Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Joven]

What on earth happened again with this thread, come on guys....I thought we fixed some issues by now.

Nah, this thread was boinked from the beginning, there really wasn't anything TO fix.

Honestly speaking, and this is a one time only thing because I'm not getting fully involved into this nonsense. But, costumes or clothing in JRPG's, even MMO's based on other religions or cultures is not a new trend, however, that does not nor has it ever meant that the game or lore itself supports those religions or cultures. Sure, we can say that the creators were inspired and drew ideas and inspiration to put into the design, but that doesn't mean that they have to make it canon or even explain why it's in there nor explain why they even thought about it.

Aurica from Ar Tonelico has two Cosmosphere costumes that are clearly based on the angel/devil concepts of Christianity. These are legit things in the game that you will be wearing because they offer different HP, stat values, and bonuses until you get the lvl 8 Cosmosphere costume.

This does not mean that the world and lore of Ar Tonelico supports a religion based on Christianity or that the costumes represent said religion, nor does the creator need to explain it. There's no such thing as a legit heaven or hell or legit angels and demons in the world. Most people worship the Sol Ciel's tower administrator, Shurelia, while they fear the mother of all viruses and hater of humans, Mir. There's only three kinds of people in the world: humans, viruses, and Revyateils.....four if you count monsters.

Somebody is really triggered in this thread.

Passive-aggressively insinuating others as being less intelligent...yeesh, I wonder who that might be!

It is a video game not a political statement, no hidden agenda the character creator sucks, and they design certain things simply for aesthetic reasons that is all.

Didn't you know? Everything has to be a political statement with hidden agendas

Seems like it, wish they could a tad more consistent at the very least. Why is with only about race and gender, what about the those that demand more more body hair options. We have zero representation in this game.

You know Tattoos would be nice.

Can someone tell me definitively why PoC having representation in this game is a bad idea?

Nothing wrong with representation, but things get murky when people claim lack of representation is due to malicious intent. More customization options is never a bad thing, but how the suggestion was framed made it seem like their had a different motive. I mean the game simply has sub-par customization options and a dated character creator, that is all SE is not trying to push an agenda and cater to a certain group with their character creator, as many said it just a crappy and dated character creator.
