Sorry, Jason.

And this is why we can't have nice things..

Holy shit THANK YOU! I was thinking exactly about those characters the other day. Infamous 1 & 2 are pretty awful about writing female characters. Horrible, in fact. I can't believe Schreier is such a coward that he will attack a niche game from japan made on a shoestring budget for what he believes is sexism when…

Yes, Sexism is a problem. It still exists and is present.

Sounds like you're insecure, Jason. Sorry if you're too embarrassed to play video games in public, but that's your problem. Many of us don't have time to play games in public (or don't feel the need to spend every moment when we're out in the world staring at tiny backlit screens), so we enjoy them at home. It's too…

There is a very reasonable solution to this entire mess. Don't buy the game.

This artwork, by itself, is by definition NOT sexist... I wouldn't treat this woman with any more, or less, value than any other male or female person. You really didn't need to bring this back up, you're no more right than you were the first time... move along people, nothing to see here.

"He's also straight out of a straight male power fantasy"

I must say, I really enjoy this current trend of Japanese developers telling Kotaku writers to fuck off whenever they write dumb shit articles like this.

Drama over a breast ... Serious, who the f**k cares? You belong to some cult where you can't touch meat before 30? Serious, it's a game, so much drama over that why? If you don't like then don't like *dot* It's your opinion and nothing against that but there is no need to make a film over that.

Here's an interesting post from the HokutoAndy from the previous trailer giving some insight on the designs of the Dwarf and Sorceress.

JEEZ this site is soo annoying anymore. Why do you get to be a writer? How is this news? I love it that the Artist of this game trolled your ass. How about quite being a whiny bitch. I love JRPGs as much as the next person. I find over sexualized super cutesy loli crap embarrassing myself. Example: Neptunia games. So…

Look Jason, you fucked up plain and simple. No amount of rewriting your position is going to change that, you are forever bias in your assessment in the eyes of your fellow Kotaku. Your words went significantly farther than an article on the broader issue of sexism or inequality in the gaming industry and was a direct…

Here's my big concern after considering this whole situation. I'm concerned that, if we keep going down this path, that it will no longer be okay for someone to make these kinds of stylized illustrations without it being interpreted as some sort of subconscious commentary on the state of gender relations.

"Because I wouldn't want to be seen playing it in public."

Look, I'm not a censor. I'm not going to say that an artist shouldn't draw what he or she thinks is beautiful. But just as I champion an artist's right to respect themselves, I believe that it's essential for critics—and for regular people—to discuss that art.

To me, all the bases are covered in the character designs. You have the Top-heavy characters (Fighter/Sorceress), the super-musclebound characters (Dwarf/Amazon), and then you have the slim/average characters (Elf/Wizard). I don't get all the outrage, are people suggesting we should never have any top-heavy…

"...but I have no qualms about saying I think it can hurt this game and gaming as a whole"

"I will be glad if Mr. Jason Schreier is made pleasant with a Dragon's Crown."

Wait so titillating female cartoon characters in video games are why women get sexually harassed at PAX East? WTF.
