Atlus is changing Catherine: Full Body so as not to offend depraved nu-western sensibilities after complaints from transsexuals about the game’s original ending, says voice actress Erin Fitzgerald (the voice of “trans” character Erica in the original game), confirming that the localization team has tried to “adjust bigotry represented in the Japanese version.”
Catherine: Full Body offended some of the mentally ill due to one of its endings “implying that a trans character was happier for not transitioning” – unfortunately it seems the controversy made its way to the localization team as Erin Fitzgerald implied that changes may be coming to the Western version:
Other comments from Erin Fitzgerald in regards to the controversy:
Unfortunately it will be quite some time before barbarian gamers get to experience the quality of this outstandingly brave localization effort, as Catherine: Full Body is due in the West on PS4 come September 3rd.







No buying the game then, why fuck I’ll support a company that is changing everything because some crybabies doesn’t like something?
You want to know what piss me off the most why can’t the company have the balls to say go fuckyourself sjw’s why can’t they have more balls wtf.
Good god, this. Feels like we’re back in the fucking dark ages with all this willy nilly removal of “offensive” content.
because they have influence to damage your business obviously
Imaginary one.
They are just that much more vocal than regular customers.
Which make them appear as bigger threat. Not to add brain-dead idiots lacking any understanding of the situation, that will come upon those whines, and consider them as fact. Thus adding to the mix.
Just like in nature..smaller dogs bark louder.
SJWs also aren’t going to buy the fucking game either. so they are just ruining a game for people that were going to put money down on it.
It’ll be $20 by Black Friday anyway as the game is niche as hell and after the initial burst of sales it won’t sell shit. Retailers have to clear stock for new stuff so expect heavy discounts after a few months.
Why on earth would you ever buy PS4 games new unless you really want to support that dev? Just buy it used, save 90% of the money.
It’s a good thing. I mean, not buying the games.
The games stop selling on the west, they stop coming.
Games stop coming, they stop being relevant.
Irrelevant games gather no attention.
No attention means no patethic outcries.
Which means no censership.
I just need to learn japanese, now, since I’ll have to import games then.
And this is why I play Japanese versions of games. Who cares about “dubs” anyhow.
Good luck with that since the West is now forcing its values onto the Japanese markets as well.
Well, Sony anyway.
The west has literally always been about forcing their values on other people, this isn’t a new thing
With video games so far, and by one company that calls itself global.
Sounds very diverse and culturally respective.
…Those who can’t speak or read Japanese?
Just buy the version from Southeast Asia.
Just learn to? What are you waiting for?
learning to read japanese is a very tall order
Better to start sooner than later. I speak from experience.
Not if you actually care about games. How long did people wait for KH3, like 10+ years? You can learn enough Japanese to play these games untainted in half that.
If the Kanji doesn’t kill you, the Keigo will
dont play
All long it has English subtitles on it i am fine with it
Many do.
But there’s nothing like selective marketing.
And this is why the fantasy genre sucks.
Everything has to be relatable.
There’s no creativity, innovation, no more imagination.
It’s limited because everything has to represent everyone everywhere.
Made up BS has to reflect realistic BS.
So the entertainment industry caves in, not to necessarily to sympathise with the masses but just to get them to buy the product.
Say the 1st Catherine title sold 1million copies.
How many of actual Gamers that bought it really don’t care about relatable representation vs those Gamers who did buy it & actually do care.
So who’s the target audience really.
Hint, There’s more of a guarantee those that don’t care are going to buy it anyway.
Ruining fantasy with realism… Sounds familiar…
Bend the knee, no money for thee. Get your shit together Japan, these people hate you like the war never ended. Nothing will change that. Do not cater to them, they are not the one buying your games.
Japan is not catering to them, they released the Japanese version the way they wanted. It’s the western SJWs who shit on their work and release a “translation” that suits their agenda. Japan still gets paid for the license, no Japanese will play the English shit. They are just collecting some cash then letting the west fuck up itself.
Even the Japanese version changed some “transphobic” lines from the original game. One I’ve heard is that when Erica brings up becoming a female wrestler, a character doesn’t go “I don’t think you can do that” anymore.
