Is the gate gone?
The in-game English text has completely changed to kanji, and elements like horseshoes hinting at horse racing or animal-related features have been removed.
I think it might have been rejected because it was overall too different and had a strong suggestion of horse racing (gambling) elements.
>>2I don’t know if it’s still ongoing, but there was a time when there were regulations on things like devil skeleton beast girls, so that might be the reason.
>>2Is this Japan during wartime?
>>2Is it an enemy language…?
>>2This area was similar in other games as well.
In other Chinese mobile games I’m playing, there have been some troubles going on back in the home country.
>>2Chinese games are regulated by law to not use English or Japanese, and to not incorporate foreign elements.
I wonder if they switched everything around there.
>>121Yeah…
In Japan, horse racing is relatively clean, but in China, gambling, drugs, and prostitution are basically extremely strict.
Wow.
Too surreal…
Couldn’t you at least draw a starting line or something?
>>5Just having this makes a difference, doesn’t it…?
>>6Actually, I fell for this too.
>>6Somehow, when I compare them, the Chinese version starts to look more decent…
>>24In the atmosphere of Uma Musume, simple breast pockets don’t fit well, do they?
>>30Even though the official is most focused on bust enhancement and shaking, they’re strict about direct eroticism…
>>6It looks more like a collage when the breasts are exaggerated.
>>6When compared like this, Japan is vulgar!
>>6The breast pouch looks so vulgar that the Chinese version seems more decent.
In running competitions, there are no breasts.
Well, I suppose it’s quite surreal that those who take on human forms go out of their way to use the gate to start.
A localization that can be completed just by subtraction…
The colorful racing outfits coming out of the black gate are quite an important element, and you realize that when they are gone…
It’s the sports festival!
The gate is no good…
If the gate is gone, won’t there be inconsistencies in the dialogue and text?
Do you think horses are going to become popular overseas?
>>14Well, it may not be as possible as in Japan, but it’s better to do it than not to do it.
Reusing resources here can generate money.
There is no gate, but there is no dirt either.
Beast Girl Grand Sports Festival!
The CN version was revived in May (only URA existed), and the EN version started in June.
Worldwide, we might be four and a half years late, but it seems we’ll be participating in Uma Musume in a unified way.
Taiwan and South Korea already exist.
>>17Since CN is operated by bilibili and EN is operated by Cygames, I think they have their own unique paths.
Is horse racing being made to not exist?
The poker game on Steam had gambling elements and was rated 18+ in some countries.
What will happen to the gate difficulty skills?
It’s a debuff skill, so it’s not a problem if it disappears.
Both of them look surreal in the thread image.
It’s just that I’m used to it, but having a gate is already surreal to begin with.
Is it strictly regulated for gambling even though it’s the home of Mahjong?
The gate is too wide!
Maybe the gambling insinuating the use of women is intense.
If you say it’s horse racing-themed, we won’t be able to launch the service.
>>31Since then, we haven’t been able to distribute it on the store or release any updates.
I have finally resumed recently.
>>31So, does that mean being a man is good…??
What will happen to the gacha presentation if the gate is no good?
>>32Aren’t you holding a hot plate?
>>41I miss the muscular guys…
Even with all these regulations, it’s still only able to appeal to one-tenth of the audience, yet it generates sales equivalent to Japan.
Population is amazing, isn’t it?
With this, Chinese people would definitely not want to do a Chinese version.
I wonder if I can watch the anime.
So what was Aldan, then?
>>38I never thought that we wouldn’t be able to distribute it on the store, especially since it’s still before the release.
It seems like the gacha animation has changed too.
Without the gate, it might feel a bit cute, like a regular sports day.
Chinese people who know the Japanese version probably won’t want to do this.
Let’s boldly put on a sexy track and field uniform!
What a pointless regulation.
I don’t understand why they are implementing regulations when they are planning a 5-year plan for horse racing in China and are already conducting experimental horse racing in places like Wuhan.
