Yes, they're bringing over SE, which will be available through Gamestop (link) and Amazon (umm, when they feel like it). Everything is out on June 24 in NA and PAL.
There is. Its already up at gamestop. Will be up at amazon eventually. Those are the only 2 retailers offering the SE.
Release date is June 24, 2016
Edit: curse you ridley dog!
But isn't one the first dungeons in the game all about gravure idols? People were talking about how there was nothing egregious enough for Nintendo to change in #FE (which I always refuted), but here we are. Wonder how that kind of stuff will be managed.
Done a pretty great job of selling it to me.

That would be really foolish since this game already has an incredibly limited appeal on the conceptual level.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
It's pretty silly and something almost unique to Nintendo-published games. Game was almost certainly destined for a T no matter what.
Didn't Fatal Frame 5 get into that subject? I didn't play it so I'm not sure of the details, but there is recent precedent. As we have seen in recent cases, it isn't necessarily just about what is shown/not shown but the subtext as well.
It's a kingdom of fashion, I fully expect silly and more modern languages as it's a sign of the times and fashion is constantly evolving into something weird regardless of era. It's trendsetting.
EDIT: Think of that kingdom like Italy and the renaissance. A cultural movement in the late medieval era and the beginning of the early modern age.
I never thought about it until now, but they really messed up by not just calling the game Fire Emblem: Tokyo Mirage Sessions. A lot of people probably won't even know it's a Fire Emblem game. I don't know if that matters a lot, the game probably won't sell well either way, but a lot of casual fans won't even know this is a Fire Emblem spinoff/collab at all.
Gotta say I'm curious to the lengths they will go to sell such a niche game at a T rating and to preserve their image as a publisher.
I will be rather shocked if they perform whole makeovers in a 4kids style.

Yes, but Fatal Frame was rated M.
I think they can't simply slap "Fire Emblem" on the name because, though there are a lot of references to it, it's its own thing for the same reason it also can't really be called an SMT game. Could be misleading to people expecting a console FE title.
And still edited, so there's precedence for these types of changes not just being changed due to requirements and regulations.

So what content removal can we expect in this? Behind spoilers if it's something that requires that.

Currently it appears that the Hot springs DLC will not be making it here. That's the big removal.
Meanwhile Panties might become spats and a character might be aged up. This is all from the 4chan leaks BTW.
Edit: oh yeah and Tsubasa got a shirt to hide her cleavage.
For Violence and Blood, nothing related to gravure:
http://www.esrb.org/ratings/Synopsi...5836&Title=Fatal+Frame:+Maiden+of+Black+Water
The edits are an image thing, not a (NA anyway) ESRB thing.
Yeah, if they are citing that reason, it isn't for NA regulations.
Okay, well TMS #FE also has "Suggestive Themes." It's pointless to compare both games in regards to "gravure content" if they don't cover the same kind of thing at all; Fatal Frame's situation obviously doesn't preclude that content from being modified or outright removed in #FE.
It's almost already a certainty that they've removed the Hotsprings DLC. Gravure idol content wouldn't be far away from that kind of stuff.
So basically, nothing of importance.

I'd say the removal of the Hot springs is a pretty big deal, if only because of the precedent it sets. Now we'll have to worry about downloadable content not making it over here due to the content it may have.
Because it's cringeworthy, part of the job of a localization team is to localize a product for the local audience.
And there's a lot more. It's bad
I'll be honest, reading those may be part of the reason that this is the only Zelda game I haven't bought or rented since OoT... And I'm terrified for Zelda UNX.

Hot springs not important?
Seriously. I might be okay with spats though....
I am also fine with spats :3
Main Zelda set in medieval Hyrule: Normal and what you come to expect with dialogue and no memes. Still good jokes, slapstic and puns though like every Zelda in existence.
Side game with a focus on fashion and trendsetting: Silly, goofy, dialogue to match. Language more modern in a type of renaissance period where the future of art, science etc., and the modern age starts
To be honest, I can't believe I have to spell this stuff out and that no one can even think about medieval times or what comes after or where it started. I don't think will see that kingdom again so your precious Zelda is safe.

I am obviously missing something here because I googled Spats and all I got were a shoe fashion item that covers the ankle area of the shoe...
Nintendo changed Panties into that?

That's not the change the 4chan post is referring to. Kiria's outfit had already been changed in the Japanese version of the game prior to #FE's release.
Edit: Oh woops, nevermind that, I thought you were talking about something completely different.
"Bike shorts"
They're a type of tight shorts/leggings http://first4legwear.com/images/380_4.jpg
Also what Muteki said. Bike shorts.

Ah ok. Kind of a bummer but whatever.

Nope. It was Persona 4 Arena and it was the main reason why it was region-locked.
Bad photoshop
What do you mean? The localized version of Persona 4 Arena had English voices.
And Persona 4 Arena wasn't developed by Atlus either.

The very first post said this:
I guess I should've quoted that instead, but I was arguing about the opposite: Atlus games released in NA with Japanese voice acting.
Has this been known? just checked out the new English version trailer and saw this change.

As discussed in this thread already, that was a change made in the Japanese version of the game before it was released in December 2015. Not one of the changes made for the localized game.
ah, well to be honest I like the change better lol
