Yggdra Union Censorship, possibly Riviera?

[Hinamina]

I just cant get hyped anymore these days. I always have to worry because everyone keeps butchering jrpgs. Yggdra Union also released censored on steam. I really hope this game comes out untouched.

Japanese Switch release has the swimsuit version of the bathing scenes, but in case of Riviera, Japanese releases were always "censored" (EDIT: Japanese WSC and GBA releases weren't censored).
I'm also hoping for no-swimsuit version of bathing CGs and portraits, not because I want to see nakedness in games that badly (you can find those CGs and portraits online without problem), but because I want to see them released in "HD" as well.
Both swimsuit and no-swimsuit versions are precious and have been drawn by Sunaho Tobe Sensei. The more Riviera art, the better and some of the characters actually look better in the swimsuit version (the portraits are completely different, not just censored), so I recommend people looking them up.

So does this game have censorship?

I'm curious as to what images they use for the springs as well.

Hello, Question here to not make another thread , I dont know that much about this game, I played originally the Game Boy Advance version and now I have the PSP version (not played it but I have it), is there any point it getting this one? apart of just having everything in steam/collectionism?

None, there is little point in owning both PSP and GBA versions, should save the money and got Summon Nights.

Shame.

are the springs images the only one that where altered? And is that a single scene?
Thankyou

There are two bathing scenes (after Chapter 3 and 4) with different characters (portraits) and CGs.
They weren't exactly "altered", because the modern Switch/iOS/Android/Steam remake is based mostly on the Japanese PSP Special Edition version, which had the swimsuit version of the bathing scenes.
I was hoping that maybe they would use the version without swimsuits on Steam (especially considering the nudity warning), but unfortunately they didn't.
Nevertheless, both versions can be found on youtube.

This version has:
1. a lot of quality of life improvements (including multiple modes of gameplay and difficulty levels)
2. an option to recolor sprites to match the portraits (drawn by Sunaho Tobe Sensei) for the first time since the initial WonderSwan version
3. portraits of demons colored for the first time (previously they were single-colored)
4. multiple sound sources to choose from.
5. Dialogue Log and and an option to change voices between English and Japanese mid-game
and more: https://i.imgur.com/vW8IRzI.png

So in my opinion it's worth buying, especially if you want to see other Sting/Dept. Heaven remakes/games released in English.

I don't care that the scenes were changed, I was just curious.

I'm pretty sure modders can find a way to replace the illustrations, though.

Funny enough i can't even find out what the censored scenes look like on youtube, I only see the ones where they are unclothed

Interesting that GBA art is present in game resources. There is none from original PSP release though, as far I can see.

English release uncensored, Japanese censored. And it happened with two different games. My expectations are thoroughly subverted.
