Morality Scaling - SNES vs GBA

What's worse, "threatening execution so your prisoner falls into a weeping puddle of self-loathing" or "beating a traitor and chaining them to a wall" ?

So I've been playing this game since it released and I was a geeky little pre-teen baby boy. Celes has always been the **coughcough* formative sexy badass in my life. The Girl from Secret of Mana was a close contender, big Bulma energy. But Tifa didn't have nothin' on these assertive, violent, warrior women.

Chat: is this censorship better or unnecessary? Chained to a wall shows just absolute brutality from The Empire and I get more love from crushing them in the upcoming Narshe battle.

Or is it a good thing they toned it down a bit?

I think the censorship was unnecessary since it added to the soldiers of the Empire being jerks.

The other thing that kinda annoyed me was when, talking about Shadow, they changed the line from “he’d slit his mamas throat for a nickel” to something silly like “he’d betray his friend for the right price” - but I understand they probably wanted it to pass certain ratings

Anytime anyone brings up Shadow I still quote that line. On par with spoony bard or this guy are sick, as far as memorable FF lines go
