing over.

However, I'm willing to provide support for whatever IGA has planned. I just hope Bloodstained handles Miriam's body in a mature manner in order to nip all arguments in the bud. Will it be a tragedy if she got the Castlevania: Judgement treatment with unnecessary focus on her breasts? Of course it will.

Strap in everyone, it's going to be a wild ride.

A point worth considering (I can't recall if it was discussed here or elsewhere but I figure I might as well bring it up in this topic) is that this arrangement (curse mark position, size, etc.) does a lot to maximize the actual visibility of the curse mark - a major part of her character design and the narrative. Considering you'll spend most of the game looking at Miriam from afar and in profile view, I think this makes a lot of sense. Otherwise you have to weirdly angle her model (which I can imagine would get awkward during movement or jumping or whatever) to really see it. Actually kind of smart from a design perspective.

Found another piece of promo art she was busty in:



At this point I think she was busty in more art than not. 

IGA should be wary of some people that don't even play the games but love to have a opinion against everything they don't approve like some "Journalists" that I will not mention and other very well organized people of high status and power with connections that loves to speak for all of us. I hope that all the voices here keep being from genuine gamers. (Many know what I'm talking about but don't want to talk more about it here. I just wanted to transmit the message.)

Anyway by the art I can guess that her personality will be pacific and that she will have a calmly way to rationally approach a situation. This is what I perceive from Miriam and this haven't changed at all with the artwork. Also I don't see much difference between her old and new form. It's just the shaders enhancement he skin and makes her figure more noticeable.

"Some women have large breasts. Some women have small breasts. This character fits one of those examples."
If we're going to talk about Miriam's breasts than can we talk about Zangetsu's bare chest and well toned body?

I'm not trying to make this a gender conflict, but what I really want the dev team to do on this matter is do what THEY want to do, outside of extremes.

Shall we argue about her skin tone, next? Maybe the thickness of her legs? Well, everyone here is pretty sensible about it, but I hope if the devs see the other side of things, that they see this one too. I get that the community is providing constructive feedback as far as visual representation goes, but I don't think we should be deciding such details over the characters. Let the designers do what they do.

I feel like the only reason anyone is mentioning it is because we come here to discuss the game and this is something they changed. I haven't seen anyone that seems upset over it, usually curious at most considering that they could have had her look like this at the start. Kinda makes me laugh as usually this is done in a very small way but the change was pretty significant. We also have to take into account that we aren't seeing much of the game yet (no background this time even) so we are going to focus on what little there is and talk about it, that is why most of us are here. I haven't seen anyone saying they should revert but if they did they are entitled to their opinion.

When we start seeing Zangetsu's model I am sure we will get threads like these if it looks different than the concept art or if his model changes over time so it definitely isn't a gender conflict.

People need to realize that the character model is small on the screen. So they won't be as notice-able. It was probably increased so you could see them at all.

I wouldn't go that far. I think the confusion over the bust size has to do with the inconsistency and the fact that the vast majority of Miriam's concept art with her in the ingame outfit has a much smaller bust size. It doesn't really matter (unless they focus on it) but I am sure this is why people are taking notice.

It's also worth noting that she was just as busty in the shader 1/2 pics. I think no one noticed because the shading kind of flattened them a bit, and because the perspective is different.
