>>735826371Did he catch himself saying globohomo is forcing them to censor and "correct" himself to "n-no we just-updated- it to match MODERN fetishist! we're still your fellow perverts!"Makes me never want to touch Gust shit again
>(((the so called differing standards)))
Disappoing but not surprising, maybe those spicy scenes with Shihori and Hinako will have rewritten dialogue (and/or added clothes) because it won't make much sense otherwise...we'll see.
japan is so fucking over
keep your OG copies as its the best way to play
>>735827610A real shame. This is what happens when the companies realized that the foreign market was kicking their shit in and they needed to grab it at any cost. Well the cost was everything that made their games worth playing to begin with.>Story>Gameplay>Visuals>DesignAll of it pissed away to appeal to retarded westerners.
No undies, no buy
>>735826371>Comments are turned off
>>735826371Lesbians are already woke. Who cares
>>735828635Whoa, you're very convinvced at least. Undies are serious busines..
Does any game that does this succeed?Surely they know this generally results in total failure?
>>735826371why do these nip companies cater to western feminists who don't buy their games and give the middle finger to their loyal customers? i don't get it.
>>735830008Those westerners are in their companies spewing lies into their ears and the nip devs are too retarded to go look for themselves and see no one actually wants this shit
>>735829739Literally only strive
>>735826371lmaooooToo bad, i wont be buying it!
I'd be lying if I said that I care about modern Gust or BR (only played the first one back on PS4), but every year, Gust continues to somehow be even more retarded than I previously thought possible. What's the point of this? The audience for games likes this loathe censorship? Also, why are they remaking that gacha and keeping the male MC? It's a series targeted towards yuri fan and literally everybody hates that guy, this would be a chance to try and fix that mistake and remove him. Their retardation goes beyond mere mortal limits. Mel hit is prime during the original Arland trilogy and his yuri prime with TotoMimi, I don't think the dude even likes yuri though.
>>735830008THey're louder than you.
>>735826371>pervertsThe term he's looking for is "pedophiles."
>>735826371Damn
>>735830486And that is only because the FGC is desperate for games to play. The numbers on active player base for the game are absolutely in the gutter compared to sales and the next game in the series will probably pull less then Rev 2 did.
>>735826371https://x.com/mellco/status/2037511634588156223It's this retard by the way. He's all proud about giving us a shitty censored version of the game.
>>735826371So what fetishes will be expressed that’s more acceptable in the modern day? Is he talking about yuri? Kemono? Wtf does he even mean.
>>735826371sorry, why are the releasing the same game but worse when you can buy the better version for like 5 dollars?
ignore listed so i don't buy it even on sale
>>735830008Mel Kishida (the guy in the image) got chewed out by a Western game journalist when he dared to take an interview for BR1 back in 2017. They basically called him a sex pest to his face in the interview. A few years later he was doing a JP interview for the second game and he started talking about how the first game had outdated views on girls and shit like that.Tldr he got reprogrammed. Most of Modern Japan did after the constant Western scolding in the 2010s. Every console platform could drop all their censorship restrictions right now and nothing would change become Modern Japan is genuinely in the Anita Sarkeesian mindset that the otaku games of the 2010s were "wrong" of them to make.
>>735826371More like JUST
>>735830889This is because Japanese, for whatever reason, are always like 5-10 years behind current trends. It’s ridiculous.
>>735830690>next game in the series will probably pull less then Rev 2 did.
>>735830008They get "consulted" by "investment firms" that tell them they will tell "Visa and Mastercard" and if they don't change things to how they like it, then they will be blocked. This is how Visa and Mastercard avoid responsibility for their "brand image awareness" bullshit. Because they hire third parties to police people. When Governments come to them with complaints about how they can't do the business they want and demand that these card companies stop infringing on their rights, they tell them>We didn't tell group X to do Y. We told them to do Z. Just ignore themThen when they do ignore them, they find their account frozen>Oh, we are sorry, we froze it because we had a report from our consultant group that you might be engaging in illegal activties. If you aren't, we will unfreeze you, but in the future you might not want to anger that group.These fuckers really think you are that stupid and that they won't get their shit seized when they finally step on too many toes.
>>735830889None of these older otaku guys are "reprogrammed" in the sense that they actually think all the perversion is wrong, it's more that they're just forced to try and appeal to "modern western values". They don't want to risk getting their games turned down during reviews and banned from stores.
Can we ask Gust to add female variant of ray mc?
Blue Reflection was pre-2018There are probably a ton of threads in the archive complaining Tie was censored.
>>735831780This hurts my very soul
>>735827610>>735828152You don't know shit. They became subsidized by Blackrock in their suicide-mission to "reset capitalism" so they're having their behaviors forced like the rest of us.None of this is Japan failing on its own terms. It's literally just foreign power sweeping in and forcing them to stop making anime like they used to, in a retard-plan to revitalize capitalism by making it "socially responsible investing."They're trying to get people to stop staring at screens, stop being on social media, stop playing video games, get people out doing "real work" again, better the climate, and then send incels to war because Iran is just the tip of the iceberg of the global conflict that's just started.The good news is that banning smoking was interrupted by gaming, so banning anime/gaming will eventually just lead to another cool thing that we enjoy for 40 years before our "masters" make a heel turn on it.But the next 20 years? Those are about surviving cuz a lot of us will be eligible for draft, whether you're from europe, japan or the US.
>>735827610It's because of that fucking cursed tribe who are just feminist cucks and who hate fun
>>735826371welcome
>>735830008Because japanese boomers don't know English so they have ZERO clue about the western market, not kidding. Their only link is those (((consulting))) companies who tell them>The west love trannies and hate fanservice please trust us or else our journalists will make sure to doompost your games hahaAnita mafia dropped once one threat like that to the witcher team and that Monkey chinese game devs also said those companies were trying to get 7 millions out of them
>>735826371good, maybe now that coomers aren't cooming while playing they can actually see how peak Blue Reflection is.
Is the censored copy going to be a "remastered" version with the old being delisted? Or are they going to update the first version? I need to know if I should rush to actually complete a playthrough of this game before they "correct" it.
>>735831092Chinese and Korean at least managed to see though it and are selling hard in that market now, wish nips were as smart
>>735832113>They're trying to get people to stop staring at screens, stop being on social media, stop playing video games, get people out doing "real work" again, better the climate, and then send incels to war because Iran is just the tip of the iceberg of the global conflict that's just started.Reminder /v/ voted for this because you thought post 2024 would kick off Ecchi Renaissance
>>735832113this is your brain on /pol/
>>735832113>They're trying to get people to stop staring at screens, stop being on social media, stop playing video games, get people out doing "real work" again, better the climate, and then send incels to war because Iran is just the tip of the iceberg of the global conflict that's just startedYou can tell only inbreeds could make a retarded plan like that>Phones and internetPeople are too poor to socialize and they don't want to deal with nogs everywhere man, add to that young people can't afford homes, so where do they interact? What do they do?>Send them to die to IranOkay, so they wanted to kill whites only to start begging for them to solve their problems because turns out their kuro golems won't do shitSeriously, fuck those KEKS
>>735832348Delisted of course, look at Ryza.
>>735826371People read terrible autogenned MTL subs like this and want all their video games to sound exactly like this nonsensical sludge.
isn't this the Yuri franchise that commited suicide by making a gacha with a male protag
>>735832447
>>735832487true, it lacks incel jokes
>>735831780and how this affect your life?
>>735832494Yeah, they're trying to revive it by making it commit suicide again.
>>735832113retard
>>735832350Too bad they’re monetization methods are even worse than western games industry.
Real issues aside, why are these threads full of the most tryhard posts ever? The kind of shit the usual retards post here isn't helping in their favor.
>>735832525
>>735832753truly a monkey's paw
Censored? I haven't played Second Light but there were lots of Japanese fanservice on the first game it was almost too funny how they force it lol
>>735832348>>735832480I'm going to say that it's likely the Steam version gets delisted as a replacement and maybe Switch Second Light. Blue Reflection Quartet is only a PS5 title so they would still want sales available for the original and Second Light on that platform.
>>735832113https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/management/esg.htmlIt always amuses me how capcom discreetly changed links and nomenclature when they decided to stop using the initials from the propaganda machine.
>announces this right after the big salealright, i own BR 1 but not second lightwhat am i missing by not owning the sequel. I think i read here that second light was already toned down in ecchi.
Oh wait they're remastering it or releasing a third game? Too lazy to read through the thread.
>>735833063Second Light had literally no fanservice aside from some swimsuits scenes and girls holding hands. you can only see the girls panties if you mod or glitch the game.
