The battle of the MMORPGs nobody plays is heating up in more ways than one – Final Fantasy XIV has added some devastatingly sexy bikinis, whilst Tera Online’s grasp of the extremes of both ero and moe is approaching legendary status.
However, reportedly the Tera Online developers have, in their infinite wisdom, cut all the ero, moe and other distinctive elements from the game’s western release, ensuring the game will safely remain another generic also-ran Korean MMORPG nobody plays – fortunately for Square Enix.

Still hoping they change their minds or something.
No gamer in their right mind cares about nudity. It's just the insane media perception that we do, and the Christian nutjobs who puts up a brave front in their extreme minority in that the vast majority actually cares.
Also, the gameplay in Tera is way better so maybe gameplay will get sales by itself..
Same here, I saw some of the screens and was like "Hey I might get this!" ...and then they crushed my interest with that "cut all ero and moe from western release". Unfair!
There is always dat swapping. You can already get the swimsuits with any armor in ffxiv with dat swapping. I'm pretty sure some modders will offer the original versions of the modified ero-less armors.
See? There are still people who would buy a game that has so much skin showing even if the gameplay's shitty. Dead or Alive series survives exactly thanks to people like you.
That part was completely misquoted. What they are doing is adding knee high stockings and tights to the Elin "loli" race. Their are no other modifications to any of the other females, or to the Elin races aesthetics.
I'm not defending censorship, I think it's complete rubbish that they are censoring ANY part of the game. I'm just simply stating that what the article said was bullshit. Yes, they are censoring Elin's by adding stockings.
However, all the other races are left untouched, and are still remaining sexy. They're just trying to please the xenophobic western audience who takes offense to something they don't understand.
I was just simply commenting that the quote was completely off base by saying they were removing all those elements from the game.
maybe people will create a patch to get the uncensored version, since it's UE3 and all...
still, i lost interest for this game a long time ago, even before this censor, they paint it a the true action mmo but even that is a dubious title, everything else is either standard or simply plain stupid, ie the political system
Perhaps, but I bet there will be a fix for it within the first week of its release if that's the case. You know someone out there will have the skills to release the loli for everyone!
that is not true. They are doing some tights on some armors for Elin, but there will be a lot of bear legs and skirts. They aren't getting censored as bad as people think. Some armor is going to get those tights but only few.
After doing a little research, take a look at this blue post on the matter -

Perhaps it won't be as censored as we assumed.
I can handle tights.
Take everything you read on Sankaku with a pinch of salt, I forgot that myself yesterday.

Well, there goes any interest I might have had in the game. Or maybe I should just learn Korean.
IAWTC. I saw some cute lolis and very beautiful adult women and became interested - and then was told "no import for you!"

If they don't include it someone will write it for them.
Hopefully they will include special patch that you can download to unlock those features

Let's fly to Korea
awwhh..<3 the new genre of online, MMOTFF = Massive Multiplayer Online To Fap For
Most things are unchanged, people. Just what they're calling a "very small number" of Elin armors.
Cant play on their servers unless you have some korean ID or something I heard
Well well well, why am I not surprised.
See? There are still people who would buy a game that has so much skin showing even if the gameplay's shitty. Dead or Alive series survives exactly thanks to people like you.
Or it just looks interesting. It reminds me of Vindictus, except not retarded.
They're giving the Elin pants to cover their legs and removing their animal ears.
Last I checked they were changing the Elin to have spats and/or Knee high socks. Or stockings. So I call that a sidegrade.
Well, actually Tera's gameplay looks interesting, and the only thing who prevented me from triying it was "SEXY ARMORS, EVERYWHERE!".
Let's have hope we will get quickly private/pirate servers.
With nude-mod of course!
I'm looking for PS server as well. Or I will try JP/K-Tera.
EME has shown themselves to be generic assholes to their own game. I don't care for this company after the slop and trolling they've given to players.
Well, guess I won't be bothering with Tera.
En-Masse publisher did that. Stupid bastards never saw diseaga and hyper dimension 3 but decided to cut elin because their asshats.
Fail. I hope NA Tera rots and burns.

It's colored thights and leggings according to them.
Their intention is to get rid of the panties and voluptuous thighs.
Don't try to defend censorship.

Hear hear. I'll whine about it. While I play.
Why is this comment voted down? It changes everything!
Only slightly censored lolis.
Because some retards are going around voting down all the accurate comments and voting up the ones freaking out and believing this crock, that's why.
The Elin (Tera loli race) are getting censored in the American and European versions though. T__T
There won't be any pantyshots and bare legs in our Tera.
They will all be wearing grandma leggings.
source? /disappointed.jpg

I was very much looking forward to this game because of the ero and moe elements.
But now...?
#hopes dashed#
That's what mods are for!
No one will stop our thirst for pantsu!
Perhaps, but I bet there will be a fix for it within the first week of its release if that's the case. You know someone out there will have the skills to release the loli for everyone!
Unless they change the way our clients layout is, it's a simple matter of replacing the model files with the JP or KR ones.
then iam not playing this game if they censor it.
well, that just made me not buy the game....yup
I'd prefer more armour for the human girls, but I already stated my point in an earlier post anyway ._.
that is not true. They are doing some tights on some armors for Elin, but there will be a lot of bear legs and skirts. They aren't getting censored as bad as people think. Some armor is going to get those tights but only few.
No, there won't be bare thighs and pantsu anymore.
All revealing cloth armor will be censored.
They have made their stance on this pretty clear through their actions.

Like what actions?
They've done nothing past the initial announcement of a "handful" of armor edits.
Stop spreading sensationalistm, Artefact Jr.
I have to admit... I want to play both of these games now. So much plot and backstory there. Oh and the setting looks fine too!
Oh what am I saying... I just want to make a fem loli and make her look naughty.
loli makes anything bad looks good.
Yes but these Lolis have too big ass!
So these are not Loli for me.
those big ass lolis are from ffxiv
me too!!,even diminish their asses
...and then FFXIV's bad gameplay wakes you up
and then a lack of actually trying the game makes you an ignorant dumbass.
and then the copy and pasted terrain smacks you in the face http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La9nLBfH44c
