Unless it's just bugged for me.

The toggle censorship probably wouldn't be difficult to implement, but I just don't see Sega doing so. No $ in doing so. EVERY suggestion on this forum that Sega actual took was either about $ or covering their butts (feel free to correct me, but nothing other than that is ringing a bell).

If the censorship was not in game or was in game from the get go, most of the population wouldn't care either way. Having it or not having it would barely if at all affect the player base numbers. I'm probably going to stop playing pso2 or go back to JP pso2 when NGS releases if these height restrictions/cut scenes/censored scenes aren't undone. I've been paying premium for months and months. Supporting a game that has censorship bothers me (and skipped over content doesn't help, but that belongs in another topic) and I will vote with my wallet by not spending anything in the new game to let them know it's not acceptable.

To @RainGnyu I remember reading you are a PSO fan. I am a massive PSO /Phantasy Star fan myself (whom Sega continuously disappoints). Doesn't PSO allow you to make short characters? (it does). The official art even has short characters. Why do you have a problem with that on PSO2? No one is forcing you to go up to a character in first person to view them. No one is forcing you to watch a bath scene, they are skip able. Do you have a problem with symbol art? That made it into pso2 from pso. Symbol art is more problematic than anything, but that made it into our version. Do you want symbol art removed? Anyway as a PSO fan, I just want the game to be what it was intended to be, the best it can be. Not watered down. I'm sure everyone in this topic at least wants the game to be the best it can be (including you). PS PLEASE stop saying indoctrination. There is no indoctrination, just people with their options which they have a right to express. Have a nice day! ^^/

Remember the censorship is not to protect you, not the player, not to protect children, not to protect morals, but to protect Sega or maybe even Microsoft or ESTsoft (from what I don't know). We don't actually know for a fact who decides why we have censorship in the first place. It may not protect you, but it sure limits what you can do.

They returned!!!!

It not me and NGS is going to be kid friendly I am sure of that. I would not be surprised if they change the rating system to reflect that.

You heard it from me first!

To NGS going to be "kid friendly", it will be as "kid friendly" as pso2 is now. NGS is literally part of pso2. A game within a game. NGS could have only E rated things in it, but since it's accessed in pso2 which is rated M, it would still have to be rated M.

Hm, does NGS even need a rating since it's part of pso2 with pso2 covering it?

@GM-Deynger Any word.......?

Says they are supposed to be given immediately when you complete the requirements.

Bump. Still not working.

The removed bath scenes are actually dubbed though in our game client and can be played in english on the japanese version. They should be here as well.

They should not. Those scenes are essentially making sexual harrassment a joke. They are embarrassing and should have been removed (which they have been). They shouldn't exist on the Japanese servers either, but it's more """acceptable""" there.

It's a very common trope in Japanaese media and is something they really need to grow out of. Just because it exists doesn't mean it's acceptable; the game being rated M doesn't excuse this either.

Wow, the first argument I consider valid for something censored here (that' I've seen, there could be more I missed). It's true sexual harassment is bad, but I still feel these scenes have the right to exist even if they are offensive. I found them entertaining, and some others do as well (well the later bath scenes, I forgot what happened in the first one). I don't take many things seriously which is why these scenes don't bother me. I haven't put a great deal of thought with what the characters actually do in these scenes. They are fictional anime characters doing fictional anime things. For example The Boondocks is very offensive (though well more thought out than pso2). I enjoy that show, and many others do and I don't think that makes those who enjoy it makes them/me bad people.

@Milk I didn't think much of the scene in jp when it comes to offensiveness when it was released there, and I feel the same now. I really just want the same game jp has.

Any luck on this guys? Even after maintenance it looks like it's still bugged.

@LyssaDhrak this is clearly a post to artificially inflate the prices of grand capsules and sell the ones he has.

Sounds about right. The only way we are never getting grand affixes again is if the NA server's permanently shut down before next dudu support week. With NGS coming and being part of the PSO2 game client that's... not happening. We'll probably get another support scratch week in 2-3 months or something, maybe whenever Luster is to be released. Ep4 lasted... 2 months ending with a dudu week, ep5 lasted... 2 months ending with a dudu week, and I'll take a gamble that episode 6 part 1 will last... 2 months at most and end with a dudu week.
