When I found that out the other day, my excitement went up about 100%.
...
For women of a similar mind-set to me, being forced to have 'medium' breasts must be weird if you are of smaller or larger proportions, and having the option actually taken away from you when it once existed must feel discriminatory.
For the second part: What's it like not to have a muscle slider then?
Does it feel discriminatory you can't fatten up/slim down? Do you feel discriminated in not being able to reflect
your build? If you do then let's hope they add that option next time!
Speaking for myself, I don't give a single shit about how big my boobs are in the game, especially since XCX has almost gone OUT of its way to include as few customization options as possible for the avatar body. And even if I did, I doubt it'd be a 'deal breaker' and decide AGAINST purchasing the game because I couldn't make my digital breasts reflect my real ones.... xD
Anyways, totally agreed 100% of having Shulk/Fiora "return" as "classic VAs". x)
Doesn't really seem like you're open to arguments either since you keep ignoring the numerous counter points people raise to every one of your posts. And they haven't made themselves infallible either. If they don't consider the framing important, then maybe try and argue why it is important or why the breast slider is inherently bad regardless of framing.
"It's fanservice therefore it should be gone" has been your stance with little to back that up aside from scatterbrained straw grasping bringing in the irrelevant Street Fighter glitch and that (presumably) guy harassing you. At best you justify how it is fanservice, but not why it should be gone. Because one doesn't imply the other.
Oh boy.
I honestly doubt we'll see eye to eye no matter what argument is put forth or if I'm arguing you "correctly". You're on one side and I'm on the other, and our stances
just clash. More generally I have no idea what points I'm not directly/precisely responding to and I'm too tired to search/dissect all these posts atm.
One guy (you know of) has 'harassed' me, but thanks for reminding me! (I won't get into other instances both on- and offline where it's happened) And sure one Street Fighter 'glitch' happened, but it's pretty clear the game has enjoyed having its female cast "play" for the camera much more than the men. That's not an accident. And sure, fanservice or a sexy design is nice every so often, and a sexy design can be great to look at and introduce variety to clothing options and unique looking female character... But I think it's when time and time again women are made to ogled that I have to start rolling my eyes, especially when it's often my gender up to be ogled or have their ass shoved toward the camera much more than any male character would.
I get it. Tits and ass are great.
As for justifying how it's fanservice I don't think it gets more specific and clear (or at the very
least,
pretty darn likely) when ONE gender has their major [over-]sexualized asset as the one thing they can change about their character other than their height. Most games, even old MMOs offer way better customization features than that, XCX for whatever reason chose to keep the customizing options pretty narrow (besides the face). If you don't see it as fanservice, that's great and you see breasts as just another body part like any other (I doubt that, but...), and if you do like that sort of thing then I don't really care (it's why you won't see me around Senran Kagura or DoA Extreme titles, they have their audience) but don't be surprised if you don't find
unanimous agreement especially if a game is trying to hit for more "broader appeal" like Xenoblade/NoA might be going for.
But again, if I can't "win an argument" because of the fanservice angle, I get it, some people like it and want to see more of it, then I can't do anything to change that, and of course it doesn't mean I have to agree.
But it doesn't matter, Nintendo of America made the choice for us, someone decided it for I'm sure some set reasons.
