Star Ocean 5 launch live stream started
they are showing potato skills now
>>332509394
Ded thread
censorship killed our hype
comments from the first streamers are pretty positive, i think SO is making a comeback
It's hilarious how they changed Miki's panties which you have to purposely move the camera to see, but leave Fiore unchaged.
I think the worst part for japs is knowing it was censored right at release.
>>332510602
this isn't Nintendo. nothing will be censored
>>332511313
That's because Miki is a "young teen".
What's retarded is that they could have avoided this retarded bullshit by making her 18.
Hell, if NIS does it for their 5000 billion zillion year old lolis, SE can do it as well.
>>332511410
Western society censored it.
>>332511313
>>332511351
>>332511713
ok fuck everything just cached up to the news I thought it was a bait
holy shit even the japanese version got censored I want to see their reaction now
hopefully Zestiria level of shit storm or worse
dead game
>>332511448
She is 18.
>>332512021
That's what happens when you get all your news from /v/, dipshit.
>>332512217
Then what's the problem, again?
For fuck's sake, their idols do bikini shots at 16.
>>332511448
They did not censor anything illegal. They censored to avoid offending western sensibilities.
Combat looks kind of hard, considering how much you're asked to keep track of. I hope the AI for characters I'm not actively controlling is good.
Western gayming ruined it
>>332512361
That's a problem
What the fuck is going on?
>>332512470
A fuck load of character switching and posing
Going into work in an hour so I can't play it until tonight.
>>332511313
Well they still want to sell the game ya know.
>>332512021
>I want to see their reaction now
>dat upskirt
>7 members party in an ARPG
What the fuck
Is your anus ready for Platium?
So is this the confirmed release date (June 28th)?
>>332512635
>getting this angry over a character wearing a different type of panties
This is fucking ridiculous.
It looks way better than Zestiria already
>>332512936
I know, sjws are just insane
>>332512635
>Slaughtering people is bad!
>Rape and incest? PERFECT
fucking nanking deniers
>>332512795
did they even leak the trophies yet?
I want the LE..
>>332512936
censorship motherfucker
>>332512724
Welcome to Valhalla Knights.
>>332513004
I'm not defending sjws or the developer.
This entire thing is retarded.
>Not the guys but the girls are the one checking out the figure's panty.
>>332512936
It's because nothing good comes from listening to a bunch of white, American, whiners.
If there were people with actual concerns, like a scene that triggers epilepsy in a game, or features content that would actually be offensive to everyone, it would be another story.
>>332512936
>developers have no pride and confidence in their product
>not getting angry
The new title of this game should be "Star Ocean 5: Faithlessness" because they've washed their integrity down the drain
>>332513317
This
Why are they sexualizing the potato
>>332512936
>>332513004
>>332513042
ITT: anon's that do not understand why people in Japan get upset about changes being made to the way they do things because people outside Japan start complaining about media they don't actually consume.
>>332509394
>only one girl using melee weapons
>rest are magic users
every fucking time
>>332513317
It's a Japanese game for otakus. Where the handsome male characters are asexual, and not a threat to the purity of the player's waifus.
>>332513042
>hurr durr muh rules of war
War is war, there are no rules or morals
>All the posters and calender
Fuck, I want those.
>>332513404
I was saying Japan is right
Prudish western puritans are a plague that should have been eradicated centuries ago
Instead Europe allowed them to flee and create a country in the new world
This is Europe's fault
>>332513654
It's no ones fault but the developers, if they didn't change the panties literally nothing would have happened
Recognizing problems where there are none lies solely in the hands of the developers
>>332513654
America was backstabbed so many times by European nations, that America was ready to kill anyone whom even stepped foot on their land.
>>332512801
Can we preorder it digitally and get the same things?
