Also worth mentioning is it’s still the heavily censored version, so don’t bother if you’re against censorship.

alot of minigames and cgs were taken out if i remember right

Keep in mind there’s a healthy dose of political “we FELT we had to” in most of the answers, but there is the reasoning.

Why even bother porting this game if the core audience it appeals to doesn’t even want it.

Heres to hoping some die hard fan fixes the game.

Its not like they couldnt release it on Steam and test the waters, or even better, release a patch on the side.

But Im not optimistic.

>NISA

Ooooooooooooooof course. Could have just said that and i would avoid it like the plague.

In PC ratings don’t mean shit, all the censoship is just because they want. In the western market the only ones who would buy the game are the ones who are angry right now because of this bullshit.

Thanks for bringing this up and saving me $20.

I don’t know the Game, but it looks like it could be fun!
After researching a bit it feels like a mix between disgaea and neptunia (more on neptunia tho). So it could have instabuy probability’s;)

Their anime premium editions are really nice though ^_^

I own the NA PS3 version of Agarest 2 but I was under the assumption that it wasn’t censored, I know the EU PS3 version has stuff cut that was in the NA version but what was cut from the NA version?

So it’s been censored by NISA and i kinda had a hunch Ghostlight will butchered more of that content(agarest 2)

Oh okay, thanks for further explaining ^_^

There’s a precedent set by anywhere up to a dozen games offering official uncensoring patches in the last year or so though, with Steam being fully okay with adult content being offered that way.

Since that much is now actually a thing, it should be much easier to ask for since there are concrete examples of others doing it, and you can actually point towards examples of them being rewarded for it with accurate sales numbers through Steamspy existing now as well:

Why so many people in Nichegamer hate NISA ? , they were the first company that started localizing these type of niche JRPGs along with atlus, and is also one of the companys that has localized the most of these type of games.

and unlike atlus they also make the effort of putting japanese voices in their titles most of the time and don´t make their games extra expensive for it

not to mention it´s thanks to them that franchises like atelier or neptunia managed to come to the west and get popular here

if it wasn´t for them and a few other companys that opened the way, we would still get only super mainstream JRPGs like final fantasy and nobody would bother with smaller JRPG titles, just like it happened on the playstation 1 days, they became a little puritans recently censoring some games but it´s a company that certaintly deserves our respect

Sure, they localised some niche games in the past. They did a pretty shitty job of localising them, but they brought them over.
That doesn’t reflect what they’ve done over the last several years and all the shit they’ve pulled though. They may have deserved some respect once but they certainly don’t anymore.

There was never any necessity in removing the content in the first place.

Disgaea D2.
And here, let’s just chuck out the big list.

Ghostlight isn’t innocent either. I’d say what they did to Agarest 2 (full character removal) trumps the censorship in Mugen Souls to a far greater degree.

If I were Ghostlight and NISA right now, I’d pay attention to how many people start requesting, and creating, fan-patches to uncensor the game. That possibility alone is the only way Mugen Souls might sell well, at least better than on consoles.

They both might keep censoring now, but money talks louder than morals. If the game sells well with many people downloading an uncensor patch, there might be a change of heart.

The art style reminds me of Disgaea.

same artist

That’s because Takehito Harada is the artist for both of them.

Not if the cg’s and minigames are completely removed from the game. There is no uncensored pc version to rip the stuff from like what happens sometimes with Visual Novels.

Replacing of removing it doesn’t change it was censored too. It was a nice game but the censoring did leave a bad after-taste to it.

Why did they remove a character?

Honestly I think it’s a lose-lose situation. If you can’t localize a game like Mugen Souls or Criminal Girls without having make cuts to get it through the rating systems, you may as well not bother. I mean, ignoring any kind of personal moral beliefs on censorship, that audience that won’t buy the game on principle is your target demographic. The only real audience left is either people that don’t know about the changes (which will complain the second they find out) and people that buy games like neptunia or disagaea not because they like the gameplay or anything like that, but just solely because they have cute anime girls on the cover. The random joe on the street that wouldn’t give the game a second glance beforehand isn’t gonna change their opinion on it after they discover content was cut or changed.

The censorship by Ghostlight has nothing to do with Steam’s policies, it was unnecessary self-censorship. They probably thought they had a moral duty to fix the “problematic” content in the game.

Wait, I thought they just removed a character from a minigame. They completely removed a character from the entire game?

More heavily censored NISA/Ghostlight shit. Into the fucking garbage it goes. Goddamned moralfags trying to project their shit into the localizations when the people the games are TARGETED at don’t want the censorship in the first place. Seriously, who the fuck would go to buy Criminal Girls and go “OH THANK GOD they took out the moans and put in PINK MIST OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Now I won’t be triggered when I motivate my characters, THANK YOU NISA.”

Absolutely no one.

NISA thinks they’re somehow making these games “better” or “more appealing” but all they’re doing is ruining the game, fucking up the creators’ intentions/designs, and pissing off the fans instead. Don’t even get me started on how they managed to work in bugs and CPU-melting glitches for several PS3 games.

Fuck NISA. I hope they fucking shutdown and some better company takes the spotlight for localizing weeb games.

Considering IFI’s localization decisions are getting to be worse than NISA’s, it’s honestly looking like fans don’t really care about that so long as nothing is censored.

Meanwhile, NISA has actually made significant progress with Criminal Girls compared to previous games, whereas IFI just gave up localizing the games they would need to censor altogether.

That logic flies through the window when you compare those releases to other, similar things in the market that dont get an AO rating.

I think the fact that the game sucks is a lot more important to whether or not you should play it than if underage porn was censored.

Trinity universe was a colaboration between gust , compile hearts and NIS.

NIS and compile hearts i think are in bad terms nowadays and gust was adquired by tecmo koei….. i suppose that could be the reason

F you

Yeah you can never really trust Ghostlight.

Don’t buy it.

Enough for me to dislike them at least.

Not at all.

Mugen Souls got super censored. People are pissed on the forums.

It’s definitely not the one who thinks underage porn is “exercising freedom”

you really are retarded consider doing a backflip in traffic

Mature!
