The upcoming, and very lovely-looking Dragon’s Crown, has two websites, one for Japan, one for the US. Both are almost identical in design except for one thing: character art.
On the Japanese site, you can see nice, big pieces of art for each of the game’s playable characters. On the US site, though, two of them is missing. The first is Amazon (pictured above, left), a “fearless warrior”. What’s funny/strange about this little piece of censorship is that she’s not particularly sexual. Sure, there’s a bit of cleavage on show, but if her cleavage is the first thing you notice, well, you’re a perv. Because her cleavage is the smallest thing in that image.
Also missing on the US site is an image of the Sorceress character (pictured right), who on the Japanese site is portrayed as a magic user with enormous norgs.
Since the US version of the game is still “rating pending”, maybe Atlus just wants to get it down as low as possible so it can sell the game to as many people as possible. Even if that means those kids will be missing out on certain things.
