Since we've been talking about the combat system of the series, I'd like to know what people would wanna see for Genesis when we get the inevitable combat reveal.
For me, even though I really like all 4 Chronicles games, I'd definitely like to see something entirely different for Genesis.

My issue isn't that it's MMO combat, its that in some ways its much weaker than the combat in actual MMOs.
For random ideas to spice it up? Idk, on the offensive side: art combo actions (e.g. art buttons turn into different arts "later in the combo" after use), unique meters or resource systems for each character. Still keep chain attacks of course but maybe try to integrate them better with the rest of the systems compared to 3 where it felt like a separate minigame.
Defense wise, maybe some actual types of attack, e.g. AOEs with a set range, attacks that hit only party members in front, etc. Things that encourage you to move around besides just keeping your positionals.
I'd also like to see things like Xenoblade X appendage damage, and requirements to fill certain conditions (e.g. a boss charges up some super move but dealing enough damage to a specific appendage or some other target cancels it) throughout the fight. Just things that can help make the major encounters feel unique.

Refresh my memory....what were his reasons for becoming a testament and why in the end did you end up fighting him as a boss? I remember initially Shion was with him in the boss (passively) but then through the power for talking and friendship you fight solely him with her back at your side.
>>
>>570416683
I think he was genuinely convinced by Wilhelm's universal reset philosophy. He just wanted Shion to be with him in the new universe. Hence the emotional abuse, I guess.

Shion was dying from U-DO cancer and the Universe was doomed. Kevin became a testament to save her life and help Wilhelm reset the universe. Shion initially sides with him when he comes back to her, but then decides against it after Allen and KOS-MOS wake her up to how much trauma he's put her through in his attempts to save her. Shion loved him but couldn't forgive his methods and wasn't willing to sacrifice the other people that care for her for his sake.
>>
It's a genuine shame that there aren't more RPG protagonsts like Shion. I feel like entire too many stories are deathly afraid that the audience will get mad if the MC is a genuinely flawed and damaged person. And they do, is the sad part. It's why people latch on to villains, cause there's an unfair expectation on heroes to be self-insert paragons, but deep down people want to be able to relate to people who kinda suck a little.

People call Noah boring all the time and he's the least liked MC of the trilogy though?

What about Matthew? I never see anyone talk about him, to the point it's easy to mistakenly think A is the protag of FR.
>>
>>570414716
That's a white person
>>
>>570418575
A lot of people talk about Matthew and it's usually in the context of "wow I wish he was the protagonist of 3"
>>
Was the conduit Void was using the same one that Klaus used?
>>
>>570418575
Technically he's the least-popular because his game requires the most homework but Matthew universally well-liked, haven't seen one bad comment about him.

I, personally love Matthew. He was such a breath of fresh air after three games of even-headed, nice, every man protags. I was watching Gundam ZZ before FR got revealed and I thought I really wanted a Xenoblade protag like Judau; hot-blooded, impulsive and really loves his lil' sister. Matthew's my 2nd favorite MC after Rex.
> I never see anyone talk about him, to the point it's easy to mistakenly think A is the protag of FR.
First time I've heard of that but I can see it.

>>570418878
From what I know(haven't played 3 or FR), isn't he just a Fei clone?

>>570418989
What, no
He's sincerely one of the most refreshingly optimistic, energetic and bro level protagonists in all of JRPGs
I get being disappointed with 3, but FR is probably the best Xeno experience on the market outside of Gears or Xenosaga 3 and I sincerely wish it was the main game

Neku and Rindo from TWEWY are the only other JRPG protags I can think of that are truly flawed

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/1u4dmn3/because_it_didnt_show_up

Bro, look at this, and look at the comments. I thought the posts yesterday about Reddit being obsessed with cut content and insignificant loose ends needing to show up in Genesis were joking, but it's true.

I really do need to get around to 3. For some reason, it just didn't interest me.

I love that Margulis is utterly shook to find out that he's been a corporate pawn this whole time. Dumbass.
>>
>>570417641
I think you're mistaken about something. If you ask most people they'll tell you they prefer a flawed protagonist over a paragon of virtue. The problem with that is that everyone's moral compass is completely different. That’s why there are characters 4chan hates but Reddit loves, and vice versa. The first examples that come to mind are Ingrid and Dorothea from Three Houses.
You aren't immune to that either. That’s why developers increasingly create harmless characters and perfect victims who handle their trauma in a way that isn't toxic to others.

