I Am Setsuna - A case in ridiculous censorship
1As many of your classic gamers might be aware, I Am Setsuna (formerly Project Setsuna) had some hype behind. It was being built up and heralded as the best homage to a Chrono Trigger/Cross/FF 6 RPG we'd seen in years. It was going to be atmospheric, awesome, have familiar combat and a great soundtrack. Well, this egg had its shell crack pretty quick. First, the soundtrack came under fire. Then, the games mechanics caught some flack. After sometime, the purchase numbers were lower than expected. Finally, questions about the localization arose. Today, I share with you something I noticed a few days back. The game CENSORS bad words out of character names when you chose not to accept their default name.
I have a problem with this. This is *MY* game I paid for. I even want to far as to pick up a used Vita to be able to play it where/when I wanted. It has zero online components. Nobody but me will see this game so why the fuck are you censoring what I type for a character name? That is straight up garbage. This isn't WOW or a game where my account name becomes visible. This is a single player, offline only experience so why am I being censored in my own home?
