People jumped the gun a bit or EU had a different embargo, but here's my take on the game.

yeah i think EU has earlier embargo time than NA
Do IT! I have this coming in Friday and SO5 next week. It's going to be a good next couple of months for me.

My hype is rising. This was a sort of want but I will probably not bother game at one point. I am really excited now.

I've noticed that no one really mentions the content edits in any of the reviews I've read so far. Was there any directive not to talk about it? It seems weird because so much online discussion has been focused on it for reviews not to even in passing assuage or acknowledge it.

Wow, reviews are great! Honestly surprised, didn't expect this game to fair well critically over here (I'm pretty excited for it either way).
Ok you convinced me everyone, time to dust off the Wii U after I rage quit XBCX
Oh that's easy just by the actually good game!
Although I hope they're both good!

Likely because most of the english reviewers did not play the game in Japanese.
You'll see those impressions within the next couple days from myself and from others from the import OT who pick up the english release.
If there is a review that compares the English and Japanese one, I'll let you know but in the mean time it's just the handful who have already played it and were not given a copy to review to make comparisons.
Judging from the reviews so far, I don't think the changes were large enough or substantial enough to detract from the game or make the game any worse, but I'll give a more in-depth comparison later when the OT is up and I have my hands on the game if you are willing to wait.
The best thing you can maybe do is compare the Japanese reviews to the English ones to see how different or similar they are in how they received the game.
Best game on WiiU confirmed
Legitimately shocked at Polygon's score lol.
I canceled the LE edition of the game since it was kinda not doing it for me and I'm still really on the fence on the game itself, but I'll probably grab the regular edition off Amazon when I get paid to get the 20% off and secure a physical copy just in case. This seems like a game that is going to be hard to find at a point for sure.

Wait you're Mike Williams from the Axe of the Blood God podcast?
Cool review!
I am indeed!
I did not play the game in Japanese. I got the NA version of the game and reviewed it.
I'd expect someone will do a hard comparison at some point, but none of the changes have drastically altered the story from what I have seen. But again, that's up to someone who's played both.
EDIT: I realize this didn't quite answer your question. No, there's no review stipulations here. In fact, there's no content guidelines at all, which is rather odd, because many games say "Don't spoil stuff past X." #FE? None of that. "All content may be discussed." Any reviewer could spoil the game if they felt like it.
That explains it.
EU embargo was more than 2 hours ago.
Wat
No.
I'm not going to start arguing over this, just give customers an option of subtitles/dubs and let us choose how we want to play.
... Huh. Well that's unexpected

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
The game's out later this week, is someone making a OT for the NA release?

Well fair enough. Time to preload, I suppose.
I read the whole thing, nice review
and the writer is an Atelier fan so that makes their opinion even more legit

OTs should be allowed then review embargoes have ended. >.>
I am, since I'm reusing assets from the import OT. I already have it ready to post and the street date's been open with a few people enough to discuss the game.
I'll post it later tonight, or whenever you let me open the floodgates.

Great scores, I'm hyped.
Really disappointed that my copy from Amazon suddenly says arriving Tuesday instead of Friday.

Considering you also get 20% of the $20 extra limited edition cost you would be paying only $16 more.
It comes with $10 of DLC so you're basically paying $6 for the rest of the stuff.

OK... I need to grab this game now.
From what I could find on the DLC contents in JP I wasn't really interested in the DLC, especially since the US LE isn't going to include one DLC they're cutting for the west. I honestly still don't even know that I want the game itself, but I'm willing to drop ~$48 on Amazon for a physical copy of the standard edition just in case basically.
Read a few of the lower reviews, they mostly seem to be "its not the FE X SMT we wanted".
Seems abit unfair to have this as a main criticism when Nintendo nor Atlus ever sold it as being so. All we ever got was an announcement trailer that had slides from Awakening and SMTIV.
In anycase I was already sold on the import impressions, hoping this gets delivered early so I can make up my own mind on it.

Not surprised. It's a good game, and a lot of the things people had issues with during the reveal (OMG IT'S ALL ABOUT IDOLS UGH) were entirely overblown. Playing it makes that very clear.
