I just started a replay of RF4 and I was immensely disturbed by Xiao Pi or however you spell her name's intro? I don't remember her butt squishing against the screen and I just have to ask... why? What were they thinking? And what sort of perspective would the protag have to be looking from to see her butt squish against the 3ds screen. It was very, as Arthur said, meta. Overall, I am freaked out.

I think it's just fanservice.

The tripping fits her character, but the butt was a bit unexpected.

I guess it's fanservice but logically it... doesn't even work?

I haven't even thought of the MC's position yet, but that definitely makes it weirder.

Might just be a Japanese culture thing, if they get a kick out of that. Having her fall shows us that she's clumsy, but specifically having her butt land on the camera is pretty repulsive or distasteful, at least for me. :lol:
Hopefully she didn't actually land on top of the MC's face...

Yeah, things like that can be pretty immersion breaking for me, specifically when it's in a game you didn't expect that from.

See, that's what I'm thinking. If we're assuming she isn't falling on the camera, that means that her intro is her sitting on the mc's face...
