This video takes a look at the video game series Star Fox and at a recently translated interview from 2002, which reveals Shigeru Miyamoto’s and Takaya Imamura’s inspiration behind Krystal’s character design - who is a character introduced in the series starting with Star Fox Adventures for the Nintendo GameCube. Alongside this, the interview also discusses Imamura’s thoughts on the character designs produced by British company Rare.

If memory serves me right, Krystal’s design was the sole reason my mother would forbid me from ever getting this game back in the day. My father got it for me the next day without question whatsoever
Your dad’s a real “G.” 😂👍
Your dad's a king.
Your dad's a furry
@@StudioUAC I was about to say that 🤣
mom: no its too mature.
dad: hell yeah, time to grow up.
Miyamoto was definitely onto something here
No wonder he puts Mario in different animal costumes.
Heh, furry
The character design is definitely an improvement, clothing aside. Thankful for that. But yes, Starfox and Starfox 64 were very much about war, bioweapons -- Krystal's primal-meets-technology interaction is just a well-precedented extension of that sci-fi / sci-fantasy plot trope.
@@marianokaz1503 Basically they are furries. He even said that the look of Krystal would appeal to the japanese audience which shows the japanese are furries and see nothing wrong with it which is interesting. The west should be more accepting like that.
Japan sure likes their animal folklore
"He then goes on to further expand."
When talking about furries, phrasing is important.
Oh, I'm expanding all right.
Konkey Dong
Expand Doggy
I do knot think so
Expand dong.
"Wait, miyamotos a furry?"
"Always has been."
Miyamoto probably thought furries were the same as human women.
And this is the reason we haven't had another Star Fox game, he didn't want to be known as a furry
I mean, Raccoon Suits, Link's Wolf and Rabbit form, THE ENTIRE CAST OF STAR FOX!?
Yeah, funny animals are a thing he's into.
Why do you ask, he's always been putting Mario in different animal costumes over the years.
At least it's about Furries and not Children I guess... Look him in the eyes in any given photo... Could've been about children.
James Cameron in 2009: "My new movie, Avatar, has a totally unique lead female character, like nothing anyone's thought of before. She's a blue, pterodactyl-riding tribal princess with a tail."
Inamura and Miyamoto (in unison): "A-HEM..."
Avatar is a space themed Pocahontas...
Hot Take:
Avatar was overrated, and was an an average sci-fi movie that used 3d effects and CGI to cover for a mediocre story.
Jackass 3d had better 3d effects, and this is the same movie were they launch a dildo at Ryan Dunn's face in Slo-mo.
@@eyeguydojima7131 It's not a hot take when it's true. Take away the visual effects and it becomes obvious that Cameron just put Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves and Ferngully in a blender and made a 3 hour movie from what came out. He may as well have just called it "Dances With Smurfs."
Meh, James Cameron's Avatar is my favorite movie ever, although I happily admit that's only due to the setting and effects.
Other than the setting and effects, as has already been stated, it's just Pocahontas/Dances With Wolves, but in space and with aliens. Nothing special in terms of story. I just love looking at the scenery in the movie, personally.
Krystal probably WASN’T a tribal girl to begin with.
So basically Miyamoto thought it'll be funny to introduce kids to furry
No, he just wanted to broadened their horizons... in more ways than one. ;)
I feel like Space Jam did a pretty good number on that already, considering Lola Bunny. Krystal was just the confirmation of "oh yeah, you're really into this stuff, and this just solidifies it."
Space jam anyone ? Lol 😂
@@byronlyons3548 That's the movie side of things. Tawna did that with the video game side of things.
@Censorship's For Pussies 😐😑😐
Krystal is a fine addition.
; )
Absolutely
to my "homework" folder
To my encrypted folder.
This video makes me pretty damn confident that Miyamoto was probably a fan of Bowsette
Well. We know he's not a prude... Something normal among Japanese salary men. If they were given artistic control over most projects they'd be full of fan service.
To follow up on that, Sakurai himself has implied he would show all characters from Smash in their original intentions, censorship be damned, if not for the American and Japanese rating systems.
