Hopefully I don't offend anyone by saying this but I have seen this brought up numerous times on the forum I did a search before posting this thread and I couldn't find a thread specifically about this subject.

I too don't care really...Kinda feels wrong to respond so indifferently, why respond at all? Because I care more about the possibility.. I don't want people to feel shamed or whatever for their opinions, which I think would happen if there ever was something more than nude statues or whatever in game. Sorry I didn't mean to make it sound like that, it was a Futurama reference. I couldn't help it. As far as vote shaming goes, I don't think anyone here would do that! Votes are anonymous anyhow. There is nothing wrong with wanting or not wanting nudity in a game, and don't listen to anyone who attacks you personally for your opinion.

I reworded the poll to clarify a few points people brought up. This means the 3 people who have voted need to recast their votes. Sorry! I won't do it again.

BUT, sales and publicity are a thing. I tend to disagree with you on this matter. The game MUST sell for younger audiences and people are WAY more overprotective towards this than it was before. I think small groups are much more vocal about the subject than they were before. My thoughts on target audience is that Castlevania games have traditionally targeted a Teen or Mature rating. And if Bloodstained ends up getting a Mature rating there is no reason to censor some tasteful nudity. The 18-34 age bracket is still by far the largest group of gamers. This is why we see so many "mature" rated big budget titles.

I think having a shop is a given; however they decide to fit it into the plot of the game I'm not all too concerned about.
New items appearing in the shop as you progress in the game is one of the best aspects.

I'm sure many have heard the story of how previous Igavania games (SOTN) originally had exposed female breasts with visible nipples at some point in the creative process (Succubus being the popular example) before the idea was canned due to the perceived notion that it might hurt sales by narrowing down to a more mature audience. But seeing how the last Igavania game was released 7 years ago I'm sure a majority of the Igavania fan-base is over 18.
I'm curious as to what the general community thinks is an acceptable level of nudity in an Igavania game. There are many cultures that don't even consider the exposed female breasts as something explicitly sexual.
EDIT: actual poll added.
