I fail to see the problem, if you think the gameplay has changed for the worse blame the developers, not the character designers

Honestly, I find it strange that in the age of feminism that people are mandating for all of the female characters to be covered up or outrage.

Most guys enjoy girls and the female body-   If you look at any popular womens mag, it is pretty obvious women appreciate other women/the female body as well (no i don t mean in a romantic/sexual way) 

So my question is why would you have a problem w it-  just be mature and either play thru the game or if you don t like the game do t play it-

Virtually every product, service and entertainment incorpoarte some aspects of the opposite sex and or both sexs to sell, entertain etc- some more tastefully than others-    yet only the video games industry in the US?)  and Hooters seems to get critasized for it-

Why are there so many beta males attached attached to the video game world?  ive never seen anything like it

I wouldn't lump Tifa, Quistis and Lulu in the over sexualized category. Tifa has big boobs yes but it's not over emphasized in the game, she wear a shirt that doesn't show any cleveage, it does show her mid-rift but that's hardly over the top. Same with Quistis, she's an attractive woman, her main costume shows her mid-rift but she's never put forward as a sexual object. The first Final Fantasy character I felt was sexualized was Rikku, especially with the intro video of her "stripping" and even more with her FFX-2 outfit.

did you play ff8? quistis is a teacher in a long but sexy dress with a whip. there are porn subgenres just for this...

and you would get into alot of trouble when you go to school dressed like selphie...

Nintendo has been pushing oversexualization quite a lot for some time now, especially in their 3rd party exclusive games it's pretty obvious.

bayo is the ultimate female powerfantasy... a strong women that  play with men...

Well I'm a Christian and that type of thing does not appeal to me the way it might appeal to the rest of the population. And LoL@ at the guy calling sexualization "art".  You literally just make the characters look more provacative and you get more sales.  Playing on basic male sex drive.  I understand that feminism can get crazy, but I'm honestly sick to death of sexualization in media, even with men, but they seem to do it with females 100X more, which is pretty unfair.

Thank god they do.  

This could get borderline the M rating in America, like it is in japan. 

Sad to see a series good from the bottom of the rating scale at E, and now it's at M, just for the sake of sexualization. 

WRPGs don't have sexualized female characters? Did you not play The Witcher, Mass Effect, or Dragon Age?

I dont see any issues with it. Infact I love it!

One thing is clear though, the old way was not working out for them considering how much FE sales decreased with each iteration. Only after FEA did it once again start telling quite a bit and most likely, the fan service helped with the sales. So yea, I really see no issues with it. If the minority has issues with sex, oh well, I for one would rather take oversexualization over a dead franchise anyday.

I just hope NoA doesn't censor it like they did with FEA
