@C2B Wow, I didn't know the sole definition of sarcasm was irony, thanks for the enlightenment. Anyway, since your excuse for everything was "It's ok if it's exaggeration," I thought I would add that to the definition. However, I need some clarification, does it just apply to women, or is it extended to minorities and homosexuals as well? Also, attacking someone for calling out these things, as opposed to going along with by saying "That's how things are in the videogames business world," classy man. @Sannom I haven't had a chance to play the first one yet, but by 2 and 3 he stayed covered the entire time. And I bet it was no where near the level of disintegrating clothing as Aya has to face in the new Parasite Eve.

@C2B Wow, figure that out on your own? Hmm, I guess the art of sarcasm is not lost on you after all. I'll give you some time to think about it, but if you need me to spell it ALL out for you, I will. @Amentep I won't address the first two point because of the ridiculousness of them, but the next holds some weight. I would say that all the facts you stated is enough of a buck on societal norms of the time. Why not translate that into her outfit, because now instead of a strong female character, she is reduced to adolescent fanservice. As for Kratos, he is the exception to the rule. How many male characters you see showing off more than a little bit of arm? How many times do you see a special ops squad armored, and the female member has her midriff showing or her top zipped down? But this kind of illustrates the problem here, you are calling for Kratos to cover up while defending Ivy's outfit. Hmmm.

Well, a couple of things you did wrong here. First equaling the exaggerations of men and women in games. Men in games are shown to be physical specimens, which makes a lot of sense with most of the activities they are participating in. Would you expect Nathan Drake to be able to jump from cliff to cliff with a gut? Would you expect Kratos, a man that shoves a hydra through a ship mast, to be a ninety pound weakling? Now, what does Ivy's attire and DD's do for her fighting style? Secondly, it is more than acceptable to use the style of another game as inspiration for yours, but that does not give blanket immunity for including the worst parts of it. So if they include a whip-sword wielding heroine, that means it is totally ok to oversize her breasts and use dental floss to hold them up? Terrible argument. And you bring up Bayonetta. Final failure.

I joined to ask are you serious with this character reveal? Is part of the contract when taking money from Square Enix that you have to put jiggle physics in the game? Seriously juvenile, guys.
