I am excited for this game.
I am not a fan of NoA or its practices, but I am a fan of Xenoblade and the team at Monolith, and as such I am confident that this will be a fine game in spite of NoA's meddling.
What are your thoughts on Xenoblade "Xenoblade Chronicles X" Chronicles X for Nintendo Wii U?
>>317473972
12 more days, anon. I wish time could go by faster.
>>317473972
I want to play it already.
What shows/vidya have good mecha? I need ideas when designing my own.
Do I need to play the Wii game to understand what's going on?
>>317474651
Nope, the story is unrelated and the combat system is explained in tutorials/ingame manual.
How could I possibly enjoy a game without a lewdly dressed 14 year old character?
Censoring killed this game.
>>317474694
Great. Thanks.
>>317474506
RAISE YOUR FLAG
>>317475273
that doesn't even have a video game yet anon
Am I the only one who thinks Uncontrollable is a way better unique monster theme than You Will Know Our Names?
>>317475408
The next Extreme Vs will release in a month
>>317475468
It's growing on me, but You Will Know Our Names is just so hype and memorable.
>>317473972
>I am confident that this will be a fine game in spite of NoA's meddling.
I have a similar thought.
Literally "You can fuck this shit up as much as you can NoA, but I will enjoy this, you hear me!? Go to hell!"
>>317474372
Got the one where L is talking while the skell running over a guy?
Loved Xenoblade on the wii, and have already preordered this one.
Hopefully the English voice acting is done well, sometimes dubbed games have cringe worthy voices.
Xeno series games have only gotten better and better over time.
Wish Monolith soft would use 2D animated sprites and cutscenes again, though.
>>317476126
From pre-release footage, it seems okay.
Not horrible, but not as good as the first game.
>>317476126
What I heard so far didn't sound bad, honestly.
But it just doesn't have the same charm as the British VAs from Xenoblade.
>inb4 they're supposed to be neo-Americans
>I am not a fan of NoA or its practices
Then buy it used?
>But I want to play it day 1!
Japan has had it for most of the year. You're telling me you're not patient enough to wait at least one more week after launch?
>>317476126

Here's an example (sorry if won't embed, new to posting). They're okay really, I wouldn't praise it but the people screaming about it are probably just throwing tantrums. L's lines have really weird flow and inflection, but it's forgivable as the cutscene implies he learned human language recently and knows little about usage.
At least his lines are rather humorous.
>>317473972
Ruined and butchered in addition to no dual audio. I'll pass.
>>317477140
Buying it used doesn't do what you think it does
>>317477202
I want to explore Elma's asscave.
>>317477212
Care to explain?
>>317477140
>>317477212
Not anon who started this conversation, but I'm buying it new simply because putting the money into NoA's pockets makes them more likely to localize the sequel.
>>317477392
The store still gets money which they can use to order another copy of the game.
Even if they don't, the message you've sent is "the West doesn't want Xenoblade at all".
>>317473972
I need to beat xenoblade chronicles first and I'm only at Machina village. I don't know if I have enough time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6pX65-JN-0
Not sure what this is about, but gamexplain uploaded a new XCX video.
>>317477424
They had almost no choice but to localize this game with the Wii U's library being so bare. Same thing with Fatal Frame being localized.
>putting the money into NoA's pockets makes them more likely to localize the sequel.
I don't know if I want that anymore. I'm hoping that the next nintendo console isn't region locked and that NoE localizes it or something.
>>317477536
shipped =/= sold
>the message you've sent is "the West doesn't want Xenoblade at all".
The message that I've sent is literally an email saying that I chose not to purchase this game due to poor localization. Stop acting like this is a heaven or hell situation and stop being a pussy.
>>317473972
Thoughts?
I dont buy censored trash, as do many other people.
They lost a boatload of sales to appease tumblerinas etc, aka people that dont play, let alone BUY games at the cost of pissing off people that had to BEG 3 YEARS to get this game.
Its begging pizza hut to bring over a pizza being sold in a different country, then years later they finally do, but they've altered and/or removed some of the toppings, and personally spit on every one of them being sold.
>inB4 hurr durr censorship doesnt affect sales.
Maybe you should ask NISA, an expert on these matters, but you'll have to shout, because they cant hear you that well from behind all their unsold copies of Mugen Souls.
>inB4 if was to meet the T rating.
Wrong, you uninformed pricks.
Sword art online Lost Song has a rating of T for teen / 12+
it also has this, a 12 year old, among many other similar girls.
Face it, this was censored due to one cunt who abuses her power to push her personal agenda.
>>317477970
>shipped =/= sold
Don't you understand?
If a store sells many copies of a game (used or not), they will ask the publisher to ship more.
