This made me laugh.

We shall see what happens. It wouldn't be overly surprising.

In regards to cultural relativism, etc. I think that people forget we're talking about a very niche game with a small target audience. This game will sell at most 200k in Japan? While far more than other games that get criticized, it's not like this game is an accepted piece of culture. Even if a society is more open to certain elements, it's not like it's a societal norm to be playing niche JRPGs.

I could see them bumping her up to 15 for whatever reason. Sometimes they do things like that. I don't think they would try to get away with pretending she's 18, though. I also think it's fitting that everyone in Bravely Default (even characters who were over 18 to begin with) was aged up by three years, so I was asserting that the increase would at least be a smaller one in X.

If I'm reading your last paragraph right, I think you're saying that there's no need to make changes to such a niche game? If that's the case I agree. I don't think there's any reason to make changes to this game no matter how much it would sell, though sometimes a tweak is made here and there to avoid the possibility of upsetting people, like the tiny edit made to one of the FE: Awakening DLCs.

The point was:

1. There's nothing really to gain from changing it.

2. Unrelated though, but people use "well, it's Japan" as an excuse, when it's not like this is something accepted mainstream. That's all.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
