Does this game show Celes getting hit?

My understanding is that scene has been removed / has not been in the game, specifically the Japanese version, in the last 15 years.

Though this version appears to be a bit more moddable, so someone could add in a scene of Celes getting punched if you'd like.

Thank you. I will not be buying this censored game. If the company doesn't even believe in their work why should I.

This is such a infantile stance.

I mean, at least they are sticking to their guns and not buying something they otherwise wanted to buy, unlike plenty of others who will say "This cannot stand!" but happily play the game anyway.

It's such a minor thing, it's absurd.

I may have to purchase this version just to make a mod for Vargas's chest to right this foul wrong.

Yeah they just basically taunt her and tell her the date of her execution.
I think it makes the scene weaker but it's their decision not mine and it's a minor thing.

It has also been this way since the GBA version, right? I can't remember if the PS1 version had the punch or not.

I think it did, the board rating and the kidnappings were the two things that lead to it. It's why there was a scene in FF XII we got that the Japanese didn't (with penelo getting taunted by her captors).

Thanks for clarifying.

Finally something I can get behind on this board!

"Skip this paragraph for mild spoilers if you haven’t played Final Fantasy VI, but one of the changes that comes with this Pixel Remaster is the censorship of the scene where Celes is held prisoner by the empire. In the original she’s beaten by the imperial troops while chained to the wall. In some subsequent re-releases they removed the beating, including this one. This is an unfortunate decision for a couple of reasons. The first is the scene just looks goofy when it plays out this way, with Celes standing there while being told this is what happens to those who betray the empire. She then collapses for no reason. More importantly, removing this undermines the fact she’s a strong and capable general. In 1994 there weren’t a ton of strong female characters in games, and the resolve she showed during this scene cemented Celes as one of the few. She was one of the highest-ranking generals in the empire and committed treason when she realized how horrible they were. She didn’t waver in her resolve despite being chained, beaten and facing execution. She didn’t hold her tongue or show any weakening of her conviction. Conversely, not only did this cement her as one badass woman, but it also showed just how ruthless the empire can be. Softening this scene undermines both of those points and reduces Celes to a damsel in distress that needs Locke to save her."

People can defend censorship as much as they want, censorship is bad and this proves it...

Yes it's the censored one, afaik every version after PS1 was. It's whatever though. If a couple of scenes keep you from playing the game then you probably didn't really want to play it. There's plenty of games out there with gratuitous violence and nudity if that's what you're looking for.

...And you totally ignore the original meaning behind why censors is bad and you pretend it's just "People need violence, they can get it elsewhere". Awesome. Censoring is bad and it removes powerful meanings that were originally intended. Those okay with censorship are also okay with destroying those meanings in order to not offend the thin skinned people. Jeez...

It's a goofy change but it is such a small part of the game, this is a 60+ hour game and that scene is like 30 seconds of the game.
