Final Fantasy VII‘s remake is courting yet more controversy with the news that “social conditions” – likely code for ravening feminists and their cadre of white knights in the gaming media mafia – is to force “prudence” in including any scenes from the original which could potentially upset them.
The news comes by way of a Dengeki interview with none other than the game’s producer Toshinori Kitase and director Tetsuya Nomura, who explained that “current social trends necessitate prudence when it comes to reproducing the events in the original” – no doubt referring to the Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 tragedy and other such woeful censorship.
The interview went on to mention that development is now making actual progress (presumably for part one at least) as work on the battle system is now taking form, so news about the highly controversial shift to an action RPG and any new mechanics is likely to surface sometime soon.
Otherwise it seems not even the astronomical reputation of the legendary Final Fantasy VII is enough for the title to be exempt from the terrors of modern media censorship, as the game’s fate (at least concerning anything “offensive to women”) is seemingly sealed whilst the hysterical reign of peak feminism continues its tyranny of the medium of gaming.

imo, censorship of the Honeybee Inn scene would be highly transphobic.
And this is why people catering to the offendatrons of the world will never be able to win. Because they cannot.
exactly. Offendatrons control the win conditions for this and they are mutually exclusive. The only way to win is to say "fuck that noise" and just go on with what you were doing, ignoring those offentards.
This is what the rest of us do... it's too bad Japan hasn't been doing that lately.
I would laugh my ass of if some lgbt sjw would attack them for this. They should learn their lesson, that being too herbivore just makes things even worse.
inb4 Tifa in a burka
anyone who doesn't get it, FF VII has half-dressed males and females working in same establishment, males are mostly macho guys with mustaches, basically half-gay bee-bar.
Why would they even wanna remake this if all the good sh*t has to be censored/changed? Makes no sense whatsoever.
Maybe because a FF7 remake will probably make a billion dollars, even if they completely fuck it up.
And they WILL completely fuck it up.
Which is all the more reason that they shouldn't change things like this. Its going to sale well regardless of how many angry feminists bitch about the game, and they aren't the ones buying the game anyway since most of the feminists that are so against the sexualization of women in games don't play games to begin, so why piss off the actual fans to please those fools?
Just like Star Wars VII
SO EDGY.
Or it could be the next Spirits Within, you know, a project that sinks the company.
I have a feeling all this censorship crap is Japanese media pointing middle finger at feminists and the likes. Or they just play it safe to get lower age ratings.
Doesage ratings matter when you could add the sexy stuff as DLC ?
Doesage ratings matter when you could add the sexy stuff as DLC ?
Yes, it does. Numerous games have had their classifications redone because of DLC and 'unlockables' in the game.
I mean you can make the scenes more tasteful.
I'm totally fine with that.
We don't neccessarely mean stereotypical gay men.
But then again this is slum with alot of weird stuff going on.
Well, All I can hope they do it tastefully.
It is a remake and not a remaster, changes are bound to happen.
But seriously. Fuck Feminism, fuck it till it dies.
Tifa will now lose a couple of cup sies and Barret will speak with an Australian accent to not offend anyone. Flower Girl will only get a slight injury, you later visit her in the hospital at the end of the game and shake hands with the One Winged Angel who say "May bad"
Tifa will actually be an A cup and wear a (gender-neutral) suit of armor that's impossible to unequip.
Or Tifa's cup size will stand but her body size will now be increased to the same level, as in the socially acceptable "plus-size"(that is considered "plus" only by the SJW).
And she'll have a face like a 45 year old tranny.
sounds gud. fatties btfo
I for one am hoping for the DFCs
Or tifa will actually look like a real human being and you will stop bitching and go on pornhub when you want to rub one out : )
or you can go outside and realize people come in all shapes and sizes and it's possible to have a large chest.
Right because theres isn't "real" women with large breasts right? I believe this what feminists refer to as body shaming..
10/10 sellout
or not. This is entirely them overreacting because they dont bother actually listening to people in western countries.
Censorship is b******t!
Here come the feminists who have a problem with Cloud dressing like a girl... yet they'll be all cool and fine with half naked guys doing squats in the gym.
Agree, they all was having to cause problems for no reason.
They wouldn't be because toxic masculinity and all that.
Why would they have a problem with that? They love that gay shit. If anything, they'll have a problem with the female employees of the honeybee.
Something about how "misappropriating feminine gender identity" is a Wrong Thing for cishet dudes to do.
Some of you have been reading shit on the internet lately. Feminists don't think that way. Haters of feminism want people to think that feminists think that way.
First, they don't want Tifa loosing breast tissue. Second, they don't have any issue with Cloud crossdressing. Look it up.
