Well, I’m not about to buy it since that kind of game doesn’t look like my cup of tea in the slightest, but I’m glad they seem to be restoring content they cut in the vita localization at least. I think it’s a sign that they know they made a mistake and are willing to change.

Really loved this game on Vita regardless of the missing cards. Very happy it’s getting the uncensored treatment but it’s really not the same without the Vita rubbing.

This was one of the first card battling games I enjoyed playing and I’m glad to see PC users finally will get to experience it too.

Patching the Vita version would probably require a re-rating of the game

Bullshit but understandable bullshit at the very least

Yep, which is a shame. I’d respect them a whole lot if they went that far.

I think It will STILL CENSORED Guys. Lol at “meaning none are being removed for being too risque”.

This is Idea factory explanation when censored vita version:
“We kept the same number of cards in the game as the original Japanese
version, but replaced some of the higher level Monster Girl images with
the “less exposed” lower level versions of the corresponding Monster
Girls due to some intense sexual imagery.”

“None are being removed” is very worryingly NOT the same as “none are being altered.”

Agreed

Good Catch

> meaning none are being removed for being too risque.

That doesn’t mean jack-shit. The Vita version never had cards removed either, they merely altered the images on the cards.

I won’t buy into it unless they straight up say “this version is not altered/censored like the version on PS Vita.”

Isn’t this that game they wanted to release on PC a long time ago (even before the first Neptunia one) but then decided against after seeing the backlash the censorship got? Surely it wouldn’t make sense for them to release a censored version anyway now.

I.e. Making their localizing debut with a censored game

Well, the card art was removed entirely. Depends on how literally you want to take their wording. This news article is just second-hand sourced anyway, no direct quotation of what they said, so it’s too early to conclude anything from reading into the wording.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Cool.

Huh, I figured we’d get practically every IFI game on PC… but I never quite assumed this one would be among them as well.

And completely uncensored too at that too? I applaud their dedicatation to the (lewd) weeb audience.

Even if the art is uncensored, it’s not the same without the Vita touchscreen.

I want to have my cake and eat it too.

As long as it’s uncensored it’s good news. I really wanted to get this for vita but too much removed shit.

Ooh baby! Hope this game works with my Intuos4!

Who cares.
It’s PC.
You just switch some files and presto, uncensored game ready to go.

If this makes it through uncensored I might as well buy it for Steam even though I already have it for Vita. Gotta support art, right?

Wait, you mean the opposite of censorship? Does that exist?

Lol.

I see some people posting whether them not removing the cards means uncensored completely or there but altered and another site lists this quote exactly

“The PC port of Monster Monpiece will not have multiplayer support, however, it will include all of the original artwork featured in the game’s Japanese release.”

So based on that quote it should definitely mean that NONE of the cards will be altered and will be the exact same cards as the japanese version.

Though this makes me wonder what Mugen Souls PC ports excuse is to still be censored…

Geez I wonder if this will actually come out for Australia aswell unlike the Vita…

Are there games on Austrailian Steam that are unrated? On American Steam, there are lots of games that are not rated by the ESRB. If unrated games are a thing on Aussie Steam, I’d say your chances are good. … If not, well let’s hope for the best?

Probably not since games that don’t have a rating or can’t be rated are straight up banned here. It’s one of the reasons why we never got the Indie marketplace for the 360 at all. But I don’t know why we never got Monpiece when Europe did and idea factory never gave a reason.

Idea Factory is becoming one of my favorite localization teams. They actually listen to their fans. I’m proud of them.

Mhm, when did Australia adopt that R18 rating? Maybe IFI can submit it under that?

Hell Hyperdevotion Noire got rated R18+ while the Rebirth; games got Rated M with the exception of Rebirth 3 which Got MA15+ rating which I don’t understand why. Hell Noires game is less tame compared to the main games in the series.

But I’m in that .1% that wants to use his surface to make fapping motions to play a game.

Uh, sure. My explanation included that though. You aren’t telling me anything new.

And the game absolutely was moderated. The Vita version was censored, that’s a fact.

