I’m not entirely sure why Kojima thought I, or anyone else, would be ashamed of our initial negative reaction to Quiet’s character design because I honestly can’t see how my expectations were defied. If Kojima absolutely had to keep the parasitic infection storyline, why not have her dressed in a super cool original body suit made from a breathable fabric? Probably because that would take away the entire point of the storyline: to lazily excuse the continued use of female characters whose sole aesthetic purpose is to be sexy. To continue to exist in the world of Phantom Pain she must be silent and in a state of undress, one of the most perfect examples of a needlessly undressed and objectified female character I’ve ever seen in videogames. Maybe not head-to-toe kevlar, but a nice bullet proof vest would probably be preferable to a bra with no discernible underwire, ripped tights, and a g-string that would probably feel like it was cutting you in half if you tried to get into any kind of sniping position.īut no, to live, Quiet has to be almost entirely naked.

In this scene, a guard grabs Quiet by the throat and forces her head into a tank of water, holding her head under the surface until she stops resisting him. Quiet is taken captive and dressed in prisoner clothing, which, in covering her skin, causes her to slowly suffocate. Probably his lack of displayable tits.Īt a later point in the game there’s a distressing scene where Quiet is attacked. Quiet is actually the second photosynthetic character in the series, the previous character being The End, but for some reason he gets to wear a lot more clothes than Quiet does. And that’s empowering how exactly? She’s essentially a houseplant. So, you see, Quiet doesn’t want to be exposed in the way she is. This infection means that she has to breathe through her skin, using photosynthesis to absorb air, water, and nutrients. It turns out that the reason Quiet wears that bikini outfit is because of a parasitic infection. No one has forgotten Kojima’s words and we have the full story behind Quiet’s attire. So, two years on Phantom Pain has been released.
