I enjoyed my time with the demo today.
The one time Europe gets something significantly earlier than America and of course I can't take advantage of that. Thanks for the region locking Nintendo, it was a sensible and productive policy that in no way engenders ill feelings.
What do you all think about this?
Bravely Default Censored For Western Release - IGN
As long as it doesn't affect the overall storyline that much, then I'm not too bothered. Those costumes are pretty scandalous.

You know they had to do it if they wanted the right rating. Also, I'm pretty glad they did. The censored outfits look way more tasteful.>>> Too bad, I dont have a DS..

Not surprised, so far and hopefully this isn't too spoiler y, it's very sexual and dodgy.
It doesn't affect the gameplay so I don't mind. The newer costumes look better anyway (IMO).
Ringabel is supposed to be this super womanizer, right? In the Japanese version he's 15. That's pretty alpha but I can understand why they changed it for the West.
Nope. His is the only age unchanged from the JP version.
The outfits are fine. However censorship is pretty bad here for videogames in the west.
Edea's censored outfit is called the "Battle Bikini". It was going to be worn as part of a beauty contest in the city filled with women. Anges uses her vestal garb, so Edea uses the bikini. Is the fact she is scantily clad particularly offensive?

I'm not saying it has to, but it was unavoidable if they wanted a PEGI 12 rating. Also, Mr. Shauna, it probably would have been offensive to some if Edea stayed 15.
You know, some people are boycotting the game for this, which is really mad, in my opinion. Sure, that's a great idea, considering this was supposed to be a Japan-only title that we were lucky got a Western release and it selling well is the only thing that can warrant the sequel getting a Western release. But I guess it's all worth it because we don't get to ogle some barely dressed chibi ladies.
Sometimes I really hate the Internet.
Ringabel makes Edgar, Irvine and Zidane look like they're not interested in the opposite sex /smug
The Internet is pretty horny, so this isn't too shocking xD
But yeah, it's chibi's so you would have to pretty desperate if you want to get horny over that.

>>> I dont know how the videogame rating system works at japan but from what Im concluding at this point, that game was targeted for an older audience like 17+ or something at japan?
>>> Censoring stupid stuff (like crosses in La Pucelle Tactics) is even more offensive than barely dressed chibi ladies. Atleast that is how i see it..