But your saying. When you buy a console you consent to having content rated, removed, or moderated.

which i feel is bullshit we don’t decide to play console so it can be censored. it just get’s down to the fact that publishers are afraid off Western backlash at the bullshit brought on by ”Feminist” and ”SJW”

so to skip cost because off ppl like that we all get to suffer along the road off censorship and we need to raise our voice to say F with censorship. so picking pc just cause it allows censorship is bullshit cause Steam censors X-rated VN.

i don’t think we are the minority, i think it’s more kinda like Islam, if you question it or are against it they label you as a bigot or a hater and get persecuted for it.

PC (political Correctness) is basicly killing this society. and what PC is get’s defined by the rich as usual considering they live in a bubble. now if you even use harsh language or make a critical comments about minorities. you get treated like a criminal regardless if the facts you bring to the table are truthfull.

Kinda right?
It’s not like they chose to censor a game and then decided to release the uncensored version on another platform (assuming no cards removed=uncensored).
But it’s still what they’d be doing in the end.

Anyways, this is overall good though, two wrongs wouldn’t make one right, releasing the game censored again wouldn’t make releasing it censored before any more right.

Surface gonna be good for this

Well you shouldn’t have bought it for the vita as it was censored. Speak with your wallet.

i am but hardly anybody dares call them out for it.

When MonPiece was released and censored for the PSVita, IFI wrote a a detailed post on their Facebook page explaining the situation, apologizing for the censorship and, finally, asking for our understanding on the matter (the post it’s still up if you want to see it).

I just took their words with a grain of salt, thinking “this it’s just PR bullshit/ damage control/whatever”. BUT now, seeing this anouncement, I wonder if IFI truly regetted censoring it and their words were honest, after all? If so, that’s not only great, but deserving of my respect.

Definitely buying the game if it’s true. Until we have more information telling us otherwise, this is a “God job, IFI” from me.

And here I expected to see you overjoyed at getting your uncensored flat justice.

The fact they are porting the game with all its cards means there won’t be any censorship~.

That’s kinda good news if true but still sad that vita version won’t be updated (but good thing is I bought the vita version on sale)

The touch screen feature was fun

“The publisher also confirmed they’re bringing the game to Steam with all
of its cards – meaning none are being removed for being too risque”
“meaning none are being removed for being too risque”
“none are being removed”

Well, shit, a company listening to their fanbase? It’s a shame I think NepNep is fucking boring bullshit or I would give them more money. Still, that’s a good sight of things to come. You guys better get ready for the “PEDO” comments on Steam, cause most of the cards removed are full on loli.

Hmm, Things could get interesting soon. I’m happy to see more of this stuff at Steam. I still do hope that they’d increase their port quality in-general.

Reminds me of the 3DS Gunvolt release to PC which ended up being a shit port but having all the Japanese 3DS content at last.

Terrible. So much for rating systems.

Well this doesn’t get better then this, the burning question is what the difference from this or the vita version apart from this one uncensored the vita was.

Plus coming from the same company that self censored it in the first place.

This time the SJWs or I don’t care group can’t fucking spin it’s way out of this one.

Both versions same content same gameplay 1 was censored the other is not. The ball is now in IFI Court to explain that they’re censored the vita version with-out going to the rating boards & couldn’t do a U-turn.

But IFI given the go ahead with all cards present for the steam version this makes it a cop out vita version = bad. PC steam = good no vita love from IFI.

in short what I’m getting at is by right this should be censored like the vita version but instead two versions one superior the other inferior.

& IFI was adamant that the game had to be censored.

Dude have you seen the cards removed? Less than half are lolis. And there’s 17 of them.

Ghostlight Ross is a SJW. I used to follow him on twitter and he’s raised red flags multiple times.

IFI should advertise the game with a “Banned from Neogaf” tagline.

Okay. I might consider supporting this version’s release if it’s confirmed that it is indeed uncensored. No preorders; I’m not at that level of trust yet, but it seems they might be able to at least partially redeem themselves after fucking up the Vita version. We’ll need to wait and see.

Bonus points if they can get Steam download cards for this game on the shelves of Gamestop stores.

