What's wrong with some calling her cute ?!
She's smoking hot.
Kinda. I find it's the whole pelvic region. Hips, pubic region and ass. It just reminds me of the scene in a season 2 episode of Friends where Monica stands behind a magnifying glass. (Image attached for visual aid for those who haven't seen/don't remember the moment in question). Yes, it's a leap but this is just what I immediately think of when I find it doesn't fit on some of the girls.
I've put together examples of the most egregious moments in my opinion:

Keeping in mind I'm not just against girls with some of the ol' badonkadonk, just the lack of variety caused by this. Because of this design decision there aren't any true petite girls, in my opinion, because below the midriff, they're suddenly twice as wide sometimes. I think Nova is the worst for it since she's otherwise a perfect example of petite and wider than Annie, as far as I can tell.
For Penny, Nancy, and Calypso, I get it. They're the "curves in all the right places" girls. No problem with that. Dalia gets a pass too since her PAWGness becomes a whole joke thing later on. Again, no problem. Then there's Alex, Annie, Eva (not a LI but I didn't even realise how well she serves to show off this trend), Luna, Maat (again, not a LI but an example), and Nova just don't fit the body type, in my opinion. Yes, this can absolutely happen in real life (to a degree) but it wouldn't be every girl you know.
It's just boring and puzzling to me to have so much variety above the midriff with these girls, and then none at all below the midriff and ends up putting me off some scenes. Because of this, Alex is easily my favourite girl below the midriff simply because she's at least got the variety of her tattoos, but the rest are so samey.
Also, I realise I'm in an extremely small pool of individuals that have a problem with this. The last time I brought it up, I found out quite quickly I was in a rather quiet room of 4 or 5, and was otherwise labelled as weird or having questionable tastes by the more vocal people so those ones can just move on. I've already heard it and you're only wasting you own time verbalising rolling your eyes at me and my desire for variety in an otherwise S-tier game.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Turtle23455 I'll DM for your question about sigs since this isn't really the place for it.

Cari likes big butts and he cannot lie*. I bet all LIs and SIs in his 3rd game will also have nice butts.
*he totally does, regarding cliffhangers

I think it's more the impossibly thin wastes that make the hips look so big. Also he just really likes that pose where one girl kicks one hip out which makes it look extra big from that angle. But also HS2 is just more cartoony proportions so all their features are going to be more exaggerated. As someone who likes really thin girls I do agree we need more variety.
1. I always took that being the artistic choice of the developer. The game feels very "animey" with how some of the girls look, the poses they doo (like the V-sign at their eye, kicking up a foot, popping a hip out while turning the body a different direction etc). But now that you point it out, yeah all the girls are "slim thick". Like they aren't fat, but they certainly have all the fat stored in the right places (boobs, butt and thighs). I have no preference over petite vs thicc but I do like a little variation.
2. Thanks! I need to replay that chapter.
Thanks!
I think it has to do with the percieved aspect of "purity" in a girl. If she isn't a virgin she isn't pure and if she isn't pure she's a whore. Not that I subscribe to that way of thinking, I couldn't care less about a video game character in a porn game being a virgin or not.
Yeah, I've noticed that pose a couple of times. Feels very "animey", same with the V-sign in front of their eyes etc.
I agree that more variety would be nice.

I think she is both. She is cute and adorable, but also looks amazing and fit! That's why she is my favourite!
I feel you dog, I am always happy for some variety. I guess Carib didn't see it worthwhile to provide too much variety because the audience for it is so minor, which is fair enough. Also because he likes that body type, I am sure.
I don't think the wide hips look bad on Annie or Nova. It fits if it is done right (and it is), but I can see it would be possible to mess the proportions up like that.

All Hail the Empress of the WRE!!
Wouldn't it be something, though?
Why does one thing equate the other?
Fully agree on that, it looks kinda silly too.
Me too. Not that I'm complaining about Eternum's visuals, they're top-notch. But there's generally a lack of variety in 3D AVNs. Then again, we have to respect Cari's style, of course.

Eternum is one of the few HS2 games I play so I don't know how prevalent it is or if it is even a slider in the studio. In HS1 every girl's pelvic area is more shaped like a U than a V without variation. It doesn't seem as prevalent here, but I still wonder how much control there is over that body part. It may not be under the the control of Cari to give that much more variety to the girl's appearance in that department.

Typical westerner mindset
AlL AnIme StYLed ArT is JaIlBAit
Will be hilarious if you ever end up in Japan proper - not only our Anime, but a good chunk of the actual 18+ female population look like "jailbait" to the minds of westerners.
It's just a fact of nature that many orientals look younger than they are to the eyes of many westerns (somehow??) and that fact reflects in the tastes of oriental media.
Never really understood this mindset, being an oriental myself.

Not all of you. Some look older than dirt. But there doesn't seem to be much in-between, true.

I mean I get that, it's just so far from my own personal value system that it's always shocking when I'm reminded that it's a thing people actually believe.

Yes, but then you will need to go to Offtopic Eternum to cope with the aftermath.

Finally caught up, fuck that cliffhanger though. and damn i really need another good game to keep me sane till the update. i'm running out of games i've found. and most of those are nowhere near the content level. i am going to try out Cosy Cafe and Companion of Darkness. Really hoping those are good, but after that i'm gonna need another fix lol
Also for updates do i just download the full thing again?
