As a male gamer, thank you for not oversexualizing every female NPC

[DreadRabbit]

The thing people are worried about is over sexualization?

In a hobby industry where it's still super common for female characters to be overly sexualized, yeah, it's a legit worry. Notice how when FF Mobius for mobile was released, the male lead was incredibly sexualized and showing off his bod. The advertisements had him looking pretty steamy with his positions too. Then every gamer that for some reason fears men being presented that way for whatever reason cried out "FOUL!". His Western release got a huge face lift and he's now wearing more clothes. Yet if women cry out like that like they have been, they just get told "she's a strong, powerful woman! stop holding her back!"


So yeah, on topic with the thread, I agree. It is SUPER NICE that both genders of playable characters have a choice in their styling. That's true empowerment. And what's better is it can only be improved.

My favorite female NPC is the mining guild leader. Seeing her for the first time almost convinced me to switch to Highlander on the spot. Her and Moenbryda (sp? Forgive me D: ) are easily the two most gorgeous fem NPCs I have met thus far.
