breast customisation ... for the 13 year old

Not quite...the 13 year old I mentioned you can't customise her body.
You might be able to make an equally-young-looking avatar though and give her huge breasts though. I dunno.

@pierre: Sure the boob slider thing I guess would have been okay, at least for me, if I was wanting to make a female character, say from another game or if you're a female and you wanted to make a somewhat accurate avatar that represents you.
Really though, taking it out doesn't bug me at all. As long as the censorship isn't affecting the game play and story, I could care less. This censorship is really nothing compared to, say, FF4 (which they called FF2) on the SNES where they took out abilities, changed some of the dialogue, which both affected the core gameplay, strategies, mechanics, and story of the game. XCX isn't doing any of that.
And in my opinion, I can bet ya no one would have been upset about the exclusion of a breast slider if there wasn't one in the Japanese version to begin with. It's just the internet and people just want something to complain about even if it's nothing worth complaining about.
And as for removing the risque outfit from the 13 year old girl, I'm glad. Don't wanna feel like a sick pedophile. D= If anything though, if I had to force a complaint about this, is that they made the new outfit a little generic looking. But really, it's no big deal.
I did joke with some people though saying that taking away the boob slider made the game more gender equal. As in, why do women get an option to change something on their bodies and not men? XD

Well I dunno...the thing that bothers me most is something that was pointed out to me. The use of the term censorship. It's a bit light for censorship right? I was under the impression censorship was government enforced and this is in no way close to it. People complaining about this so heavily might make light of real actual censorship occurring in the world.
It's not censored it's just a marketing decision in my eyes. It conforms to cultural values over here, it's no more censorship than translating a game to English.

Just because something is an option in a game, doesn't mean you have to use it.
Xillia 2 involves No Jacket outfits, which make Muzét and Milla look very stripperiffic. Do I use those costumes? No, but I still unlocked them over the course of doing things in the game. It's like people whining about the more revealing outfits in Lightning Returns: Yes, they are there. No, you are not forced to use them, so why would it make you feel weird for having them, regardless of the character's age?Quote:

Dwah? Cultural values? What, 13 years old can't have breasts in the West? Or revealing clothes? On the topic of translating... uh... yeah, that always had issues in it...

My only concern about the lack of breast customization is that the standard breast size will be too big. It's not exactly a secret that fanservice bugs me, and considering what the average breast size for female characters (Nopon notwithstanding) was in Xenoblade Chronicles, I can't help but worry that the female version of the player character will resemble Sharla in a way that I'd rather she not. Then again, I'm not really in a position to raise a stink about it, considering that my character is almost always male when I have the option to choose my character's gender.

Sharla may have gotten tons of sexy outfits, but only Dunban got a buff for wearing nothing at all!

Oh yeah Quiet is a massive pain when it cones to fanservice. Every cutscene with her plays this up horribly as well.

Well Xenoblade X has "fashion" slots. Where armour can appear to be something else so the game has you covered for that. Can always stick them in a T-shirt if your current armour looks immodest.

Not what I'm saying. Sure they can but its not seen as culturally appropriate to have sexualised young characters in our media in the west. It might deter potential customers.
They also boosted her age to 15 for all the difference it makes.

See, if I may stay with my Lightning Returns example: Majority of the outfits are pretty modest. Asymmetrical in a way that I personally do not find them pretty (I liked the asymmetrical designs in X-2 more, actually), but modest is the main one. The really revealing ones (like Nightmare, Amazoness) they are only obtained semi-late to very-late in the game and, I'll be honest, they don't seem all that good.
And the Miqote outfit, well, it's okay. It's semi-revealing (though no more than most other mini-skirt outfits on any type of characters) and has a very good ability, so it is helpful for the first playthrough, maybe the second. But aside from that ability, it's not all that great - there are better garbs out there.
Though, the thing with LR is, A) majority of the outfits are decent, anyway, you aren't restricted to "this, that and that garb" because those are just much better than others (like X-2, with the Dark Knight one) and B) the higher your parameters, the less it matters what garb you use. If one were to go by 'best' garb, it would be the XIII or XIII-2 outfit, because they come with no abilities, so they are perfectly customizeable and can be made super-strong, with the right abilities.