It's a long explanation, you may want to check the archive.
In short: the leak is real and mostly correct but there are one or two details which do not seem to be compatible with the trailer, suggesting some scenario tweaks between the leaked image was sent out to the outsourced development team and the final game.
The next trailer will explain everything.

Really surprised this is coming out next year but they didn't use an English dub for the trailer.
Is this gonna be another XB2 situation where they rush the dub as hard as possible?
>>
>>570420412
everything there made sense though
alpha rejects the premise of either old world
ouroboros embraces the premise of synthesis

it really did feel like the cosmological mechanics of origin/ouroboros make extremely little sense without assuming things are present that took until X:DE to be confirmed
>>
>>570422440
it's probably getting recorded right now

No, this is a July/August/September release. They are not rushing it, the dub is simply not done yet.

>>570423248
the full game has been retranslated for 2 with just editing needing to be done here and there. 3 had a full retranslation done but it has more issues with line length and typos and stuff. X isn't finished yet and isn't a full retranslation. 1 only got name delocalization since it's localization was the least terrible. I can't see myself ever playing the english versions again

>>570418575
Matthew is helped out by FR being on the shorter side so the dumbass trait never really having time to get irritating and the fact that all of the OMG direct reference "hey remember that from 1/2" covers a lot of the story's weaker aspects. Glimmer and Nikol being kinda superflous to boot
>>

I just noticed another scantily-clad beast woman in the trailer. Already more fanservice with these npc designs than the entirety of 3I actually prefer the skin-tight suits from 3
>>570425834
It helps that Eleanor's design is cute and tasteful while also looking cool in action. Not to gamewar but when the designs of both the DQ12 and P6 protags dropped within the same week, I thought no matter what the next Xeno MC looked like, they'll just inherently have more going for them. I was correct in that assumption
>>570426273
I hope so as well. Genesis is definitely going to buck some of the Blade traditions, like with the MC not having an already pre-established, best-friend dynamic (Rex technically has Gramps). Wondering how fast Eleanor hits it off with Archer Miyabi
>>
>>570425834
I thought that was more about the design style in general more than Eleanor specifically
>>570425736
I'm fine with Noah in the context of 3 not really being about him in the same manner that 1 is Shulk's story and 2 as Rex's coming of age journey. The stuff with him and N is hilarious but they def could've done a better job at rolling out those same issues that turned him into a cat booty obsessive psycho. If 3 revolved around Noah in the same way that 1's side cast aside from Melia is virtually useless then I would prolly be more frustrated with him.

Probably. It's called Genesis, and most of the characters are elves.

>Where are the nopon?
Nopon are really annoying, and are also native to Mira.

>I'm not liking cat thing at all.
I keep forgetting the cat thing exists. Probably a proto-gormotti. Call me when their species evolves into cute Welshwomen.
>>
>>570457114
We have FF14 Hrothgar in the trailer so I think we already have our designated cat race.
I also don't think the Gormotti are relevant since they evolved from core crystals on another planet in another way. Nopon have appeared in every game in every universe for no reason so I wouldn't be surprised to see them show up here. They just werent in the initial trailer, probably to make people focus on how different the game looked.

So when was that interview with Takahashi where he's complaining that Nintendo won't let him do new IP and only greenlights Xenoblade games? Was he talking about Legacy back then and was turning into a "new chapter" in Xenoblade the compromise he had to make to get Nintendo to pay for the thing?

>>
>>570457351
Nintendo wants Xenoblade to be their first party version of DQ or FF or Tales. Every future Monolith RPG is just going to be called Xenoblade. If there were any compromises it was probably not including content that would increase the rating too much

>>
>>570457351
Nintendo also probably doesn't care what the actual game is though, as long as it's called Xenoblade. So there's a lot more freedom there than you'd think.
Nintendo rarely sees a need to create a new IP when you can just do new things while leveraging a recognizable brand. I know even internally you have to work REALLY hard to justify why some new idea you have is worth being a new IP and not just a mechanic in a mario level.

Found it, it was an interview with Harada back in 2019.

So this was a while ago and I guess that the proposal that would've gotten through at the time was Xenoblade 3.

