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

    I mean, I understand the myriad reasons as to why this is.

    Yet I must ask, is it really such a difficulty, or near impossibility for Hydaelyn to harbor
    (more) bosses that are perhaps male eye-candy?

    I do realise this may be a revolutionary perspective for many, including the development team,
    but still hope for a day in which equilibrium may be found for all scantily clad entities whom wish to see my demise.

    Thank you.

    Well, the bar was immediately raised to an unattainable standard with Titan's biceps and exposed groin.

    When I'm through with my enemies, they all tend to look like a lump of hacked meat in various colors anyway, so I don't care that much how they looked before that.

    Well male players don't even have bunny costumes or other eye candy yet so there might be logistical problems ;p

    But seriously I think there's a lot of good male eye candy in this game. Even if it's mostly carried by Aymeric at the moment.

    Having said that, I wouldn't say no to succubus-tier scantily-clad male enemies.

    Look at the Amalj'aa. Manly muscles as far as the eye can see.

    I'm fishing for a point here, but what I think Roukiz is referring to are the more 'humanoid' bosses. As a note that's related, most humanoid female bosses retain a mostly female figure with enhancements, whereas the male humanoid bosses typically have exaggerated limbs, muscles etc. I'll use the primals and eikons as an example, but as a whole, it does perpetuate throughout the game in other duties.

    In the primal category, the more humanoid bosses are Garuda, Titan, Ramuh, Shiva, Ravana, Thordan, Sephirot and Sophia. All of females (Garuda, Shiva, Sophia) all have very nicely developed feminine figures, which would not be strange to see in modern day society (excluding feathers, icicle hair etc., just speaking of the figure) [as a note, all three are...I don't like the term half-naked, so let's say display their assetts very well]. However, of the males, the only ones who retains a humanoid form which would be acceptable in society are Thordan and Ramuh, and both are disguised behind robes, heavy armour and a majestic beard. The masculine figures of Titan, Ravana and Sephirot are more alien than normal, with additional limbs, skin tone, exaggerated muscle groups. In a way, they're not relatable to human beings, despite being a humanoid figure, contrary to the female primals. That's why cosplayers so often depict Shiva, Garuda, Ramuh, and perhaps now Sophia, but rarely any of the others.

    Another example will be the transformation pomanders in PotD. Of the three, two are undeniably feminine, and one is undeniably masculine. The Succubus and Kurubi both retain feminine humanoid forms, with the Succubus having extra stuff attached that doesn't detract from its humanoid figure, however, the manticore is undeniably NOT humanoid, even though it's jacked with muscles.

    I haven't analysed other aspects and duties, but I surmise it'll be the same. There's no denying there's "male eye candy", but it's not humanely 'relatable'.
