Jade's appearance looks more in line with her status as a regal assassin, and less like an accosted pole dancer ready to impale some guy's Adam's apple with her stripper heel because he touched her bum. While I don't fully agree I respect that you're being more reasonable about it than most others I've seen. I just find it silly that ultra-violence and gore is acceptable, but some cleavage or exposed skin sends everyone fainting on their couch and clutching their pearls. That's my problem with the neo-puritan stance NRS seems to have taken with the female fighters. Even if it is sometimes silly and impractical I don't see how the female fighers having idealized bodies and revealing outfits would really hurt the game's sales and rep. Especially when SCIV is about to release a batch of DLC outfits that were literally designed by an actual hentai artist. And that game's been doing fairly well. It's just puzzling to me.
