This seems like a problem to take up with the ESRB.
>>336453248
I didn't even say anything, but nice to see you shitposter-kun.
>>336453342
Japanese rating board is more strict than the west one. So I don't see how it's ESRBs fault. Seems more like an excuse. Unless they want the rating to be for all ages.
Will those games be on the Vita or on the PS4?
>>336453768
PC/Vita/PS4

Fucking americans.
>>336453954
Cool. Thanks.
>>336453417
Maybe rating isn't as big a deal in Japan.
>>336453117
The lack of nip dub is a huge omission already
>>336453117
>no nip dub
Huge omission
Boycotted
>>336454328
it is when it comes to violence and gore sometimes. Blood color is changed or sometimes omitted completely, hell the Asian Ni-oh demo doesn't have the dismemberment the English one does.
>>336455431
This isn't persona.
People play this for the hunting gameplay.
>>336455660
And? There's voices during gameplay too
>>336455660
in a hunting game where there is no armor, only japanese "fashion", thats kind of a big deal if you are playing as a female with literally no good looking clothing anymore.
>>336455660
I'd play this forthe story.I dislike MH, but if GE has a decent story I'll try it out.
>>336454328
Nudity and sexuality isn't a big deal.
Actual intimacy and violence is usually heavily changed. Japan censorship is a lot worse than anything western sees when it's done.
>>336455660
It's literally one of the most strong aspects on the gameplay, the nip version voice casting is cool as fuck and gives it the proper experience how the fucking game should be.
>>336453117

Look niggas we barely got this shit after all these years so I'll take what i get but, the voice acting was never the main aspect of this series so don't know why you lot act as if so important.
People usually play GE because it's just a fast paced MH with lock ons.
>>336456517
The fact that GE has the story and character MH lack was the appeal
So no, fuck this shit, I won't support it.
>>336456517
I'll wait and see what's censored before considering buying it. I'm just tired of games not having dual audio and being censored all the time.
How long after release will the undub happen? I'm going to need it.
Reminder God Eater Burst was also censored, so it might be the same shit as back then
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anCVb7jHacQ
MUH CENSORSHIP
>>336455786
Nudity is a big deal because CERO doesn't allow any of it. That's why erotic vns are on pc.
>>336457318
So just because she got her breasts groped it got deleted?
>people unironically refuse to buy a game if the voices aren't in a language they literally can't understand
>>336457459
Yes
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
>>336453117
Can someone please inform Japanese publishers that the SJW faggots over here are a extremely vocal minority that don't even play their games. How fucking hard is this shit to do if they spent 10 fucking minutes researching they would come to the same conclusion. Mature ratings make your game sell more idiots.

You literally never had any intention of buying it in the first place
>>336458647
The only version that can even be pirated is the PC version unless they put Denuvo on it.
Will it have proper online for the vita?
>>336458647
>>pirating over such petty shit
Not everyone has the same thinking as you do. Some people despise censorship no matter how small it is and don't want to support such practice.
>>336458854
Literally every Japanese game gets "censored" in some shape or form through localisation. Every single game.
If you're morals are so strong on censorship you wouldn't play anything but the original Japanese versions.
>>336458950
>Bolsheviks trying to change the meaning of words again.

Nope.
>>336458950
>Literally every Japanese game gets "censored" in some shape or form through localisation
Do not confuse a shoddy translation/localization with censorship. One is done due to inexperience, while the other is done due to a specific agenda. That being said, there are in fact games out there that have been translated (NOT localized) in a near-flawless fashion, resulting in the finished product being essentially identical to the original.
On the matter of censorship, it is really fucking obvious that God Eater does not contain any sort of sex or nudity, which are the only things the ESRB would require to be censored. The ESRB is actually one of the most lenient rating boards out there, especially when compared to PEGI or CERO. That being said, these games clearly do not depict sex or contain nudity, so there would be no reason to censor them outside of some sort of personal agenda.
>>336459116
Yep
>>336458852
Yes
>>336459431
Alright, i emulated the first game some time ago and the fighting felt funky to me and I was disapointed with only having like 1 combo. Did they fix this in 2?
>>336458950
Kek if anything it's the opposite, games like MGSV or NioH are -less- censored than the JP version
Just because it still happens doesn't mean we shouldn't ask for no censoring.
