Square Enix Censoring Bravely Default For Western Localization

The localized version of Square Enix's upcoming 3DS JRPG Bravely Default will be censored to better suit a western audience. The ages of certain characters have been raised from 15 to 18 and some of the cast will sport outfits that cover up a bit more skin.

Check out the comparison shots between the original and censored character models below.

Bravely Default launches on February 7th, exclusively for 3DS.
