「ロックマンX DiVE」Rockman X DiVE — Summer Roll’s NEW Model Showcase
Okay, I think it’s the second instance of Capcom changing models (with the first-ever being Aile’s skin-colored fingers that are now white, like they should be). I might be wrong here, but at least this is the first instance ever when the model was changed by a lot.
Skills and animations stayed the same (since my buddy got her and showcased for myself too), she just has a different swimsuit now and I like it more than the original one. I actually wasn’t really fond of the first one, but I was OK with it since I knew where did it come from:
(Capcom, give us Summer Duo next year, plz)
So, in short, swimsuit design was changed because of how the original design was now assosiating with some... nasty fetish stuff in Japan. And also it somehow was affecting the age rating of the game because of guesssss?
I dunno what DiVE’s age rating is in Japan and in other Asian countries, but it’s 3 and E for Everyone outside of these territories... no matter the fact this game has gacha which should’ve automatically raise the rating to 12 and T for Teens. Same case with Summer Layer who didn’t get any redesign in Global version which is... what?
Well, OK, they changed Roll’s costume at least, but they thought Layer’s swimsuit, that wasn’t even the original one she had in Legacy Collection (which had a bit more layers of clothes, ahaha) was OK for the general rating of being “the lowest there can be“? Is it all because of the fact 80% of the entire cast in this franchise consist of “robots“ and digital programs?..
Also this banner had eaten up 1000EM only to give me 80 memories of Aquaman Buster that I’ve already 4* long before this banner showed up. Alright, thank you, but I don’t even use this weapon.
This week’s event has the same story as the one we saw this year’s winter:
(Also Capcom missed their chance of making Red Alert event to commemorate X7’s anniversary. Don’t worry, I’ll contribute to it myself on the actual “birthday“)
