Preface:
This post is not an opinion representing "Japan" or "Japanese".
Furthermore, we do not desire political conflict,
nor do we demand improvements from such a standpoint.
I'm just one player in Japan.

With this 6.0 update, we received a number of changes.
This includes the addition of new variants.
We always look forward to them, and this time was no different.
Then we found a new Parasoul in new variants.
...However, this gave us a sense of regret.
"Of course, as you know," Barbie became a hot topic in this summer due to its extremely sensitive content.
It was a peek into the indelible abyss carved between the U.S. and Japan.
Some of us remember this phenomenon, and we feel more than a little disenchant for you.
However, many players were able to tolerate it, simply because they saw it as just "Barbie".
That was because they were playing in Japanese.
The name in Japanese is "ナイスボーディ", sounds like Nice Bo'o'dy.
Perhaps the person in charge of this translation tried to dilute the affected source as much as possible.
(That feeling is probably correct, and it had successed half.)
At this point, you had conducted a survey campaign.
This led many players to check the original, English version of its name.
And then we saw "Bombshell", the blatant and so ugly meme-riding name.
I know Bombshell has many meanings.
For example, it would represent "being sexy".
However, your linguistic sense of naming must be not so simple and colorless.
Whether it's jokes or current events, I know that you always put a lot of meaning into them.
In particular, recently you just "overcorrected" (someone called so) based on compliance.
Is this problem something lighter than Filia's underwear...?
This caused many players to feel so uncomfortable at this time, again, over and over.
(Especially people who are serious about the game and have LOVED the content for a long time.)
If you've been following the meme-related uproar,
you may know that this may became more than just a ripple.
I would like to see improvements to this variant.
Before it becomes a fire-branding business.
Sincerely,
Esse (@ESSE_CR)
