    • @goldlight1322
      @goldlight1322 Рік тому +62

      @AT Productions It's not about being grossed out. It's about the nuance of character design. To give a more in-depth explanation than just "it's shit," let me break it down.
      Why does Mythra have a chest window? Why does she wear a skirt so short that bending over even a little would expose her panties? Mythra's personality in-game makes it abundantly clear that she does not care for other people ogling her, even doing the tired anime cliche of beating up the male protag over a misunderstanding that makes him "seem like a pervert." Despite that, her outfit makes almost no attempt to cover any of her "sensitive" areas.
      It's cheap fanservice purely for the sake of it. To be clear: there is nothing wrong with characters being sexy or showing skin.
      There are even other characters in the game I think are fine having revealing outfits (Brighid being one because she still manages to come off as classy and refined.) Hell even Pyrrha having an open back never bothered me that much because she's not the sort of person who seems like she'd get easily upset at people eyeing her, at least not to the extent of Mythra.
      Yes, it's true that the West has a tendency to censor things far more than it should, and that is an issue unto itself, but I feel like this is an issue where every instance should be looked at on its own rather than just generalizing everything into a single mindset. Case and point: yes Mythra's outfit was censored, but in this particular case, it resulted in an overall better design for the character that doesn't come off as cheap sexualization just for the sake of it. You can have fanservice and still execute it in a way that doesn't diminish the character or the story.

      Honestly that's also a genuinely smart way to "censor" it, it mostly removes the violent animations in order to be accepted by whatever higher up was requesting it, but it doesn't necessarily take away from the game's experience, it oddly fits the games aesthetic too, the idea of completely messing up the camera and have random seizure inducing effects on screen to hide the horror is something that fits right into the game. Pretty neat stuff.

    One piece of censorship that I think is interesting is in the Chinese release of Halo, the Master Chief Collection. The opening cinematic for the Halo 2 level Gravemind is cropped to not show the titular Gravemind, probably because it's a giant tentacle of rotting flesh. Also in this version all killed enemies don't spill any blood and shrink down out of existence so the don't leave behind a corpse.

    The ironic part of Mythra's censored design is folks actually *liked* it! So much so that in an update for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Monolith actually made that an outfit she could wear in-game via an Aux Core item as part of Xenoblade Chronicles 2's one-year anniversary.
    It's called "Massive Melee Mythra" and gives a 25% crit rate boost, the best crit rate boosting item in the entire game that *doesn't* require purchasing the Expansion Pass and isn't actually exclusive to Mythra, just the outfit. Meaning if you have loadouts that thrive off of critical hits, especially crit healing, you can use Massive Melee Mythra to boost your crit rate even further.

      If characters could react to what costumes and outfits other characters are wearing I'd bet during Torna everyone would constantly ask Mythra where some of her Core Crystal vanished off to leaving her confused until it suddenly reappears confusing everyone even more.

    Bolt if you see this, I want you to know...
    God of War is an action-adventure game franchise created by David Jaffe at Sony's Santa Monica Studio. It began in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console and has become a flagship series for PlayStation, consisting of nine installments across multiple platforms. Based on ancient mythologies, the story follows Kratos, a Spartan warrior and later the Greek God of War, who was tricked into killing his family by his former master, the original Greek God of War Ares. This sets off a series of events that leads to wars with the different mythological pantheons. The Greek-based games see Kratos follow a path of vengeance due to the machinations of the Olympian gods, while the Norse-based games, which introduce his son Atreus as a secondary protagonist, show Kratos on a path of redemption and inadvertently coming into conflict with the Norse gods.

      The voice actors they hired are not indicative of the company themselves. So i'm not sure I understand the point of comparison. Also the canon explanation of that it's not even a real gun, it just looks like one. And "basically" doesn't mean it is Satan or that it carried any commutations of satanism. Literally all parts of your statement fall apart at the seams.

    About that scene with Shadow the Hedgehog where Maria’s lifeless body was shown falling: there also is a still image of that scene that was used in the game itself, but it was slightly blurred and had most of its original color pallet changed to black & white. It plays during a cutscene where shadow is on the ARK and is remembering what happened to Maria. There were also rumors that the Japanese version had the original scene left in tact, but as of now nobody has ever actually shown proof outside of the original trailer version filmed with a camcorder pointed at a TV screen, so it’s likely it was cut from the Japanese version as well.

    I honestly think the best handling of video game censorship is with terraria, in its Chinese version. If you dont know, alot of the games bosses and enemies have elements of "blood and gore" integral to the design, such as the Eye of Chuthulu, a floating eyeball that grows teeth. To be released in China, the game had to have all of these elements removed, so instead of just covering it up they made a completely different design for everything, for example the eye was turned into a grassy snapper like creature, essentially make a different, but still good experience.
