@Lorelei-Moira glowing brown is kind if hard/impossible. Brown is literally a dark/dull orange, so making it glow would make it look orange. https://youtu.be/wh4aWZRtTwU

Shiny leather/wood/skin is due to the wax/oils on them reflecting white light. There is no such thing as brown light in the rainbow.

@Cathy said in Talis - Is it a decent option?:

And yeah you can be lazy with Force and just play Rod only if that is more fun to you but that doesn't make for a good advice. It's not very beneficial for the community.

hmm, your optimizing for when you're sharpest. I would prefer to optimize for when I'm the dumbest. You are kind of god tier, from my understanding. Some of us are mere mortals xD

While I can use tails effectively for ~30 minutes to 1 hour, after that my brain is generally so burnt that it becomes a liability. I prefer being the one that revives my party after a near wipe as opposed to worrying about dps numbers so much. I'm guessing tails is ~7.5% damage increase.

@Cathy hmm, your optimizing for when you're sharpest. I would prefer to optimize for when I'm the dumbest.

Rod is pretty much better, because after ~2 hours of gameplay I can't bother using the extra brain power needed to take advantage of tails. For me tails just gets me killed more.

Tails is definitely better for utility and speed though.

@ZeeHero9271 said in Can we not cut out anymore story scenes and stop it with censorship in general.:

There's a very good reason why men and women have seperate bathroom areas and it is NOT anything to be protested or changed. it is part of decent civilization, respect for the differences between men and women while recognizing we are both people in the same way.

I used to live in North Carolina. So I spent a decent amount of time looking this up. Generally speak speaking separate restrooms were mandated when women started entering the work force. This cultural norm was established when the population thought women needed protecting from "everything"(1) included many women only spaces such as reading areas.

I'm not looking to argue about this, just wanted to include further reading, since this is recently coming into question.

@Meow2835 I think it is fine to have suggestions that are related to inclusivity. Though, true inclusivity requires talking to people that are left out(maybe hiring), identifying what factors actually make them left out, and doing a survey of the population to remove variability of individual responses.

It is important to understand that inclusivity isn't something that is achieved from the viewpoint of a single person. Just as any "righteous" talking point can easily be construed for the oppression of a group of people.

Voices from the groups that needed to be included are of course very important. I just wouldn't want to talk for a cultural group, unless I was actually citing sources(their voices).

@Anarchy-Marine said in A list of changes that I think PSO2 needs in order to be more inclusive and appropriate for more players.:

@Moei Your not the target audience if you can't accept that other players will be wearing those outfits that you detest, but you would be if you could accept that those players exist. That's really more on you, than It is the developer.

Hmm, I agree that the players exist, I have no problem interacting with such players, and like them as well. The players I have no problem whatsoever with. I am just not a fan of the design decision to add lewd outfits into the game from day 1.

If we were to take this out of players, let's just think of this in the form of a single player game. Assuming two games were exactly equal, except one had lewd outfits for female characters, I would buy the game with the least skimpy outfits. This is simply my preference.

When we play games, the rules and world are designed by the developers/designers. I am simply disagreeing with them, as this is simply not the game or experience "I" wanted.

Others opinions are completely valid, I just have my own. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm outnumbered by 100x out of current players.

@Anarchy-Marine and there are other games that allow for skimpy clothing, correct?

No, this is simply my preference on what I would have preferred to see in a game. Nothing more, nothing less. I simply disagree with the developers/designers decision, and therefore I'm not really their target audience.

@Anarchy-Marine sorry, I believe there is confusion again. For my comment on implementing it to the original game, I was referring to literally backtracking on a decision that was made so almost a decade ago. I would prefer it if they did this, for myself, but I also recognize this would literally kill the game. Ie, I would have preferred a fundamentally different design decision, which at it's core, means I simply wanted a different game.

I realized this boat sailed about a decade ago, and it is too late to actually change how they designed the game. I do want the developers to get feedback that not everyone likes the particularly design decisions though, so maybe this can be considered for future games.

There's also the overly adorable players, but those are unicorns. Rare, and fun to find.

This is what I want, but I also realize I'm rare. I want anything that will make the game pinker, fluffier, and look like a madoka magika basically.

@Anarchy-Marine I think they're is a bit of a misunderstanding. I'm not saying that I think the op's suggestions are all more inclusive, and I have no interest in most of the moral aspects. I simply would have preferred a game that did not pander to sex in such an overt way.

This was a design decision that was made a long time ago, and I don't think anything can be done about it at this point. I think this is more something that I would like addressed in future games or maybe in ngs as a toggle option or something.

I am stating that I'm not a fan of their original design decision. This is the one so aspect of the have I dislike the most even in the Japanese version.
