Are you enjoying
Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE? I found a used copy yesterday because a
good friend of mine was praising the game day in day out. And I have
to agree with her sentiment. It's a good game. Very Japanese, but
also very entertaining. The gameplay is more than solid and honestly
I'm having a lot of fun so far. But sadly it's dragged down by stupid
censorship. I already covered why Censorship in such titles I just
plain stupid and I don't want to repeat myself. Still I didn't want
withhold this video. Some of you probably know Censored Gamin
already, and for those who don't, it's a Youtube Channel focusing on
localization changes and Censorship. Two days ago they put out this
video detailing all changes in the international release of Tokyo
Mirage Sessions#FE.

Now like I said I
don't want to repeat myself on this topic, but I have to say that
this video made me angry. The Censorship in this game is just all
over the place and inconsequential. This makes the whole thing even
worse. The Hot Spring DLC was removed but some Bikini Outfits
weren't. Tsubasas skin is painted white to cover her cleavage, but
another costume gives you a full view.
This kind of
censorship makes me angry because it shows a complete disregard for
the source material. Sometimes changes are necessary for different
markets, but they need to be done with sense and direction. The
patchwork localization done to Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE is a
disservice to the game.
I reached out to
Nintendo, but I'm just a random nobody, so I got a standard customer
support answer back.
In any case it's
sad to see that Nintendo has so little faith in its own game and the
audience. So what is your take away from the whole situation? Can you
still enjoy Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE or has Nintendos poor handling
of the game soured the experience?
And as always
Thanks for reading