>>336461356
>>336453117
I guess it's okay when Bamco does it
>>336459048
This is you trying to use censorship to be wider in scope than it is which is a problem because that puts something stupid like "covering this girl up a bit" in the same line as "government silencing someone"
And if you think that terms for important hit liek that should ever be devalued you're a fucking moron.
>>336459214
They've been localised, you just can't tell because you know fuck all about Japanese.
Localization and editorial are not the same as censorship, fucking deal with it.
>>336456517
>the voice acting was never the main aspect of this series so don't know why you lot act as if so important.
Says you. God Eater in JP actually has really good cast. For example, Alisa in JP for example is Maaya Sakamoto.
If this was Nintendo, there would be dozens of threads about it.
But since it's not Nintendo, it is ok, nobody cares.
Based on my experience playing Bamco games, they don't care about censoring outfits.
Sure, there's first time for everything but I don't think they will censor any default clothes.
>>336462090
off all these animu slut, i know only aeris
im good
>shitty MH clone that no one cares about
>censorship is the only thing that makes it relevant
You can count on /v/ to be the first to react when it comes to censorship!
>>336462218
Exactly, /v/ only cares about nintendo games and nintendo consoles
>>336453117
If it comes to PC people will mod in mature content anyways.
>>336462245
The only censorship I know of from GEB was that deleted scene and the fact that Venus had a bigger bra in the west.
>all these newcomers and shitoosters not knowing the dub is actually good and Alisa will remained unchanged
It's probably something that was deemed too violent, like someone being eaten alive
>>336462090
Lol never heard of this bitch's voice once
And I wached soul eater in english,so kill yourself fucking weeb
>>336462031
>it's only censorship if the government is doing it
>>336462407
What deleted scene?
Never played the japanese version so I don't know what scene they deleted.
More importantly, I hope they fix the gameplay.
A lot of people liked to call GE a "Monster Hunter with story", but when compared to MH, GE felt like an unfinished project and a first-gen PSP game.
A grand total of like 5 map shapes (that they tried to masquerade as more with reskins), the whole game is just the same mission repeated over and over, and unlike MH every single monster behaved exactly the same as every other one, with very slight variations that didn't add anything to the fighting strategy, so it always boiled down to "Mash attack and dodge from time to time".
The weapon upgrading was pathetic, with the materials needed to accomplish it being story-locked, and being so unspecific that upgrades felt like a formality. "Oh, I cleared chapter 3 and now I have tier 3 weapons, whoop that sure feels good".
What I want to see from GE2 is if they've actually managed to make it a game this time, instead of a poor tech demo of a MH-wannabe.
>It's ok when Sony does it.

I will play it on computer and mod out the censorship.
>>336462289
Too bad MH is stuck on decades old hardware
>>336453117
>The game is based around hunting monsters in a similar way to the 'monster hunter' franchise
I thought this genre was dead like RTS
wtf why do people still playing 'kill the reskinned monster for 1% drop 100 hours' game
>>336462853
>>336462878
Thanks.
Ah, so it's the breast groping scene. I remember watching the pachislot version of it...
If that scene still exist in Resurrection, I'm sure they will remove it.
>>336463086
>I will sit on my computer desk and wait for someone to mod out the censorship.
Fixed.
Anyway, for those who watched the stream, did you notice any difference in the opening animation?
They actually censored the opening
>>336462690
>suppression of ideas and art
What idea or art is being suppressed by taking a product made for mass consuption and making it more massly consumable by the people making it?
People got upset at the changing of a word becuase sensationalist news made it out like it wasn't something that happens all the time, there are usually several editions of classic books which range from modernised to purely original with notes. And the fig leaf thing is over a century old (or so the story goes) and detachable.
Everything else basically falls back to the appeal to the fact that it's "art" I'm sorry but this isn't art, it's mass markey product aimed at selling. There is no message outside of money. And the message of "we want to make money" is only strengthened and reinforced by what you call censorship. In effect, it becomes more legitimate as art. (not that it has any real legitimacy even with that)
And the idea that it has to be conspiratorial is laughable. The evidence for team ninja's decision is some intern that can barely speak english saying shit on facebook. Play Asia can capitalise on an oppertunity without TN's help. And the DOA games have a major downwards trend in sales in the west.
>>336463086
>Too bad MH is stuck on decades old hardware
And it still manages to be a game several magnitudes better than GE
Amazing what you can do even with hardware limitations
>>336463160
Actually I'm pretty much able to do it myself, I suppose.
And I'm not even american so I'm crossing my fingers it won't even be censored over here.
