I'm all for clever localization but please don't just leave out important story.

I draw the line at the altering of character depiction, and have just as much problem with Midgardsormr as I do the Ishgardian House Lord residing in Fort Dragonhead. (If you did not know, other game versions depict him as a pervert.)

... you really can't see why the English localization decided to tone down a character who sexually harasses the PC?

You can? the character is that way, the game has an age rating so it's valid and legal, you may like him or not, you may be gay or straight, but a work of art can't be changed by ideals or cultural differences, not in this age, it has been done in the past and because of it the world have lost important pieces, i made a reference of how the catholic scribes back in the middle ages "localized" some Asian texts.


EDIT:

I'm sorry Enkrateia, will keep it civil form now and try to avoid repeating information.

To avoid making a new post and repeating myself i edited this post, could you refer to one of my previous post where i explain the method used by the dev team? explained by Yoshi in one of the public events.

Seeming the same NPC is allowed to sexually harass the character during the last Heavensturn event, yes, I question the two-toned logic in that.

The Heavensturn event completely threw the NA crowd off guard with no understanding why until they educated themselves to the point that hey, that's how the character ACTUALLY was, it just got censored before that point.

Listen, I get the concept of trying to shield the eyes of people from hot button topics, but I've been over that already: this game has a Teen Rating with the typical Online disclaimer: We don't need to treat these subject matters with kid gloves - especially when we do it inconsistently.
