In a way, it was to begin with. Giving one region a different version of the game. It was like Hirada with Tekken, "this is what you Westerners like" kind of move. Nobody was going to take them to court over a few lolis in those outfits. And the decision didn't bring many customers to the game, I'm sure.
The Fate of Arun is here, and the "censorship" is still left intact. Depending on your definition of the word censorship. It was poor choice, especially considering what they're doing now.
Not that it's great. The whole "bikini armor" thing, for any race. But their reasons seem ridiculous and hypocritical now. Because all of these costumes they've been giving to races like the Elin are much more skimpy than the armors that were censored. In multiple costumes
Aside from being glitchy, the boyshorts really aren't that good. They weren't as well designed as the original armors.
And they even still claim that putting the original costumes back in, is a bannable offense. To me, that's ridiculous. And it would take them literally no time to put the old ones back in, or give players a slider. It's almost as if their current business strategy is to hide skimpy outfits behind a paywall.
This topic isn't to say that Tera needs a bunch of scantily clad lolis. Or a scantitly clad anyone. But En Masse and Bluefrog seem really hypocritical at this point to have censored them then, only to sell players practically naked Elin armors for like $10.
Did they not know when they localized it, that Bluehole Studio was going to make a bunch of practically naked Elin costumes? Their idea is bizarre and inconsistent at this point. They really should have kept up the censorship, or dropped it altogether.
What motivation do En Masse and others have to do this now? Has this become a pay-to-porn game?
On the positive side, the new content is pretty good. Though I don't know how Tera will be able to keep up in an evolving MMORPG industry. Black Desert is a better game in almost every way than Tera. And Scarlet Blade has it beat in the "pornygame" appeal.
I wouldn't recommend against not trying Fate of Arun, though. It's not bad.
