So is that how things are gonna be?
Any time a character is anything more than flat-as-a-board, and is not dressed in the floppiest and most concealing of outfits, it will be considered sexualized?

She's a cute character with a distinctive style.
Can't that be enough of a description?

BeRealisticNow2772d ago

She’s very sexualized no matter how you spin it
Sex sells.
Not necessarily a bad thing, I don’t see why there’s need to get defensive about it.

stupidusername2771d ago

She is sexualized, no doubt. Just look at the size of her boobs and where the outfit leads our eyes.
It's possible for a character to wear skimpy outfits without being totally sexualized. For example Yuna in FF X-2 or any of the girls in FF 13.

What about just thinking that she's attractive instead of a sex object?
I mean, granted, she technically IS an object given she's a fantasy character, but I think that's besides the point.

I don't know about anyone else here, but the first thing that my eyes were led to, were her own eyes, and the wings on her back.
Not "Look at her TITS! They're HUGE!"
But then again, I'm 33 and learned a long time ago that looking at tits first is one of the worst ways to judge any kind of female, so maybe that ingrained lesson-by-experience is just popping up here unconsciously.

No offense, but I don't see this as sexualized.
SENRAN KAGURA, is sexualized.
This is just tastefully attractive, IMO.

Now, if Pyra's personality were that of a flirt that displays herself in as seductive a manner as possible towards Rex, through suggestive poses/words, then I might be inclined to agree with you guys.

Shut up and appreciate the female anatomy - I know I will :D

Chexs19902770d ago

Sure, if you say so. What's wrong with that?
You can call me what you want, doesn't make you any more of an übermensch. Quite the opposite in fact.

GameBoyColor2772d ago

Looks like everybody's gotta design their characters in layers of clothes and be flat chested as well now.

porkChop2772d ago

I've never looked at this character in a sexual way at all. I mean come on. Not every character has to be flat and completely clothed.

stupidusername2771d ago

Not every character needs to have giant boobs and skimpy outfits either.

porkChop2771d ago

Certainly true. But that doesn't mean people need to bitch every single time a character looks like that.

Akarogg 2771d ago

But they look like that 90% of the time

porkChop2771d ago

They look the way the artists intended them to.

Akarogg 2769d ago

Yes, like skimpy sluts. Yay

1 - 3 are connected. Idk if X is connected since I haven't beaten the epilogue in X yet. X will probably be connected.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed Brings the Xeno Saga to a Glorious Close

Xeno fans rejoice! The six-part saga has finally been told!

Xenogears was originally supposed to be a six part series, but Squaresoft cut the budget for the first game and canceled future plans. Xenosaga, published by Bandai Namco, was its spritual successor, and it too was supposed to be a six part series but was cut to a trilogy after subpar sales for Xenosaga 2.

Future Redeemed is by far the best DLC of the Xenoblade series, achieving its lofty goals of introducing new characters, reconnecting with older ones, and closing a narrative that Monolith Soft’s main man Tetsuya Takahashi has been trying to tell since 1998.
