Statement makes it sound like, even if they bring back the censor toggle, the game won't be allowed to have the entire original presentation even in the west, which is concerning. I'm not fully against content changes/"censoring", one of my favorite Switch games (Fate/Stay Night) is heavily censored from the original and that's fine, because the original creator says it's actually more in line with their original vision. But the crude and adult content of Dispatch is part of its identity, so any changes need to be thoughtful so as not to detract from the original intention.
After playing Awakening, I one day suddenly recalled that I had once owned Shadow Dragon and sold it. At the time I couldn't remember a thing about it, and worried that maybe I had sold the game before actually putting any time in.
So more recently I purchased the game again and played it for a while. It took me about ten chapters to confirm that I had indeed played it before, but that the entire game was so lackluster that I'd forgotten most everything that had happened. Characters were boring, the art was a step backwards from the GBA entries, the difficulty was laughable (granted, I'm a series vet) and I had absolutely no investment in the story. I would recommend any other game in the series (that has come west) before I'd tell anyone to pick this game up.
