Rumor: Fire Emblem Fates’ western version removes some swimsuits

Just some clarification on swimsuits in Fates. I have not been able to buy them yet, but if you try changing into a body accessory in the…

Update: Here’s the full stream archive for those that are interested in checking out more footage:
Original (2/10): For its overseas version, Fire Emblem Fates appears to have removed some swimsuits. GameSpot hosted a live stream of the English release earlier today which shows that only the Bath Towel can be purchased from the Accessory Shop in the body section. Meanwhile, the Japanese version featured several more such as the “Risque Swimsuit” (level 1 at the shop just like the Bath Towel).
This doesn’t seem to be a matter of GameSpot being early on in Fire Emblem Fates. Now, it’s true that we have seen footage of some characters in swimsuits via English gameplay, but that may have just been what was offered as the default option. We’ll still consider this a rumor for the time being until the situation is absolutely clarified.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.
