You're probably right, but AGTP had translated Shin Megaten at least as early as 2002, and the story and idea could have predated the graphic itself.

Besides, all of the devs didn't need to happen to be fans, just Kahvi. But again, probably coincidence.

I'm sure Captain Action would have managed.

Yep. Azba nailed it on the head there. It shouldn't affect basic things like prices or services (No matter how much "realistic" sense it might make) as much as it should something gimmicky, that the player can take advantage of at a higher level of play.

As it is, however, freely changing gender steps on other people's toes. That is my point. You cannot please everyone. No matter what you do, especially in this day and age, you will offend a lot of people. Lots of groups are extremely touchy (See: tumblr) about even the very smallest of issues, and cracking even the lightest of jokes about gender will invariably send them off into a rant about how you are literally worse than Hitler. So, keeping that in mind, don't try to be overly careful about not offending people.

To clarify a bit, I'm not saying the female armors should be skimpy or fantasy-like, as it were. (Not that I would mind, but that's completely besides the point) I wouldn't have said anything to begin with, but most of the NPCs you mentioned were the ones with skimpy clothes.

IVAN is already full of inappropriate humor, but the even more pressing thing to me here is that it all makes sense in context. "Fixing" the problem by giving them more modest clothes seems poorly thought through, and more like being sensible for the sake of making the game more sensible, rather than addressing a serious issue. The game is obviously tongue firmly in cheek, and I think changing the mistresses makes for an odd and out-of-place moment of mixed intentions. The next thing we know, the banana grower encourager does not whip people anymore because somebody thinks it sends a racist message.

Hopefully, I've simply read too much into that little statement, but this is the way I feel about it, anyway.

No. No no no. If we all decide that the females are "in poor taste" and need give them more modest clothes, or god forbid spare the women and children from dismemberment, then I'm leaving the community forever. IVAN doesn't need the only thing it takes seriously to be that.

For the record.

I feel like that's a little dramatic for a negative god effect, personally. Plus, he's a blacksmith god, so that effect would make less sense.

Let no one ever say that C/LIVAN is or ever was balanced or in the "proper" spirit of IVAN.

Never in my life did I think I would be hearing people discussing farts in tactics of a roguelike. There is hope in this world, after all.

Cap what the hell did you do to the months list for birthdays?

Forgive the intrusion. My luck is augmented.
