Fire Emblem Fates Controversial Scene Changed for Western Release

"Gee, i don't want your feelings hurt so i will change my artistic vision so you can feel better about yourself...

But then again, i'm there primarily to make money not art..."

Uh... The whole scenario is pretty balls-to-the-walls. But, that's Nintendo for ya sometimes

That's f'd up. And incredibly immature. Whoever wrote that stuff should be ashamed. Not sure why writers feel every Japanese game needs a tone of perversion - but the idea of spiking magic drinks and easily converting a homosexual female into a hetro sex-object is particularly juvenille, and offensive to me. People who are gay are born gay, and not even a magic illusion roofy by a perverted teen boy changes that. And regardless if it was censored or not, is iregardless to me. Just the idea that someone's sick mind cameup with that in the first place and put it in a game is what disturbs me. Its particularly offensive to women and homosexuals. Not to meantion spiking drinks, taking advantage of someone, and it eventually leading to a sexualization situation should never be condoned in videogames - especially when its supposed to be the usually great and ritchous protagonist savior doing it.

That's the media for you

No matter how big a detail is, they will most definitely find and bash it

That sounds like that is a pretty big omission and could affect the story. If it does then you are compromising the artist's vision which shouldn't be done.

WOW i would have really looked forward to that event in the game. What a story to tell... and now its gone. Thats another bro story to tell the homies if it were to ever happen irl. The CONVERTING part anyways lol drugging is unnecessary

So Nintendo got in b4 SJW's got mad

Ah, that amazing Nintendo of America censorship.

They're already scamming it up by making you buy the game multiple times, and now this disgrace.

Seriously BAD NINTENDO....BAD. Don't censor stuff....the people who have problems with this need to grow up and act and think like adults. Censorship is WRONG.

It begins.

Holy shit I hate liberals

@YagerMyster: Don't drink anything given to you by a protagonist, or an otaku.

That is kinda messed up, tbh. Sort of suggesting you can "cure" homosexuality in a way.

Though people complaining about its removal need to understand what "offense" actually means. Sure it's likely not deliberately trying to offend, nor is it removed to prevent offense. it's likely removed sinply due to cultural differences between nations.

This isn't a "Nintendo prevents homosexuality" thing like Tomodachi Life, which was pretty stupid in and of itself. This is actually more decent than their other attempts at editing their work. It's not the scene itself, but more what it implies. And what it implies isn't great, tbh.

There's a pastebin of the conversation being censored. Kamui did in fact drug her without her knowledge or consent.

Soleil: ... ... ... My weakness is, cute girls. [Kamui responds] Around the type that I like, I end up fainting if I even get near them. It’s not very impressive.

In the next event/scene Soleil doesn't recognize Kamui and he explains it to her:

Kamui: I managed to get my hands on a kind of magic powder… I’m really sorry, but a little while ago, I poured some of it into your drink. The person who drinks that powder… somehow becomes able to see other people as the gender opposite what they actually are!

If it wasn't for an article about it, I bet I'd just gloss over that scene with barely an eye-roll...if the event was even triggered.

After reading the article, I wont miss that scene. It's just weird... /every/ character appears to be the opposite gender; and she has no clue about it? Come-on, She just forgets the main character?

...so is this the Birthright, or Conquest campaign?
