In a recent interview, Atelier Ryza 2 producer Junzo Hosoi reiterated that the upcoming RPG will not be censored in any market! Gust also shared their stance on censorship as well. Here’s what they had to say:
The GUST team do not see the need to edit a title for another culture or country as something necessarily bad, we do not have any bad or negative opinions particularly on this. Each country has their own unique culture and it really depends on what type of story the director, producer, or creator wants to infuse in the title – sometimes it might not work for every culture.
In the case of Atelier Ryza 2, the title we put together does not need to be censored for any market, and many people around the world can enjoy it as it was intended. Of course, as a player, I understand the desire to play the game as the creator intended.
Fans will be able to play this game with parity across Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC in all markets. Lastly, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy releases on January 26th in the west. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news and updates!
