If you can't go without breasts in a cutscene, you need help

Rebel_Scum737d ago

Should’ve ended that sentence with either “you maggot” or “you puke” Sarge

Barlos737d ago

Well bloody hell, I guess I need committing then. Stick me in a padded cell

Eonjay737d ago

People need serious help if you 'need' to stare at a minors breasts. And some of you admitted that so at least we have acknowledgement. Can we not sexualize children? It shouldn't be considered progressive. I think the mass majority of people regardless of political view aren't into to kiddie boobs.

CrimsonWing69737d ago

look, man... why support censorship in any way? Forget the cleavage, it's the principle. Do you like owning the cable television edited version of a movie or do you want the original R-rated version?

I'd be just as irked by this if WB Games put out a patch that censored all the swearing and gore in an MK game. So, regardless of how you feel about boobs being covered up in the game, it's the principle of censorship that gets most people. I couldn't care less if she wore a sports bra from the beginning, what I hate is people covering my eyes and ears like I'm a 5-year old telling me, "This is too inappropriate for you."

So, yea, censorship is dumb as f*ck regardless of the content. Changing something that's already established that nobody made a big deal about, and nobody is getting their rocks off to (let's be real here), all because people get uncomfortable with boobs is dumb, plain and simple.

Like, give me a f*cking break here...

Yea, apparently you’re incapable of comprehending the point of the complaint. As another user mentioned, it’s principal. These are fictional characters in fictional worlds, it gives most people no pleasure see “the cleavage” as used in this example. The entire point is that we are all getting sick and tired of these fake and unnecessary DEI and ethics departments censoring media simply for the sake of it. Unless theres nudity, they should leave it alone.

Babadook7737d ago (Edited 737d ago )

I prefer the before, but I won’t make a mountain out of a molehill. (No pun intended)

CobraKai736d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

I mean she is portrayed as being 15 in the scene. I don't really consider it woke to cover up a child (begs questions why they did it in the first place though).

Rocketisleague737d ago

In the original nomura was going nuts with child panty references and such. Look it up

k2d736d ago

Devil's advocate here.. who's doing the objectification here though? How would progressives react if teenagers where asked to not show skin and cover up their feminine traits? No bare shoulders. No hair. No make-up etc.. 20-30 years ago the main stream tune was the complete opposite, and games where under attack from conservatives and we had to defend games from them. Now publishers are pre-emptively chastising and censoring to please left AND right, depending on which region of the world their trying to up ease.

dmonee735d ago

Alot of Japanese animation, cartoons, video games, are SuS, when it comes to sexual exploitation lol.

Gamingsince1981736d ago

She's not anything , she's not a real person, she was never born, they could make her nude and no harm would be done to anything but the minds of people that can't tell real life from video games.

OMGitzThatGuy737d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast737d ago

Actually they’re FOR exploiting children and promoting puberty blockers and life altering hormone treatment for minors. Do your research

qalpha736d ago (Edited 736d ago )

BlackRock is apparently FOR sexualizing minors. They (along with Disney) were vehemently against the Florida parental rights bill (better known as the 'don't sexualize young elementary kids' bill).

banger88737d ago

"It’s unclear why Square Enix opted to make this change around 4 years after the game’s release."

Because some progressive, blue-haired freak started quivering uncontrollably and frothing at the mouth?

CrimsonWing69737d ago (Edited 737d ago )

What’s weird about it? Females wear low cut shirts all the time, do you bust a nut over it? No… well, I’d hope not.

This is a person who has breasts that wore a low cut shirt, the end. It’s not child porn and nobody in hear was fapping to it.

When you go to a mall and some 15 year old has cleavage showing do you run up and throw a bed sheet over her? I mean Geezus you see more with swimsuits…

Our culture is so weird. We have people championing women for doing OnlyFans as such a brave and empowering decision. I see celebrities barely wearing anything on the red carpet exposing their nipples and butt cheeks and everyone is gawking at how amazing the outfit is.

A freaking game has a fake character that in no way looks 15 and in no way is oversexualized, but had a shirt with cleavage in what, a 30 second scene, and suddenly that’s where we draw the line… like what world am I living in?

andy85736d ago

Just personally find it weird. But what is actually weird is the people who are complaining about it. If she was 12 is that suddenly not OK. 10? There's a reason stuff like that isn't shown in media on children. You'll obviously see it in real life but doesn't mean it's right.

gold_drake737d ago

yes and to make it more in line with Rebirth. shes wearing a black undershirt in that game. consistency.

the japanese definetly didnt care if she has one on or not ha.

Barlos737d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman737d ago (Edited 737d ago )

Seems much more likely that the team simply wanted to prevent perverts from zooming in on the cleavage of a 15-year-old in photo mode. I'm pretty sure the Nibelheim flashbacks in Remake were only a couple seconds with a fixed cutscene camera, so that wasn't much of an issue until Rebirth where this character model is obviously used a lot more.

Maybe you guys should hold your horses until you've played the game and stop jumping to conclusions. I've already got spoiled about a scene that happens later on in the game and it certainly didn't fit your hypothesis of Square bending the knee to oversensitive "progressives" with an allergiy to attractive females.

They wanted to have consistency with the new character model. That basically it.

Why not make the new character model resemble the design of 4 years ago though?

gold_drake737d ago

while i want my games, especially the ff games with alot of lore, to be as accurate in their translation as possible, the english localisation took huge liberties in the first place.

the japanese and german for example are in line with one another. english is not. but yea. its a silly change, the steel sky was a great thing when she said it, but apperantly the original english lip movement was more in line with "i dont like it" than with "the steel sky, i miss it"

UK Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Plummets As Familiar Faces Retake The Podium

Nintendo Life: "We are back with another look at the UK physical gaming charts, and if you were expecting to see last week's surprise silver medallist towards the top of the pile again, you're sadly mistaken.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has dropped rather substantially from its second-place debut, and now finds itself way down at 17th — just one place behind Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which has made a surprise rebound this week, we might add."

Nice to see Ghost of Yotei back in the top 10. Code Vein II enters at nr. 9.

Neonridr32d ago

A lot of Nintendo on that list.

repsahj30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Glad to see the Metroid Prime 4 sales spike from #29 to #16. And Ghost of Yotei too.

PRIMORDUS29d ago

I will not play Final Fantasy VII again, because it should have never been separated into 3 parts to begin with. It should have been one game, no matter how long it takes to make.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade [Xbox] review - Perfect Intercession

"Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is proof that good things really do come to those who wait - only question now is how long it will be before Final Fantasy VII Rebirth reaches Microsoft and Nintendo platforms."

I played this 100% on PS4, PS5, and Steam. I’m going for the 1000/1000 and I love this game so much. I’m not bored with it and the last bit was so epic. I agree, it’s a 10/10 for me. Having a blast going through it for another time.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Review | NoobFeed

Zahra from NoobFeed writes: Final Fantasy VII REMAKE INTERGRADE works because it knows how to be careful. The story is told in depth within a single part instead of all at once. Each method helps the characters get better, the plots get more interesting, and the people stay involved. It doesn't feel like too much; it feels planned.

I am excited to know what it sold in its first month.

Tapani35d ago

I thought it was pretty, but mediocre in its storytelling, plot, gameplay and music. I liked the original game much, much more. No fluff, just pure awesome gameplay and a fast-paced story, and a better gameplay loop and system, and the music was better as well, not to mention the overall atmosphere.