The Japanese version IS the original game…
I hope these people get murdered, it would be so ironic, they want the world to be some fluffly everyone is happy and no one is offended place, but imagine how offended they’d be right before someone gets sick of their shit and brutally murders them. It’d be quicker if they just realized how awful they are and killed themselves.
Because this was never about equality. New gen faggotry found a perfect little comfort zone on the internet, where every fragile angsty dumbass can join a group and feel like belonging somewhere. All while having “justified” standing to belittle everyone else.
And, as it turns out, a degree of influence how others might do things.
Since everyone without exception would like everyone else to do shit that him/her envisioned.
It’s even worse now that discord has gotten so popular. Degenerates like this can operate so much easier in larger private groups, whether it’s orchestrating voting on online polls to sway the way content creators make content, or by orchestrating outrages to push some agenda, legislation etc. It’s completely enabled the faggot reddit brigading mentality, but what else can you do but use it? Teamspeak and skype blow ass (especially the new forced updates on skype) and discord servers can be propped up and joined in seconds. Sites like the chans might have started/popularized the brigading, but reddit certainly took it to a whole new level of frequency and brutality like when they ruined many innocent people’s lives over the Boston bombing with doxxing, death threats, firings and false accusations because they wanted to circlejerk each other over role-playing detectives. I basically see discord as an extension of reddit now. That site alone has ruined a lot of mediums for people to enjoy themselves in the comfort of their homes and discord has only enabled them to be even shittier people. For example, in the past few days my friend showed me how people on reddit are whining to CD Projekt Red about “trans inclusion” in their upcoming game… fucking cancerous.
I do not wish to see the discord as a problem.
But there’s definitely a problem with how people use it. Or well, specifically which people.
Thankfully it’s not one big social chat, where everyone can bother everyone else.
Still, the whole ganging up to affect pools, voting, spread bad reviews ects ects is a sad fact. One that should never happen.
I mean, to what degree you would need to be angry crooked asshole, to organize in a bigger group, just to get in the way of something you simply do not fancy, but otherwise have no relation to whatsoever?
Those people really need a few lashes with a whip, to get solid reality check.
>I Hope these people get murdered
And that is how incels.is v0.5 got shut down folks. And you wonder why people call you a fascist when you are calling for violence like that.
They should just do everyone a favor and just remove the trans character from the game. Trans people are either mentally ill or just attention whores and don’t need to be in a hetro game anyways.
Or maybe they should just do their job and fucking do a faithful translation of the existing game. If they want something different, they should make their own trannie game from scratch instead of shitting on someone else’s work.
But they can’t make own games. Too much effort.
So instead they will bitch and moan and threaten on others, so others will do what they are incapable of.
Or they should remove trannies from the world.
Canceled my pre-order. Waiting for reviews now.
Can we just nuke the west? I just cannot stand this bullshit anymore…
Nah, just any city over 150,000 people and anywhere a “movie star” lives.
There’s still good ppl in those regions, no nuking yet, just try to get the Japs out of Cali.
Get off sancom and far right-wing sites. Most of this shit disappears. Get off the internet and not even breadtube can bother you with real violations of the law regarding this shit.
not west. murica only will do
Just cull the sexual deviants like any good society did since antiquity.
It’s specifically California (and maybe a bit of Texas). Remove those and the situation would improve significantly. You wouldn’t hit everyone, but you’d get like 90% of the big shots.
You forgot New York.
Can’t touch Texas. Chuck Norris won’t let it happen.
Then again…California hired Terminator..damn.
well guess i know what game im NOT getting
Hey Atlus, here’s my response to all this rubbish: you change this or any other story piece/ending in any way that alters the original Japanese intent, and you don’t get my money.
If the Japanese didn’t know they were fucking up because they don’t understand trans people then it isn’t “japanese intent” it’s just their ignorance.
It would be like getting pissy that a company changed something in an 80’s anime from cringeworthy engrish into what the creator was actually trying to say.
