As a designer, if someone called my design trash I'd assume they had a limited vocabulary, but I wouldn't be particularly insulted. The most insulting/hurtful critiques are usually verbose and informed.
A new character from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - NOT the latest Blade, in case someone does not want to be spoiled:
Thoughts?
Are you serious with this nonsense? Yes, let's just give up trying to make the world a better place because it's not an easy thing to do? :/
Fair enough. But surely you can see why that'd be frustrating from their point of view, considering the context of this thread.
While you are not endorsing the "vote with your wallet" dismissal that is so common on video game boards, you are still criticising my personal budgetary choices. Therefore, you are doing the same thing that "vote with your wallet" people do, just from the other direction.
Full Throttle got remastered, so quite a few people now get to experience it for the first time :) As usual, great Cara Ellison article.Mechanic in 1995

We've come a long way in twenty years... I also want to share this article by Cara Ellison https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/02/20/s-exe-full-throttle/
Full Throttle spoilers! But who am I kidding nobody here will play it ever anyway :( Tim Schafer is a legend and his portrayal of women has always been more than respectful.
Many Japanese games were unreleased outside Japan and for a reason.
What if [treatment of female characters] is in fact, the one thing that I use to determine the value of "a giant game"?

New art is great, and you can flick between both art styles at a whim.
I don't think it's their point at all but since you bring up marketing it's pretty interesting to note, and I think I mentioned this before, that neither NoA or NoE have directly brought up any of the rare blades in their marketing, at least from what I've seen on their twitter and facebook accounts. Any reference to XC2 has simply been about the direct and generic trailers unlike the Japanese market which is heavily focused on displaying the rare blade artwork and intro animations. Goes to show that they're probably aware of the sort of reaction displaying some of those designs will bring. I'm curious whether there will be a group of people who buy it on name and brand alone over here only to be put off by blades once they start unlocking them.
okay it kind of bothers me that you said "it's pretty tame" instead of something like "it's not like that"
