Then explain something to me:

How does increasing Lightning's cup size and giving her over 80 sexually provactive costumes 'improve the story'??

I'm not saying a girl that wears a miniskirt is an object... I'm saying that Kitase and Toriyama increasing Lightning's cup size and giving her sexually revealing cosutmes are sexually objectification, nothing more.

I'm not saying theres anything wrong or right with it. I am saying this is nothing to do with the story, or developing Lightning's personality. This is Playboy fanservice for the purpose of selling more copies.

So it's fanservice. How is it bad for fans ?

I haven't said its bad for the fans. If you enjoy Playboy fan service, thats good for you, it dosen't have anything to do with me.

It was you who said "I don't think it's sexist or whatever".

The point is that this is sexual objectification of women. My personal views on the matter are irrelevant; if you like the game then its up to you how you spend your time and your money, its nothing to do with me if you buy the game.

However Shrouded Darkness did try to insult Ninja Theory for developing belieavble female characters without taking off their clothes.

The point being, Square Enix is now resorting to sexual objectification to sell their games, this individual has nothing to say on the matter. Neither does Digital Devil Summoner.

Its just amazing to me that developers who focus on creating relatable characters are insulted while developers who sexually objectify women are exhaulted.

Its good for some fans yes. But for fans such as myself who are looking for deeper characters and more mature storytelling, well its not good for us. I'll go back to playing Bioshock Infinite, DmC and The Last of Us; games where women don't have to take off their clothes to be taken seriously.
