She loves creating emotional characters

*Long sigh*

...

Same as what I said in the other thread.

She seems very passionate about the things she believes in and fights for.

However seeing this and I have questions on exactly what direction they are going with Lara.

I believe women should have the freedom to be sexy and funny without being sexualized and I will always be at the forefront of that fight

Is she just talking about Core promos or something or will she push to not include things that have been associated with TR from the beginning. Like her classic attire for one thing or her exotic physical appearance.

It's probably more a comment on how women can't dress certain ways without it being considered sexual - changing that mindset.

Imo classic Lara's outfit was never sexual and it shouldn't need to have been changed because it was 'sexy'.

Why is the spotlight on Belinda once again?

After the last thread about her blew up because of pronouns, wasn’t it pointed out by some that she’s a junior writer on the project and so her influence will most likely be minimal? Meanwhile, here she is giving interviews to Forbes and the insane thread is being bumped again.

Well for the Last Revelation/Chronicles her top was sexualised by a demand of Eidos to see more of her cleavage. The original outfit that was planned wich appears in the FMV was less revealing.

I feel like she's talking more about how women can be sexy just from personality without being sexy physically.

I think Square Enix is done with Tomb Raider.

Loveletters are difficult to find. Just as difficult as finding one person on the planet that really seemed to write a loveletter.

Once you've established what you can do well, keep making more. This can be very difficult to keep doing. Knowledge has a way with staying without feelings, and the bill, is due to kill.

This kind of stuff just gives that leaked script so much weight. I don't think the gaming world will be moved by an older Lara who is stripped of anything that makes her fun and recognizable.

I can't see how they could possibly call TR12 a unification if they will throw away everything that made all the previous Lara's stand out.

Then again I'm not as personally invested into TR as I used to be so whatever happens will just happen. TR will succeed or flop and regardless I won't be moved much.
