Really disappointed in Nintendo Life for repeatedly calling this "censorship." Other sites are not using such a loaded word- your bias is showing.
This is not censorship- it's localization. The Japanese version is a port of the localized Western version, which itself was never "censored." Atlus & Nintendo can release any cut of any game they please, and it is not censorship. They are releasing the product they want to release, as is their prerogative. Calling it censorship is wholly innaccurate and it trivializes real censorship that's actually oppressing people in far less free countries than the US or Japan.
All of you'll who are up in arms about this need to relax. And maybe take a chill pill, pick up a newspaper, and point your anger and rage towards the stuff you read in there that actually matters
