They didn't change her size, that's just the perspective of the off-screen photo. Smeags linked pics.

S'okay guys, she's actually a 10,000 year old dragon so it's totally fine!

So it went from nice body/ugly face to ugly everything?

It is the same exact body.

Someone claims that shortness is just the case of an oddly angled photo.

Which makes sense because making her shorter would mean reworking cut-scenes and that just sounds like too much work.

Also the same source claims that this change only applies to Lin, so Elma still has such an outfit.

This type of change is fine. The game shouldn't be making these things for a teen rated game, in the first place. Which is the most likley culprit. But why wasn't this shown off at all official US displayed info from day 1.

In the moment when to cover a little bit of a 13 year old girl body is called "censorship" and a reason for backlash, you know there is something really fucked up with gaming comunity.

THIS so much this. It feels like people have gotten so anti-censorship its going tooo far in the other direction.

I mean, they messed around with other things in Fire Emblem, so I guess they were feeling nice? I mean, there's really not anything sexual in Fire Emblem. Just occasional fanservice. (which is all this is, regardless of whether you think the outfit is appropriate or not)

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

Well. You do dumb decisons in other areas. The dumbness starts to spread.

I dunno, this just comes off as really odd to me. They cencored the bikini shot of Tharja, which, okay I guess, but this has red flags all over it. 12 year old looking girl in what looks like a bikini/lingerie. I'm surprised Tharja was unchanged too. These recent changes is starting to concern me...

Oh, ok. I'm on a strict policy of not supporting any censored game, so I guess I'm not going to buy this one as well.

Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