>>735832749they kept the male self insert lol
>>735833143Blue Reflection falls under the pre-2018 content rules. Second light was 2021.There were some crossover costumes if you bought both Atelier, Nights of Azure, and Blue Reflection games at the same time or only physical copies had certain ones so you'll probably see those show up as standard content in Quartet.
>>735826371Enjoy your flop.
Is the song in the trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgJHujvxg0s) new? I don't think I've heard it before
>>735833206first and second game remastermobile game ported to vidyavidya adaptation of the anime which is basically a new game
>>735832345Between this and capcom i can't fucking respect nips for selling their own assess like that
>>735833393as it should be.
>>735826371he failed us...
>>735826371KT is so cucked. As usual.
>>735833206It's a remaster of 1 (with added censorship) and basically just Second Light again with some extra characters. But it also includes new side stories based on the anime and mobile game. For example, the mobile game's story isn't a straight port but rather uses assets and the battle system from Second Light.
>>735833374I don't really care about the fanservice. I like the game's story, aesthetics and music. I misunderstood the thread and thought the games were censored which surprised me and that's why I mentioned it has lots of fanservice.Will definitely play second light once I get the time, it's been collecting dust now.
>>735833121It's digital, and will be useless as soon as they stop supporting PS4.
The Blue Reflection franchise is one of the very few franchises /v/ unanimously loves so the news please me.
>>735833529>vidya adaptation of the anime which is basically a new gameSeem to be walking simulator.
>>735832751>>735832447>STOP NOTICINGNah, he's right 100%
>>735833871Possibly it ends on a boss fight against Shino but yeah the rest is most likely walking around
>>735833686>I like the game's story, aesthetics and musicbased patrician. I actually prefer the first game but Second Light is also really enjoyable and interesting.
I'm glad that it's more than just a DX collection. Sun and Ray will make this release worth getting even if they are somewhat half assed. I'm not really surprised 1 is censored, there's no way they would release a game with naked JKs in 2026.
They are high school girls, seeing their underwear is already highly inappropriate.
I'll wait for anons underwear review before I think of buying this
Odds on Second Light being delisted because of this? I only own the first game.
>>735826371does anyone have the sphere turned into cube comic?
>>735833871still better than most new AAA games.
>>735834097Very high considering Gust's track record on these things
>>735834138Is there content in there to be censored or were they already doing this coward shit by the time it came out?
>>735834040First game made me bawl ngl.It was so bittersweet.>>735834097What does being delisted mean? I have the original PS4 games does that affect them?
>>735826371>It's going to be fun isn't it?No it won't with censorship you illiterate nonsensical bootlicking gook. Hope you choke on that ps5 slop money.
>>735832113>They're trying to get people to stop staring at screens, stop being on social media, stop playing video games, get people out doing "real work" again, better the climate, and then send incels to war because Iran is just the tip of the iceberg of the global conflict that's just started.All of this was because of shit that they invested in to start. They completely missed the mark on what should have been done to curb this and you can't just put the genie back in the bottle. The idea that any of them want people to stop looking at their phone and missing that their lives have become absolute dog shit because of it is absolutely hillarious. They do realize that the second people have these things taken away is the second we put them in the ground.
>>735834240Second Light plays it way safer on fan-service, I doubt they're going to censor anything in it since there isn't really anything they could censor
>>735834043There is no naked JK even in OG release, but nice hyperbole man.
>>735834057That's why I'm mad that they removed it.
>>735832113>It's literally just foreign power sweeping in and forcing them to stop making anime like they used toproblem is it's killing themit's like selling a cup of ice cubes with no sodalike pancakes without batterlike hamburgers without beeflike pizza without doughlike a car without an engine
>>735834043>'m not really surprised 1 is censored, there's no way they would release a game with naked JKs in 2026I guess that's true.>>735834497I use the terms ''high school student'' or ''high schooler'' but...ahem.
>>735834497I guess you never played the games.
>>735834043But it is just a DX collection. It's the same treatment the Ryza DX trilogy got: quality of life changes, new side stories, and characters from those side stories being added to the main game. In this case, Ray is a side story of the original (using the assets for the Common), and Sun is a side story for Second Light (using the assets/battle system from Second Light, and adding the characters from it to Second Light proper). Instead of selling it as 1 DX + Ray and 2 DX + Sun they're combining them all.
>>735834057No it's not.
>lgbt game getting censored strange times we're living in
>>735826371>we don't want to make games for our audienceThen who the fuck are they expecting will buy their game?
>>735826371Why won't they offer a patch on their website that removes the changes for those who wants it? It's such a no-brainer, easy solution. They wouldn't be infringing the store's retarded policies that way, and people who don't care about the censorship (mind you, those types of people would also dislike them being on towels) can play the game vanilla.
blackrock strikes again
>>735826371>uncensored zoophilia in games is OK>uncensored interspecies sex is OK>torture is OK>murder is OK>grooming kids in multiplayer games is OK>gambling in multiplayer games is OK>NOOOO BARE SKIN AND FEET, SUGGESTIVE POSES, PANTIES AND FUN ARE NOT ALLOWED! THAT IS LITERALLY RAPE, HARAM AND HOLOCAUST YOU CHILD KIDNAPPING VIDEO GAME PIRATING HITLER
>>735834607>>735834652>No genitals shown>No nipples shown>Not even side boobs or vagina bones or pubes shown>Not even "naked" assSure, I can show a baboon's backside and call it naked too. What a disingenuous take you nitwit.
I can't cum then... What is the point... What is the point of life? I need... to empty my balls... no....
>>735834240>Is there content in there to be censored maybe some of the dlcs that were too short and lewd for Mei and Ai tastes (aka daughters of KT founders) but everything was already censored there so nope. and not really surprising since it's been years since KT have been trying to get away of being linked with fanservice/ecchi content. I blame EVO and DoA6 for that.
So, why does in first game Daath is defeated but still alive, and should still be god, but anime and next games consider him dead?
>>735834907>t.
Well I own the original one so this is a non-issue for me
>>735834854How fried has your brain become from porn?
>>735834757They still can't believe someone play games on PC.
>>735834658>and characters from those side stories being added to the main game.fucking praying that at least this time they make Mio and Uta playable in second light. possibly Yuzu and Lime too.
>>735826371That's ok, I'm not the target audience, I just won't buy it. They'll be fine, just ask Square Enix.
>>735827610Korea and China replaced Japan.
>>735833530I'd kinda rather see them stop selling their shit to us at all at this point.
>>735834538>Food analogy
>>735835029He's right though. Those shit were really tame. Wouldn't even pass for softcore porn standard.
>>735835062You are not the target audience for cigarettes, yet your world changes and you suffer for it regardless by the actions of people who do smoke.You are not the target audience for alcohol, yet your world changes and you suffer for it regardless by the actions of people who do drink.You are not the target audience for littering, yet your world changes and you suffer for it regardless by the actions of people who do litter.
>japanese are spineless cucks outside of the hentai marketwow a shocker>>735835205this nigga eats engines
>>735834940Wasn't the issue that he got kicked off the "throne"? Not that he was dead? It's been a while so I could be wrong
>>735834775You do realize this retarded whataboutism is what drew them to work down the list right? Your indignation only serves to help them learn what to censor next.
>>735835232Nah, they just flop.
>>735835217It's a japanese console game, why are you expecting hardcore porn from a game like that? There's nude models, just because it isn't overly sexual doesn't mean they aren't naked in the original release.
I'm buying boughted and I'm having a cozy wozy summer time
>>735835092>Chinayes, Genshin, ZZZ, Endfield, Wuwa, etc are big examples of how uncensored shit must be. but at least ZZZ and Endfield have a good boob/ass jiggle system
>>735835029Like I said no nipples, no asses, no pussies. Tell me how teasing garbage like this qualifies as someone being shown naked again? Thor movie at the very least show ass cracks. THAT is naked.
>>735835056
>>735835454All safehorny slop.Hell, HSR just censored an entire area for being "too Japanese" due to their new PM saying the T word.
>>735835393>just because it isn't overly sexual doesn't mean they aren't naked in the original release.Being naked is being overly sexual in itself you double nigger.
>>735826371Standards on what I buy didn't change, sorry bro.
>>735835062they will survive.
>>735835532Years of Hollywood executives abusing girls and conservative western sensibilities mix in strange ways.
>>735835579>COUNTERHuh? New mechanics?
>>735835287Other gods are in other dimensions for some time, but Daath is already here, even after loosing "throne" he is the only one in this dimension who knows how to sit on it.
>>735835579>Ruka>Sun girlsit's fucking over...
