Thread: HBC's FKG 6* Tier List

Allright.

I took a break from HBC for few days, seems like much has been written to catch up on.

As for Cattleya - Meh... fuck that tsundere bitch, weak sauce over egoistic boob archetype. C tier is good enough for you. (yes the SB kills her off comlpetely).

Now onto the more important stuff.

Red Ginger, aka Alpinia.

This lovely girl was my first ever 6* back when I started on Nutaku - FKG was my first Nutaku game, and I have had no idea about any of the browser games, DMM or anything really. I pulled her from that one super lucky first Slice Gacha, and since then have buffed her up to 5/5 4/4, thanks to rainbow dressblooms being more accessible (wish I could get one more for FKG so I can finish Mei to 4/4 as well).

Now I am not gonna make this long since most has been said already.
Stat line - she could use more ATK thats for sure, rest is fine
Her passive speed buff is a bit weird one, considering she did not get the DMG per speed buff like the other speed based girls.

She is rolling nice skillset of Skill Act. and Skill damage combo. 30% damage to ALL allies is also very very delicious.
The odd one out for me is the counter. Especially with her passive draining HP from the enemy, you would expect the last ability to be something more Damage oriented. Or Evasion.
Counter just feels meh in the grand scheme of things. But that being said, since Super Counter teams are worth their weight in gold, this allows her to join in onto teams that usually rock high Def buffs, and if you are a dedicated crazy man with All her equip slots unlocked and filled with maxed out item sets, yeah she can do pretty well.

Often times I have seen her be the last girl standing, beating on that boss and chopping it down, healing herself and doing contributing for the team to do much more damage than it would be anticipated.

A+ Girl no questions asked. If she got buffed to deliver damage per speed in addition, or get more DMG for herself she could be S- with ease.

Now one thing that needs to be said - Ninjax !
She AINT DARK SKINNED !
She is TANNED. Never, ever ever EVEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRRR ~ RRRRRRRRR mix that one up bruh !


Now as for her art style since you know.... I am a rebel mofu like that ~ :3
Her overall design is very nice. The color is lush and well drawn. The artist used a high color saturation which is in opposite to washed out style like for example Corn Cockle has, and I think its a good choice as it emphasizes well with her design of being raised on a sunny island lush with color and sunlight.

I also like the fact that she is tanned but not to much, thus setting the blonde hair more in line rather than being to strong of a contrast.
Now for her dresscode - I am not really fan of the slutty slut sluts running around in underwear. Since you cant put that much details on a picture like that, and while I like her first basic art, the second one is a bit meh, mostly due to the pose taken.
The bloom art is one of my favorite artworks in the game in general and I really like the addition of the loincloth or wtf its called when women wear it. She also sprouts a subtle smile which has its charm.
Her scene is akin to her art - strong lush colors, well drawn. Her story is kinda mofu, and I love some of the fan artwork where she is portrayed as a small girl with baby pest in her arms, or teh other one in yukata with teddy bear. Her story indicates a subtly presented but strong love for you as a Danchou, as well as the children around her, thus you can make the assumption she would make a good mother (not sure about a good Wife though, but certainly a good companion) to your children.
And yes I am dissecting the possible personality and mental profile of a 2D anime waifu based upon few lines of dialogue, and her overall presentation. No shame no blame, deal with it
*Those who read my "yandere" characters mental health assessment back in the Nutaku Chit chat, quite a time ago now, will understand :P

In short - she is a Babe *thumbsup*

Bro, whut? *Blink* Hang on a sec... Hrmmm pulling up FKG wikia… Let's pull up the nationality for Banana Ocean... and see what the girls look like. Whoa! For living in a tropical paradise, it's shocking that well over 90% of them are neither tanned, as you say, or dark-skinned but instead are a creamy white Caucasian color. Look, I'm not trying to start any argument or pissing match on who's right or who is wrong. I have seen in person many African American women range of near total black to so light they may almost be mistaken as a white person. Anime often goes very light skinned Caucasian like complexions, so anyone with a darker complexion to me is automatically dark skinned. Whether they have brown nipples or bright pink nipples, they are still dark skinned to me. Just my personal definition and preference is all.

Thank you for giving my bae such a high grade though!

For me tanned or dark-skinned it's chocolate girl.
All chocolate girls is the same , they're always tasty.

