They censored her boobs with a black fire or smoke? Ha-ha-ha-ha.

If you pay close attention, you'll see that I've used the words "think" and "believe" lots of times. Of course they could have lied in a statement, I just don't think they'll do that with a close third party partner. 

LOL, it's almost as bad as having a bunch of black shapes covering an area ...

Even I can agree that the black fog being used to cover her chest is definitely doing too much. But hey, at least that black fog kinda gives off the impression that she isn't wearing anything up above...

NOA needs to stop with this ridiculous censorship. This does nothing but damage their reputation, and they should know better.

Reminds me of Tharja on Awakening, where they censored her bikini by adding some piece of cloth that got in the way. With that, it actually looked like Tharja was actually naked!

Yeah, I totally agree with this XD. The black mist is obviously a bad idea.

I don t think they would do it unless Atlus was ok with the statement- Since they do have a good relationship they are probably "on the sae page"  as far as the pr  wether the statement is true or not -   But i agree they would not burn Atlus on something like this

These changes are probably a result of Atlus trying to get a T rating. Honestly something as small as cleavage can probably bump up the game rating. I remember rading an interview with Sakurai over how Smash 4 almost didn't make its schedule release date because of rating issues. Apparently it was because of Palutena and Wonder Pink trophy.

In this particular case, I think the Western version looks better.

Anyway, I can't wait to play this game.