>True Moon in the Welkin
>>336462913
Maybe he think playing GTA in japanese would be perfectly okay
>>336463375
>What idea or art is being suppressed by taking a product made for mass consuption and making it more massly consumable by the people making it?
The point is that it's not done by the people making it.
It's done by middlemen who control the market, and the end users get fucked.
The "Making it more massly consumable" part doesn't happen because people who complain to get stuff censored aren't gonna buy the censored version just as much as they weren't gonna buy the uncensored one.
They just like getting outraged, they don't really care about the product.
>>336453969
>can't read four posts before being frenzied into a shitposting froth
Fucking Australians
>>336463489
>The point is that it's not done by the people making it.
But it is, the japanese side often do it, and when it's being done by a localisation team they're making a new product and are the creators of that product. You simply must read it in the original greek as they say.
>>336463489
>The "Making it more massly consumable" part doesn't happen
Support your claim. If the companies had data suggesting this was true they wouldn't do it as money is their only goal.
>>336462645
>Dub is actually good
If you mean Arc Rise Fantasia good, then ok.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zygDzAkothQ
So no one knows what's censored and we're all freaking out over nothing so far
If you want Japanese voices why not just learn Japanese and import it? ;-)
>>336463375
>by the people making it
second point
>>336463757
I addressed this already. The localisation is a sperate product, if you don't want the product that team is making don't buy it and hope/appeal for another translation as happens in literature.
>>336463710
The very fact that they confirmed stuff is censored is enough to be concerned about. Any censorship is still censorship, no matter how you dice it.
>>336463489
>The "Making it more massly consumable" part doesn't happen because people who complain to get stuff censored aren't gonna buy the censored version just as much as they weren't gonna buy the uncensored one.
This is an argument I always see and I doubt there is any truth to it, because I doubt the people who outcry for censorship actually have influence on what gets "censored"
Example: Skullgirls edit of 3 frames of animation. Team comes out and says it's an internal decision to make those animations look more mature. Result: months later people find out and shitpost about how the integrity of Skullgirls is ruined and there's a huge SJW conspiracy behind it -- I think I even read in a thread that it was a byproduct of "internalized censorship" (which sounds just like SJW rhetoric for internalized racism).
As another counterpoint, in a thread two days ago there was a thread complaining that Stranger of Sword City added an additional option for character art that changed the appearance of the game to a more classic fantasy look, to one that was more moe-looking to appease japanese audiences. Thread was full of complaints saying the game would be better if moe shit wasn't added. Another cry for "censorship."
The companies know their audiences, and they know strange quirky Japanese games don't sell as well in America as autists on /v/ think they do.
>>336463756
I did that years ago
Any time import censorship shitstorms happen I'm just here laughing at the tertiary bottom feeders
情けねぇなーあんたら
>>336463991
Two entire companies shut down their entire western divisions because they got tired of the SJW shit and you're still telling me that the outcry babies have no power
How blind must you be
>>336463991
>companies know their audiences
Has this ever been true?
>>336463734
Watch it, it's different
>>336464108
Yea sorry, I don't buy the narrative that SJW triggering controls the market, because I've never seen evidence of this.
What I have seen personally is all my weeb friends with DS's all get flashcarts and pirate their games, while all my normie friends actually buy the "censored" games and enjoy them. I don't believe the market is what /v/ believes it to be, and the byproduct of this is the censorship SJW boogeyman.
>>336464453
>Yea sorry, I don't buy the narrative that SJW triggering controls the market, because I've never seen evidence of this.
The companies literally said this.
It's isn't an implication
It isn't 'interpreting their words'
They tweeted and said in interview, both Team Ninja and Compile Hearts, that the SJW situation had gotten bad enough that they decided it wasn't worth the effort
And so they closed their biggest market, so even the usual "They did it for publicity" defense doesn't work.
>>336464108
They shut them down bceause they were unprofitable, that's the only reason.
>>336464031
Now I haven't brushed up on my japanese in 5 years, but did you actually just fucking use the elongated vowel from katakana in hirigana?
>>336464453
DOAX3 wasn't released here because of all the whining here.
>>336464453
There was some Jap company that said they'd better not bring games to the west at all if it meant they had to censor it because people are getting offended.
>>336464671
>>336464579
As stated by what was probably an intern in broken english.
If it was even remotely more official than high grade engrish and from someone with an actual name in the company I'd consider giving it to you.
>>336464669
>They shut them down bceause they were unprofitable, that's the only reason.
