Board 8 > Do you get triggered by fanservice-reducing redesigns?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Went on /v/ a few minutes ago. They're all up in arms about anime waifus from FE13 and Xenoblade 2 getting redesigned to show less skin for some Smash or gatcha game or something. Calling it censorship as if it impacts anything other than their ability to masturbate.

what a dumb thing to freak out about
---

there are some legitimate censorship/regional changes-related issues out there but this certainly isn't one of them, lol
---

Are there comparison images?

I mean, it is censorship, but who cares.

Probably, but this is the best I got:

BTW, the latter pic's encircled area is actually unchanged in the censorship.

If anything these changes don't go far enough in most cases. I don't want to have to explain to my girlfriend or wife that I'm playing a legitimate strategy game when she sees me blowing on some anime girl's face

What the fuck do people have against clothes

I will always complain about redesigns that make a character look worse

But in this case I think both of those are improvements
---

that said you you give a fictional character a feather, and then take that feather away before the game is finished with development I will start a WAR with a NATION

i love lewds so of course i prefer the lewds

just give us dlc ya dumbos, i'm sure these people wouldn't even mind paying for it

thankfully I know enough japanese to tolerate import option!

I'd be upset if Mythra was a playable character and they redesigned her but this just isn't worth the energy to even complain about. It's a jpeg in a side mode that most people likely won't be playing past the first month or two after launch.

I will say it's a bit odd to be seeing this from the recently very sex-positive Nintendo, though! Figure it's most likely because Smash has an E10+ rating.

Wait, what has Nintendo done recently that was sex positive?

Everything in Bayonetta 2
Everything in Xenoblade 2
Everything in Hyrule Warriors
Clothing destruction/fanservice-heavy designs in Fire Emblem Heroes
Link's pelvis, Zelda's insane booty, Urbosa's... everything and the crossdressing in BotW
(Japan exclusive) Allowing ecchi visual novels totally uncensored on the Switch while Sony is censoring them on PS4

These are just the big examples but Nintendo generally speaking seems to be embracing fanservice lately.

I remember nothing of the sort o_O

Fire Emblem Heroes used* to be E10+ and had Camilla wear this during launch:

So the Camilla image should have still been good for E10+.

*Fire Emblem Heroes got rerated at T later on but it is suspected that this happened because they started releasing units that are just wearing swimsuits since that's around the time the rating changed.

Not even its initial antagonist?

Those redesigns are improvements

No, because there are so many other options for people to let loose to.
