What is your stance on nudity?

Makes is easier for YouTube videos and such, not that I'm one for that.

Also offers an alternative to artistic touch. Whether it is necessary or not, it is an option to allow folks to choose how they experience the atmosphere.

Similar to 'turning blood off' and such. I doubt there will be anything but subtle nudity if anything so it may not be a necessary suggestion anyway. I mean I'd they choose it, they just use the crystalization to cover up anything 'suggestive' for artwork in stained glass or characters.

I mean I'm an adult so I can't say it bothers me all that much either way but doing something like that (as if going further than IGA has gone in the past) would immediately bump the rating of the game to M and I think needlessly narrows the audience. It's not like you can't represent "sexual" themes without nudity just as you don't need to be explicit even if your product has violence in it. The PG-13 feel of the Igavanias is preferable to the "woah so edgy" R of the Lords of Shadow series and I don't think random (or even plot relevant) succubi X needs to be topless to convey sexiness. Random statues or non-graphic paintings are fine and if I recall in line with previous Igavanias. So while obviously I respect whatever artistic direction IGA were to take, I find it hard to imagine that going all the way/further than in the past with nudity (or violence) would be a benefit to the game or the audience it aims to reach.

All I mean is that I personally preferred the tone of the Igavanias over what I had seen in the Lords of Shadows games. They were "mature" in the same way games like God of War are "mature" and that isn't really my jam.

I personally do not mind it being done artistically, heck, in some cases, artistic nudity can be very soothing in a non-sexual way.
I hope we have some beautiful images in the artbook to bring relaxing smiles.

My apologies but I thought it was obvious that I did not think that one story was enough of a reason to think Iga had a plethora of artistic ideas that would have nudity as a central focus hence my wonder.

I should point out that I was referencing conversations elsewhere on the forum about the overall possibility of mature content, not limited to nudity which is why my sentence ends with "especially nudity" which would have been odd to say had that been the only thing I was talking about. As for central focus perhaps "driving force" would be a better term (once again going off of things I have read/talked about here).
Not your fault since you are obviously new, just thought you should know why I said that.

I picked the "Go ahead" option ! There is so much censorship in this world and so much people still see the human's body as a demonic or shameful thing.
If it can serves the artistic vision of Igarashi-san, then just go for it !

What are breasts anyway ? A miserable pile of flesh !
*go hiding*

Even nude male titans or greek style statues would fit the Igavania atmosphere I think. There is so much, sooo much, gorgeous nude paintings, statues and... basically arts, it would be such a waste to censor this art just for a bit of hips / torso / breasts / legs.
It's not like we'll see sex scenes between monsters I guess...

I take a break and come back to this again. I voted for IGA to do what he wants. Whatever comes of that is what I want to see. Politics, streamers, local kids, I don't care. Why? Because from what I've seen of most modern "parents" they'll allow their kids to do whatever violent media they want but the moment nudity is involved they get butthurt for, what to me, seems like no reason at all. Both are natural parts of existing as a human. Live with it.

I'm fine with it, it doesn't bother me. If he wants to add it that's just fine with me but if he doesn't that's okay to.
