What is with this game and half-naked women as bosses?

[Lambdafish]

The topic was bosses though. Did I miss something?

That the dev team are pretty good at gender equality, and that the OP seems to be making out that the game is filled with sexism and scantly clad enemies. This is probably one of the most progressive japanese games I have ever played.

- Livia is never seen benieth her armor, the game implies she is beautiful, but that is narrative and character building, not eye candy
- Sophia is literally has the beauty of a goddess, and her design reflects that (also hands are tied because FFVI)
- Shiva is far more clothed than almost every other incarnation of the character, and is tasteful
- Garudas model is from 1.0 and probably the only model without another excuse
- Igeyorhm is portrayed exactly as the other ascians
- Edda, need I explain?

Other bosses that are in no way portrayed as attractive:
- Echidna
- Calcabrina
- Arachne eve
- Belladona

Plus many more.

There is a real issue in the world when simply giving something breasts makes them sexualised. Females have breasts, and making something half human and female means it naturally has a female torso.
