I know right, ? but its how it is maan, Japan censorship on video game rules :/ (shrug)
Wish Jet girls Dev added a uncensored option for this..

Sidenote : Around 2000s, Japan's Video game world use to be ok with nudity or uncensored nipples ..

[Doctrine Dark]

It was pre censored to get onto the PS4. So even tho it was moved to steam the damage was already done. I only brought it to support Honey Parade Games and show there was support for them on PC

I know right !?
but its how it is maan, Japan censorship on video game weird rules :/
they have to censor it on video games but not on shows 🤷

Nudity scenes in this game version will be permanent censored behind that stupid light or whatever convenient censor effects..

Wish Jet girls Dev added a uncensored option for this (at least for PC version only instead of only remain as mod )

Sidenote : If someone didnt know this so..., Around before 2000s, Japan's Video game world use to be ok with nudity or uncensored nipples ..

Not even, in SK the dresses will break and eventually all that is covering the girls is a light (that is actually explained to be a secret shinobi techniqe in one of the games), this game doesn't has dress break at all, it's not lewd in the slightest. This is due to Sony.

DAMN YOU SONY!!!!!!

You will never see the level of nudity that was in the anime in a Japanese console game. That isn't a Sony problem. CERO has never allowed depictions of nudity or sex. They allow "implied" nudity, such as the laser glows over boobs.

Sony -- since moving to America -- no longer allows "implied" nudity in Japanese developed games. So the removal of dress break like mechanics *is* a Sony problem.

I know it's confusing. Just remember there are 3 rating agencies in Japan.

CERO (Computer Entertainment Rating Organization) -- Responsible for rating console releases, not PC version despite their name.

EOCS (Ethics Organization of Computer Software) -- Responsible for rating PC releases, mostly they rate eroge. As such, they allow full nudity and sex as long as it's censored in compliance with Japanese indecency laws (i.e., mosaics).

Eirin (Eiga Rinri Kikou) -- Responsible for film (and perhaps TV). They allow far more graphic content than CERO, for far lower ages groups.

Also remember that Sony have Japanese developers by a death grip. If they don't develop and release on Sony first, they're screwed. It's unfortunately not as easy as "Just don't buy on Sony systems". As Japan rarely gets multiplatform releases -- those only happen when a western release occurs. Comments a couple of years ago by disgruntled Japanese developers implied that this was due to Sony's contracts for the region.

Didnt you alll seen that twitter post i shared?
Japan use to be ok with uncensored nipples in video games in past..

How is it OK in TV shows and wrong in video games?

This is seriously something I'd like to watch a 2 hour Netflix documentary about.

Ask that to dumb CERO's team 🤷

If there was a chance, if only if CERO was reformed ...

You obviously didn't see Senran Kagura Shinovi Master, the last TV series put out. It had lots of nudity.
Also, this is basically an anime racing game. They were more than likely trying to target a wider audience. If you lower the age rating you can capitalize on a Mario Kart crowd.
This is an example of what they were probably thinking, not a defense.

No, this game in japan was made exclusively for the PS4, and Sony California which is filled with puritanic SJWs, controls what japanese developers can put in their games, this is why Senran Kagura 7 might never happen or if it happens it will also be extremely neutered unless they can get away from Sony and make it for Switch insted. This has nothing to do with CERO or age ratings in general as it would be just as lewd as any Senran Kagura game if Sony wouldn't interfere.

That's actual nudity you are talking about, Senran Kagura games have none of that, the last one, Peach Ball on Switch has the most nudity you can have on consoles in japan, aka no nipples and no genitals. The reason that this game is so heavily toned down compared to Senran Kagura is Sony, not CERO.

I already explained. Different rating agencies. There is no unified standard. That said, lewd anime is always attacked when it's shown on Japanese TV. Every time such a show is aired late night (around 3am) it will get a handful of complaints. Sadly, that's enough for it to potentially be pulled from air permanently.

The only safe place for adult content is video release. Which is why anime companies decided to use self-censorship of TV broadcasts as an advertising gimmick to push sales of uncensored BDs. The problem with this is the obscene price of those BDs. A single 2 episode disc will set you back between 70 and 100 USD. Now imagine there's at least 12 episodes. That's 6 discs... And at least 450 odd USD (once tax is also applied).

And such games were release before CERO existed. There's been several re-releases of old games that had to have the nudity removed in order to secure the mandatory CERO rating. PC releases are the only ones where a CERO rating is not mandatory.

Off course they would censor it :/ . But strangely they still somehow censor it for PC version too like Senran games and other similar like that instead of toggle option.

And yet they say 'Japan doesnt censor nudity on PC' :/.
