If you get this game, dont forget to download the Uncensored Patch

[ハムバッカーマン]

It's floating around.
ATLUS localization team has made many many many changes to the script and dialogue, not even pertaining to sensitive content, but names and suchs.

If you play this game, please know that most of the characters have made up names and arent the originals.

For example, The principal has no name in the japanese, but the localizers made one up, so it's non-canon.

Also Oracle's name isnt Oracle but Navi, the localizers wanted to put in some stupid batman reference.

what?

[Arifufu]

i don't care which is canon, i just want to play the game peacefully w/o overthinking which one is canon.

Correct, they didn't translate the game, they localized it. Changing stuff (within reason) to make more sense to the region you are localizing to. I'd imagine those changes are made and/or approved by the company, which would make them canon to the English version. I have no idea what the scope of those changes are, but assuming those are some of your strongest examples, this is fairly weak.

They shouldve atleast made one party member black like in Persona 1

There are times when localisation is done VERY poorly and at the cost of quality of the translation, sometimes to the point of making the 4Kids One Piece dub look accurate, but giving a character a name and changing another to one that means basically the same thing really isnt a problem.

They did. They made Ryuji black by giving him a massive donger.

Dialogue was changed in Royal from the original P5 for the purpose of being more PC.

Atlus West went on record for lobbying really hard to get their changes approved.

The Royal dialogue is less faithful to the Japanese script, which remained the same.

There exists a mod to address this all in one fell swoop.

The examples you just mentioned aren’t censorship. Changing a name isn’t censoring it. This is every localization ever.

[Ginebro]

At least there's no woke bs.

[Shinigami Miroku]

Meh, Oracle > Navi.

Of course, I grew up on Ocarina of Time, so you can probably understand my position...

IDK about calling localization changes "censorship".

its called the uncensorship pack, mostly because they removed things THEY deemed *homophobic* and added more SJW lines
