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. 

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.

Funny you mention Naruto. Did you never saw Naruto's sexy harem jutsu?

 

I saw the link and the picture of that blade. Like I said, it is pretty harmless. There were worse stuff in XCX like the boob slider which got censored or the skimpy bikini outfits in Project Zero for Wii U and also XCX for that girl character. Not that I am bothered by it in any way. I just have a higher tolerance towards this stuff. And that blade is not even a human being.

 

But again, what you trying to achieve with a thread like that? Japanese character designers to ask the west for permission for their designs? Are you trying to limit the imagination of said designers, because you feel unconformtable and insecure by looking at it?

I mean, these minor annoyances made you create a thread to find justification in your reasoning. I wouldn't count them as minor anymore. 

Minor annoyance would be by driving a vehicle into water and see it unreasonable explode. (Crysis)

 

There are a lot of echi anime series out there, but I am not making a thread about it, because I am interested in one but don't like that loli sexualisation stuff and want them to change that. I just don't watch them at all or just cope with it as long as it falls into my tolerance meter. 

 

I still appreciate that you share your opinions on this issue, but as I said, I consider it harmless. It's their vision of the game. I personally don't like Pyra's boob size. I think that one is just to large, but there it is and I go with it and see where the ride takes me.
