Yes, but I just don’t trust Sony with these type of niche Japanese games anymore. Too many bad examples. I’ll stick to Switch for this kind of stuff. Dungeon crawlers are best on portable devices anyway.
@thefourfoldroot1 If they censor it, you won't even know about it, even on Switch, because they will be developing it simultaneously.
Anyway, I will surely buy it for the PS5. Already have the predecesor for PS4.
@Sil_Am
Unfortunately this may well be true. Devs just self censor now due to Sonys puritanical policies. We can at least compare to the older game in terms of visuals and themes and I just won’t play it if there has been an obvious change.
@thefourfoldroot1 you're overreacting. Whether there's nudity or not in character sprites isn't going to change the quality of the game. Not having a bath/hot springs/or similar scene doesn't make a game bad.
@Milktastrophe
No. You are correct. Taking something good away doesn’t make something automatically bad. It does, however, make it automatically worse.
@thefourfoldroot1 I disagree that nudity is automatically something good that makes things better. Especially when it's sexualization of a minor which is all too common with these types of games (I'm not familiar with Labyrinth of Refrain/Galleria so hopefully it doesn't).
@Milktastrophe
Who’s talking about minors? That’s not allowed and nor should it be, quite obviously.
But, yes, as long as it fits with the narrative of the world and is within character, nudity is a nice thing.
@thefourfoldroot1 you were complaining about Sony's general censorship stance and sexualization of minors is the main thing that gets censored from Japanese games. Unless you have those "bad examples" that are primarily something else?
Also you said you wouldn't play this one if it has less nudity than the first. Based on what you've just said, if that's what makes sense for the story shouldn't you accept that?
@Milktastrophe
No it’s not. That’s a fallacy. I could give you a long list of censored games on Sony’s platform (or you could Google it) but it’s not about minors. The very fact Nintendo allows them on Switch, and the law allows them for sale, proves that.
And I said I wouldn’t play it in terms of the discussion about the PlayStation version, I’d stick to the switch (or PC) versions, which are usually released unmolested.
Typical. The people that complain about censored games can never give an example of bad censorship.
Btw sexualization of minors is censored in games like Criminal Girls, Labyrinth Life, Raspberry Cube, and Zanki Zero. So not so much a fallacy when it's so easy to find examples.
