Is the Spectre censored?

[moulala2]

I'll admit I don't play the MMO this game is based on so maybe it's supposed to be this way, but from googling the character and seeing the official website compared to the teaser it looks like Arcsys slapped an undershirt on her for some reason. Can anyone who plays the MMO confirm how she looks in game?

[⎛⎝ Kupo ⎠⎞]

No, you're right.
It's the censored version in the trailer :/............

Edit: Honestly I was waiting for Spectre to buy the game ( love Arcsys games ).
But I am not buying if she releases censored...
I don't want to support that.

Sometimes we see more tame alternate outfits in ArcSys games (example: Yuel from GBFV).

Fear not, as modders will quickly remove more than her undershirt ;)

Design is censored, but it's hard to say who made the decision since it's the exact same censored design Spectre already had in some versions of DFO.

[rant] We just live in such a dumb world where locking MK's fatalities or Callisto Protocol's extra gore behind a paywall is enough to spark an outrage yet any mention that women do indeed have boobs is promptly met with cancel attempts.

I mean, we already have Berserker that has no problems running topless (Ghostblade not being that far behind) which is clearly sexualization of male anatomy. Yes, we should adore beauty of human's physique more and more (as was the case during Renneissance era). Sadly, investors' and advertisers' double standards and cowardice when confronted with very vocal, uneducated (and unfit for life among society as a whole) minority will not go away anytime soon (if ever ).
[/rant]
Hopefully we can get something similar to GBFV's alternate costumes (for Zeta and Metera IIRC) that remove some of that censorship. I mean, DOA6 was marketed as if it mostly done away with sex-appeal but we all know how it turned out after launch.

PC version has mods.

if ye wana uncensor them, there's mods for that.

Its not neccesarley Arcys, because they also have Baiken on GGStrive; besides Striker is censored aswell so this was to be expected, but as others pointed out, this is PC; the PC community got Striker to wear her MMO costume (and manny, manny more.. or nothing).

So you can buy or wait until such a mod comes out. Even Inquisitor recently recived a barefoot mod (not my thing, Im happy with the Angelic Color mod and her bikini armor due the top, despite it showing so MUCH CAKE).

She seems to be censored. Spectre has 3 different versions (awakenings), the game seems to be getting her 1st version (1st awakening).

We didn't see much of her front side, but I noticed that her back seems to be more covered up. If you look at the dnf trailer she has this grey portion in her jacket, that thing is not in DFO (in-game).

https://www.dfoneople.com/gameinfo/character/Slayer(F)#Spectre

go to the 1st awakening section.

I'm not surprised she's censored. I noticed that in dnf duel some people have posted some of the artwork that you can unlock in-game. Most of that art is censored compared to DFO.

Whenever I get this game I'll for sure get it on pc, in order to fix the censorship garbage. DFO ain't censored in-game dunno why they censoring dnf duel, probably Soyny and their shi3t.

Not sure if it's censored or not censored but design is base on this model in the video
I like this design she's looks more badass imo

Literally like, 10 or 15 centimeters of less skin on the character's model. This thread is gas.

They covered literally all of the skin except two inches of back. If you don't care that's fine but let's be accurate here.

This is just ridiculous. You don't even play DFO, you were just aware by googleing artworks that she has been somewhat censored and now you're talking about accuracy.

DNF characters are based on 1st awakened avatars in DFO that you have to actually buy in game. If you don't buy this avatar a Spectre maxed out at level 110 won't let you see as much skin as you can see in so called censored version in DNF because basic f.slayer characters have more clothes than that.

It's a more pleasant design, don't see why anyone'd prefer the alternative. Looking at the "uncensored" (lmao) version, the top feels a bit too busy with color, diving in and out of skin tone and black. The back in particular just looks... eh. Might as well have made it completely open. Maybe imply a cocktail dress-ish look, seems like it'd fit in well enough with the femme fatale idea she has going on. But that may be a bit too classic and boring. The "censored" (lmao) version, meanwhile, is a bit more conservative with its breaks and, imo, it works really well.
Which is why I think calling this "censorship" (lmao) is a bit much. Do you know why the design was changed? Straight from the mouth of anyone on the inside?
It's basically always just "less booba / skin = must be censorship / political agenda".

1) You're using quotation marks wrong. They are called that for a reason.

2) Using "lmao" more than once is excessive and only shows your allegiance towards brainless part of social media culture.

3) All your arguments are nothing but subjective take on the issue, no matter how eloquent you try to sound (I can at least give you that - you do explain things quite in detail).


If a default state of something is more risque yet all we get is tamer version of it then yes, it's usually censorship. Maybe not on it's own (there can be a valid reason to choose tamer option that fits more with overall artistic vision of the game) but many players are just fed up with more and more games and skins getting tamer for no other reason than some soulless, hipocrytical investors.

I personally find it sick and repulsive that more and more gore is considered a good thing (MK's fatalities, Callisto Protocol's extra death animations, etc.) but people that enjoy a celebration of human form (be it skimpy female outfits or skimpy male outfits) get called the worst things.

Oh, my sincerest of apoligies. I seem to have impropely utilized orthography, such that it gave a wrong impression of my wit and understanding of formal spelling systems.

Lighten up, bruv, these are Steam forums, not yer bloody linguistics classes.

Either way, innit obvious these are just my opinions? If not, well, I'm saying so now. Speaking of, "pot calling the kettle black", no? Everyone crying censorship here is equally just sharing their own interpretations of the situation, because ain't nobody got an actual darn clue.
Me saying that the only reason why people would even say such a thing is because the changes don't personally appeal to their specific gaze, which, due to not being challenged for so long, thus prompts outrage born out of entitlement, would be therefore just as valid.

Can kinda agree, though. Both are ultimately objectification of subjects involved, so, while not really inherently negative, the rather mindless treatment of one of these artistic outlets does seem rather onesided.

This version of the design was literally made to abide by Chinese government regulations, which is pretty much the definition of censorship. I don't know why they went with it for this game specifically, but if they just thought it looked better why is it not the norm in all servers? Not to mention this is exactly what Arcsys did to the women in Granblue Vs, and they did explicitly say it there. The chances that this was purely an artistic decision are pretty much zero.

Also your aesthetic sensibilities aren't universal. The entire reason I even bothered to look up the original was that the undershirt stuck out like a sore thumb and I knew it wasn't supposed to be there. I don't see how the original was "busy" at all, this one is just more bland.

Well, hopefully I won't have to punctuate further that it's my opinion.
As for the other points - fair enough, if true, you got me.

Both current designs are kinda bland, imo. With all the accesorizing, she has a high-fashion flavor to her, and I think It'd make for a more interesting design to lean into that. Like, a battle gala dress, or something. High femme but also formal, since she also has that bit of business-lady tinge. But hey, different strokes.
