Can they remake Final Fantasy VII without the Sexism? (EDIT: turned out to be fake!)

But was it oversexualization or just being inclusive to more body forms? :p

 

To claim it's just to appeal to male teens is to disregard all busty women who have existed long before silicone implants made such a figure available to all and an incredibly Sexist and derogatory view.

Eh, there's the saying that "sex sells", so it's hard to see the inclusion of busty women as merely a means to represent busty women. But it also needs to be said that oversexualisation is not sexism, so the article is really grasping for every straw. This includes the conclusion that a remake's purpose is to offer things that weren't possible at the time the original was produced; but really, most of the complaints seem to be directed at the writing, and different writing was certainly already possible back then. Overall, it's a very poorly argued article.

 

Indeed. I'm just fed up of everything being torn to shreds. It was a groundbreaking game for its time. I don't get the micro analysis of every aspect of every game. Surely a black guy having a gun built into their arm would be a far more concerning character design if you were going to go down that road?

 

Social commentary that all black guys shoot people? That seems to be the level of logic applied to these arguments.
