Forums - Sony Discussion - Star Ocean 5 censorship of a woman 18 years old due to western pressure.

bigtakilla on 13 April 2016

It appears that there was some cencorship in the new Star Ocean game has come to light. The developers decided to give 18 year old character Miki Sauvester granny panties in the new Star Ocean in all regions due to some western pressure of the sexualization of a character that I guess didn't seem to appear 18?...

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Seems that way. I certainly know the seething hate for cencorship on this site and figured I needed to get this out in the open. ;)

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

"Western pressure"

People need to understand that western pressure can't censor SE's games. Only SE can.

To true, but when asked why the changes were made, the response was "The Japanese rating system is different from that in the West and that is why these changes have to happen."

Game breaking... Pre-order cancelled.

So it's censorship because a videogame character is wearing different underwear for you to look at? Is this what gaming has come to? Complaining online about what panties a character is wearing in a JRPG?

It's been going on since Xenoblade X, nothing new here.
