So the censorship rumors were...

[BEOWULF]

True or not?

1. Multiple costumes (all female characters) have been made less risque.
2. There is a hot springs scene which is completely removed from the game on Sony platforms. It is not plot significant, but it is still removed. The area still exists but one scene from there is gone.
3. Associated costumes (bath towels) that are earned by seeing the hot springs scene in question are completely removed.
4. The gender symbols (in the ingame language) on said hot spring’s doors have been removed.
5. There is an optional scene where the female characters make sexual remarks towards each other. This entire scene is removed.
6. There is a scene where one of the male characters walks in on one of the female characters, and it is implied that he sees her naked, though nothing is shown in any version. In the Playstation versions however, the dialog is different and the sexual implications are removed.
7. A weapon carried by one of the NPCs has had it’s design changed. I’m not entirely sure what the reasoning is behind this one.
8. There is a scene where an enemy punches one of your female characters. In the PS version, she dodges out of the way but still falls down.
9. A dialog choice has been altered. There is a flamboyant character (I don’t think it’s ever specified that he’s gay, but it’s heavily implied) who in other versions, you have the option of questioning his flirting towards you. But in the PS versions, this dialog is changed to you just calling him annoying.

Yes, Bandai Namco denied it but what else were they supposed to say?

Thats interesting because on another forum they had a giant thread about people complaining about said Onsen scene and the guys in the party spying on the girls with the usual Japanese anime "humor" and how inappropriate such scenes are in todays climate.

They wrote its a optional scene you can trigger so maybe you just missed it?
Its definitely real, i saw the video and its from the English version.

Nope, been watching every single skit, doing every single side quest and everything. SO i'ts either a post game thing, or all that was just a ruse.

Yeah, with that costume is definetly post game/post story. I'm not there yet, tho i happen to know about the Shionne costume cause i spoiled myself out of it while watching screenshots...

I'm walking into the final boss now. I've done the hot springs quest. So no, it's not post game. I simply did every side quest up until now and it popped up after I finished my last one. They were my 66th and 67th side quests.

I just got the lunar whale equivalent of this game, so i'm not near the end boss yet.
Just started to reveal Dohalim's past, if that's clue enough without spoiling anything for others.
To be perfectly clear, i never denied that the scene exists, i just said that i haven't seen it in 60 hours.

Defeat the 5 bosses that came down to dahna. You will know it when you see it. The hotspring quest pops up in cyslodia after that.

You dont need to clear the game for it to pop up, but the bosses are pretty difficult, and you will most probably clear the game first before clearing thoese bosses.

Yeah one of the damn things is lvl 70... Will take a while since i've been doing next to 0 grinding..

So as suspected this was someone crying wolf? and there is no actual source regarding this supposed "censorship?"

I mean, most of the time it's exactly that... I don't recall any tales games being censored at any point, and i have em all played to oblivion. I mean, they let Velvet's costume as it was originally designed untouched, why would they change it now?
Those people probably got the info from resetera or something idk.

Eh, I took the Wind Tower boss out at 56, he was the 70 one. Did Gnome (Earth) last. All on hard mode with zero grinding/DLC. I had done every other sidequest up to the point you're at, and then proceeded forward with the story until reaching what was obviously the final boss, then backtracked and did the rest of the sidequests. Saved Gnome for my very last quest. You won't need to grind, I assure you.

Since i unlocked chaos diff i insist in playing on that difficulty, so going against that kind of level difference is kind of a "no-no" in this case xD

Berseria actually was censored. A single scene early on was changed to keep the the rating in Europe.

The source was even worse than resetera. It was a single idiot on 4chan and folks here fell for it hook and sinker.

Berseria is old. The censor craze from Sony on Japanese games didn't start then.

Berseria is from 2016, it's not that old, there has been movements trying to censor videogames since 2010, and even before that, but everything started to go to hell when Sarkesian showed up with her BS.

I mean, Kisara's bikini DLC is at least as revealing as Velvet's outfit.

Eh, every country including Japan censors things. I have no point other than just to say it happens.