>>317477594
Seem they have 2 problems
1. Switching party members is a pain in the ass. Guess you have to actively talk to them to get them in your party.
2. Gathering missions is a chore.
>>317478185
And if that store does not get anyone to buy those shipped copies then that's a statistic that Nintendo takes into consideration.
>>317478083
>actually believing that you and a small handful of /v/irgins are affecting sales that much
You're as worthless as the SJWs, nobody is pandering to either of you guys.
>Nintendo fans harassing game devs with MUH CENSORSHIP
>>317474506
Zone of Enders - Yoji Shinkawa's work is great
Chocolate Elma or Mars Elma?
>>317478295
And why wouldn't anyone buy them?
>>317478409
As I said, you should ask NISA wether or not censorship affects sales, that is, if you can find them underneath all their unsold copies of Mugen Souls. They learned the hard way, and Nintendo is about to do the same.
>>317478479
Because there are used copies for 5 bucks cheaper.
>>317478419
That's fucking pathetic. Soraya doesn't deserve any of that shit. Censorshipfags need to fucking DIE.
>>317478419
>making fun of idiots is now a bad thing
Where do you think you are?
>>317475909
Sadly they probably don't even care. If it fails, then they expected it; if it's a success, then they still got money despite the shoddy localization. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
>>317474796
>>317478083
there's no reason in modern times to censor a video game. I refuse to play a censored or badly localized game on principle, as I don't want to play a watered down version of the original game just because some big shot retard didn't think I would be mature enough to see some anime titties or endure a culture even slightly different from my own. If there's no audio in the game's original language, I won't play it, if anything is modified in any way for censorship reasons, I won't play it, if the translation is Americanized shit which loses the original meaning or emotion of the game's original language writing, I won't play it. I think these are fine standards to have in 2015.
>>317478083
I don't like censorship either but some of the stuff you're saying it just wrong
>people that had to BEG 3 YEARS to get this game.
Maybe if you're talking about the first Xenoblade, the very first teaser trailer of Xenoblade X was also in both of the English Nintendo Directs, can you think of any games shown in the english Nintendo directs that never came out in those regions?
I'll admit the localization took a while, the game came out in April of this year in Japan, almost seems like they didn't start until after it was released.
>this was censored due to one cunt who abuses her power to push her personal agenda.
Do we even know if Rapp has any power in the localization department? She's a marketer, when she said FF5 was her crowning achievement she could have been talking about her "spoopy" trailer.
>>317473972
Pre-ordering rigth now since for some reason the special edition wasn't announced until yesterday for Mexico
>>317478543
But each used copy requires a new copy to be sold first.
Unless you trade in your used copy once you've finished it.
>>317478645
What an autist.
>>317473972
>People want to see her naked
>I feel uncomfortable just reading this
>>317478458
Even the filename couldn't save me from spoilers.
>>317478645
Write an e-mail, buy the game anyway and call it a day then.
>>317478409
Here's the thing; NoA doesn't want anything to do with this title just like how they didn't give a fuck about Xenoblade chronicle and many other title.
They just want to get this shit out there and hope that NoJ didn't force them to do this again.
This game will bomb, they knew and pretty much asking for it.
>>317478720
not autistic because I don't settle for second best. there are plenty of other games that I could experience in their full original glory, so I'll just play those.
>>317478683
She doesn't and FFV was localized by Nintendo of Europe.
>>317478720
Nice counterargument.
>>317475468
You Will Know Our Names has such a great intro and remains bombastic as fuck. You battle some enemies and meanwhile some huge fucker you didn't notice creeps up and the music changes and it's all "fuck where is it?!" Good shit.
>>317478645
Apparantly people are fine with being treated with the utmost contempt by Nintendo.
Nintendo telling them "you're not mature enough to handle this" or if you're a parent buying it for a kid "we assume you're bad parents so we did your job for you and simply removed all content that WE feel that YOUR kid cant handle and shouldnt be able to see"
Also, morons going "lolpedoshit" should get instabanned.
Aparantly the lowlife scum on this chink board doesnt have any principles or standards either.
So if I buy this game hoping to have lots of mech battle-y goodness, am I in for disappointment?
>>317478861
You should do that anon.
You guys really need some sex once in a while.
>>317478695
Got my Special Edition ordered on day one. While I would have loved the map EU got I am so much in love with that art book. Also I don't know if it's on every copy but I do know that the cover for the game on the Special Edition is reversible and it's basically the cover to the art book.
Does anyone know if the UK was safe from the censorship hammer? I imagine not.
>>317478841
Yes, they will waste TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars because they want the game to fail.
