Jora got a b00b job

I have to admit that the final design for Jora came out quite dissappointing.
Norn are mentioned as stocky, muscular giants; while now, this stereotypical Hollywood-clone is put forward, as if we haven't got enough of those allready!

I'm probably the first female to comment on this...

How do women put up with these horribly distorted, male-created objects representing us in media? -.-*

The concept art, she looked like a man.
The box art, she looks stoned
The ingame render... totally out of proportion, she's actually about as chubby as she(he?) was in the concept art.

Anet, get more women in your art design =_=*

Less drooling 13 year old boys please :|

No, no, the difference between those pictures is perspective.
One is more oriented to the front, the other is more to the side.

There is no 'boob job'.

E-VO-LU-TION.
You have to drink milk to be tall.
Norns are very tall, so they need waa~~~~~aay much more milk that you to be so tall.
And Dolyak milk tastes like spoiled blue cheese, so...
Bigger Mammary glands mean more milk. More milk means taller children, so Norn men like 'powerfull' women.

It's just evolution.

Now go back to the game and stop staring at female elite sunspear elementalists.

Female assassins have their merits too.

Unless there are other armour sets available for her with *ahem* more coverage, I can see myself only using Jora when the plot forces it. I hate the Battle Bikini look - and in her case, with the link between the top and bottom part, she's lost one of the dubious advantages of such an ensemble (that of being more flexible around the torso - that doesn't look any less restrictive than a full breastplate made of whatever material that link is made of). It's almost like she's deliberately putting herself at a disadvantage - or at best is assuming that no enemy will be able to reach higher than her legs.

It's something that ANet have managed to restrain themselves on, with only one or two examples (for warriors) per campaign (although there are a lot of cases where the male version is complete while the female is missing faulds/tassets or cuisses, especially in Factions) so it would be disappointing if the female warrior hench has no choice apart from the "Battle Bikini". I suppose not needing to pull out the bikini-clad "warrior" is what Koss, Goren, Melonni and Kahmu are for...

(Glossary, for the uninitiated:
Cuisses: The armour piece that covers the thighs. Examples where cuises are present in male armour and lacking in the female include: Elite Templar, Shing Jea, basic Canthan.
Faulds/Tassets: The "skirt" of plate in plate armour that covers the hips and upper thighs, respectively. Examples where these are lacking in the female but present in the male include both forms of Kurzick (although the elite form almost gets away with it by virtue of having the greaves go so far up), elite Canthan, and both forms of Sunspear armour.)

EDIT: Mithran, I'd dispute the direct link between milk consumption and height, since I'm allergic and while I'm no basketball player, I'm not exactly a pygmy either...

I'm getting tired of the "sex sells" attitude, but what can I say. It's effective. So the games are made for 13-18-year-old straight boys - I'm a 22-year-old gay man. OF COURSE they won't add too many hot guys, girls/gay guys aren't their main public (and when we have it's usually romance, eeeh... GG. GIMME FIGHTS FFS). It's annoying, but that's how it works, and it's not about to change... *sigh*.

At least we have Sousuke, but he's not even legal >_>.

Norn are not humans.

Their skins are thicker. I don't see you complaining about Charr armor coverage.

This is the same, they do not need Templar-like armor. They are not weak puny humans with paper-think skin.

I dont know what to say about this thread. Will warriors become the new eles? Will koss dump Melonni for Jora? Stay tuned!

Needs moar pixels IMO