>>735835532You are just trolling or being obtuse at this point, a lot of Japanese games have non-explicit nudity, there are scenes of characters not wearing clothes but you never seen anything explicit partially because the CERO wouldn't allow it but that doesn't mean they they don't have naked characters. Also, that Kei image above has buttcrack.
>>735835686You'll see this screencap when the news hit.
>>735826371Why would I play the censored version when the original is still available?
>>735835579Are they getting events or are they just silent companions for battle?
>>735835532>>735835812Who cares either way?How does there being nudity of any description improve the gameplay of a video game?It does not.Thus, it is irrelevant and you have no reason to be upset about its removal. Coomers should just let video games be video games and keep porn separate and out of it.
>>735835815go ahead and post/use it. Anyway, if Blue Reflection already surived 4 deaths, pretty sure they can survive a 5th one too lol
>>735830772they usually delist the old version when doing these demakes
>>735830772The problem is that the old releases are 60 bucks each and they aren't putting them on sale
Just a reminder, you MUST complete Tie two times.
>>735835686>shill wants me to believe this is a good numberHoly shit, i bet even concord sold more than this trash lmao
I posted this in another thread.Hinako's weird skirt in the censored version...the censored version looks very bad in my opinion...
>>735836345do you though?
>>735836408retard
>Gay dyke game gets censored to appeal to their NEW LGBT crowd Get fucked retards, China and Korea stays winning
>>735836345The trailer is hinting at some new stuff possibly linked to the true ending as well
>>735826371this was obviously already going to be completely worthless censored trash because these games were all already censored when they first released in the west. if they're being censored even MORE than before, that's slightly more pathetic i guess, but no skin off my back because i already wasn't buying it, not being retarded and whatnot.condolences to anyone who still buys this on account of their brain damage.
>>735836467I did.>>735836629Might be Sun connection to Tie.
Why do these RETARDED Japanese NIGGRERS from TRANNYHELL think that "standards" are just gonna stop getting stricter? Does Kishida and Gust know that in another 9 years, THIS version of the game will be considered "too extreme" if they keep fucking CAPITULATING to Western Leftist screeching? They don't want your game to be safe, they want you, Kishida, and all of Japan, to get out of the industry. Especially now with people looking to East Asian experiences because the West keeps pumping out Concords. HEY GUST. YOU CAN'T PLEASE THEM NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO! Just fucking die. Every Reiwa otaku and every Japanese scumbag that gives in to this. Look at the state of the Western industry and know that that is you soon, Japan.
>>735836461it looks exactly how japanese school girls dress.
>>735834279>What does being delisted mean?it means the game is removed from the store so you can no longer buy it. if you already purchased it, you retain access.
>>735836542Cope and seethe shill, your slop just got censored and is selling just as much the Lesbian Knight 1348 whatever the fuck is called that also giga flopped lmao
>>735836751Cope, gooner. You lost.
>>735836739bro, nice that you completed it 2 times but I was asking if you (we) really do need to finish it two times or it's just for completionist status.
>>735835972if it's such a small change why make it at all?
>>735836812retard
>>735836751Consider jerking off before going into a rant
>>735826371People need to learn that they can literally just ignore it and put out the game they want anyways
>everybody at gust are perverts>we adjusted the scriptdamnit koei tecmo send consistent signalshow do you DOA7 trailer and prism then send those people over to gust and have them say thisI know he's referring to the script but that's not good news
>>735837012No they can't. CERO and payment processors are the problem and there's literally no way to get around both.
>>735835454All mogged by vvprism/snowbreak in fan servicethese gacha are playing it safe No dating mechanic,no beach mode,no weddding
>>735836878You can't get true end on firs run, it's a plot thing.
>No visible pussyCensored trash
>>735837083>vprism/snowbreakwho?
>>735835704>>735835812>>735835972Nah, you're all just too domesticated and brainwashed by years of sloppification. Morons with zero standard like you who think softcore is hardcore and shitty tease aka the OG is softcore is why the bar keeps lowering. Now if an anime whore as so much wink at you y'all would just cum buckets. It's pathetic.
Shame about the censorship but at least they're still willing to acknowledge the series I guess. Now, about Nights of Azure...
Inb4 some cucks say mods will fix this when they haven't yet decensored the second game. LOL
>>735826371>the comments are turned off
>>735837249If they're going to pull this stunt I'd rather prefer them leave the series in the dark. Same as Blazblue.
>>735837340tbf lots of nip corporate livestreams do this regardless of blowback, they leave on chat replay but they disable leaving comments after the stream is over. i doubt they individually turned off comments on this.
>>735837025>we are still perverts>but "times change"It was a cry for help
>>735837093oh, completely forgot about that I didn't really liked the 2nd game and was already tired of it so I just watched the true end on youtube lol
everyone who buys this censored slop deserves to be shot in the head and dumped in an unmarked mass grave. you are accelerating the death of art.
>>735837079And Steam / Sony / MicrosoftThis industry is just cucked to shit honestly
>>735837440How do we save Gust?
>censored>digital only in the westFatal Frame fan here. Welcome to hell, enjoy your stay.
>>735826371no one will buy that shit.
>>735829739It's not about the money. It's a humiliation ritual.
>>735837547Pretend the PS5 doesn't exist.
>>735826371Kishida has that "It's all so tiresome" look.
>>735832348This is where I am at. I am contemplating buying both of the original versions as I assume they might get delisted upon release of Quartet. Never got around to playing them but they have been on my mind for ages. 60 fucking bucks each, though. Should I pull the trigger? Are they worth it?
>>735837639savage
>>735836930>on repeat nowYou tears are delicious weeb tranny, your dyke slop just flopped big time and they censored your shit for the new LGBT
>>735837697what the fuck are you talking about
>>735837697retard
>>735826371Isnt this pretty clear he was forced to do this for the globohomo judges. This is deeper than just being afraid of seething faggots on social media.Imagine wanting to bring a product and being forced to change it on gunpoint and then having to apologize on their behalf.This shit has to be exposed and rooted out by the source.
>>735836779I'll just copy and paste part of another post: ''The censorship of the shower scenes is one thing, I guess it doesn't look bad with those towels but the censorship of the scenes of the characters in their undies looks very lazy, I have a high quality image right here, and if this is representative of the final product, it looks really bad if one is familiar with the game, in the censored version Sarasa is also showing her cleavage and, more than anything else, the straps of their bras are still visible, complete with the sliders! (those rectangles on the straps)''''I also wanted to mention that Hinako's skirt is just...there, even though she's not wearing the Hoshinomiya Girls' High School uniform. Like I said, it looks very bad and lazy.''Yeah, it looks exactly how Japanese school girls dress but it looks bad if one is familiar with the original scenes. They may have to change some dialogue and remove one or two animations too...we'll see how they handle it.
>>735837187Are you playing anything outside mainstream slop?
>>735837832Aww poor baby chud.We're going to keep taking away everything you enjoy and you can't do anything :)
>the usual gust jank that nobody would buy if not for the cute girls>but now censored I blame americans for everything. Fuck you guys.
>>735837972no matter what you do irl dykes will still be ugly :)
>>735837913>gets mad when people don't recognize his flopped shitshould've shilled them harder
>>735837083>vvprismthat game was toned down as fuck. all the swimsuits were boring as heck too. they also gave fiona bloomers instead of panties. VV itself is way better for fanservice.
>>735837357There's no way in hell the upgrade sequences in these games would stay intact, especially 2's. That shit was insane.
>>735838049Fun fact: we don’t give a shit about what you brown AGP gooners think. I’m sure you’ll survive without another generic tranime game.
>>735838049 >nobody would buy if not for the cute girlsbut the cute girls are still there. Gust/KT games have been fully censored since Ryza btw.
>want the Ray and Sun modes>have to buy 1 AND 2 again to get themI love rereleases on the same platform!!! Please delist more games and sell them back to me with more censorship to access the equivalent of DLC! Nights of Azure Couplet when?
>>735837547strip away tsuchiya and kishida and give them a budget with no guideline restrictions regarding fanservice. the company itself is lost but the talent there can still thrive as perverts if given the proper environment.
>>735826371Im non-buynari
>>735837765>>735837815LOOOL your dyke slop just got censored and flopped, keep seething trannies
>>735838049I believe my nigger loving country's reflexive need to ruin beautiful things comes from a place of insecurity. We know everything about our 'culture' is ugly as fuck now and rotten to the core and we're terrified of competition emphasizing that. We're like the national equivalent of a middle aged saggy roastie that's completely livid at the sight of a pretty girl.
>>735832348>>735837682You should pirate them. Why support a company trying to take its content away from you? It will also prevent them from "updating" your installation.
