Because a game like The Great Ace Attorney doesn't need one, this does.

Serenes Forest are afraid NOA will censor it after the Polygon interview.

Spoiler

wait what?

[zroid]

hahaha

 

[DNAbro]

seems incredibly pointless

 

[Jarmel]

Wait, NOA is going to censor the game?

 

[GameE]

... why?

 

[Spinosaurus]

How long till Nintendo steps in

 

[DrArchon]

That seems a little extreme. There's no conformation of censorship right? So why not just wait and see if it does get censored?

 

[Sakura]

Seems like a waste of time. If they are afraid NOA is going to censor it, I feel like it would be easier to uncensor the game when it comes out than to fan translate the entire thing.

 

[Muzy72]

This game is getting localized in a few months. I feel like this effort is better put towards another game lol.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Wait, NOA is going to censor the game?

No.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[theprodigy]

Yes, the users at Serenes have gone off the deep end.

 

[MrDaravon]

What.

 

[Hot Coldman]

thank god, I really need all the incest to remain intact

 

[Crocodile]

A fan translation for a game that is already confirmed to be localized within a year by one of (if not the best) localization companies in the industry?

Do these guys have nothing better to do?

 

[BedBison]

Why waste your time with this when there's plenty of other 3DS games that WON'T get localized? Translate those if you're gonna do this.

 

[Tenki]

I hope they translate the new Super Mario game if it comes out a week earlier in Japan than in the rest of the world.

 

[Jarmel]

Seems like a waste of time. If they are afraid NOA is going to censor it, I feel like it would be easier to uncensor the game when it comes out than to fan translate the entire thing.

They would indeed seem to be the simpler solution.

 

[KHlover]

So they read the interview where Nintendo confirms that they left the same-sex marriages in for the US version and their first though is..."OMG Nintendo will censor this we need to create a fan translation"

Riiight....

 

[Kouriozan]

Welp.
I understand the delay might be frustrating, but it's nearly pointless.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

No thanks, I'll wait for the official (hopefully censored) version.

 

[dakkumauji]

Seems like a waste of time. If they are afraid NOA is going to censor it, I feel like it would be easier to uncensor the game when it comes out than to fan translate the entire thing.

It's actually probably a lot easier to translate and enter the text than trying to reinsert deleted scenes/text into the localized version.

What about the even more incestual tones than before, or Tharja's ass being censored in Awakening?

 

[Forkball]

I've also decided to translate Yoshi's Woolly World from British English to English.

 

[Nairume]

That's going to be one amazingly fast C&D.

 

[MillionStabs]

Why would they announce it? Just finish the FT, and post it on MediaFire. Ninty can't CAD you at that point.

 

[Puruzi]

Good, if it gets censored at all then I want this.

 

[DooD1234]

Uhh, what kind of censorship are they worried about?

 

[Nanashrew]

This feels so incredibly pointless :T

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

What exactly will NoA censor? I'll just wait for actual translation.

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Hope the game doesn't get censored.

 

[SliceSabre]

E-cred.

 

[Immaculate]

Uhh, what kind of censorship are they worried about?

dialog changes that imply sexual stuff and the fact you can marry your sisters (they aren't blood related)

 

[Jarmel]

Ego. Every time.

 

[Sakura]

Eh, I don't see how. We don't even know what will be censored, if it will be censored, and to what extent. If there are changed CG stills like in Awakening, they could just replace them with ones for the Japanese version, or if prerendered cutscenes have been changed, they could replace those too.
If you are fantranslating the game, you have to already be able to edit the content of the game files, inserting text and such. Translating is also a very very long process requiring many man hours.

 

[xzeldax3]

Tharja's censorship made the image more risqué because it seemed like she was bottomless.

 

[wrowa]

I hope this game gets censored. That Amie shit looks straight up embarassing and I'll be very glad if they tone it down.

Also, I'm all for fan translating games, but translating games that are already confirmed for a localization is absolutely a no-go for me.

 

[Killah]

I welcome this but they really should've waited till it got released to do an uncensored patch.

 

[Fireblend]

Is there any petition yet to make sure Nintendo will keep being able to rub your sisters' faces and marry them in the game?

Spoiler

Asking so I can sign it.

 

[Ezalc]

Wait, NOA is going to censor the game?

We can only hope they take out all the needlessly sexual shit in the game.

 

[Puruzi]

Tharja's censorship made the image more risqué because it seemed like she was bottomless.

That wasn't the intention though, so I don't see how that's relevant.

 

[DNAbro]

some pretty lewd lines most likely.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

What a waste of their time.

Don't realize this was coming to vita too

 

[Tempy]

Great job revealing this. Plenty of time for the Cease & Desist letter to be sent.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

This seems like it's just attention-seeking and raging against the machine.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

doesn't it come out like 2016 for the west? that's not a few months

that's half a year at least

I need my FE yo

This happened a few times with some games on DS. I believe Final Fantasy IV got one, but it stayed as a menu patch.

I would have also suggested "w-well, do DQVII" but then I remember Square actually sent a DMCA claim about it...

 

[Rymuth]

I admire their zeal

It happened with Pokemon Black and White as well for whatever reason.
