It's one of the many things Nintendo has to change in order for me to respect them as a company again they have to stop treating their market like children. Also NoA needs MAJOR fixing, it's god awful

The way I see it, some things get censored in other regions perhaps because what may seem fine in one region may not be seen appropriate in general. Certain things may not be seen okay as a whole in some societies.


If movies like 50 shades of nudity can launch in the US, then I think the public will be ok with some underwear on fake girls, in an adult video game.

Bravely Default has been censored as well by making the skimpy costumes to be "less revealing" the argument for this one was that the game was rates for teens and the main characters were underage.

Actually the localization also aged the characters up so none of them were minors. So that point doesn't really work.

And finally religious references, skimpy outfits and what not is all getting "slightly" censored in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Is that true? I know they changed the BLADE acronym but I didn't hear anything beyond that. Would piss me off if it's the case.

I understand that they would like to censor somethings in order to lower the ESRB rating, but do question some of their choices :/

Not too big of a deal for me since I don't really care whether it's there or not, unless you lose certain features or bonuses..

I can't really say on the situation with 50 Shades of Grey since I don't know anything about it. Perhaps nudity fits with that story, or seen generally in a negative light. Whatever the creators or people in charge of decide to do, that is up to them.

If you don't know anything about it, don't bother LEARNING anything about it. Absolute garbage movie.

Thanks, I kind of wish I didn't, though it seemed like a hot topic at some point in time...

I'm not getting it anymore because of it. I was in the mood to play a mediocre exploitative horror game for Halloween. Now its just a mediocre horror game. No sale.

EDIT: Just to be clear, this isn't political. I don't care about censorship like this. I just had very low brow reasons to buy this, and now they're gone. They can censor all they want for all I care. It's not like the outfits added anything of consequence to the gameplay. I just wanted them because they were carnal and skimpy, and I'm a guy who likes that stuff sometimes.

No, it wasn't. I really don't care. People get up in arms about censorship. I couldn't care less. 99.99% of the time it's completely inconsequential. At that point, you're just being angry based on principal. I don't have anything against the principal. Or in support of it. Who cares if I'm old enough to watch a girl in lingerie in an M rated game. Not me.
