Some of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain's characters are being redesigned to make them "more erotic" in an effort to encourage cosplay, said game director Hideo Kojima in a series of tweets today.
"I've been ordering to Yoji [Shinkawa, the game's art director] to make the character more erotic, and he did it well," said Kojima on his English Twitter account. "Recently I've been making characters this way. I create the setting thoroughly, how he/she spent early life, name, style, favorite phrase, fashion, action, to stand the character out."
He continued, "The initial target is to make [you] want to do cosplay or its figurine to sell well."

Oh Kojima you
This is going to piss off a fair few people.
Wait, he's just doing this now?
I thought this was the case ever since Yoji Shinkawa started designing the characters.

I doubt it since MGS has had a lot of sexual undertones for a long time.
Also Snakes ass.
And Meryl's ass.
And Raidens ass.
And EVA's tits.
And the B & B corp.
And Old Snakes ass.
And Naomi's cleavage.
I could go on for days.
CQC foreplay added.
Because tortured women in skin tight clothing moaning and groaning as they chased you around and got shot wasn't an attempt at being erotic?
yeah i don't think i'm alone in saying i wanna see Skull Face's dick

Skull head.
I feel like this is another case of cultural mistranslation that no doubt idiots will blow out of proportion
the cosplay scene in japan is much bigger and popular than in the west
Reminds me of when you search the FROGs you can grope them, they get pissed off and kick you down to the ground.
Interestingly enough if you do it on male soldiers they pass out

Oh my god, this guy..
This is the same guy who made a tweet about food looking like boobs.
More erotic? MGS 4 had Snake in a skin tight bodysuit, you could knock out male enemies by squeezing their balls. If you beat a boss and wait for a minute before you finish them they crawl around on the floor moaning and you can photograph them.
It goes way back really.

He didn't mention any names, that could very well be Punished Snake's ass.
MGS is very much about sexualising the characters for some reason, both male and female. Only game that broke this trend was mgs3 and possibly 1.

Sniper Wolf and Eva.
[QUOTE=lonefirewarrior;42080226]Sniper Wolf and Eva.[/QUOTE]
Not disputing that, but in comparison I'd say that they had less than the other games.

what, MGS3 had Big Boss and Eva basically fucking on screen at the end, plus don't forget the peep show thing they had in the Subsistence edition
Also, this is why it's really hard to take MGS seriously. They try and paint the series as a deep harrowing look at philosophy and what a man's life is worth and shit, but then they have a guy shitting himself in a barrel or a chick with her tits out on display 24/7
I mean, EVA was kiiiinda justified in a sense, she was to make sure snake trusted her and I guess she used her sex appeal to do that. Sniper Wolf is still left unexplained though, but I reckon he wanted a femme fatale like in the old Bond movies.

MGS3 let you take off Snake's shirt whenever you want, had Eva and The Boss showing cleavage down to the naval, had BDSM undercurrents with Volgin and everyone he interacts with.
