Fans have patched Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

Nintendo went out of their way and the extra mile to censor Tokyo Mirage Sessions, declaring a war on skin, pelvic bones, suggestive dialogue, art books, and more. It was groundbreaking in all the wrong ways, and it pissed a lot of fans off.

We're only a few days post-release, and fans have already undone all of Nintendo's hard work and undermined all that extra money they spent making the extensive changes. Here's a quick run down, straight from the horse's mouth:

Q: What exactly change this?
A: A complete list of the changes to the dialog can be found here. But here is a quick list:
– Reverted costumes back to Bikini's, also changing the menu icons back and their original names and descriptions.
– Completely redid Chapter 2 and a few other small files to return references to Gravure Modelling, this also uses the original voice files.
– Fixed any map changes relating to pictures in dungeons that were changed.
– Swapped the English files out for Japanese versions for retranslated files.
– Healing points no longer come in envelopes.
– Changed Profiles to reflect the character's real ages and change back references to Gravure Modeling.
– Reverted any censored prerendered Cutscene files.

The patch only works with the digital version currently, and the Hot Springs DLC can't be added since Nintendo has refused to bring it West, but anti-censorship supporting fans can chalk this up as a win. Just follow the above link for details and instructions how to fix your game, but please be aware that this is not an official patch, and you're assuming any risk yourself.

If you're a total Japanophile and somehow haven't seen Tokyo Mirage Sessions, check out the super J-Pop trailer below:
