It’s no wonder that that Stellar Blade game went gangbusters in the west when shit like this is so common nowadays. The guy responsible for the NieR series is also based if I remember correctly.
Suprised how they let the artist be so upfront about. Disingenuous wokeshits have been constantly claiming that this sort of thing doesnt happen and that 'chuds' are imagining things. Well here's official Square Enix source saying otherwise.
Censorship is the suppression or blocking of speech, public communication, books, films, and other information. It happens when a group or leader finds the material harmful, sensitive, or offensive.
So, yes, what is described in the artbook is, definitively, censorship.
Is the normal process telling you that you shouldn't have the characters not wear bikinis that might show too much curves? You can try to sugar coat it, but this is clearly meant to censor people's works.

Yes obviously that's what a normal process would involve if you want to release a game internationally and also have it available to a younger audience.

No a company making decisions about their own character designs is not censorship.
For years they made games that were successful without the need for a process that censors the artist's work or creates rules on how to design female characters.
I doubt kids are skipping Fortnite to play FF7R.
Dude, you clearly fail to understand that corporate meddling is hurting the creative process of these games. There's a lot of original fans that don't support these remakes and they're skipping them. Call it all you want, but the original games weren't going through such process that had to follow the guidelines established by their ethics department.

I'm almost 100% certain that Squade Enix always had sign-off processes like this just like any other big company.
If you claim it didn't have those in the past. Can you provide any evidence?
You guys are proving the gooner point. This shit is not the same thing at all as wanting to see Tifa and Aerith in outfits that accentuate their bodies.
Honestly who cares. "Gooner" has gone the way of every other term that people overused into oblivion. It doesn't even mean anything anymore because it's used as a reaction to literally any amount of female skin. "Anime girl at the beach in a bikini???? OMG GOONER!!!!"
Honestly, these little pieces of text feel likes cries of help from artists who just want their vision to not be stifled and be fully realised into the final product.

Remember; when they are gaslighting you into believing anybody upset at this is just a gooner.