>>735838429retard
>>735834607>>735834652Kei naked and smooth back.... my tongue need to lick every inch of her skin. My dick is so erect right now.
>>735832348They are absolutely getting delisted. Thank God for the PS4 copies sitting on my shelf.
Yeah figures they'd censor it, the world has gone to shit in the past decade.It should be easily fixable though, model swapping is simple.
>>735826371Bad idea given that this game is almost exclusively played by weebs who want fan service
>>735833143It's a better game overall. Combat is much more interesting, more girls, more worlds, etc. The first one has it's charm but its more like a prototype.
>>735832647My life is noticeably improved whenever I am rock fucking hard.
>>735826371the only thing I'm actually mad is how they decided to remove the dating mechanics from the Sun port. anything else is fucking whatever to me.
>>735836461Meanwhile faggots been praising recent Hades 2 nude protag animated openig, the trailer even show a naked man face Aphrodite
>>735826371This is console's fault. At least on PC there's options. The sooner consoles finally die the better, they're nothing but cancer at this point anyway.
>>735831780Thank fuck for Pirate version
>>735826371I will be saving my money then. I got tricked into buying the first US vers one untill i saw how different it was in japan. Then i skipped the second one because of the censorship. Now i will be skipping this one.
>>735839474>how different it was in japan...It was only the model viewer with a more restricted camera...
>>735839135That's mainly because it's not a port. It's specifically "24 scenarios" from Sun's main story redone using Second Light's game systems. It's not a standalone game so much as it a side story for Second Light. Ray isn't even adapting the whole anime, just the last couple episodes, but they threw in some collectable "memory shards" that give you a recap of the rest.
>>735837972You shouldent be speaking from a high horse troony you are the one thats suffering from depressions and ending your own lives cause you fail pushing your play pretend propaganda.In the meantime your getting 4D chessed by the same jews behind the veil and think it's a win.
>>735839706Yeah. I want to see those panties. All over.
Guess never getting around to srsly learn japanese wasn't any tragedy thenJust do not ask me to buy any of your your slop if you make it taste just the same as ours, nintensnoys
>>735832113>draftno one's getting draftedit would catastrophic for themit worked in WW2 because of patriotism and was tolerated in Vietnam because they were riding off the good will of WW2we've just been through 20+ years of pointless occupationgovernmental trust is at an all time lowbest case scenario, people just draft dodge
There are thousands of games, I'm just not buying any that are censored.Sorry just not doing it.
>>735835910>silent companions for battleJudging from the clips and the main slots, they will fight. I haven't played Sun but I'd wager they all have movesets already.
>>735827610The problem with globalization is that you get all the constraints with none of the benefits of every cultural aspect of the world.
>>735826371I know this is a demoralization thread ran by brown retards. But he is likely saying that the list of fetishes changed, essentially mocking globohomo. I swear faggots always take the Japanese seriously and believe the reddit myth that they have no sarcasm and humor. The Japanese do focus on different things fetishwise nowadays since 10 years ago it was largely still determined by boomers who had memories of high cut bloomers and taking communal baths with girls, this disappeared around the 80s and 90s so modern Japanese simply don't get the specialness of these particular tropes and would rather focus on niche internet things and more generic sexy scenes like showers.
>>735838817Okay.Don't forget her white underwear.
>>735840132>more generic sexy scenes like showers.See:>>735836461
>>735833143More yuribait but less straight up ecchi, and a significantly better game overall. Almost everything wrong with actually playing BR1 was addressed.
>>735840083Thousands of which are Japanese games that show off a lot more completely blowing the narrative that they are forced to censor anything out of the water. Lame and unsexy works have always existed, even in Japan.
>>735836629Why do you say that ? What do the chairs mean ?
>>735839706Why do slimy niggers have to introduce "amount" in discussion of principles.No, it's not "a little murder", nobody would say that. Just like it's not "a little censorship". It's censorship. You're not redefining the words this time moshe.
>>735839443>At least on PC there's options.There are, but those options are "accept that Steam may randomly disallow any ecchi game" or "accept that your game will be a financial failure because most of the userbase adamantly refuses to use anything but Steam.">>735835910It was mentioned that they won't tie into the game's story in any way, and will only be battle party members.
>>735837497Not my problem I'm already too old to care.
>>735840193That looks like training bras and other things young girls wear. This lines up with Japanese becoming more realistic in their fetishism now that the internet allows them to figure out how the real deal acts. They used to draw all girls' panties like diapers, then they perfected the art of drawing generic underwear, now they can specialize them to fit the girls. You see this trend even in doujins and shit where there is sex later. It is real perversion.
>>735833393>>735833643Fuck off
>>735840315It's called not having severe mental illness. Equating video game censorship and murder is beyond unhinged.
>>735840508Holy cope
>>735840339>Steam may randomly disallow any ecchi gameRandom game with "hentai" tag in search.
>>735832113Why are you jewish?
>>735839839fuck, I will wait for a good sale then.
>>735832113I hate Jews so much it's unreal.
>>735840339There is absolutely a right way to do it on steam and kagura and otaku plan know it. They get everything on there no matter how degenerate. It's not ecchi, ecchi is fine, it's steam not wanting to get fucked over minors, especially when payment processors already sperged out at them. These games just need to adopt the patch model instead of selling out entirely. They can so it, but they'd either rather be lazy and think sales won't crater as a result, or they don't want the pc version making a mockery of consoles.
Japan lost
>>735826371>Censored bullshit>Also keeping that piece of shit male MCThis fucking series is a cockroach. Instead on learning from their past mistakes caused by that Sun shitfest, they are going to make more mistakes. A prime example of what happens when an already forgettabe shitshow doesn't listen to its 50+ fans
>>735840132>The Japanese do focus on different things fetishwise nowadays since 10 years ago THIS
>>7358405081. The characters are high schoolers, they aren't the youngest girls out there2. Fumio may be the only character who wears a training bra3. They are wearing camisoles4. The straps of their bras are still visible (complete with the sliders)...and...5. It doesn't change the fact that the new version is censoredThe original version has the uncensored scenes bu only on Sony consoles and PC at least for now, that won't be the case on Nintendo consoles however.
>>735827610Careful!You will summon the Japanese bikini schizo talking like that.
>>735841095Patches actually could allow them to monetize a second time too even if it would be scummy. Shouldn't these guys, if they are really otaku, know about circumvention considering that all modern ecchi anime has done it through BDs, paid channels, streaming services, OVA, theaters? You don't see censorship in ecchi anime, in fact nowadays we get loli sex, it is because they caught on very early given how shit broadcast is and have been circumventing ever since. Sometimes I wonder if these guys are actual otaku or if they just put ecchi elements in to bait easy purchases like early VNs did with sex scenes. You can see stuff like Disgaea still going on uncensored, so it isn't like it is coming from anywhere but within each specific company.
>>735826371>game about Japanese teenage girls>look behind curtains>all made by middle aged Japanese men
>>735827610This is not a higher power twisting their arm. It's gusts own doing and Mel is doing damage control.
>>735840315It's because he is the shill that is always making blue reflection generals defending this shit.
>randoms still seething at the chad male mc therekek
>>735840508You're actually coping. The original Blue Reflection released prior to Sony's post-2018 censorship policies/Anti-Fiction restrictions. (Note: In regards the branch leading PlayStation, it's the American Sony Interactive Entertainment) Since 2022, Nintendo (of Japan) has allowed its western branches (Nintendo of America and Europe) to create their own censorship policies/Anti-Fiction restrictions. These Anti-Fiction restrictions supersede age-ratings boards. Microsoft has enforced Anti-Fiction restrictions since around Gal*Gun. Steam has enforced Anti-Fiction restrictions since around The Key to Home, and even after allowing porn games, they still censor fiction, such as banning the PSVita port of Tokyo Clanpool. In regards to mobile, Apple and Google have enforced Anti-Fiction restrictions to censor fictional content numerous times. Something like K Manga's censorship exists in compliance to Apple and Google's Anti-Fiction policies.The original Blue Reflection is the unrestricted/uncensored version. Any new version is censored and unironically safe horny. Safe horny = horniness under restrictions.
Don't care, still buying it
>>735826371>It's going to be fun, isn't it?>Comments turns offjesus, they already know it's going to be a dumpster fire. what is the point of remastering and re-releasing a game if you're going to screw with it? I'm so fucking tired of these devs wanting to have their cake and eat it too and then shrugging their shoulders after the fact and acting like they never had any idea fans might be upset about the changes.
>>735826371Saw the news earlier and I never had any doubt about this would be censored. Another hard pass.
>>735841828They are JCP faggots and feel like they are entitled to do as they please.
