I mean I seem to recall a lot of hubalub being made about Tera's censorship regarding the Elin race when it finally made it to EU/NA marketplace.
FFXIV is a game that has its fingers in a lot of different markets. NA, EU, Japan, Korea, and China are the big five it advertises to nevermind you still have audiences from places like Australia and South America. Its something they have to be cognizant about especially with things like proposed bans on sexual depictions of underaged character being proposed and enforced by both governments (I want to say the U.N. ban but the only source I can find is OneAngryGamer and lol no) and private entities (Discord unverifying r/ffxiv)
Basically squeenix has to not only be clairvoyant about shit ten years from now but also in every market. (Or however long they expect to actively release expansions that require ESRB, PEGI, USK, CERO, GRB, and etc... certification)
But hey there's still stuff like bimbo mods.
