What's wrong with the human body? Square and 'sluttiness'

[Rand Al'Tor]

And why is that a shame if I may ask? If they'll buy it SOLELY for the naked chicks, that could become a problem. ButS quaresoft can make a good (or bad) game WITH nearly naked chicks and a good (or bad) game WITHOUT nearly naked chicks. I LIKE looking at nearly naked chicks while I'm enjoying superb plot, characters, graphics and music.

Let me ask you something Zipper. If FFX-2 had Yuna and Rikku dressed as in FF-x, but had ALL other things (plot, music, characters) remain the same, would you think it a better game?

Oh and your post.

I detest the game because it is not to the original standards which Square created, Square NEVER created a sequel and when they did, they crapped out this?

Eh, just ebcause they never did a sequel before doesn't mean they're not allowed to do it... EVER. Gotta be a first time for everything.

Huge disappointment you can only have 2 of the original cast members in your party

Personally, I LIKE that. Wouldn't make much sens ethat the GREAT HEROES form the first game would all make for a good second game. Yuna (who I've heard now has lost her Summons) could work, and Rikku might still work since she is weak, but I'm all in favour of introcusing new characters in the new game. Keeping the same characters, THAT would show a lack of creativity.

and they dress in the most stupidest cloths I have ever seen. People say that Yuna dresses like that because of Rikku and I'm thinking who would be stupid enough to take fashion advice from a chick in a scarf and bikini?

Look, if we're gonna talk about FF and fashion sense we could be talking for a loooooong time. Kefka Mc Clown? Squall 'beltaholoc' Lionheart? Cloud 'spikey' Strife? Zidane with those freaky thing on his sleeves but without sleeves? Tidus with those....odd, odd pants? Silly clthes seems like a pretty poor reason to dislike a game.

You also have to remember that through out FFX they never changed cloths once and didn't have a dress-up system.

If it's anything like FFV, then it's NOT the first time. And even fi it was, there's a first time for everything.

They made this game purely to attract perverts

Take ir from a pervert. FFX does NOT appeal to my 'pervy' side anymore then any of the other games. And when I buy FFX-2 it won't be to drool over the women. I have PLENTY fo ways to get rid of drool and other bodily fluids. Final Fantasy, I play for the plot, characters, music etc... and while doing that, I like to enjoy some fine views.

. This game doesn't resemble a sequel in my opinion it has very few things in common with the original and doesn't even seem to match genres

The Final Fantasies have ALWAYS differed from each other. That's what makes it GOOD. Heck, seems sometimes you can't win if you're a gaming company. If you're loyal to your original you're just 'rehashing the same old ideas and just want our money' If you DO make innovation and dare to take risks you're 'desecrating the memory of the old classic game whatever and just want our money'

Squaresoft likes to make changes. No two games have been 'the same old' That is what makes them great, and I hope they will continue to do that. I prefer VIII above any other, but i wouldn't want Square to make their next game a FFVIII clone I WOULD like a FFVIII-2, but I wouldn't wan it to be a clone)

Too bad the innovation has to be something as silly as taking off the women's clothes.

[Rand Al'Tor]

If that's the only thing FFX-2 has to offer, there's a problem. But as I haven't played it yet, I'll reserve judgement. For all I know it's the most intriguing, best, tear and laughteriinducing plot they have ever produced.... also showing female beauties in sparse clothing. And I said before and say again, it's NOT the first time Square has done this, they've been doing it for a long time. They're just getting better at it thanks to technology.

You talk as if just because Square put those clothes on them, it means that's the ONLY thing they did. What about the music? The personalities? The plot? When there's discussion about X-2 it always seems to be about the clothes, and never about the things that matter.

[Kindo]

Yeah, it's true. Can't say much about anything but the looks of the characters, and the music. The music is horrible... it's one of the most annoying RPG soundtracks I've ever heard. Did anyone else hear what they did to the poor chocobo tune? I started to cry when I heard it. Not in a "Aaw, it's so sad... poor Aeris. *Sniff*" kind of way, but in a "What in the name of Letterman's holy chair?!? This is the chocobo tune?!?! *Buhuhuhuhuuuuuu*" kind of way.

[PhoenixAsh]

It's late for this now but spoilers ahead (probs worth changing the titleof the thread).


ZeZipster (or possibly Kindo) what would you have wanted? That Yuna not change in two years? That despite not being a summoner, or following the teachings of Yevon anymore she still wears the robes and uses the same weapons? That she decided to go undercover dressed as... herself? Seriously how do you picture it should have been?
Rikku hasn't suddenly become eye-candy either, I'll point back to the original intro FMV of her and leave it at that.

The clothes change system seems a logical progression if you introduce jobs. Weapons changed appearance in the original, as should characters who change their style.

