Because there's clearly no medium between "stiff as a rock" and "each tit quivering individually like they're filled with water balloons". |

Umm...do we even know how the breasts will jiggle? Everyone is making assumptions that it'll bounce like bags filled with water in zero gravity, but it's just as likely it'll be modest bounces like that chick in Xenoblade Chronicles. It's there, and only those looking for it will notice it. This just seems like a bit of an overreaction, especially since Lightning's breasts aren't advertised as a selling point of the game but simply a reveal after a member of the press asked them whether her boobs will be bigger in the game. I don't see any news outlet making headlines out of her armpits being shown (one member of the press asked about her armpits).
Things change and technology advances. Character design evolves as they appear in games. Look at Samus' evolution from a pixelated brunette to the blonde girl with a beauty mark and Adam worship that we know of today. Or Geralt's subtle changes with each Witcher game. Lightning's is nothing drastic, and most people wouldn't even notice the changes unless they specifically paid attention to them.
Nice, I'm glad that the overblown negative publicity the game got because of Kotaku's antics did not do anything to hurt the game's sales. Criticizing a game is fine and all, but provoking the dev was just low. |

Yeah what a great comparison with Samus. Yeah from 2d character to 3d model. Yep it's just like reusing the same character model for three games complete with no change in actual character design, just costume design. And I'm sure no one should have a problem with it just like they did'nt have one with Samus in Other M!
Yeah that new giggle technology, it's been around since what 2001? Yeah I'm so happy SE finally got around to mastering it and after making sure they got their hair and belt zipper physics down. I'm sure it was the next step! I mean it's perfect timing. It goes perfect with DLC costumes that can be sold to increase the giggle. And I'm happy people reported on it too, because unlike the armpit thing, it's actually quite noteworthy. Man what a revolution. |

>_> Kotaku's jihad wasn't gonna affect Japanese sales in the slightest since no one cares about this stuff in Japan or what the west thinks there. It'd only affect American sales so you got to wait til it comes out here to see what happens in the American market but since its already the fastest/best selling Vanillaware game I doubt they give a crap if it bombs here or not since they already got some nice money x_x
Armpits are still mostly a Japanese/anime fetish so the west hasn't picked up on the tabooness of it yet to make a big deal about it >_> Maybe for the best so they don't censor armpits out =P |

Yep jihads the term to use for one snarky post and other posts talking about how good the art/game is.
Yeah they really had it out for the game. Yep, Kotaku's the one overreacting here. |

I view Lightning Returns just as an apology for the fujoshi mess that is Final Fantasy 15. By turning off the otaku fans, they have to give them a bone somehow. Personally, I'm quite interested in it and pretty much every piece of info I hear on it excites me more. Sounds like an improved FFX-2.

The original trailers for something always show off what demographics its being aimed towards. If an anime shows a bunch of cute girls to begin with, its obviously being aimed at that demographic even if they add a guy or two later on. Same thing with FF15.. they might add a girl or two later on but thats not the main demographic they are aiming at. |

Call of Duty has nothing to do with what I said. Maybe if all the characters looked like they were ripped straight out of a boy band, that would have some merit, but they all look like normal soldier dudes. But FFXV looks like a boy band fighting evil, which is obviously something thats being aimed at the female audience. |

Final Fantasy XV looks like a..................Final Fantasy game. And it's probably aimed at........................Final Fantasy fans.
But hey if you don't want to play it because you can't make a harem party well then no skin off my back. |

Except its not, since it plays nothing like normal mainline Final Fantasy games so its trying to get a new audience. I'd get it even with the fujoshi stuff if it actually played like a Final Fantasy... but thats a whole other issue there. |

Final Fantasy games change their battle systems. It's possibly the most FF thing to do. Final Fantasies are supposed to be different from each other. In fact going real time, that's basically where FF has been going since 4. Now they just completely did it. So no, this game sounds like a FF game.
But you were talking about looks and well this looks as FF as can be. and yeah, I'm sure they hope to attract a bigger audience. Every main FF hopes to do that. But I doubt it's some "fujoyshi whatever conspiracy". Nomura probably foremost decided that he wanted to tell a tale about a dude and his buddies. And being Nomura, he made pretty looking people. And no I really doubt it's the battle system keeping you away. You said you had no problem with Tales and I really doubt it's "the well it plays like a fighting game bs" Because really if this plays like say KH, it really requires probably less skill to play. It really just sounds like "oh noes, no girls" and "i think it's specifically aimed at girls for some reason and I can't enjoy that". |

How is an action game where you control one guy "Playing like a FF game"? Its a turn based JRPG series, not an action series, so its not playing a FF game at all. I only play JRPGs for the most part so being a complete different genre just kills my interest, sorry.
I didn't like KH either... I hate that kinda action game. The whole time Versus was in development I heard it was from the KH team and it looked like a similar type of game so I never had any interest in it in the first place. |
