Popular Post Dav9834 Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) It's come to my attention that FFVIII Remaster will be censored to a degree. As someone who's against censorship in games. Especially when it's censorship that doesn't go against any laws, this is unnecessary. Is Siren the only censored piece in the game? We won't know fully till we find it. Classic beloved games should never be censored. I will say Siren does look cooler on ps4 now though. But it was unnecessary. What else will we find when the game releases? Share what you find, I will add as necessary! +Rinoas outfit was very very mildly changed in comparison to Siren.

HuntingFever Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Rihona has had her top redesigned to hide what little cleavage was on display and I might be confusing this with the PS1 version but I believe the blood has been turned green in a particular scene so it doesn't look like blood.

Popular Post ExHaseo Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 It looks more redesigned than "censored". You even say yourself that it looks better. It's not always about censorship. They probably just didn't like the old design and changed it. Just like they changed the designs for FFVII Remake. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadrael Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 if the opening when squall got his scar turned the blood green then im sure will not even think about VII remake. Didnt wanted to buy VII remake in the first place and see what the butcher but if the starting censoring the old ports then there is no hope for the remake.

Popular Post damon8r351 Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 IDGAF, it's still a Final Fantasy game and no amount of crotch coverup will change that. You lot act like Final Fantasy censorship is new. Fun Fact: When Final Fantasy VI was localized for North America as Final Fantasy "III", numerous changes were made. For instance, the Siren Esper's bare ass was covered up. Town signs that said "Bar" were changed to "Cafe". The Holy spell was changed to "Pearl" because it was a religious allusion. Several dialogues from Kefka were softened: instead of "Go! Kill them!" he says, "Go! Get them!"; instead of saying "Then you can burn to death!", he says "Then welcome to my barbeque!". And of course, the most famous line of all, "Son of a submariner!", was not in the original script, because he says something a lot more profane. Like the Japanese version of "Son of a bitch!" or "Damn it!". Anyway, this is manufactured outrage, something to write about and get mad about because it was a slow news day when it broke. You folks are falling for it hook line and stinker. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadrael Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Its one thing back then but this is a port in the end, the games got their fair share of censorship back then. no one can tell me that back then we were able to be alright if society and everything but now we degraded and cant take the same stuff from 20 years ago? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvick_ Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I strongly disagree it looks better... she looks terrible. I can understand (but still disagree with) the censorship since it always looked like Siren and Shiva were sporty some massive bush, even when I was what... 10 or whatever age I was when I played the game. But this is hardly how you fix it. It looks awful. Also don't like how pointy her face is, the rounded face looks better. How is she supposed to lure in men, as a Siren does, when she looks like she'll murder you straight up? Here's Rinoa btw Going to look really stupid unless they redid the CG. But PSone-PS2 era FF was very much inconsistent between field/battle/CG models so that's not really a new thing. Then again FFVI was the only game not inconsistent since it used the same character sprites for field and battle and the other 2D games had different sprites for field and battle. But when it's avoidable... like here, why? 3 minutes ago, Vadrael said: Its one thing back then but this is a port in the end, the games got their fair share of censorship back then. no one can tell me that back then we were able to be alright if society and everything but now we degraded and cant take the same stuff from 20 years ago? It's silly. We should be getting the original intact releases of older games that got censored, instead we get older games more censored than before. *sigh* I guess companies don't care about piracy, because this is sure going to keep it a viable option for consumers who want their content uncensored. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't make sense to me. Are you saying it was ok to censor because we were more uptight back then, and the internet didn't exist in the capacity to allow us to complain? Because that's what I got from it. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadrael Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I mean that we were alright back then but the developer says now that we cant handle it if we get the same version from 20 years ago. i think that not right. work on graphic but leave everything except graphic like it was, i can handle squalls bleeding face, but if its green then im not sure how to handle that science fiction alien Sh*t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't possibly believe they would do any work like that for fun. I'm not outraged(unless there is indeed green blood because that's F'ing ridiculous), but why censor anything from a 20 year old game? Are we that more delicate now? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it broke as a story then obviously people noticed and cared... or the people who noticed would have not made it news by talking about it. Since they a) wouldn't have noticed b ) even if they did notice they wouldn't have cared to mention it. Self defeating logic there. I'm a gay man so explain to me why I care about pointless censorship like this. I'll wait. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vadrael Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 Its about principles,at least it is for me. I think that if we accept censorship now then even if it is small then we will have a harder fight later on when they censor big stuff like freedom of speech. And yes i know thats not comparable but its my logic and my point of view so i dont see much of a difference since censorship is censorship no matter the size. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecharobot Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It does seem weird considering the uncensored game is still available at both PSN and Steam. In these parts of the internet though, people mostly care about adding the plat to their collection so they're fine with anything. Sucks for the Switch users, though.

MyNameIs_Rainman Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I get why people are arguing about censorship, but I think here we are seeing simple re-imaginations of those characters/outfits/etc. Rinoa's top is minimally changed, I can't see that as being some form of censorship, the design just looks cleaner. As far as Siren goes, I don't see the fuss. She still plays the same, does the same thing, gameplay using Siren is not impacted in any way. It changes nothing in the game except for me to be able to see a digital woman creature less naked than before. I honestly think the new look is more tasteful. I've played some games where there are censorship issues, and things were downright removed or deleted. That I can see being an issue, as the original concept is now being cut and pasted, but what I'm seeing here, or fog covering the tits in a Neptunia game, doesn't bother me. There's way too much good in the game to let something non-gameplay or non-technical impede my enjoyment of it. I'd still enjoy Neir Automata if she was wearing shorts under there and it wasnt just underwear exposed because it changes nothing fundamentally about the game. I'm going to play it and love it, just like I did when I was younger. And didn't notice Siren's bush when I was younger anyways, hell, I barely used the GFs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like how the original was unplayable because it had Rinoa ribcage and some GF bush so they had to change it to be playable today. The original was such shit I don't get why they'd even bother to re-release it. Such a horrible unplayable game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShadeSplit Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 You cannot reason with the "who carez" crowd. If someone doesn't understand simple concepts such as integrity or freedom, then you're just wasting your time trying to explain why censorship is wrong. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
