So Squenix, when are we going to see 'curvy' heroines?

:rolleyes:

what does that even mean?

Hmm. I think Lightning counts. Her outfit is form-fitting enough that you can see she has significant hips, her thighs are fairly thick, and, uh, her chest isn't exactly invisible. For the most part, though, FF girls have "plain" figures, though. The series' main point really isn't sex appeal, but that doesn't stop fangirls from turning the effeminate Nomura men into gay lovers!

...but yeah, Lightning, IMO, is the closest we've come to a realistically-proportioned woman with meat on her bones in the series. With Amano's designs, you couldn't tell half the time if they were women/supposed to resemble real people, and Nomura didn't start fetishizing much until Lulu.

If you want to talk about Squeenix and boobs, there's 3rd Birthday.

what version of FF13 did you play? Lightning has the body of a skinny teenage boy.

Does it really matter? Don't they all look the same at this point anyway?

???
Are you asking does it matter how they look after entering a discussion on how they look?

I'd do a classic side-by-side comparison of Nomura's designs, but that's so overdone.

Lulu was pretty "curvy" to me. Yuna got kinda curvy in X-2.

But yeah, Japanese games, not gonna happen. Unless the guys responsible for Eiken take Nomura's job.

Japan? I assumed it was just the norm for guys, the US is fairly boob obsessed too. I once had the displeasure of turning on my dad's computer to see that his background was a couple of women with breasts as large as the women were tall. Though that may have been made for comedy's sake.

While customizing my characters in Tekken 5, I couldn't help but notice some unrealistic jiggling when rotating certain female characters.

I guess its relative. I'm american and I'm not boob obsessed. And I don't generally hang out with weirdos who are, nor do I spend a lot of time in porn stores or loitering around the mature section of book stores. So America's obsession is lost on me. But I don't spend any time in Japan to differentiate between much of the more subdued artistry and their general obsession with lithe over-endowed females in sailor school-girl outfits. So unfortunately they get generalized

I rest my case ^^

I will look forward for a game with middle- old aged people as the main characters. Maybe we have a 70 year old Cloud wearing Adult diapers finally gonna confess to the dying aged Tifa on her deathbed or something. :bigsmile:
