Moonspeak Jap games censorhip general.

[Carpincho Pampeano]

Some people have been wondering lately about why jap games have started to feel more western with the inclusion of more niggers, notjews or talking about slavery like Tales of Arise and the answer is being simple, they are censored during development. Usually the jap branches contact their western counter parts and show them their character designs, story drafts etc and because most big jap studios can't sustain themselves anymore with only their domestic market they do everything in their power to appeal to western audiences.

NoA has always been shit but they were put on a short leash for a while after the disaster that was FE: Fates and Xenoblad Chronicles X going as far as removing gameplay chunks and rewritting characters, which is why some DLC of the game was never published in the west, they changed character personalities so much that they would not work with said DLC.


If there is only one version of the game censored during development, no one would notice so they started doing just that.

It's not only happening in the video games industry, manga artist have showed concern of western publishers dictating what is haram or halal for them to publish, the western market being as big as it is can easily cause manga artists to censor their own work to evade overseas publishing issues.

And i'm not even getting into the things that NISA keep pulling even now localizing works that have been out in JP for years

Feminity=cookig skills is sexist you pigs aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I wanted to talk about mostly about self censorship but feel free to use this thread to talk about new localizations that are bad, twitter trannies sperging out at shit like this.

That one is fresh from the oven.

Feel free to contribute when something new happens or old games butchered by people that think that know better.

Ps4 censorship is the worst, at least on pc you can mod back whatever you want.

Perhaps, but why does it have to be a censored shit?

For those who don't know, Tom was translating at XSeed during it's best years, after he left it became a fucking mess. XSeed now takes a whole fucking year to translate Rune Factory 5 because they wanted to add fag marriage to it, if you have the JP version don't update to version 12, the 1.3gb update that adds it to the JP version too.

You better move the thread to the JRPG sub forum soon.

Slavery is a major recurring theme in Tales of and japanese media. And NotJews are too (Unsurprisingly with all the WW2 stuff)

I mean there's a point to be made about censorship, but what are you even talking about here?

I have never played a tales of game in my life, action rpgs are not even rpgs.

Local weeb not so smug anymore after having his favorite IPs raped.

As a Finn, I am deeply offended by that sauna scene. You go to sauna naked or maybe wearing a bathing suit if you are shy.

Kinda sad that Japanese games have to be on a Nintendo platform to not get censored (though not published by Nintendo either).

Also pretty egregious that anime games get censored while sex scenes in Western games like TLOU2 or that episodic adventure game series get a free pass.

I will say all the bouncing titties and ass present in the soon-to-be-released KOF XV has been pretty jarring-- years of this stuff being suppressed in every western japanese release or games like Mortal Kombat and D2: Resurrection tarping over every exposed thigh and intentionally making all of their women characters ugly has made the occasional attractive female character really feel like a rarity.

Yeah, it's bullshit. I have no doubt that it's because animes are classified as cartoons (and cartoons=kids) while western games like above are already thrown into the "mature" category.