@@chaoscontroller316 I understand why people hate children now
@Censorship's For Pussies Imagine no more bitching about Palutena's dress, or Solid Snake able to use legitimate firearms, just as one example.
@@chaoscontroller316 Mai might of even made it into the background of the stage for Terry too, if people didn't bitch about that kind of thing.
One thing is for certain.
If Krystal ever comes back to a Star Fox game in the future, it is going to sell really well even if it's gameplay is not as good as previous games in the franchise.
Unfortunately no because this is the SJW Feminist era, they would completely change her
@@Daniel-Rain-YT Japanese people are pretty immune to that sort of stuff though
@@TheRealSorav Capcom says HI
The gameplay is fine, fym
@@Daniel-Rain-YT no they wouldn't
I would love more Krystal, but they keep rebooting the series.
Yeah I wanted Krystal to be a permanent addition :(
It's difficult to say if Zero is a reboot imo. I want to see Krystal and Panther return. They can't live off of 64/Lylat Wars.
More Krystal Please
I liked Crystal on Star Fox Assault, I think that game gets way to much hate, I tough it was fun, and in my opinion she was a fine replacement for Peppy, who was already retired from the team at that point.
Yeah, then Cuthbert and Imamura had the balls to break the relationship between her and Fox and make the two of them hateful to fans. It’s been 15 years and I don’t think they’ll fix the mistake that is Command. I Luv her in both Adventures and Assault and it was good they put her in a Smash game, but I don’t think there’s hope for sequels. But if they do fix the mistake they made, unlikely but if and when they do, I just wish Fox and Krystal would rekindle their relationship after Fox takes a bullet for her.
@@Wildboyz6913 Doesn't Command have multiple endings?
@@HarmonyBunny Only 9. All of them are non-canon
@@Wildboyz6913 dylan cuthbert literally said command isnt canon so there's technically nothing to rekindle
@@MastaGambitDylan Cuthbert never did confirm that Command is non-canon. He said it’s an alternate timeline game where the player makes the choice. But he and Imamura never should have made it. He also said if the series were to continue, it would take place in the middle of Command so there’s still hope for rekindling Fox and Krystal’s relationship
I think Miyamoto is the only person that could see animals riding space ships as something mature
Well, him and the guys who made the "Hc Svnt Dracones" TTRPG...
Adult japanese LOVE Disney characters like Mickey and Donald Duck...
Weird people indeed.
Relatively to mario
If you’ve seen A Fox in Space (a series on UA-cam based on star fox), it actually shows how mature the star fox universe can get. Space mercenaries are pretty gritty in concept
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not a furry... but Krystal does things to me
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
Who do furries love more, Krystal or Lola Bunny?
Both.
@@warmac88 And much, much more.
Alot
Too many to count
Krystal personally >w
How about giving her her own spin-off game, like Krystal's Quest or someting to that effect?
I agree. It could be like a prequel to Star Fox Adventures, where Krystal saves Sauria from an ancient evil, explaining the origin of her magic staff and more of her backstory.
Ah, a man of culture.
This game was hers, but they jammed Star Fox into it
@@TrueInvisible Kystal gets very friendly with those SharpClaws
That would be awesome.
Honestly a ton of Nintendo side characters should really get their own games.
Yes, bring back Krystal and more importantly, bring back StarFox!!!!!!
We found the real reason there is no new Star Fox. They can't make it sexy enough for Miyamoto! Suddenly all of those "suits" in the Mario series make a whole lot more sense.
Considering StarFox Assault, I can definitely see how he would see the series as a more mature one. I hope the next game, if we get one, draws more inspiration from Assault than 64.
And yet the entire series is inspired by the muppets. Bit of a mood whiplash.
@@2Blades564 I guess that makes Andross the boxseat hecklers.
@@2Blades564could be. Miyamoto is a big fan of Thunderbirds, with that being where he got the lip flapping in 64 from.
I came here thought it was a April fools video...
It's not
@@justafox-wi5qk tbh , i was waiting for a Rick Roll while watching the vid 😆
So it appears that Imamura and Miyamoto are Men of Culture.
