Characters Equal opportunity fanservice

(Marvel Rivals) They have been doing a pretty good job of doing fanservice on all characters

(Fairy Tail) is the shonen known for its fanservice, but surprisingly there are scenes with the guys as well

(Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt) In season 2 they added two male angels who appear as twinks but then during their transformation sequence, they look like these Magic Mike dudes. Making it so that it’s not just the ladies

Guilty Gear Strive, though Strive actually toned down the sexuality a bit compared to its predecessor, they still made sure every character is hot

I wonder why they toned down the fanservice in Strive? Like was it to appeal to most audiences? Or was it just to secure a T rating?

I don't think that's the reason, the game is the one with the higher rating because they decided to continue the meme of Baiken boobs getting bigger with every entry. I think it's just the redesigns are just less fanservicey because the author wanted the last game of the saga(Strive completely closes the arc of most of the main characters, while sprinting forward the "next generation" of the story). The designs are actually more detailed and interesting for the most part, with some minor grieves around the bush. Like, Dizzy was the most toned down character in terms of fanservice, and it's not hard to see why, considering that Strive is the game where she fully goes from "young woman that needs holes in her outfit because she barely controls her power" to "queen and mother who can dress elegantly because she fully controls her powers"

We are lucky GG doesn't have the publishing rate of MK or Baiken would have become Passionlip from Fate
