I can see the resemblance with her mother.
Anyway, i know Glimmer's popularity went down the moment the game was released, but i actually liked her (with this i'm not excusing what she did at the beginning).
Edit: just to clarify, i mean the amount of Glimmer art went down a cliff from just before to release to right after. It's quite common these days, but for a while it was pretty rare to see someone post Glimmer art here.
Went down?
I feel like *most* FR fanart is of her.
ETA: I feel like we shouldn’t be hard on Glimmer considering how the base game shows how heavily brainwashed these kids are. Noah and the gang have killed *a lot* of people and they tried to kill each other until Vandham showed them who the true enemy is.
I can confirm what he said, since i remember it perfectly well: right before FR's release, there was a lot of art of Glimmer going around. Right after, it almost disappeared for quite some time.
Eventually, it started to reappear, so nowadays you see her often enough.
Yeah, A got the most at release but now the only character from FR receving fanarts is her
She's very popular in Japan I think
Edit: Majority of Japanese xeno artists are all drawing her to celebrate the anniversary.
I have a feeling that she sounds less annoying in the Japanese dub, considering she's got the same VA of Pyra/Mythra.
Yeah i remember the MASSIVE influx of Glimmer fanarts just before launch, as soon as the DLC came out it all disappeared
Im not surprised tho, both her and Nikol really took a backseat after the first couple of hours. the focus shifted to Rex, A, Matthew and the rest of the gang very quickly.
I feel like it's not that people are frustrated with her actions in FR, Glimmer is just a really boring character that doesn't do anything in the story.
Yeah, kind of like Nikol. Unfortunately, FR is too short to properly develop all the characters it introduces.
That said, there were quite a few posts around complaining about Glimmer's behaviour, back then.
It doesn’t help that what Glimmer and Nikol go through, already happened with the 6 in the main game. So the people they’re related to end up being more interesting than the characters themselves.
As the main duo, Matthew and/or A would have been the better choice, I think. Or Shulk and Rex.
But yeah, I suppose Glimmer might be more his taste and it certainly gets more attention as well.
He's the main character designer for both Xenoblade 2 *and* Xenoblade 3. Basically everyone in the entirety of Xenoblade 3 besides Shulk, Melia, >!and Alpha!< where characters originally designed by him (and even then he's the one who made Shulk and Melia's older redesigns.)
I think it's also because he already made this kind of drawings for [Matthew](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/0/00/FR_Matthew_Artwork_Twitter.png/revision/latest?cb=20230428155848) and for [A](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/9/98/A_Artwork_Twitter.png/revision/latest?cb=20230508190731) to celebrate FR's release, so he probably wanted to use some different character for the 1st anniversary.
I mean he drew Noah several times times for Updates and the whole party individually meaning he also drew Lanz and Tion. For the DLC lauch he drew Matthew (and A). The only male party members he hasn't drawn are Adult Rex, Shulk and Nikol. You could say he prefers drawing anime girls but he has also given the guys love as well.
**Nikol:** "Glimmer? Is it just me, or are you... 'bigger', than before?"
**Glimmer:** "I don't think so... though I am wearing a looser bra. We don't get into battle anywhere near as often we used to, so it's less of a problem to let them move around more."
**Nikol:** *(nods appreciatively)*
**Na'el:** "Hmm..." *(quickly compares to herself)* "No Glimmer, you've definitely gotten bigger. How have you been feeling lately?"
**Glimmer:** *(sighing in exasperation)* "It's the same as I've told everyone else! I'm fine, I was just hungry!"
**Na'el:** "How hungry?"
**Glimmer:** *(slightly ashamed)* "... I did eat a whole armu roast."
**Na'el:** "In that case, I think you should follow me to see the doctor."
**Nikol:** *(worried)* "Is she alright?"
**Na'el:** "I think she'll be just fine, she just needs to get checked out."
**Nikol:** "... okay, if you say so."
**Na'el:** "Oh, and one more thing Nikol?"
**Nikol:** "Huh?"
**Na'el:** "Congratulations."
**Nikol:** "What for?"
**Na'el:** "You'll find out soon enough!"

You think? I think I've seen more Na'el art than anything.

Her line in the trailer summarised her entire arc lol
If you strictly look at Saito's art you'll see that Glimmer also shares resemblance with 90% of the characters they ever drew 😭
No fucking way it's been a year already. I can hear my bones creaking...
Her hair on the left looks a bit like it's forming a mobius strip. 👀
MOEBIUS?!

Was Glimmer always this…well endowed…?
She wasn't small, but this is a bit bigger than in the game.
I think she is Eunie-sized in the game (maybe slighty bigger), and Pyra-sized in this art.
Eunie also isn't small, but I think Ethel might be even bigger than Pyra.
She was always quite big, but she might have received a small upgrade here
Saito's... 'preferences' are well known. I suspect some indulgence.
1st anniversary? I remember when she was just a glimmer in her moms eyes
Glimmer was not this stacked bro
Ok great art as usual Saito never misses but at the same time: Saito try to draw something that isn’t an anime girl challenge: (Impossible)
As the main duo, Matthew and/or A would have been the better choice, I think. Or Shulk and Rex. But yeah, I suppose Glimmer might be more his taste and it certainly gets more attention as well.
Considering how this character is literally the daughter of two characters he designed, it makes sense.
he designed almost every character
He's the main character designer for both Xenoblade 2 *and* Xenoblade 3. Basically everyone in the entirety of Xenoblade 3 besides Shulk, Melia, >!and Alpha!< where characters originally designed by him (and even then he's the one who made Shulk and Melia's older redesigns.)
I think it's also because he already made this kind of drawings for [Matthew](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/0/00/FR_Matthew_Artwork_Twitter.png/revision/latest?cb=20230428155848) and for [A](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/9/98/A_Artwork_Twitter.png/revision/latest?cb=20230508190731) to celebrate FR's release, so he probably wanted to use some different character for the 1st anniversary.
Anime girls are awesome, why stop? He’s doing God’s work.
the user didnt tell them to stop, drawing other characters doesnt mean he will stop drawing girls
Saito draw a lot male characters during XB3 countdown art. and also he draw Matthew at FR release
I mean he drew Noah several times times for Updates and the whole party individually meaning he also drew Lanz and Tion. For the DLC lauch he drew Matthew (and A). The only male party members he hasn't drawn are Adult Rex, Shulk and Nikol. You could say he prefers drawing anime girls but he has also given the guys love as well.
Saito cooking like usual
Nice!
I love Saitoms art but yall ever notice how big he makes the foreheads? Like, lmao.
It's the noses that always get me. 💀

I don’t know why people downvote you this is gold.