>>570458453
Well Nintendo already has Pokemon and Fire Emblem. Maybe Xenoblade occupies some kind of prestige spot for a JRPG in their portfolio, I don't know. I just really want to know what Legacy was and the road it took to becoming this.

Shulk's class would be just as useless in vanilla 3 as it is in FR, and Rex's class is so broken that it would destroy build diversity for every other character (and 3 already struggles with this issue compared to 2, and I'd argue even 1).

Nintendo doesn't have Pokemon, and FE is a strategy game series. So Xenoblade is their first party RPG brand, I think they've said it before in investment meetings. It's also very clear from Fire Emblem that they don't care about anything other than each installment being called Fire Emblem. I'm sure that Monolith could make a game about anything they want as long as it's still recognizably a roleplaying game and it has Xenoblade on the box.

The English trailer said "Newly voiced event scenes". I also checked the Japanese trailer and it said "Voices added to certain event scenes".
The word 追加 suggests to me that these scenes are already in the game and are simply get new voices, unlike what a lot of people are suggesting, which are new "cutscenes". I wouldn't expect anything like animation updates etc.

Usually they only bring on two artists to have one do human(oid) designs and one to do mecha or transformation designs

Considering we can tell from the elves that Yoneyama Mai is doing the character designs, I think it's pretty clear that PALOW (who designed Alpha's final form) is doing the 'mech' work this time, which is crazy exciting.

In 3's first trailer, there was only a party of 4.
Beside, 3 started with a party of 3.
>>
If you can't have the full party out at once anymore, then they need to do something to make actually swapping your party around worthwhile. Everyone who plays FC, 2, and X just settles on their favourite party and lets everyone else be a benchwarmer. Even Torna and FR have people pick their favourite character and never play as anyone else. Only 1 and 3 managed to make the whole party worth playing.

On the other hand, Monolith Soft acknowledged it (it was a western only thing).

>>
>>570480060
I think that this is the most likely case.
The character sheet for Eliza and Cain makes a lot more sense if they're Genesis's version of Heroes/Blades. The very narrow scenario described, the different name, the focus on their specific fighting style, the line about the Fateful meeting, etc.
Eleanor will probably do something like equip Eliza's crystone and gain access to her sword fighting techniques. You'll probably see some vignettes from Eliza's life and probable death alongside Cain in the arena.

Listen to me. I'm not talking about purple particles or anything else, the first leak which is verifiably true says that those two are the protagonists. It's not up for debate.
This contradicts Elanor's name in the official tweet, and what the leaker has allegedly said on BiliBili over the past few days, and that may be because the first leak is outdated. However those two characters do seem to be the protagonists and the fact that the reveal trailer mostly follows her confirms this.

As far as the basic premise that people judge characters based on their value systems is concerned, that's technically true, but you're operating on the premise that people must find "flaws" inherently agreeable to appreciate them artistically. For starters, in a relative sense, those can't be called flaws, and I think it's more important that characters handle their problems in believable ways than permissibly. The qualifier is that it's just easier for people with less theory of mind or hastier judgments to believe someone who doesn't do something they themselves wouldn't do, which is basically the author's sidestepping the issue. By less theory of mind, I mean people who literally can't understand another's motivations and behaviors. By hastier judgments, I mean people who can understand but will interpret the presence of something in a story as an endorsement of it, so they take offense regardless of the actual presentation. There are similarly people with hypersensitive imaginations that interpret anything done to a character as if it were done directly to them.
That aside, you can't reliably determine how many people who nominally prefer flawed protagonists sincerely feel it, let alone formed an original opinion. This will become apparent to you very quickly when you ask normies about their opinions on storytelling and they're unable to substantively elaborate on any of them.

I did all quests and the 100% survey, but no more.

I was originally gonna do all the tyrants too, but honestly, every single fight in the endgame just felt the same. You just activate overdrive and then ghostwalker/ghost factory and run through the same motions each time.
If X's combat emphasized reacting to the enemies' behaviour and responding accordingly, I'd probably do all the tyrants. But with the game as it is, there's no point. Can only do so many fights before the overdrive, decoy, blossom dance routine bores you to tears.

Haven't tried Xenoblade 2 and 3 yet, but I hope they involve more active engagement with each enemy's unique mechanics cause X's system made each fight completely identical.