>>317478817
I maybe should have worded it differently; not only is it principle, but simply knowing that I'm playing a slightly shittier version of a game because some suit decided that I can't handle it is extremely off-putting. I would rather play other games which let me experience then the way they were truly intended to be experienced, and there are plenty of those.
>>317478864
>FFV was localized by Nintendo of Europe.
That was a credit for NoE version of the game anon, and the localization were done by a third party.
>>317478861
>there are plenty of other games that I could experience in their full original glory
And yet you are still here.
>>317478817
Why are you telling people to buy it? Why do you care?
>>317478817
>buy the game anyway
Sure thing goyim, I wonder who could be behind this post.
>>317479014
Why don't you buy a JP Wii U + Xenoblade X then?
>>317478552
Hate censorship but I agree that Soraya doesn't deserve it. Playing devil's advocate though, I doubt the people saying that to her know any better of who to blame - just like the anons here who try to pin this as a SJW issue/that one girl. It's the entire localization team and NoA being lazy in general.
>>317478773
I don't know why people keep using that word "naked." You can't have fully naked characters in Japanese video games on consoles, you can't show nipples or vagina.
Half naked? Sure, that seems more appropriate.
you guys are such fucking faggots. Dolls->skells isnt censorship, it's localization. Were you guys seriously only buying this game to play as a big busty anime girl with a lewd loli companion? Because there's hundreds of fucking games that do that already!
>>317473972
>people bitch and moan about censorship

>The censorship is due to one person.
She doesn't have the power you think she has. Please don't tell me you singled her out because she's a woman and that was just your default person to pin the blame on.
>>317478987
Yes, because NoJ told them to do so.
Why? Because of the lack of third party support and title to fill the calendar.
During the Wii era the simply have the luxury to choose what kind of game they want to bring over, which is why they didn't give a fuck about FF games or any other niche title.
>>317478939
Why don't you just see for yourself? GameXplain have covered almost everything about the game
>>317479083
>>317479047
too lazy to learn Japanese, also not even interested in this game and know nothing about it. I was simply adding to the conversation, because if I was interested in this game series, I still would not buy or play a watered down version made for Amerifats and i think people should hold themselves to the same standard. if people stopped buying this censored shit then maybe the companies would stop doing it
>>317478521
Yeah man, censorship was TOTALLY the reason the game didn't sell. It's the only possible reason nobody bought it. Not like it was a mediocre JRPG in a sea of mediocre JRPGs, with no advertising to speak of. Why I remember all those Mugen Souls protest groups that banded togethe- oh wait, there weren't even enough people to make a protest group because nobody knew or cared that the game existed. I mean 2007 was a totally dead year in gaming anyway, there were absolutely no big releases to compete with so I don't see why it failed so miserably, it must have been the censorship!!
>>317479272

You know full well that going against a woman today means you're gonna get fired for being a mysandrist
If you check NoA's twitter, I think the first recent promo for this game was retweeted from BEST BUY for their pizza bonus. Then it's two random videos buried between Yokai Watch, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon tweets. This is really pathetic.
>>317479362
So you are saying that there aren't plenty of other games that you could experience in their full original glory then?
>>317473972
It's pretty good.
Getting it surely.
but screw NoA, and everything about them

>>317479535
yes there are but according to this thread, this is not one of them, so i will make sure to avoid this series until I learn Japanese (if I ever do) as will I avoid every other game series with any examples of blatant censorship that I can't remove with any sort of hack or emulation technique.

Damn, I could do this all day.
>>317479616
Nice argument. Classic "it's against the law and you should feel bad because.... uh, morals"
>>317479398
Fatal Frame 4 wasn't a buggy piece of shit, it had far less bugs than you'd find in most games released these days, the problem was it had two big bugs, one that caused the Wii to crash and another that prevented unlocking a costume.
And Grasshopper didn't refuse to fix it, they just refused to fix it for free because according to them if it was good enough for NoJ then it should have been good enough for NoA and NoE. NoA and NoE didn't agree.
>>317479743
>it's okay to break the law because I said so
>fuck the system xD
This is going to be the longest 2 weeks.
>>317479616
>age is just a number
Considering this isnt a real person and just a bunch of polygons, yes, the age they slapped on her is just a number. just like how Nowi is a 1000 years old and looks like a toddler, Lin looks like an 18 year old and is 13.
Think before you speak next time, might prevent you from getting absolutely BTFO.
>>317478987
Reggie resisted calls to localise XBC for as long as possible, until the EU branch stepped in and did it for them.
They're intentionally sabotaging this game because NoA doesn't want to bother with the series in future. Why? Because Nintendo doesn't want to get letterbombed with angry complaints from Soccer Moms about how Timmy had an independent thought or literal letterbombs from extremist Christians.
