Bullshit! That's
all I can say about this. If I was unsure about buying this game
before, now I know the answer without a doubt. Just like with Fire
Emblem Fates Nintendo won't get one Cent for their shady censorship
practices.
Maybe I'll get a used copy of Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE, but Nintendo won't get my money.

I'm sorry for this
little rant. You may ask yourself now, what I'm talking about. Well
it's this Video from Censored Gaming.
We
already knew about the censorship of Tsubasas breasts in several
costumes, but this video shows even more stupid censorship. They also
removed highlights on her hips making them much plainer in the
process. It just looks stupid now. Also they removed the floating
Japanese Text from the music video, which robs it of much of its
atmosphere. The English version looks so much more boring then its
Japanese counterpart.
All
this proves that Nintendo has no idea who their audience is with this
game. And yes I know that Atlus is handling the localization, but
Nintendo has the last word and we all know who is responsible for
this mess.
Consequences?
Sow
what shall we do? First don't listen to people who tell you that you
need to buy the game, because otherwise Nintendo won't bring over
such games anymore. This is a stupid argument. It just means that
Nintendo is holding you at ransom with the threat of not localizing
games anymore. Next simply don't buy the game or at least buy a used
copy, so that Nintendo won't get any money for their shady
censorship. And lastly let them know directly, why you boycott the
game. Write them a mail or twitter them. Just let them know that this
censorship is not accepted. But please stay polite.
I may
sound a little bitter, but that is because I was really looking
forward to this game. It just looke so delightfully insane and
Japanese. I really wanted to give it a try. But now I can't
comfortably buy this. I can't support a company that butchers their
own product to appease some imaginary critics. You can't create a
game that lives from it's atmosphere and then continuously start to
butcher said atmosphere.
I'm not
sure who at Nintendo of America is responsible for this puritan and
backwards attitude, but he or she really needs to go.
Well
what's your opinion on this continuous censorship of Tokyo Mirage
Sessions#FE?
And as
always
Censorship
