Overview

Xenoblade Chronicles X Censorship Controversy refers to the changes of the North American and European versions of the Wii U Exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles X by Monolith Soft.

Background

The announcement of 8-4 translating the Western Versions of Xenoblade Chronicles X was received with backlash after their recent history of censoring and editing japanese games. On October 30th, Twitter user @teikage discovered that two outfits were censored of Lynlee, a character in the series in the European version of the game.

Notable Developments

After the discovery of the censored outfits, more content of the game has been found censored or altered by Gamexplain in the video below, referring to the bust slider and again, the character Lynlee, now spelled Lin Lee in the English Version.

Users of the 8chan imageboard /v/ referred to the title as "Censoredblade" and began a campaign to write letters and email Nintendo of America to address the changes to the game and recent translated games as well.