Where I am from we put "men of culture" in gulags.
re-education camps***
Hell yeah dude
@@FubbleSmurf Sounds like wherever you're from is awful then. I hope you get out of there soon, best of luck.
@Auran Crash Good, it could use a rebranding. People have been misusing the word pervert for a while imo.
TBH, we all just wanna a new starfox continuation game, not only Krystal, but everyone!
Ironic that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is
rated E-10, yet Krystal as an Assist Trophy there uses her more skimpier outfit from Star Fox Adventures.
Not to mention that they modelled her...ekhm...private parts
@@tygra2886 which private parts?
@@yurigagarine6998 Her, ekhm...Va*ina
If you search on the internet, you would find screenshots of it :v
@@tygra2886 Nice. First I was like "didn't they think of the kids?!"
But then I realized only 30 year-olds play this game anyway.
Sakurai: Smash is a game for good boys and girls.
Also Sakurai: Let's use the adventures Krystal design for her assist trophy and also have her go commando.
In all seriousness it's probably because she's a vixen and not a human. In a similar vein as to how you can get away with showing gore at a lower age rating if it's robots being dismembered.
They made a WISE DECISION ...
A wise decision indeed :)
Even people who hate furries cannot resist her.
Nope
Deep inside all humans have a furry side. But most are not aware of it, and the damaging reputation media gave to furries makes them reluctant to admit it.
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo
I would say the whole anthro animal thing has been around for literally as long as humankind has existed on this planet. Documented as far back as the Egyptians, the Romans, feudal Japan, Medieval Europe the list goes on and on and on. The exact nature of the proclivities shall we say can depend and maybe some of it is much more modern but I feel like yes deep down everyone has certain feelings they keep hidden.
But as I say as long as it ain't illegal and everyone's consenting it's all good.
@@xXSilentAgent47Xx Ayy lmao
@@xXSilentAgent47Xx ay lmao
I think Krystal is a likeable & sexy character with untapped potential. Let's hope she appears in more games.
Unlikely given Starfox refuses to go too far past the OG Starfox 1 plot and Starfox 1 3 (SF Zero) sucking.
People seem to forget that outside of the thirsty furries, Krystal had quite the hatedom back in the day demanding she be removed from the franchise.
@@wakkaseta8351 I do like the game as I still have & play my copy occasionally. I guess I'm one of those who has forgotten that she was hated as I don't recall that having been a thing at that time.
In any case, it appears after all this time that there are more SF fans/supporters of the franchise who do like the Krystal character than those who do not as there's not much hate-media to be found on the net since & after each appearance of her.
Let's see if the temporary fusion of both the Metroid & Star Fox franchise occurs for one game as Nintendo supposedly was kicking around that idea several years ago. Would be an interesting concept.
I was just thinking of this whole thing just literally 10 mins ago cuz I was thinking of the difference between western furry art, and eastern, and how this game is a great example of showing the difference at the time. Eastern furry art back then is more like how you would describe furry art now (done by western artists) where there is an elongation of the muzzle and a use of more vibrant fur colors. But, Dinosaur Planet's designs are much more akin to old-style furry art that you would see on old geocities pages and stuff, and in stuff that was trying to be like Disney, where its flatter and highly-stylized with intense expression in the faces and more watercolor-like. IDK its hard to describe but if you be a furry you will probably get what I'm saying.
You clearly have a lot of deep seated issues that even god can't resolve... my condolences.
@@theloanranger2632 What? What are you basing that on?
@@ibigfire If it's not obvious, you share the same terrible, vile, ailment. I'm sorry.
@@theloanranger2632 Why don't you explain what this "ailment" is? If it really is an ailment like you say, then you might be able to help someone by informing them. And if it's not an ailment, we can help you understand why it isn't.
I'm a furry, and I just barely understand, but I'm giving a Like because I appreciate the amount of thought you put into this.
I kinda wish you'd included a picture of that vampirella character in the video for comparison.
Vampirella & Krystal have NOTHING in common. Miyamoto was probably lying when he said that.
