Yet another English-translated eroge has been censored as the official Twitter account for Eiyuu Senki WWX (the sex-laden version of Eiyuu Senki WW) has admitted that art assets had to be changed due to the abundance of sex scenes containing loli characters (as well as characters who merely look underage).
Eiyuu Senki WW and Eiyuu Senki WWX were recently released on platforms such as Johren, but eroge enthusiasts hoping the titles would be available unaltered were handed bad news:
To add insult to injury, the official Twitter told players who want the full, true experience to simply play the Japanese version instead, completely defeating the purpose of even having an English-translated edition:
Those online are alleging the CG sex scenes are censored horribly, such as placing blinding lights to cover up nipples when they aren’t visible, and using cut-ins of the CG to cover itself up (the seal was added in by the person who took the screen capture):
On top of this, it is said the dialogue is changed as well, as some characters no longer address the player as “onii-sama”, similar to sex-less smartphone games like Princess Connect.
Such censorship is sadly not uncommon, as certain eroge in the past have had their rape scenes forcibly made consensual.
Examples of the beautiful sex CG from the Japanese version of the game:
That’s absurd. They are essentially selling an incomplete product and this should be made perfectly clear before purchase, but I guess they wanted to dupe as much people as possible before somebody found out.
The “play the Japanese version” excuse is an admittance of incompetence.
Agreed. Developers that do this type of garbage are incompetent. The majority of the target audience isn’t going to buy a censored product.
The correct way to release the game was to simply add an English subtitle option to the original game and sell it as an “complete” version. Don’t directly market it to western countries to give your company plausible deniability.
Given how westerners can access dmm’s r18 site with no bullshit your idea would be the best one.
Yeah. Could throw it on DLsite as well.
Imagine complaining about buying a “censored western product” when the Japanese version with its mosaics plastered all over the pictures is staring them in the face.
still doesnt solve the straight up, script rewrites by 9th rate wannabe writes that americans push in
and hate to brake it to you two , but that all they do, and the !uncesored pics! that companies outside jpn…
lets say it nicely that the censored just look better
But there are cases with VN’s , when “censored” version is considered “canon” and “complete” version of the game instead of 18+ version.
They are inconsistent as hell Magicami got r♥♥e censored and this game it’s lolis but versus tales has both r♥♥e and l♥♥i with seemingly no censorship. The inconsistency makes me question if nutaku and johren are separate entities in regards to localization as they have fucking taimanin uncensored but they censored out the r♥♥e in kamihime and tentacle r♥♥e a few months ago.
Might as well just say to not buy the game.
I think japan should learn better English so they can sell a local version and f♥♥k western studios and they earn more money
And watch them become Sony/Nintendo? f♥♥k that…
I think murricans should learn some other languages than English.
this
Yep. Hard pass. Keeping my money & drive space. f♥♥k the West.
Americans are faggots
Yes, we are all “faggots” here. Gotta love your tough guy comment.
u mad doggie-lover? XD
well it is a free to play game, and it does have that info in the games announcements
what we need to do is to tear off dependence on ameritards and
throw US/Canada/UK/AU to one wastern release with all theyr retardations
EU to rest
and China is well… China they will make theyr own version if they see money in it
THIS! Give us Europeans a separate fucking game like we used to get long ago. I don’t fucking care to hear about US’ bullshit. Not to mention that certain retards like the ones in this article just don’t want your money.
This kind of behavior is actually Canadian.
You live in looony land if you the US is worse than the EU in regards to nanny-state/platform crap. Don’t get me started on arresting people for posts on Twitter or questioning immigration policy.
China will never make a R18 game that is being sold officially. Their rules forbid it.
China already censored porn and hentai things.
If you see chinese somewhere in porn or hentai site, that mean they use VPN.
And then they wonder why their games dont sell in the west despite fan translations being popular.
More people should really sue companies for bait and switch.
the fact they are censoring an hentai game is just dumb the same thing happened with Magicami and that was enough for me to stay away from places like Johren
like i said before you really cant trust english versions of games like this cause they end up doing the most retarded things
Ikr, what’s the point of being hentai which is 18+ if it’s even censored in the first place.
Only good thing about these games is the art, the game itself is just a cookie cutter copy and paste from the same damn game that’s on Nutaku times infinity. Now you can’t even enjoy the art.
> Johren.
> Chinese language.
Welp, welcome to the Universe of Madness and Slackness, guys. Where totalitarian fascism and Communism straight up censors all the things in life.
This reminds me of how people go “if you don’t like it don’t buy it” Then complain about low sales figures as if telling people to piss off is a good idea for business.