Why do you think it had zero advertising, despite the series having character representation in one of Nintendo's top sellers (Smash bros)? They want the damn game to fail.
>>317479398
Source on that?
>>317479497
no nigga, I want to see where and how Rapp has the power to have a game like xenoblade censored like people are saying. Because she doesn't.
She'd have to pull something like that against someone in a much higher position than she is for it to even pass.
>>317473972
I should really go back and go finish Xenoblade before playing this. Haven't played it for months and I was like 50-60 hours in the game.
It's hard getting back into a game when you haven't played it in months though.

Me too.I'm buying it used
>>317478521
That game looked like garbage in the first place though.
>>317479272
Personally, I don't want it. I don't care whether or not she has lewd outfits.
But I DO care about the bust slider, because an RPG should never remove character customization options. When I come up with a female character, bust size is one of the things I consider, so I'd like to be able to adjust it.
>>317480028
if you called the police on someone while claiming pedophilia when all they are doing is playing a video game you can pick up at GameStop you would be actually arrested for being a retard and making false police reports
I hate the censorship too but really, what the fuck am I going to do about it? If I don't buy the game I miss out on the whole fucking thing and the lost sale (imagining that it makes a difference, because it won't) would just have NOA say "WELL, GUESS THEY DON'T LIKE THESE JRPG'S DON'T LOCALIZE THEM EVER". I lose either way but at least in one scenario I get to play the game.
>>317479747
>And Grasshopper didn't refuse to fix it
But they did, they wanted more pay for fixing them when it came time for localization, they felt they weren't obliged because they already did the work.
>>317479272
Why did Monolith think it was a good idea to sexualize a 13 year old in the first place?
>>317473972
I think it's pretty interesting as a game but I won't be buying it until probably March of 2016 so my purchase will be far removed from initial launch. Also I'll try to find it used if I can to lessen my purchase's impact even more.
>>317473972
If it were just Lin being censored it would be one thing, but gutting customization features is inexcusable. Same deal with Fatal Frame: censored outfits is pretty shitty, but censored outfits AND digital only? No, fuck you.
>>317480206
Buy it secondhand?
Learn Japanese?
>>317480142
What? did they remove the fucking bust slider?
>If I buy this game Nintendo will think it was due to NoA great cencorship! I cannot tolerate that!
Yeah, that's totally what will happen if you do.
>>317480218
Japan.
>>317479398
>Fatal Frame 4 wasn't brought over because it was a buggy piece of shit that Grasshopper refused to fix.
This is nothing but an assumption made by the people who draw this from the fact that this game have some bug.
>>317477536
With that mentality you might as well say "Buying X game is giving a store money to buy Y game. You don't like Y game? Tough shit you just supported it's sequel."
>>317478645
Honestly, I have hope that they'll fix it. Nintendo's response to being told that shit was censored (specifically the breast slider) was basically "wait, they did what?"
Not getting it on launch, but if I hear about them undoing the censorship I'll probably get it.
>>317480275
Yep.
>>317480218
In Japan the age of consent is like 12 and they didn't ban softcore cheese pizza until last year
>>317480275
Yes. This really happened.
>>317480206
>NOA say "WELL, GUESS THEY DON'T LIKE THESE JRPG'S DON'T LOCALIZE THEM EVER".
Even if this game sold well, NoA would definitely won't be bringing another title like this if they are given a choice.
>actively trying to sabotage Xenoblace Chronicle sales
>pretending that most of the game that doesn't fit their family friendly image doesn't exist
>>317479927
That's a huge stretch. It's better to assume that they don't like localizing Xenoblade because it just doesn't sell well. They don't want to advertise it because advertisement is money spent that they will most likely never see return to them from sales.
NoA doesn't want to take risks. They want to keep it safe with amiibos.
>>317480028
This is the stupidest argument I've ever heard, what about GTA? When you kill people in that should you be charged for murder?
>>317480218
Because there wasnt anything sexual about it in the first place. Its just you.
Maybe you're the one that needs help if he cant think of anything but sex when he sees someone in a bikini. Something I can see right now by looking out of my window.

This has nothing to do with pedophilia though.

>>317480576
Not with those hips and tits.
Also, she's a robot, so your entire flawed argument it moot to begin with.
>>317480213
That's exactly what I said.
They wanted to be paid for fixing the bugs because NoJ had signed off on them. NoA felt they had failed to live up to the conditions of the initial contract and should have fixed them for free.
This is all the fault of NoJ because they gave a pass to a game with a consistent console crashing bug and another that prevents the bonus costumes from being unlocked. These are not difficult to diagnose and eliminate bugs like some obscure allocation error or something, they are relatively easy and should never have been given the okay. NoJ fucked up.
