Square Enix has altered the design of the lead character in its upcoming mobile Final Fantasy game, Mobius Final Fantasy, because he was considered to be too sexy.
"After we released the screenshots in December, we looked at the various reactions we were getting online, and in the end, showing this much skin... For this game, we're moving forward during development and letting it evolve while taking into consideration users' opinions, so I asked the character designer to make a change." - producer Yoshinori Kitase.
However, it seems the decision was controversial amongst the development team, with project leader Naoki Hamaguchi and managing producer Hiroki Okayama preferring the original design, so there's still a small chance of the old design returning if fans kick up a fuss.
Mobius Final Fantasy is expected to release this spring in Japan on iOS and Android devices. A Western release has yet to be announced.

Is.. it a girl or a boy? I'm confused.
Are those boobs? What the heck, seriously though.
Normally, I would complain. But he looks like a woman, so there's no good reason to show skin.
It's not really the amount of skin that's throwing people off. I think it has more to do with the BDSM costume.
He?
By "too sexy," they really mean too gay. They just don't want to say that to Americans because of all the SJWs going around these days. No man should be dressed like that and it's the right move to change it. I wouldn't play a game as a character that looks like a fag.
But they have no problem with their other characters wearing even less clothing?
