There’s another MMO by the guys that did League of Angels — Knight’s Fable: http://knight.gtarcade.com/ I have not seen a single reasonably-armored female character on their websites. Behold!
Look at all those pointy bits. Most of their advertizing involves the female characters, though there are guys. Strangely, their armor and clothing offers full coverage.
Lastly, here is one of their actual advertizements on Facebook, un-cropped and unaltered.
Yep. Makes me want to cheer. How about you?
O_o I… have nothing to add. You probably said everything that needs to be said about this game already, lysander-gustav.

I just came across this, and I don’t even know. Literal boob and ass windows. (possibly NSFW)

Oh, this Lost Odyssey thing is supposed to be pretty awesome.
Hey it even looks like there’s a chick on the cover. Let’s take a look at the characters…. oh.
God, this requires a bingo. This is one of the most ridiculous costumes I’ve ever seen.
The other women on the main cast don’t fare much better, although nothing is as WTF as that.
This one looks relatively bearable… until you see it from behind.
Here, have a random boob window!
And just to make us feel all fuzzy inside, here’s a sexualized child:
I decided not to buy the game.
The most horrifying thing about this game is that it was published by Microsoft exclusively on the X-Box 360, that’s the forerunner to the X-Box One – a console that’s for the WHOLE FAMILY to enjoy!
While checking up on this game I didn’t find a single mention by a professional reviewer about the costumes or the worrying sexualization of a child – but I did find a refreshingly honest review by a user on MetaCritic (of all places), here’s the most important part:
