Oh, like you don't do the same thing when the discussion turns to music. =P

I didn't mean anything bad by it man. I just didn't know how else to paraphrase your entire post. I was referencing the whole thing after all and not just one sentence. But I guess I could have put it a little better =\

Art in games are trying to turn its player on to seem like a better game. Ever seen an ugly hero in a serious game? What about an uncouth heroine? If that happened sure it may still be a good game but, it'll be no fanservice to turn players on.

I can't really understand what your position is.

You know, guys, that the best heroes in literature are always ones with significant human flaws. Gorgeous, athletic, Japanese teenagers and porn actresses just don't really seem to communicate basic personal flaws. If we want to reference classical art, our favorite characters were people like Casanova, Don Quixote, King Arthur, Hercules, Harry Potter, and the like. A common thread running through all of these heroes is that they tend to seriously screw up in various ways or have huge handicaps working against them. Harry Potter was a half-assed wizard who got by almost exclusively on luck, Casanova was a genuinely terrible person who defied Hell all the way to the end, and King Arthur, among other things, had sex and child with his sister!

You may notice that the main character in GTAIV is middle-aged and balding, and you know, I find those things about him pretty compelling.

But aside from that my original point was that Ming Numara in Lost Odyssey made me want to vomit anyway because her boobs are REALLY gross.

So what if busty characters that don't wear much are used often? That's the type of girl I want to see in the game. Or do you want the love interest to be a fat ugly girl? I don't.

Jesus man there are so many things wrong with this. There are basic ideas in film and literature that are well-established that you cannot have sexy and meaningful at the same time. If you do, it is only in rape scenes, and if you find those sexy you are a sociopath.

My favorite example is Lost Odyssey and the character of Ming. I could write about her all day, but basically my problems with her stem from her like fifteen visible thongs (why is she wearing so many pair of underwear????) and her enormous disgusting pale boobs (that are really veiny and extra gross). She is completely disgusting. She is a walking vagina and I guess if you like DDDDDD breasts you might like to look at her and I guess that's fine, but when the game tries to bill her as a meaningful character I just can't really buy it. I prefer to keep my pornography and my video games separate. When the game has her in a scene and is like hey this is serious story business this is real art guys, but then you see her fucking boobs, you're kind of left in this awkward place between sexy and meaningful. You can't have both at the same time and if you think you can you are kidding yourself.

I lol'd.

Yet you think Ming has big breasts? Dear god man she's barely a C.

I've seen big boobs.. PAST D. . and there are huger breasts out there.

dude, that's just stupid. If you are proud just because of this then there is something wrong with you. The same thing happened with Laxius power as well with one of the characters.

Lovely, supple breasts.. hair of honey mead.. skin of silk and velvet, eyes of the purest sapphire.

That sounds just ... disturbing.
