  • Btw its just strange when there was copyright issues that they werent't obligated to change apperance of those ninjas in all their versions at the same time, they changed chinese version, now international version and in probably one year or later they gonna change it in polish version and others.

Since there are multiple servers with multiple start dates, it is possible. Of course we don't know the agreement with Tencent and Bandai to use the designs so anything is possible and it seems like the designs will stop based on how far a server will get at the time China was when they had to change the designs.

  • Thats a shame im glad i didnt buy dreamworld hinata she looks so crappy now. copyright issues * they always ruin the fun. I wonder why they decided to copyright it. not like its hurting anyone. the new looks dont look good at all they ruined the fun of them :(

Because Oasis/Tencent does not own the designs...


You copyright stuff so people don't steal your artwork unless you have to get sue them or don't care about people making money off of your work. Companies that want to use it (Tencent) makes an arrangement so that the company that owns the copyright can get money from it.

  • Indeed, and as they are actually different versions of those ninja in game they have to have some kind of source material to base off of instead of just going and making original designs for those characters (would have been much more appreciated). New cloak forms are from one of the movies that is covered in their copyright agreement, I believe, and sasuke suit is from the card game.

Those cloaks also can be from the land of snow arc (during the five kage summit) from the main series since they used shikamaru's chunnin spite, it would make they had to used designs from the main series only if those designs' rights expired.

  • "It is like you've bought a gum and chewed it and you wanna return it because you didn't want the flavor .."

    That was an unfortunate comparison, if you buy a gum that is supposed to taste like strawberry but when you chew it actually taste like ear wax you have a reason to return it.


    Don't misunderstand though I don't want a refund or anything I"m just saying that some people in game will make a scene.


    I'd be happy if they reverted to the previous design, dunno how copyright works but if they have the license to use the character created by kishimoto for the anime/manga "naruto" shouldn't it apply to all versions?

You did say "By the way it would be a good solution for those complaining if they could get back whatever they spent ." - therefore, people might think you want Oasis to provide compensation for the change of the designs.


The right to use copyrighted material is based on the duration of the agreement. Tencent, the one who developed Naruto Online, probably decided not to renew the license for those designs, which means they had to change the designs to ones based from the main series. Since multiple servers have different start dates and with both germany and our server having the changes after the 5.0 update, there might be a clause in the agreement which affects all of the other servers and when it changes based on the progress of the server.

  • i prefer suit sasuke over playboy sasuke tho and the dreamworldhinata+ sailorsakura design changes aren't even that bad and make more sense being cloaked as they correlate more to the actual Naruto world rather than a fan fictional character

Pretty much. The main series has a different license compared to designs from video games (I'm talking about the Ninja storm series) and movies. Usually the main series will have a longer term compared to other designs.


Due to this, Tencent is likely not going to make an agreement with Bandai if a change the designs just because a few don't like it. There's little incentive on their part to do so. Any changes that do happen will effect the China server first and players that watch youtube will end up telling people here who don't know about China.