If you are aiming for internationalization, regulating horse racing would rather be a bad move.
>>48Umamusume doesn’t clearly say it’s about horse racing, but it’s done in a vague way that it’s based on horse racing. Isn’t that what was wrong?
I wonder if it makes sense to continue when I’ve already gone this far and am on the verge of death.
>>49Chinese money is amazing, you know…
>>49I wasn’t struggling at all before the mysterious maintenance started!
I actually feel that the chest is healthier in China.
I don’t understand why horseshoes are bad.
There’s no gambling element in horseshoes.
Don’t think that human reasoning applies to the Chinese authorities.
Huh? Then how does the gacha feel?
It feels more like a footrace now…
If it ensures fairness properly, I would be grateful for the excitement of Chinese horse racing.
>>54Bribery is common, so I don’t think it’s possible.
Golshi’s breasts…
Aren’t there plenty of continent games filled with big breasts?
>>57Things like that tend to have a correspondingly high rating.
>>57A little while ago, Poo suddenly got really angry and said that provocative things are prohibited! Prohibited! So there’s nothing we can do about that.
When I get measured against others, I’m suddenly brought back to reality.
I’m not saying that regulations are a good thing, but…
The design of the modified item is quite good.
The fact that the female motif is based on horse racing is amazing.
The feminists over there move the country.
Wow, that’s quite tough.
I thought it was a fake, but it’s the real deal.
It didn’t work in the upper right.
>>67Yayoi-chan, the school currency is probably not very good…
There are five model levels, but due to the big breast regulation, everyone might be downgraded by one level.
Please provide a flat model with no shadows on the chest.
It’s a clear China risk.
That’s tough.
It’s not selling enough to be considered an erotic game.
They impose strict regulations and pressure because they do not want to spread content from other countries that is difficult to manage under Chinese leadership when there are issues involving gambling elements or simple problems.
Nintendo’s withdrawal from China is also due to this.
Suzuka-san… has been nerfed so much…
Is the horseshoe that bad?
Isn’t it pointless to update after losing customers?
It’s now all set, ready, go!
Overseas felt like it was all over the place, like “here you go.”
>>79Isn’t that about a hurdle race?
Even if it’s regulated like in Russia, it’s a nation where people enjoy breaking the law, isn’t it?
The valley is not allowed, but the thighs are acceptable.
I believe Japanese horses are also not allowed, aren’t they?
>>82That’s fine by itself.
Nothing has changed, not even the name.
It’s a shitty system, but the breast nerf on the CG model is kind of interesting.
Well, it’s no surprise that the people from the continent will do the Japanese version and it will be full of cheaters.
What kind of creatures would these kids become if we eliminated the horse element…?
>>87If horse racing is no good, then maybe having a horse-ear girl is not a problem?
Let’s all have a race.
>>92Yeah… horses love running, don’t they…
If you’re going to change it this much, why not just stick with the original Uma Musume?
It’s the one where stars appear when you collide.
It seems that Uma Musume is doing pretty well in South Korea.
>>90There were only about 500 people watching the anniversary broadcast over there…
>>105Oh no!
>>105There are more than I thought…
>>169This only brings up information that I know from the Japanese version.
I think this is also acceptable for clothing after regulation and for my father.
We will do it directly under EN.
Even in games made in China, the Japanese versions tend to be more outrageous, so I strongly feel that it’s tough over there.
It just feels bad that the Chinese version is dead for the global version, so they just forcefully revived it, right?
>>97Well, that aspect seems quite large.
I’m not going to play a game that’s more than 4 years old now.
There are horse girls in Arknights!!
>>100I had the old man do it on the horse too!
Kemonomimi elements are not a bad thing.
Is it that gambling is bad, or that personification is bad?
The Hong Kong version must be something different.
Has it really been two years since it stopped…?
As for URA’s direction, we do not engage in any gambling, so that is correct.
It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say it, but the fact that there are domestic content that is much more erotic than Uma Musume, despite some regulations, suggests a lot of things.