Additionally, if iFI submits this game to the ESRB and it turns out to get rated “M” for mature, then any censorship of future titles done by companies such as NISA or Atlus should be seen as an attempt to exert their own morality/fears on their localizations (as was the case with the Vita version’s localization of MonMon, since it never had the threat of an AO rating to begin with). If it turns out to be the case, we seriously need to consider imposing a hardline boycott of any censored future titles followed by threats of company-wide boycotts communicated to them via emails/forums/social media.

I never bought the notion that ESRB was made up of prudes. If MonMon does get an “M” rating, then we should assume that the “we censored it because it would get an AO rating” BS that localization companies have been feeding us time and time again carries far less weight than they want us to believe. There’s been too many uncensored titles released recently that have gone by unscathed for this argument to hold up any further (thanks, XSeed).

It’s time to get serious on censorship, and it starts at the localization companies themselves. Funimation would’ve never redeemed themselves in the anime market, nor would 4kids have been driven out of the anime market, if neither were called out by the (true) fans who actually cared about the integrity of the titles they’ve previously butchered. The same needs to happen in vidya front.

I honestly don’t mind. It was around $6 or so and I got my money’s worth. At least the gameplay elements were all still there.

Finally I can pick this up! Keep it up IFI! You’ll join X-Seed as one of my favorite localizers! This is like an oasis in the middle of a censorship desert. 😀

Oh I am, I guess in my effort to give info to other posters I forgot to list my excitement haha

WooHoo uncensored flat justice!!! ^_^

They expressed their regret and apologized for how they handled the game originally. IF is already one of my favorite pubs but to see them however long after the original release say they are releasing it uncensored just shows that their words are more then just PR speak and I love them even more for it ^_^

We’ll see. In the meantime, I’ll stand by my point.

Basically, new booster packs open up on the shop as you complete a chapter; you won’t get the chance to try to get the strongest cards [which you’ll need for the endgame] until the very end game content. Through MP, whether you win or lose, you start collecting gems that you get to trade for either boosters or one of the two currencies in game once you collect seven or so [my memory is vague on that]. Thing is, the boosters you get in MP have a decent ratio of rare cards, plus they already come in their +2 / +3 versions. The boosters I bought on the game’s shop were.. well, I never got one single rare card~.

The original Monpiece featured the chance to buy boosters with real money, hopefully that won’t be shoehorned here due to the lack of MP to score rare boosters~.

Confirmed uncensored. This is the exact wording in IFFY’s Newsflash Volume 59.

“Additionally, the updated PC port of Monster Monpiece will not have multiplayer support, however it will include all the original artwork featured in the Japanese release of the game.”

Outside of that what else? And the fact that they learned from their mistakes and fixed it speaks to their strengths not weaknesses.

Aww how cute! She actually thinks I give a shit! :p

A company being honest to its fans and introspecting about past mistakes?
10/10 would support

I do hope they release a patch or something for the PS Vita to re-insert the removed since the PC version will come uncensored, and I am also curious, how will the level up system work on PC? I mean, on the Vita you had to rub the touchscreens, I wonder if on the PC it will function like one of those eroges where you have to rub the specific parts of the body.

Wait, Moero Chronicle will be uncensored? THAT WILL BE UNCENSORED?

YES. GOOD.

My apologies if I made it sound like it was licensed but Moero Chronicles isn’t licensed and probably never will be HOWEVER it does have an English Asian release that is easily importable and the quality of English subs is actually pretty good and not like the SAO Asian release at all ^_^ Moero Crystal was also announced to be getting it too and both games are completely uncensored if you import and since there is no DLC (that I’m aware of) you also don’t have to worry about about different region accounts and the hassle of it on the vita ^_^

I’ll explain it if you make a contract.

Never cared for the fact that MonMon was censored on the vita (Or at all for that matter) but I tolerated it because that was the only way to get it cheap and in English keyword “Cheap”. Now that it’s getting an Uncut steam release next year I might give it another chance if it goes on sale, It felt more like a cheap PC Browser game anyway and I doubt it’ll have trouble running on my PC. Now I can free up some precious vita memory card space to boot.

Good for the people who wanted the game uncensored, but the reality is that this type of game plays better on a handheld, so I kinda think that the majority of people who wanted this game have already bought it; will be interesting to see how the PC port does.

Puella Magi Magika Madoka.
It references the ending of the series.
Don’t make any contracts with anybody.
