The art book for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE appears to be censored - Pure censorship madness

I (Robin Ek, TGG) didn´t know that the Western version of Atlus "Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE" art book had been censored in the West. Well, that seems to be the case, I´m afraid. So this is my take on that matter

Yi-Long3242d ago

Even censoring and butchering artbooks now. A new and pathetic low.

Littil_Devil3242d ago

I wonder what they will censor next? As there seem to be no limits in their mind when it comes to censorship...

TGG_overlord3242d ago

Only Nintendo´s and Atlus own imagination will set the limits for what´s going to be censored next.

cleft53242d ago

All of the censorship this game is receiving has killed my interest in it as anything other than a rental. Sad too because I was really excited for the game.

Simon_the_sorcerer3242d ago

This is messed up...So I take it that we have to import art books as well now? (you know, to avoid censorship in the West?).

TGG_overlord3242d ago

I´ve already seen jokes about it on Twitter, so my advice would be that you (and others) start to learn Japanese. Then import everything directly from Japan.

Man I am sick of this garbage. Why's the game rated T? Teens can't handle cleavage and bathing suits? Why even go to that effort to remove artistic freedom? Seriously, Nintendo WTF do you actually think will happen if you leave cleavage in your game? I'll tell you what, absolutely nothing you idiots!

Anybody who is already interested in this game is going to buy it and even if they weren't I doubt they'll base not wanting it off the cleavage. You treat your consumers like babies. Oh no SJWs are so against female objectification and tropes in games that we better cover up this cleavage that magically makes the character different somehow and those SJWs will instantly want to buy the game.

I'm sorry, I never thought I'd say this but I think the industry would be better off without Nintendo as a publisher. I really doubt this level of censorship would be seen on any other platform.

LOL_WUT3242d ago

And to think I wanted a mature title from them smh ;)

CrimsonWing693242d ago

what's interesting is they gave us Bayonetta...but then they censor Fatal Frame, Fire Emblem, and this.

deafdani3241d ago (Edited 3241d ago )

Why are you singling Nintendo out? They aren't the only ones that censor japanese games when they localise them. In fact, plenty of other companies do the same.

Also, do you know for a fact that it was Nintendo who censored this game, and not Atlus themselves?

You said it yourself: if Nintendo, as a company, were so prudish as people make them out to be... how do they explain them funding and publishing Bayonetta 2? Heck, even Hyrule Warriors has a lot of cleavage, and that's a game that handles the Zelda license, and Nintendo was fine with that...

CrimsonWing693241d ago

Yea I'm pretty sure it's Nintendo of America censoring these games. They seem to be the worst offenders consistently. Bravely Second, Fatal Frame, Xenoblades Chronicles X, Fire Emblem, Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

There's no rhyme or reason except to keep a family friendly image that Nintendo seems to aim for. God forbid a T rated or M rated game have a little sex appeal on their console. Gotta attract more people that could care less about the game I guess...

gamer78043242d ago (Edited 3242d ago )

I'm done with Nintendo for a while. All they seem to be doing is the enablement of censorship lately.

The only way to make change is to start voting with your wallets

TGG_overlord3242d ago

Correct, as that´s the only language which they seem to understand perfectly.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3242d ago (Edited 3242d ago )

Don't care about it. I am getting the game digitally. This isn't gonna take away my enjoyment.

Me neither. Deleted it. Robocop is clearly more my level.

It's pretty damn good. I'm about 16 hours into it. Lots of secrets and mysteries. I'm on day 14 I think. Still haven't beaten it. Gotten very close a few times. Unlocked many secrets already. Instead of writing down things, I usually take pictures with my Playstation and write on them using the editor, its very fast. There is a small element of luck, but mostly it's about learning and planning and solving puzzles that are bigger than the one room you're in or the item you're looking at. There are so many secrets that some players will never know unless you put in the time and learn and pay attention. It's an eerie and mysterious puzzle game. I think it's addicting and a lot of fun. 9/10

I just got to day 4. First 2 days I started going into it blind, and just trying to remember by memory but got overwhelmed pretty quickly. Got a handy dandy notebook and my notes will definitely help in the long run.

Been enjoying it so far, but with Oblivion dropping and me stupidly picking it up, might take a hit to my playtime on Blue Prince.

I like that critical thinking and puzzle solving go hand in hand, and you're not having your hand held the whole time.

jznrpg7h ago

No game is for everyone. We all have different tastes, some have broader taste some have more specific taste and it’s ok either way. Play what you like!

Christopher7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

***The problem is, the game tells you absolutely nothing about what you’re actually supposed to do.***

Getting to room 46 itself is a puzzle and the whole game tells you to solve puzzles.

***But how do you know if something in a room actually has meaning?***

It's a puzzle game. It's not just going to hand you the answer. I guess this is the point where we get to people who want an NPC to tell them how to solve the part of a puzzle and the people who truly want to figure out the puzzle for themselves.

This makes me feel like some gamers are becoming more like my nephews, they're not solving problems, they're just looking for youtube videos of people who have solved them and following what they did.

P.S. Please don't write another first paragraph like the one in this again. It really sets a tone that you don't know what you're doing.

I am not surprised imo because it felt like that for awhile.

S2Killinit6d ago

Truth is that it was always sort of a lie. You were getting a couple of “day one” per year but they had trained people to think they were going to get all games day one.

GhostScholar6d ago

That is just false. It was never even eluded to that any games other than first party would be day one. Also it’s only April and we’ve already got more than “a couple” day one games.

TheEroica6d ago

What a misinformed comment... As bad a take as I've read in a while.

InUrFoxHole6d ago

Cmon guy. You really believed all games were coming day one when they've always said 1st party only?

S2Killinit6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

They did it really carefully, i didnt say they ever said “all games are day one” but they created an impression like that was the case. For instance nowhere did people actually see a list of day one games in articles or from MS’s mouth, but they kept saying “all first party” as if the number of day one games was something amazing. Truth is that they were getting a couple of games per year max on average. (Not sure what its like now)

@GhostScholar
Again, not sure what you got this year. But honestly is it even remotely worth it? Also, they get “day ones” on PSPlus as well, just not first party, and they are not paying $20/month for it.

FinalFantasyFanatic6d ago

It's not like they could do any differently, it takes a lot of money to keep the Gamepass monster fed, to put the majority of games on there day one is just going to drain too much money. They may have considered it at one point to try and kill off Playstation/Nintendo, but it's not a viable long-term strategy.

That's an interesting way to interpret it I suppose.
