Looks like Nintendo changed some outfits for Lin in Xenoblade X

I didn't care much either way. The outfits scale to fit characters, so some people might consider it unfortunate that you can also put the 13/15 year old in a skimpy bra. However, that choice is for the player since gear is only cosmetic (no stats attached, as far as I'm aware). Still, it's better that they did censor this just because of the outrage it has already caused. Now where is the Zelda costume, Nintendo?
Ok. Even though that post wasn't up yet when I was typing. I'm sure you feel so proud posting that though. I don't play the stupid "lol, talks got trolled game". Shit was played out years ago and never was funny. I'm not a damn child.
So a bit like The Last Story, which has one of the best armour systems I've seen?
This. Don't like either one.
Also wondering what the reason is for the messed up proportions on the left image, as many have already brought up.
I don't agree with this, however, as there were good designs in the original Xenoblade. I do believe that they dropped the ball with Xenoblade X, though.

That is much better.

Good, that was some creepy ass shit. The newer one is still a bit creepy, but is a vaguely more practical and seemingly in-character. Vaguely.

Good point. Still looks a bit weird, but localization never changes anything in terms of height proportions.

Seems like a no brainer-if she is supposed to be 13-16 years old
Yeah, that's probably it. She doesn't look right in the edited version, but it must be because of the shot itself.

Much better.
That other outfit is just plain creepy.

I get why baby americans cant handle going to the beach or something but I wish they put some actual effort into the localized censored outfit. It looks like shit.
The top is fine, but the bottom, come on. If the bikini outfit bottom is literally 'default shorts' then it's an annoyance and a problem.
I wasn't happy with the fatal frame v change (especially since it has some basis in the story) but this doesn't bother me much.
I hope (in principle) the costume is there for the other characters, but honestly the character models in this game are so ugly that I don't even want to see them dressed this way.

The question is, why was there ever a sexualized, fetish outfit worn by a 15 year old girl in this game in the first place?

Well, they fixed the outfit, but her face (especially eyes) is still disturbing to me. Like an utterly soul-less, Lymle-tier atrocious anime doll.
Monolith Soft needs new character modeller.

That's fine, what's with the legs though?

See this other post
It seems like those are just the default shorts, not the censored version of the bikini bottom.
I guess we'll see something similar to the top then, with Lin having some kind of skintight shorts that will always be there and the bikini appearing over it. If it's really something like that, it's a pretty decent compromise, I guess.
EU version she is supposed to be 15yo and she looks more like 13yo, when JP version she's supposed to be 13yo and looks like a 15yo.
Outside controversy, only one thing: Get your shit together during the development process. When character designers are working they need to be aware that the game will be released worldwide and balance their character/outfit designs accordingly.
This is an example where the fault lies to the managers, both at Monolith and at Nintendo.
And that BS somewhat hurts the game. It probably required a couple weeks for tweaking it too, and the game is releasing late already.
I'm not surprised given the previous game barely was released in NA and now XCX is promoted as the big holiday season title for Wii U, though.

Yep.
I would often intentionally not use my best gear because of this. I would rather have an overall lower defence than running around playing as the pool party squad.
Oh, good to hear. I wish more RPG's offered this option
Ok, that's great. Good for you.

I just see a virtual girl in a swimsuit. People are reacting like some hardcore porn was in the game or something.

I am positive I'll never use any costumes (I never do this in games, everything needs to be vanilla, I hate customization) but I have to disagree:
1. She's a fictional character
2. Her age is arbitrarily set and she does not look like 13 at all in the Japanese version
3. She's not a real person, so no one is being demaged.
That being said I find Japan's obsession with putting video game characters in bathing suits strange.

Reminds me of Yuffie. Proportions look really bad though for whatever reason.

The localized version is way better, she almost looks "normal". Who dress a 13 years old in only her underwear anyway?
Good. I don't need want that in my game :/
My copy is still sealed, I need to play this game ;_;
I wish the world would just end so I have time to complete my backlog.

the original costume when it was first revealed caused a shit storm on the internet and in the gaming media this change was guaranteed to happen.
The outfit is a generic one for all the characters, it's not something designed specifically for the 15 years old girl. The issue was that it can be used on Lin too.
You can still use that costume on the other characters, just not on Lin. Is that a problem?

Lol @ people being confused about her proportions. Perspective people, it's clearly a picture taken of a screen from a high angle. Pretty sure her proportions are the same.
Very good change, I will never understand why people would want something like the original. Especially on a 13/15 yr old...

Welp, I don't even know why I bother buying nintendo consoles anymore. I can't even import the japanese version because somehow region lock is still a thing in 2015.
edit: actually, it is. Mindblown. :O
This isn't how perspective works.