[Kindo]

Yes yes, of course it's alright if she would've changed... but did she really have to put on that reeeaaaaaally tight leather panty-thing (I actually wonder if her buttcheeks' bloodflow is working anymore) and that reeeeeeaaaaaaaaally tight leather-trout thing with windows for her tits? I mean come on... change doesn't automatically need to mean "sexier clothing, cockier attitude".

As for Rikku, yes, her opening FMV was a bit... yum yum. I'm not a fan of things like that. So you mean that that justifies the way she dresses now? Look at her! A damn bikini is all she's wearing. That, and the smallest possible panty thing I possible before having to rate the game 18+.

[Mr. Graves]

There's your answer, Abominatrix. Now your life is complete, yes??

Hey Rand Al'Tor, let's not forget Siren. She's always been the risque one, hasn't she??. Shiva, too, especially in FFs 8 and 10. At any rate, I'll be waiting to play FF10-2 before dismissing it as some fan service peep-show. People judge too much too often, and I, for one, will wait and see what the finished product delivers. Not getting my hope up for the greatest game of the year, but I'm expecting a fun RPG, nonetheless.

[Rostum]

That's what I solely agree with Mr.Graves. People are judging everything just from some tiny detail that can be overlooked to have a good time.

I'm not saying that it's going to be the best FF game in the series, but it's worth a shot to play it.

[eternalshiva]

I think they look great and the only timne they seem a little under dressed is in the thief class ...

[Xander]

Wow I didn't even realise that Yuna was gonna wear as little as Rikku. I admit they almost look naked in that pic lol but my opinion stands to play the game first before I judge it.

You can think what you like about the clothes, love or hate them, but the game is a different matter, and the dress up system sounds interesting and fun to me, I can't wait to see what it's like

And anyway lots of girls wear less than Rikku when they are wearing bikinis swimming or at the beach, do you go up to them and call them sluts? Thought not... they live on a hot island! And yeah I think from what I've seen the clothes suit the jobs they have while wearing them.

Maybe it won't be the best FF but that's just the opinion of the player, if you don't like the way the series is changing stick to the old games and just play those.

Personally I like change and I like when Square brings in new things so I think I'm gonna enjoy the game for that reason plus I have no doubt that Square will deliver an enjoyable plot, as they usually do.

If FFX-2 is anything like FFX, it'll be a bad game. The characters in FFX-2 look even worse than they did in FFX. As if the Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears wasn't bad enough, now we have Lara Croft for a main character in an FF game. If the characters are any indication of how good the game is, it won't be good.

Some of you people may like the look of the characters in these two games. That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion as am I. Don't deny that characters play a big role in FF games. It's only fitting that the characters look decent. Even if FFX-2 will be the best FF ever in terms of story, atmosphere, gameplay etc., it will be severely tarnished by the characters. I don't see how it's ignorant to use this kind of reasoning, but think what you want.

Does anyone know if FFX-2 will even have a world map, or will it be "go to the red dot" again?

[TheAbominatrix]

To me, that's like saying "Even if this book is great in terms of story, character growth, and everything that makes a book important, because there's a picture of a scantily clad woman on the front it will severely suck." It sounds idiotic, really.

[PhoenixAsh]

Tomb Raider may have sold on the character, but Lara Croft was strong not slutty. It was still a fantastic game in it's day.

Soul Calibur II has some very revealing outfits, and even slutty ones (well at least one). It is unbelievable.

FFX-2 actually has justification for the outfits, and they aren't even slutty. It's a frickin sequel, it's aimed at FF fans! Why the hell would they sell out with it?
Besides it's only a few of many outfits that are revealing, must every character's entire wardrobe cover them head to toe? That'd be pretty dull and uncreative IMO.

[eternalshiva]

Xander you rock >.<

Some people are taking this way too seriously! Yuna went from meek to gun blazing awesome she kicks arse and has the body to go with it, why not show a little skin? That kimoto was too heavy to pounce around in anyways. A stick? who wants to fight with a stick? If she is to fight her own battles, might as well do it in skin tight clothes! plus SHE'S NOT ACTUALLY REAL. if you don't like the new look, don't buy it. No one is making you. Pesonally I think it was about time FF became a little risque, especially Yuna, living the life of a virgin that's in love with a (SPOILER) memory/spirit I think it was about time she got her freak on! >.<

Now I'm lost... I haven't played FFX yet, so I can't say a thing about those characters (but I don't expect too much, since Square doesn't show me a fullhand of great characters since FF6 and Chrono Trigger).

Anyway, if you are saying that those characters sucks because they lack personality, have a poor backgroung, or stupid lines, then you really have good reasons to say that you don't like them... But if you're saying that you hate them because the way they look like than you're being... uh... Stupid.
