You're really surprised?

really..........

and yes, I am sure they looked at other games .... Tera - SevenCore - Requiem - Mortal Online - WoW - Rift - FireFall

All have less-than-Plate-armor protection

Right, because PVP is why anyone would play this, right?

FYI for those that don't know, this is the "American" version of the MMO "Queen's Blade". Not sure if it has anything to do with the anime, but signs point to yes. If that's the case, gigantic anti-gravity balloons are actually the toned-down version of breasts in this universe. Guess they get credit for that much.

"Players can engage in 1-on-1 duels, or in massive battlegrounds featuring 50 v 50, 80 v 80 players. There are also objective-based PvP matches which have additional conditions for victory aside from simply gathering kills."

No thanks. I've been doing the "pre-mades and objectives" since Unreal Tournament 1999. Show me some deep world PvP and then I'll play your game.

Those outfits are absurd;  I mean game-breaking absurd.  Guess I won't be playing this one.  

Pretty sure they're censoring stuff as well. They censored some class, it simply looked ridiculous. Pictures at the link.

The game seems to be boring tab target and asian styled combat with a grind, from a review I read. The over the top outfits was the only interesting part, so why censor it?

Either way, not my type of game.

Those uncensored pictures are just disturbing, the toon looks like a kid.  Seriously had enough of these nonce import games.  

In the screen pics the women are swordfighting wearing bikini's in which they have massive chest just flapping around.  

I don't know why companies tend to do this, or who possibly finds this stuff appealing, but it screams stupidiity and desperation to me.

I agree. There is nothing more cheesy than some 90lb big-boobed babe kicking ass. It's stupid.

To keep it at least semi-realistic, but even a mere bow-wielding ranger would have to have an extremely strong body.
