The Square Enix Griefing Thread

I should make a clickbait video titled "Remember when Nintendo OWNED this BLACK PERSON?!?!?!" and it's a picture of Ken Griffey Jr. in the thumbnail, because they owned the Seattle Mariners at one point
And breatubers and gaming virtue signalers will eat that shit up

As i mentioned some few months ago here, Tifa cowgirl outfit was censored. Well today Square Enix deployed a 8GB update for the 4 year old game FF VII Remake Intergrade. Update was just to cover up Tifa's cleavage.

That subtitle really sums shit up perfectly. Why the hell did they do this considering she's in a bikini in the new game?

Like I said in the Sony thread, don't fall for the "Tifa's tits are back! Square Enix is saved, buy the game!" narrative, Square continues to believe in the DEI and the ESG shit.

Man. They cannot even do a convincing job of it either. Looks photoshopped.
This reminds me of the mods for Mass Effect that would "fix" the clothes of strippers and various female characters to show less skin. The result was just a plain black texture. I believe the mods are still on Nexus.

edit: found the mod (see the dancer on the right, lol)

So what's the logic behind this?

They will censor (a.k.a. butcher) Tifa to hell and back, but yet trot her out like she's a show horse for all the "fans" to ooohhh and aaahhh at her.

I get she was many people's first love (waifu), but come the fuck on, that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to call out bullshit when you see it.

IMO Tifa is the equivilant of Mai from KOF/FF and ChunLi from SF. You can show respect for them, as they are the O.G. sexy ladies of the past, but if they've been done dirty by the compnaies they came from, then they should absolutely be blasted for it.

And if said companies won't listen, just fucking move on. Plenty of other fish (waifus) in the sea. 2B and more recently the Stellar Blade chick fit in that spot nicely. Hell, you can go in DeviantArt and find coomer artists that do the characters better justice than the official artists.

They're sick fucks for sure, and deviantART is a gateway for fetish freakshows

can't have people maybe get a better perception of the company, it's not like they need to money or anything. forspoken 2 when? :story:
 
So since you're talking about the Tifa censorship in this thread too, I just want to remind everyone that she is a minor in the flashbacks.

Everyone here is hilariously overreacting. It looks like a legit fuckup that wasn't in the original PS4 version and she's underage.

That wasn't the only change by the way. They altered the final line to be more accurate to jap text.

It's just Nomura autism. He did that for kh3 and melody of memory.

But they censored her as an adult in FF7R too, so they just censored her in it entirely due to their gay ESG shit. I don't mind them covering her up in principle, but their intentions here are crystal clear, and that's what the problem is.

I think she's supposed to be 16, But so what? She's a a bunch of pixels, and its just some cleavage. Not like she's naked.
It shouldn't matter if they add a few more pixels, then.

It matters because fuck censorship, always.

Exactly. Tifa being "16" here isn't the problem, and they clearly didn't give a shit originally, nor should they. This is them kowtowing to moral guardians and the DEI Illuminati of Black Rock and Friends. I'm honestly surprised that they allowed Tifa to get her tits back in the beach scene, but we'll see if they try to go back and censor that later too.
 
burqa when? squeenix needs that middle-eastern audience money too after all.
To be clear, Tifa's outfit didn't bother me, I'm just quipping at the "it's just pixels bro" argument.

Well, let's just agree to disagree before we derail this thread. Null already threadbanned me from the Stellar Blade one for arguing with someone who insisted it was a coomer game, I don't want another lol

I pretty much agree. I think in the case of FF7R they're just sticking to their original woke roadplan since it's already been out a while anyway.

With Rebirth, however, they're trying to garner some good will back with fans, they haven't changed one damn bit and I wish people wouldn't support Square. They'll be right back to their shenanigans again in no time, hell, they may even pull a switcheroo and censor Rebirth later.

Difference is that they censored her from day one, which is their decision. If they went back and censored her I would be mad.

Like I said in the FF thread, this genuinely seems like Nomura just wanted outfit consistency in both games. I would not put it past him to say "Why would Cloud remember her boobs then, but not now?"