>>735826371>>735841763 (me)Sample examples of platform holders' Anti-Fiction restrictions being enforced -Steam: (see image) & https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/updated-steamwatch-controversy-erupts-after-key-to-home-gets-removed-from-steamApple: https://automaton-media.com/en/news/japanese-gacha-rpg-rejected-by-ios-review-again-despite-revising-all-in-game-illustrations/Google: https://news.sankakucomplex.com/2025/01/04/azur-lane-removing-lewd-skins-due-to-google-play-censorship/PlayStation: https://automaton-media.com/en/news/upcoming-bishoujo-game-gets-particularly-heavy-censorship-in-japanese-playstation-release/Microsoft: https://automaton-media.com/en/news/steam-hearts-and-advanced-variable-geo-saturn-tributes-xbox-one-releases-canceled-due-to-microsoft-asking-for-major-changes-to-originals-provocative-content/Nintendo: https://zzzchan.xyz/v/thread/279551.html (thread with in-depth list)
>>735841509I think a lot of it is just clinging to consoles and whatever rules they have. Japan isn't very pc oriented even if it is growing over there and these corporations can be incredibly stubborn and stuck in their ways. A shame the games suffer as a result.
>>735826371aren't the censored parts the whole reason anyone would get this? no I bet it was the gamepl-pffthahaha
>>735841682Hey, I would never defend censorship of fictional content, the fact that Blue Reflection has always been a victim of censorship sucks.
>>735842121I swear there has to be a way to get around it. Maybe having you scan a QR code on a site and you game will know what to do. There is always a place you can innovate, always a way to move around problems.
>>735842028 (me)>>735840771Image attached is Gust's Ar Nosurge DX (2021) being censored exclusively on Steam. This was after Steam allowed porn since late-2018.Steam restricts/censors bishoujo games, regardless of explicitly pornographic content.>>735842121In regards to Steam, Gust would still have to use an off-site patch to restore noncompliant fictional content.
>>735841604Nobody with a functioning memory believes this is just Gust. コンプラ guidelines are industry wide, enforced by payment and broadcast platforms, and are slowly gutting the ability of products to compete in the market. Censorship like this is a very simple, visible way to show the world that the artists aren't in control - to show somebody else said "no". The cheap platitudes developers are forced to offer are just them hoping to buy time and not increase arbitrary restriction. There are no clear rules for broadcast, which puts the power in the relationship on the part of the censor. They'll remember if you pointed the blame back at the real source.It sucks. Nobody's winning but the people that want to usurp the market. You can't seriously look at something like this:>>735841209and tell yourself 'exploitation' is getting better. It's getting worse. Frankly the market that filled the gap through gacha extracts more from the people that spend their time on it. Men and women all.
>>735830397Yup, Koei Tecmo's western branches make any censorship worse, despite audiences explicitly not wanting censorship/restrictions. (See image attached)Beyond compliance to platform holders' Anti-Fiction restrictions, localizers are allowed to create their own Anti-Fiction restrictions to censor fictional content. See image attached. Unless localizers are tardwrangled by the Japanese branch, even fiction released on uncensored platforms can be censored/restricted at the source.
>>735841604This is the case. Browntards can never ever explain how series like Disgaea never got censored. The UN realizes it can't beat Japan, so it is instead focusing on convincing people it is over for Japan with no evidence.
>>735843032The chain was about that.>Gust would still have to use an off-site patch to restore noncompliant fictional content.This is infinitely better than just universally censoring the game with no recourse. Steam has a problem with lewding underage characters but they're still far more lenient than any console. These corporations need to learn how to adapt instead of just giving the fuck up.
>2017 was almost 10 years ago
>>735841249Sun was actually killed because the gacha rates and pity (which didn't carried over btw) was so terrible that no whale wanted to pay 300 bucks for a single character that would still force them to roll like 1500 bucks mroe of dupes so they could limit break their new characters to the max. the male mc made westerns /u/tars mad yes, but everyone that played said that him being there was whatever since he was a literal silent mc in most of the time. with him there or not, the story and events were a terrible mess and just didn't helped to keep interest alive. anyone outside Japan needed a vpn to play it so that alone killed a lot of their revenue. also the grind was worse than fucking Granblue. No niche series would survive going full retard at release. it was 100% made to scam the japanese fans but it failed hard because they forgot that not a single series that sells like 20k copies of their games is popular to get a million or two every month in Japan only. and unironically surprised how Resleri is still alive since it suffers from lots of the problems BRSun had.
>>735843032>Steam restricts/censors bishoujo games, regardless of explicitly pornographic content.More like it's Koei's stupid decision, game is unavailable in my region, so as their fighting game, but I still can buy blue reflection with lesbian schoolgirls.
>>735843787>buy blue reflection with lesbian schoolgirlsThe sequel, yeah.
>>735843662>the male mc made westerns /u/tars mad yes, but everyone that played said that him being there was whatever since he was a literal silent mc in most of the time. with him there or not, the story and events were a terrible mess and just didn't helped to keep interest alive.And his shit existence still ruined the whole series. Why are you justifying someone who should have never existed to begin with? This is like saying that we should be happy that Bridget is a trans
>>735843787>More like it's Koei's stupid decision,you know that Shibusawa have two daughters that are literally directors at KT right? yes, two daughters that are literally KT owners. you can easily understand why women wouldn't want to see women, even fictional ones, being sexually objectified, right?
This won't be in Blue Reflection Quartet then.
>>735844178Does being attractive make you an object?
>>735843935the game was made to scam japanese players not for your cuck delusions so cope and seethe for another 2 years.
>>735826371It was inevitable.
>>735844413eurape should be glassed
>>735826371Wait you mean they censored the games that released years ago?
>>735844178In that case they should reconsider their game portfolio.
>>735844413Woah. I was going to post this image. Here's what I wrote in regards to it:Image attached shows what compliance to the West does to companies like Square Enix. Even though I've been blaming Anti-Fiction platform holders, companies are still to blame for failing to provide an alternative. Ultimately, compliant companies have accepted the Anti-Fiction "global standards," accepted cancel culture targeting fictional expression, and accepted fiction scapegoating which blames fiction for nonfictional harm.>>735843510I don't disagree. Using an analogy to anime prior to global streaming, Steam becomes like Japan's stricter TV stations, while off-site patches and non-Steam releases are like BD/DVD releases or Satellite/Premium TV stations (like AT-X).>>735843787Ar Nosurge DX released uncensored on PS4 (even after Sony's post-2018 censorship policies) and Switch. It is objectively Steam's Anti-Fiction restrictions that censored the 2021 remaster.Of course, the situtation is even worse now that the Switch is a restricted/censored platform, especially in the West. See >>735842028 (me)
>Got his game ported and upgraded to consolesHe won
>>735841209Wasn't this game censored to hell and back recently?
>>735835972
>>735844684Rate your game 18+ and steam will accept it. Cyberpunk did this, and sells without problems with its dicks and vaginas.
>>735840031This, not to mention millennials nor zoomers are having kids, if they want to kill the remaining whites go ahead, let's see how much all the parasites can survive kek
>>735845109I do kind of wonder if a lot of games get rejected because they refuse to just take the 18+ label.
So is this series yuri or no?
>>735835092>>735835454Genshit and ZZZ are both censored and Korea gave spats to Damiene in Crimson Desert
>>735844178>>735844279The more I think about it the more this bothers me. Attractiveness is a form of power. Why would you let someone tell you it makes you an object?
>>735845397Yes and no. It depends on the game.
>>735835972You remove everything that isn't "necessary" and you're left with nothing.
>>735826371PIRAT_NATION MAKE THIS VIRAL
>>735845345Can't have an 18+ game if the characters are younger than 18
>>735841604>This is not a higher power twisting their armIt is. Through culture in the best scenario.You are a fool.
It really has been a long time, some trailers of the first game show a few seconds of censored scenes/content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f_zk8RlN2w
>>735832113No one will be drafted kek.Do you really think men will just take it? Unless our countries are invaded no one will ever fall for it, we'd laugh at it and keep going on with our lives.The draft idea for Europe is simply ludicrous.
>>735827610You were warned. Japan was never immune to globohomo, it was just 5 years behind the rest of the world. And now its catching up fast
>>735845474Because the (((tribe))) is matriarchal and like any matriarchal cult they are just ugly roasties who want to censor beauty out of spite and jealousy, yeah even fucking fictional women.Elites are dead inside, imagine your goal being make everything ugly just because your life is fucking shit lmao
>>735832113What do these retards think will happen when whites and Asians are gone? It will be like those CROSSED comics where everyone rapes and eats
>>735826371>If we do this, the people who hate us will buy our products!