Am I the only person who has family/friends who don't care what's going on in my game? My mother doesn't care about what I play and when she picked me up from the anime DVD aisle once, she said 'that lady needs to put clothes on'. I told her 'Mom, it's anime. Every woman is half-naked, you need to be way more specific'. I mean, I can understand feeling a bit uncomfortable, if she were to walk in when this is happening in Xillia 2 (TSFW?) but if it's just an outfit... meh.

...depends. I have seen kids younger than 13 in clothes that I think were a little too 'old' for them. I have not seen them being arrested for walking in the streets that way. People who complain about 'sexualized' kids in media need to go walk the streets more.

Quiet's a bit of a ... special case (most likely NSFW).

I'm not against fanservice as a general rule, I'd just prefer it's reasonable, or that it doesn't otherwise detract from the story. Quiet is neither, especially since her in-story
Note that I don't have as much of a problem with Eva in Metal Gear Solid 3. Yes, she's meant to be fanservice-y. But in her case, that's actually the point.

Yeah with Eva, her entire backstory was as a seductive spy, meant to charm people professionally.

I have yet to play Metal Gear Solid V (or any game in the series, for that matter), but just from what I've read about Quiet, Mr. Kojima's alleged plan to make players regret ogling her didn't work. At best, he really had planned Quiet's character around this problem of hers and just underestimated the players' capacity to ignore all that in favor of her sex appeal. At worst, he planned on making Quiet a fanservice character all along and threw in her condition as a means of dismissing claims that she was supposed to play that role. I really hope it was the former and Mr. Kojima didn't plan on Quiet being a fanservice character, but that video sumguy28 linked to makes it difficult for me to believe that that was the case.
As a side-note, the Metal Gear Wiki says "Тихий" was one of her aliases in Russian. "Тихий" is masculine. The correct word would be "Тихая."

From a bit of digging on /r/metalgearsolid, people either dislike Quiet entirely, like her character from simply what they're shown and told, or examine what they think are subtleties in the game that show the true depths to her character. Most of them are in the first and third groups, while I'm in the "meh" group.

Same. If it's a little something here and there, like a little nod to the observer, fine. But there needs to be at least some reason for it - if a pretty woman is suddenly thrust into a revealing outfit or a ballroom gown, I'd prefer there to be a reason WHY that is happening, rather than just "Shut up and look!"

Could we please stop altering the localized games for silly reasons? I know that Japan is very different and it is weird to us westerners to call some 'Ms Milla' and that being on first name basis is a huge deal over there. But they could alter how Jude refers to Alt Milla by... always using her full name. (Hey, if Franziska can do it, why not he? And it would also give Alt Milla a reason for being snotty with him, because, as AA even says, calling someone by their full name is pretty annoying after some time.)
Or changing motivations. Why change Gaius wanting to destroy Elympios, period, to wanting to destroy Elympios' technology? To make him more sympathetic? Look, localization team... it's not your job to alter the characters or their interpretations. It's your job to translate and make it playable on other consoles. Majority of Tales Of villains are made sympathetic to begin with, they don't need an extra help there.
I know it's difficult to translate things - with the rule of "as close as possible, but also as free as possible" - but this just seems silly.
In German-speaking countries, Jude's name was altered to "Jyde" because in German Jude translates to "Jew".
...huh. Okay. I was wondering why the PSN called him Jyde.
C-A
PS: Xillia arrived. WOOT! Now I get to see what Jude REALLY controls like.

Haha. I could get hair DLC. But I am wondering if I should use 10€ to get 1000 Yen and get the Idolm@ster outfits. I use them in Xillia 2 and they are cute. (Also, Takane and Hibiki are two of my preferred idols) Though the Japanese PSN also has Stardreamer outfits...

Sell everything (but the black feathers) but only when they get the points bonus.

