  • A new Neptunia Sisters vs Sister patch changes various dialogue. The language in Nep games is pretty tame to begin with, so these changes are quite unexpected.

    From what I heard recently:
    It’s really has to do with the fact that someone forgot to add “Language” into the rating description, all Neptunia games are T rated and have “Language” in the descriptions, so this is really a result of accidental “false marketing”, so they either had to censor themselves or recall every physical copy, which would be expensive, and re release all copies with the “language” fix

      Physical copies? I mean really, how many of those are even out in the wild? Last I checked physical has been on the decline in the states, let alone niche franchises like Neptunia. Seeing an actual day one release box copy of a Neptunia game in the states is like a fucking unicorn. Like, did this count for CERO too? I'd imagine not and I highly doubt they actually ship that many physical copies nowadays (also the game was only released on PC and PS4/PS5, so it's not like it was released on Switch too, most sales for these games are digital now, and physical sales usually come from limited editions).

      @@mitrikgaduk347 You might be correct that there likely weren't many physical copies of SVS made however you also have to consider that IFI is not a huge company and even a small scale recall might translate into a big financial hit. As such it makes sense that they decided to solve this via a patch. The bigger issue is that IFI didn't communicate this clearly (as can be seen in the confusion in this very video) thus leading to accusations of intentional censorship from some fans.

      @@electricindigoball1244 Honestly at this point can we consider them an Indie studio? Like, is Super Giant Games bigger than them at this stage? Cause' that's pretty pitiful. Iffy publishes numerous games, we're also talking about Compile Heart. They've been involved in numerous ventures and have partnered with various other companies. Hell, they even have exclusives with Sony, so I wanna call some bullshit on this excuse we all keep making. That's like saying Marvelous is about as small as them and that couldn't be further from the case (otherwise why would Sony bother buying them out?).
      Yes, I the primary issue is the lack of communication and the shadow-censorship, that's abundantly clear to anyone at this point. But the way it was gone about doing and excuses people are making for them is what you are ignoring. I refuse to believe that Iffy and Compile Heart are literally comparable to Indie Devs that release games every 3-4 years.
      (I only use SGG as an example because currently they are known for Hades, but their releases have been incredibly slow, I wouldn't call them a AAA studio at this point even with their successes, they simply don't have the manpower to do so, regardless of the fact that they are behind games like Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre which it should be noted the amount of time it's been between those releases. They literally only have 20 employees, I don't believe Iffy or Compile have fucking 20 people working for them.)

      @@mitrikgaduk347 I always saw Compile Heart as a AA studio and from what I understood IF is not much bigger but maybe I'm mistaken. I did a quick search and I found one source that claims that CH has 31 employees. Obviously the difference between indie and AA isn't set in stone but IMO once the team size is large enough where it is not feasible for all people in the team to know each other (and by "know" I mean more than a person's name, face and position) then it can no longer be considered an indie studio and 31 is beyond that number. CH also doesn't count as an indie studio to me because it depends on IF for publishing (it's also owned by IF and I don't think we would call studios owned by, for example, EA or Ubisoft "indie").
      Also can we really call this "shadow-censorship" when IFI has posted a blog post outlining exactly which lines they are changing down to whether the line had a voice line associated with it? In most cases these days when a game publisher gets accused of censorship it happens after the fact and the company in question doesn't even acknowledge it. Other than not being precise on the exact reason why the change is being made, IFI is way more transparent than I would have expected by the standards of other companies.

    I think one of the main reasons why Idea Factory International had to update the dialog because if you look at the ESRB notes for the reason why it has a Teen rating its missing the Language or Strong Language. Since the game does have some Language (or what the ESRB consider as language) its misleading that the game doesn't contain language. Probably someone at the ESRB got word that the game contains some type of language and now IFI has to comply or face fines.

    Seeing most of these comments saying that this is censorship is kind of missing some context since why this is happening was pretty much an accident. If you haven't read the few comment that are like mines (and you definitely should), you would see on SVS's cover that someone forgot to add "Language" into the rating description. Since they didn't have that part, they had three options. The first option was to get fine up to $1 million dollars, the second was to call back all the physical copies (which is also expensive), or the third option was to patch it up (which was cheaper). And guess which option they picked?
    This is strange since the previous games always had this and it was strange that they made a mistake that seemed so simple. My guess is that they were doing the simultaneous releases of the PC Port and the Console Releases, and somehow forgot to add it in since they were focusing on those releases. That's just a guess and nothing more but that's the only reason why this happened since they never did a simultaneous releases before. Though I know that this won't happen again, why? Since on the new Fairy Fencer game, they have "Language" as one of the rating description.

