Newer promotional material shows Tifa with a slightly larger bust, more on-model with prior games. Was it adjusted?

For what it's worth, I also took the liberty of translating it to the best of my ability and came to more or less the same conclusion: Nomura wanted a more athletic-looking Tifa (which makes sense since she is a martial artist), and reduced her breast size of his own accord. The ethics department also said they didn't want them flopping around during the comparatively more dynamic combat. So he went on to add more restrictive clothing, both to prevent DOA Age 99 tit physics and to make her design look more sporty/athletic.

I think it is clear that it is a somewhat carefully prepared statement, so it reeks a bit of corporate speak, but fundamentally I see nothing wrong with wanting to make Tifa have more of an athletic build, and wanting to prevent titty physics from looking ridiculous during gameplay and being a constant disruption to the tone.
 
Now will people stop sperging out over a nothingburger? Or is this going to be another #CaptainMarvelGate?

It'll be interesting to find out what else has changed, if certain quests and scenes have changed (you know what I'm talking about) then you'll see a real media supported spergout. Because it will actually be affecting the intended media audience.

I really wanted to comment on tifas tiny teetees when they debuted the game couple weeks ago.

What the fuck.

I WANT SOM BIG TITTY MAMA. NOT THIS SOFTCORE VANILLA SHIT. THESE TITTIES ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO INSPIRE HUNDREDS OF DOUJINSHI AND 3D RENDITIONS OF HENTAI AND SHIT.
People are shaming others over liking Tifa, because she's not even a Trans Creature or a Furry.
 
This entire argument is dumb because she's wearing a sports bra (which, you know, makes sense for someone who runs around punching people) and that's obviously going to make her tits look smaller.


But that was originally released in Japan in 2017, soon after Automata. I’m referring to his next project

It's a phone game, and still ongoing, though. The Reality arc from 2018 was probably the most fucked part of the game (and arguably moreso than a fair bit of Nier and Drakengard, because it's primarily grounded in... Well, reality). The Fusion arc that's coming out at... Some point is a continuation of that.

So, who knows.

To a certain degree; as I said, the Taro games in which he was more involved with gameplay design are really not a lot of fun to play unless you're an autist masochist like me (and, in the case of Drakengard 3, they also run like dogshit). But Taro brought in people he was familiar with for the art and music, which I've seen praised just as much as the writing and hacky-slashy.

Honestly I just think it was Cavia (or Access) holding him back because fuck have you played Drakengard 2? I hate myself but I'd rather pound nails into my scrotum than try to unlock all three endings for that game again.

I'd rather play Drakengard 2 than try to replay Drakengard 1. Drakengard 3 was... Sort-of fun, at times? Kind of?

Drakengard 3 absolutely ran like shit though, which is impressive for a game that was just okay graphically.
 
Got an update of the boob situation from a weeb in Japan. He does a lot of translations so I'm pretty sure it's legit

When he says it like that, it would make sense that SE will want to consult someone to make sure they get their targeted age range. They prefer to hit their equivalent of the E-rating so that way more people will buy them and of course what they consider E-rated is not the same as ours. But an entire "ethics department" though?

Anti-sjws are trying to position themselves on the side of creative freedom because the stars of aligned in their sex-negative favor. Unfortunately, they seem to be in the right.

Of course, we can't really know. Perhaps it was the ethics board and SE fans are just fucked from now on.
 
I'm more concerned about the grit of Midgar being scrubbed than a slightly breast reduced Tifa personally.

For a wonky translation and being made by the Japanese who doesn't have a massive urban decay problem, they managed to really capture the way people living in a den of inequity do back in the original better than most western developers outside of Rockstar (and without parody).

Can't wait for salt over Cloud cross dressing though because somehow that's offensive to troons.
 
So instead of blaming Snoy I should be blaming the moron who wanted FF15 to be a musical?

It's offensive because he can pass as a woman without really trying, In other words, they hating.

So why does she still have tiny stick arms?

What I'm saying is that final fantasy has never had remotely realistic character designs and this really was just to avoid the giving people boners or making SJWs uncomfortable.

Seriously anybody buying that "it's to make her more athletic and realistic" reason is deluded. You're literally punching out man-made gods in this game. And yet Tifa doesn't have any muscle definition, but her tits are the change they decided to make? Just give people their titty monk.
 
I don't mind more grounded designs but this is FF7 not FF Tactics, and Cloud and Sephiroth are still pretty boys for the female market. Might as well make Tifa a titty monster. I mean the realistic character design argument is gonna fall flat so long as Cloud's sword weighs 700 lbs and one of your party members is a dude operating a robot cat operating a robot moogle.

That scene was dumb. Why in the ever living fuck would a brawler punchy character suddenly get into a slap fight with the evil bond villainess simply because shes a woman? Punch that bitch in the stomach so I can see her getting her just desserts.

In fact you know what? Change it into an solo fight sequence where Scarlett actually fights. Make her like the sexy temptress ninja character. Have her pull daggers out of her dress and make the player wonder where shes storing all of them. That scene has so much potential now in the remake.
I could get behind this except no-Ninja Scarlett. She runs their weapons development division. She should have crazy gadgets. Like Palmer's mako gun but, y'know, good.

Thread is controlled opposition for when the actual changes come out (POZZED gameplay and no jokes) so we can all have another round of "REEEE ONLY INCELS DISLIKE THIS GAME"


And I looked upon you and I knew you were my nigga
I fully expect full fan-wank Sephiroth, needlessly broody Cloud, spunky Tifa, and Disney-Princess Aeris. Not to mention the fun stuff getting cut. Those are all a much bigger deal than Tifa's tifas. Even so, someone must stand up for the large breasted women of the world.

Yes, racks need representation! I'm sick of this media whitewashing!