Dan Avidan: "I don't care who you are, that's hot."
I think that Krystal should have her own game. Let her be the protagonist for once and let her go on a mission or quest to rescue Fox McCloud who's held capture by the enemy(male or female). I still like her bikini clad outfit since the start of Star Fox Adventures.
She was the protagonist before anyway in Dinosaur Planet
They're wasting the franchise not doing anything with it!
Fox being captured? Unlikely
I like Krystal design a lot. She really fits the Star Fox's crew and is both sexy and cute. I think it's at the right level.
And thus the queen of furries was born. Sitting next to Renamon and Lola Bunny.
And then Warner Brothers gave Lola a couple of mastectomies and broke her legs so they'd atrophy and heal wrong, casting her from the throne-
But her memory would live forever in the hearts of many a funky freak on the internet.
* Gardevoir would like to know your location *
Actually, there has actually been more art of Lola recently in spite of that event.
I have been into furries all my life and Lola Bunny never seems common. Something that pops up every now and again. Especially not compared to Renamon, Gardiviour or Pikachu and Eevee. Right now Judy Hopps is huge.
I think Lola Bunny wasn't furry exclusive.
So it was, indeed, intentional how she would go on to be portrayed in $upah Nin-10-Doh.
Yep
It's good to know Miyamoto thinks Star Fox as a more mature series. I would like the series move forward with that direction. Assault was a good step towards that direction. Command was a step back and Zero was just another retelling of the Lylat Wars. Krystal should stay.
But not Zelda?
I really like Krystal. People say she is way to sexual but to me the tribe style is on point with a few common ideas of tribes around the world. Krystal herself never really did anything that sexual. I have always like this character and thought all the hate was a bit to far. Her design never bothered me. I have wanted her to pop up more.
I hate to hurt your feelings, but did it ever occur to you that Krystal could’ve gotten that bra & loincloth on Sauria?
@Torsten Jonsson But she isn’t wearing anything under the loincloth in Smash Ultimate.
@Torsten Jonsson Oh.
Wtf Miyamoto is a secret furry?!
Lol
Yes, yes he is. 😂😂
Who says he kept that a secret? ;)
@@Malcadon O:>
That why Mario has cat suit...
It's a good thing she looks like that.
Your Meat after opening so many incognito tabs your PC crashes.
@@jahrfuhlnehm lol & then it crashes again just for the fun of it.
Ew
Yum
UwU
For a moment, seeing that video title on that channel made me think Krystal was censored, which would have been really surprising.
Honestly, I would like Krystal to come back. Although, who knows if we'll ever get a new Star Fox game.
Same here dude.
We definitely will
If we do it'll likely just be a rehash of what Miyamoto tried to pull w/ Zero. I think some character-specific spinoff titles would be awesome. Maybe a Star Wolf game that's a prequel to SF1.
Star Fox: Rated M for Miyamoto wanted something sexy.
Alternate title: "The real reason why Krystal looks bangin in Star Fox" 😄
😂😂😂
LOL I can't believe he just called out Miyamoto like that.
In order for Krystal to appear in a new Star Fox, there has to be a new Star Fox that isn't a copypaste of the SNES version
Also, yes, I am a furry
What about making it a bit like Star Fox 2 crossed with Starlink: Battle for Atlus.
I’m a furry to let’s goooooo……!!!!!
I am glad Krystal fights at least as an Assist trophy. It's some interactive form and floats her relevance a little further then it would've been without inclusion.
little did they know they were setting a bomb for one of the biggest corner stones for furry r34 and turning a lot of Nintendo kids to furrys (also ever noticed all the sexualized foxes in games in media? maid Marian. renamon final form. Carmelita. etc )
even zoroark gets a lot of furry art
Well, we do have Braixen and Delphox also...
NINTENDO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!. DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT UNHOLY EVIL YOU HAVE UNLEASHED UPON THIS WORLD?!
Krystal and Lola are the only two furry characters you can like without it counting as you being a furry
what about the upper paleolithic lion man statue from germany
@@Bacony_Cakes Oh yeah.
