OF COURSE they won't add too many hot guys, girls/gay guys aren't their main public (and when we have it's usually romance, eeeh... GG. GIMME FIGHTS FFS). It's annoying, but that's how it works, and it's not about to change... *sigh*.

At least we have Sousuke, but he's not even legal >_>.

Replace 22 with 18, and that's my post as well. =)

You are rather quick to pass judgment on people, and in a sense poor naive judgment at that. But none the less, i highly doubt anything will be done about it, it is a marketing campaign, and one that seems to work.

My post was incredibly sarcastic.

I don't understand why people are getting up in arms over the fact they increased the size of a virtual character's breasts--though it's merely likely for that one picture, and almost certainly for marketing purposes, they're still just breasts.

Why are breasts such a terrible and shameful thing, that having a well-endowed videogame character is a cause for so much alarm? I adore the female body, I find it wonderful to look at and appreciate, and Jora's is certainly no exception.

Why am I suddenly a "fifteen year-old male" if I express appreciation over a well-crafted female character?

*agrees 100% with Kakumei* Hear hear!

Has anyone ever seen that movie with the Norse chick with the belt of power, and her husband was unable to bed her because he wasn't strong enough to beat her?

That's Jora in a nutshell. Anyway, that's where the character idea came from, I believe. Her look is almost identical as well. Sexy norse women always get the mojo going.

dsnesnintendo · Aug 19, 2007, 01:16 AM // 01:16

(first those arn't nipples the typing thingy wouldn't let me use alot of spaces)
I think we've all done alot of growing here...especially jora (high five)
but seriously who really cares
If it makes the game sell better good
if the boys like it good
it they can disable charr males good
whats the downside
it really doesn't matter if her boobs are big as long as the character is fun to play with
hell if they gave vekk a six pack would you care
if Gwen had Double D's would you stop playing
what im trying to say here is...'

Boobs rock and so does Guild Wars.

Drag0noX · Aug 19, 2007, 06:18 AM // 06:18

I don't understand what the big deal is about Jora.

Sex sells people

enxa · Aug 19, 2007, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Sex doesnt sell. I mean it does but thats illegal in most contries. But i dont buy that, and im certanly not going to buy the cyber version of it.

To answer Kakumei's question why such a big deal about the fact that they increased a virtual womans breasts - well, the problem is, they kinda increased a virtual womans breasts! Which is by itself stupid. And to think they thought that this would appeal to me as a customer offends my inteligence and makes me feel they are considering me to be a monkey. and i am not, just to be clear ^^

The concept art version of her was very sexy. She didnt even cover her boobs excpet for some paint (or tatoos) and i found that to be quite ok. Now she just looks like a tramp.

Here come the law suits.

Anyway, arguing other the size of her breasts is bit silly. Simple fact, sex sells, people will remember things easier if it has a sexy woman on the poster, deal with it.
