The Japanese don't care, they sexualize underage girls all the time in anime and videogames. In FF7 Tifa is 20 and Aerith is 22/23, but Yuffie is only 16 and she's in a swimsuit the same way. But the main two girls are in their early 20's.

A lot of other RPG's or anime always use teenage protagonists, so as a result, you're going to see a lot of 15-16 year old teen girls in swimsuits or suggestive outfits in a lot of videogames or anime from Japan. I guess people didn't care too much about this 20 years ago because people were closer in age to the characters, but now that everyone is 30-40+ years old it feels a bit odd.

One of the reasons Tifa became popular in 1997 was for the same reason Lara Croft became popular back then, she was a girl with huge breasts in the earliest 3D games when videogames were just starting to become "realistic" for the first time.
