Hideo Kojima has mentioned that the character design for Metal Gear Solid V might be more “erotic”.
The reason he’s purposely going to make the characters appear more “sexy” in Metal Gear Solid V is to encourage more people to cosplay the characters in the game. The other main reason is to try and boost figurine sales.
Hideo Kojima tweeted the following:
I’ve been ordering to Yoji [Shinkawa, the game’s art director] to make the character more erotic, and he did it well.
“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.
The initial target is to make you want to do cosplay or [for] its figurine to sell well
The above image was actually tweeted by Hideo Kojima as the kind of “look” that he was looking for. This “butt” shot is from the character named Quiet who is a sniper in Metal Gear Solid V.
Do you think this is a bit unnecessary?
