I said ''ON THIS censorship'' meaning going against this censorship and complaning is preatty stupid. Because it depects a minor oversexulised. Personally i dont care for oversexulised stuff at all, sometimes i even like it and im against most censorship but i can fully understand Nintendo's decision to censor it this time, because the character is 15, and even with the censorship she has some revealing clothes, and elma is still sexualised in the western version, so hope that can satisfy your needs :)

My argument still stands. Weather it's this subject or anoher one.

I guess it depends on. I agree that i didnt like Nintendo's censorship about the bikini suit for Fatal frame, but alot of censorship has to do with how it would be received here, alot of papers and reviewers, wich would be female or feminists would be reporting on this and make a big deal about it. I guess thats how nintendo thinks. i think censorship has rarely to do with how the staff sees it. I couldn't imagine that.

To a degree it has to. Or certain things wouldn't be removed in one game. But than removed in another. Which can be found in various games. By the same company. Nintendo themselves are a confusing bunch. Since this was allowed in the game to begin with. As they know this was going to be a world wide selling game. Why would you put something like this, that you know could potentionally be wrong in other countries, in? And not simply agree to not do it from the get go. That basically saying Nintendo US/EU has no input towards Nintendo JPN.

And yet they do nothing about her deep end of the uncanny valley face.

People not buying the game over this had no true intention of buying it.

OT: Glad it got censored.

This isn't censorship. It's a good decision to de-sexualize a child character.

Regardless of whether you agree with it or not it's still censorship. That much is a fact.


No, because Nintendo is not being censored by anyone.  They have made a creative decision to add clothes to a minor to improve their product.  No one made them do it, so they have not been censored in any way.

Wow Nintendo... WOW NINTENDO!

Here I was actually debating breaking my policy on pre-orders for this game, and somehow... SOMEHOW, you have given me absolutely no reason so far for me to not to pre-order this game.


... I mean I seriously can't understand the ironic high ground of fighting the censorship of a 13 year old girl.
If you getting this was reliant on this swimsuit being in it or not, then I don't know what to tell you. Except that the fact that the game is a 200-300 hour huge JRPG with mechs should completely overshadow barely existing swimwear on a 13 year old.

A 13 year old...

Ffs, this is not censorship people. It is localization. It's like the change to English language is censorship?!?

I honestly don't know how anyone can complain. It's a 15, but really 13, year old girl for God's sake. If you are really that bothered about this...I dunno what to say. Are you really not going to buy the game because of commonsense? This is no way censorship. Sorry, guys.

She looks scarier I guess :-p


15 years old you say!?!

 


The change to 15 was a rumor, but afaik it was proven false. 

 

Also, Rise is technically 16 by the time you get her in your party iirc.

On the other hand Xenosaga and the original Xenoblade were uncensored and nobody cared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ayC4ITDGhkk#t=700


Okay first things first, Xenosaga was censored. People did throw a fit. Quite a big fit. 

Xenoblade had no characters under the age of 18 in the party. 

And if you honestly don't see the difference between MOMO in that scene and the swimsuit for Lin in the OP, then there is seriously something wrong with you.
