I humbly request that we not get into the Vivian thing here. Otherwise this is going to be a quick 500 topic arguing about nothing but that. Some people argue she was trans in the original Japanese version, others say she was a femboy or the like. The important thing is that she was not a cisgender female originally, but is in the English release. Though the script was also rewritten in the Italian version to make her explicitly trans and added a bit of a character arc to it.

Because it's a Playboy reference. Same thing happened years ago with the Dragon Quest VIII and Tales of Symphonia ports. People speculated it was over coypright concerns, but considering the the number of gacha games that use the design (and even DQ 11), it's probably because the sexual connotations are too overt.

...it's a Boo. A floating circle with stubby arms and a tail. There's nothing sexy about giving one rabbit ears. Honestly without the full getup, I find the cat ears to be more suggestive.
