Per Japanese Nintendo
Nintendo have issued an apology for the Japanese version of Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE Encore (Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE) on Nintendo Switch being altered and not relaying this information earlier. People who have pre-purchased the title on the Nintendo eShop or My Nintendo Store will be able to cancel their order for a full refund.
The Japanese version of Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE Encore (Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE) on Nintendo Switch will be a universal release that adds new elements based on the Western Wii U game and thus, not untouched, according to a message added to the official webpage. The original Wii U release saw more risqué content on the domestic Japanese version including several bikini-clad female characters. Many thanks to both Naruki and JPUncut.
We hereby apologise to customers for the mistake and for not delivering enough information regarding the contents of prior notification for Genei Ibun Roku #FE Encore, the software for Nintendo Switch scheduled for release on 17 January 2020.
This title adds new feature into Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (released in 2016), the Western version of Genei Ibun Roku #FE, the software for Wii U that was released in 2015. We are proceeding with the development with a worldwide common specification and aiming for a worldwide simultaneous release (You can enjoy Japanese language voices in the game).
However despite that, on the promotional activities for Genei Ibun Roku #FE Encore, we did not inform from the beginning that this title would be based on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. And also in the official home page, we mistakenly posted game screenshots from the Wii U domestic version of Genei Ibun Roku #FE that wouldn't have been included in this title, so the situation caused a misunderstanding to our customers regarding the content of this title.
So on 10 October 2019, we performed replacements of game screenshots in the home page. And on the 17th we posted that this title would be based on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. But we acknowledge that we did not deliver enough information to our customers from the beginning.
Concerning this, for all customers who have purchased / pre-ordered Genei Ibun Roku #FE Encore through Nintendo eShop or My Nintendo Store, and want to request a cancellation caused by this matter, we will provide the procedures in this page at a later date.
-
The first is an age bump for some of the characters - Tsubasa, Itsuki and Touma - taking them up from 17 to 18 years of age. There are also changes to costumes, with some of the female characters wearing less revealing clothing.
-
Elsewhere, a dungeon which features portraits of female characters in bikinis has been altered - the characters are now fully-clothed.
-
Finally, the Hot Springs DLC - which allows characters to dress up in swimwear - will not be released in the west.
