You missed the crux of the issue. No one is saying you can't say that you like women now. Consider the context of that statement in the way it was made and similar comments made by devs before.
Oh god. Well here we go again in this thread. It was nice while it lasted.
The biggest missed opportunity in Drakengard 3 was how there was this gorgeous soundtrack, but you'd only be able to fully appreciate it when you're in intoner mode, which is generally around 15 seconds per stage.Love that we're going to be able to pick select music to play with the jukebox.
I'm genuinely disappointed that all threads going forward on the game will now have perpetual derail attempts.Oh god. Well here we go again in this thread. It was nice while it lasted.

He can totally say that, I have no problem with it. It's just good to always keep in mind that the way we behave and the things we make contribute to something much bigger than our individual selves. Even though I don't agree with Eden's specific points, I appreciate that he's considering the game in an larger context than just purely the game itself.
He didn't say he designed the character to be sexy. His response to why the character was so sexualized was "because he loves women." The wording matters. Like I said, (and i've already explained why I find it a bit problematic), think harder about it.But my comment was not "kneejerk" reaction, is a serious expression of me thinking it could be a problem in being honest and saying the reason he designed a "game character" in a sexy way, that is all.
Like I dont see past his response, I dont see or read between lines or see an "implication" as you call it, I just see it as it is nothing more.
But if you or anyone has any problem with it I guess I just disagree with suprise in my face thats all.
There have been like six Nier threads in the past three days. How're they being perpetually derailed?I'm genuinely disappointed that all threads going forward on the game will now have perpetual derail attempts.

I'm glad there's a conscious effort to let you appreciate the music in the game.
Man I wish I could give Yoko Taro a hug lol.
But back on topic, I wonder what's up with the supposed special moves you get depending on what weapons you have equipped. Sounds interesting.
Oh shit I totally forgot about that! I hope that the other special moves are unique and a little goofy like thisHere you can see one of these

Using this broadsword + a gauntlet gives you a baseball move

Exactly, that's a pretty blatant persecution complex.Through the effects of super hyperbole or something, hell I havent seen you in a Nier automata thread since.... the tgs2016 trailer thread or something else... and i think we've at least 15+ threads since then.
And therein lies the issue. The same issue that behind Tabata's thinking at that one ATR.I wont because there is nothing to think, he likes women, thats why its "sexualized".
I wont look for a problem where there aint one to begin with.
Refer to the post about how unlike his other comments which are WILDLY exaggerated and self deprecating the context of that quote seems benign in comparison.Cooooooooonnnnnnnntttttttttteeeeeeexxxxxxxxtttttttttttttttttttt.
By that logic, he really thinks the ending is shit and he's serious about the game probably being awful.
He's being tongue-in-cheek. It does not take a genius to figure out that, coupled with Taro's past behavior, 2B's design is deliberately sexy. As a result, there isn't a need to take his words literally, as they're incredibly dependent on context. Thus, no need to read into the "I love women!" exclamation; the whole meaning behind the statement is obvious to anyone who's paid the slightest attention to anything else he's said in the last couple of months.

That was actually Ofuji, not Tabata.
But don't fall for his lies.The ending is gonna be crap
we have how many other threads that are going well, hell to put it in terms of how hyperbole this is , we've only had 2 "meh" nier threads(if we count this one) with this logic... so far threads havent been in a " Oh well bye bye thread" state, ever. Christ this hyperbole is bad. If you dont focus on one poster and continue to post about the stuff in the topic guess what, you can drown out the stuff you dont want to hear...Sigh...this thread was going so well too. Oh well.
I'm aware, but it's not like the dude disagreed with him, especially with the way women were written in FFXV and everything involving Cindy, but let's not get into that....That was actually Ofuji, not Tabata.
Servbot explained it well on the last page.If you simply do not interpret the way Taro speaks as whimsical and subject to context, then I guess I have nothing to discuss. To me, that line's perfectly in line with what he's said and done so far.
My mans taro with no bullshit excuses like Kojima
Short summary of the interview: (english)
Q: Can we expect a reason as to why 2B is so sexily designed?
Taro: I just love women!
It's the same implication as when the CD of FFXV said it's contradictory to want a non sexualized female party member. Subsequently, quotes like that imply that NOT having that mindset overtly means that you must not love the opposite gender enough.Which let's be honest, gets reiterated near constantly in equality threads what with the accusations that we all just must hate breasts.
There goes the people saying there was an underlying reason 2B was so sexy
Still on the fence about whether to import it to get it early or just wait the two weeks. Importing would be about $75 with shipping, which is $27 more than I'd pay getting it from Amazon US since I have Prime. On the other hand, it'd be nice to be able to play through it before Zelda is out.
A dress like that wouldn't exist in the Victorian era, it's a modern interpretation of Victorian fashion, lookup Victorian halloween costume dress in google and you'll find many dresses of similar length. And yes 2B isn't as egregious as Cindy or Quiet but she's still pretty egregious what with the white leotard and boob window.I'll be honest I had the demo and tried to do the whole butt flash with the camera, but couldn't and I think her outfit is very elegant. It's not some crazy thing like Bayonetta or Cindy from FFXV. Cindy from FFXV is straight up untasteful, they could have given her like some mechanic overall's that accent her figure but didn't go all out sexualized.
I think the outfit is fine if a little out of place, looks like something you would see in the Victorian era, almost something french.
You're much stronger than me lol. Decided I want to double dip so I can play it two weeks early. Had to buy a 10,000 yen PSN card though. That really hurt my walletI think I'll remain strong and wait out the two weeks.Don't hold me to that.

Probably gonna triple dip with the PC version comes out too RIP

There ya go thread derailed. Some people really love the word problematic
Ugh that implication.....
I can already see a Platinum fan making a thread complaining that the game wasn't what they wanted.
Oh god. Well here we go again in this thread. It was nice while it lasted.
