As of late, a rather fierce debate among gamers about censorship in gaming, especially outfits of female characters, has been going on. That’s why DualShockers asked Tales of producer Yasuhiro Fukaya if Velvet’s outfit in Tales of Berseria will get changed for Western release. It turns out that it will not, as Fukaya stated that Western Tales of fans want the same experience as Japanese Tales of fans. He also said that her female designer, Mutsumi Inomata, took great care to create an outfit that matched the character and setting.

In other Tales of Berseria news, at a press event Fukaya said that the main story will take about 50 hours to complete, and if you’re going for full completion, the whole game could even take up to 80 hours, so when it arrives here next year, we’ll get to enjoy it for quite a long time!

“I promise. Velvet’s costume will surely be the same in the western version. The design of that costume is created by Mutsumi Inomata, and she created that costume based on the character’s concept and setting, and on the storyline. “I believe that those who support the Tales Of series like to have exactly the same content as the Japanese version. We believe it’s ideal and the best option to bring exactly the same game experience and design to the western countries. I promise that Velvet is still Velvet in the western version.” — Yasuhiro Fukaya