Megaman Zero Collection, buy or no? I played the first game years ago and remember it being decent but grindy as hell though I've heard the sequels are better?

okay maybe worst is a bit of an overstatement but it takes a special kind of stupid to localize the second game in a series that depends ENTIRELY on playing the first game to make any sort of sense at all out of the story and characters, and then decide not to localize the first game because the second game didn't sell very well
Which game?
EDIT: Our D&D group has also found the winning strategy: talk to everything you're supposed to kill and kill everything you're supposed to talk to.

I don't even know why I'm suddenly interested in going back to that series after like 10 years

Our strategy seems to be "throw the barbarian at it." He crits like 70% of the time and halves all damage while enraged. There's been many jokes about why we didn't all just go as a party of Barbarians. Though we've had so many near TPKs and a few actual by this point.
Last fight I was ganked so hard I had Baldurs gate flashbacks. Party is consideribg cannibalising a sentient (dead) creature. My dude is like "nope" and leaves thsm to it. Walks right into the boss and her goons. Is stunned and beaten down under a hail of blows before I even get a turn xP

wat, how. we have a barbarian and she deals amazing melee damage but it's more from just raw numbers than crits.
Also I ended up doing a lot of work in today's session, just because we ended up with a lot of ranged battles and I'm our only effective range character. I also rolled amazing on initiative (my lowest initiative roll of the session was 16), so I always got one more round than the enemies.
I'm not sure how I feel about the level up I got this session, either. Next level-up (6) I get tonsssss of stuff, because pretty much all of my abilities and skills are based on level/2 or level/3. This level-up, I got only one thing... but it's basically the ability to create shadow games. Not sure if worth or not. (Guess we'll find out next session.)

Is your Barbarian attacking recklessly (the mechanic I mean). Our barb gets advantage on all his rolls so its only natural he crits more often. That and dumb luck.
My last level (4) put my cleric on Wis 20 which I'm quite happy about. Though the barbarian seems determined to eat up all my healing spells by attacking recklessly (as a character trait) into things that will one day get the party killed.

I try to make sure to only sell the things that get 2.0 bonus for each area. Though I am paranoid that I might be missing out on equipment I should have at this point, but don't because the rather rare item spots don't give me the 'right' stuff. If I have extra of something, I try to get to the next level with just 1.0 bonus.
Though, I just exited Nia Khera, how slow is this game? When is something gonna happen again? Namco, you can't just throw me into the middle of action at the beginning and then make me spend the next hour just walking through the highroads and towns. I'd prefer the 'long, slow tutorial-esque world-establishing prologues' from the previous games. (Yeah, Symphonia had that utterly pointless attack on Iselia, but at least something happened before I was kidnapped by the Renegades as my next big thing)
Also, still debating: Idolm@ster outfits or Stardriver? ...I'm contemplating the Stardriver one for Elize. Green hair... OmG, I am now distracted by Rowen's thong...
Overall Xillia DLC... you know, giving Jude a costume for Cless looks stupid. Oh, and Leon, too. Yes, they look similar, but it just looks dumb to see Leon suddenly punch someone, instead of using a sword. (Ditto Cless)
Though, honestly, Xillia is so slow... I actually went back to Xillia 2 and went through Chapter 11, though I didn't really want to. Chapter 10 and 11 are obnoxious in that game.
Bakura wants to meet Maxwell Milla, huh? Well, here you go. Wearing a pink eyepatch and dog muzzle. "Every inch as proud as I would expect from Maxwell." Yes. A dog muzzle reeks of pride.

Although I agree the Megaman Zero games get better after the first one I still really enjoyed the first game immensely, but that might be the nostalgia speaking. Just to add my 2 cents: Definitely get the Zero collection, but keep in mind these games are pretty difficult. It's not a game for casual players, especially if you don't look up strategies that cause 'Spark Mandrill syndrome'. (Which I didn't, so maybe this is another case where I remember it being more hard than it actually is)
Face your emptiness don't be afraid. The danger is often smaller than your fear.

Wait for the 3.0 bonuses.

Blegh. I don't want to be forced to go through the game with sub-par equipment cause the better bonus won't appear. (Then again, I wanna wait and get some PSN Income, before proceeding)
