Final Fantasy "Censorship" topic -

[Richard29]

I thought i'd make a topic on that to discuss censorship in Final Fantasy games. Mainly FF1-FF6.

First of all. FF4 on DS kind of did fix lots of the early mistake that was in the hand of "Nintendo of America" at the time. For example, instead of Espers in FF6.. which is wrong. They are in FF4 called Eidolons (though i think FF9 started that first). Milon is easier to remember i will admit, though that got fixed too. Basically, since FF games deals with myths and stuff, and Nintendo having "No religion in my game policies" that means you cant have that. But they also made the series so confusing because of this. Like if they just called "Espers" to "Eidolon" it would be so easy to get the whole concept more. Since the translation makes so much more sense.

But i am curious to your views?

The SNES translation of FF4 was so bad that Squaresoft had to fire the translator and hire a translator by the name of Ted Woolsey. Other than that, I don't have much of an opinion, but Terra does look more like an esper than an eidolon.

Search up Esper. See what you find. All i found was "someone who controls Telepathy and supernatural abilities" Problem is.. thats not what an Eidolon is. Its something that you cant see that happens to be a beast. Thats basically what the summons in FF games are called "in Japan its probably a non problem" but because of how hard this was to get done right in the west. It wouldnt surprise me when people go ?? about the whole Eidolon thing

Edit: Though i will agree. FF4, good graphics but horrible translation. While i prefer FF4 original game, i cant say same way about the translation. Which was basically perfected in the DS version

I’m starting to think OP is a plant or something. Purposely trying to earn neg ratings in some weird misguided attempt to get attention.

Dick (can I call you Dick?) why only 8/16-bit era games? And why specifically Final Fantasy? There’s plenty of examples of censoring in video games. Not just over-rated JRPGs

tbh Esper bugged me even when that was new because Esper is a thing and they clearly aren't it any more than they're orcs or dryads or goombas or Villanos

I know Esper means someone who uses ESP but if you think about how the Espers were created in 6 then the term kinda makes sense.

BTW most of the JP versions dont even use these terms. They were all made up by localization teams.

The fact that Tifa's tig-ol-bitties got shrunken in the remake is in itself a form of censorship, and i do not approve of it one bit.

Well.. if you saw new updates. They were planning on it. But it wasnt. The shrunken part is just old images basically. If you compare the model of the remake one "new pic with old artwork from 1997" its basically same size, boobs burst out like they did with old one.

But i bet Square got that feedback on it. Trying to play it safe is my bet to sorta please everyone. Cant blame them.

Incorrect.
Fucking,

dead wrong.

They are apparently going to give Yuffie a huge ass and thighs to counter balance tifa's boobs.

When you do ninja moves and plenty of jogging to get your hands on Materia, every day is leg day.

They were originally humans until the Warring Triad needed soldiers and turned them into mini-Akiras.

Barbariccia wears less than that. I think it slid just because she's inside a tornado most of the time though.