Krystal was one of the main reasons why I bought the game. Proves sex appeal will always sell.
Your statement just proves that fools and their money are easily parted, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
@@wakkaseta8351 Why does someone have to be a fool to buy something based on sex appeal? Isn't sex appeal a valid appeal, just like all the other appeals of a game? If not, why is it invalid?
@@Odima16
It shows that all you have to do is slap a hot girl on the front and people will buy even the most shallow, incomplete, or even predatory garbage. Genshin Impact's a good showing of this.
@@wakkaseta8351 i agree about the part using sex appeal to sell games, this is a very common practice specially in the mobile market, but saying a game is bad just for that very reason, it seems baised to me, i played starfox adventures and i find it very fun, there is tons of games with hot girls and still good games, most famous i can think of is the tomb raider series, also bayonetta is a very good and fun beat em up too.
@@wakkaseta8351 We have a short time living on this rock, if guys like look at attractive women who cares.
Miyamoto was right. Sadly Nintendo has done nothing interesting for adults since the mid 00's. In fact their ip's just keep getting more and more kid friendly and bland.
Especially with the not interesting games anymore.
The reason why furries exist.
One of many reasons one of many many reasons!!!
Lol
Actually, there were many reasons before Krystal existed.
@@window9774 A fellow man of culture I see
@@Eleaor_F. yeah I'm not a furry just pointing out the obvious
"Wouldn't it be good to add a slightly sexy character?"
Umm, hello? Slippy? :|
Going by the commments sections, Slippy's uncompressed voice certainly awakened things in a lot of people.
@@wakkaseta8351 "Here comes a big one!"
japan beam: sexy furry
west beam: return to puritan
Which one is more popular, the sales figures will show.
That makes me very happy to hear that Miyamoto views Star Fox as more mature than most of Nintendo’s IPs, and I hope he still feels that way to this day. Star Fox certainly has some dark subjects in its storyline that aren’t really meant for little kids, and I’d love to see a Star Fox game with a more dark and gritty storyline. Maybe even one that earns an M rating? Ok, that last part is wishful thinking, but still.
Unironically the best thing to ever happen to the franchise.
Considering how trash the franchise is, that wasn't a very high bar to achieve in the first place.
I want a whole game about Krystal :)
Same here. Especially her in that tribal outfit.
If Nintendo make a new game for StarFox let's hope they include her begin as a good side. Gawd, I can't stand for what they did to her in SF Command. Whoever is in charge as the writer, she/he fired from Nintendo.
The writer was probably working for the developer, which was a third party containing some of the people who worked on the original Star Fox for the SNES, including the guy who helped developed the Super FX chip that made the polygons possible as well as a 3D game for the Gameboy.
@@foxymetroid Then explained why the writer make Krystal as a cold-hearted vixen all because of Fox wanted to protect her life by just kick her out of the team but she went to far after she join with StarWolf, dating with Panther, betrayal StarFox by left them in Katina and stole their Great Fox. Soon, later every civilians of Corneria bully her which result for her begin miserable change her new life as a bounty hunter name Kursed.
I hate Krystal in SF Command even the game too because there is no happily ever after.
@@ericxoring7105 Probably from Q-games. That always seemed too mean and fanfictiony to have come from Nintendo.
@@foxymetroid Q-games?
@@ericxoring7105 Third party developer started by the lead programmer of the original Star Fox for the SNES. They helped develop both Command and the 64 3D.
Yes, I want Krystal to appear in another Star Fox game, we need answers to the questions not only her introduction left us in Star Fox Adventures but, answers to her story as well. For instance: What exactly was she doing with Star Wolf for all that time she was seperated from Fox and co.? How did she meet up with them? What kind of person did she turn into when she adopted the name Kursed and became a solo Bounty Hunter? How did the Krystal we know, come to be Kursed? Alot of these questions can be answered with assumptions and guesses but, it'd be nice to know how Nintendo answers these issues and more.
I remember playing Star Fox Adventures months ago and the recently leaked Dinosaur Planet prototype, and I always thought how the character looked before the Gamecube development transition.
