THEY REDUBBED TSUBASA'S LINES TO MAKE HER ACTUALLY SAY SHE'S 18 YEARS OLD IN JAPANESE, HOLY FUCK THE ABSOLUTE MADMEN
https://youtu.be/sTpAnLuGop4
Such a fucking waste of time and money in my opinion.
Why do you care
You people complaining about the censorship would have never bought it in the first place.
You just want to shitpost about a game that you will never play and never had any intention of playing.
>>>/noa/
Tell them how you care, we don't give a fuck about your censorship crying.
>>335541084
I actually had this game pre-ordered but I cancelled it when this shit was made apparant.
I'm still gonna play it with a used copy, though.
If she has tits she has plausible deniability.
For fuck's sake, Jesse in Pokemon was 17 and she was always wearing provocative shit.
>redub the fucking game to fit retarded arbitrary changes
>leave battle dialogue without subtitles
They gotta get their priorities straight.
>>335541272
Really? She has the hugest fucking milf vibe. 17?
>>335541084
Actually, I was very eager to buy it until I found out there was no romance in it, and now because of all this unnecessary censorship
>>335540889
>dub girl to make her slightly older
K, how does this mess with the plot, I assume that's what the outrage is over.
>couldn't afford duel audio since they had to redub lines
>>335541467
Jessie and James look like they will hit their 30's soon but they are actually teenagers
but age of consent in most of the US is 16 or 17, so why?
>>335541084
>>335541109
Hi, Treehouse.
>>335540889
>Caeda
Wait a minute, was that Hayami Saori? Now I'm intested in this game.
>Wii U
And now I'm not.
So you know the US has laws and shit right? Sorry, nothing you can do about it. If you don't like it: LEAVE.Not defending it, but seriously, I'm sure Nintendo would do all they could, but they gotta follow laws like everyone else. And I like how everyone forgot that SFV got censored.
wait why are they even going through the trouble of censoring shit if the game isnt even in english.
isnt that the goal of censorship? to make things 'safer' and more appealing?
no one but the biggest of weebs is going to buy a game not in english
has a japanese voice actor ever redid lines for an overseas localization?
Oh my god
WHO THE HELL CARES HOW OLD SHE IS?!
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT
>>335540889
Fuck that VA for agreeing to redub the lines. They didn't need to go that far. We need to do something, something big as Anonymous. Something they'll never forget. They should have expected us.
>>335541675
Not him but I'm also surprised, I never once thought they were teens, 20 at the youngest.
Fucking Christ, Nintendo is at the deep end. It's no wonder no third party wants to work with them anymore.
>>335541683
Nintendo can't into cinematic games, so they're looking for that cinematic rating.
>We know the movie will be rated PG-13, but we want a softer PG-13
Same shit, but replace "PG-13" with "T"
>>335541084
>it's unfathomable that someone has better standards than me therefore all negativity is shit posting
>>335541830
Lol you're fucking retarded.
>>335541830
what law could possibly apply here? games have characters under 18 all the time. and the media loves sexualizing teenagers
>>335540889
No one's buying this shit anyways
>>335541830
this would make more sense if america didn't sexualize actual teenagers all the time with pop music
hell, they even sexualize actual children with those kid beauty pagents
its just censorship
who fucking cares
theres totally nothing wrong with sjws
>>335541683
Because Atlus isn't just localizing the game for the U.S. Laws regarding this sort of thing are much more strict in Europe and Australia, which is why it's being done.
This kind of thing is actually pretty normal and happens to Japanese games all the time. It saves them time and money if they don't change every little thing for each market.
FUCK<,,,,,, the sjws win again........ what do we do my gamer bros?? how to we beat them??..... don't think we can.........
>>335541864
People who weren't going to buy it anyway overreacting.
>>335541683
why does age of consent matter? does she have a lot of sex in this game?
That's way more effort than this game deserves.
>No English VA
>Censoring anyway
How do you fuck up so hard? There's literally no overlap between the audience you would offend and the audience you're aiming for.
>>335541830
Bullshit theres no laws about it for games. We have ESRB for a reason and content like this is OK with ESRB and would've gotten a T rating if left uncensored anyway since the game isn't dark and bloody like SMT and it's spinoffs(Persona, Devil Summoner, etc.). ESRB is pretty damn civil and laidback.
>>335542015
>weren't going to buy it
keep telling yourself that cuck
>>335541986
yeah sure whatever you say
So wait, you're all mad that it got censored, yet you all bitch about it being weeb idol shit?
/v/ is full of retarded white people.
>>335542171
> no overlap between the audience you would offend and the audience you're aiming for
>Game clearly aimed at weeaboos
>Implying weeaboos wouldn't get triggered
Man I wanna watch NOA HQ burn to the ground already.
>>335541312
Wait they aren't translating battle dialogue?
LOL fuck this game, Nintendo is so fucking retarded in not dealing with this shit
>>335542401
Its weeb idol shit that I hate but it sucks for anyone looking forward to it.