Yeah, that's why for gameplay side I understand why RG is not so popular. She's good but not as broken as someone in the same archtype.

Waifu side however, I guess Japanese doesn't like chocolate... Yet they crazy about valentine.

While not trying to derail the topic of this thread, I understand your confusion. A majority of the time I have seen dark-skinned girls, they are not often in lead character roles but instead are lesser supporting roles. And they often are given characteristics that I can imagine may not be appealing to Japanese audience. I've seen the angry tsundere, the slutty seductress, the lazy/airheaded gag character, or (more often the case) protagonist's villain that does many bad things in the plotline. I can't name many anime series or even games for that matter that have a dark-skinned girls as the lead female protagonist. If there are any, they are vastly outnumbered by their pale-skinned peers. Maybe it also has something to do with the negative perception related to gyarus (specifically ganguro) that Japanese society has of them as far as my knowledge knows. But who really knows right?

Its a cultural thing.
Just like every culture has their own thing, for japanese its this one.
Only retarded SJW will reee about someones culture, admonish them, insult them in the name of diversity and then after their beaten the person over the head enough, and destroyed what ever culture they had... they will complain about the lack of diversity and tolerance... Ah the hypocrisy.
Thank god we have none of those here.
But I digress.

As for the Tanned vs Dark skinned. To me RG isnt really even tanned. Being white doesnt mean you are an albino with luster pale skin lol.
Look at Spanish and italians. They are white, but due to the demographics of the countries they live in most of them look "tanned" (though that is their natural "white look") when compared to someone from lets say Norway or Finland, where its really cold and the Sun is sparse. Those are the closes you get to pale white albinos (no disrespect by calling them albinos).

Its simply defined by what the culture finds attractive. I know that for example wast majority (not all mind you) black guys are all about them jello booty. Nice round plumpy ass mofu :3
While others mind find hips more attractive, like in my culture back in the past. Some might find boobs to be the prime point of attraction. You know its really subjective to each culture and none of the views are wrong per say, they are just different. Same with Japanese and how they perceive lighter/darker skinned females.

As far as FKG goes for me a girl I consider lightly tanned, would be Moonflower (event 5*) whereas someone more dark skinned is Thoroughwort, whereas - to my own perception Panama Queen feels even darker, but thats really a subjective thing as I mentioned, depending on the culture, experiences, etc.
Now with that said - I dont think there is a 6* with more tanned / darker skin in FKG. If we exclude lightly tanned ones like Red Ginger I think there are none like Thoroughworth or Panama Queen, but then again if the paying Krakens decided they dont want those girls it only makes sense to not make them. While it would be nice to have a bit variety, money talks and FKG is primarily a JP oriented game. Officially us lucky sobs shouldn't be able to even play the JP version so its understandable that you wont create a product nobody wants just for it to sit on the shelf.
*Nobody as in minuscule minority that doesn't bring that much money to the devs table, not literally nobody.

BTW Thoroughworth has really nice artwork and her Bloomed one is especially beautiful.
I wonder how Promotion will treat her once it gets to her

Hmmm... culture is deep, different yet no need to diss on others.

BTW, I'm the type of "All boobs are created equal", but I admit I have a fetish for girls with round, plump ass. The delicious thighs and full double peaches... nothing gonna top that for me.

Announcement:

Since one of our dear Forum Comrades doesn't have that much time due to job work he asked me if we could extend the Deadline of the current Red Ginger Discussion until the 10th of june.

Kurenai does a lot for our little forum here and everyone should have the chance to comment about his waifu.

I hope you guys don't mind. I will extend the deadline by two days.

New Deadline: 10.06.2018

I'm fine with that. I was thinking about Kurenai about this a little while ago and figured he would definitely want to have his say about RG too, but didn't know if he would be able to because of his busy RL schedule.

Definitely. In no way do I think anyone here intends disrespect Japan. It has its own uniqueness to it that can be both charming and fascinating while showing the potential pros and cons of said culture. I've watched a quite a few videos detailing Japanese culture and history and enjoyed learning many things. It would be cool to live there, but I wouldn't be able to fit in as much as a foreigner. That and I absolutely suck at learning foreign languages.

And there isn't any shame in digging dat BOOTY! Swiggity swooty! I'm coming for that booty!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with booty Yarrr harrr harr !
