New Blade and Soul movie from NCsoft

I agree, it's looking pretty spectacular.

Breasts aside...

WANT TO BE KUNG FU MASTER NAO. WANT TO BEAT THINGS WITH FISTS.

*nods* This is why I want this game so much. ^_^

I so want to be a little fox dude and mess people up!

Didn't Aion teach you guys a lesson? Free demo first!

Each race has a male and female counterpart... I've seen the female counterparts to the "tall man", and if you looked you'd see the Kun (small rodent-esque race) has men and women. One of them even had a tiny little beard to show his age!

I don't think I could PvP a Kun. I'd be hugging it too much.

You just watched the video with the idea of bashing it's Asian characteristics haven't you??
It has different races, each with different physiques but all races (the Jin, the Gon and the Kun) let you choose between genders. The differences are physionomical and not entirely different species (dunno about the Lyn though).

The classes seem really cool as well. I loved the Destroyer. But when they preseented it i was actually more interested in the opponent because that gun wielding character seem so cool handling the guns.

I'm the same way...and I've stated my distaste for the unnecessary fan service of this game before. However, there is a couple of caveats I have noted that maybe away to work around this game's overly sexualized imagery...

1) Roll a Lyn. It appears they have chibi race in this game that is completely non-sexualized. And as an avid player of Gnomes in WoW (I have a small army of them, that is), I really appreciate all chibi races in any games. :)

2) I suspect from the amount of different costumes and shapes of the toons presented even in their own races, that this game is highly character customizable. Thus, you maybe able choose to put the boob slider at minimun and to wear something more modest. I have to see how the mechanics of that work when more information is made available to really deteremine what we can get away with.

...but I agree, other than that...the game looks great, for that Hal 9000 next generation PC I will purchase in the far future. :)

I like how you only mention the women, you're accusing the makers of this game of being sexist yet you don't see the ridiculously toned impossible men. Grow up, it's a game, guys play games and guys like boobs.

And your comment isn't sexist in what way, Jared?

...since you brought it up. I've seen no problems how the males are depicted in this game. You can make them as bishounen to testicular as you like...assuming again there's a healthy customized character creator (which I suspect there is). So that's a none issue as far as some of us are concerned and thus, there is no real need to mention the men. /shrug

I see nothing wrong with having good-looking characters...male or female. Obviously it's not going to be realistic, it's a game. Believe it or not, a lot of people like sex and sexualized characters. If you don't, it's your problem.

Its your opinion. I think the game is really beautiful & thank god someone is doing something like this with the Unreal engine. Frankly, western developers arent doing any better. Have you seen the bodies of Dom & Marcus in Gears of War2. Have you seen the bodies of Lara Croft in earlier series. Have you seen the female characteristics in WoW? You could count on your fingers just how many games there are with somewhat realistic human proportions(heck, I could only think of Half Life). Dont kid yourself, what you think as over-sexualized crazy proportions are just racial & cultural differences. Its a freaking game, give your holier than thou attitude some rest. On top of being a game, its a FANTASY MMO. Why should Fantasy worlds and characters look closer to actual humans. I dont want any reality in my games. The more over the top it is, the better. If you had leveled any criticisms towards the gameplay, I would have at least understood that but when you just criticize the boobs & the disproportionate bodies then you are just being silly IMO.

There's a difference between unrealistic breast sizes on skinny women and whatever the women in Blade and Soul are. The females make porn stars look like regular women.

Well said!

The asian MMO walking, talking breasts is such a tired cliche at this point too. It's offensive and tiresome.
