Not in my book. Any game or publisher or developer that forces my characters to dress like two bit whores is on my shit list.

Agreed. However I cannot pass on Tera because of it, it seems like a pretty good game if you disregard those "features".

I think people take it too far. If you're having the vibe of pedofilia or sexual children. I think there is something wrong with you.

 

To answer OP's question me and my GF bought 2 copies, I play a male lancer, and she plays a castanic priest. She loves the game, the graphics, and the art. She also had a good point also. "What kind of girl, hot in real life or not, doesn't want to look good in an MMO?"

So it all boils down to opinion. But there is ours.

and to comment on that dude calling them 2 bit whores. What if the nicest girl you ever met just happened to be dressed that way? Besides if a girl wants to show a whole lot of skin AND kick your ass! Jokes on you.

That "2 bit whore" expression really needs to be updated. 2 bits wont even get you a quick lick these days.

As for the dress code thing...I've met quite a few conservatively dressed females that were "extremely liberal," but i've never met a female dressed like a ho that wasnt a ho.

"not f.ing"...was that a freudian slip?

It's my firm belief that you just haven't met the right "female dressed like a ho" then.

derek39

My point is that on halloween a lot of non slutty girls older or younger get to dress up as a ho. What's the difference in Tera?

I mean Halloween is pretty widely accepted, and I've seen a lot of little girls wearing damn near nothing and no one gives a shit except the haters. lmao but I see more people complain about female looks in Tera, than at a damn halloween party.

Point being, different strokes for different folks. Besides this is also an anime-ish setting. Who here is really suprised? lol

You can keep saying they don't look like a sexualized version of children because of lore or whatever, but I think it's pretty obvious to most people. I think some people are just ok with it. I mean, Toddlers and Tiaras exists in this world. It must mean putting make-up and dressing your daughter in a Las Vegas showgirl outfit at age 6 is ok to some people.

So tinkerbell is a slutty whore right? I mean she was a small human-ish character that was pretty sexualized right?

I mean, she was as sexualized just as much as an Elin!

tinkerbell was a miniature pixie, but a woman of age. the Elin female is a deliberatly provocatively dressed child.

They really don't look like children to me, have you ever seen a child?  Elin's have the hips/legs of an at least high school age woman.  Children just don't look like that.

The point is the face, not the body.

Sorry, I'm cool with it. I won't touch the Elin topic with a ten foot pole, wakka wakka, but I don't have a problem with the oversexualization of any gender in a god damn video game. Sounds like typical fantasy, and it comes in all shapes, forms, and sexualizations.

Wasn't portrayed like that in every version. Just the ones you've seen i guess.

Locking this for the second time today to go through the thread. 

 

Leaving it closed. It devolved into a political/religious/morality debate, mostly about the Elin, which wasn't even really the thread topic.
