I've been here since 2009, trust me, I know how things work.

Statement was supposed to be comical - mostly.

Luckily money isn't an issue and AC scratch has been VERY well to me (three pink Kimonos so far, but damnit I want a green one!)

^Can someone explain who this clown is and why he has my signature?

Also, I stopped taking this thread seriously (again) when i saw the whole "THEY'RE KILLING WHAT MADE THIS SERIES GREAT HO MAH GAWD!" shit. Seriously? It's just an outfit. Grow the fuck up.

The mods must be loving this shit.

Meh they're just probably upset it closely resembles PSU since in PSO outfit changing was... yeah pick a different color! I'm just worried with future bank space with outfits and having to pay rent to get more bank space.

Do we get some bonus here for saying "mods ..." in a thread we don't like (I'm still kinda new)?

Oh, I like this thread fine. I think it's hilarious. It's just that usually the moderating staff locks threads like this when the fighting gets out-of-hand, which it has been since like...page 5 (rough estimate).

Ergo, they must be finding it somewhat amusing, considering it hasn't been halted as of yet. Simple.

When does the blog get updated again? Would love to know what regular outfits we get with the new AC scratch.

I'm sure next year there will be more bikinis. We'll get one ore more selections of bikinis every year from now.
It's like that in other games, too.

Amusing fact: Aion released not one, but three types of swimsuits within its first year. Also, like PSO2, they were released entirely through an RNG system, though unlike PSO2 it didn't use real-world currency.

I really don't know what it is with Eastern developers and their love of RNG...

Yeah, no, I don't believe this. If we define sexism as "preferential treatment for one sex" the sexism is definitely worse on this hemisphere. Female characters in the East get a lot more variety in how they are treated, which alone increases my respect meter. Again, Western female characters all trend along the exact same archetype, with minor modifications, while the males actually get to have some variety. That is definitely far, far worse than having the occasional fanservice.

Yeah, no, for the purposes of this thread I am only talking about the character creation, and using that as a basis they definitely seem considerably less racially biased than the western developers. Anything outside of that is beyond the consideration of this thread or my post, so why even bring it up?

Also, considering the Japanese are xenophobic to all foreigners, I really don't think calling them "racist" is topical anyways.

Yeah, sure, but it's a complete waste of time when the developer doesn't speak English and the complaints are directed entirely at other players, especially when there are developers that do speak English where this criticism is considerably better to level at. Even then, that's not really the issue here when the real issue is pervasive throughout society. The developers are just a reflection of what society breeds, after all.

I have the same problem with people who complain about prices and having to pay for services and things like that - if they hate capitalism so much, they should be working against that, not complaining about people trying to work the system to their advantage (since that is absolutely the most rational thing to be doing in a system that encourages exploitation in all its forms). Bigger picture, man.

[M3rror]

no. no. and hell no.

I usually don't get into stupid sexist arguments (because they're pointless and opinionated) but females have variety too you know, they're just overlooked because women know how to complain and men know how to ignore. The whole sexist argument is just like British Politics: it's all about who can yell louder and laugh/complain harder.

Anyways, what's with the deal with this thread? Since when did PSO2 try to go for realism? It's always been about the anime feel and fanservice, for both genders. Well, ever since PSO.

We should like whatever we want, as long as it doesn't physically hurt someone. Last time I checked, wearing a bikini in a game doesn't physically hurt someone. Well, it can unintentionally :P I won't get into that though. But seriously. So someone enjoys wearing a harmless bikini in a game and that makes it a problem? I won't get into that any further, this post is long enough and no one would care for my opinion anyways.

I will say this, I'm definitely looking forward to the bikini :3 I live in Florida so I see this kinda stuff every day, all year long. No joke. And hey, don't be bashing on mah wedding dress. It might not be fighter etiquette, but like I said before, this game isn't going for realism. I also just LOVE wedding dresses.

We do? I sure don't. But, then again, I rarely leave my housing. And I hate the beach.
