Daily Fact
Mobius Final Fantasy was once ‘too sexy’ before a redesign
Japanese games tend to have a bit of a reputation for their scantily clad or rather suggestively dressed female characters, but Square Enix bucked that trend with 2016’s Mobius Final Fantasy for PC, iOS and Android. This time it was a guy that happened to be a little ‘too sexy’ in design.
Main character Wol originally had an outfit that was completely open on its sides revealing his upper body. It looked like he was wearing an apron and little else. It was a little too suggestive for both the team and fans’ liking so it got some added material. Ironically it would have been better if he was bare-chested, Conan-style. It was the Onion Swordsman outfit that maybe suggested a different kind of swordplay.
