Why is this series becoming gayer by the decade? Is it intentional? Last time we saw retrochad simon was in a smash garbage.

the optimal hero design is a middle ground between the two extremes, not a full-blown Cho Aniki-esque design like barbarian Simon (this design only appeals to gay men and easily impressionable self-inserting kids), nor the Masaki Sumitani-esque bishonen stripper like the Chronicles' Simon

Trevor Belmont has the ideal male hero looks, but his design only works if the character is heterosexual. the ideal gay male character looks like Luka Urushibara

i like the idea of simon being a burly ass barbarian because i always assumed that he was some backwoods survivalist living in the mountains.

likewise i like richter's PSP look because he's a civilized belmont and it makes him look crazier when we see him again in SOTN.

Looking at the stories, flimsy as they are,
Trevor and Christopher should be rugged barbarian types, since the Belmonts were outcasts. Simon should look how he did in Simon's Quest, with armor and proper gear.
Juste onward should be pretty well equipped.

I hate that they all got long coats when Kojima designed them,

Castlevania is a franchise where you play some variety of a burly half-naked man or stylish bishounen whipping lit candles, werewolves, men bound as mummies, midgets, snake women, and eventually an older sugar daddy vampire who explodes into a spooky demon. Either you appreciate it for the eighties absurdity it is or you deny it and look like a closeted homosexual.

because her style was very horror gothic aesthetic and that would fit to Castlevania

>burly half-naked man or stylish bishounen
Hasn't always been the case tb'h. Simon was burly but less naked than Conan. Bloodlines was the only 80s castlevania that was going to have a bishonen but the western publishers changed it for the better.

Did the west have something to do with John Morris' atrocious character design too? That game might as well only have one playable character 'cause Morris looks too retarded to be a legitimate choice. Hard Corps has a similar issue; Sheena and to a lesser extent the robot are the only two non-retard characters

Gayfag here. I'm gonna be honest, yaoi artists, especially the ones of Kojima's ilk, are shit at drawing burly men.

Meanwhile, straight porn artists are actually pretty godly at it but are too cowardly to draw their heads.
