Atelier is yuri and straight bait.
It teases both and delivers on neither.
Fug arland trilogy.
Where is my Mimi x Totori romance ending?

The same games that had these characters not covered up had the same age rating. Try again.

Versus Rising has fixed angle camera and each attack is animated specifically so that you can't see the character's underwear. Censored versions of outfits were added because of the various restrictions by online tournament organisers. That's why you can enable original designs in game's options at any time. Either version is censored when you go into photo mode and try to look up-skirt, you can blame CERO/ESRB for that.

Relink falls under different rating category because you have free camera and the game has multiplayer where you can interact with other player avatars. Cygames had to make some changes if they wanted to keep 12+ age rating.

The whole situation makes sense when you know how regional rating boards work and when you see e.g. emotes like these in the game: https://twitter.com/halhalhalrin/status/1752109127726510149/video/1

If anything, threads like this one show how many people are vocal while they don't understand how this industry works.

Oh now you're just doing *checks notes* and taking potshots.. Djeeta isn't a 13 year old character, I know that was your go to card for Atelier but it's not valid here.. Sophie is the best gril there anyway.. #1

I was referring to Ferry, https://gbf.wiki/Ferry_(SSR)/Lore . Djeeta is 15, its not like it makes a huge difference in this case.

Also, I don't even know what/who Atelier is and I never mentioned it anywhere so you're either confused or you can't read your own notes.

Kids can use swords and violence to brutally KILL monsters...

But a panty is too much.

This was GBF 1.0... they've aged up since then.. and they age up through the class tiers too, so they're most likely pushing 20.. and this was before both the Versus steam games.. hence Djeeta's more curved figure.. so no, you are doing the *checks notes* thing and then throw potshots.

I also had no clue you were talking about Ferry, because, you know... she's not 13..

there is no censorship, stop crying you little babies

This is wrong on multiple levels.
1. The Versus games show panties in multiple animations for both Djeeta and Ferry, and Zeta of course isn't even showing off panties in the first place and her original clothes are in full view all the time.
2. It doesn't really matter if you want to blame the FGC for the censorship being present, because the point is that the uncensored outfits are still available.
3. Photo mode restrictions are not a concern of CERO nor the ESRB, they're a concern of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which banned Dead Or Alive Dimensions over it, despite PEGI being fine with it. And so photo mode restrictions got implemented all over out of fear of this happening again in those regions, yet outside of photo mode the designs were largely left untouched, as in Versus, and not as in Relink.
4. Relink does not fall under a different category because of either of those things, you're just making that up. The Trails of Cold Steel games are no different and several also got B ratings with their free cameras and viewable party member panties. And Relink itself has NPCs that you can ogle if you so choose. There is absolutely no reason CERO would be ok with the NPCs showing off panties when we know from Sakurai that one of the first things they do is ask to see every female character upside down. Similarly, this also shows it wasn't done for Sweden & co. because they wouldn't be ok with ogling the NPCs either. And online interactions are completely irrelevant to this sort of rating everywhere.
5. You also completely ignore Narmaya, whose issue isn't one of panties.

It's funny that you accuse other people of being ignorant, because you're utterly ignorant of what you're talking about and resort to just inventing misinformation to defend censorship.

I lost interest when I saw the original designs were censored. No thanks.

Can't say I'm surprised. :oface:

Changing a character's design slightly from one game to the next does not constitute censorship. Every version of the game will have the same designs.

If changing something because it's deemed "offensive", that constitutes censorship by every definition I've ever seen from any dictionary. Might want to try using one of those.

Talking how the industry works when "muh rating board" doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Nobody cares about ratings. Get a higher rating or just don't get them rated. Tons of games don't have one. Before you say "muh console version", don't forget you're on steam right now. If you release a game on PC you follow PC standards. Censored = gimped garbage. Was thinking about buying this game, probably not now.

y'all have no idea what censorship means. i grew up on sh‎it like soulcalibur and 90s anime, i have a soft spot in my heart for panty shots, but you don't have to be a big scary sjw invented in the minds of sensitive 4chan snowflakes to find them any combination of distracting, gratuitous, or immersion-breaking. not everyone they'd turn away (be they women or just, you know, whole-ass well-adjusted adults) are screeching blue-haired feminazis you like watching get pwned in right-wing shapiro/kirk/crowder cringe compilations trying to destroy the things you love. some are people you should WANT supporting companies making things you enjoy.

if they were doing the dumb black voids under skirts i'd have some minor sympathy, i hate that too, but in what reality is doing the tight, ass-hugging spats/cute boyshorts thing that devs like mihoyo do instead the end of the world you f‎u‎c‎k‎in‎g goons. if you can't still get off to the characters you are weak with zero creativity and will not survive the winter. you know what i did when, denied panty shots in genshin & star rail, meaning mihoyo turned to other forms of fanservice like showing off backs, armpits, feet, or, yes, even the tight bike shorts you hate so much despite so lovingly hugging your favorite character's ass? i developed back / armpits / feet / tight clothing fetishes. improvise. adapt. overcome. there's plenty to coom to all around you. fu‎c‎king coward babies i swear to god

final note: it's not like nexus/gamebanana won't have mods for this within the first week anyway. literally everyone can have their cake and eat it out too

Slay Queen!