>>332513765
>Developers
Try publisher
>>332513809
It shouldn't have been created like this in the first place
I hope this comes to PC like zestiria but I don't like how they sexualized that one mage character
this is the first time this would actually bother a little bit while playing, to have this stripper run around and be part of your party
>>332513893
She's just cute, stop being a prude
If you don't like it don't buy it
>>332513885
If the publisher says "change this for europe it would be better" you say "no, we are confident in the product" so it ultimately lies in the hands of the developers/modelers
>>332513893
Don't worry you're not getting it anyway
>>332513527
That doesn't make any sense
>>332513765
I don't buy that they "recognized a problem" or that they are "aware of the Western consumers".
This genuinely feels like them just changing something so that they can say "look we are there for everyone" alongside wanting to ride the free "this is censorship" train for free advertisement. That's the reason they also changed it in Japan, so this story would blow up.
If this wasn't true they would have gone after Fiore and not changed anything in the JP version because nobody there gives a fuck. This is just sleazy marketing from Square.
>>332509394
DO NOT CONSORT FOREIGNERS
>>332513893
>stripper
that's how her magic works, each square on her dress represents a magical curse for her to use in battle
please don't judge a character without knowing anything
>>332513353
>2 inches of underwear
>integrity
Come on, man. And to be fair, the potato is obviously not supposed to be a sexy or even particularly attractive character.
>>332512801
Is real? Source?
>>332514308
Squeenix preorder site.
>>332514141
That's some Quiet level bullshit, but atleast she actually looks good and is interesting
>>332514098
This is a possibility as well, but I think this time it caused more harm because of all the cancelled pre-orders
Have they announced a patch to restore the original already? It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to get the lost money back, but knowing Japs they still won't buy it
>>332514016
And publishers can't force the devs to do it?
>>332514308
Of course it isn't.
>>332514376
Do you have a single source to back that up
>>332512801
Is this all there is? There was like 5 different versions in Japan with figs and posters and cds, there better be plans to bring that shit over here too.
To me it sounds alot like the devs just wanted to change it for the sake of changing and are now blaming is to the west.
Bunch of xenophobic weebs
>>332514514
backing what up? the cancelled pre-orders? you can see the reaction here >>332512635
>>332512635
man, their reactions were lame. even in 2ch it wasnt even half of Zestiria shitstorm and threats just some comments here and there
I cant believe Japan eat this up. all hope is lost
this is the second time they surprise me this year the first was the NTR in erased
they laughed and called anyone who talk about the NTR a gajin
>>332514514
Hope they get Tales of Zesteria treatment.
>>332512801
>no only on Playstation
This is going to be like DQH.
>>332509394
That's nice, but I don't support panty censorship
>>332514558
It's just going to further encourage devs to not release games overseas. The next three years will be telling of this.
>>332514720
>a jpeg is a source
Unless i see a news source or some figures, there word is as good as anyone elses on this website who rpetend to play games
>>332514798
Beg more
>>332514781
>Tales of Zesteria treatment.
I really hope this happen too
star ocean staffs laughed at Zestiria and keep shitting indirectly and they said they wont do the same mistakes
it will be gold if they got the same treatment
>>332514735
Zestiria was a bait and switch
This is a change of underwear
It would be insane if they actually reacted more to this
>>332514886
All I can guarantee you is that censorship or pandering to a minority never leads to more sales, especially in Japan,
Japanese people are usually very adamant and go through with what they say, in comparison to the empty threats made on western forums
>>332515090
>star ocean staffs laughed at Zestiria and keep shitting indirectly
I thought that was in regard to SO4?
They made some panties you can visibly see only by moving the camera under her skirt 2cm bigger, you can still see her panties, they are just 2cm bigger now
How the fuck is this even a thing? If no one told you faggots about this you would have never even known anything
>>332515126
yeah Zestiria and especially baba deserved everything
but this is also the first time a japanese game got censored in Japan for the sake of the western audience
I cant believe they let this shit pass
>>332509394
Wasn't the first one redone on PSP?
What is the best order to play this series?
>>332515286
>true seamless battles
>No story based DLC
>7 characters on screen at once
>>332515490
Oh yeah. Right.