Every single one of their games
I mean
Every single one
Has sold more in the market they closed than in the home japanese market
Every single one
And your claim is that they closed the division because it wasn't profitable
wew lad
>>336464453
>Yea sorry, I don't buy the narrative that SJW triggering controls the market, because I've never seen evidence of this.
>Deciding not to bring DOAX3 to the west, despite the extreme series always outselling Asia 2:1

>>336453117
Who gives a shit? Only Nintenyearolds care about censorship, so fuck off toddler.
>>336464669
>but did you actually just fucking use the elongated vowel from katakana in hirigana?
Please don't try to speak about things you don't know anything about
>>336464796
You know these divisions have a cost to run right?
If that cost isn't sufficiently offset by what they're getting back they will close them. They don't give a fuck, infact they do, they're fucking happy to be getting "negative press" because all press is good press.
>>336464768
There's no convincing you either way. Keep buying into their bullshit, I guess.
>>336464579
By the Team Ninja situation I assume you're referring to DOAX3?
It's easier to believe the narrative that that series sells poorly in the west, because in general western audiences respond poorly to overt sexuality. What the other anon said about the tweet being unreliable makes sense to me, because what you have to consider is whoever wrote that tweet may be under the same bias as you: tweeting intern gets the word they're not localizing DOAX3, gets the word it's because western audiences doesn't like it, he's been "red-pilled" and tosses out SJW's (which in turn resonates with the only people who care about DOAX3 in the west and play-asia capitalizes on).
I think my explanation is more sound.
>>336464896
That's why I asked.I'm relearning, it's painful what 5 years of disuse will do, at least kanji is going pretty fast to relearn
>>336464373
Apple, duh
http://nichegamer.com/2015/12/05/idea-factory-will-no-longer-localize-games-which-need-censoring-for-western-regulations/
Can't wait for the "they didn't mention SJWs so that doesn't count".
Western rating systems are more lenient than CERO. There's no reason to censor it.
>>336464942
DOAX always sold more in the west
>>336465016
>I'm relearning, it's painful what 5 years of disuse will do, at least kanji is going pretty fast to relearn
That's literally the only slow part of Japanese
The entirety of Japanese grammar can be glossed over in three days, while kanji will take forever
As for your original inquiry "ー" is just a sound extender, it's not exclusive to katakana or anything.
>>336463734
>>336464378
Lindow's smoking sequence was replacing with a sequence of Soma laughing but that's all I noticed.
Which is hilarious because the original PSP release had it and I don't even think the Soma sequence is in the Japanese OP for Resurrection.
Man, people already screamed they censored some characters outfits (especially Nana & Alisa). Looking at english gameplay videos, I don't see any difference.
Nana is still Nana...
>>336464797
WOW, YOU MEAN A SERIES ON XBOX SOLD BETTER IN AMERICA? YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY.
Good job buying a shitty sequel with no content because PlayAsia told you to, by the way. Also, DOAX3 actually sold in Japan, since people there own PS4s.
>>336464917
So the side that sells more games gets closed, because it's not profitable enough while the side that sells less games continues on?
>>336465137
>Nana is still Nana...
Not with that voice
>>336465112
If it always sold more in the west, it would continue to be sold in the west.
>>336465137
ah, yeah, good old Nana...
>>336465071
>Idea Factory
Good riddance
>>336465228
And yet they didn't thanks to SJWs. And they still spend the money to translate the game anyway.
>>336465228
People seem to forget that sales dropped from the first game to the second in the west, yet keep using the dumb 'it always sold more here!' argument
>>336465128
But. You normally just repete the vowel in hirigana as far as I recall, not the simplified katakana elongation of sound.
I'm actually finding grammar a pain though it's been like a week and a half, but that's probably becuase I used to be able to think in moon and now I can't and being able to half do something you used to be able to do fully is always a bitch.
>>336465283
They acquired some good studios lately, including the Disgaea 4 full staff.
>>336465334
The Asia Releases that Sony does are machine translations, which are beyond fucking cheap.
>>336465405
It was still not entirely negligible sales. The game was just poorly received
>>336465495
Funny how they're more accurate than Nintendo's "real" translations.
>>336465209
Their home division you mean?
>>336465405
Because they forget the first one was touted as a sports game more than anything. I remember the marketing and while girls in bikini's were there, the mags were all talking about the actual game element, and it got a lot of hype on OXM and shit.
