kek. Is that sopposed to be a flex? low-mid reception in the world's biggest market. Now they know what to expect they'll care even less.

Also Japanese were just buying on nostalgia. Now they know what type of censorship to expect I don't think they'll be too keen to jump on the next one. Especially at $60 for some nes port.

I was legitimately interested in the DQIII remake until I saw that any mention of gender was removed and that any old design that showed skin was given this ugly spandex thing to go under it instead. Seeing this thread reminded me that I was keeping an eye on someone working on a mod back when the game came out to take all that gay shit out, and I see he's been done for like ten months, so I may actually go play the game at some point now.

I specifically worded my post to account for this. While they did censor some things, it typically wasn't as much. They also didn't do it at the source too (although this may just be because these AAA companies only care about the Western market as the base one now). The modern requests to cover up girls is not coming from religious groups. It is also not coming from the people who want a more modest sex education.

>censored gender
They changed it to "Type A/B" on the start screen. But then refer to them as Male/Female in all dialogue and even in the menues. It's actually funny how they did it just to trick Sony's ethnics committee and it worked.
>censored religion
>"God" to "goddess"
It's Goddess in Japanese as well. The only time "God" appears in Dragon Quest is Dragon Quest VII. And he's a separate entity to the Goddess.

What's getting cut in DQI+II? Dragon Quest VII is the one people claimed was getting cut. And they later said they weren't cutting stuff. Just making them optional. The only thing confirmed to being cut is the casino.

Never heard of any of these. Provide examples.

At this point, pretty much just a remake of II and VI. Because the previous remakes didn't fix them like they should have. But it looks like the upcoming remake of II might just be doing that.
>changed the terrible lottery
>crests actually have a point in the story and grant you new abilities

Just need to see if they fixed the level rates, Cannock's dogshit stats and pacing of the game.

I just got into the series with DQ XI and would probably be a prime target for faithful Remakes of the first, since I never played them. Instead they all landed on Ignore. Censorship = No money. There isn't a lack of Alternatives.

None of the DQ remakes are censored. Unless you count the shitty localization. Which every game would be considered censored. DQXI being the most censored out of all of them with over half the dialogue straight up altered and tons of costume/pronoun changes.

What "switch 2 upgrade" do you even need for a sprite-based game?

>>722465717
since they're too retarded to make a sprite-based game run properly, you can upgrade for higher resolution and better fps.

Sony, who owns like 25% of Square's stock, forced them to create an 'ethics committee.' Which, not surprisingly, was headed by an ex-Sony employee. If they wouldn't comply, they wouldn't allow Square games to release on Sony's systems. And more importantly, cut off Sony's funding of their games. And Square wasn't going to do that when the majority of their money for games like FF and Forspoken was coming from the dumb Sony exclusivity deals.

On top of this, until recently, they were also getting money from hedge funds. Who demanded all these woke changes. Same group that runs Sony. It was the DQ team who ended up spilling the beans on all this last year.

It said western groups were influencing management to force the changes DQ games never had before. And they didn't like it. It doesn't take much digging to figure out what groups are doing it, since it's the same ones doing it to western games. And because both Sony and Square employees have gone online bragging about it.

https://boundingintocomics.com/video-games/square-enix-job-listing-provides-details-on-ethics-department-confirms-focus-on-discriminatory-prejudicial-or-offensive-content/

But not surprisingly, they have since scrubbed all the twitter posts and the page bragging about it on their main website.
>>
>>722466303
Also, the original head of the Ethics Deparment named in that article worked at Sony before becoming head of the ethics department. This isn't some crazy conspiracy theory where you have to link like 14 different government agencies and a list of code names. It's a direct link between one person.

No it didn't actually. Horii really only said that you can't say male or female anymore, and that's something explicitly to do with the Japanese side. Because it started in Japanese only games several years before DQ3.
That's really his only big statement on the matter in the interview, the whole gender thing. Most quotes people post about that are Torishima, who doesn't work on DQ and was never involved with the series beyond its inception back in 1985/6, and was speaking entirely on his experience as a senior editor for Shueisha in bringing materials over to America.

Removing Gender = Ideological Censorship of the worst kind
Costume and Symbol changes = Censorship
Art style changes like lips on the troll = Censorship
Lolcowlization and toning down dialogue due to Political Correctness = Censorship

If a developer and publisher won't respect their own artistic work enough not to alter it, they won't need my money. I'm not "boycotting", I'm just not giving them my money, and after a certain point (like what Square Enix did to the Final Fantasy Remakes or Dragon Quest Remasters) a company might end up on a Mental Shitlist.

