@BloodyKyona said in Why are "trap" characters considered okay?:

@Matt True, I don't have problems with the "look". It's using offensive words and stereotypes I don't like. I'm a lesbian (which btw is also censored in game, making the game MORE anti-LGBT), and face hate from my other lesbians (who are TERFs) because I accept trans-women as women, so having to deal with such bigotry in-game makes it all the harder, especially when friends quit because of it. I dunno what can be done about it. Maybe censor the word "trap" seeing as there are plenty of other innocent words censored already. Maybe I just wish the community itself would make a stand and not be anti-trans; I was banned from the PSO2 Discord over fighting with them about this very topic and declaring that "trap" is no different than the N word (except I spoke both words completely and got banned for hate speech). It's disgusting and it makes the game less fun for me to deal with such bigotry. Bad enough this is a major problem in the United States, but it's in my gaming now as well. People say "don't bring politics into the game", but that isn't possible with stuff like this around. They brought politics in first, after all. Maybe I just wish the PSO2 community wouldn't be so rotten overall.

EDIT: Speaking of which, I am DEMANDING, not asking, that lesbian be removed from censorhip in this game. You've no right to do this, Sega. You are hating on and marginalizing the LGBT with this crap. Otherwise, does anyone know how to mod the game files to get rid of censorship?

I remember When Phantasy Star didn't have this Political crap to begin with.

We can create literally anything we want, both gender and race in NGS, but we can't create a character with originally intended height on PSO 2. What happens when our mutants log on PSO 2 after character creation?

We explode into a lovecraftian mess maybe

O.O

Um....Yeahhhhh that's a pretty good question.....

@KOSMOSFAN22497 There is a shop that sells various versions of the starter Outfits in the Shopping Plaza, some can be acqired through Mission Pass with a Gold ticket purchased with SG and some in the Mission Badge Swap Shop. Other Outfits and all Layering Wear come from AC Scratches, you either play the Scratch or buy them from Player Shops.

Thanks For that I'll be sure to check out the shops and save SG.

@KOSMOSFAN22497 What kind, are you asking about Outfits and Layering Wear?

Yes.

How does one earn Costumes?

Here’s hoping. They’ve already pleasantly surprised me with the bunny suit so we’ll see.

That was real nice?

@KOSMOSFAN22497 Because in that particular collaboration Kirito and Asuna log into the game "PSO2" and are confused as they browse through the Shopping Area without a tutorial. The player (and Matoi) were going out for lunch together before being greeted by these new "players" of the game who hint at their previous lives on Earth and Episode 4 already covering this to a degree (Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation and Episode 4 largely deals with the "meta" world of people of Earth playing a game called "Phantasy Star Online 2") brings many familiar story elements back.

As a goofy sort of reward there is a special title that disables in-game functionality (Video Spoiler here) as a result of completing this collaboration.

Also to note, all the cosmetics related to the Sword Art Online are obtained for free by completing the client orders and the newly added story (which is in its own menu on the Quest Counter).

Interesting.

@VanillaLucia Why would SAO make callbacks to Episode 4 of all things?

@Anarchy-Marine

Those translators had to keep up with multiple people talking but man some of that was funny like “oh wow that looks so cool” while said like someone hasn’t had their coffee yet. Good stuff.

I would really like to watch missing scenes, too. Not that scene because I frankly want to chuck Kohri off a cliff but everything else. I like the story and I need all the lore I’m missing!
