Why did the developers censor the word "die" in FF6?
I mean, there are much worse words, and this particular word isn't that horrible at all.
It's MUCH cooler to hear AtmaWeapon say "feeble creatures, DIE!" instead of "feeble creatures, GO!". -.-

I think it was more a "come on you can't beat me anyway" thing.
Nintendo of America was pretty nuts about their censorship back in the 90's.

Back in the day, Nintendo was strict about their censorship
Idunno, I always kinda like "GO!" It made it seem like he was challenging you or something.
The worst "No Death" edit award must definatly go to:
Celes jumping off the cliff for "something to do".
(It was suposed to be suicidal)
I think "DIE!" sounds cooler; "GO!" is alright, but it's too weak for me. :cool:Quote:

I prefer "GO" but that suicide thing just confused me because I though "perked them right up" was a metaphor for killing themselves.

It should be noted that some censorship is a good thing; without it we wouldn't have "Son of a submariner!"
Still, I'm pro "die."

When I was little, I always thought he was trying to scare us away. And I guess he does look pretty scary, but unfortunately he couldn't back up his claims.
They used to censor way too much, yeah. But by the time Mario Sunshine appeared, they had already dropped their censorship rules to match those of the rest of the gaming world. It's silly to base an opinion of such a big company off one game anyway.Quote:

Why was "die" censored? This was back before games like Killer Instinct, Eternal Darkness: Santiy's Requiem and the almighty CONKER... Back when Nintendo was lauded as "family- friendly."
Heh... Shows what THEY know. ;)
It's actually amazing the difference in censorship between FFVI and FFVII.
