The tawdry female bosses are tiresome, and we could do with more male fanservice.

So many of them are so obscene I'm hesitant to post them here, but you can have a look - https://twitter.com/meteorswimmer/st...50690592116736

Meanwhile, the Godberts and Sephirots are few and rarely have a nice face or a robust view.

You're meowing up the wrong tree buddy. There's a hella of a lot of male dungeon bosses in this game. In the last dungeon we got that male cyclops/bull thing for example. Plenty of male bosses in the Stormblood dungeons as well; from Doma castle to Kugane castle to Temple of the fist.

Don't call a female body obscene just because of the perverted way you look at it. A body, whatever it is bare or not isn't obscene by essence, it is only the way you look at it.

Women goddesses have always been represented as a metaphore and have to be seen that way.

1. I don't think anything from FFXIV would be considered obscene on the forum for FFXIV.
2. Are you saying that men in skimpy stuff wouldn't be obscene while the women are?

Maybe it's more a matter of hiding the pure form and constructively/destructively portraying it via external extensions that appear and portray as a whole in another way, maybe unfaithfully representing or suggesting, or diminishing, but if your problem is more with the base human likeness (or a fantasy race variation/deviation) then I really disagree. I'm guessing you mean like the dungeon character in the 5.3 patch web page. I don't like the feel of the design, I don't support or defend it, but I really attribute no weight of my dislike for it to how much of the character is shown.

I'd definitely appreciate more in the way of male eye candy. Especially the conventionally attractive sort.

Given all of the Crystal Exarch and Estinien (and Emet Selch) art out there, some of it official SE releases, it would seem to me that they are well aware of how appreciated their male characters are.

Given all of the Crystal Exarch and Estinien (and Emet Selch) art out there, some of it official SE releases, it would seem to me that they are well aware of how appreciated their male characters are.

But Emet (my love) and the Exarch aren't running around in little thongs and not much else. There definitely is a style that is favored by the devs when it comes to male vs. female design. The guys are rarely skimpy while the females, on numerous occasions, are all about the T&A.

For what it's worth, I'm female, know we have amazing bodies, and have run around in scanty outfits far too often in this game. Figured I'd clarify so I don't get some weird replies of "It's not our fault if you're simply viewing this through perverted eyes" as was alluded to in one of the earlier comments. I don't take issue with skin being shown, however, there is a definite bias in this game as to which gender gets to show it off and which doesn't.

As an aside, I finally got around to finishing the Eden story last night (been on breaks, not that much interest), and I know this had been a conversation when it first launched, but I've gotta say Shiva/Ryne was a bit of bold choice. Ryne is supposed to be a young girl, but suddenly it's cool to give her deep-plunging cleavage and a skin-tight outfit because she's mixed with a primal. And she has that redress move, again, odd choice for a kid/primal, but I guess they figured she was fair game to be sexed up a bit. The skin showing has always been imbalanced between the genders, but that's been the first time it hit me as being a bit inappropriate.
