It’s certainly possible that it might not be a boob joke, considering the fact that it’s not like Mi-ha is actually very small in the bust department herself, but she’s still a far cry from Ivy in either bust or height or even muscle mass or anything else in general. Viewer’s choice, I suppose, but it works in either context. If it’s a boob joke, it’s more about mocking Ivy’s ridiculousness more than anything else (like the cheeky question about her outfit you can ask in Libra of Soul), but if it’s not, then yes, it’s befitting Mi-na’s cocky and brash behavior.Are we sure it's a reference to their relative bust sizes? It might just be a reference to the fact that Ivy has a foot and a half in height over Mina, and says pretty confidently that she's going to enjoy whipping her about. Couldn't it just be Seong-Mina saying "don't get cocky"? Or is there extra context that I am missing that seals the deal that this a boob joke?
Perhaps it's mostly the matter of how I remembered that. I do not mind those things on their own but something made me remember Mina as a strong character and SCVI making her obsessed over Ivy's breasts. Now I think both those memories are incorrect at least partially. Will need to revisit her story I think
I won’t say she doesn’t come across as a bit more naïve in this game, because she certainly does, but it’s more along the lines of this being relatively early in her experience, I think, than anything else. She’s more in her rebellious phase here, between SoulBlade and SoulCalibur II, than she wises up a bit by the time SoulCalibur III and SoulCalibur IV happen. Though even then, SoulCalibur III Mi-na has her mocking Hwang’s “I shall conquer... the evils of the ages!” line, as well as her victory quote “Want me to teach you... how to use that sword? Hehe.”, so it’s not like she’s not without childish play and mannerisms.I actually have the same impression. Dante may very well be correct about the antics being faithful to previous lore, but insofar as how Mina is presented, I definitely remember her coming off as more mature in SE-SCIII; I feel that they've retconned her age somewhat, or at least her apparent age.
Which may be more a failing of the creation system itself, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable at all that more parts in general shouldn’t be able to be taken apart and repurposed. Again, budget restraints, maybe, but I’m not entirely sure.It's just like with the pirate jacket - in of itself it would be a great item but the fact that they force us to use that ridiculuos bra is baffling. Especially since it doesnt seem like a lot of work to dettatch bra, make it a seperate item and then we would have one more item.
Edit: Typo fix.
