chose a game without that "objectionable kissing and mildly adult humor". But what we don't need is a company going to this length to change an existing product when they could just. Which feels like MoeNovel is to this game as 4KIDS was to ONE PIECE (remember the water gun pistols and the "hammer gun" and removing of English words on signs and clothes? Yeah. That, and the indication from players of the Japanese version that they changed certain routes that relied on erotic content into something very different. It's the blatant excessive censorship of non sexual romantic actions that bothers many of us. they should have chosen an already all ages game and translated that if they wanted to not have even the slightest visual hints of romance.Īgain, it's not the removing of the sex. Or, taking a look at your LPs, taking Magical Diary and removing any hints that MAGIC is used at all, going so far as to change the character sprites so it no longer looks like they're witches or wizard. It makes it lose part of what it is supposed to be. Like taking an action movie and editing the fights until you can't see any fighting. The translation is passable.īut removing and censoring such small tidbits? It's just. ![]() Until I found out the sheer degree of censorship that went into localization, I was fine. Censoring what is regularly shown in DISNEY movies because it is "too erotic"? That's not only pointless, it's insulting to think that they believed no one would buy and play a ROMANCE game if there was, you guessed it, ROMANCE YOU CAN SEE. Removing the sexual scenes? I'm ok with that. This includes editing the CG of kissing scenes so you either can't see a kiss at all or the lips no longer touch. They removed, changed, and censored anything they considered too erotic. It's been proven in the past that all ages versions being released is A ok with people in the community (no one cried mutiny when KiraKira got an all ages release).īut there is another aspect (besides the translation quality that, while not atrocious, isn't particularly good even by just basic English standards and forgoing the fact it is translated, being better than Pacaplus does not give it a free ride from "ok" to "great") and that is this: Most people don't CARE that the sex has been removed. While SOME are mad that the sex is removed and SOME are overreacting. If we really want visual novels to prosper in the west, we need to get behind these people. Some people will claim that file sharing doesn't hurt it but again, another discussion for another day. Not destroying them and then pirating the hell out of the game as a consequence. Just because people miss out on breasts does not make it the worst game on the website.Ĭonsidering they're one of not many visual novel publishers for the west, everyone should be getting behind them and giving them a pat on the back for even trying. One star means the game is the worst thing you have ever played and has absolutely no entertainment value whatsoever. ![]() The only review for this game on ( see right at the bottom) is one star on the basis that they had taken content out. But since Moenovel has taken out the content, a lot of people have been destroying them for it, some people tried to justify their anger by pirating the game and showing them what happens when "you mess with us", which I found enfuriating but that's another topic for another day. ![]() Now, everytime someone says that "visual novels are just sex games" everyone immediately tramples them down to the ground and points to clannad. They got rid of the sexual content and censored other parts up. Moenovel recently officially translated a game called "Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa wo Hirogete" (If My Heart Had Wings), official translations aren't rare but aren't common, they've got everything down to a tee other than a move which a lot of people hated them on for.