With the failure of the Wii U which also made Star Fox Zero got a bad reception (although the Switch version of Starlink: Battle for Atlas brought the series back) it is not necessary to make a new game - unless Star Fox Zero gets remastered (and removed all Wii U specific elements) like the recent Mario Wii U titles.
I want to see her return, either in a sequel to Assault, a remake/ reboot of Adventures where she's playable throughout the game rather than just the tutorial, or a remake of Assault where she's the tutorial character, completing her Arwing training while the player learns the controls. Also, add co-op to the Assault remake. Assault was supposed to have co-op, but that was scrapped.
Krystal needs a comeback.
Who's cuter, Krystal or Minnie Mouse?
For me, Both.
She needs to be reintroduced to the series. I don't want anymore wierd Starfox remakes.
You don't want StarFox 64 rehashed for you for the 4th time?
@@wakkaseta8351 hell no
@@wakkaseta8351 Starfox 64 was a remake of the snes starfox, and later we got starfox zero and starfox 3d. If we get another it will be the 5th version of the first game. Krystal would likely return if they just made another new entry. Personally I want them to just make a sequel to Assault and pretend Command didnt happen. Command had one ending where the team simply went back to the way it was in Assault anyway.
Yeah, no more retellings of the Lylat Wars. It’s bad enough that Mario games repeat the same formula, what with Peach being kidnapped.
I remember playing Dinosaur Planet at E3 a year before it was converted into Star Fox. Would have been interesting to see if that would have continued into a franchise had it not been converted.
Considering the time frame and what happened after the buy-out, it's unlikely. Rare's N64-era games didn't receive too many sequels. BanjoKazooie was "lucky" enough to get a mediocre GBA platformer and a vehicle-building sequel, Perfect Dark got a mediocre prequel, and Conker got a remake that was somehow more censored on a supposedly more "mature" console. Seriously, Nintendo, a company infamous for censorship, published the version of Conker where he was allowed to cuss without it being bleeped out.
It's unlikely the game would have gotten a sequel unless it was as popular as Halo or GTA.
@@foxymetroid Still, it would be the closest to Zelda that the Xbox community would have gotten.
"...i drew a ton of pictures."
me too my boy me too
Miyamoto is furry confirmed.
With me generally liking star fox games Krystal should have more appearances, maybe just a couple parts in future games where you play as her
I always liked Krystal, and i just knew she had to be inspired by imprisoned Princess Leia or something in the vain of that look (Vampirella kinda falls into that risque realm of design). I'm all about some sex appeal and badassery in my female characters! Would Luv to see Krystal appear in more prominent role in the future 👌
Krystal looks NOTHING like Vampirella! Leia’s slave outfit, I get. But Vampirella? Hell no!
Interesting
"would you want Krystal to make an appearance again in the StarFox franchise?"
Man tbh, I'd take any Star Fox game. I don't this franchise to die
She needs an amiibo.
I'll take one.
Pretty interesting information here. I didn’t know Mr. Miyamoto wanted to make Star Fox a bit “more mature.” Considering the dark story Star Fox Assault had, I’m not too surprised at the revelation.
Miyamoto was probably lying about the Vampirella part, because Krystal looks NOTHING like her.
She deserves a full game for herself, a starfox spin off, before or after, as long as there's a proper story
i thought krystal is already a part of the team now
I hate starfox command.
I feel like I just learned about a sex crazed furry and that was the extent of it.
I thought this was an april's fool's joke
She looks cool enough, interesting see the though of Miyamoto back then
Well, I guess Nintendo's Krystal was sexier but her original design was pretty provocative and adorable too, and I quite like it more.
I like both
Interestingly, the N64 version had jiggle physics!
@@pureevil9496 Wh-what did I just re- that's some interesting tech info nonetheless
Miyamoto be like: "We need to appeal to the adult fans, so let's change this female character's design to be more "appealing" to them. What? The adult fans want a little bit more story in our games? Are they crazy? Rosalina's diary from Super Mario Galaxy was already way too much! Let's cut all the story from our first party games, even the RPGs!"
