…Sorry, but the mouth corporate speak was in regards to Tales of Arise, Tekken, and Scarlet Nexus.

Scarlet Nexus has VERY conservative character designs, but if you look at its artbook, you’ll actually find they were supposed to be (only a little, but still) less covered up. They changed the characters for Western (American) standards.

No bikini costumes for the newest woman character in Tekken, that’s a huge red flag given some interviews with Harada in contrast to their absence.

Arise is a huge can of worms, lots of info about how it was made for Westerners. I consider it a WRPG, and didn’t buy it because of how soulless it looked compared to the past entries. Taking inspiration from Life is Strange, the typical “slavery bad” plot you see to pander to Westerners, a dumbed-down combat system, and the cherry on top: censorship. The collaboration costumes are all censored compared to their original counterparts, and I’ve never seen the other alternate costumes you can unlock be this tame before in the series. Arise was a huge (but sad) pass for me.
