Not only is it completely optional, IT'S. NOT. REAL.

Xenoblade CX: West release details for DLC and Lin
- Thread starter Aostia

Care to explain or just laugh it off with a hit and run post? There are some spoilers that would make this point sorta moot but that is kinda like spoiling a huge part of the game.
you think that young girls at the beach wear what they were because their fathers pick it out or because they want to be objectified by older men? they have a choice in what they wear. this is about titillating an easy, niche market.
people discuss "not real" things all of the time. kind of the point of a discussion board around video games...
added! thx!

This is something I don't give a shit about. I expected even older just based on Bravely Default.
What I am worried about with the localization is if the main themes of the game are going to be tampered with and if any religious imagery or words will be cut out for our Puritanical NA. The BLADE acronym already took a hit and I don't have faith that NoA or 8-4 won't try and "clean it up" for a Western audience.
Also, they'll probably add some "dank maymays" which I always find to be ine of the laziest ways of localizing anything. It is if you didn't have faith in your own staff to write something in-universe so you resort to making the game non-evergreen by pulling some shit off the internet.

Just a heads up, I don't think that would hold up in court.
i primarily play japanese games. the only reason i'm in this thread is because i'm buying this game lmao

Sexualizing underage girls doesn't seem to be terribly common in western games.
Anyway, as someone who plays a lot of Japanese games I've come to expect shit like this to be included sometimes, so I'm annoyed but it won't stop me from enjoying the rest of the game.
I didn't realize equipping fictional characters with swimsuits was a felony.
no but it sure is creepy as shit.

Yeah, if they were conceived and designed as a character to be a child, and then sexualised to be erotic to an adult audience, I find that super fucked up and totally unacceptable.
I'm not even going to get into debating how much a fictional child's body looks like real world children, because that's just all kinds of fucked up.
Fuck it, I'm out. I don't expect this kind of peadophilic imagery from Nintendo games, and I don't want to own a game where a potentially sexualised 13/15 year old is even an option, and that gets defended by other players.
I was already on the fence with this game, but people actually defending this is just too bloody creepy for me. Saves me £30 at least.

Does Lin breathe through her skin too?
Fictional characters that basically have the body of a random 18 year old. Not to mention it's not a costume that's specifically made for her, it's a generic female swimsuit in the game. Don't give it to her if you think it's wrong. If it would be a PC game, there would be nude mods. Fortunately no one is forcing you to use those.
I just hope they don't censor anything, would be nothing but an unnecessary annoyance. Not to mention that censorship is a terrible thing 99 % the times anyway; if I like to role-play and explore water areas for a while, allow me to give my characters swimsuits.

As far as I know the costumes for Lin aren't just for Lin. The outfits scale to fit any character, with probably the only difference being male or female clothes. The game doesn't give you these outfits specifically to inappropriately dress the underage girl. That is up to the player. The jump in age is a very welcome change though, as little as it is.
Anyway, yay for extra content without having to pay more.

Unlike the original xenoblade, in which each character had a set of specific outfits unique to them no matter what the armor was, X cpu scales any outfit to fit any character....
Which means you can put some seriously creepo shit on an already porcelain doll looking creepy character.... Thats like, 12.
Don't worry, her default outfit it's not trash and you can put ha in the best armor anyway...

Is there DLC to change Lin's face to something that doesn't look like a reject from 5 Nights at Freddy's
Always interesting to me how some people get so up in arms about stuff like this, and then actively seem to either rally or convince or degrade someone else who doesn't get up in arms.
It's a fictional character that doesn't even look her supposed age. It's a totally optional thing that you can never see if you chose not to. And, as someone else said, I mean...teens do wear swimsuits and all. All the internet warrioring is wasted on this one.

You can wear whatever you want.

If you don't want your Xeno characters sexualized then don't put them in the corresponding gear/outfit.
Problem solved.
Not really seeing the problem here.

So they changed her age instead of censoring the ridiculous and tasteless pedobait outfits?
Lol. I truly hope this game bombs in the west.
The very fact the outfits exist in the game IS the problem.

I don't care about your other point but what about that costume is "pedobait"?
for all we know they (hopefully imo) have altered the bikini outfits too, but we wouldn't know that til the game is out
Hopefully there will be some costumes that will disguise Lyn for our more sensitive players. The R. Mika burka edits comes to mind.
Everyone is just tired of this complaint by now. She is supposed to look somewhat stupid. And everyone was cool with Sunny looking like a robot granny.
Can't think of many good looking kids in games.

Only if you find them sexually appealing is it creepy. Pretty easy not to see it that way.
If there is a beach resort where the cast takes some down time and they were all wearing uniforms instead of swimware that'd be jarring.So they changed her age instead of censoring the ridiculous and tasteless pedobait outfits?

You have a problem with it. I don't.
Besides I like my armor like I like my music. Heavy and metal.
Ok so what's the big deal then ?
Just don't make her wear dresses that make her look like half naked.

Yeah, don't see the problem with a fictional, stupid looking anime girl with the curves of an adult woman wearing a generic swimsuit every girl in the game can wear either.
I see a problem in shifting options away from players in games, though.

more like if theres any cut content, its why i havent bought SMT devil survivor 2 record break on the 3ds (until it gets price reduction below $30) because of cut content.(and that absurd price they asked when there was cut content)

Didn't they confirm during/after PAX there would be no cut content?

Not sure, I havent really paid attention except accidentally getting a major spoiler told to me, been on a semi media blackout.
In regards to what? I know xenoblade is adding free content, i was replying with the "I hope there isnt censored content", I'm in the "I hope there isnt anything cut from the game" incase there is gambling and we have to get rid of it due to some country in europe having an issue with it spiel . If you mean devil survivor 2... well i'm still pissed they couldnt get the Durarara scenario in yet sega was able to get the exact characters in a mediocre niche fighter.

huh what's the cut content? unless you mean drrr characters.... good luck in getting license easily for that
I was joking, saying that in a real life case, if that was someone's defense, it wouldn't hold up.