>>336465424
It's more of a colloquial thing most of the times
"Nasakenai" means pathetic, but when someone is slurring words (which happens often in spoken japanese) it ends up sounding more like "Nasakeneee"
But 情けねえええ looks retarded in text, so it ends up being 情けねー or 情けねぇ
>dat censorship defense force already
Sucks for those who looked forward to GE and hoped it would be left untouched.
We are now living in a time where fans of Jap games are constantly worried that the games will be cut and rewritten to oblivion when they're "localized".
Or won't be translated in the first place because everyone is afraid of fake outrage.
>>336465624
>but when someone is slurring words
I'm having flashbacks to drunk salarymen I had to entertain while we were talking about qunatum dot applications for TV.
>>336465134
There's 3 scene in the JPN opening where it shows Lindow smoking.
The first scene is replaced with Soma laughing.
The second scene is replaced with Soma crashing into mirror or something and additional Yu Kannagi scene
The third scene is replaced with Sakuya crying(?)
>>336465665
>We are now living in a time where fans of Jap games are constantly worried that the games will be cut and rewritten to oblivion when they're "localized".
AS opposed to the 80s and 90s where they just completely rewrote games unapologetically?
>>336465810
Damn poor Lindow can't be seen smoking or else kids will think it's cool.
>>336465810
>Americans are afraid of smoking now
Not that I promote inhaling tar, but why?
>>336465851
Not him, but it's more that thanks to the internet, we're able to easily spot the differences in games. Back in the 80s and 90s, we had far less access to information about the original Japanese products.
>>336465749
what
>>336465602
How is that funny? A machine translation means it's accurate to the point of reading like shit. It's how we get "It cannot be helped"
>>336456517
Just fucking open the game and replace the files.
>>336465810
Did Lindow ever smoke with his in-game model? Because if he did we should keep a watch out for such scenes for editing. inb4 they replace it with a lollipop.
>>336465665
>Games not being censored nowadays is newsworthy
>Censorship defense force constantly saying it's okay even though most people don't even buy such games
>Japs listen to these idiots and SJWs
>>336465851
Doesn't mean that censorship is ok. It isn't as bad as it used to be, but now were going full circle as more companies are outright stating they're not releasing it in the west for the fear of backlash and cutting out gameplay sections like with FE and completely changing the translations.
>still no option to preorder in PSN
Guess it was a bit too early to get gift cards.
>>336465665
Games change due to market appeal.
Games in Japan will traditionally have violence toned down.
Games in America will traditionally have sexuality toned down.
But you never hear anyone in these threads crusade for censorship on behalf of the Japanese, because it doesn't affect muh waifu.
>>336466019
Let's positive thinking !
>censored
>dub only
If you care for this series you wont be buying this. Might as well start learning nip and enjoying the games how they were made. Really considering this.
>>336465989
Just remembering my old job with the firm I used to work with (which is the main reason I bothered learning Japanese, we had a lot of Japanese clients) we manufactured quantum dots, we had a lot of Japanese compnaies coming to us asking about our technical specifications a lot and mostly to talk about TV applications for them (this was 6-7 years ago) they always wanted to go to the pub during their stay.
>>336465405
Because that argument is still true. Over half of the DOAX2 sales are from murrica alone.
>>336465432
If I wanted to play a game by Disgaea staff, I'd play Disgaea
God censorship whiners are the fucking worst
>>336466206
Because we're not Japs. Japs also don't fight for us and say that games shouldn't be censored in the west.
>>336465602
What's not funny is you actually defending a machine translation
>>336466435
That should tell you how shoddy Nintendo's translations are.
>>336454328
>>336455786
>>336455524
good lord, you guys really don't know shit about japan do you.
the japanese CERO board is notoriously aggressive in the last few years, apparently one of the first things they do now is check to see if you can see a girl's panties, and that's a mark against the game if you can.
Smash Bros for example, Sakurai was told to change Peach and Zelda to make sure you couldn't see inside their dresses, even though he used to get away with that. It's because they have gotten more strict.
Uncensored nudity or sex would get you a Z rating (AO basically), which is pretty much a death sentence for sales. Usually they will aim to get a rating just *below* AO.
Even Saya no Uta, a VN with graphic sex scenes, wasn't CERO Z because a bunch of it was blurred out visually to get a slightly lower rating.
On the flipside, these US companies censoring shit aren't typically doing to to get a lower rating; Fatal Frame V for example, was Rated M, and the censorship didn't bring it down to a T or anything. It was a purely personal decision of Treehouse.
