>>53794590You're completely missing the point. These designs almost always made an attempt to be mythologically faithful, even if it was in a abstract or thematic matter. That Persophone looks weird and out there, but it's still consistent with her origins of being split, seasons, and the pomegranate.
Diaper Odin may be boring but doesn't fundamentally go against the idea of Odin. Rune Odin is one of Kaneko's best because it captures Odins role as a god of magic and runes. And it's a newer design that was made for Soul Hackers as Kaneko's art and design process was evolving. Devil Summoner games have a different approach to demons anyway
Demeter, however, has absolutely no reason to be a little girl. It only exists to be pandering to a fetish
It's a Fate tier design
>Atlus themselves seems to encourage the disparity considering that none of the artists they brought on for SMTIV even tried to match Kaneko's style.They were brought in because the staff was filled with tokufags, it's after Kaneko left atlus, a big mistake
