So it's all ok for skimpy female costume but not for male?

I take it those who are complaining must be insecure with themselves.
I don't think this is a case of skimpy costumes for male are not alright and female skimpy costumes are, I think this is a case of people wanting skimpy female costumes but not skimpy male costumes. Square is simply responding to those desires.
Square did not remove the costume because of some great controversy or boycott or such. They removed it because a bunch of people said they did not like it and no one (or very few) bothered to say they did like it. Compare to sexy female costumes, where tons of people love them and really want them in the game and constantly say so.
That is not a double standard in the least. At least not from the perspective of Square.
And as far as those complaining being insecure, that is an old and pretty silly argument. There is nothing insecure about liking one thing and not liking another, or about wanting less of something you do not like and wanting more of something you do like.