>>735838189Not my job retard im just telling you how it is Those mainstream gacha are safe horny
Will they delist the uncensored games?
>>735846346That remains to be seen.
>>735846346Probably. They've done it for basically every other game they've ever rereleased.
>>735826371so glad i'm not a weeb pedo, it sounds like a lot of work being so pissed off all the time
>>735845954It is actually 5-10 years ahead and has utterly btfo'd you guys and your new world order. Globohomo fears the Samurai.
>>7358463462 was already censored and toned down.
just dont buy their shit and let them pay their bills with their superior morals.
>>735845109>Rate your game 18+ and steam will accept it. Cyberpunk did this, and sells without problems with its dicks and vaginasNo Steam wouldn't. Firstly, Cyberpunk 2077 isn't rated as adults-only on Steam. Otherwise, you would have to create a Steam account to view the store page. Secondly, Cyberpunk 2077 is Rated M (17+) in the United States and Canada.Steam treats ecchi (softcore sexual fictional expression) bishoujo (search it up for a definition) - regardless of explicit nudity and sex - as a violation of Rule 8.As an Anti-Fiction restriction, Rule 8 has been used to censor Japanese and Japanese-styled fictional content. From 2017's The Key to Home (an all-ages visual novel) to Order Us (an 18+ English-only visual novel) to Dungeon Travelers II (a rated M and CERO D PSVita game) to Tokyo Clanpool (a CERO D PSVita game), Steam enforces censorship of fictional expression by superseding age-ratings boards.Notably, Tokyo Clanpool's publisher East Asia Soft was willing to censor for a Steam release just like they did for the Asian Switch release, but the game was banned from Steam. (They also got banned from the Switch per Nintendo of America and Europe's post-2023 Anti-Fiction restrictions. See: >>735842028 [me]) Dungeon Travelers II's English option used the version censored by Atlus West as evidenced by the later Johren release. Order Us was banned for it's anime-styled character being too petite and minor-coded. (I will attach an image for Order of Us next to show how ridiculous this was).Muramasa and Rance 5D+VI were banned too, although likey for rape (violation of Rule 7 and 15). Now, Rance has to release not with an 18+ rating, rather it has to be released as a censored, completely safe-for-work and sanitized version.
>>735846704>Globohomo fears the Samurai>he said in a thread about a japanese game getting censored for a japanese game platformThe delusion is nuts but whatever helps you cope.
>>735846794 (me)Image attached is in regard to Order Us.
>>735843510The problem is the unevenness on Steam. Some games, even outright porn, seem to be just fine without issue - others, its an issue. It seems to come down to a handful of people who are reviewing such things and go fucking crazy, vs others who don't seeem to care. In the days before te Adult section, there was some sort of dont-ask-dont-tell thing and some games are grandfathered in (VRKanojo) that allow you to use an adult-mode patch from elsewhere to upgrade the default non-porn version. However, since Adult they are kinda cracking down on that because a bunch of fucktards basically try to get the wider advertising of a standard release for a porn game, and then put links to the porn enable patch in the forum or whatever, instead of just properly flagging the thing as porn from the start.
>>735827330This is the stupidest reason to censor art and something needs to be done about it.
>>735826371It's funny how the "Learn Japanese" troons are always quiet for this shit.>>735827610Has been for years. Japan just emulates the west 5-10 years behind, so that includes the idpol tranny brainrot + censorship as well.Tokyo is going to look like Kolkata 2.0 by 2035.
>>735826371DROPPEDI will not support censorship in any form.
>>735846934Why the hell is Steam of all companies like this?
>>735832250good job making up that story in your head, it almost sounds believable
>>735829625>>735831780If this is a game for grown men, this is a bit too much. It's just kinda weird. I'm a weeb myself, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
>even yuri games with some fanservice are not safe anymoreGust has been dead ever since Atelier stopped having anime openings. It is a common trend in these games. The yuri gets removed, anime openings get removed, game mechanica for above 100 iq fans get removed, etc etc. If you want the old japanese sovl you better start supporting nip indie devs as soon as you can.
>>735846794>>735846934Completely ridiculous because as the user points out, Steam has much worse offenders with no controversy.
>>735847521Jap indies aren't safe from the troon mind virus either. If they have socials they start harassing them on there and crying about how problematic some shit is.That happened to one dev over a girl's standing posture in the game he was making because it triggered the troon @ing him and he changed it.
>>735847473you are a tourist, out
>>735847473Note: the collage is the result of a mod, you can't put the characters in their undies through conventional means, not even in the original versions for PS Vita, PS4 and PC.And no, it's not a made for ''grown men'' in the sense that it's only rated T for Teen, CERO C, PEGI 16 and USK 16 :)The only place where Blue Reflection got the highest rating possible was Australia (rated R18+ there).
All because of credit card companies btw, Steam would absolutely not care otherwise.Sure you're free to express yourself and draw taboo stuff, but you can't sell it because of credit card companies? Artists are demotivated from drawing the things people wanna see, they can't get paid, they can't live, so the art dies. And they've got such absurd and ugly restrictions too...That's pretty bad. We should really work on fixing this somehow.
>>735846823Go back to India saar
>>735847426Prior to the CollectiveShout bullshit, I would say it was only a handful of reviewers. It was like getting a "hanging judge", where if you got a fair minded one you were fine. After Collective Shout payment provider bullshit being added, now its wanting to avoid the ire of Visa/MC and others that are under the thumb of these insanities, but its still relatively rare. I think the big issue is that that they seem to take any sort of "implied, by our oversensitive axe wounds" issue of underaged characters. Oh are the characters petite and anime? Well that's children! Are they huge titted and assed but short? Oh no no no! Does it take place in a school , even if the characters are specifically stated to be 18+? Fuck you! Is there a 800 year old dragon but has a loli body type? Right to hell for you! Frankly I think we need a campaign to push back against censorship, especially payment providers but also game publishers. Steam has plenty of adult content , even anime related that has some relatively /d/ stuff (including monster fucking /breeding) and even fucking ryona that seems pretty insane. Its clear Steam doesn't want to censor , but I'm not sure if they're thinking they're walking some line with regulations or if its just not wanting to get JURINALISTS whining about all the loli porn problematic hurrdurr or something else.
>>735847521The series didn't even have yuri until the sequel and even then the game barely even had any. These yuri revisionists are out of control.
>>735848135>Frankly I think we need a campaign to push back against censorship, especially payment providersIt'd be nice to have SOME kind of movement going, similar to "stop killing games". That one got so much traction going, and it all started with one man.
>>735830760>Japan just shovels it down because "it can't be helped"Every time.
>>735826371Gust is dead, move on. Thankfully they can't take the original out of my steam library
>>735847473Yes I draw the line to the bankruptcy where I'll bury Gust.
>>735848221just because they dont kiss on screen doesnt mean they are not into each other. gust made bunch of yuri games. just because they add eye candy that even retards like you can latch on, doesnt mean that the fucking studio who made OG atelier games and yoru no nai kuni did not intend their all-girls games having big yuri tropes not not imply anything. stupid dumbass faggot
>>735840771Why do I find Blue Reflection sexy but this absolutely disgusting?
>>735848520It wouldn't matter. If they delist the original, uncensored release then it's abandonware, and if that's the case then one is morally correct to pirate it.
>>735840132>I know this is a demoralization thread ran by brown retards. But he is likely saying that the list of fetishes changed,Blue Reflection is a 10 year old game kys not only did they not replace anything they removed, the things they removed look shitty and bad like being wrapped in a towel while in the shower.This is 4kids era censorship.
>>735848815>If they delist the original, I'll seed it for a billion years
>>735830760>I'LL BUY IT DAY 1 ON STEAMWhat kind of retard buys a re-release, not just for the censorship, but because it's a simple re-release on steam at full price? holy fucking shit
>>735847473This. I fell in love with the game because of the world and music, not because of the girls underwear... I've just went through the same shit with Fatal Frame so I'm getting used to it. It's just sad you guys would rather watch those series die because you can't see a bit of fabric in specific cutscenes.
>>735848413I think this is something that has to go beyond a single person or focal point. Having one man as the face of it will basically be accused of being a pedo nearly instantly. Any and everything they've said or done will be scrutinized with the worst possible implications etc. If we can instead get a headless movement around the ideal, even if the opposition tries to claim any individual supporter is a horrid pedo because they admitted to liking loli manga on some discord channel years ago, the entire movement won't be impugned.
>>735848629it's not a yuri game if it relies on fan shipping and head canon. yuri / yaoi fans are the most delusional where they have to force themselves into everything else and yell the loudest that characters fit their head canon. fuck off with your delusions, the first blue reflection had a plot about a girl having a crush on a boy.
