Japan M Rating, change West from T to M please

[Cidel]

I looked at a translation of the CERO website, and it looks like one of the factors for ratings is "Underwear exposure". So I assume they'd have to have added black shadows and strongly restricted the camera. Just guessing, though. Japan and East Asian countries take digital upskirts pretty seriously.

Well, seeing as players have all sorts of freedom to expose underwear simply by wearing something like 2B's bottoms and a high enough top/no top at all, then I guess the change was warranted, /gpose or not.

They've always explored plenty of mature themes, but they can be more overt about those things with a higher rating. I don't suspect much would change.

The idea we could properly romance the NPCs with this change is a neat suggestion, though.

Apparently it about gpose. They would rather raise the rating than place restrictions on what players can do with gpose. Nice.

NA, and EU ratings aren't changing according to translations as well.

So game companies don't set their ratings, while they do have some control over it via the content in the game, that's about as far as it goes. ESRB in the US controls what rating a game will get in the NA region.


I think it's best just to leave the game alone in terms of more graphical sexuality/violence. Perhaps go play TERA if you want more sexuality or violence (combat is pretty damn good too, or at least it was when I tried it out many years ago)

The age rating should change, for no other reason than to let me say "fuck" on chat when I want to.

You can swear as much as you like. It's just that the profanity filter is opt out rather than opt in. It's in your chat log options.

I'm sure people can also get pretty creative with emotes, so they may have had to restrict those as well.

They did, in a way. With the dungeon portraits - They force you to have your face in the image now because people couldn't stop putting cleavage/buttshots in them.

So in a manner, this is a change made solely because players cannot stop being degenerates.

You can say anything you want in chat now already? However, there's a risk, like it's the same as free speech in that anyone can say anything, but there's a risk it will be reported if there's excessive profanity for no reason or harassment.

I know you can just swear and I often do in closed chats, but like Cheshire themselves acknowledge, it is against ToS, I think that's stupid and shouldn't be there at all, if the chance for as much as a warning from me saying something innocuous like, I dunno, "I am real fucking tired", is greater than zero, I don't like that, and I really think it should be gone.

Also I want to make clear this isn't an attempt to say I should be allowed to say slurs, far from it, it's just, it's the internet, I feel there needs to a clarification about that unfortunately.

It changes from CERO C, which ist 15 and above, to CERO D, which is 17 and above.

Or just start the game as a female miqo'te and do something like walk. Flahsbanged instantly.

Inb4 a random person coming here to say they were banned for using profanity once ever, and I doubt that because you can report anyone, but the GM is the final person who decides who gets a warning or not. Also, I've never been reported before for just chatting in NN, shouts, town, LL, FC, and in all kinds of parties for different dungeons or trials.

It doesn't even take profanity to get banned. I've been banned for 10 days from here before for voicing an opinion that someone didn't like, and it contained zero profanity. You are correct, the GMs and their loosely written, vague-termed rules allow it to happen to any poster about any post that gets posted. Because it's a private company that can do what they want with this content.