I have no doubt this shit with Scamco is exactly the same.
NO DUAL AUDIO NO BUY
>>336466389
I refuse to believe it's because we're not Japs because I've never seen a thread on /v/ complaining about any sort of violence-related censorship in a game that was brought to the west -- like No More Heroes toning down the violence by not allowing Travis to run over pedestrians.
My bias here comes from a fighting game standpoint, the Skullgirls incident made me realize the people who post about this actually don't care about censorship and just want to be triggered to justify their hatred towards an amorphous SJW community. I feel very strongly no one who complained about the changes to Skullgirls actually played the game ever in vs., and only had a passing interest in it attributed to waifuism. They might have bought it on sale, they might have played storymode, but they weren't fans of the game outside of downloading ecchi art of their favorite characters. Same with Streetfighter V, and that's not a sustainable audience.

FFV was a NoE change, much like FFII's remake.

>>336466751
>implying most people will read your post
Even if they did they'd say you're a fucking weeb or something along those words. There's no use trying to use logic here because all they want to do is shitpost and trigger some people saying censorship is ok. But thanks for the post anyways, anon.
>>336466778
Would you do the same if they released it with Japanese voice only?
>>336467219
Dubfags should off themselves desu. Too lazy to even read.
>>336466912
Proof? I'm googling that but there were so many articles and forum posts arguing about FFV censorship that I can't find confirmation it was Europe who censored it.
Typically if it's censored in Europe that means they got their localization sent to them from NoA.
>>336466371
You never wanted them to try something new?
>>336466965
Dude the translation are checked over and are fine.
It's indeed much better than meme central and dog jokes.
You're a fucking retard.
>>336467219
When peoples ask for dual audio they actually just want the original voice
No one is asking for DMC dual audio for a reason, the english voices are the originals.

Uh, if there's someone who knows how to translate to check over a machine TL, why wouldn't they just translate it themselves? Oh wait, chances are they don't actually know Japanese. Enjoy you're 'edited' machine TL, I guess.
>>336467857
they were actually paid for this
>>336467857
Jesus fucking christ
>>336468185
There also made a shitton of typos too. Fun fact: the completed fan translation has less typos than the NoA version. It also doesn't have the pickle man and so on.
>>336467857
why is the Japanese release in English
>>336467673
Question for native english speaker, do the fan translation looks "natural" to you?
I'm just curious, english is not my native language but the fan translation looks "off" to me
>>336468409
Fan translation.
There's a website or series of pictures comparing Jap and US translation of FE. But I haven't saved it.
Honestly?
Who gives a fuck?
You play God Eater for the missions, for the Aragami slaying. Not for the God Awfull story.
Even MonHun has a better story, and that story is told using only textboxes in the mainhub.
>>336463756
But I did.
It's honestly a decent but overrated serie.
Planned on double dipping but with the lack of JP voices and now this, I won't.
>>336468537
You also play it for the qt japanese fashion clothing, which will be censored
>>336468537
Good goy. Dont forget to buy both games. They need all the help.
Idiots on Reddit already banging the "you actually care about this? Must mean you're a deviant pervert" drum against anyone concerned about this.
Wonder if they'd get it when stuff they care about gets cut or altered
>>336465228
Sometimes, reputation>>>immediate profit
Can anyone explain to me what's the point of defending any kind of censorship? What's in it for you?
>>336468786
I guess they're gonna be playing the waiting game then
>>336468849
Probably because nothing I care about is gone
>>336468786
They did care when someone spread the rumor of some gay character being censored in FE. I remember going there to check out their reaction and everyone was up in arms saying how it's not fair and crying about the censorship. While others were laughing at them saying that's karma for shitting on others wanting headpatting back.
>>336469025
But that's not a reason to defend it. I don't care about Souls games, but I don't go shitposting and expressing my opinion on something I don't care about.
>>336469025
That's such a selfish and flawed way of thinking, soon the day will come when something you do care about is gone and what then? You'll be alone to bitch about it because everyone else was silenced.
I have to say the only english dub I ever liked was Catherine's. I think Fatlus did a great job with it.
>>336469135
I'm not defending it. I just don't care because it's never anything other than lewd costumes or some other shit.
>>336469209
>soon the day will come when something you do care about is gone
Yes, Soon™. We'll find out when that day comes, despite it probably never happening.
>>336463950
>facts aren't important, you should take every rumor you hear at face value
>>336469703
>rumor
Have you even watched that stream? Bamco confirmed it themselves.
