Final Fantasy VII Remake

I briefly talked about this here, but let me show more evidence of the censorship in Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Square Enix decided that Tifa's breasts were now offensive, and four (4!) years after FF7 Remake’s release, they patched a censored version of her chest into the game.That’s how much they hate women and their anatomy!
Of course, I’m joking - we all know they actually hate men looking at attractive women, even fictional ones.

And this is on top of the changes in the Honey Bee Inn section, where it lost almost all its humor and riffed on gay/queer tropes.
Co-Director Motomu Toriyama gave an interview in the official Square Enix website saying how much he and his team took "modern sensibilities" into consideration.
Given how famous the cross-dressing was in the original FINAL FANTASY VII, we were aware that people would have high expectations for the remake. We knew we had to do it in a way that both lived up to those expectations, but took modern sensibilities into consideration.
For example, fans these days expect stories and dialogue in games to go beyond stereotypical depictions of gender. Through Andrea’s lines and the lyrics of the backing track, Stand Up, we tried to build in a positive and supportive message for Cloud during his cross-dressing scene.
I think we all know what that means by this point.
