NARRATIVE. The very thign you claim it doesn't support, it does. The point of the colourful riders is to support the idea that these games are for kids, but they're not.

And also visual interest. Colour and detail are good things, not just for kids, for EVERYONE. That's the same kind of flawed mindset that believes Superman should be all dark colours instead of bright red, blue and yellow. Faiz may be dark, but he's also super boring and generic looking. (no offense Faiz suit fans)

Now, it's to sell toys of those numerous little trinkets, which would seem is right up your alley?

Did... did you just pull the "you play with toys" card on this site?

You know, the site DEVOTED to that, which you are also a part off?

EVERY rider series is designed to sell toys. Certainly the entire Heisei era. Faiz sold toys.

So you say.

Luckily you do not decide was discussion is and is not.

From the get go, you in particular, have tried turning this into some kind of "defend gaim because its so complex and not at all silly" argument, instead of discussing the question I put forward.

The discussion you put forward is "when will rider series be dark again."

They already are. People are mentioning Gaim because it clearly demolishes the very title of this thread.
