Mentioning the word censor every time the process of localizing Japanese games to the west often raises a big question mark, especially if the adapted content ends up not feeling significant. But for whatever reason, this often happens and grows into a scourge for non-Japanese gamers who want content that feels more authentic. For gamers who are waiting for Blue Protocol from Bandai Namco Online whose western version will be handled by Amazon Games, this is what happened. The content adaptation for this western version has finally been confirmed.
The latest interview on the Blue Protocol DB site with the western version of Franchise Lead from Amazon Games – Mike Zadorojny reveals clearer information about content adjustments that will be made compared to the Japanese version, aka “censorship”. Zadorojny himself said that this adjustment was made by Amazon Games to ensure that Blue Protocol maintains a “T” rating, aka Teen, which they consider to be the most potential market for MMORPG games with a strong anime flavour.
Thanks to BPDP asking the necessary question, we now have confirmation of more censorship in #BlueProtocol. The western version has removed jiggle from character creation, and the S body type option has been removed entirely. Amazon did not disclose the latter change. pic.twitter.com/38lId1HUh7

There are at least three major adjustments made by this western version of Blue Protocol. First, the removal of the “Jiggle Physics” button in the Character Creation menu which, if pressed, will make your entire character sway. That’s right, in the Japanese version, a button is placed just below the female character’s bust size slider to check what breast physics should be. Second? They will also eliminate the body type “S” which allows gamers to mix characters that appear like small children. Third? They also made the clothes of the children’s characters in the world more closed than the Japanese version.
As could be predicted, this step certainly attracted the attention of many gamers who had been waiting for Blue Protocol with criticism dominated as the main response. What do you think of this one situation?
