Celes scene censored?

[Lato]

Steam summer sale and I want to buy this game but will not buy a censored ver. Does the steam ver black out the scene where Celes gets punched in the face?

This version is based on the gba version which has the torture scene removed, but you can mod it back in

Thank you very much. Sad the devs did not care enough to offer a simple patch...
I will not be buying this game.

Over that one scene?

If I recall, it was censored in the Japanese version of FFVI GBA due to some local kidnappings that were going on at the time. They didn't bother un-censoring it on localization out of Japan or in further releases.

Yes I love that game, I grew up playing it and it is sad how poorly it has been treated over the many years.

The lag of the playstation, the censor or the GBA and moblie. I prefer to keep the good memories of one of my favorite games, not replace them with bad ones.

I can think of many reasons you would want to pass this up then, but focusing on a couple seconds of the game surprises me.

Good RPG are made up of scenes that last only a couple sec, I can think of a couple sec in Final Fantasy when a person dies...I would not want that cut out as well.

Kidnapping she's a soldier, although you'd think Japan would be sensititve about their history of how they delt with enemy soldiers.

Wait GBA? There wasn't pixel smoothing and menus like this. This is based on an iOS/Android version.

The change was made for the GBA version, and the Android/iOS version is based on that.

Indeed.

Just don't misinform people as if this is "censoring" over this particular version. Overall it is FAR less censored than the original.

Right cause less censored is still censored...
I did not make the choice to ♥♥♥♥ up that game for a grab at more sales. So I am not missleading more like asking a question about a FACT....

There are so many things I could understand you hating. I just do not understand the fixation with this one.

They added more clothes to some sprites in the original, changed "holy" to "pearl," changed "pub" to "café," and many other little things. That's in addition to the script having to have been cut down significantly to fit on the cartridge. Of all the things to criticize, retaining the scene change from Japan for the GBA is something I don't understand the focus on.

[Zunnoab #931]

Straw man arguments (which almost every arrogant meme image employs) will get you nowhere because I never said they should have left it altered. It's just silly to focus on something changed in Japan years ago while ignoring how many things are un-censored compared with the original SNES localization. If you want real bad censorship, check out this nonsense:

See the game wasn't even censored for the localization out of Japan. This is a relic from many years ago in Japan.

I'm not apologizing for it just making sure people don't stumble on this and have some impression this version is heavily censored in comparison to the SNES version when for the most part it's exactly the opposite.
