On top of that, wasnt the acronym to BLADE changed as well since it had religious affiliation?
Also Fatal Frame 5 got censored, why does an M rated game need to be censored?
The game has plenty of "religious affiliation" that relates to similar events in many places in real life around the world. I mean, plenty.
Maybe it's because the main character looks like a high schooler instead of a 19 year old girl? Not to mention, there's a certain scene where you can literally film the main character in whatever costume she's wearing (and there are some costumes that aren't exactly appropriate and may cause some serious problems).
Look, from how I see it, it wouldn't matter if Nintendo put a bit of censorship or not. They'll become news from multiple articles in multiple places and then people start going crazy over them, negatively, if the games have censorship or not. I dislike censorship as much as the next guy, but, really, as long as the game is fun, I don't mind it much. The only time I do mind it a lot is when it affects the gameplay as a whole and you're not getting much of the meat on the plate. I had plenty of fun with Fatal Frame 5. The whole censorship thing didn't exactly remove much of anything, like the whole gameplay aspect. Just changes like costumes, which don't even affect much of the gameplay, really. Besides, I'd rather have games come over more to the West than to worry about something like censorship. I know that some people don't share the same views as I do, but, hey, at least we're getting the games, right? Plus, Bayonetta 2 has PLENTY of sexy stuff and Nintendo and Platinum Games didn't bother to change any of that and kept the game how it's supposed to be like with the original game. It's not just Nintendo that decides to add in censorship. The developers of the games also make the decision, as well. There are times when it's just the developers that make the decision by themselves, without Nintendo, to put in censorship. There are some rules and regulations for both the developers and/or Nintendo that they have to follow or they would end up in trouble. Sometimes, they just can't help it, no matter how much you asked them not to put in censorship for localization.
Anyway, that's how I feel about the matter with censorship. Xenoblade Chronicles X is still one hell of an amazing game and I love it. Censorship didn't stop me from enjoying the whole game as it only changed a few things that don't really affect the game much, at all. If you don't like the censorship, you may as well try and learn how to read Japanese and start importing games. Playing a game and not understanding much of the language it's showing doesn't exactly give you the best experience you can have with the game. Using your "intuition" to play games in a different language you can't read isn't exactly as fun as playing the same games with a bit of censorship, but you can clearly understand how to play the game well.
