Although I also like the censored versions, I would like them to include these uncensored costumes in the next patch

Why not just enable it as a fucking option? If I want to see blood everywhere, that's my choice. These fucking lefty twats are just out to make everyone else miserable.
Edit: got the physical version, going to update as soon as I can and just not update the game anymore after that.

This censorship is for all versions or a specific country ?

The fact they also toned down blood combined with the recent "all regions are uncensored" announcement makes me think they might have did this to please certain countries rating boards, then applied it to all versions. "All versions are uncensored if all versions are censored. " Would be dumb if I was correct on that. Imagine if Capcom applied that logic to Western versions of RE because of the Japanese version of RE.

"Even though the previous outfits were what are on the printed discs, however the final costume Sony... er, I mean, we ... wanted to show Kotaku.... er, I mean, you... is indeed the costume in version 1.0.0.2."

Agree I have the digital deluxe but with bad knees I went to my local gs and just bought a Physical copy any censorship of any kind is bad and only leads to more and bigger censorship.

There are costumes in the Game post patch that are way more revealing than those that are censored, are You all sure that Sony is censoring very specific costumes?
Besides, I like the censored versions too, I hope they add more variants like they did in new Game +.

Looks pretty standard practice in terms of NA censorship: https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Censorship
I am not endorsing this of course, and it is pretty a sad (on-going) situation....but it is hardly surprising.

I told this in another thread: The problem is not that they don't want to see that content, but that they don't want YOU seeing that content, well, all of us actually

You can see legs even further up than this costume in the game:Wow. Is this is saudi arabia version? Why cant we see legs?
It has nothing to do with censorship of legs in Saudi Arabia. It's likely that they designed the outfits and added details as they went along and now they know this won't "convince users" so they're probably internally discussing adding options for older WIP costumes in the game. Would be wise to do this after reviews have settled though, you know how some media types will take that patch.

That part is pissing me off. What's the problem? Bloodborne had you take blood showers every five seconds.

Manufactured outrage. Sadly, no release is safe these days.
My take as well, so I'm choosing to believe Kim on this one. Hopefully they add the other version just so everyone can be happy.You can see legs even further up than this costume in the game:

It seems pretty obvious that the developers made these changes because they wanted to and now the people who didn't want them to bow to pressure are demanding they don't make changes that they want to make.
It's getting depressingly sad all round.

Funniest most stupid thing so far is the reviews: “The over sexualized main character ruins the story, here she is in a bunny outfit, how should we take this seriously in the story?”
Like, the guy put the costume on himself, it’s not like it’s mandatory, it was his choice and then he starts complaining because of his own choice, those wokesters are beyond lost.
Or the one where they show her going down a ladder with the camera placed below her but. Complaining about that shit while you actually have to do effort to get the camera like that. It’s not the default camera when sliding down.
So sick of those people omg… they’re little horndogs and because they are ashamed of their own behavior they have to complain about it to the rest of the world while nothing they show is default in the game itself

Regarding the reduced blood and gore: is it actually reduced or is that just a result of the fight going differently leading to her not being covered as much? Meaning was she already bloody and then finishing the boss drenched her? Or did she get drenched at the end regardless of how bloody/clean she was? I didn't farm the demo like some so I don't know.
Edit: this doesn't really bother me but I am curious if it's a legit change or just ignorance.

Like clockwork. It never ends.
Exactly! So I'm not sure why people are "Fake Mad" at Sony about this.
It's the only thing non-gamers like to do these days. How many of these people complaining actually like playing video games?

I mean there's way more revealing outfits in the game. So I'm going to take what they've said at face value. Relax

yeah, this whole non-stop stellar blade thing just got real old real fast. both shift up & sony seem, to me, to be dealing with this endless bullshit in a pretty reasonable, up-front, straight-forward way. enough, already. play/enjoy the damn game...

The developer tweeted that whole"Uncensored in all regions" thing themselves, they were definitely riding on support being given for not backing down and covering the characters up. Then day one patch covers them up. I think folks are rightly angry at being led on, I would imagine a lot of people pre-ordered specifically to support this anti-censorship message, who've now sorta just been hoodwinked.
TLDR; people are right to be mad