>>332515398
>this is also the first time a japanese game got censored in Japan for the sake of the western audience
uhuh, I guess you forgot Street Fighter with mika's ass slap that was censored for all versions of the game
this isn't the first time and it won't be the last
tone it down
>>332515398
Its probably trying to get the same response that doax3 got tbhonest. Thats why the change was so insignificant. This game was not going to sell well regardless of this puny change. They are getting free publiciry so thats gonna get more exposure and sales.
Mark my words this one isnt about western culture.
>>332515615
http://nichegamer.com/2016/03/28/square-enix-gave-star-ocean-5s-miki-bigger-panties-in-fear-of-western-criticism/
n the interview, Star Ocean 5 character designer Akira Yasuda, director Hiroshi Ogawa, and producer Shuichi Kobayashi revealed that not only is the studio aware of western criticism of revealing female character designs, they’ve made changes to the game because of that very same western criticism.
Recently, there’s been a lot of flak from overseas countries saying that if you put teens in ‘sexual’ underwear it’s not good,” said Kobayashi. “So we increased the amount of clothing.”
“How distressing (laughs),” Ogawa said in a follow up.
>>332515340
so why did they invest time to change such a trivial thing?
>>332515574
>bonita
>2p jiggle glitch still in the game
>nipple bumps
>bikini alternate costume
>jiggle on characters
Theres probably more suggestive crap in this current street fighter than there has been in the past.
>>332515781
>missing tbe point of the scape goat
Please dont be naive
>>332515615
but doax3 did the absolute opposite by making you feel like you're fighting for freedom when you import it
>>332515286
other than the seamless battle system they said they wont do anything that anger their fans like some games
which it's obvious they meant zestiria
it was at the time when Alisha shit storm was still strong
>>332515821
Okay
Mika's ass slap was still censored
just like a pair of panties on miki's butt
>every SO thread will now be about this "controversy"
Fuck everything.
>>332516102
Everything is censored. Good luck trying to unprove that one.
>>332516197
It'll blow over.
>>332515461
Star ocean 4-> star ocean 2 original-> star ocean 3. PSP remake of 3 is broken, remake of 1 i havent played.
>>332516205
phew!
good thing I wasn't trying to prove that
>>332516319
meant remake of 2, my bad
>>332512795
>caring about getting platinums
I'll complete all the content worth completing. I won't be getting all the battle trophies if they're back again or anything like that because there's usually stupid shit, like "kill x super boss at level 1" or "play 100 hours in combat as x character"
>>332516284
No, it actually won't. It'll just evolve from shitposting about censorship to shitposting about how the localization for this was "NoA'd" or other things.
>>332516974
It will anon.
You think people are keep bringing this up when SO5 actually finally comes over here?
>>332512795
I don't even have trophies enabled, I don't see the point of a text popup when I do soemthing.
If there is a some action which gives me an actual reward ingame that's what I'll try to pursue
>no more comfy upskirt sessions with devs having a laugh
Bleh
>>332517106
Yes? Because the same people that try and have FE threads on here are flooded with the same shit the threads had months ago. God damn you must have some kind of crazy regressive memory or something. Just like the bit with Overwatch, Bravely Second, and any other game touched by "localization", it will always be brought up here whenever there's a thread about it.
>>332517267
Funny enough, that probably caused them to alter Miki.
>>332517292
>FE
Drowned out by people who talk about the game more now.
>Overwatch
Nobody gave a shit about other then the fat chick prior to that whole mess.
>Bravely Second
Gameplay discussion.
>>332517513
>Drowned out by people who talk about the game more now.
I've never seen anyone talk about anything other than this shitty game's waifus and face rubbing removal
>>332517292
The babies stopped once Xenoblade actually released.
You should be happy it's coming out this summer and not in December.
>>332517713
When you have three separate games and only one of them is any good from a pure gameplay viewpoint. There really isn't much else to say.
Bet that artbook will be censored again like in Bravely Second
>>332513893
Magicians with strong symbology like to show off their tattoos because it's a sign of social standing. It's pretty normal in Star Ocean.
>>332517292
FE and BD were huge changes
Overwatch isn't out yet
Once SO5 comes out the censorship boogieman will just be shit bait posts.
Alternative costumes fucking when
>>332520296
They probably would have said something by now if there were any
