Look, I'm gonna be real honest with you: I'm a woman, and fanservice does bother me a lot of the time (though, honestly, most of us are desensitized to it), but that's not my problem here. I expect fanservice from FGO, no surprise there. I rant about it with my friends and that's it, because I still love this franchise and I made a choice to keep on playing despite all of this. I wished FGO did better, but I know it won't stop being a waifu game ever. Plus, I'm bi. I can't appreciate pretty girls too.

My problem here is different. Yeah, the design is fanservice-y, but also: it's plain and boring. Ishtar 2nd stage is bad too, but the 3rd one is amazing. And not because she's covered in it, but because IT LOOKS RAD AF. FGO can do fanservice that still looks badass and cool, but this definitely isn't this. Her first stage is the most cowboy-like and it's pretty plain, like a cheap cowboy outfit bought for Halloween. And then the theme gets thrown out of the window completely for the 3rd stage. If I have Calamity Jane, I want her to be full-on cowboy all the time, not a space magical girl, WTF. I wished her design was more like Billy's, that gets more cowboy-like as you ascend him.

So honestly, a lot of people might be complaining about the fanservice, but I think the sticking point is that design is boring. Pretty much all the female servants in FGO (which is: most of the servants, period) have skimpy outfits, but you don't get people complaining about all of them. They complain about the ugly ones, like in this case. That's the real problem here.

(Still, although I'm pretty harsh about the design, I don't advocate for people going to harass the illustrator like it happened with Parvati. They're just doing their work, there's no need to be rude to them).
