...I think the author of this article might have issues.

He's apparently some kind of video game journalist, but he's fucking baffled that people would cosplay at a FF convention. Imagine if a sportscasters saw football fan dressed in a jersey and facepaint, and they didn't know what they were seeing and thought they were a pervert. I'm not particularly into cosplay, it's not my thing at all, but I understand the reasons people do it. This guy seems to think the entire FF fandom is some weird kink thing, and he's really insulting about it too. And he clearly doesn't know anything about the game, and instead focused on ERP and brothels, something that only a very small subset of the playerbase participates in. WTF RPS, next time send somebody that has a clue.

I know. They need to assign journalists or critics who get that sort of game and is a fan of the genre at least. Remember reading a review for a game where the opening line was "I'm not a fan of this genre in general" then proceeds to shit on the game and give it a low score. While he should have taken into consideration he didn't like the genre when reviewing the game I find more fault in whomever assigned him that game to critique.
