Xenoblade Chronicles X removes bust slider

[BurningDesire]

Nice try, but I don't know who you're trying to convince. Face it: you ARE ranting. You're just doing it in the news section. Just slapping a "here's a source" on it doesn't make it news, let alone relevant.

Let's not forget my friends. Rant's are usually in all caps I understand this is a touchy subject but it is why I posted it. I wanted your guy's opinions on it.

The news section is for news, but the original post certainly seemed to have a biased, rant-y vibe to me.

Anywhoo, I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I agree with Guild. *shudder* Unless the character's default bust size is distractingly huge, I can't think of a single valid reason for changing it in this type of setting. Whether you're making her boobs bigger (as would be most cases) or smaller (for you lolicons out there), you're doing it because you find it more attractive, and allowing you to do so would mean Nintendo (of America) validating the fact that you're sexualizing a 13 year old girl. This does absolutely nothing to negatively impact the game, and is even less valid of an excuse to boycott it than a lack of dual audio (which is already a silly enough reason as it is).

Sorry I guess I need to work on my tone. Maybe I should of used 1,000,000 happy face emotes.

I think the censorship is unnecessary. That said, it shouldn't affect your decision to buy it or enjoy the actual game.

Like I said in previous post I 100% agree with you.

 

[Bladexdsl]

peeps saying they are not buying the game because of no breast slider..it's just...just ridiculously stupid!

Nintendo censoring games for their Non-Japanese audience? I've never seen never seen that before.

I thought this meant some important offense thing. "Bust" made me think of Shulk's "Buster." She's underage, so I understand the censoring. It wouldn't be censoring though if it wasn't included in the first place, as it shouldn't. If she's at least 18, fucking Nintendo then. Whatever the case, I still want to play the game.

This explains why the game is "PEGI 12+" in Europe very disappointed but still hope the main game maintains the same. I'd also vouch for the creepy doll faces to me changed like @Joe88 mentioned. Still, this could be considered a sexist move because it only affects the female characters so said feature can be applied to male characters.

First Project Zero's censored and now this.

You people do realize the bust slider is for the main character customization, not for the 13-year old, right? That said I have no idea how old the main character is - do they even have a set age? I personally think it's a little silly to remove customization options, but eh, it's not like it matters that much.
Edit: Looked it up, main character (the only character that can be customized) has no set age.

Sarcasm aside, people just figured Nintendo in this day and age would have learned their lesson not to commit the same mistakes again.

That's cute, look at all the promises they made at E3 when they announced the Wii U. I love Nintendo, but they make some boldly stupid moves.

Uh... just want to point out that other countries *and companies* have censored things for various regions before. This isn't exactly a soly Nintendo thing.

Look at Resident Evil as an example.

 

[porkiewpyne]

This is one of those features where I think the vast majority, including me, would load the game, lol i can change the bust size, slides it all the way to big as possible, hahaha this is funny, resets everything to defaults and continues on and never thinks of it again.

I could not have said it any better.

When it comes to games with character customisation, I usually tinker around for 15 minutes and then forget about it. Like in Pokemon X & Y. When that feature was removed in ORAS, I was a little annoyed though it was just as shortlived.

 

[LightyKD]

Yeah but you shouldn't not buy it because of that. It doesn't effect the game play at all.

Fuck that! I'm tired of people using gameplay as an excuse!!!! Censorship is censorship. I was excited about this game and now this! Nintendo must really not want my money! Yeah, I'll just wait for a translated Japanese version.

I cant tell if your joking or being serious

No they're not.
And posting smileys everywhere won't make it funny.

I wasn't trying to be funny... I was trying to portray that I was not mad when saying that.

The thing is that you put a lot of your opinions into the first post. A bunch of what-if's, and general negativity. Next time, just stick to the facts in the OP, and give your own opinion on it later.

For me, I couldn't care less about it. I didn't even know there was a bust slider, and I never cared for bikini outfits in games like these. The only time I'd care for a bikini: beach volleyball, surfing or games like that.
In Japan, there's a completely different view on boobs and lolis and stuff, and if that doesn't get carried over here... good. If it doesn't add to anything I mean.
An Anime game: go all out with Japanese norms, but in a regular RPG, nah.

It would have been easier to change her age to 18 and call it a day. Either way IDC, the first Xenoblade was a borefest for me.
