She looks like someone out of Borderlands. It kinda clashes with the style they've had going so far

I don't mind there being a female Cid, or her being well endowed. But I've always had a problem with ridculous outfits just for the sake of having ridiculous outfits. Tidus

And she fits that. But at least with Tidus, it was really simply for the sake of having a ridiculous outfit

This one isn't even that ridiculous in comparison. The ridiculousness comes in when you know for a fact that there is an ulterior motive. To sexualize her. And why?

I mean what's his face having his shirt open is questionable, but he's not presented as a sex object. Sure, girls can drool over him if they want, and that's a nice side effect of course. But that's not the intention

With this, you can tell very clearly what the intention is. A ridiculous outfit, stripped into a revealing nature, because its a woman who in order to hang with the boys has to also be a sex object

A lot of the examples of past FF girls being in weird revealing outfits were generally tomboys or in generally male oriented roles. Celes was a badass knight. Rikku was a huge tomboy mechanic thing. So yeah. I agree with the problems. Not because they've never existed before. But because they've existed too much, for no good reason other than fan service (which isn't really a good reason, it's just a reason), and I'd like it to stop

Just have awesome characters. No need to sexualize them. People will like them or dislike them regardless. You're still going to get nudey fanart of them regardless. No real justifiable reason to expedite the issue and make it easier to for artists to photoshop them out of their clothes

But it's not a turn-off. It's just disappointment. Like the original quote that started this whole argument. They are progressive putting a female in a traditionally male role, and even so far as a traditionally male character (if this does turn out to be Cid, and not just Cid's daughter or niece or something). But they completely ruin it with primitive motivations of boobage for no reason