I suppose in their defense Fatal Frame never sells worth a damn so they probably didn't care all that much.
>>317480520
>Because there wasnt anything sexual about it in the first place. Its just you.
>there wasn't anything sexual
I just don't know anymore.
>>317480776
Well Grasshopper themselves fucked up to think that was good enough, glad they will never be used again.
>>317480663
there is no media coverage of xenblade x at all
why would they pay people on the down low to go and tell a small group of their potential audience that they are pedos?
>>317480576
..and whats wrong with a child wearing a revealing outfit anon?
I mean, its not like any sane, normal person would be turned on with that right?
>>317480721
It's a Japanese thing. Fire Emblem did it, too. Many JRPGs do it. Different culture over there. It appeals to otakus. Probably why they censored Lin because of this exact response you'd get from westerners.
>>317480282
>Japan.
So, it's okay to be a pedophile as long as you're Japanese?
Also, 13 is nowhere near the age of consent in Japan. It's different in literally every prefecture.
In Tokyo for example the age of consent is 17.
>>317480864
I wouldnt let my 13 year old daughter wear outfits that revealing
>>317480776
Where the fuck is the source for this?
>>317481010
To be fair you wouldn't let them wear something like this at all.
>>317480858
They haven't made anything decent in years so its no loss, hopefully they will do a remaster or something for 4, and that will be that.
>>317480836
A swimsuit isnt sexual in the slightest, that is simply you projecting YOUR views and desires on them.
>>317480864
You see the same shit at the beach
Maybe Nintendo should ban/censor beaches, bring back the measuring tape
>>317480863
Seem the only thing NoA is doing is letting Gamexplain and Chugga talk and show off gameplay. But yeah without them actively marketing it I can't see this doing well. Its annoying since they put all that fucking time and money into Splatoon and it worked amazingly well.

>>317480472
>It's better to assume that they don't like localizing Xenoblade because it just doesn't sell well.
Except we know factually that's incorrect, by XBC's international sales. NoA is just up their own ass about being proven wrong about XBC and going out of their way to make sure this game doesn't sell to *prove* they were right all along.

I'm not sure if you are aware about what costume we are talking about.

>Nintendo's response to being told that shit was censored (specifically the breast slider) was basically "wait, they did what?"
Mind elaborating or source? NoJ or NoA?
>>317481010
Of course you wouldn't.
But there's still nothing inherently wrong with a child wearing a revealing outfit.
The intention is always on the eye of the beholder.
>>317477202
The terrible lip-sync is what annoys me the most. I can deal with the dub even though I'd rather have the original, this is just NoA half assing the job and lowering the overall quality of the product.
>>317481185
Do you not know what underrated post means? You don't call a post that was made a less than 2 minutes before yours "underrated" If it was one that has been in the thread for an hour or so with no replies, sure.
>>317481125
Ofcourse they are, anyone else would rip them a new asshole for mangling the localization like that, so they only allow the 2 biggest fanboi polesmokers to talk about it, one of which is a legit autist.
>>317481360

>>317481203
You mean the completely harmless bunny suit, which is on par with some of the fucking halloween costumes I saw this year?
Maybe you should stop lusting after kids, because it seems your problems have nothing to do with what they're wearing.
>>317481459
It's more so understanding the definition of the word underrated, but sure
Gonna pass. Maybe when Wii U pircay or emulation is a thing I'll play it but I'm not gonna buy the console and pay full price for a butchered game.
>>317481509
>You mean the completely harmless bunny suitNo.
Also my problem are literally childfuckers shitting up this thread 24/7 because they cannot make their shitty loliwaifus just in case you haven't noticed senpei.
I wish I was Japanese, so It'd be okay to be a pedophile.
They get a free pass.
>>317477202
The dub isn't really that bad, but the facial expressions and eyes bother me a lot. During the main cutscenes in Xenoblade Chronicles the characters actually had a visible range of emotions. They look so cold and lifeless here instead.
>>317481664
This?

>L'cirufe
Subtlety at its best.
>>317479053
Not him, but I admit to directly telling people to buy the game because I want it to be a success. The only
The biggest problem right now is that with the internet hiding shit like this is basically impossible. We knew about Lin in a bunny suit and the slider day one of Japanese launch. For one the people that knew about it feels like content is being removed. Another is that articles are going to just report about the changes and most likely show screen shots of both so everyone will see it anyways and those articles doesn't help NoA. I 100% get why they changed Lin (breast slider is fucking dumb) but NoA really has to change their localization policies because with games like Fire Emblem going down the waifu/husbando department the more people are going to get upset over editing it out.
>>317481975
>Feels like
No, it doesnt feel like, it IS content being removed.
