Beware: the game is censored.

[MAKAIT]

With the preorders opening today I want to warn potential buyers that the game is censored.

According to the official videos published by KT, multiple costumes are censored with black mist or with added fabric. Like with Lucy's multiple outfits. The classic, for example, has black smoke censorship and the green outfit has additional fabric to cover her thighs. All other skirts are censored.

With how much expensive the game is, especially with the added DLC, I thought that costumers are entitled to know about that. It's a scum tactic that even the DLC outfits that you pay for are censored.

I'm personally boycotting the game knowing that all these changes are self-imposed by KT itself. Because games like The Legend of Heroes, and potentially the upcoming EDENS ZERO, have non censored similar outfits.

Another reminder that KT added a day 1 censorship patch to the first game despite official promises to release the game uncensored. So even if this censorship doesn't bother you, KT may apply additional censorship day 1. Please be wary and wait, at least a couple of days after release, before buying.

First time hearing about the added fabric, but the black mist is back as seen in the TGS footage (at around 2:35:20)

Guess they still at it with the censorship. All that to appease this mythical "modern audience" that cries constantly., It's sad that Japanese devs are forced to censor their games let alone the other part, where translations are completely butchered with cringe dialogue so that the simple minded amongs the anime community can cope with the dialogue because apparently Japanese culture gives them a mental breakdown.

It seems unlikely to me that someone in the "anime community" would have serious beef with Japanese culture in general. There is such a thing as life choices, right?

same thing happened to stellar blade . either way i wont be buying this one not after the first one was done dirty. i no longer believe the promises these devs make lol

Actually a lot of the localizers and Translators feel the Japanese way of things problematic when ti comes to cultural views and they sure ainý hidding it.

The Japanese still believe in gender roles and two genders which most "modern audience" can't cope with.

You seem pretty ignorant about what kinda people work behind the scenes forcing mass censorship. Most of the censorship comes from Localizers/Translators finding things problematic.

There was even a video which i sadly can't find anymore where the Japanese were accused of not being inclusive enough for not speaking English and not accommodating to forgeiners.

Like with the first Fairy Tails game it will now be censored after launch to get in those early sales and then screw over buyers.

I'm sorry, it's my fault, I opened my big, dumb mouth without considering that we did not exist within the same reality. It's not you, it's me.

If you want to make peace, I'll be at my house on Earth-5.

Now, let's not be rude. I'll wish you a good day and you can wish me a good day as well in return and we can just not throw nastiness at one another's stupid/handsome face.

I understand this is very personal and technically personally identifiable information but if you are entirely willing to you can tell me what continent you live on or nearest to and I'll be on my way as I have a feeling it may explain a number of things.

Or you can continue to be nasty impotently as I walk away and stop giving you my undeserved attention. I'm sure you don't really care either way but I won't assume.
