The Summer Event - New Info 8/8

[Neria]

I personally don't mind. So what if something in a video game is a little slutty? It's not like it makes you a slut IRL if you dress your character in a sexy outfit. D: For me there's no connection at all between Final Fantasy XIV and sex IRL.

I don't see a problem with it but I also see no problem if someone doesn't want to wear them. To each their own. It's just not such a big deal to me, since it's just a game. ^^

lol. there's always one. or in this case, maybe 5 or 6.

Anyone against revealing clothing is obviously an ugo. It's just a game with cartoon swimwear, relax.

Just because people don't want to make an issue about it doesn't mean everyone is happy about this. Those bikinis are slutty. If you take that as an insult, well then maybe you ought to think about it. "Everybody's doing it." is hardly an excuse.

As for FF, yes, they have had some sexualized stuff, but they have never gone this far before. I watch a lot of anime; I know exactly what type of stuff Japanese shows are capable of. I have always appreciated that FF kept it more toned down, and it's one reason I love the series so much.

Am I calling SE out on this? A little bit I suppose. The worst thing is, I actually like the basic idea of the event. But no, I won't be participating. In my mind, while sex is by no means a taboo subject, it is in the end a private thing between me and my husband. I don't put myself on display for every man to oogle.

Just for clarity's sake, so no one thinks this is onesided on my part... for all the boys out there in the harnesses and underwear (there have been a few strutting around on my server), all I have for you is a massive eyeroll.

All I have to say is this:

That second pic is just... wow...

EDIT: On a serious note, the girls in that second pic do look pretty slutty to me.

The female races in this game are just fine in bikinis, but the Roegadyn on the other hand... Total man sluts.

Back on topic:

I know it's been said, but I'm glad to see them doing something more unique and exciting with this event. We actually get to go out into the field and lure Bombs into an incinerator. It also looks like they are going to decorate the crap out of the cities with lights and bright colored ornaments, and possibly add palm trees to the beaches.

Sooo looking forward to this event.
The wallpapers were an amazing surprise too!
Thank you SE!!!!

[CrystalObsidian]

Fireworks!!! so excited for that..

also, they're just bathing suits, there's nothing graphic about it..It's no different than going to the beach or a water park during the summer, which minors attend all the time.