Yeah I know, hard to understand how people might not care for a game but still not shit on people for liking it right?
>>335540889
DAMN YOU MORAL GUARDIANS

That's the closest we ever see Dredd to smiling.

>>335541901
>people actually think Minase Inori went back to a booth months later after the original recording just to say "I'm an 18 year old"
Ever heard of unused dialogue in video games? Chances are pretty fucking high that she recorded extra lines such as this during the original recording.
So how does this affect the gameplay? Oh it doesn't? Well then it isn't a big deal
>>335542548
most people who are interested in it don't care.don't get offended on other people's behalf
>>335541901
That face does things to my dick
>>335542802
lol
>>335541197
Good job! That will show them you aren't enjoying the game by buying a used copy!
This is bullshit. I am done with Nintendo. Once 3DS and Wii U are officially done, I am done with these jackasses. I have no fucking interest with the NX. For now for 3DS and Wii U, I'll be getting just 3rd party titles since those aren't censored.
Seriously censorship in games needs to be made illegal.
Good
That means she can legally wear bikini's
Damn. NoA is going all out. That's kind of crazy.
>>335541109
I think its great that people are spreading the word and making threads to discuss it, personally, but I do like that you want to direct people to let NoA know, as that's what is really important.

>implying
I don't understand where you get these claims. Its not shitposting, and to claim that I wouldn't buy the game is silly. I love Japanese games and these are really cool.
>>335541830
There is no law that would necessitate this.
>>335542802
They are actively wasting resources and time just to make her 18.
>people literally cancelling they're preorders over this
For once, the "MUH CENCORSHIP, REEEEE" movement is doing good in getting this literal shit game sabotaged with its last market.
Please.
Please let this flop just like it did in Japan.
For once, this board will have done something worthwhile in a long time.
>>335542907

You need to check again, dude. I heard that 100% of people who are interested in the game care about censorship.
>>335543065
Anon people who shitpost of "Cancelling their pre-orders"
Never had interest in the game
>>335542972
You have to take 6 months of lessons and pass the written test to earn your bikini license, though. Did she?
>>335543190
EVEN BETTER.
#ShitFEst
Embarrasing
>>335540889
I'm against censorship, specially in this case since there's no fucking difference in being 17 and 18 except in the law's eyes.
With that said, I'm pleasantly surprised they went this far and actually redubbed the Japanese voices to fit the censored english subtitles. It's strangely satisfying for some reason, even though they shouldn't have changed the ages in the first place.
>>335543190
>preordered the game
>no interest in the game
???????????????????????????????????
>>335541920
>better standards
This is basically become codeword for "I'm a miserable fuck who can't enjoy 90% of media, but at least I can claim superiority who enjoy more things and are less miserable than me"
>>335541084
I was on the fence. Censorship made me not want to buy it.
>>335543190
>implying
I don't understand how its difficult for you to fathom that someone who likes a game might deprive themselves of a game if something goes against their principles. I've been doing this for a shit ton of games that I was interested in:
>Bravely Default
>Fire Emblem Awakening
>Mugen Souls
>Dungeon Travelers 2
>Xenoblade Chronicles X
>Fire Emblem Fates
>Bravely Second
Fun fact: Xenoblade Chronicles X was my most hyped game for years, and yet I wound up not buying it. Now I just admire it from afar, listening to its soundtrack and wishing it was treated better.
>>335542312
Not in the first season. At least in the English dub.
>>335540889
Wait, why? I know nothing about this game but it's not like you or anyone else fucks her or anything, right?
>>335543390
Goddamn liar.
>>335543130
Not really
I'm interested because, as an RPG, it interests me and I like the style and character representations
Nowhere am I or ever was, interested in tne game for waifu faggotry
Even with Fire Emblem Fates, I liked it for it's gameplay, which Conquest and Relevations had going for them
How much waifu's I can shove my dick it won't save a garbage game, which is why I don't fucking care for censorship of it doesn't affect Major gameplay
Hell getting rid of Petting was literally a positive since it was a garbage mechanic
>>335541084
I hate censorship. I disagree with it in every shape and form.
>>335542721
Judging by how /v/ has reacted to pretty much all news regarding localization of just about everything it's very likely that no one here actually knows how games are developed or localized. May as well be magic
>>335543361
Most media is uncensored though. He can enjoy a lot more than 10% of it.
Doesn't this imply that NoA knows that some of its fans know Japanese? Doesn't that make their translations seem all the worse as a result? Like they know people can see how retarded they are but do it anyways?
>>335543271
What about the other characters? They go to school right?
Pretty sure Nintendo is a family company and don't want to cater to creepy otakufags that want to simulate children with teenage girls.
>>335542802
Prople said that about censorship until FE Fates until it actually DID affect the gameplay.
It was entertaining to see those goalposts move.
>>335543493
>I'm interested because, as an RPG, it interests me and I like the style and character representations
The only actual saving grace in this game is the toi8 designs. Everything else is blatant "we want the idolshit audience" pandering.