Why do people keep saying we're getting a lesser game when we're getting the dlc for free, built into the game even. If anything we're getting more content. But I guess since the dlc doesn't have a little girl in a bikini it doesn't count.
>>317481770
Now that's what I call a hot potato.
>>317481975
I'm scared to see what NoA does with the FE localization.
It's like Nintendo's developers can't make lewd games without NoA butchering them; even though those games are not catering to children.
NoA should stop "censoring" the few mature IP's they have.
Is there an actual good thread for this game?
>>317481664
Most people are mad because of a lot of factor and not just a single outfit anon.
Retarded 'translation', removing bust slider, less voice option all adds up to the frustration.
>>317482339
Not right now, no.
>>317481975
>The biggest problem with censorship is that companies cant obfuscate the fact that they censored things
is this giganigga serious?
Do you faggots really think any of these changes will affect sales? The same thing happened to Fire Emblem Awakening and Bravely Default and they both did better than expected. And yet i'm suppose to believe all these people saying they won't buy the game?
>>317481046
It's all rumors from "industry insiders".
>>317482203
>Why do people keep saying
because they ARE getting an inferior version of a game, that is missing things that were present in the original version.
>>317482174
I'm trying to be 100% down on things. As I said NoA really need to rethink how they localize because since people are paying more attention to the Japanese release of the games they are noticing those things more and more.
>>317482250
Trust me I'm with you. NoA is still under the belief that either we have no fucking clue about the Japanese version or that somehow eliminating lewd will bring more people which won't happen.
I will buy two copies of this just to support monolith
>huurrrr censurship
Luckily, I'm neither an autist who has to hold up to morals in videogames nor an amerikek. But sure, don't buy it. Give NoA has an excuse to not localize it anymore, I will be here waiting for NoE to translate the next one while you create another operation rainfall.
>>317482339
No
>>317482250
>I'm scared to see what NoA does with the FE localization.
Ever since Iwata died, NoA has been fucking shit. Fates is going to get butchered to all hell, unless they give it a T+ rating. Or better yet, invent a damn 16 rating.
>>317482453
I understand where he's coming from. We've been getting censored games forever. Ignorance is bliss after all.
>>317478645
That isn't why they censored the game. They think about sales, not moral policing - after all, they're a corporation, selling a product. NoA believes that they are a kid's company so their marketing and localization team focus primarily on how their decisions will affect their sales in the younger demographic.
That's why they remove nything they think will piss off 'Murican moms and get they're kids told they can't play the game. Honestly I'm surprised any of the revealing outfits are left in.
>>317482203
>we're getting a lesser game when we're getting the dlc for free
Because the same exact DLC was also released in Japan?
>>317482461
Ask NISA wether or not their decision to censor Mugen Souls affected their sales, if you can find them buried under their piles of unsold copies of the game.
Pretty sure they never butchered a game like that ever again, after getting btfo like that.
>>317482558
Just going to ignore it also has new content that wasn't in the original too?
It's not "inferior", it's alternate.
I suppose it comes down to which you think is more important, free DLC or a child in a bikini.
Protip: If you think the later you're a pedo fuck.
>>317477202
Ehh, I hated Riki's English dub voice and I hate this new Nopon's English voice. Instead of keeping the cutesy voice they give them the voice of some middle aged old men. I just don't get it.
>>317478773
while not 'naked' per se, I agree with you...the most vocal opponents of the censorship are just disgruntled pedophiles (ephebophiles if you care to split hairs but it makes little difference)
>>317482757
That game failed because everyone knew it was a piece of shit, not just because of censorship.
>>317482652
No, we havent. Cool story though.
>>317482663
Except you're wrong. This move will only LOSE them sales. Average Joe doesnt know about whats going with this game. Only people following the game do, and they just dropped the game like an ugly baby.
>>317482203
>we're getting a lesser game when we're getting the dlc for free
I'm happy about at least not paying for dlc but saying that we're not getting a lesser game is a joke. We're still getting less content even when we're not paying for it.
Japan
>Everything from costumes to sliders to name/religious implications intact
>Also have access to DLC content if they pay
US
>Sliders removed, costumes removed, names/meanings changed, less character voice options for your avatar
>Get DLC that Japan has to pay for free
>>317482339
No, maybe later in the day though. As long as you don't mention censorship in the and console wars in the OP and avoid all post that talks about either of those they usually turn out pretty comfy.
>>317482757
NISA censored the second Mugen Souls game as well, and to a similar extent, so please tell me what I'm supposed to interpret from that example.
>>317482757
Why are you bringing up that shit game though?
>>317482929
>No, we havent.
How fucking young do you have to be.
