The X Button - Might Be Wrong

Yes, this thing with Fatal Frame is just a single example of it, but it is a pretty clear example, which is why I think many of us are commenting on it.

I wonder how long the Sony Vita will last in its lifespan. If Sony doesn't plan on creating a Vita's successor, this could be a great opportunity for the Nintendo's codename NX to pick up the slack for most of the JRPG games found exclusive on the Vita.

Honestly I could care less about the censorship of costumes.
(Actually I agree this censorship) But when it comes to censorship on blood and gore that's when things get annoying, mainly in anime they do this but if they start doing that in games it ruins the mood and makes the game feel more fake than it already is thus draining the aspect of spine chilling suspense and the overall thrill of the game.(depends on what game) And for a game like fatal frame, having fanserviced costumes will only make the game lose its sense of realality and ends up attracting the wrong audience.

The potential customers I'm referring to are general horror fans, probably folks looking for something to fill the PT void. Not moms and dads looking for the next Mario game. Not all horror game fans are fans of anime, or of moe anime, or of gravure. I'd bet most horror fans don't even know what gravure IS, and even if they do, how many are comfortable, as by-products of Western society, with sexualizing underage teenagers? That just doesn't fly in Western society.

You know, speaking of censorship and boycotts, even if that may be a policy for some, that is a personal choice individuals will have to make.

I was pissed off at Dungeon Travelers 2 being a few images away from being a perfect port. Even worse that the images they changes were actually pretty tame compared to some that made it.

But I still recommend that game because it is such a terrific game. Same with Fatal Frame.

That being said, just supporting the games doesn't mean people shouldn't let their gripes about censorship be unheard.

I just don't understand why they don't allow discerning players to use OPTIONAL costumes when they want. If they want to gate it further, just let them be downloadable for adult players.

It is a touchy subject I know, in regards to boycotts. I don't want games to go the DOAX3 route of simply ignoring the western market entirely. But at the same time, it is worth reaching out to companies to let them know we want loyal ports.

Why, why, why, is it that only sexual puritans get editor positions?

Sexual content doesn't need to have point. It's fun, and that's all it needs to be. If that makes you uncomfortable, you should probably not be an editor for an anime site. You should instead consider writing for a fundamentalist Christian site.

God, I'm typing into the void. Hypocritical culture nazis don't read comments.

If an editor actually reads this, remember, it's okay to have fun. Content in video games and media doesn't affect the real world. Crime of all types have gone down over the years, maybe in part to the media.

Also, it's time to hire people who actually like fanservice. That's your audience, why wouldn't it be your editors?

Whether or not the cut content has merit is irrelevant. Nintendo's job in localizing the game is not to judge what they deem worthy for North American and European audiences.
