It warms my heart.
Here is said tumblr post, if you want to be amused.
It truly is glorious how objectified the dude is. The tumblr post makes a fair point. I wonder if this was an intentional subversion of the barely there female armor trope.
Oh god that butt armour
Looks pretty good so far, though I'm still not sure about the game being automated across the world map and such.
This is glorious.
Haha, before I even read any comments I was just thinking: "Now, this is an objectified male!" Baby steps to a bit of balance.
My favourite screen-capped quote on the blog is something like "This would have looked fine on a girl. Some costumes just aren't supposed to be worn by males." I think this is the point where we can rest our case on that one.
I'm more likely to play this game now than I was five minutes ago. I dunno if I have a homosexual gaze I didn't know about that is being pandered to or what, but I think these screenshots are great XD
On another note, it's nice to finally have someone to cosplay as.
yeah this armor is a bit off putting, interesting to see it on a male for a change though
Also how do those leg things not stab him in the buttcheeks constantly?
I like how his entire sides are exposed, save for a few straps. You can clearly see he has no underwear. I'm glad we're finally seeing some equality in that regard. Personally, I really don't get why people are so disgusted by this. Straight women often admit to considering other women attractive. If I see another man and I can see that he is attractive, or that this particular piece of armor attracts attention to some bits as fan service, I can admit it, appreciate it, and move on, without the fear of turning gay or something. It's unfair that this is considered unacceptable attire for a videogame character, since games have for the longest time been anything but a straight male-only playground.
Also, Fox - if you do cosplay as this, give us pics! :D Because I really doubt anyone alive can pull this look off.
"But that’s okay, I mean, I’m sure the reactions will be like “oh it’s just fantasy”, “he’s confident and doesn’t need real armour”, “it’s stylized”, “he chose to dress like that”… right?"
Also no more phone games uuuugggghhhhh my phone can barely text
Also haha I like there's this dude in the comments who keeps posting the same "Did you know 90% of the userbase is male so..." thing when some people agree with the article. Like he literally copy/pastes the same response
Yeah if I hadn't noticed he'd been banned for it I would have put together a snarky reply for him ^^Quote:

But then again this is final fantasy so any amount of armor can block any amount of force so it's no problem!
