The truth of the matter is, there wasnt really a two year time gap between doa4 and doa5 that was an excuse to make the characters socially acceptable for western players, its a form of censorship and it happens all the time when japanese games are localized (example. Bravely Default for 3ds). Its the same case for Marie Rose, had this been a japanese exclusive game she would not be 18.

What's interesting is that other fighting games have characters that are way younger than most of the cast in DOA5U. Lili is 16 and Askua is 17 in Tekken. Sakura is like 16 in SF. And I'm pretty sure Carl Clover, my main in BlazBlue, is about 12 or 13 years of age. So honestly, I don't see what the big is.

I'd assume the fan service would still be intact. It may be ruined by forcing terrible English dubs on you, though.

Luckily I won't have to worry about that since Senran Kagura Burst had Japanese dub English sub which is safe enough to say the same would happen for Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus.

Just thinking about english VAs for most of the characters is such a terrible though lol

I'm pretty sure that Tekken characters also age per game (except Tag Tournaments). Lili was only 16 during her debut.

It's the overemphasis on the sexualization of characters that doesn't look like what their age is suppose to be (A.K.A. jailbait by appearance) is what irks people up.

Lili is still 16, according to Tekken 6, the current game in the main series cannon. Blah, and honestly, it's just getting old people keep focusing on the wrong things about DOA. Like today, for instance, me and friend were playing DOA casuals. He used the tropical sexy outfit with Leifang and I used Marie Rose in her C4. A guy asked my friend why he chose that outfit for Leifang. His reply was simply to get a rise out of people. And so true, it did get a rise out of some people. But we honestly didn't care, since we were more interested in the fighting rather than the costumes.

Umm... I really don't know what to say here.

I just imagine Marie Rose miscounted her age like Goku in early Dragon Ball. He said he was 14, he was actually 11ish. MR is probably the same way.

That said, while over here it is technically not a crime to have drawn children... like that, it does look odd. I've gone on enough R34 boards to still be squicked by that sort of thing. Not to mention in some countries it is illegal.

This discussion is just ridiculous, it's just "She's 18!" "No she's not!" "Yes she is!" over and over.

I'm just waiting for the bug to be fixed so I can download the patch without breaking my save data. I like my Halloween and Legacy DLC.

I don't think Marie Rose should get special treatment just because her bust is smaller. Besides, it's hardly noticeable.

Leifang may technically act/sound as if she was 12 but she is far from looking like a full-blown kid that just turned 13.

Her cheerleader outfit having pompoms and bloomers as her underwear can already be considered special treatment. Why not?

I honestly think Marie Rose looks 18, because I have friends who are 18 and older, but just as small and cute looking as Marie Rose. Remember, the girl is like 4'8", IIRC. And what's wrong with her cheerleader outfit looking extra cute? The whole point of the character is the fact that she knows she's cute and is a rebel. She doesn't care that her breasts aren't as big or that she looks as old as the other DOA girls. No, Marie Rose is her own individual, so it's not surprise that some of her outfits are unique looking from the others.

*last few pages discussion again is about the morality of Marie Rose's sexualized depiction because she looks young.*

Silly me for thinking that something more...useful was being discussed. I'll come back when the fallout is over.
