KH2.5 is still censored...

Recommended Posts

Did they seriously kept this game censored while worse things have happened in other games...

 

No green blood on the Hydra during the battle, but it still exists on the cutscenes... Will doesn't point the gun at his head; crossbows replaced with guns; no blood on the pirates or them catching fire, but yet, they can get electrocuted and frozen; Jack doesn't get stabbed; Axel doesn't has flames on his body, etc...

 

Did they seriously censored all of this all over again?! What the firetruck?! But yeah... Aqua can get choked and Xigbar can still have his crosshair in 3D... because yeah...

The only thing that they didn't re-censor, and the only one i really care, is the animation of Xigbar fusing his guns. I don't care for the Hydra and Port Royal, as I would probably skip the cutscenes in future playtroughs of that world. But it is a shame for Axel

 

Still, we already know how the ESRB works. They allow 1-2 things in their games, like Aqua choked in BBS, Xigbar crosshair in 3D...But with the 3rd of 4th ''censorable'' thing, they increase the rating of the game. And Square would do anything to mantain a Teen rating, so we can't blame them...I'm glad that at least they were able to do Xigbar animation, they really risked it by showing that 

 

I bet they removed the 'jiggle physics' on Aqua.

I don't remember any of those being censored in the games...

 

Check again. They were.

Seriously?... Master Frodo can speak of how much he wants to have sex with Esmeralda, but Aqua can't shwo her back?

It's the ESRB fault, they are very strict, and in some situations very weird with their decisions. Like how they actually censor things in the Port Royal world that are In The Actual Movie. Square can't do much, they are told by the censors that either they change some things, or they get a mature rating, and they have their hands tied for that

Wasn't Final Mix just an edited copy and paste of the North American release to begin with? They were probably too lazy to remove the censors and kept them like that. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Most of JP Final Mix was "re-uncensored", the only shows of censorship I can recall staying were Hydra blood/smoke and Daisy slapping/chastising Donald (which was more the fault of the English voice track than anything; I'd guess they used the slapping scene in JP 2.5, but I haven't checked).

So basically, Japanese 2.5 doesn't have the censors but we do? Dang.

I honestly don't mind the censored parts.  Only thing I really noticed different from the movie was where Will points his gun, but that's a minor element of the overall game.  For Axel, watching the version where it's flames, given the way people talked I honestly expected more fire and was disappointed since it's not that much different.

It wasn't really censored.  Nomura just thought having her bare back with only the two pink straps (the black part at the base is what was added) was suggestive, no one told him he had to cover it, it was a design choice he made when designing her.  And I kinda agree.  If you're fighting evil having only 2 straps hold your clothes on is rather ridiculous.  She doesn't need that much skin exposed.

Honestly think she looks more modest and better in the end version.

I'm normally for lack of censorship, but in this case it's barely ever an issue; you still get the idea that you have struck down a Hydra head, and Axel's death is still pretty damn sad. Some of the stuff in Port Royal, maybe, but you still have creepy pirates talking about raping and pillaging and Barbossa getting shot.

Her back doesn't affect me at all. What worries me is if they removed any jiggle physics. I'm not a pervert, but I enjoy some realism. If they have hair physics and such...

For me censorship isn't much of a problem because I never pay attention to the Japanese version of something and mainly just care for the English version, since I am English and don't know the Japanese language. So I hardly pay attention and still get the fullness of what is going on. The only censor that I have ever payed attention to in the KH universe is when the Evil Queen orders the Magic Mirror to attack Terra, as I spoiled myself with that scene in Japanese before the English game came out.

I don't recall any censor in Snow White's world?

Disney movies are kids movies. theres nothing dark or intellectual  about them.

Death; sadness; sexual stuff; blood; violence; emotional moments; love; etc...

He didn't get to speak about it, though. Only one of the reasons why the depiction of Frollo lost so much in translation.

It was more like a change of the scene completely, but here it is:
(1:44 to 2:40) in Japan
(0:33-1:22) in English

It may not affect you but obviously to Nomura he felt it was too suggestive.  If it was a bit lower we'd see her ass.  She looks more like a warrior to me with adequate clothing.  With jiggle physics I don't mind them, but hope they're not overly sensitive with the motion like instead of being breasts, they look like bouncy water balloons or the introduction to a porn movie.

 

don't be a bellend. Disney movies are kids movies. theres nothing dark or intellectual  about them.

 

Disney movies are family movies, not kids movies.  There's a lot things in them that children yes, overlook but watching again as an adult you notice.

Why the hell did they censor this? Well, to be honest... I kinda prefer the fact that the Queen actually throws one of her potions against the mirror. Looks more dramatic then her anger...

On the japanese version they moved quite realistic. Many people praised Square for being one of the few companies to actually capture such movements well unlike other who exagerate them... a lot. I can notice it a little bit on 2.5 but maybe that's jsut my imagination or jsut the fact that her chest/body moves as she walks.

It wasn't actually a censor, it was a change made to make the scene more clear. In the original Japanese Final Mix it's changed to a potion as well