    Because of missing a descriptor yeah makes sense to inform consumers for sure. But then again they could have just added a profanity filter option like CODBOPs 2/Gears 360 entries had.
    Why do companies need change Nep games, it's literally for teens in age rating. TV shows for teens that are live action or have references to things have more swearing and worse swearing then many censored here. Why does Nep need to be for everyone.
    I think some companies could learn from a profanity filter option in their games not have everyone have to deal with everyone getting the censored version. I mean Japan has Z rated violent versions of games, no ecchi scenes visual novel versions exist too, so a profanity filter option isn't that hard.
    Besides you can get a magazine with stuff on the front cover, maybe inside and yet you can't have animated characters look a certain way like come on. The Censored Gaming video on that just sticks in my mind. The PS Magazines of the 2000s yeah that was weird when I saw that in Caddicarus cover that for the British versions of the magazines that I can understand.
    The suffer and others do seem off. Also no butt either huh. Keep both the clean and the swearing version for people via an option I think is best. Then again the west has characters swear (even if games or ratings have changed from some M to T I've heard and things yes have changed over time) but anime games eh it is awkward.
    I think swearing makes sense in the right context though but I don't hate seeing it. Then again you have other games at least with my rating system with some things that I get why if the setting makes it clear it can with signs of war (so I don't find the swearing that off to be included) like Valkyria Chronicles but others I'd have though it was PG then M like Dragon Quest Heroes but it says M/Teen and I barely even noticed the references that made it T or M in the first place because it was so little or light more to a PG anyway I couldn't tell.
    I never got phased by Star Wars to COD (did the red screens bother me yes but I got over it). Same with having anime games with an R rating I'm surprised some are digital only because my stores won't carry them but I can pick up Conception Plus physical with implied things then well staring at 3D models option if you even know how to access it/underwear in Gal Gun 2/Double Peace and Returns is Teen/M15 so no idea why I can't pick that up physical still oh wait. Senran Kagura also digital only too.

    The bigest issue here is that IFI didn't communicate the exact reason for the changes (lack of "Language" in the raiting description). The way I see it IFI should make it possible for people to re-enable the old script with, for example, a free "original script DLC". This might be enough to repair part of the damage done by this announcement until Neptunia GameMaker R:Evolution releases in Japan in August (since it will also release on Switch there is a possibility that it might include fan service content that was missing from SVS which was originally released only for the PS4).

      Agreed Uncharted and others do have the swearing kept (many western games get away with things that anime games don't though), no profanity filter option either as a solution to this Nep censoring is odd did no one in the company think about an option to remove text and dialogue redubbing or toggle for either or is CH and IF too particular about games having alters for that sort of thing because the localisation can only change the text and audio only? (COD Black Ops 2 and Gears I forget which entries had them in the PS3/360 era but no one does them now).
      I see games like Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2 have Teen/M and Valkyria Chronicles 4 (with war themes and swearing I can see why it makes sense) but I couldn't tell you a single swear or sexual reference (violence level I'd say fit PG or M depending on the scenes) in Dragon Quest Heroes even though the descriptors say it has them at least in my region.
      Many teen TV shows have deeper level swearing.
      Void Bastards or others are available for people to get no one talks about that with a title censor at all do they? I've never heard of anything because it's not been censored or talked about I think and it's as front and centre as can be.

      Honestly I'd wager it's unlikely they censored the JP audio, simply put it'd be too much of a pain, and JP fans are far less tolerant to such changes. (Ahem, Switch Sales vs Censorstation Sales, there were numerous reports, doesn't help that many niche franchises refuse to publish on Censorstation but I digress.)

    At least they didn't forgot to put a relevant descriptor with Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord, that game doesn't even have English voices unlike Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters, and even so, the new Fairy Fencer F has always had a content descriptor of ''Language'', according to the ESRB, the words ''shit'' and ''asshole'' appear in the game, so, yeah, language and swearing is extremely common in T rated games.

    Kinda nuts that you have to content-label yourself upfront in order to even get a chance of publishing a game. And if you misslabel you can get sued. Or if you don't label you have to wait until a rating agency actually gets around rating your game. Really backwards and bureaucratic mechanisms.

    Oh for fuck sake. How much needless downgrading will keep happening to modern media.
    While okay, not a big deal removing some swearing (even though some of these cases are really weird), BUT. In the Neptunia franchise swearing is very limited anyway. And the only characters that do actually swear have that as part of their character. Like Blanc who swears when she is pissed off, which accentuates that she is really mad. Or Iffy and Uzume who sometimes swear to show them as the "cool" characters. Or hell, Underling, who swears because she doesnt give a shit. Law cant stop her.
    This is so disappointing to see more and more needless censorships happen in games.

  • @maskedbadass6802

    As annoying as this is what really worries me is the future implications for localizing dialogue based on woke identity politics. I just saw recently on another channel Erick Landon RPG that a Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force was "politicized," but without knowing more it could be mild or it could be a bunch of characters suddenly complaining about how it's "homophobic/racist" to not agree with raging leftist rainbow propaganda.

    I could understand some changes, though I've always been (and will forever be) staunchly against censorship.
    Besides, the obvious point I would've mentioned that you already do, that turning foul language into violence and threats as if better, but anyone that censors factual, historically accurate terms like "bastard sword"--literally a "man and a half" sword--is a complete dumbass.
    Ftr, I don't mind "piss me off" changes since it's a complete misuse anyway. Coincidentally, that actually does piss me off: I want nothing of it, in fact, I'd rather be nowhere near that BS radar red-metering pap.

But post-launch censorship patch? F outta here. I tolerated them since they didn't censor on steam and gog at least, but since that's out of the window now, well, guess what, piracy-only from there onwards, unless they either revert it or redeem themselves in some way later, i don't tolerate any form of censorship so off to the shitlist with both CH and IF.

      @Calculated Declination With Sisters vs. Sisters, it was IFI fault they forgot to tell the ERSB that the game has language and now have to comply to have an accurate rating description. Other cases are much of mystery to me as it is to you, but honestly, I don't care that much either. I just think it's inaccurate to say Sony dislikes anime so they censor it when they flat out own a decent amount of the western industry and even some it's home land considering they also own stuff like A1 Pictures and Aniplex.
