Ryuji Censored?

[Vargias]

Did they remove the japanese flag on his shoes? really?
It's a game that takes place in Japan you should expect to see things related to Japan.
Why is this a thing? Seriously it's dumb and pointless

Agreed. However I believe gamebananna or however its spelled has a mod up to restore the Raidou outfit. Its the same site where you can get all those alt characters/skins for Unreal Tournament.

i legit didn't know that was a thing shame on me

They also changed the almighty icon.

[Lucky]

Eh, I never really look at shoes on game characters so it doesn't bother me. Though, the removal of Raidou DLC kinda made me upset. I never used the costume, I just don't like removal of stuff

And that is why mods are a MUST for those kind of games.

I wouldn't say it's dumb and pointless. There is a very legitimate reason it was done. I do think it could have been handled better though. Perhaps alter the censoring based on the location of the person downloading the game. I'm sure there will be mods in the future that add those things back in if that's your preference.

yeah Japanese rising sun flag is cool but people are too sensitive nowadays.

Censorship is never ok, they could have censored the game for S Korea only, not make everyone else suffer lmao

Can't wait to uncensor the woke conversation from P5R to P5 with mods. You know the one.

[censoring me is a bad move]

weird how the censorship apologists went quiet and submissive. kek.

You're literally necroing dead threads. Id recommend no one take this posters bait. Very clearly an alt account trolling.

It's not though. It's making South Koreans upset so it gets deleted for everyone.

No, it's not the Japanese flag.

It's the imperial rising sun motif.

It's the japanese equivalent of the swastika.

It's even considered taboo to have it nonchalantly used in media in Japan, let alone in Korea where Japan attempted to genocide them and their culture during that period.

If it was just the red circle that would be one thing, but it was specifically the sunburst design used by imperial japan up through World War 2.

Yeah, I sure cant see delinquent Ryuji doing something taboo in society, that would be totally unlike him and the rest of the gang.