Atlus Japan didn’t fuck up at all. They just don’t care about mentally unstable snowflakes that live in a perpetual state of outrage shitting on their game.
>Dude gives legitimate reasoning why someone does something
>SHUT UP SNOWFLAKES
And now you see why the left wins. Idiots don’t know what actual arguments are and just default to six year old tears. Guess PJW was wrong: righties still can’t even joke. smh.
literally this, the right has the biggest whining babies, crying about the tiniest “reeeeeeeee inclusion!” or “reeeee this is too politically correct!” thing in any media. We get it, the Ghostbusters reboot was bad and you find trans people weird, calm the fuck down and stop getting so triggered over anything remotely left-winged
First, you assume that the Japanese devs “fucked-up” anything. Second, you assume that the Japanese devs are “ignorant”.
Third, you assume that the Japanese devs (aka creator) are not conveying exactly what they wish to convey and are somehow “misinterpreting themselves”, which alone is utterly ridiculous.
That’s a lot of assumptions, and you know what they say about assuming things. Just in case though: “It makes an ass out of you (not) me”.
Just because some mentally ill trannies are screeching doesn’t mean they “fucked up”.
I’d put more weight on it than sankaku edgelord screeching.
@13:11
One: I suppose you are mad at the trannies that are either early in their change, or full hons due to late game transition. Don’t fuck them and get over it. Second: why the fuck are you looking at real girls anyhow? 99% of them look like trash to begin with so crying over a tranny is doubly stupid. Third: why are you such a snow flake about a cartoon character? Your waifu is shit to begin with.
Given Japanese society in whole, and Western societies in general, the creative developers fucked-up nothing. The only ones who fucked-up were those who thought it was a good idea to chop-off their “wedding tackle” and dump chemicals into their own bodies to make themselves hideously malformed.
Lol. Not even trans degenerates understand themselves.
Barbarian gamers? Try barbarian Muslims.
What do Muslims have to do with this? Also aren’t Muslims supposed to be against trans?
They’re also pro-loli, so parts of their beliefs are OK. Of course the fairy tale parts and the tendency to invade other countries to impose their ideology and well, being stinky sand niggers who’ll behead you if you don’t believe in their shit outweigh the benefits.
Turns out muslims don’t like trans either…
Since white Catholics priests are 100% gay pedophiles, I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t secretly in support of trannies.
Come again? You’re like textbook example of ranting faggotry of internet, that never ends own anger.
What makes you think that 100% of them is deviants?
Because next buddy of yours said so?
catholic faggots are the worst kind of faggots
Looks like a found the faggot pedophile priest
Faggots? Yeah, all of them? Nah.
You conspiring cock-sucking jew-muslim offspring, spreading internet cancer from your HQ in Dubai.
Islam was right all along….now enjoy your LGBT goodness!
Muslims and the mentally ill. Potentially the same people.
Whenever a Muslim commits a terror attack on mainland Europe, they push the “mentally ill” narrative on the population to explain away their actions.
Its like they’re saying Muslims that follow a warped doctrine are mentally ill.
Isn’t this what Americ…. Oh, I see what you did.
Wait… thats what they say when whiteboys kill people in the US.
And Europeans don’t immediately execute them? For shame.
Believe me when I say, we’re boiling with anger here, for them just sticking around.
Alas, if you’re not politician, you got no real say in about anything.
And if you decide to go against the law, then you’re criminal, or outright terrorist (depending from how far you went heh).
Don’t unveil our ways goyim!!!
If it offends dont buy simple
That’s exactly what everyone is saying they’ll do. Maybe you should read the other comments before offering your advice, Captain Obvious.
Thanks for your service Captain Illiteracy. His comment may be directed to the people offended by the original content and/or to the people offended by the localization, and in a beautiful display of the illiteracy powers, you jumped the gun.
Yes, I’m sure the people offended by the original content come here to read the comments.
most of these transbabies, wont even play your game.
You know what the gayest thing is? Trannies- the hot ones- are competition for women. So, they’ll get fucked over. You will own nothing, your “job” will be donating life energy to Cop-Emperor Jinping-Harris’s psychic throne, you will nevertheless be able to lose your livelihood and the ability to own money for violating Google China’s TOS… And retards on the dipshit controlled-opposition right will be able to pretend they’re winning, because trannies aren’t cool anymore.