>>317482663
>they think about sales
>game has literally no advertisement
>>317482764
Except it doesnt have new content you inbred shitsmear.
THat DLC was present in the jap version, and costs jack shit.
Pro tip; dont use words you cant spell, makes you look even dumber than you already are.
>>317482203
only the bust slider is removed.
So technically we are getting more content, since we get the lewd costumes + alternate versions for Lyn. :^)
Also to all the people bitching about dual audio, we won't getting it, but neither did the nips, so that's a con...how?
>>317482745
That you had to pay extra for, which we are getting for free. Therefore we get more content. Not that fucking hard to comprehend.
>>317482764
I pick the latter, but I'm Japanese. Do I get a free pass?
Surely I do, since NoJ and the rest of Japan doesn't give a shit.
>>317482764
>it's alternate
>for content that JP users had access to (with cash)
>pedobait argument
am I being baited?
>>317482663
>They think about sales
No anon, I think they care more about their overall images than sales.
They don't want to be know as the company that publish FF5, Devils Third etc.
They want to keep a clean, pristine impression about them which is why they put a minimal effort on letting people know that this game in the public eye.
>>317482453
Games has always been altered since the NES. It's only been the past few years when people really started to take notice. And I was speaking in regard to the business side over the consumer. Removing things that might seem "objectionable" was basically the safe way to present a game to the west. And outside a given few no one knew about it. Now with Twitch and Youtube everyone is paying attention to the Japanese version and taking more notice. I mean do you think the change in Lin's outfit would actually take up an article on a gaming sit last gen? Fuck no. But now we all seen Lin in a bunny suit and them changing her outfit makes everyone report on it and it just brings negative feelings to the game.
So they edited Lyn, but apparently not the animal girl.
>>317482929
>We've been getting censored games forever.
>No, we havent.
>>317481703
I read this one interview where an American reporter asked some mangaka "What does your wife think of your loli fetish?"
His answer was "I don't think she minds. She's into gay shota, after all."
>>317483189
Yep
See, I don't agree with the censorship and some other changes but I really won't drop the game for that. It's not like NoA will think I bought it thanks to their great work.
>>317482897
Lyn is 13 so it'd be classed as hebophilia, not pedo- or ephebophilia.
Get your definitions straight before you start pontificating.
The game seems like it's been done for quite a whiles. Why are they waiting even fucking longer until Dec to release it?
>>317482914
Sure it did, thats why the jap reviews give it an average score of 7-8 /10.
Whereas the western reviews got reviewbombed.
>>317483079
We get more content per dollar.
Even though the Jap have to pay for it, they still have more than us and no amount of money could do that.
>>317483075
>more content
count the number of Japanese voices and compare them to the number of English voices
>>317482663
If they'd think about sales, then they wouldn't have censored Fatal Frame V a survival horror game that's catering to 17+
>>317479056
Many of us are not part of Nintendo and will tell you to buy the game anyway because we want to convince NoA that they should care about this series, and money speaks to a corporation like nothing else.
>>317482757
>Copy paste the same shit example you gave earlier in the thread
Give it up. The game sold like shit because it was a shitty game. If the censorship affected sales it was because Mugen Souls from the beginning was about little girls doing pedo shit so it only attracted that audience. Whereas Xenoblade has a much wider appeal despite what you and other censorshipfags who think you're the main audience say otherwise.
>>317483296
Yeah and? Japan's shit taste doesn't make it not a piece of shit like so many from 2006 - 2011 when the PS3 was getting swarmed with them.
>>317483289
Maybe they're afraid of competing with Fallout 4, since they're both open-world RPGs?
>>317481263
http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/11/nintendo-responds-to-complaints-regarding-xenoblade-chronicles-x-censorship/
From what they're saying, NoA was unaware of the changes to Xenoblade Chronicles X until the fans started bitching about it.
>>317482929
>No, we havent. Cool story though.
I...what...When have we've been NOT getting censored games? Hell Xseed came about BECAUSE we only been getting censored games. It's just that it's more noticeable because how easy we can view the Japanese game.
>>317479132
It would have to be (god I hope free) DLC, most people are claiming it can't fit on a WiiU disc next to the rest of the game.
>>317483073
>>317483119
>get more content for less money
>still consider it the "inferior" version simply because no children in bikinis
Jesus, pedos, get your priorities straight.
>>317483017
Which also sold like shit; pretty sure they still sell the collectors edition
>>317483027
>why are you bringing up facts that shit all over my already flawed argument?
>>317483195
Out of the 100 last games I purchased, only one was censored.
Hint; it was fatal frame 5
I'm more pissed about 8-4 changing the Factions' names.
>Hey, look at these unique names that give personality for the Factions that you can join.