Miyamoto's idea of adult themes is obviously the shallow tripe 90% of teens think is "mature".
@@wakkaseta8351 Star Fox backstory already had a grim backstory, it’s more of add on top of what already exist as a “Mature” game in the eyes of Miyamoto.
Is this an April Fools joke that just happened to land on April 2nd due to timezones?
Glad Nintendo has some balls
Ha! They don't know that most of us furries are mostly not straight. Wolf all the way baby.
Who wouldn't want Krystal to return in a future Star Fox game?!
Nintendo themselves.
"Purists" that hate everything released after Star Fox 64, not counting its remakes.
Lola and Krystal the two patron saints of the furry religion.
Of course they knew that what they were doing was Krystal same as Lola. they may have tried to change who they were but you can't change the origins no matter how hard you try to bury them.
Someone seems to be forgetting about Renamon.
@@wakkaseta8351
I guess it is a trinity.
Of course that's just for most people.
Not just Krystal, alongside her i also like to see those two female pilots from StarFox 2 make a return too.
I would love to see her in her own game or in another Star Fox game. Great character. They need to keep the same design and style.
I want krystal too have her own game still
I've been working on some ideas for Krystal that are concepts so far.
I'm attracted to no furry art... but that fox... that fox did things to me...
I find it interesting that Miyamoto wanted to make Star Fox more mature. And honestly, I would love that. Take the series A Fox in Space for example, absolutely stellar stuff.
It was already one of Nintendo's more mature franchises. Star Fox 64's backstory had betrayal and possible torture/murder, which kept getting brought up throughout the game. It's not GTA or Resident Evil, but it's certainly darker than Mario.
Then again, Nintendo's no stranger to darker themes. Majora's Mask takes place in the 72 hours before the space rock-based apocalypse while Wind Waker takes place after a water-based apocalypse. Pikmin gave the title creatures some personality and then required you to use them as cannon-fodder.
@@foxymetroid I mean yeah, it's a little dark for the intro story and a few lines during gameplay. But as a kid, a lot of that flew over our heads. (at least for me)
Majora's Mask on the other hand, I definitely felt that more mature vibe. And even years later did I learn how much darker some things were in it that I never noticed as a kid.
And of course, Nintendo isn't too scared to throw in some dark stuff in their games. (Although they've been a little shy recently)
Take Kirby 64 with the planet that pretty much is an abandoned Earth after some apocalypse. Hell, even Twilight Princess has some weird things. They definitely do it from time to time. But what I'm taking from that interview with Miyamoto is that he wanted to make it more of a Teen rated game rather than an E or E-10+ rating.
EDIT: I just checked and realized Adventures and Assault are both Teen rated already. Whoops.
Zero also introduced hints of speciesism in the galaxy, but didn't really go anywhere with that. Though to be honest, it wasn't really needed and just cheapened Andross' motivations a bit.
Star Fox more mature? the females of Lylat could have a sex appeal.
Donald Duck: Hey, what's the big idea?!
HA! Krystal was always meant to be seen as an button pushing character. no way Miyamoto agreed with this, this is so interesting lol.
When it comes to Star Fox being envisaged by Shiggy as "Mature", I think that this may have to do with the grimness of the setting. The extravagant loss of life, biome destruction by war machine societies, and of course all the pilots having their legs chopped off and replaced with cybernetics to prevent them from suffering G Force Asphyxia.
I think the character designer just took some liberties with Krystal and Shiggy didn't care that much by that point.
1. Star Fox 64's backstory has a Star Fox team member betray the others, leading to the very possible death of James McCloud. Throughout the game, his alleged death keeps being brought up.
2. Those aren't cybernetics. Those models were puppets designed that way to mimic the style of "Thunderbirds", a 1960s TV show where all the characters were puppets with moving mouths. The "cybernetics" thing was a popular fan theory based on an assumption and a poor understanding of anatomy.
The cybernetic leg thing was just speculation based on earlier designs. It was never canon. From 64 onward it's clear they're just metal boots.
