Chicken-chan and Gloria got a lot of fanart. Before them Serena, Rosa, Hilda, Dawn, May, all winners and totally memorable. What went wrong?

>What went wrong?
Using the characters as just a blank template for customization and opening the game with the character creation screen, never giving you a chance to see them in their vanilla state except for marketing in which they are still placeholders. They were intentionally made basic because no one would ever see them like that anyway.

But as OP has stated, all the MCs of the latest games have all had good designs whilst still being customizable.
These two literally just look like background characters or NPCs rather than playable characters. A blank slate in the worst sense, they're little more than mannequins at that point.

Art direction for SV is shit in general, it is not just the player characters' design that is ugly and unmemorable.

You can barely customize these tho, you get a grand total of 4 "different" school outfits that barely change (the DLC will change that finally)

and hats/glasses/socks

He's talking about character customization anon, not clothes. There's tons of different options for eyes and mouths, things that were never customizable before

Are there? I haven't played the games but in every video I've seen of it, the PC's face looks pretty much the same.

These characters cater to woke standards, and thus qualify for ESG blackrock funding, because marxism is all about collectivism and homogenization all for the sake of communism.
And as we all know, marxist bullshit STIFLES creativity.

I'd much prefer more clothing options than 30 different eye lashes, but that's my definition of "customizable" i guess, SV protags look almost identical anyhow and neither is memorable for their highly customizable face

I know they're all still customizable, I'm just saying they said "Why bother?" since everyone customizes anyway, no need for a base character.

seeing as you can completely customize your character before even starting game play proper and the anime isn't using the design no one likely remembers these nothing designs.

You start off in the default design for Swsh still, not for Gen 9