All this arguing and fighting just goes to show why gender itself is stupid. You care more about made up concepts than how you behave.
I don’t care what color you are, I don’t care what body parts you have, it’s only idiots I can’t stand.
Imagine being so afraid of the sjw boogeyman that you want to boycott a game for changing a whole 4 lines of dialogue
I don’t like what they did to Erica, but what the hell, they are changing original content? That’s not translation!
Yet another game company caving to people that are so fragile they have to whine about games hurting their brain.
As if any of these snowflakes were going to buy the game anyway . . .
I really could care less about trans in the past but after they keep whining so much in social media I don’t mind Muslims throwing them off the roodtop now.
Well you lost a sale, Atlus. Yar har for me!
Reign in the faggots at your American offices.
Hey Shit, this is you: https files cat box moe/x5bd47 jpeg
All in favor of calling the author a barbarian?
Once again we see the insanity that these mentally ill people wear like some badge of honor. These..SJWS..they expect the world to be one giant hug box..but you cannot force people to accept you any more than you can force the sun to rise or the tides to go out.
Fucken gay faggot trannies ruin everything
Faggots have complete control of the entertainment industry now, just complain and cry about something and they get their way. Theyre gay because of their compulsive disorders, cure than and maybe theyd just shut the fuck up and suck some dick
Not buying then.
What the fuck.
The bigots are the ones complaining since they are the ones that can’t even accept a piece of fucking fiction. A piece of fiction you have to actively pursue and then pay for.
people still play localized shit? o__O
“We do not like this character because they are not trans”
100% equality
THE FUCKING KIKES ARE AT IT AGAIN ((((FITZGERALD))) THAT DAM SHE KIKE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO LADS ONE WAY TRAIN TICKET TO THE OVENS WITH THESE RATS
Nuke that LGBT breeding ground U.S.A now before its too late.
Agreed. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump is secretly sucking off trannies.
So you caved into people that weren’t going to buy the game. Quit sacrificing sales on the altar of SJWs that will never, ever, be happy.
Here we go now the Japanese market is plagued by thoses crying babies.
Not exactly- they got their own ending, but changed the one specifically for the Western audience.
CLICKBAIT N°4632663
STOP SANKAKU STOP
Russia please just fucking nuke the US already. The rest of the world is tired of these perpetually offended faggots.
IDIOT
you
Time to learn Japanese, you filthy hairy barbarians!!!
The Muslims are the real barbarians, not us.
I don’t know… if voice actress says how japanese version was full of bigotry and homophoby… I just can’t find words stating how a dumb person you must be to work in such project. Especially when you statement says VA didn’t like it. HYPOCRISY AWAKE ONCE AGAIN.
If I were thinking such things, I would not voice act for such project. These people are mentally ill.
No one cares about this shitty game, sankaku. Just go back to posting porn.
Clickbait because the only way for sancom to get ppl to click on their useless articles is to trigger the conservative attack dogs and get political af. LUL
-Sigh- Well goddamnnit another company catering to oversensitive people who don’t matter. Well I already got the Japanese version anyway so I suppose I’m just gonna either rent the English version or just get it for really cheap cause I’m not supporting this full price regardless how much I absolutely loved the original game.
how brave of them to ruin it for everyone to please the minority
fk SJWs
Gay dictatorship
It does honestly seem like a shitty move to change Erica in general, especially for the best ending, like shitty ending would of been better for it. For Atlus who tries to be “hip” with the kiddies to do something big like that is more of an error on their part.
Also with the US version most likely changing it via dialog to just have her say she felt like wearing a suit that day it’s better to edit it now so that they don’t get angry again in 6 months when it comes out.
What else is new? Let’s make America great again with sexual allegations and build walls of censorship entertainment.
Also people are taking stuff out of context in the ending, is not as terrible as some people believe. I mean I can see them fixing the supposed trans-phobia real quickly with like one or two line added. So honestly the censorship will most likely not be anything drastic most likely unless they really do have an agenda and want to put all that extra work.
