Laut 1up.com hat Namco mal wieder ordentlich an dem Spiel herumgeschnibbelt. Ganz toll:

"I reviewed Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra (the absurdly subtitled finale in Monolith Soft's equally absurd space-opera RPG franchise) in the issue of EGM that we just completed (#208), but nobody's going to see that mag for a few weeks. And since any'review-like' comments are still under embargo, I can't really go into my thoughts about the game...but I must say, I'm rather disappointed that Namco Bandai chose to censor several of the game's cut-scenes.

Now, censorship isn't new to the Xenosaga franchise--the first game featured one disturbing scene (involving jailbait Realian MOMO) that was edited for the U.S. release. I'm not entirely sure of exactly what was cut from XS3, but I've confirmed that at least three cut-scenes have had substantial amounts of blood/gore edited out. Yeah, Namco made these cuts in order to get a "Teen" rating from the ESRB, but I still find it all a bit upsetting. Xenosaga was always intended as a mature, complex RPG...and it's discouraging that Namco wouldn't allow the final chapter to come out with a Mature rating.

Maybe one day they'll go back and actually remake this whole monstrosity in the way the team originally intended...."
