Well. In the latest shit show that is #BlueProtocol , the #censorship for the West release is a lot worse than anticipated and Amazon is doubling down massively. To keep things short, Amazon has removed the smallest body type from the game and in a bizarre puritan panic, removed "jiggle" physics that are basically only present in character creation. They cited in an interview that jiggle physics can make Western audiences "uncomfortable". Do these people at Amazon go outside AT ALL, I wonder? Yes, breasts DO IN FACT MOVE AROUND EVEN IN REAL LIFE. lol
This is absolutely ridiculous for a company that wants the game to be "inclusive" yet removes the petite body type. There is no good reason to ever do this and their bullshit excuse that they want to keep the Teen rating falls flat when you look at their competitors, FF14 and WoW. Both these games are rated Teen and feature suggestive content.
There's also changes to the menu that has the character's underwear, which seems to be just flat out also removed from the game. It's very bizarre, honestly. Do these people at Amazon also not wear underwear or something?
This Twitter thread by Zakogdo has further information regarding that:

@beardalaxy There is always a first time for everything and Amazon are probably the first assholes I've heard of in MMO history that have pretty much removed the equivalent of a race in the game. This is the same if FF14 just yeeted Lalafells from the Western release.
This doesn't do the game's already lackluster combat system, clunky UI, and $100+ gacha outfits any favors.
