Breasts make the woman in the western world,how is this so hard to believe?
Actually, I think it's more the face, voice, and animations that make them look like children.
And to non-lore readers / avid anime fans (a.k.a 99% of the potential playerbase), if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... It's a duck.
So yeah. That's the reasoning behind the "modest little girls" look.
You're certainly right on that. But I can grantee detail will be added at some point before release.
But you're saying that "so the 'majority' can feel more at ease."
But the majority of what? Their target audience?
Like I said before concerning the castanics and other models. They're sexy, they show tons of skin, and have jiggling breasts. I think we can all identify who their target audience is.
And if En Masse can speculate so will I.
I would say they MAJORITY of this target audience would not care about the pantless Elin.
Would you?
Have you seen their ad? MMO-FO or something lame along those lines. Half naked teens or elves with large [filtered] would attract the -normal- 'merican teen/audience.
Pantsless Elin would attract the 'anime lovers' that they consider minority and would probably drive the aforementioned away.
Sp instead of censoring their clothes and ruining the pantless cuteness for everyone... would it not be easier to just make their breasts bigger to make them look "over 18"?
That would cause more hate from the lolicons.

I thought only a few of the cloth armors were censored for Elin? I know the quality of the "new" textures is poor but why is this such a big deal?
Because alot of people have this strange fiery obsession for loli pantsu and covering them up has caused whining of illogical proportions.
@Roda You really shouldn't pull out such obviously exaggerated statistics if you want to be taken seriously. Anime is popular in the US but not that popular. There's still a f*** ton of gamers who are obsessed with dark gritty ugly america f*** yeah and busty half naked aesthetics. Which is obviously a large part of EME's target audience.

About 30+ armors where changed. Mostly to cover the bellybuttons. Apparently Americans love bellybuttons and think it is extremely sexy.
In general it is a big deal because it is just all retarded. In action the new models look just like the old ones. Which means everyone upset with the original armors, are going to be upset with the new ones.
But if you look around the forums, that is not how it is. Because people seem to be either trolls or retards. They actually think censoring 1% of the thighs mean things go from sexy to normal clothes.
If I didn't care about principles or quality, I'd just run with the new models.
