Localized versions of Fire Emblem Fates will not include controversial support conversation

GN Version 5.0

Remember back when Fire Emblem Fates came out in Japan? There was a bit of controversy surrounding one of the support conversations. It was tied to a situation that involved the drugging of a lesbian character to make them interested in men. Rather than attempt a localization that remedies any issues, Nintendo has decided to yank the conversation altogether.

Coming from a Nintendo rep...

“In the version of the game that ships in the U.S. and Europe, there is no expression which might be considered as gay conversion or drugging that occurs between characters.”