>the first leak which is verifiably true says that those two are the protagonists. It's not up for debate.
ヒーロー is the term that 3 used to refer to all of its non playable party members, which was translated as Hero in the English version of the game. It can mean protagonist or main character, but protagonist and main character are also different words in Japanese. ヒロイン wasn't used in 3, but it also means the same thing. It can refer to the female protagonist or a love interest, but it's also even more commonly used to refer to important supporting characters than ヒーロー is.
Importantly, メインヒロイン also isn't used here, which would emphasize that Eliza is the main female lead in a game with multiple female cast members.

I honestly don't even want to comment on the subject of horny designs because both coomers and anti-coomers are making me go insane, but I find extremely disingenuous to say that Xenoblade 2 isn't BY FAR the horniest more shameless in the entire series. Yeah sure 1 had some skimpy armor sets, but you know what it didn't have? 2 main heroines with stupidly sexy proportions, one of them with booty shorts and the other one with a huge boob window and enough exposed legs under a skirt to kill an entire nursing home, a catgirl that becomes a fucking goddess with hips to beat 400 children (all of this is not optional costumes) as well as roughly 10 blades that are all basically walking fetishes, ranging from muscles, giant balloon tits, femdom tsundere, trap and furry.
Yeah I know Eunie is pretty hot and Mio's ass in nice. Yeah sure you can put some stupid looking armor on Melia, Fiora and Sharla, but come on, even X is riskier than that.
It's not that I want every xenoblade to be "You won't last 10 seconds without cumming!" but it's 100% justified to feel bad about the series taking something away from you.

At this point, it seems very likely that they're doing an N and M thing again, as much as I hate that. Pains me to say it, that's the only thing that neatly explains all the irregularities.

you guys are doing too much to avoid the core problem

they are not "distinct characters" because moebius were moebius and you will notice that they had completely different designs from noah and mio on top of different personalities and attacks
there are only a few things that dont match in the leak but literally all of them are devils proofs at the moment and more importantly could easily be part of the story that we have yet to see

in other words the only two possibilities are: the leak is outdated, or the reveal trailer hid a lot of stuff
theres not an inbetween here, you cant just pick and choose, theres too many similarities that both the leak and trailer confirm in each other

also can we stop putting so much weight in the recent comments made on the forum
the fact the chinese leaker has gotten so much attention over the past few days is enough for me to be distrustful of anything they are saying because unlike february their comments are now adulterated
however especially since they contradict their own previous leak and the trailer i just dont trust it and i dont know why you guys are

>>570498485
But the leak doesn't say anything about what we know of Eleanor's character. Eliza is described as a blind slave who is trained in blind swordfighting with a kind disposition and some kind of mysterious power.
Eleanor is a rural noblewoman with some greater purpose involving her brother who joined Leukos to become a Vessali, which is where she originally meets the male lead. That's not mentioned in the leak.
We also know that the Vesselai are supposed to use anima crystones to fully unlock their powers, and anima crystones are magic rocks that have people's memories and minds imprinted and stored in them. Each anima crystone also comes with its own logo that looks suspiciously like a class icon. It seems very specifically like a set up for a class system like 3, only this time the hero character is whoever the stone's previous owner was.
We are probably getting a moment where Eleanor is blinded in the fight against the Mobius looking woman and then finally completely taps into her crystone (it's indicated in the trailer that she doesn't do that at first) and relives Eliza's memories and is immediately able to copy her fighting style.

It's comical to me that we have literal art from the confirmed character designer of the game depicting the character we have seen in that trailer as blind and people are now twisting themselves into pretzels arguing that it must be a different character who just happens to look identical to the main character and is apparently also a protagonist somehow.

I guess it will work like a class system, but two party members won't be able to use the same classes if they are stored in a single stone.

So let me get this straight
In your book its ok to jerk off to fully clothed characters but anyone showing the slightest bit of skin then that makes you a fake fan
Have you possibly considered that theres 6 illion people who have played xenoblade 2 and 3 collectively and many of them will have masturbated to both games
Instead your assigning this binary all or nothing fallacy to ordianry people who are allowed to criiticize how the game looks even if you disagree

If the stones are the class system, and if they follow the ludonarrative logic, then maybe we can figure out some rules.
First of all, they are put in the character's weapon, meaning that weapons and classes are dissociated this time around.
Second, if one stone = one class, then it must mean that two cannot equip the same class.
Three, and its a stretch, but I think Fire, Water and Wind = Attacker, Tank, Healer. So basically, a Fire stone turns your character into a DPS.

