Yeah I'm a 90 year old virgin wizard who thinks sex is evil....NOT. 

Yeah, we people who are not okay with cringe-worthy sexualized anime crap are just puritans who think sex is morally wrong, very obviously! :/

This this very bad in the case of FE which has a repuation for being very modest for an RPG

I'm with you, actually. I've played the six localized games at least 2x each (hell, I completed FE9 at least 5 times), and I enjoy the new style. Awakening wasn't my favorite in the franchise, but I liked the artstyle, and I thought the cast as a whole was more colorful than what we normally see in the series (with some exceptions, obviously). I do think a lot was done to make the franchise more accessible to JRPG fans, which I don't have a problem with, but it's still really tame compared to a lot of franchises out there (not sure what to say at the comparison to Senran Kagura...I'd like to hope that was just a joke).

Regarding the pictures in the OP/thread...there are character designs that are drawn more sexualized, but it's not really a huge deal for me. I might change my mind when it comes out, but so far the few characters I've seen haven't bothered me.

I don't really know what to say about the option to strip characters down...but I have a tough time believing that in particular is necessary to advance the story. If it is, I'll be annoyed. If it isn't...or if it's simply a bonus feature in the likes of the character SFX menus in fighting games...I have a tough time bringing myself to care. 

As I've stated before in this thread, I'm accepting of the game's design changing.  Different artists have different styles and all that;  I am glad that FE has had a renissance and is selling better; I'm glad there's a larger audience for FE because Inteligent Systems makes great games that should be played by all.  

Now with that said, there's a fine line between modest and sleazy and units wearing basically fucking nothing is not "less modest".  It looks lazy and uninspired. 

Also, your previous post insinuated that OP has a problem with sexualization in video games, when he doesn't.  He doesn't have issues with characters being sexualized, he has issues with them being - over-sexualized.  He also has stated that he has issues with other aspects of the game ...

Though I'm not him, I'm only reading what he says, not his mind.

im pretty sure that wasnt me.

So, it's only wrong because the female characters look attractive and skimpy? Heavens forbid attractive women! Anyways, for those who didn't know, the mode isn't female character exclusive, it also includes male characters. Please, take a look.

^Fanservice for the guys

^ Fanservice for the ladies 

I find it great that it isn't just trying to appease the male aduience but also the female audience as well. Is it a bit much? I'd say kinda borderline there, but that won't stop me (and countless others) from purchasing when it is released just because of an optional fanservice mode.

Why does no one even read the goddamn thread? This isn't a feminist thread calling out sexualization in females in game, i'm talking about THIS PARTICULAR GAME and it's sexual content which is done in poor taste and is just mindless poindering to horny teens

If you call what is in FE "porn" or "pornish" then you must consider most mainstream tv programing straight porn, all womens clothing catologues porn and most womens mags porn-  matter of fact you must see porn everyday when you walk out of your house-  

If you don t like women "in that way" then play  a game that features men in that way or  fund a kickstarter of games were women wear nothing but business suits from Brooks Brothers-  

Tell me why should your "religion"  have anytjing to do wiith FE?   If you had said you just had a problem w it i might have belivd you were just another beta male that is trying to impres some girl calling herseld a feminist but trying to throw religion out there rings very hollow-

Like i said ive seen too many articles, post etc using terms like "puritans" and "religion" as the complaintent re how women are characterized in various games but the only people that seem to really have a problem w it are the Anits S's of the world and her ilk along with the beta males that white knight them

I just don t see/understand with all the hyper sexualized  content in so many aspects of society= particularly entertainment, why somethjng as tame as the content in 99% of video games  would be on anyones radar if it was not for the SJW s and psuedo feminists

Trust me, I did read the original post, which never once mentioned the inclusion of male characters nor did you really show proof.  Many people on this thread were asking if it also included males, which wasn't proven until my previous post.

"While I never played the game, this thread contains no spoilers and MAY be NSFW."  

"Prior to awakening, all the female characters in the series dressed very modestly, with only a few exceptions, had decent figures and overall didn't come across as being overtly "sexual".  Which I can't say anymore about the series.  In awakening they introduced a few very sexualize characters, such as Tharja, Olivia and a few others.  There was even a DLC chapter where one of the girls strips down with a provacative risque pose and another with a girl covering her breasts.  While Awakening was pretty sparing with the sexual aspects, it was still a LOT more than anything else we have seen in the series before.  Fast forward to FATES, from what I've seen it seems that everything about the game is peppered with sexual undertones and risque elements.  Below is a part of the game where they literally let you look at your partner while they are stripped down, while many of the characters are wearing very lewd underwear."

The developers obviously pay attention to what helped sell the last game and what is pretty apparent as one of the best selling trends across all media in Japan... DAT Fanservice.


I feel the OP it sort of does suck, but I've not played the game enough to know if it is that bad. Awakening was mild at best, which is a step up for the franchise and most Nintendo games in general but seriously I can't knock them unless they go full bore D.O.A. boob physics are a selling point and from what I hear there is much more to the game then that.

Welcome to modern anime, where 80% of everything is fanservice or "waifu" crap.
