FF's female playable cast is entirely young, pretty (except for Freya) women, while the men have a full range of ages and types.
Why is the characters age an issue?. The characters are they're respective age's b/c thats how the stories were written. What's wrong with that? 'A young group of friends join together and fight to save the...', yada yada yada, they're all hero's- this is FF in a nutshell. Alot fans of the series seem fine with that..

There's not any "non-pretty"(polite way of saying ugly) male characters either. Some of them look average but quite a few would be classified as "sexy", and all are thin or muscular. Similarly, there's not any "non-pretty" female characters, some are "sexy" but many would be considered average/normal looking. Why does the FF series have an obligation to make "non pretty" playable characters? I don't think the they should have to shape their vision of characters around the fear that there designs may be deemed sexist for not meeting some quota for character diversity.

The first and only female Cid is dressed like a smurf doll for her role as a mechanic.
Yes, Cidneys outfit is unreasonable for a real world mechanic, but Gladiolus open leather vest and abs would be a pretty lousy defense against bullets in the real world too. I see no logic in that argument, and I don't understand how you can keep reverting back to it. You say she's dressed like a "smurf doll", I still think thats just a different form of slut shaming. You make the assumption that just b/c her design is sexy that she will only be a sexual object. But FF doesn't have a history of doing that(imo), so i'm not under the impression that Cidneys character will be any different.

Like, dude, you don't have to declare FF The Most Sexist Game Series of All Time and throw all your games away, but when you say the games just aren't sexist I just don't even know what to say to that.
So, you are saying that FF's are sexist games? Their portrayal of female characters is responsible(at least in-part) for real world sexism? And, believe me, I have zero intention of throwing away any of my games because you deem them sexist. I'll take my good games over "politically correct" games any day.


In regards to the Lightning issue; I haven't played LR but i will give some opinions on the issue of her breast and the jiggling of said breast. First, they shouldn't have increased her size. Seems ridicules to change the original design for the 3rd game. The 'jiggle mechanics' thing is more nuanced tho. Breast are not static, they do jiggle. So I think jiggle mechanics can(and should) be used appropriately. I don't think boobs should just stay in the same place like plastic while the rest of the VG mechanic are becoming more realistic. But i'm not defending how they were used in LR(considering i havent even played the game so I can't really give an opinion on it).




You can highlight "Art shouldn't be censored" and "male babrbarians also fight half-naked" on your bingo board now too, i suppose.
