Naz Chris (Host): "The costume design has become a huge topic of discussion."
Yuji Horii: "Well, there are various regulations, you know. We can't have too much exposure."
Naz Chris: "But that's fine. Even though it's fiction, you, the protagonist, are going on an adventure within it, so I think that's okay. Isn't it?"
Yuji Horii: "I don't really know. I'm not sure about that."
Naz Chris: "It's a game. It's a non-fiction virtual experience within fiction, so I think it should be fun."
Yuji Horii: "If there's too much exposure, the target age rating goes up. It could no longer be suitable for all ages."
Naz Chris: "I didn't think about that back then."
Kazuhiko Torishima: "There's this absolute god called 'compliance.' It’s like evil disguised as good. Not everyone can feel comfortable with everything. After all, concepts of beauty and ugliness, good and evil vary from person to person. At the root of things, there are definitely some things you should never do, and as long as you avoid those, everything else should be fine. But that’s not the case. The concept of sex education that comes from religious ideas in the West is prevalent in America. Their view on compliance is really narrow. When they publish comics over there, they have to categorize them by age. If it's a Weekly Shōnen Jump manga, it can't be published for anyone under 13 years old. Everything has to go through reworkings. You have to get insurance in case of lawsuits. It's really troublesome. Japan has also been negatively influenced by this."
Yuji Horii: "You can choose the protagonist's gender, but you can't say 'choose male or female.' It's type 1 and type 2. I wonder who would complain if we just said male and female? I don't understand."
