Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Was about to install Lost Ark again, then I see the new login screen and it's a censored version of a Gunslinger skin.
You can quite literally see the original skin clip through it because they've just painted the entire body from neck down to cover all skin rofl.
It's basically a leotard bottom with thigh-high stockings and some cleavage, in the censored version you can see the leotard bottom and stockings clip on top of the '' pants '' they edited in and the chest area is very clearly and awkwardly painted over.

The most frustrating thing too is that there even is a version of the skin with pants that they've used before in the marketing and is in the armor preview AND in the store currently.
But instead they decide that it'd be a good idea to take the more revealing version and go out of their way to lazily censor it and just apply a black bodysuit texture to the model they use.
I have no idea how AGS can be so totally incompetent and tone deaf, after all the anger about this they still do it.
Like it's actually just stupid and so unnecessary if they had a problem for some reason with the original as a login screen then USE ANOTHER VERSION OF IT OR ANOTHER SKIN ENTIRELY OMFG WHY DOES THIS NEED TO BE EXPLAINED TO THEM?

I am just at a total loss for words, like I know it doesn't matter to some people but it really puts me off and makes me distrust their handling of the game.
Just so tired of it, holy hell can't have anything fun ever with Western devs I hate how stuff I like has to be a constant source of headaches.


Ugh...
Think imma go and finally play the FF7 Remake instead...
It actually looks really really good imo, I never played the original tho I am not actually a FF fan or anything.
Only FF game I've played before FFXIV was FF Lightning Returns xD.
I think I just didn't find the gameplay appealing when I was younger but nowadays I really enjoy that type of gameplay.

Just a fair warning - the FF7 ReMakester is great!! But Nomura has taken liberty with the story, and it is not a 1:1 redo of the original FF7 story. I had a friend get upset because they had people marketting it to them as a way to experience the FF7 story in fresh hi-def graphics, only to realize it isn't the same exact story as the original.

Still very worth it, but just be forewarned about that!