I just wish they'd let StarFox have a mature story too, if they see it that way. Not, like, blood and cussing and all that stuff, but concepts that resonate more with adults, and risks with the characters, like exploring their trauma on a deeper level.
But I guess Miyamoto just can't handle story, so his definition of "mature" is just surface level like having sexy cartoon characters.
Not that I mind. I'm a horrible degenerate furry myself. But I do think there's a ton of wasted potential in the StarFox franchise, and Krystal's a perfect microcosm of that wasted potential.
The issue is the disparity in perspective. The fans see it as a series with potential, Nintendo has only ever seen the series as a guinea pig for tech demos on whatever console's out at the time. That's why Nintendo-made Starfox games are so gimmicky even compared to Nintendo's habit of sticking gimmicks in its other games, with Zero's forced gyroscope being the most egregious so far.
@@wakkaseta8351 Oh yeah. I'm well aware of the reason for the series's issues. At this point, I just wish Nintendo would relinquish the rights to the franchise so someone else could take up the reigns. Maybe when Miyamoto retires, someone can make something great with it though. Not holding my breath, but this is more about wishes than any practical reality.
He's not against story. Zelda had story. Star Fox was just a franchise he wanted to focus on gameplay and probably viewed anything beyond an excuse plot as a distraction, especially if it called for lengthy cutscenes.
@@foxymetroid He's not really in charge of Zelda anymore, so it was allowed to branch out. But he has a pretty consistent track record on story in games: www.wired.com/2009/06/super-mario-galaxy-2/

And he's the reason Paper Mario Origami King and future Paper Mario titles aren't allowed to have any new characters, just generic, unnamed ones. gamefragger.com/nintendo/paper-mario-the-origami-king-producer-reveals-why-they-cant-use-original-characters-any-more-a19738#gs.xchknf
Miyamoto is anti-story.
*sees title*
O.o
*Makes sure it's not April 1st*
O.o huh..... Who would have thought
Okay, please correct me but the fandom seems a little split. I definitely think they should bring Krystal back and just not pretend she never existed. She is smart, has telepathic powers, she is strong, brave and is not afraid of grabbing the bull by the horns (remember how she just grabbed the staff and began shooting some Krazoa Monkey bum, did not do too much but she did what she could with what she had)
In Assault she wasn't the best in arwing but she was great and fast in land body combat) she rocks, but sadly in my opinion game producers and all involved in command just kind of didn't liked her and tried to kick her out. In Star Fox Zero it's like she never existed, they barely mentioned Sauria once.
Instead of saying "this is canon and this is not" they should respect all fans and listen.
We love starfox being a space ship, shooter but we also love the story. And instead of rebooting and pretending certain lines never happened they should include and respect everything. Sheesh, it's a space game, there are tons of planets and systems, they already found humans in Zero, amazing things could happen if they just opened up a little... And bring Krystal, Miyu and Fay, they would rock all 3 together in the ship.
And Panther, haven't seen him since Assault too XD
Absolutely
Interesting
Too bad she hasn’t been featured in a Starfox game since 2006, but even then, in Command, her character was written so terribly and carrying on from Command’s story wouldn’t redeem her character.
But then again, IDK how they can continue the story after Command anyways...
Command. Is. Non-canon!
I like this interview, plain and simple, like the interviews with Yoko Taro. "I like sexy women, that's why I did it". Back in the day where you weren't subjected to humiliation and getting cancelled for simple things like that...
Not a furry, but damn, Krystal is lookin' good!
he needs to not only appear in more games, but make her playable, and not just for one part of the entire game, but a full playable role
Krystal for Smash Bros!
It's seriously long overdue for one.
Here's hoping she gets a spin-off or Starfox Adventures gets a remake or something
Shoutouts to Takaya and Miyamoto for this W
I never thought Star Fox being for a more mature audience. I noticed a pattern that Nintendo aims science fiction games at more mature audiences. Samus and possibly Captain Falcon are more for teens than kids.
Exactly
I really like krystal in more games but I’d prefer something more modest
Cool