>>735849057SOMEONE has to spear-head this somewhat.Change CAN happen, but people need to be willing to put in the effort to make it happen.
>>735849050blow your head off, fake fan. if you were a "REAL FAN" you'd want the original experience and not some fanfiction made to appease western jews and their credit card minions
>>735849057Wouldn’t the best way be to piggieback on what Japan is doing?I forget his name, but there’s a politician over there who’s fighting for anti-censorship. Obviously his country is his primary concern, but if he’s successful then maybe he could offer some help for other regions.
>>735849050>I've just went through the same shit with Fatal Frame so I'm getting used to it.Oh you're getting used to being fucked in the ass? Yeah you seem like a faggot.
>>735848948Also, I don't want to wash away history here - the original English release's model viewer is censored. It's such a piss poor censor job compared to what you can get away with that I forget that it is. I still can't figure out why they bothered.
>>735835163It's a shame they can't pivot to China because the ccp does the same thing.
>>735840031Nigger Ukraine has been kidnapping people off the street for their retarded suicide war and nobody did anything.>but muh gunsMutts won't do shit
>>735849069Second Light has a canon yuri romance on top of all its bait so it is a yuri game. The first one isn't.
>>735849069I dont even know where to start with asomeone as retarded as you. Plenty yuri has some girl having feelings for a boy or being hetero in general. Does that make the yuri work suddenly not yuri anymore? Is Girl Friends not yuri anymore? You fucking stupid monkeys never even read yuri or you would instantly see what Gust did with BOTH Blue Reflection games by putting bunch of yuri tropes into it. But you are unironically too uneducated to grasp this one simple thing. To add to that, you most likely spent too much time in these /v/ threads discussing the underwear so you actually started to think these were games for (you). Dumb fucking piece of shit. Kill yourself.
>>735828152>Westerners We haven't been the target market for a long time. The target market is the billion chinks
>>735849434This.Idk if this will happen but those ukraine vids were brutalMight as well shoot these niggas if they force a draft
>>735849050Where would you draw that line? The humor? (the jokes literally make no sense if they are not naked in the bath scene) the combat? (you see pantsu shots all of the time there) removing the ecchi from a vita era weeb game is removing its soul because the whole game is built around that. This is "ACTUALLY, I LOVE 4KIDS! GUNS AND NUDITY ADD NOTHING TO THE EXPERIENCE!" censorfag cope.
>>735841518Are you retarded? What an incredibly stupid post.
Things are literally just gonna get worse, we have to stop this bullshit.

>>735849461yes and i started off saying the first one didnt.BR1- no yuri outside of shihori's rapist antics so if you consider that yuri then astrid in arland being a rapist is also yuri.Anime- insignificant yuri sub plot that could be removed and nothing of value lostSL- yuri sub plot that is forced and out of place. plot is dropped and never brought up again with it mostly being insignificant overall.Sun - Yuri removedSo you have 2/4 entries with no real yuri. the series was never about the yuri but since it had themes that yuri fans like they jumped on and pretended that the series was made just for them.
>>735827610I realized this last year when I saw a protest in Japan where people didn't want to take in immigrants with different culture and while a protestor was giving an interview to a news camera some globohomo operative was shutting down his speech by calling him racist constantly next to him, making the interview failing.
>>735832113>The good news is that banning smoking was interrupted by gaming, so banning anime/gaming will eventually just lead to another cool thing that we enjoy for 40 years before our "masters" make a heel turn on it.They're getting fast at banning shit, is the problem. Before, a credit card empire controlling an entire entertainment industry would have resulted in at least a few senators questioning them, now? Nothing. They're entirely complicit. The 'cool new thing' of our generation was AI, but even that is starting to get censored and taken down, with dumber and dumber guard rails being put in place. We were a few years of being able to just make our own games and telling these dinosaur developers who kissed the boot to go to hell. Now they're scaling it back, aware that this will collapse multiple industries and make us want to work less than ever.
>>735849713you never read yuri in your life thats why the common yuri tropes all over the game evade you. ignorance is truly bliss. both games are yuri. the second one clearly more in your face. stop coping like the delusional c/v/ck you are.
>>735847473Why not draw the line at allowing homosexuality and leaving heterosexuality alone?

Reminder that you can still get loli characters that show a lot of skin on consoles and Steam. Majogami wasn't an "ecchi" or "panty quest" kind of game, but it did have pic related and released on both PS5 and Switch. Steam got delayed because they had to put a "mature content" warning on it. The game actually has a very wholesome and touching story though, again, it's not really an ecchi game. There is an implied yuri kiss though. I don't know if BR1 would be okay uncensored or if Gust is just preemptively doing this to not take any chances. I only played BR1 and don't remember them groping each other or anything and there's no implied sex. The girls in their underwear should be able to get by, that shows as much skin as a normal bikini would show.
>>735849730Watch NHK world sometime. Its nothing but globohomo. I think the actual NHK is not much better.
>>735849713>yuri sub plot that is forced and out of place. plot is dropped and never brought up again with it mostly being insignificant overall.A lot of what you said is true but that part, it reads like someone who didn't play the second game. It's not forced or out of place (the love between those two is handled really well) and it's not ''x loves y but let's forget it now''.
>>735836751Japanese Nigerus don't think about the future, only the present. They are even more groomed by corporations than we are .
>>735849661Wtf are you talking about nigga? Are you saying the forced draft are fake
>>735847473I'm not gonna chastise you for your standards but you have to learn about the wild and wacky world of otaku/bishoujo games at some point.
>>735826371>Yurishit is censored Good
>>735849869I don't believe things are actually okay.I think that's an exception that managed to slip through, and it's only going to get harder to slip through the more we leave the situation alone.
>>735849831I hope you get the censorship you want since it will lead to the censorship you don't want. Depending on how much of bootlicker you are it will take longer since you'll just change what you like to what's allowed, but eventually it'll happen to you.
>>735849974You triggered the Eglin bot, since they rely on outrage metrics to devote resources to, he's going to try getting in a 3 hour argument with you for defying one of the three or four Holy Wars the US is in right now.
>>735849915their romance subplot essentially ends after their chapter and you can even go on dates with either of them with no unique dialogue or events. if they took the romance seriously they would have done more than just push it into the background after their chapter ended. those 2 characters only existed to push a yuri plot essentially and they half assed it and basically just killed it after the confession.
>>735826371The number of sales are going to be different too
>>735850015I don't believe antis like that are the norm, actually. I think there's alot more people out there who understand the difference between fiction and reality.
>>735850015>I hope you get the censorship you want since it will lead to the censorship you don't wantI don’t care about videotoys
>>735826371who cares the games were ass anywaysalso>yuriepsteinfags ww@???
>>735849993Pretty much this, things are not OK. If they were to up their age rating they could probably get through, but even then it's a crap shoot. The point is to instill a culture of fear because these games are not free to make. So they rather make slop that has nothing in it than get banned and not be able to sell anything at all.
>>735850075Woosh. I'm not surprised.
>>735849974sorry but i have no reason to respond to a propaganda bot and/or indian
>>735835092There is barely any skin in gacha
>>735849869Majogami had this and they even made sure to specifically state the girl on the left is 6 lol
>>735850015You think they care?Reminder, to them, your video games aren't even important.

>>735829625Literal perfection
>>735850216DLSite has one already but this game isn't coming out on DLSite so it doesn't matter.
>>735850060...No, they are are multple scenes after Rena's chapter, in particular that other Heartscape, where the romance subplot is imporant, we even see them hugging on screen and there is an event where you as the player can decide if they should hold hands or if one should use the lap of the other girl as a pillow.Maybe they could have done a bit more as always (I guess?), but what I mentioned isn't just ''killed it after the confession''.
>>735850062It'd be impressive if it sold even less, but given that this is a glorified remaster package then it certainly wasn't expensive to slap together either. Probably why they're charging standard retail price for 2 games and 2 repurposed side stories.
>>735850407this is probably the actual reason: Censor and gouge people because Gust is on death's doorstep without some injection of life. Even if it makes $0 the fact that there was a publisher who bankrolled it at all keeps their doors open
Meanwhile s. korea
>>735849993Dolls Nest also had a character creator with a chest slider that lets you go board-flat while the game retains the ability to tilt the camera low and look at you nymph's panties. It was Steam-only but I believe it could get passed on consoles if they wanted it to. Not an ecchi game at all though, nothing with groping, jerking off your Vita, or questionable event CGs. Just simple low camera angles being possible. I want to believe that "normal" niche anime games that happen to have a few sexy aspects are still okay but not like the Vita-era ones where they were basically soft-core porn and had you stroking your Vita. I thought I remembered BR1 being pretty tame though.But your right, nothing is okay and most of the world is going collectively insane in recent years.
