AmericanBuizel Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 So, I'm wondering, if we're so pissed at the censorship for Fates, how come we're not marching down to NoA HQ with torches and pitchforks in hand and demand that they stop censoring the games as well as forcing them to treat us better?

Thane Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 When I said march down to NoA HQ, I was being literal. Right. Maybe you should start by explaining what was censored and why people should care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanBuizel Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm not even pissed at the petting mini game being removed, I'm pissed at the changing of characters' personalities, the removal of drugs and alcohol, the removal of religious references, removal of character development, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanBuizel Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Have you seen Effie's character in Fates? She was changed from this gentle giant to this b*tch that only cares about her muscles. Edited August 10, 2016 by AmericanBuizel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this? That is not censorship. How is that not censorship? If that isn't unnecessarily changing a character's personality, I don't know what is. NoA is modern day 4Kids entertainment.

AmericanBuizel Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 It's still terrible localization that should've died back in the 90s though. This is something 4Kids entertainment would've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 How about this? How is that not censorship? If that isn't unnecessarily changing a character's personality, I don't know what is. NoA is modern day 4Kids entertainment. You seem to misunderstand what censorship is. Here's the literal definition of a censor: a person who examines books, movies, letters, etc., and removes things that are considered to be offensive, immoral, harmful to society, etc. Changing Effie's character, while you could argue it being unnecessary, is part of the localization of the game. Beruka and Saizou's support falls under the same category. Localization means trying to adapt the work of fiction to a different setting where different cultural norms and values apply - it can fail terribly, or it can work. Regardless of result, it is not censorship. The only thing that really comes to mind that I would call censoring is not being able to dress female Kanna in a bath towel. If you want to raise your pitchforks for that, then go ahead, but I think I'll sit that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for exposing your true colors. right your opinion of "nintendo america censored fire emblem fates with their localization" so in addition to not understanding what localization is or its repercussions you also have no idea what censorship means. it's hard to even call this an opinion when it's just so completely wrong in every way. please go back to reddit, sf doesn't need you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
