what? is it really that bad they would need to change the age of the characters.?
Its the swimsuit for the child so innapropiate? haven't seen it.

Or they can just hide her age, like what KT did with DoA. Instead of "she is a 13yr old genius etc.", change it to "she is a young genius etc."
 
I don't know if I think it will, but Shulk and Sharla are 18+ and obviously look around that age. Lynlee is clearly supposed to be younger than that. Her face and body are that of a 13 year old. Sexualization of characters might get a pass by NOA (and I have no problem with sexualization normally as long as it's equal opportunity), but sexualization of characters who are clearly minors might lead to controversy in the US which is something most companies would like to avoid.

I'd prefer them to make her 16 years old or something instead of censoring the game, but let's see how it goes.
 
I apparently have pretty different opinions from you about the role of choice in video games. Making something possible in a game is not a moral endorsement of said thing, especially not in this case where the ability of that one character to wear that specific outfit was a very natural consequence of the game's existing systems.

Making it possible to dress under-age characters in certain outfits is not an endorsement of making it possible to dress under-age characters in certain outfits?

That it's a natural consequence of the existing systems doesn't matter one bit, not letting you dress her in such outfits is an easy fix had they thought it was an inappropriate thing to let people do in the first place. That's my problem; as I said, the game is not encouraging it, but no actions have been taken to prevent it. Basically: they think it's ok, and I disagree and think it's a shame developers don't want to change or improve or take any stance whatsoever against this.

This is the last I will say about this. The game looks great, by the way.
 
Btw here you can see how Tatsu is gonna appear. He is always gonna be listed as a guest character.

they censored fire emblem and bravely default, so i think they will do these changes to some suits that are a little too much.



i also love the skybox of this game. I hope zelda has skies as beautiful as these.

Next time, you go shopping irl tell them to not sell candies or put any sign for prevention for children. Candies are bad for children.
They give them cavities.

And they replaced skimpy costumes in Project Zero 2 Wii Edition in Europe with Mario&Luigi costumes. Everything will be fine.

Only the ones that are driving apparently. You can still hop on parked cars. Really weird.

Because your Skells colliding with cars on the road would be annoying as hell when you're rolling through NLA.

Differences in culture and US is not the whole world. You can state your concerns again when there is no actual change made when the game is out in the US.
 
This one?
yeah, kinda bad, most characters look weird i didn't think she was a child, just younger, a victim of the game excessive costumization and weird art direction.
they could change their age or alter some outfits i guess, would be ok.

The child doesnt have a swimsuit, all outfits are made to be worn by all characters, and scale to whatever size the character is.

But, yeah, some of these go way beyond OG Xenoblades original swimsuits, or even Sharlas more impractical heavy armors, I mean, those were actually swimsuits, and this goes into more eyebrow raising territory. And since any character can equip pretty much anything (I think I might die of laughter asphyxiation if I see some streamer with a huge male muscle chunk running around in a string bikini) well, lyn can wear it too.

Its to the point I seriously doubt those 'armors' will make it out of localization without change, and thats not even considering Lyn as a reason.

I'm not sure if you're being this dense on purpose, but the "candy" example given the topic at hand is just. . .if ever there was a need for a golf clap emoji.
 
Why do you guys think it will be censored? look at the Shulk/Sharla examples Seik just posted.
Isn't Shulk like 18? He's at least older than 14.
Like I mentioned earlier, when localizing it they should either change her age or the outfit or both like in the western release of BD.
Some could call it censorship, but I see it as proper localization in most cases

It's not an endorsement of actually doing the dressing. Are games where you can make your character evil an endorsement of evil? Clearly not. There are tons of games out there that give you the possibility of doing really horrible things... and also to not do them.

That it's a natural consequence of the existing systems doesn't matter one bit
Of course it does, people would naturally be less forgiving had that outfit been designed just for Lyn.

it's an easy thing to fix
Not really. As has been said outfits aren't character-specific, and banning one character from wearing that outfit would be awkward. The easiest and best fix is on the player's side.
 
Wasn't the first Xenoblade's new game plus mode kind of pointless because of how overpowered you were? You may as well just finish killing off the level. 100+ unique monsters before you beat the final boss in the game.
Aren't all new game pluses basically useless, since you've already beat the game? There's nothing important to achieve anymore, you just have fun with all the powerful items and abilities you already have and if you missed some areas on the maps or missed some side quests, you can now complete them. Isn't that the point of new game plus?

That's what we've been saying over and over but it didn't satisfied anyone :(
 
I look forward to people like you complaining when some of the outfits do get changed in localization.

Sure, keep looking forward to it. Make sure to bookmark the post and make a note too.

here is the spoiler of what you are looking for:
I didn't complain when they censor BD, FE etc. and I certainly won't complain when they censor XenoX
 
Okay, I made a couple of posts too but its kind of killing the thread so we should move on.

Are only humans playable? What about that beast guy

Did not know about the scale thing. Hmm, if that's the case then I can see NOA changing some of the more extreme outfits for all characters. Also, yeah these outfits are kind of heading towards an extreme that I'm not sure I like. I already had a problem with some of Seven's armors in XCX and a couple of Sharla's armors were just eyeroll worthy, but at least most of them seemed 'fitting' for lack of a better word. Some of these new armors just kind of pull me out of it although for most of the costumes I'm not complaining since I know I can just choose to wear something else.

Also...

(I think I might die of laughter asphyxiation if I see some streamer with a huge male muscle chunk running around in a string bikini)
Is this a thing I can do? cause if I can all of my male party members are going to be wearing bikinis at some point just because I can.

i think these clothes aren't going to be removed just from lyn, they will be removed completely from the localized version. Again, based on their recent censoring of some games, and they could even replace these outfits with new ones, like themoon said.


Maybe these outfits are seen as funny and silly on japan, but here people will have a problem with them, so why not replace them with silly costumes that would appeal to us?
 
That it's a natural consequence of the existing systems doesn't matter one bit,.

Yes it does, its a gigantic massive difference.

The difference between any character being able to wear any outfit, and specifically designing an outfit for a specific character is massive.

If each character had their own unique outfits like swimsuits, and lyns character specific outfit was pasties and a G-string, that would be a gigantic, massive, difference.

At the end of the day we still have a 13-yo with an underboob outfit. So guess I don't see this "gigantic massive difference" you're seeing.
 
There isn't a single streamer that actually tried to progress the story and/or cover as much of the map as possible? Most seem to be sticking to the starting area :/
 
And nothing should be removed from the game. I hate censoring, if anything just make it so Lyn can't equip bikini's. No reason why the older characters can't use those.

I know its not the same thing, but you guys remember this?

There was the one that made the OP videos, but he is playing by himself now, guess to avoid spoilers?

Well they said you could really customize it, so I guess it will go further than just re-coloring it xP

By god, it's a space opera, mecha, exploration, MMO, fashion design... animal crossing game :0

If they let you do F-zero races in your dolls I may explode

Its the difference between specifically making an underboob outfit for a 13-yo, and not thinking about people using outfits designed for different characters on a 13-yo.

WHich is a pretty huge difference, no matter how hard you try to push your bifurcation.