>>735850551Yeah but I got to play a really shitty phone game and pay hundreds to get even one of those. Koreans are simply price gouging and should not be encouraged
>>735849993Theres nothing you can do. GamerGate tried it 10 years ago and failed. Fire Emblem Awakening censorship was part of that discussion but any movement will be co-opted by grifters and /pol/ fags which leads to irrelevant culture war bullshit instead of.In life, part of maturing is that there are some things outside of your control and you need to accept it. People are back to caring about fictional characters more than the dozens of celebrities that raped and ate kids on Epstein's island. Hes actually just become a funny meme at this point which is really cool!
>>735850578BR1 Is the tamest of the Gust RPGs of the Vita, what is probably happening is they're getting ready to release it on multiple platforms who do NOT cater to those standards and thus they need the censorship to even pass say Nintendo's morality check. Only hope is if it's moddable on Steam.

>>735850642No, I think getting American laws passed to stop credit card companies from pulling their bullshit is feasible actually.Gamergate is not at ALL comparable, and most people abandoned ship early on because they realized it's stupid.
>>735828872Lesbians in media used to be for straight men to enjoyleftoids managing to "claim" two hot women making out for their lgbtroon agenda is one of the greatest tragedies
>>735835092Yes
>>735850894Most serious people abandoned gamergate when it just became "Get ragebaited by the proto-sharteen just like >>735850642 on twitter". The same people who make those posts are the ones trying to tell you "Stop fighting us, I mean them, you can't do anything".
>>735850894 I have never once heard of a credit card blocking the sale of a console game.
>>735826371Today's "standards" are the dumbest fucking thing ever. I hate modern society.
Anyone thinking if Credit card jews back off from gaming we get ecchi and pantsu back is delusional. This has been ongoing since 2018, the CCCs only started attacking Japanese games in the last few COVID years.Japanese creators just genuinely have Otaku's Remorse. They believe all the "male gaze" bullshit now.They look at their 2010s Vita games and wish they'd have never made them.
>>735851089That phase has long passed, dude. People don't pretend to be outraged by sexy girls anymore.
>>735826371>but, uh, don't worry about that.But I do. Why should I bother with an inferior product? Even if you gave it to me for free, why should I bother when the original is better? Even if they perhaps couldn't faithfully remake the original. Then why the fuck bother at all?
>>735849390>>735835163>>735833530>>735832345its all really sad that the only payment processors that allow it is their own fucking banksfuckin jews n chinks
Regarding the post made by >>735849050 I want to say this: I don't agree with the censorship of Blue Reflection Quartet, I don't like censorship and it's a shame that it'll be censored, but people, one can like the Blue Reflection games or consider oneself a Blue Reflection fan and, maybe not dislike the fan service, but at least be indifferent to it, especially considering that unlike other series, the fan service in Blue Reflection, for the most part, is to complement moments of the story or give characterization to the characters (sometimes at least) but not comedy or humor, unlike something like Neptunia and Senran Kagura, where the humor/comedy and fan service go hand in hand, not to mention that the fan service is purely cosmetic and often involves optional scenes...the scenes of the characters in their undies in particular don't give you anything as the player, you don't get a permanent stat boost like ''HP +5'' unlike the (also optional) events of the characters in the showers of the school. One can ignore the fan service in Blue Reflection because a lot of it (not all of it) is optional and purely cosmetic.Nothing wrong if someone loves Blue Reflection because of the world, the music, or the characters.
>>735850982It's really bizarre how it feels like he's begging me to give up..
are they censoring the old games on steam?
>>735851219What have you actually done? Other than whine on an anonymous message board?
>>735850216Its only for japs.
We will be buying Quartet, Sun alone(previously lost media) is worth the price. Plus Ray without having to watch the ultra low budget anime.
>>735851064The standards are just "Shut up and bow and kiss tranny feet and jew rings while they rape real children because if you have any fun at all you may not die for Israel in Iran."
>>735831780Wait, was the game previously censored at some point?
>>735851287No, but going off of the Atelier DX releases, they'll be delisting them. I doubt they get any final sales and BR1 (the one that's getting censored in the new version) is pretty pricey on its own.
>>735851203>Blue Reflection fan and, maybe not dislike the fan service, but at least be indifferent to it, Not in BR1 though, it's literally relevant to the plot. One of the girls being naked is part of the story.

>>735851454Not really and I say it as someone who likes the fan service of Blue Reflection at times. If you are talking about those multiple scenes of Hinako taking a bath and naked, then yeah, I agree, it's the part of ''complement the story or characterization of the characters'' but almost everything else is optional.>>735851561I didn't say anything like that. Then again, I have the first game physically, I can't deny that it may be easy to accept or tolerate the unnecessary censorship if one has the first game.

>>735853669At least another person said the same thing, unless it was you. The characters are young and Hinako has to learn that there is more to life than ballet, like other Japanese IPs, the characters being high school students is relevant in the story, it wouldn't be the same if they were 18 or in their early 20s. Also, they *are* naked in the first game, but being a game developed specifically for consoles means that there aren't explicit details of course. Blue Reflection has ''Partial Nudity'' as one of its content descriptors after all.
Keep in mind that 20+ years ago, whether you were on the left or the right, altering cultural products was seen as utterly ridiculous.In that movie "Thank You for Smoking" (2006), they end joking the senator (or whatever he was), showing various changes to classic films he forced, where cigarettes or other things were replaced with harmless objects.That was considered hilarious back then...
>>735852796Well yeah, we're almost a decade out from Sony absolutely fucking everything up. We're a ways down the slippery slope by now.
>>735853840
>>735853787Never ever, yurifag
>>735848090valve banned key to home explicitly because of personal taste long before payment processors breathed down their neck
>>735826371This a group of people willingly phasing themselves out of existence because they refuse to have sex. What do you expect from such a pathetic ass country?
Reminder that gust has never given a shit about yuri outside of NoA.
>>735853706who said that?it's just that the western slop is flopping and underperforming all around and the general public is cheering for it to failthe cultural swift already happened, it's just that games take 5+ years to make nowadays
>>735853913>where cigarettes or other things were replaced with harmless objectsJoking, he says.
>>735853787You posted that image, now I'll post this one too.
>>735854070japan isn't going to change since ESG is different and for the most part their games sell regardless. most of japan sales are overseas from china anyway and they are fags that want the censorship.
>>735854030You say this as though Mimi wasn't profoundly gay for Totori back in like 2010.
>>735854169how musky does Uta get wearing those?
>>735854272I wonder...
>>735832474Just move out of the city faggot lol
Ryza really killed the yuri fans.
>>735854180Chinese citizens don't want censorship, their government does. Its like the opposite of America where citizens beg for censorship of media and the goberment doesnt really care.
I hope they left the character events in Sun atleast. The game had a lot of good art and it's most likely lost forever now.
>>735854457>he doesn't know about the ASMR
>>735854678platonic friendship and non canon anyway. gust can pretend to play both sides but when it comes down to it they will never go full yuri.
>>735841703Damn dude, I think you only care about that chud male MC instead of cute girls. Why don't you suck his dick?
Well, another Blue Reflection thread that reached the bump limit...
>>735853787Based Ao chad.
>>735837079I get payment processors. But what made cero cuck?
>>735854820
>>735847872and you're a pedo, pal
>>735837547Tell him to upload on dlsite instead
>>735832113Shut the fuck up bro nobody believes this bullshit. It's up to Japan if they want to commit economic suicide by catering to the mythical social responsible pervert.
>>735855025Black and white event but yeah, there's a brief pantyshot.
The only way to fight back against this is if Elon Musk made his own payment processor to compete with Jewsa and Mastelaviv or something. Otherwise they'll continue strongarming everyone into doing whatever the fuck they want.
>>735855756He cucked Grok Imagine after like 2 weeks, he's not your based billionaire otaku bro.
>>735827330But why? How is this supposed to make them more money?
>>735849180Oh I agree people need to put in the effort, but a focus on the issues instead of a particular content creator at the center means that it can't be upended by simply calling him a pedo and providing tenuous "receipts" or outright fabrications like in all the various gaming youtuber 'drama' channels. >>735849238>Japan Certainly we can align, but the issues here and there may have some differences at times. Do you mean Zenko Kurishita? I know he's spoken out about credit cards censorship of platforms. I think the guy who's the head of Reiwa or one of the JCP members also object to censorship. With enough focus around a unified campaign, perhaps we can get Kurishita to speak.
>>735841509>all modern ecchiThere has only been like 5 in the past 3 years.
