Definitely a topic worth discussion still. I very much want to see change. There's a lot of reason it should be reverted to how it was. I will say the Slave series change was a reasonable enough thing to change (though a bit strange that they would do it so suddenly), but it's probably for the best. Things like that and the weapon "illegal negro", among other weird things I'm sure, are fine to change.
The height thing though, the removal of scenes (all characters involved in the removed scenes were 18), items like smart inner? Not okay. I especially hope things like the "luster" slider which was curiously omitted from the NGS Global trailer (it was shown in JP, but not Global's), despite being mentioned on the Global PSO2 site in text, isn't a tell of things to come.
I would say it's worth keeping a watchful eye on this page to see if it changes : https://pso2.com/news/announcements/pso2ngsannouncement
This is the original text, for context.

Trailer at specific times for comparison:

NA at the start of character creation's section: https://youtu.be/WqI_2oXa0cE?t=71
To those who don't think this is important or don't care about censorship, consider the precedent of it all; it's not the one small thing we're bothered by. It's the steady cycle of small things being changed or removed that's upsetting. It will likely one day hurt something you care about as well, if left alone.
