Gemma's design makes no sense for a smith.

[The Hand]

If you want lewd smith do apron with side boob and cleavage i don't mind sexy. Her hair is INSANE for a forge with all those moving parts and just smith work in general. That little braid? that will catch on fire, her belly showing is bad for smithy, no hair covering.

She looks like she was made with another role in mind.

Edit: You can say it's a game, It's not real,etc all you want it's just weird to me as they keep trying to move towards being more serious and realistic in some places but they make this bizarre design for a smith. She would have been better as a handler or something else with that design. She reminds me of the one bounty lady from world.

Edit 2: Again I don't mind how much skin she's showing it's more how it's showing for her role. If she was Handler, Bounty lady like world, or something else it wouldn't bug me at all. It's just an argument of I don't like it because it does not fit her role. Anyone arguing otherwise is missing the point.

She doesn't have the giant mitts of Little Miss Forge who has straps for lifting her overalls which COULD protect her in the forge. Mitts young smith in Iceborne has and I think even the original smith has, BOTH have belly protection which if your not aware is where sparks are most likely to hit. BOTH don't have hair dangling right by working parts (beard for original World smith is arguable). The young hunter even has his hair back it's much shorter and the guys in the back working use leather aprons.

They cared in World. They had a design that made sense. If you want sexy smith it's not hard and I like that too. Gemma is just awful design for a smith.

What the hunter wears does not affect her. Little Miss Forge at least had a GIANT hammer, Mitts, and overalls that could protect her. Hell Little Miss Forge didn't have a stupid half jacket thats going to trap hot air blasting out the forge and sweat her out.

Edit 3: Layered Armor and your Hunter creations are your choices in how you engage the world. You choosing to not engage in any level of realism to the games world (or lack of choice in regards of maintaining enjoyment) isn't an excuse for an NPC who is shaped by developers over several hours of work from multiple people to match the world.

Also how often is video game logic known to not be an excuse? Seems dishonest to try that. And even with that logic remember Cool Drink is a thing to prevent damage from heat. I'm quite sure plenty of you would be very engaged in watching an animation of sweaty Gemma gulping down a Cool Drink to stay cool. But Cool Drinks don't stop burns so even then.

Edit 4: Because many seem to unable to comprehend this I will clarify. It’s not purely about realism. It’s more about the departure from previous design within the games universe for the other human blacksmith’s.

Especially when Gemma has a much larger focus on her than any other blacksmith in the series as far as I can recall.

It's Japan.

She's not a real person she's a video game character.

It is a game, not real life.

this reminds me of people talking about cooking naked and instantly regretting it.

the doe-eyed, half-gasping glances she gives you and constant stretching when you are nearby is also suggestive too, but the irony is that the people who want this stuff in their games are usually not noticing those things.

I really don't like her stomach also. she is missing the angular bump by her belly button that would be fat to protect her Womb.

very odd face that does not animate well, especially with a smile.

I don't like any part of it. She's cute in her winter coat though, which proves she CAN wear clothes.

They should have had her dress similar to Little Miss Forge.

The leather jacket on a blacksmith is silly and I laughed about it.

a talking cat putting out a barrel 10x his size out of nowhere also makes no sense

that's even worse because it's a similar outfit, except she is a 9 year old there.

Let's get back to the talking cat part. I hear those and monsters aren't real either.
