  Off top of my head... Tera Online, Phantasy Star Online 2, Bless, Black Desert...

  
  
  On the extreme side there's scarlet blade, and I think gw2 had quite a bit of customization, also vindictus.

  None of those hold a candle to B&S when it comes to T&A.

  Scarlet blade holds quite a bit more than B&S, it is sexualized to the extreme. The only thing that could compete in B&S is the fact that KR version has alot of nudity if you want. CN version is very censored and is tamer than vindictus when it comes down to it. If we ever do get B&S here it will probably be as tame as Cn version is so honestly its not very sexualized compared to alot of the games we mentioned.

  Ok, Scarlet Blade I'll give you, though that one is literally advertised as 'mature' so I don't think it really belongs on the scale.
  
  I haven't seen the B&S chinese version, mostly just the KR stuff when it first was announced/released. While metal bikinis are pretty much standard issue, now, B&S takes exaggerated body features to the next level. Like, well past grotesque. The other mentioned games are well within the barbie line. They have customization, yes, but it stops no further beyond reasonable than the norm.

  Well chinese goes so far as to basically spray paint ur skin for most outfits, takes off jiggle effect for breasts, and allows absolutely no nudity. It's honestly way less than even vindictus, but chinese did it so hastily and horribly that they ruined any real art in the clothing for alot of them and it makes me angry. While I wish NA (if we even get it) doesnt censor too much like chinese, it doesnt need to be as sexualized as the kr version.
  
  In the end tho, sex sells.

  "Scenery"

  I considered playing it for the combat system, but I don't really want to put up with that level of 'sex sells.' It's kind of insulting, not to mention really difficult to look respectable playing.

  Well cn version is very very clean when it comes to that, but even in kr u can pretty easily make ur char non sexualized. The sexualized option is there but its not forced onto u.

  That's one char out of many, though. I don't particularly enjoy that atmosphere.
  
  In Tera, while there were plenty of scantily clad Castanics, there were far more of the other, more modest races. So, while sexy was totally available, it wasn't the norm and didn't exceed general expectations.
  B&S has an art style that leans heavily towards their robust body parts (both male and female), so it's more of an ever-present thing, even if I'm not part of it.

  I didn't notice alot of sexualized character while I played it, if anything people use more elegant clothing that is more stylish and dont try to just show every bit of skin they can. If kr wanted to be like that they could basically just go naked and afk in w/e town they afk in. I think while the sexualized nature of games brings people in, most people get tired of seeing their character dressed with barely anything and try to actually be more stylish and elegant in the end. This is wat I have noticed from playing on CN version for a few months.

  Do you think that would hold on a US server?

  If it works on jp server then yes i do think it would work, we shall see tho. In the end NA may never get BNS tho...

  Sounds like there's a lot of extra work involved in localizing it, since actual nudity is somehow so much worse than the common fare.
