Naz Chris: And this one has become a hot topic - It's about whether the costumes will stay the same as before or not.
Yuji Horii: Well yeah, there have been many kinds of restrictions. Like how you cannot expose too much.
Naz Chris: Ah that one, wait, I didn't really intend to delve deeper into that though. It should've been fine, it's just a fiction. Since it's just you entering as the protagonist and doing an adventure, I think it should be fine, but is that not the case?
Yuji Horii: I wonder, I don't quite understand this matter either.
Naz Chris: It's a game; it's a fiction where you're having your own virtual experience, so I think you should've been able to have fun with that.
Yuji Horii: If we have too much exposure, the age [rating] would end up be raised, it could no longer have an all-ages rating.
Second MC: The rules differ in each country after all. If you want to sell it widely, you have to adhere with the strictest one.
Naz Chris: Back then we wouldn't have to think about that.
Kazuhiko Torishima: Speaking about compliance, It's really some kind of... I wonder what it is... I must say it's like an absolute god. It's like an evil that pretended to be good [Translators' Note: An absolute direct translation of this phrase would be 'An evil that borrowed the name of good'].
There is no such thing as everyone not feeling uncomfortable. It's fine if you feel uncomfortable somewhere. After all, each person has their own way of determining what is clean or dirty, or what is good or evil. And what's really in the roots of things is that there are some things that you absolutely must not do, and as long as you don't do that you'd be fine for the rest, right? That's not the case.
It really came from the West; a way of approaching sex education with a religious concept exists in America, doesn't it? Their way of thinking on compliance is really very narrow. That's why when we want to bring our comics there, we have to separate all of them by age [rating]. If Shonen Jump manga titles aren't 13+ they cannot be published. We have to retake everything. And since lawsuits can happen, we also have to get an insurance. Having to do things with a stupid country like this is really annoying. And Japan is also getting a bad influence from that.
Yuji Horii: You can also choose a male or female [version] of the protagonist, but we cannot write it as "choose from Male or Female"; it became "Type 1 & Type 2". I wonder who the heck are going to complain about "Male and Female"? I don't understand.
