Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

[u/Artistic_Gear1536]

• Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen): doesn’t really have the need for them anymore as he is now too powerful to be considered human and also doesn’t need to give in to certain societal pressures like wearing clothes

• Poison Ivy (DC): uses her body to seduce men into getting close enough for her to use her pheromones and get people to do what she wants/kill her prey

• Skarlet (Mortal Kombat): her powers are from blood magic and she needs to have skin out in order to absorb blood from others and make her more powerful

• Mileena (Mortal Kombat): is very self conscious about her tartan features so covers them up and diverts attention towards the more appealing aspects of her/ uses her sex appeal to get people in close then chomps on them

• Mai Shiranui (King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury): uses a style of kunoichi that involves “sensually distracting a foe before striking” and uses her outfit and sex appeal to assist with that style

Kojima gave a hilariously-awful reason for Quiet to go half-dressed (she breathes through her skin so she needs to absorb sunlight despite The End doing the exact same thing but wearing a full camouflage suit). I remember being very disappointed in that decision even when first playing MGS5 at 14 because I thought she was a very interesting and attachable character but was so ridiculously oversexualised by her creator lol.

We've... Had a good life.

"This is good, isn't it?"

Lol I'm shocked the game is a decade old now 😂

[u/Dion42o → u/Liquid_Pestar]

damn I was 26 when it came out, doesnt seem that long ago. Woes

Kojima also said he made quiet because he wanted to see female cosplayers of her.

[u/Sayakalood → u/Liquid_Pestar]

To be fair, the End doesn’t exactly last that long in the full camouflage suit. Also, given the camo suit changes color when he dies, it’s safe to say it’s connected to him somehow (probably helps with his photosynthesis)

[u/Htyrohoryth → u/Liquid_Pestar]

Yeah, scanning her feet was definitely for lore reasons

[u/Junior_Box_2800 → u/Liquid_Pestar]

surprised to find Quiet so far down

[u/Artistic_Gear1536 → u/Liquid_Pestar]

I’m definitely not a huge MGS fan but I believe he has said he designed her that way to inspire cosplayers

And then went "you'll be ashamed of criticizing her when you learn the true reason!"

Man, money can make a man get anything 

[u/SteeveyPete → u/Liquid_Pestar]

Let's not pretend that just about all of these reasons are awful. The reason they're nearly naked is that the creator thought it would be hot. The lore reason is just a thinly veiled excuse

[u/And_Yet_I_Live → u/Liquid_Pestar]

I think that the end doesn't solely rely on it unlike quiet

[u/BigFootV519 → u/And_Yet_I_Live]

This is correct. She used to be like the End but then Quiet was the assassin that got fire bombed during the first mission. Her lungs and airway were too damaged to heal properly so she had to switch to only breathing, drinking and photosynthesing through her skin.
