Nier: Automata producer Yosuke Saito and director Yoko Taro have both come out to deny a rumor about publisher Square Enix's restrictions over the game's character designs.
A mistranslated English subtitle during a stream on Tuesday sparked news stories and social media posts suggesting that Nier: Automata had to adhere to Western standards to avoid being banned in countries outside Japan. The cause for the error was a double negative in Saito's comment, which Japanese gaming site Automaton says is "tricky to translate, even for an advanced Japanese speaker."
