1. Why do only the female bodies matter? There are super buff males in the game, yet no one cares about those. How about we cut the double standard bs?

2. It's a game where you can summon people/creatures from crystals. It's also a game where continents/countries are actually massive living creatures called titans. It's also a game where people can swim in what is basically fog or smoke. Nothing in the game is realistic, so WHY do the characters need to be?

You hit the nail right on the head. I don’t know why these kind of articles are still made. It just game for god sake. Nothing is real.

I work out but Vandham made me feel insecure because I don’t have an impossible physique! I need attention!

I think the old adage "Sex sells!" works here and like it or not female sexuality sells more than male sexuality.

TheFirstClassic2700d ago

I find it hard to take a character seriously when they have boobs bigger than their head. To have a character designed so ridiculously just hurts serious plot delivery. Idk, I would just rather not have the character models so overblown to the point of absurdity if you want to deliver a meaningful story. Xenoblade just takes it a bit too far.

because feminists are weak and pathetic unlike the "power gurl" poster they have in their rooms

Your point being? Do you hate breasts? Curves? ... You're appalled by exaggerated proportions? Get over yourself dude, you're a man, not a woman. Act like one.
Oversexualization is nothing new in character design. The only problem I have, is with feeble-minded people like you, standing up for a misguided, unintelligent notion of feminist propaganda.

Don't get me wrong here, feminists are fine. It's just the vocal minority of them that no one should give a rat's a** about. Including this sensitive gentleman who wrote this article.

UKRsoldja2699d ago (Edited 2699d ago )

The grotesque distortions are actually simply due to the poor Switch graphics.

wonderfulmonkeyman2701d ago (Edited 2701d ago )

This article reeks of lame feminist hatred.
It's proportion-shaming from an author who is extremely ugly on the inside.
Let's not give this kind of bullcrap a chance at being on our front page.

That's why I wrote this OP not so long ago (I can't post it on N4G for obvious reasons...):

Keep up the good work

wonderfulmonkeyman2700d ago

Well done.
I find it funny that the worst parts of N4G are also a part of ResetEra.
That explains SO MUCH.XD

i more disturbed that they mix animal races with women more so then when they just have big breasts and curves... Like did a human dude bang a cat or a guy cat bang some chick to create the one girl who is half cat? How about the chick who has dragons coming out of her shoulders?

That is more disturbing that just normal human body parts like breasts and glutes.

Women with big breasts have feelings too. It's not right to shame them. Or do you demand they get surgery to reduce their size? That's twisted. There is beauty in all sizes.

nitus102700d ago

Any human whether male or female has feelings but it is actually more difficult for women since they are bombarded from birth as to what makes a perfect late teen and adult female figure. Most females are intelligent enough that they can see through all the hype and are practical about their body shape but a small percentage do fall for it.

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.
