Censorship is everywhere. After the whole "Censor the internet" business, censorship debates will likely be around for quite awhile nyaa.
Amazon kind of revealed the contents:

The doll is a bit blurred, but it looks cute!

The doll looks like Filene, one of the new heroines of the RoAW2.
From what it looks like, the blow up doll was censored too (likely for the same reason.) Like the Ivy bobblehead I got from Gamestop, the item is rated M for Mature (naturally for a blow up doll, but how does a bobblehead get a M rating?)

Dang, yet again I am denied my dakimakura TT^TT Oh well, at least we still get a "variety" of goods this time instead of "Character book, Soundtrack CD...Cards." Not saying that Zero was bad or anything but...I wanted more..."Agarest" kind of things XD Hopefully the doll and..."towel" will be as enjoyable as I am hoping.
Reading this whole "Censorship" part of the forum though I know how you guys feel. I only found RoAW when I looked across the counter and saw it sitting there...alone. No one even heard of Aksys much less RoAW, so it was a pretty underground game. Can't help that most of america is filled with Self-conscious women and overly christian people, no offense to you religious people though. If you guys really want the uncensored stuff then just order the Japanese version ^^; it's more expensive but at least you get what you want. Plus there is always the internet for...that kind of stuff

Err... well, I hope the art book is cool. I don't quite understand the heart towel thing. I won't mess with the doll.
Just wish we coulda gotten a soundtrack, poster or figure. :| Agarest War is such a fun series, I hate to see it get too gimmicky with all the fan service... that's what caused me to wait so long to try the first... I'm not interested in too much fan service... tits are nice and whatnot, but when the fan service exceeds aesthetics and starts influencing gameplay and mechanics (massaging mini-game, really?) it starts to get annoying.
Haha... "A wonderful towel experience" indeed. Almost the entire LE of this game simply makes me laugh nyaa.

I see no nudity on the doll. Maybe cleavage? Is that why it was censored? Then again, why was the WHOLE thing censored?
Perhaps it falls under this guideline stated under the ESRBs Advertising Practices:
-Graphic and/or excessive depictions of nudity or sexual situations
Since cleavage (Partial or otherwise) would fall under that category, I suppose the entire thing had to be censored to satisfy that practice. And as a reference, here's what they say at the ESRB website:
These Guidelines are not intended to restrict or impede creative and/or innovative advertising. Rather, they highlight certain types of content that publishers should avoid when creating qualifying advertising. These Guidelines also are not intended to address or illustrate every type of extreme or offensive content that could lead to a violation; they merely provide illustrative examples.
The following Guidelines are applicable to all qualifying advertising EXCEPT FOR demos, trailers, and videos released on the Internet. For demos, trailers, and videos released on the Internet, any content from the game or live-action or pre-rendered sequences may be included, provided that such content reflects the game's true nature and does not supplement or exceed the Pertinent Content in the game. While not required, ARC strongly recommends that companies adopt an internal set of standards and practices for Internet-distributed trailers and videos, which may include voluntarily adopting the content restrictions outlined in the following Guidelines. Alternatively, should companies choose to do so, they may still submit their trailers and videos to ARC for a determination as to whether the content is consistent with the following Guidelines.
Hmm... is there any news with having the LE available at Gamestop? With the release date coming in less than 2 months, they still don't have it in the system yet.
Depending on the game, I'll either pre-order the game from Gamestop, or the publisher. I'd prefer to pre-order from Aksys directly, but the store is, unfortunately, not made to do so. If no news is heard within two weeks of its release, I'll unfortunately have to go to Amazon for the pre-order. Fortunately, I don't believe I'll get the run-around from them, seeing how the release date has stayed steady since the announcement of its release here.

The link only shows the Standard edition and DLC for Zero nyaa.
You must log in to post.
Anyone believe that they will announce pretty soon or have a clue of what's to be included other than artbook and soundtrack.
