Let me ask you a question, i90east. If FFX-2 was a 2D game or even something that was made with 8-Bit graphics, would you consider the characters slutty then?
Yep, especially if Square used very graphic pictures to market the game. In FFX-2 that's what sticks out the most. The idea that Square is trying to get across to gamers is "the women in FFX-2 are very sexy so it's worth your while to buy this game". Once they break the ice, it may get worse and worse with every new title. Deathjester, when I speak of images that are pornographic in nature, I'm talking about the official ones from Square. They're so suggestive that they're unappropriate to view in a public environment.

The whole point of this is that nudity in FF games is nothing new.
Thanks for stating the obvious.

Yes, obviously when Queen Lamia was attempting to seduce Frionel she wasn't actually attempting to have sex with him, nice one :rolleyes2
That's subject to interpretation and the imagination.

Sex is hardly ignored in the plotlines of the early FF games either - think of "You licentious howler" from FFVI
That slutty behavior was depicted as being bad. I'm with Cyan on that one.

Let's face it, no one would think pure innocent Yuna would dress in such a small amount of clothing, and thus it's the perfect disguise for her.
Now you're trying to come up with excuses for Square's poor choice of clothing for Yuna. Maybe it's time to admit that it's a little rediculous.

Except for Rikku and Yuna, eh? Apparently for them it is.

As for the rest of your points... No. Just no. You're repating yourself over and over. Stop it.
The only reason I'm repating myself is because obviously you're not getting my points. You keep pushing the same issues that I've already resolved. Perhaps you should stop repating yourself, and take a look at what I'm saying.

My goal here is not to argue endlessly with you Deathjester, but to come to a level of understanding. It doesn't matter to me that you like the sluttiness of FFX-2. I'm just hoping that you'll understand where I'm coming from in a logical perspective, not "what a dork, this guy hates sex! wtf is that!? Man, there are some weird people in this world.". There are places where sexual themes belong, and I don't feel that the FF series is one of those places. Love is perfectly fine. It's great to have characters in love with each other, but any implications of sex should be left to the imagination.

Also understand that people don't have to like the sluttiness of FFX-2 just because you do, just in case you thought that with your reasoning you can convince people to love it.

To be honest, I think most of the people who think FFX-2 is slutty are the same people who think Tifa is slutty. She's anything but.
I don't think Tifa is slutty.
