they left it uncensored for years and now they censor it , but no one had a problem with it before but now there's suddenly a problem with it?
A big problem is that they literally showed us they can take a title they sold us and censor and tamper it as they please later down the road.
Who can assure us that they won't censor in a couple of years the beach costume of Tifa for example? Who can assure us they won't tamper and censor this game as well once they made all the money they wanted from the sales?
Also
Capcom did the same stuff by adding a malicious drm to a number of old games just to fight modding.
I can't really support companies that pull this kind of bs, it's not trustworthy anymore in my books.
BTW you can't convince me that this outfit https://files.catbox.moe/wgh9rr.jpg wasn't internally censored , i've never seen a top like that with something under it before, its obvious that it originally was just the black top and someone from the ethics department came along and censored it.. Don't forget the ethics department was also the ones who demanded the devs restrict the breasts of default Tifa design as well which is why the default Tifa design is also censored compared to the OG Tifa.
its obvious that creators create something in square and then the wokes and merchants in suits in square come along and make woke demands and censorship, seems to me there's infighting between actual gamers who create games in square and woke merchants in square
I haven't bought anything from SquareEnix since they sued the guys doing the 3D Chrono Trigger remake.
Triple A is ass, and it has been for decades.
..oh that's what happened to that eh?
Good insight honestly, this is top down from the C-suite to the cultural police hires to the developers.
Reminds me of something I heard from a Japanese artist who did some work in Hollywood. They talked about how in Japan things were largely left up to the artist to create their own works, with some guidance, but when he worked with Hollywood the execs would constantly be asking for this or that minor detail to be changed for their own reasons.
That shows a difference between Japanese and American industry, at least the media industry. Japanese industry is high trust and, in general, competent. American media industry is low trust despite, or because of, everybody knowing everybody else. It's basically just a grift with a lot of control freaks and busy bodies.
The Japanese industry used to be like that .Free, high trust and meritocracy based. . But now it's becoming clear that it's becoming like the American industry and artists are no longer allowed to create their own works without woke executive meddling.
It's weird because on the one hand I understand it's 15 year old Tifa variant, not like I wanna make a huge stink about pubescent tiddies.
But at the same time, I don't want to give in to leftoid doublethink.
"Tits arent sexual! You're just a horny incel!"
"Breasts just exist and y'all wanna get horny over them"
"Stop sexualizing minors! Girls can have cleavage, that doesn't mean they're being sexual about it!"
I've seen all that and dozens more. But then what's the big deal in the first place? If women and tits aren't inherently sexual, what's the issue with teen girl simply having boobs and existing? Why are you mad about it? Why censor it?
I of course don't believe any of that, women's main weapon is sex and teen girls love showing whatever they can however they can and just like young teen boys, many have no qualms with trying to sexually attract people of any age even tho they shouldn't.
I probably wouldn't mind if the last decade of Gamergate/Leftoid Mania hadn't existed. I would agree that maybe the teen girl should have some decency.
But I know this is just doublethink leftoid puritan horseshit. So I'm against it.
Conflating a fully developed teenager with pedophilia is just the vanguard for women’s control of the sexual/dating/mating market. They want to shame high status men into settling for mid women, and that can’t happen if they alphas are always considering newer models. Society correctly draws a line at a certain age to prevent problematic outliers (undeveloped girls) and align with our institutions (high school = child). But that doesn’t mean 16 year old girls flaunting huge tits magically don’t exist.
SFO did a good bit about it, calling it "safe horny". Leftist sexuality is liberating and good, while sexuality on the other side is oppressive and sexist.
I wish people would stop buying remakes. Go play the original. FF7 is a PS1 game and looks like shit but you know what? That will give you an even bigger hit of nostalgia.
Even better, find an ISO of the PC version of FF7 and you can install all kinds of mods to make it not look like a horrendously outdated game. 7th Heaven makes things pretty easy https://7thheaven.rocks/
I’ve tried twice to play ff7. I don’t like it.
Ff7r is fun though. I’ve beaten and enjoyed 2, 3, 4, 5 (fan sub), and 6 on snes. Then I haven’t liked a final fantasy game since FF15, then 7R. 16 is dogshit with way too much gay.
They are hiring the video game design equivalent of 'senstivity readers'. At some point in these dev cycles consultants come in and 'help' make the game more buzzwordsalism. Then they get paid 100k for their extortion racket and go fuck over some other game.
And the job's existence depends on finding nonexisting problems, hence the petty censorship.
This has to suck hard working for a company with a two tier management. One tier is supposed to be your equal but they are paid more, has the ear of the other management, and openly despise your existence (wokies.) The other tier is only out for themselves so they listen to their subordinates that give them kudos for upper management or are in the same mental facilities as the wokies.
Its like buying dead or alive.. then a month later (when you cant refund) they update the game and give all the girls only burkas to wear.
It's getting harder to do this as more and more media is just straight up no longer offering a physical means of acquisition. I picked up a great little indie title a few months back and love it to death, but the only place I can seem to get it is on Steam. There's no physical CD or installation executable for purchase. This is going to become more and more common of a dilemma.
I bought Super Meat Boy: Ultra Edition at the store around 2012.
When I put the disc into my PC...cue a Steam installer.
There was no game on the fucking disc! They put all that effort into that box, the manual, and the comic it contained, but never put the actual GAME in there!
It made me sign up for Steam, and THAT'S when it let me download the damn game.
And that's how I first got Steam. I kid you not.
I'm pretty sure that's how they got me too, but it was Skyrim in my case. It's fucking devious.
This is where piracy and modding shines on PC. Once it's out, you will be able to find an old copy of game at some point and there are always people who make mods for such things. Taking assets from old files and inject them into the latest version of a game is easy.
Does anyone else have trouble with links to catbox.moe? They're always dead for me with a "site can't be reached" error.
Why are you sexualizing a teen girls breasts lil bro?? Women can just exist with tits. It's not sexual, you're just.. sexualizing it. Pedophile.
The real issue here is that they sold a product and then came back years later and changed it. Its not as bad as Capcom forcing invasive drm into old games, but still reinforces the idea that you don't really own any software you buy.
Of course, on the other hand, if purchasing isn't ownership then piracy isn't theft.
Go be a censorious faggot elsewhere.
You should be hunted for sport.