Ghosts are definitely the sole element I could see returning besides the Conduit / Zohar. Albeit they wouldn't be called ghosts they'd be called something else.
Both X DE and 3 randomly have a bunch of stuff related to matter antimatter annihilation events that don't get explored too deeply. And considering their similarities to Gnosis, and how domain stuff and the conduit are also just barely brought up but not explored, makes me think these elements are the ones that may be revisited in future, albeit in a different context.

I have a question for all Xenoblade 3 lore scholars. There's something that's always bothered me about M's motivation and indeed what she even did as a Moebius member. First of all it sounds like M was just freeloading and doing whatever N told her too, but why? I imagine Z would have wanted her to report directly to him and for her to have her own colony?
Next, why didn't she express her true feelings to N at any point during the hundreds of years they were Moebius?
Finally, she knows that N did it all for her, so why did she swap with Mio at the end anyway? This ties into my second point, it's preferable to live and be with "her Noah" but I don't understand why it had to reach the point of her basically sacrificing herself, seemed a little contrived, like it was just a way for the writers to save Mio and they brainstormed the rest over lunch.

Both N and M are not in charge of any colony.

>>570509154
>First of all it sounds like M was just freeloading and doing whatever N told her too, but why? I imagine Z would have wanted her to report directly to him and for her to have her own colony?
Moebius' lives are sustained by the lives of the soldiers. M, having lived a life where she accomplished all that she wanted to and entrusted the world to future generations, is not willing to trade anyone else's life to extend her own. She doesn't want to be Moebius. She would rather be dead, and it's implied that she's tried and failed to kill herself. There is nothing Z could do that would make her actually do things for Moebius' benefit, but Z can't get rid of her while keeping N on his side. So, Z lets her freeload, because N is worth it.

>Next, why didn't she express her true feelings to N at any point during the hundreds of years they were Moebius?
She did. N won't listen because after what he did, he can't handle the idea that it was wrong. He absolutely will not accept that his son died for nothing, so he's unwilling to consider the possibility that he made the wrong choice. He also refuses to burden M with the full knowledge of why her child and everything he built was destroyed. He would rather be seen as the bad guy than expose her to that sadness.

>Finally, she knows that N did it all for her, so why did she swap with Mio at the end anyway?
She doesn't want to live anymore, but Mio deserves to live. This was an opportunity both die and extend Mio's life. And since N won't talk to her or listen to her, she hoped that such a desperate act would finally get through to him.
>>
>>570509154
The long and short of it is that (N)oah forced it on her. She didn't want it, and hated her life as Moebius. So she suicided.

Theyre assuming totally different identities. I know this prologue is meant to be the start of the game but what if this is a "cold open" with a flash forward to later in the game?

What I don't get is why some people seem so adamant about how there couldn't be a genre shift especially after 3 presented a bunch of stuff that seemed important mechanically in the prologue and then was thrown out right after.

What if they introduce a calendar and school class system then immediately abandon it like the flame clock mechanic
>>
>>570518896
Yeah? Why do you think they insisted this first trailer only shows the prologue? Whatever the case some shit happens at the end of it that will affect the rest of the game and they will have to talk about it eventually.
It's like expecting 3 houses to keep sothis and the timeskip hidden. Nah they just revealed those eventually in a trailer after the first one gave a glimpse of the game
>>
>>570519142
That's exactly what I thought too. Would be harder to pull off for this game though because as >>570519226 says, they need to show the rest of the game and can't exactly keep it hidden.

I made the mistake of reading a comment section on Shitter(X) about Genesis character designs, and it's amazing most of these guys don't remember 2's artstyle being shat on for looking too much like Tales of. Especially coming right off the heels of 1 and X
>>
>>570519226
those aren't comparable though, there's no point in doing a fakeout intro following characters who die because anything at all that you show from later in the game would make it clear that those characters die unless they really, really commit to the bit for fake marketing material. and why bother? it'll immediately be spoiled anyways.
the school being a fakeout would be fine, though, because 90% of people are going just look up and see that you are not going to spend a lot of time attending fantasy school.