Horseshoes don’t know what damage is…
>>108There are regulations on personification elements.
It was a response to using a gambling motif without explicitly stating it as gambling.
Daughter! Pretty!
Wasn’t there horse racing in China too?
>>112Located in Hong Kong
It’s kind of like a remnant of British rule, so it’s treated as a sort of extraterritoriality.
Before long, the horse ears and tail will disappear as well.
It’s not voices celebrating Weibo’s revival, but rather people just asking for their money back, which is rather profound.
>>114Why a refund?
>>117If the updates stop and it goes into a dormant state in less than a year, wouldn’t an ordinary person get angry?
They said they were postponing the service termination because they didn’t want to issue refunds.
>>129Oh, I see.
I thought it would be a no-questions-asked refund just from the way that update was handled.
My perception was naive.
>>149Unconditional refunds are applicable if the service ends within a certain period.
Recently, Drive Nine stopped updating, but if they said they would continue the service until the obligation to refund disappears, it would cause a big uproar, and they’d end up apologizing and refunding anyway.
>>166Well, it’s understandable to want a refund… Even if it restarts now, the people who initially invested money probably won’t come back.
What horse race was Aldan’s son working hard at?
It’s a game that features people like Ardan, who was called the SS of China, and it’s merciless!
I understand about reducing the chest, but what about the thighs…
>>119It must be necessary for running.
By the way, the Steam version is coming out, right?
Even if there are Chinese people starting now, they’ll go that way.
I thought it was fine since they have horse racing in Hong Kong, but I guess it’s banned outside of Hong Kong, so if it’s publicly available across the entire China, it’s a no-go.
>>122The remnants of “one country, two systems” are still quite prominent.
To put it another way, how are they reconciling the fact that there are big casinos in Macau?
>>124Macau is a special administrative region, so it’s a bit different.
What happened to the horse racing in Wuhan?
Did it go out of business due to COVID?
>>128It seems like they’re doing it.
It was sluggish, but it seems that after COVID, they’ve started aiming for international standards and have become more energized.
>>138Rather, had you not aimed for that until now…?
Do you really want to expand in China to that extent?
>>130Unlike other countries, the fact that it’s not directly operated shows a lack of motivation, doesn’t it?
>>134It’s difficult for foreign companies to operate directly in China.
>>134It’s impossible to operate directly in China, right?
>>130Population is power.
If it becomes a hit in China, it will be huge.
>>130If you hit it, it will be huge!
I fell off the horse, but
Is there a benefit to releasing it in China even going that far?
It’s probably because it’s there.
I feel like the horseshoe is more of a flavor element even in its original form.
Palmer runs with a heavy foot.
Is it fine as a one-piece shoe?
Even before the updates stopped, the border for Class 6 was around 700 people, so there’s no possibility of a major turnaround from here, and I don’t understand what the purpose is, which is scary.
While horse racing still continues in Hong Kong, for some reason, the Chinese mainland is thoroughly suppressing it.
>>135Well, gambling and drugs are tough in that country.
>>135Given that, they’ve established a new training center and have been attracting Hong Kong horses, leading to results, so I really don’t understand…
It seems like I got stronger because I trained here, like in caren rising and stuff.
>>135It seems like there’s an atmosphere that wants to establish itself as a sport or entertainment.
It’s established even in cultural spheres where gambling is absolutely forbidden, like in UAE and Saudi Arabia.
I think there’s no way around it unless I invest as much money as an oil magnate since I don’t have any betting income.
This is an image of a horseshoe and a horseshoe hammer.
The market may be large, but I don’t like the risk of it being deemed unacceptable by the government at any time…
>>141So it’s probably an energy-saving change like in the image…
It seems that the gacha will be immediately good once you open the door.
Chinese people spend money on social games like crazy.
Horse racing is gambling and it’s bad.
Well, Cygames must have worked hard to get it restarted by kissing the Communist Party’s ass.
