Game Informer reached out to Nintendo for clarification on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE’s western release. The company confirmed that Atlus is handling localization, and said that changes made to the game are “due to varying requirements and regulations in the many different territories Nintendo distributes its products.”

Here’s the full statement:

“Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was localized by Atlus in a way that is consistent with the localization work they do on games they publish. It was a priority to ensure the game feels familiar and appeals to longtime Atlus fans. Any changes made to the in-game content were due to varying requirements and regulations in the many different territories Nintendo distributes its products.”
