New super hot Final Fantasy XV CG character renders (Cidney, Iris, etc.)

Off-Topic: I make my avatar's myself and I use characters from anime shows currently airing. This season's Avatar is Izetta from Izetta the last witch. Mind you, I still haven't watched the show yet (My courses aren't allowing for much free time
) so please don't spoil it for me :3 On-Topic: I really like Iris and her voice actress, but her squirmy movements will tick people off

Yeah people wishing a potentially decent character wasn't such a blatant example of female objectification are so hilarious. Sexual double standards are good for a chortle.
Please don't reveal your ignorance by pointing to Gladiolus's open shirt. Male objectification is not in fact a widespread problem in media.

Yes, we are organizing a letter-writing campaign and mailing in burnt bras as protest.
Not that this is a problem men have to deal with.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I know, but they're doing it with as little creativity as possible, "hey, let's turn the female mechanic into a person dressed as a halloween version of what a mechanic should look like in our fantasy based on reality. No need to use actual creativity or anything."

Pls don't mock this perfectly functional and realistic attire. You should be ashamed of your words and deeds.

Can we PLEASE talk about something else other than how Cindy is the worst thing to ever exist (she's not by the way)?

Not saying that women shouldn't feel bad about these designs but honestly as a guy I would have laughed my ass off if Snake had that as his default costume and probably kept on wearing it till the end. Hahahaha, that's so ridiculous.Not that this is a problem men have to deal with.
Outside of, I guess, Yuna, I completely agree.
That said, Cidney is still a really cheap and incredibly obvious design. We know why she looks the way she does.
Posting for posterity:
This would be SO MUCH BETTER

It's truly bizarre that using (slightly) elevated vocabulary is seen as something to mock.
I guess it's better if we all just talk like the caveman stereotype of forum dwellers. Surely that's the preferred route for all of us.

I'll totally agree that she isn't the worst character revealed for FFXV the SECOND a scene with her doesn't feel like this:
Well shoot, wouldn't we all?
Of all the costumes that WASN'T in, really sad that one didn't get squeezed in; it might have even helped against some of the bad press on Quiet's outfit.

It only feels funny because it's unexpected. Imagine when designs like that is normalized for men in every media and people justify it with reasons like "plausible in that world" every dang time.
You gotta try starting the conversation yourself with a request like this, yar.

When you find out why she dresses the way she does, you're going to feel really bad about yourself.
Yup, god fuckin damnit
Also hope that Iris dies a couple of hours into the game, absolutely can't stand her
Overall they look really amateurish anyway, really weird

It's funny actually when you literally compare her outfit to Halloween costumes
She really doesn't look that much better. There are a few parts of the design I think are fine, like her hair, face and color scheme, but still a big LOL to the rest.

Full length leather stockings and daisy dukes combo:
Not worth the loss of tan lines. I rather she button up her jacket if it has to come to that.
EDIT: "Creativity" - also known as: doing things the way I find acceptable or appealing. Great starting point for any discussion.

Well I'd argue that it's just plain not a problem at all. Men don't live in a world that's hostile to maleness. A ripped dude in short shorts doesn't perpetuate a common stereotype that men are useful mostly for their sex appeal, and less competent and capable than your average woman.Regarding your spoiler: I just want to point out that the fact that a problem is not significant does not automatically make it not a problem

Regardless, it's almost always brought up as dismissive whataboutism instead of sincere criticism.

Listen, if Cindy's sassy funbags keep you from taking her seriously, that's your problem. You sexist boob lover!

The first page is almost as embarrassing as Cindys design.

The only thing wrong I see in this thread is the constant Cidney/Cindy switch up. What the hell ya'll!

These edits are all fucking terrible lol
Better?
I don't particularly like her pinup mechanic look, but daisy dukes on top of leather pant/leggings cutoffs? And with a bit of her underwear showing. It just looks like a poor attempt at censorship.
This is something you'd expect from Nintendo...
I think her design is just corny as hell, and trying too hard to be sexy.
If we weren't expected to believe she's a seasoned mechanic with that attire, this wouldn't be an issue.

Looks like trash which is fitting considering the main protagonists' design.
I think Gladio pulls off Cidney's look quite well too. Strong. Confident. Capable. It's all there.

It's really weird that they didn't actually go for the male fanservice route, especially after all the (completely deserved) shit they got for that Quiet design.
Yeah, I can see how that would be frustrating. In all honesty though, I think if devs want to do these sort of fanservice stuff in more serious games like this one, then they should add these costumes as secondary unlockable/DLC stuff.
Let people who want these things get them as an optional thing. Also, if you are doing fanservice then go both ways and do some optional male fanservice as well for the potential female crowd that might be into that. Right now, even though I personally don't really care about Gladio and Cindey's costumes, I have to agree that both look quite stupid.

Both male & female FFXV characters are idealistic and sexualized. Look at the four main ones, they're all attractive models. It's no surprise why this game has so many female fans, and even gay guys.
It's certainly possible to have sexy looking characters without pandering, the problem is Cindy's design just lacks any subtlety.
I'm always seeing people post those same drawings of snake and whatnot where the males are wearing female outfits. That's exchanging one extreme for another. Of course that shit looks even more ridiculous on a male character it was never design for.
That doesn't make for the most convincing argument.