I think 2's artstyle definitely took some time to get used to, and I say this as an anime enthusiast. On first reveal I was super happy because the mere idea of "Xenoblade 2" was enough to shit my pants, but I can distinctly remember how worried I was and how disconnected I felt with the characters in the trailer.
I think a lot of people say the whole 3 houses thing because they feel the same about that game because they also never played it. (me)

I have dismal expectations for this becoming true but my ideal gameplay for Genesis is, firstly, for them to replace the autoattack with a dedicated attack button. I don't care if it's the same difference, autoattack has always been kinda lame. At least let the player feel more involved in the real-time combat.
Next, make the flow snappier and more impactful, like a fusion of FF7R and FF16 with 3-4 party members max and with arts on the face buttons like XVI. Art build-up is primarily based on hit like in XB2 and each character will have a unique build and playstyle based on their interchangeable weapon.
It's too early to hypothesize a playstyle for all the character yet but Eleanor's being based on countering with a unique parry mechanic feels right.

Monolithsoft will certainly think of a better battle system than that as this will be the game that, "revolutionizes RPGs"
>>
>>570535707

>>570536017
I'm talking about at the top of Frontier Village, just before you get Riki. Melia does not demand to know about ulterior motives immediately.

But this is good. She's standoffish enough early on that there were multiple incidents for you to mix up. Prickly.

Their H2Hs are going to be fully voices probably.

The chance is always there. Personally I don't care about voiced cutscenes that have no direction. Watching 2 static models move their mouths back and forth while they deliver lines 10 times slower than just reading is not my favorite part.

The original X story had the Ghost as a group of antimatter biological weapons created by an unknown faction. I wonder how much of that concept will remain if they ever decide to revisit the Ghosts. I think they are more than than religious interdimensional jannies

>>570539341
That is one aspect of video game graphics that's really ripe for advancement, though. B-tier and C-tier cutscenes could be a lot better than they are and a lot of games are trying to get a lot fewer programming and art resources.

Takahashi has come out saying that directed cutscenes are the bulk of the budget. Animations, models, voice acting, music, sfx, choreography. It's all very expensive and slow. Thanks to that we don't have to wait 6 years inbetween games.

I think that's why there's so much emphasis on trying to streamline that. Clever procedural or algorithmic ways to spice up a scene that doesn't require a big effort from art or engineering.

>>570541485
What would improve graphics is if those C-tier scenes weren't just two characters talking in a flat shot. Think of like, CD Projekt Red games or something, and how even throwaway sidequests have some reasonable production values.
One trick that Cyberpunk and Xenoblade 3 landed on (I think) was automatic per-language lipsync. It lowers cost and makes the game look better.

>>570541804
I think it'd look more like anime. Or if not exactly that, less awkwardness and fewer shortcuts. There's already a big difference between Xenoblade games with fancy camerawork in 3D cutscenes and lower tier anime games still doing VN-style stuff.

Animations don't just come out of nowhere. They either use one of a handful of canned animations and it still looks cheap, or they fully animate it and make it even more expensive than just adding voices would.

There are scenes that do what you're asking for in 1. Heart-to-hearts in 2 are also like that. It still looks cheap, and even doing that little means you're getting less content than you would otherwise. It's just not a good idea.

Also, nobody calls that "graphics."

Cyberpunk sold 35 million copies and used the money from The Witcher 3 that sold over 65 millions. You can't expect that production level from a series that can't get to 3M.
>>
>>570543967
Animations can come from math and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than having it come from a person. It used to look shit, it now looks a lot better. The point is, imagine a future where all of those cheapo heart-to-heart scenes look like they get the careful camera work, emotive acting, and attention to detail as the main story beat cutscenes. If that could be done cheaply, that'd make for a much bigger presentation advantage than quadrupling the polycount or a higher resolution texture.
There is no "idea" here. It's an observation on where a lot of games are going.

>>570544469
That's true. But a lot of that budget goes into figuring out how to do it in the first place, which makes it a lot cheaper for everyone else since the industry generally likes to share the know-how. Low budget Xenoblade 3 DID manage to figure out lipsyncing per language.

It's more like this:
It's good for real women to show skin so they can tempt men but deny them to feel empowered. Therefore men will look for their kick somewhere else, which is video games. Since men tend to go to video games or porn, some women want the girls in video games to be more clothed or disfigured.