>>336469703
>facts aren't important, you should take every rumor you hear at face value
It's not a rumor though, they confirmed censorship, did you even read his post? Someone else already noticed they removed any references to Lindow smoking from the OP.
I don't really care.
Knew I was going to get this game when they confirmed no JP voices. Not like I care about hunting shit games anyway.
I think it's finally time to start learning Japanese.
>>336469808
>>336469837
Some dipshit saying "totes censorship guys" is not a confirmation. Removing depictions of smoking is not censorship. You people are paranoid retards
>>336467219
Even dual audio releases are sometimes lacking because of changes made for the new dub. So if the situation was reversed, I wouldn't be complaining about the lack of an audio track I have no interest in listening to.
>>336468510
The use of ellipsis, which was probably brought over from the Japanese text, seems a bit odd. I would change the positioning so they were either at the beginning of the sentence or in the middle. Also, that use of also seems extraneous. I haven't played it though, so maybe in context it works better. The official translation is puerile, so I'd take an "off" fan translation any day.
>>336470359
>Some dipshit saying "totes censorship guys" is not a confirmation
It was in a fucking livestream hosted by Namco Bandai US and they confirmed that edits would be made to the game to keep an age rating. Jesus tap dancing christ you are an absolute moron. And yes that part about removing the smoking to prevent parents from getting mad is indeed censorship.
>>336470359
>Removing depictions of smoking is not censorship
But it is?
>>336470359
>$0.02 has been sent to your bank account
>>336453342
You're telling us it's ESRB fault that they censored the game to get a T rating?
>>336470359
Good. Keep thinking like that. Next why not remove the character as well. Might as well get rid of the problem at the source, hes already a smoker so cut him and the characters around him because they were secondhand smokers and the just remake the game.
>>336470570
It was already going to get a T rating anyways, nothing in it justifies an M rating nor do they aim for an E rating.
>>336470359
It isn't?
>>336470570
I honestly don't understand why they are so obsessed with a rating because most people don't even care about it, they will buy a game regardless of it's rating.
>>336461356
This is damage control after nobody bought Zestiria they need to suck off the west as best they can
>>336458514
I don't remember, did god eater 1 have jap audio?
Going to be another one of those things that 99% of players will never notice, but there will always be that 1% who gets another 10% riled up because their autism senses went off
And who gives a shit about smoking. It's a disgusting habit and shouldn't be promoted anywhere
>>336470752
Zestiria was censored?
>>336470648
What I mean is even if it could get the game a M, then so be it. It's not like AO which is death sentence.
>>336470782
No.
English only, they even credited the voice actor which AFAIK is quite rare for Bamco
>>336468715
Considering they barely brought it over at all, yes
>>336470891
No it wasn't. They left the lewd loli in along with all the child murders.
>>336470870
>And who gives a shit about smoking. It's a disgusting habit and shouldn't be promoted anywhere
While I don't smoke nor do I enjoy being around people that smell like cigarettes, it is a trait of the character that I do not wish to see cut.
>>336470819
>>336470930
Don't know why anyone expected it for 2 then
>>336470870
>X character smokes
>suddenly means it's automatically a tabaco ad that's telling kids to smoke.
That's retarded logic there. The kind that comes from retarded parents.
>>336470870
how many people in this thread do you think will buy this game, and how many people in this thread do you think will play this game?
>>336470989
Nice to know, was planning to buy it and was worried that it may have been censored.
>>336470782
No.
It wasn't too bad though. I think what was more griping was the fact that they changed the title to Gods Eater because "muh concerned soccer moms."
>>336470870
Kids are already smoking, drinking and having sex. There's no stopping it. Cutting it out from the game is just beyond stupid.
>>336471015
They hoped things would have changed by now given how localizations with jp audio have been pretty common recently apart from dub only jews like Fatlus
If it's on PC can't we just revert the changes?
>>336471113
Nothing was censored afaik. No idea why they went full-retard and decided to censor God Eater. Though then again I wouldn't buy the game anyway since it's english dub only.
>>336471215
Probably.
>>336471215
You need willing and competent people for that, small niche game have little to no mod unless it's a very zealous community.
>>336471215
If someone bothers with it, sure. If it's gonna be costumes someone'll probably do it sooner or later.
>>336453117
Aren't these games like REALLY old? Are they getting re-released?
>>336471394
Not necessarily, we can bank on Scamco's own incompetence.
