Personally, I would censor it. For reasons that go towards the general public.
I, myself, don't really care, since it's a fictional character, it's a video game, it's unrealistic, and it's main audience is expected to be mature enough and smart enough to understand this, and not make a big deal about it.
But for someone who has never played video games before, or has a negative view of video games, they here about something like this where a 13 year old girl is being sexually depicted in some way, shape, or form, in a Nintendo published exclusive, nonetheless.
The amount of backlash, bad press, and viral negativity they'd get from various journalists, News Stations, people like Anita Sarkesian or Zoe Quinn would get involved, and all this other headache inducing stuff.
It's just not worth it.
So I don't blame them, this time.
In fact, if my memory serves me right, they, along with Square Enix, ran into a similar situation with Bravely Default.
