If you really want to start getting technical:
Until last year, a person was considered a minor in Japan until age 20. At age 13 Japanese minors were considered adolescents and able to consent to sexual activity. (Sailor Moon was 14 dating a 17 year old, not to mention any series where the character was in a schoolgirl outfit definitely weren't college students.) In general the public didn't have as much of a stick in their ass about acknowledging puberty and sexual attraction between characters. Want to make a game where pretty girls get naked as the reward? Boobs aren't genitalia, something is obscuring the vagina and butthole, so they aren't indecent. There's also no penis in vagina so it's not sex.
The arguments would hold up like wet cardboard today, but CERO started in 2002, so there's just an extra generation of games in the FMV/Multimedia era that escaped scrutiny.
