Western Opening Movie for Crystar Has Footage Cut, But Only On PS4

Spike Chunsoft has shared a new trailer for Crystar.

Featured above, the new trailer shows off the various characters in the upcoming action RPG.

The trailer shows off the following characters:


  • Rei Hatada – The protagonist who fights in Purgatory to bestow Revival to the sister she killed. The story isn’t about saving the world, but pursuing her ego as she wishes to bring her sister back to life. Despite facing despair and weeping over her weakness and uncertainty, she has the strength to press on. Though quiet and serious, when she becomes emotional she demonstrates an intensity that’s directly opposed to her usual, soft-spoken demeanor. She is capable of doing anything to protect those she cares for.
  • Kokoro Fudoji – A living woman who teams up with Rei in Purgatory. She is an Executor and has a Guardian named Diogenes. Her child and the man she loved were killed by Anamnesis. She battles in Purgatory, obsessed with getting revenge on Anamnesis. However, she usually is kind and cheerful, the older-sister type who likes cute, young girls.
  • Sen Megumiba – A living girl who teams up with Rei in Purgatory. She is an Executor and has a Guardian named Socrates. Sen is the sole survivor of a major accident in which she lost her beloved mother. Thanks to the influence of her father, who is a prosecutor, Sen values the law and justice above all else. She fights in Purgatory as a way to pursue the justice she believes in.
  • Nanana – A humanoid Revenant who becomes infatuated with Rei in Purgatory. As a deceased person, no one knows why Nanana likes and follows Rei around so persistently. She possesses great power and changes an entire region of Purgatory to prevent Rei and her group from progressing. “Fun and exciting” is her catchphrase. Despite being a Revenant, she becomes an Executor and helps Rei on her journey.

Also, Spike Chunsoft confirmed roughly 0.5 seconds of footage from the opening movie of the game has been cut, because it features protagonist Rei’s naked butt, albeit briefly. This was only cut on the PlayStation 4 version, and nothing else has been changed or removed in the western release.

Here’s a look at the offending buttocks:

Crystar is launching for Windows PC (via Steam) and PlayStation 4 on August 27th in North America and August 30th in Europe.