>Atlus cucks to…
Jesus, I hope this fucking dude doesn’t get paid for his articles. They are literally just shitposts with images saved from /vpol/ threads.
LET THEM HAVE THEM FUCKING BOOBS
Looks like I won’t be buying this then. Nor will I purchase it on PC as I was planning.
I’ll just stick to my old 360 version.
First of all go fuck yourself sankaku, seriously, you toxic scum of a news site, (but good porn).
Also I personally do not like the fact that the voice actor is saying the game is being a bigot. Because while I understand that Japan currently compare to us is not progressive when it comes to the lgbt+ community, I think it is unfair to say they were being bigots, because even if it did came across bigoted, it is clear that was not their intent from their reply. I mean not everybody in Japan is a traditionalist, who do not believe in the rights of the lgbt+ community. That just honestly plain racist. I mean lots of anime is counter culture and in someway can be consider SJW by Japan standard. So I do not like the bigotry comment by the voice actor.
I feel like people want to make someone be the enemy, be evil, instead of just being human, and in being human not everything we do is perfect and will make everybody happy.
I say a perfect happy medium, would be allowing the player to see the original story, instead of the alter censor west version. So both side are happy, and not just censoring something just because you do not agree with it.
As far
“I say a perfect happy medium, would be allowing the player to see the original story, instead of the alter censor west version.”
That’s actually not a horrible idea, but that said you should leave and never come back. Take your “-ists” and LGBT nonsense with you. Everyone is sick to death of you fuckers injecting your shit into everything. Just make a break away society already and stop trying to smash every one together and force us to sing kumbaya. We don’t share the same values. That’s not how nations or society works. You’re just creating more enemies for yourselves.
Bigoted bullies win again.
And that’s another game I won’t be buying. Get woke, go broke. Stop catering to SJWs and you’ll get my money.
Fuck this whole situation, man. I hate how outrage culture and these idiotic people react to all this.
“Oh no, every single scene depicting a trans character isn’t followed by a round of applause by the entire cast, Villans and all, waaah”
And none of the people they changed this for will buy the game.
No doubt the head of Atlus USA is a libtard, which would explain why they folded so quickly. A Conservative would have laughed away that shit.
Meh, seems just like normal PR, doubt they really cucked
And just like that, they’ve lost a customer
I’m not going to buy this game now. I don’t want to buy anything from the cucks at Atlus that get intimidated by mentally ill people.
> screeches about ‘trannie snowflake socail studies warrierz’
> came from site with literally thousands of pics of girls with huge dicks railing traps n’ shit
truly a self-aware world we live in.
>tries to distract from argument that these degenerates try and influence the way creators make things with alleged hypocrisy (Tu quoque)
>fails horrendously because said people complain about said influencers, and they aren’t being hypocritical because they’re not influencing themselves, just complaining, while influencers are actually trying to make impacting change (for the worse)
There’s also way more pics of straight shit on sites like this because statistically, ya know, most people are straight. Really seems like you’re the definition of concern-troll autism like “I sympathize with (x SJW political movement) because of the backlash it received. Complaining about SJWs is more cancerous than SJWs amirite?”
those loli futas are slave
How thin skinned would you have to be to get pissed off by this change.
How thin skinned would you have to be to want to get the game changed?
Censorship to appease a hyper sensitive section of society is rampant these days and people are sick to death of it. These people are ruining the enjoyment of others now.
It’s not the change that’s the issue but the fact they altered the original to suit there narrative and appease the easily offended.
Makes me remember (One Piece) Sanji and his lollipop and oh so many other altered games/ anime etc.
regardless of the reasons/intentions they should not be altering the original content to suit themselves and appease people who most likely wont be purchasing the product.
So thin skinned that you have no skin.
ResetEra is that way, faggot. 8===========>
I think you meant 8~>
This will ruin trans acceptance down the line, people cannot bend the knee for LGBT forever. #gowokegobroke is proven to be real, and it’s time companies got on OUR level
