Already said they're not doing it.

Already said they're not doing it.

For anyone who can't be bothered to find the quote, here it is. They're not adding alcohol, or if they eventually do, they can't explicitly label it as such.

nyis started a thread saying he wants to drink alcohol in game, and people also said they want drinking in game since they have bars and guilds etc. They do understand due to the rating it might not be possible to name it alcohol like Beer or w/e specific drinks so they were just saying maybe make names look alike etc.

こんにちは。
Hello,

本件、吉田Pと酒場で確認したい気持ちを抑えつつ、会議の合間を縫ってオフィスで確認してきました。
Wanted to talk to YoshiP about this at a bar, but instead talked to him during our meeting in the office.

結論からお伝えすると、皆さんの投稿の中にもあったようにレーティング上の問題で、お酒とハッキリと明示していある飲み物を飲むのは実現できない案件だそうです。
Like some said in here due to the rating we cannot name it directly as a alcohol and drink it.

各国のレーティングの基準には違いがあり、それらを網羅しようとするとどうしても……ということになってしまうとのこと。（酒場があったり、背景に酒瓶がお いてあったり、（未成年ではない限り）NPCが飲む、酔っ払っている、セリフ中に単語として登場する分には現在のレーティング上は問題ないそうです。）
Each country has difference in rating standards and looking at those it gets really hard. (Currently with ratings having barrels or bar or NPC drinking or being drunk or having a message related doesn't have a problem with ratings)


「『バッカスの酒』でバーサク状態になりたいんだけどねぇ……」と少し寂しそうに語る吉田Pが印象的でした。
YoshiP sadly said "I want to become berserk drinking [Bucchus's Wine]..."

Also the search function is really handy. Found this dev post just by searching for "alcohol".

So do we meet Sanguine at the pub for an engagement trip and something about a goat?

[Renshi]

It's awesome, because both your name and post are written as a drunk person would write =D
Nothing wrong about it, it's just funny, had to point that. Anyway, yeah, I've done an Oktoberfest thread (Use the Search Thread function) about it for an option of implementation.

[Frein]

Yes, because everyone knows people play MMOs to get drunk in a pub. Wait, what?

[ssppiikkeeyy]

lol but some gd times just really for party or something bring out a party room like in ffxi and they could do it in there where u rent out the room for anything and get wasted :0 you could use it for a linkshell friends birthday or something or just to party like it's 1999 and renshi i'm irish so i'm always drunk lol

since we already have plenty of cursing and sticking manhoods in the forge, would it be too much to ask to have actual ale and beer in the taverns?

would be nice for us to be able after a long party go to the pub and sit down have a beer and relax
