It doesn't help that one of their guests was openly lashing out at the idea of good looking men in a recent interview. (Yet mysteriously promoting 'waifu' characters at the same time).

I'd also point to things such as Hien's outfit. I won't say it's terrible but it has obvious texture issues and is a blatant adjustment of an existing asset. Lyse and Yotsuyu had much more effort put into making their attire look good and smooth - despite both playing less of a role overall in Stormblood than the Prince of Doma.
Mind linking that interview i'm interested.

He was only the Prince until we liberated Doma so by lv68 he was King (reckless King given what he does but King nonetheless) still doesn't excuse that texture though surprised they let it get like that.