They do. You are the one not getting it. Who cares about "REAL" feminists? They are not the ones with the more power or the ones you'll hear the most. The ones you'll hear the most is the stupid dude/gil from tumblr saying bullshit and saying it IS feminism. Which is one of the main problem with this, because it's an insult to feminist itself. Again, try to understand what you're talking about before saying "x is wrong"; no, it's not wrong, but even if feminism is definitely necessary and a good thing, there has been a LOT of abuses of the word since a pretty long time, and they're A WHOLE LOT more vocal than your typical average "good" feminist. hence the feminism-hate; hate the people giving your ideology a bad name just as much, if not more, than the people using a confusing word because the others call themselves that despite it being very wrong. This bullshit feminism is what is killing everything, and yes it is ""feminism"" (note the "" ) for a lot of people since they are calling themselves that.
And since feminism and equality = good for the average hipster, this can easily be abused in order to make oher believe that some mileading bullshit is good when it isn't. Yeah, ""feminists"" and a lot of people seen as that hate large chest. Because they are "the symbol of a man's fantasies " > "The character is therefore a sexual object for the desires of men."
While this would be laughable with true feminism, it's sadly not how the word is used most of the time and the real ones certainly not the kind of feminists that are causing games to be censored.Real feminism cares about real and serious issues (and don't sum it up to "men and women = samee pay" WITHOUT taking everything else into account; since they know that it is not an isolated issue but depends of a lot of other factors; it's not a "easy" problem at all) but the ones you'll see don't care about things like that since complicated stuff is...well...too complicated and require to REALLY know what you're talking about BOTH socially and culturally, so the average idiot will not devote his life thinking about it. It's easier to say that you're one of them without seeing how deep the matter is or caring about it.
Yes, "feminists" have a problem with what you said and yes, "feminists" think that way. And yes, people say this but not because they are haters. Because the fucking "2010-feminist" is nothing like the original one and don't get what they are talking about, but still keep speaking about it insisting on the "I'm a feminist" part (since it was seen as a good thing in the past, for most people who don't are about looking further, that'd automatically make them one of the good guys and someone saying things that are true and good).
Before talking about "haters" and fucking judging people yourself try to understand WHAT these "haters" hate and WHY beside a "they're just idiots lulz". Being aspie I tend to take things too literally too, but there are times when a word is linked to a context, like right now, and you can't just say that "feminists have nothing about big breasts". While it IS ultimately true it's more complicated when people are abusing your reputation for their own agenda and everyone seems ok with it.
It's not difficult. There are many strains of feminism. Some are more reasonable than others. The one that is currently dominant is anything but. You saying they're not "real" feminists does not make it so, unless you were elected head matriarch.
Here comes the confused. I havnt heard any sort of campaign all this is publishers/developers overreacting
Overreacting my ass. They have figured out that the media and SJWs have created a climate of censorship where anything that doesn't fit their precious political ideology must be banned. DOAX3 not coming to America because of them. The Sony CEO outright saying because of "cultural differences". Japan is aware of these people now and would rather just not bother bringing the game here or if they do, they let the localization teams which also have been infested by this ideology censor the games because of a small vocal minority.
Any decision the original creators make is NOT censorship. It's an active CHOICE made by the design team. Even if there was an activist organization that took issue with some of the more sexist material of the original title (which there isn't; look up straw man or straw feminist), the decision rests in the hands of the developer. If the ratings board saw the final product and refused to let the game release before the material was edited out, then that would be censorship. This is all just terrible Japanese companies demonstrating how abysmal they are at doing business and staying current with the changing market and the world at large. They are out of touch and trying to find a straw man to take the heat off of them for their shortcomings. Screw you Japanese triple A. Get it together.
Self-censorship is still censorship, even if you're going to say it's acceptable censorship.
Self Censorship when you have a gun pointed at your
head isn't censorship at all but coercion and intimidation by femnazi's and PC fascists.
still fucked up either way. The fans asked for a FFVII with improved graphics not a bunch of changes for the thin skin crowd. The episodic release of this game already has me on the fence so if anything gets axed, "creator decision" (see sjw influence) or esrb/govt stupidity, then that guarantees a used purchase from me.
Why are you victim blaming, bro?
A "choice" made out of fear is not a choice at all.
Do you know what self-censorship is? It's when you don't say what you want to say, or don't publish what you want to publish, because you know you'll get in trouble if you do. The people you're afraid of don't even have to openly threaten you: as long as you know that they *will* cause you trouble, that's enough to force you into self-censorship.
Self censorship is basically the worst form of censorship. That's why I never follow censorship rules on the internet and wait for some mod to ban me if they can't handle a nipple or two.
"Self-censorship is the act of censoring or classifying one's own blog, book, film, or other forms of media. This is done out of fear of, or deference to, the sensibilities or preferences (actual or perceived) of others and without overt pressure from any specific party or institution of authority."
Sorry but nop.
Freedom of choice doesn't exist if there's no freedom. When you can only choose one option, then there's not even a choice.
