Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo made potato-chan a midget [Xenoblade X censorship]

Chazore on 30 October 2015

I don't mind lingerie and all but I honestly see the outfit on the left as an actual fitting improvement, I'd rather have a character wearing clothes for a battle I want to be immersed in rather than someone who bought a game to just look at some booty. I've got other material for that.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

That's exactly how it works. It there's consequences for altering a game to a publishers wants, then there's no deterrent from them doing it. While the slippery slope is a fallacy, it happens in real life and we have very good examples of it happening in the games industry.

Also, you're agreeing with someone who thinks any female who wears a swimsuit is a giant slut. Just FYI.

WHat are you talking about! Im agreeing with the Nintendo localising teams that they removed those outfits. Myself dont mind them that much , because i wouldnt use them if they didnt have game specific advantages. But ik its distasteful over here.

I think the censorship is ok in this case.
What´s the point of having a 13 year-old girl walking around dressed as a sexy pole dancer?
Plus, I found the new outfits cool.

In the moment when to cover a little bit of a 13 year old girl body is called "censorship" and a reason for backlash, you know there is something really fucked up with gaming comunity.

THIS so much this. It feels like people have gotten so anti-censorship its going tooo far in the other direction.

Well. You do dumb decisons in other areas. The dumbness starts to spread.

thats not how it works

Yeah it does. Companies keep doing stupid things like the censorship in the M rated fatal frame. Which is dumb. Eventually, the people hating the censorship, will now hate all forms of alterations in a game, owned by Nintendo, weather it's reasonable or not.

Oh God, that's not about bikinis, that's about censorship as a fact. They change/remove some outfits, they rename Dolls, they remove religious references. NoA and NoE supposed to be distributors, not developers. As a result, they don't care about author's vision and do what they want.

And all of you must be sure, they will remove all bikini outfits from #FE and do horrible english dub for all the songs in the western release.

I don't mind the fact that they're adding more clothes, I'm actually happy about this change, since y'know, a young girl running around in something you could barely call underwear is more than a little creepy in my opinion anyway, but did they really have to change her proportions and make her a midget? o.O


They didn't, the picture is just take at an angle.

Uh, the "censored" version is one of the armor types in the JP version, showing that next to the bikini type doesn't really prove anything tbh.

Though they likely did censor/remove it, the comparison pic isn't a "censored" version, its a different armor set.

Oh no, NIntendo is changing content so it doesn't break child-pornography laws



TheLastStarFighter on 30 October 2015

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



Maraccuda on 30 October 2015

A little conflicted over this (definitely not as much as Fatal Frame).

On one hand they have removed sexy bikinis.
On the other it was to downplay underage girls in the western market which is understandable.

...Id say this irks me a little more than the censorship in Bravely Default though.
