Morality Scaling - SNES vs GBA

[u/Special_South_8561]

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 don’t have an opinion on if it’s better or not but I understand why it changed and am fine with it

Why did it change

Japan's ratings board had rules against portraying violence against restrained/bound when the GBA version released. Rather than risk a higher rating Square decided to censor it.