Tales of Zestiria's western version had an altered intro cutscene, the vocals from the Japanese version were removed because of licencing issues.
However, in the 1.0 version of the game they left the original movie file in the game and all you had to do was open the folder and swap the names of both files to revert the change.
They patched this pretty quickly but by then people already had the original file backed up.
>>336471497
Resurrection came out in oct 2015 and 2 rage burst came out in Feb 2015
>>336471564
At least it was a decent port unlike Symphonia...
>>336471564
It will depend on what's being changed then.
>>336471497
Sort of. Resurrection is a recent HD remaster of the first game made for the PS4 that's getting localised. Rage Burst is an enhanced version of the second game that came out like a year ago but never got localised until now.
The series is actually quite popular in Japan.
>>336471740
>Decent
>Locked at 30 FPS
>"Durr the engine, we can't do anything!"
>Two days later modders drop a 60 FPS patch
>>336471015
The thing is Bamco has been releasing lots of games with Japanese voice only (One Piece, Digimon, Project x Zone, SAO etc)
Naruto series & recent release of Tales games also got dual audio so the Japanese voices is still there.
Then you got God Eater 1 & 2 with english voice only. And what's more surprising is Bamco actually retranslated the english script & rerecorded the english voice for Resurrection.
>>336462090
>waifufagging over VAs
Kill yourself.
>>336471812
>The series is actually quite popular in Japan.
And the waifus played a big role in this.
I don't think that the game would be as popular without Alisa for exemple.
>>336471854
to be fair, the framework for 60FPS was already in engine and there is still lockups in cutscenes when 60 is on
it looks like they tried and ran into deadlines
>>336465665
Could be worse, could be done by working designs/gaijinworks.
>>336472071
I'm just glad Bearsy is being designed with 60 FPS in mind from the beginning.
No idea why they think supporting the PS3 is still a good idea though.
>>336463465
Playing GTA isn't okay because it's shit.
>>336472060
Oh for sure.
>>336470648
>nothing in it justifies an M rating
Persona 3/4 managed to get M ratings
>>336472434
Mara alone would justify a M rating.
>>336472434
hmmm, good point.
>>336472434
Solely because of Mara.
Any SMT with Mara gets an M rating.
>>336453117
i wouldn't mind english dub if they actually gave alisa a russian voice actress
>>336472434
Because some of the demons have tits showing
>>336472194
I'm pretty sure that there are still way more PS3's floating around in use in Japan than PS4's, so continuing support just for Japan makes sense for sales. I guess they are banking on PS4 gaining more traction in the next year or two when tales of whateverisnextia comes out
>>336453342
I don't really see how. You can get away with a ton of shit with a T rating.
>>336453417
>Japanese rating board is more strict than the west one.
For violence. Not for sexuality. That said, I don't buy for a minute that this was for rating unless they're aiming for E10 instead of T. Bamco has released plenty of games with fanservice and gotten T ratings, including Zesty with some skimpy DLC outfits, and Digimon with skimpy outfits on characters and digimon. There may be a bit more skin in some of the god eater outfits, but I can't imagine that'd push the game to M.
So either they're aiming for a rating lower than T or they're lying to cover their bases. Or worst, they changed the game before even getting rated for fear of the rating being pushed, instead of doing it after they were told they'd get an M.
>>336472674
Censored since a long while.
Diana originally had nipple on all of her tits in her concept art but they were removed from all version of their game starting... I don't remember when, actually I don't think they ever showed a nipple.
>>336472835
>Not for sexuality.
They are but in a different way from us.
All the dicks in GTA V were removed and the tits in the Witcher 3.
Nipples and genitalia are no good.
Over here, tits and dicks are fine, but anime boobs are over the line.
>>336472835
>Or worst, they changed the game before even getting rated for fear of the rating being pushed, instead of doing it after they were told they'd get an M.
This is probably it, they're being all around cheapskates for this localization.

Actually, Naruto series had Quadruple audio in LATAM (English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese)
>>336465204
It's a shit game, but people like it for some reason. Who are you to judge?
>>336472978
Well, yeah, but that has more to do with their regular laws than game ratings.
Japan has no issues allowing cameltoes and skintight outfits in basically any rated game. I did forget that nipples are a no-go on consoles, though. The games that come from Japan never had them so I forgot that they'd probably need to be removed from Western games going over there.
>>336472892
False. Satan is Persona 4 still has all the nipples showing.
