I'll certainly consider it a reduction in quality, even if it's a miniscule amount. Looking past the looks, the stereotypical nature of said characters and the annoying, one dimensional personalities we've seen as well are issues that stretch beyond subjective opinions of sexualization

Well, the issue is one that you've created just for yourself. 

"Looking past the looks, the stereotypical nature of said characters and the annoying, one dimensional personalities we've seen as well are issues that stretch beyond subjective opinions of sexualization"

It's not like the game is out in order to make a final judgement on certain characters and their personalities. Also, you probably don't get inside the personality of each blade you find or don't find. I surely don't know what you are expecting.   

But clearly, the game is not meant for people like you. Same goes for Platinum Games, Project Zero franchise, most of anime, and Japan culture. What else is there to say? I consider these designs more than harmless and it goes with the surreal setup of the world.  If you don't like nudity or some sort of these stuff then I guess you should also open a thread for Assassins Creed: Origins where the women are walking topless through the streets and you can see dicks on the statues of men.

I don't think anyone was making statements on the quality of the the whole game based on the designs, but it is an aspect that bugs some, including me.

It's possible to criticize a certain aspect of a game and still like the game overall.

There's a simple fix too, let us change the blades outfits. Everyone gets what they want. People that want overt sexualization can have it and for people that are annoyed by it for whatever reason can avoid it. Everyone gets to play the way they prefer to play.

Look at the quote above yours. 

Oh sure, you are allowed to criticize certain aspects of a game, but so far, the criticism is all that I see too much butt on a random, not important to the plot, character. And that criticism goes so far to avoid playing the game in the first place :/ . Actually, it becomes rather ridiculous to be honest. 

It goes the way of me to say that I don't like the color of the fruit on that particular tree, because I like my fruits to have the shape of an apple and it has to be red. 7.8/10, not enough red apples. 

Or I tell people not buy Harry Potter books because the story is about dark magic. You know who I mean.... 

And in retrospect, that criticism becomes rather stupid and shows that certain people haven't matured enough. Sorry to attack certain people who share this kind of view and criticism, but I don't know how to say it otherwise.  

This whole criticism is subjective and stems from an insecure objection. 

Again, just look at the whole picture and see what game aspects are actually being criticised for and how much they cope with the rest of the actual game. And also do tell me how much do you actually know of the game. 

The thing is however, I criticize animes which use unnecessary sexualization. Animes such as Naruto made appealing characters without needing their tits or ass flashing. The closest we got to that was Tsunade, but (once again) simply showing their body doesn't bother me.

 

I'm not sure if you looked through the entire thread, but I posted examples of what I thought was unnecessary. I don't expect everyone to read the entire thread, so feel free to see the link I posted if you haven't.
