NEW Fire Emblem if Trailer - 3DS - Nintendo Direct JP

It's a step forward from pairing two people together and having a baby magically pop out, and can only progress in complexity and nuance as it becomes more accepted in the medium which it is being displayed through. Additionally, displaying the actual intercourse in detail would yield lower sales across the world, and create additional cost for the company creating the game, given the laws that have to be met and the additional costs to localize the minigame to meet them; thus, you get face rubbing, which is a cute way to signify affection between characters.

Just like any other set of features and gameplay, it takes time and iteration upon iteration to get to a place where it is an in depth mechanic, and it takes baby steps towards an idea to get people comfortable with what they are experiencing, especially when they have been taught that sexuality is a filthy subject not to be breached. And as far as being "just a reward for the player," I have to wonder if you even played Awakening at all, given that the majority of the romancing in that game didn't even involve the player (Robin) to begin with.

I was a bit dishonest when I stated I didn't know why people were bothered by sex in games; I know perfectly well. It makes them uncomfortable, as they view sexuality as something to be repressed and be ashamed of, and take incredibly seriously. It's a sore spot for people that have distorted views on sexuality, and I didn't need your post to explain that to me.

This game is going to sell like crazy, just like the previous entry did, and we will move closer towards accepting sexuality in video games as a direct result of it. Feel free to dislike it at your leisure; it will accomplish nothing but further illustrate the convoluted and asinine mess of a concept western sexuality has become due to the constant moral pageantry of those who are scared of their own nature.

I hope this post helps you understand how some people don't give a shit what you think about sexuality in video games, thanks for reading, and thanks for having your own opinion on the matter :).