As I said before I haven't played many of these titles growing up and have no nostalgia or particular affection for them, and there's no shortness of Alternatives. Instead I just bought the Rollercoaster Tycoon Pack and Greedfall on Steam Sale. And when an Asian developer does it right like Lollipop Chainsaw, Shadows of the Damned, Stellar Blade, Wukong or Khazan I just get those at Launch instead to reward them. Even when it comes to Japanese franchises there's still plenty of others out there, for instance I never played Kingdom Hearts and finished Ni No Kuni II, but haven't started the first one, both of which seem like much more faithful ports.

This also isn't limited to video games as they share entertainment time with other media, for instance I recently watched After Hours and To Live and Die in L.A., pretty enjoyable movies from the 80s. Also got into Gundam by watching the six "Origin" movies and am now watching Mobile Suit Gundam, and recently watched Riding Bean and started with Gun Smith Cats. None of these are Censored, Cut or otherwise mutilated from how they Originally aired. I'll just spend my money and attention on creators of all kind that have enough self-respect to honor their Original creative vision and don't offer me Censored and Cut Gray Gruel, of which there are thankfully enough.

Yeah. The ethnics committee. Who is following the commands of the western hedge funds and Sony.
> Most quotes people post about that are Torishima, who doesn't work on DQ and was never involved with the series beyond its inception back in 1985/6, and was speaking entirely on his experience as a senior editor for Shueisha in bringing materials over to America.
Who went into a whole lot more detail about things and directly blamed the western groups. What he called "western standards." And specifically said Horii was too nice to talk about it, but he would.

>>722465890
>If they wouldn't comply, they wouldn't allow Square games to release on Sony's systems.
Funny given that releasing on Sony systems exclusively has created flop after flop for Square

>>722467107

That's where it gets into your fanfiction, because he makes no mention of an ethics committee.
The funny thing about you claims is the fact that DQ is made in a separate building from everything else in SE. It has no interaction with any other products specifically because SE does not actually own the IP.
>Who went into a whole lot more detail about things and directly blamed the western groups. What he called "western standards." And specifically said Horii was too nice to talk about it, but he would.
And Torishima doesn't actually know anything about DQ's situation. Because he's talking about manga he worked one 20-30 years ago.

The vast majority of the remakes were made before all those changes started. Those changes started being done with Dragon Quest XI. Which is a mainline game. And the only remake that got that treatment was Dragon Quest III HD. Also Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS. But that's technically not a remake.

What was being done before Dragon Quest XI was shitty localization changes. Which is a fae bigger problem than costume changes. Completely changing characters parsonalities and the whole tone of the game. Of which Dragon Quest XI is the worst offender. On top of also having visual changes like bikini's turned into shorts. But the same people claiming they won't buy later DQ games because of "censorship" turn around and defend Dragon Quest XI. Because they played it before they knew about the censorship.

Yet he's being forced to change things, despite outright saying he doesn't want to. Gee, I wonder where the changes are coming from... Oh, but he didn't directly say it so that means it doesn't exist!

Oh yeah, wanted to add that lying about obviously apparent Censorship doesn't protect their product, but just makes you a liar.
And when a publisher takes specific action to specifically Muzzle the Original creator of something over sharing his opinion regarding ridiculous New-Age Censorship practices that makes it just 10x as disgusting.

And if I ever feel the need to play some of these franchises after all (unlikely, since as I said there's many other Alternatives), there's always Emulation.

Typically CERO for most things like the lack of casinos in newer DQ titles (starting 2019) or the skimpy clothes getting covered up (2012).
I doubt CERO is behind the genders, but Horii doesn't know either, and the origin point for this was two games not even on Sony platforms.

Which is your assumption. He didn't actually say it! Your argument, not mine.
>I doubt CERO is behind the genders, but Horii doesn't know either
He may know. He just doesn't want to say it. Either because he's got that "don't speak badly about anything" many Japanese people have. Or he was outright told not to by Square management.

I've already preordered Dragon Quest I+II Remake. But I'm not going to buy the DQVII remake. Not because of the "cut" content (which isn't actually cut). But because I already own it on PS1 and 3DS. And it wasn't my favorite game to begin with. If anything, it could use some trimming. But they're not trimming it. And also, I hate the new art style. Looks like a shitty western CGI cartoon.

>>722406946
The real difference maker is SE announcing the much more enticing remake of 7, to come out just months after I and II - Undercutting their own game's sales potential. Brilliant!