>No fuck that and lets change them into the most generic, straight forward names possible.
>>317483223
I think there's the difference with mindset in the US where things have to reflect reality and vice versa. Meanwhile in Japan, people have the weirdest fetishes but keep it strictly to themselves or only apply to their 2D sexuality and know to keep fiction and reality separate. This is reflected in the games both countries make as well. That American reporter trying to stir shit though
>>317482929
>No, we havent. Cool story though.
MOOOOOODS
>>317482897
>the most vocal opponents of the censorship are just disgruntled pedophiles
That is not the case anon, just look at this thread.
The only people who bring up the Lyn outfit is the pro-censorship with an attempt to discredit their opposition by labelling and namecalling them.
>>317483418
Are you fucking kidding me with this? What the fuck are they even doing?
>>317483140
They didn't seem to have any problems with Bayonetta 2 image wise.
>>317483418
bullshit
>>317483527
They outsourced the translation/localization.
>>317483469
>Out of the 100 last games I purchased, only one was censored.
sure thing buddy
Xenofags really are showing off as a fucking terrible fanbase, they seem to have a form of Stockholm syndrome and are pretty much pro-censorship at this point. How fucking pathetic.
>>317480392
>nintendos response was "wait, they did what?"
I need a source on this because of this is true NoJ may step in and tell NoA to fuck off.
Don't you guys ever get tired of bitching about censorship over and over again?
Just learn japanese already. You'll never have it your way since you're the minority.
>>317483504
Same thing with the class names. The changes were just completely unnecessary. The base translation of them was fine but they changed it again. It was changing english to english. What the fuck?
>>317483468
>but its just the outfit
Less voice for protagonist, character creation feature has been removed, censorship of any religious tone and symbolic etc.
The only people who keep bringing up the outfit is you anon.
>>317473972
>I love cocks so I will continue sucking cock everyday.
>>317483593
I thought treehouse was part of NoA though?
>>317483536
That's because the original script was in English, so they didn't hire a localization company.
The company that famously told them to make the Link outfit sexier was Nintendo, AKA Nintendo of Japan.
>>317483631
No, they are not Xenofag anon.
They are just NoA shill who has being doing this on every single thread, regardless of the title to downplay and dismiss the issue.
>>317483631
That's right, they are horrible people. It would be best to never enter xeno threads ever again and let them be.
>>317483418
>http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/11/nintendo-responds-to-complaints-regarding-xenoblade-chronicles-x-censorship/
Thanks for finding this out, I really mean it. I was one of the anons who sent some emails and I didn't know that NoA was unaware and this info brings some things into light. Hopefully other anons read this.
>>317483657
That was NoA's response. They outsourced the translation to 8-4.
>>317483803
It is. Treehouse isn't translating it.
>>317483418
>From what they're saying, NoA was unaware of the changes to Xenoblade Chronicles X until the fans started bitching about it.
That's not what that link says at all, it's just someone at Nintendo saying "I don't know why this is being done. Whoever made the decision and why hasn't been shared."
Also, let's not forget when people whinged about Fatal Frame 4 Nintendo initially denied they were the publisher and that fans should harass whoever is publishing the game. Tecmo were the one that shared the information that Nintendo ARE the publisher and that they had decided not to publish outside of Japan.
>>317483704
They get paid depending on how much work they put in so translating shit that doesn't need to be translated means more cash.
>>317483769
well, yeah? I mean, if you love cocks why shouldn't you keep sucking them?
>>317483418
>Be the one that censors game, expect people to not catch on
>get called on your horseshit
>urr we didndonuffink
if they actually cared, they'd have undone the changes by now, it literally would take less than 5 minutes to replace the altered outfit with the original and to put the cut feature back in.
>>317478419
Fucking hell don't harass Saga.
>>317483418
Good
Hopefully this means they won't hire 8-4 anymore, or at least keep them under closer watch
At the very least, this shows that they're aware that fans are unhappy about this
>>317483851
Read the article itself.
It's just clickbait. Nowhere does Nintendo of America explicitly address the issue, it's just one service rep saying said "lol I'm consumer relations I dunno why they changed it; your email is important to us blahblahcannedresponse".
>>317482203
>Why do people keep saying we're getting a lesser game when we're getting the dlc for free
Yes. Literally over 8 months after the original release. Getting said DLC for free should be a fucking given, considering they couldn't even get as many English VAs for the US release while having the nerve not to even offer dual-audio, on top of a shitload of needless dialogue changes and practically no marketing for this game.
Stop acting like the customers, in the west, who're paying their money for this game, but getting an altered version, without our input, are automatically being ungrateful for having the nerve to expect Nintendo not to drag their asses with localization.
