The Japanese games ratings board (CERO) forbids nipples and genitals in console games, it's why eroge have the sex scenes removed when ported to consoles, and western games that have nudity get censored for the Japanese localization. They put Quinella in clothes because there's not really any way to avoid showing her nipples/crotch in a game with free camera movement, unlike the anime.

There's nothing in this game that would require censorship, it's just a case of Nintendo deciding to base the Switch version on the western Wii U release because it was the most up to date release in terms of bug fixes and wanting to do one global version of the game instead of multiple. When games with fanservice are censored on PS4 but not Switch (ie: Super Neptunia RPG, etc.) it's just because of Sony's new policies they implemented the last year and a half or so.

The nipples and vagina are covered with long hair, there is no reason for censorship. It is more until they modified the hair to adapt it to the censorship.

Yeah I watched the anime, they probably wanted to avoid a higher rating in Japan. CERO has been more strict in terms of sexual content in recent years, for example Square Enix had to censor the 3DS version of Dragon Quest 8 to avoid a higher rating even though the costumes they changed were deemed fine years ago in the PS2 release.

You can see some of their guidelines here: https://www.cero.gr.jp/en/publics/index/17/

@Xmortal CERO (Japanese game ratings) tries to be strict enough to not only cover their counties laws, but also soft enforce (as in not really enforce, you can release it in defiance of CERO without problems, so long as its only in japan) other countries laws, thats why most games that pass CERO don't have problems in other countries. However, CERO doesn't enforce everything under the sun. In this case, i tried to talk about this on siliconera before the mods decided to soft ban me for being to logical, but when they went global on wii U, they found new zealand has been banning games with sexy themes, so they most likely adjusted the game for new zealand, and rather then make one version just for them, and another for everyone else (this is not profitable) they made this one new version the global version.

the switch one being the global one makes sense, as CERO tries to makes sure all game releases would be approved globally by their ranking.

video games make adjustment to be made for a global audience all the time, that way they can make more money by releasing in more countries. The TMS censor arguments are almost entirely people getting mad because they were aware of it this time, rather then behind closed doors like usual.

Off Topic:The problem of censorship does not seem to come from entertainment companies, I think they are Japanese government policies. I am going to give an example of a game that is not going to appear on Nintendo Switch for now. The Sword Art Online game that its based on the Alicization arc of the novel and anime also has its censorship, for example, in a trailer, it is shown that Quinella has clothes, while the same scene in the anime, Quinella is naked.

no. you are wrong.

if anything, the rating board and laws of japan are much more relaxed compared to any other country.

it is the western sjw and feminists that are the ones who are prompting the censorship and the esrb and the western ratings boards that take these things into issue

@tides i would have a hard fucking time believe the USA is what made them make changes when the USA's other TMS release on mobile is not only uncensored, but even more revealing then the original JP wii U stuff.

Complain to ATLUS, this was discussed thousand times before. They did the censoring, not Nintendo or CERO, there was no obligation to do this. Can we get back to the topic?

This!
It's nothing new and had nothing to do with neither Nintendo or anyone else. It was all ATLUS.

Thanks to a user on the Discord server, we're good on saves now.

I initially thought this would be an easy undertaking, but sadly all the content has changed from Big Endian to Little Endian because of platform changes, so this is gonna be more of an issue than expected. We're currently at a standstill until we can figure out how to properly extract/repack/edit the lua and models. Textures and text strings are taken care of.

If by any chance there's anyone out there who could help us with changing things (lua + .apak models) from BE to LE, please hit us up on Discord:

Could we use the same method used to convert BOTW WiiU model/mods to BOTW Switch? If I remember correctly, it was BE to LE. I apologize it this is irrelevant. It was just a thought. I know next to nothing about coding.

Not a censorship issue, but would it be possible to fix the Pierce glitch? Atlus never patched it on Wii U, and the same will almost certainly be true for Encore.

Wrong,
Nintendo is the publisher, not Atlus.

Is it literally just an endianness difference? Format's are otherwise identical? That should be easy enough to do