It may seem foolish with all this expression regulation up to this point.
It seems that pigeon racing is popular over there.
>>148Pigeon girl…
>>160It’s a pigeon chest…
This time it’s not so much about Cygames, but more like Bilibili, which holds the rights, wanted to do something about it before the global version comes out and everything flows over there, right?
>>150It’s already flowing into the Japanese version, so it’s impossible now.
>>162No… that’s why if the STEAM version comes out, even if it doesn’t support the language, and players can play it in China, then Bilibili, which holds the rights, would suffer losses, right?
So I hurriedly made the corrections and sent it out, but I think this is how it turned out.
>>183A game that hadn’t been updated in over a year and didn’t even respond to the anniversary event suddenly rushed to respond—it’s like a joke, isn’t it?
>>189So since they released this Chinese version in such a gag-like state, isn’t that exactly how it is…?
They probably want you to do your best because there’s a possibility that if they can’t make money with this reopening, they might shut down the Chinese version.
Cygames should just focus on the domestic market since their international expansions have all failed.
It’s like with Aime Mas.
>>154Hoyoverse has already become common knowledge among overseas otakus, so there’s no chance of winning anymore…
We have no choice but to ravage the Japanese market and endure.
Regarding horse racing, the authorities are also motivated, like strengthening training facilities.
I wonder if a Japanese horse racing game would become popular in other countries.
>>158I guess it’s something like why games based on the Three Kingdoms are popular outside of China…
Where did Golshi stand up?
By the way, China personification is a no-go.
Why?
If all the horse racing elements are removed, the story will become strange, but I wonder how that will turn out.
Isn’t she a human girl?!
Did Cygames also bow down to Jinping?
The taboo words in the Chinese version can be roughly inferred.
>>172It would especially be bad when it comes to Hong Kong…
>>174It’s Taiwan, right?
>>179Taiwan doesn’t have horse racing, right?
It seems that quietly fixing the support cards is the most difficult task.
You just need to tweak the model’s numerical values.
I truly think it was good to be in Japan.
I can’t believe that the Chinese Communist Party would engage in something as costly as horse racing without expecting anything in return.
To sell abroad, I have to flatter them in a more vulgar way.
A Uma Musume with half-hearted sports spirit elements can’t compete.
It seems like there’s someone working hard by themselves…
Isn’t Taiwan’s horse racing culture less than that of China?
Well, in the English-speaking community, there was already a tense atmosphere and a lot of grumbling even before it started, as it seemed likely to turn out the same way as what happened with the Chinese version.
However, I don’t think everyone will calm down just because of that correction.
>>185The Taiki popup was hiding even around the waist…
>>185I think it was more concerning that people were wary of the operation being Crunchyroll.
>>199Isn’t Crunchyroll an operator? Or rather, I just learned for the first time that they were also operating mobile games.
Is gambling also regulated?
Certainly, the only image that comes to mind for Chinese people gambling is probably mahjong.
Games like Genshin Impact and Azur Lane aren’t as erotic as they are in this country, right?
That’s the motherland over there.
>>187Isn’t it okay to earn money overseas?
I wonder how they are handling the character names.
In the first place, the Japanese version is already filled with Chinese stuff and is full of scammers, isn’t it?
A medal with just a laurel crown and nothing else is somehow interesting.
You can put something inside, you know?
I thought the Chinese version was still in open beta, but is this the official version?
Why are you so sensitive about horseshoes in the first place?
The horseshoe itself has no elements of gambling at all.
>>195If you’re going to file the horseshoes, you should also file the horse’s ears and tail, right…?
>>195Since there are no clear standards, the measures are useless, which is the troublesome aspect of the party’s regulations, isn’t it?
>>203It feels like a kind of self-regulation regarding the soft grasp of this mosaic over here…
>>299I suddenly feel like I can’t laugh at China anymore.
>>310Every country has its own taboos and regulations, which might seem absurd from the perspective of other countries.