Also the gameplay is just Persona but with light FE elements so play either of those instead.
>>335543593
lol
>>335543417
>how its difficult for you to fathom that someone who likes a game might deprive themselves of a game if something goes against their principles
Because it says a lot about how fucked your priorities are?
Half of those games are legit 8-9 out of ten games that you will never play because of your fucked "principles"
Also,
>Senran Kagura omits ages entirely
>gets praised because "at least they didn't touch the titties"
>this games bumps one character's age up
>TOO FAR
Guys stop bullying Nintendo. They had to do this to avoid getting an M rating.
Its not like there are any other games about underage idols dancing around in skimpy outfits from the same developer as #FE that got a rating below an M by the ESRB
>>335543493
No, I'm pretty sure literally everyone cares about censorship. If you claim you like the game but don't care then you must just be lying.
>>335541084
Actually, I have it preordered and plan to cancel it now. Can't wait for Wii U homebrew to improve.
>>335543417
>Xenoblade X has all of the DLC built into the NTSC and PAL versions for free, when Japan had to pay 2000yen for it.
>but loses the Fundoshi and Titty Slider
I think it's a decent trade off, honestly.
Also, you deserve to get fucked over by even considering buying Compile Heart games.
>>335543593
>simulate sex with teenage girls
>>335543287
People who hold opinions I disagree with literally do not exist.
>>335543075
No it's not. See >>335542390
However it is illegal to Have sex with a minor above the age of consent if you are a teacher or police officer.
It's also illegal to produce or be in a possession of nude photos of a minor above the age of consent
>>335543417
Buy it used then. I bought XCX used on principle. In fact I totally stopped buying Nintendo games new. 3ds is easy since it's hacked. Wii U games I buy used.
>>335543579
All 18 and yes they do. Only one not confirmed for age increase is a 16 year old.
>>335543709
That's a bad example; DAN is on Vita.
This one is on a console for little kids.
>>335543752
There was a Fundoshi? FUCK!
>make it have japanese audio only because they know that only the biggest weebs will buy it
>censor it anyway
>>335543452
>Game that's built entirely on pandering removes pandering
>It's somehow completely impossible to imagine that someone would lose interest over this
There's two types of censorship
Abiding law censorship which is fair
And censorship because of a rating or because your a stuck up pussy of feminists
So far the only censorship in Tokyo Mirage is Law Abiding, making her 18 because that's America's age of consent
And getting rid of certain clothes that don't appropriate ages of non-consent
Which are both Law Abiding Censorship
Stop over exaggerating you fucks
I'm happy this game will flop now. I'm cancelling my preorder.
>mfw the market they want for this game don't own Wii Us
>>335543908
>/tv/ crossboarding shitposter is cancelling his supposed preorder
Sure you are.
>>335543013
Thing is Nintendo will just plug their ears in and go "BLAH BLAH BLAH, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING" any time there's any criticism. No matter how many emails we send, even if we spammed their mailbox. I'm willing to bet any question regarding censorship is sent directly to the junk pile.
They're circular thinkers too. They think censorship will make them more sales because they believe it will reach a wider audience. What kind of fucked up train of thought is that? Your game has an anime artstyle. You can't bullshit around that anymore now that games aren't made out of 2D sprites anymore. Your audience is already limited from that. It's not the bikinis or the underaged girls that put people off, it's the fucking artstyle.
>>335543752
>Not just waiting until Wii U is emulatable and patching it to get the absolute best of both worlds
>>335543908
I'm ashamed that you even wanted this trash in the first place. Now if only Fates could have flopped like this will.
>>335543881
>make it have japanese audio only because they don't want to have to hire expensive VAs who can actually sing on a professional level for a niche as fuck game
fix'd
>>335543709
>make character an adult in order to get a Teen rating
Sasuga NOA
>America so coddled they think teenagers can't be professionals
I bet you guys think childhood ends at mid 20s.
>>335543705
Why is it wrong for me to prioritize what I percieve to be as making the overall industry better over my own tastes and interests?
>this games bumps one character's age up
That' snot it. That's just adding to the list of issues. Its not just an age thing. This is just being added onto other issues, from a whole dungeon's theme being toned down (a dungeon with pictures of scantily clad girls all over being changed to have more clothing) despite it holding story importance/being the whole point of it, etc. Its not like Senran Kagura where its just ages. The age thing is annoying too; its just that this is adding onto other problems, whereas Senran stopped there.
>>335543785
True enough. Used could work. I just wish I could support these vidya truly.
>>335543752
I believe Xenoblade X apparently also took out a bunch of anti-men comments made my Irina.
>>335543417
>Not buying Xenoblaxe Chronocles because of a boob slider
Your a pathetic human being
>>335543705
>fucked "principles"
Refusing to support censorship isn't really fucked, though. If anything it's the opposite. Caving in and supporting censorship just to play a videogame would be the actually fucked thing.
>>335543906
There is literally no law in the US that prevents underaged video game characters from wearing skimpy clothing you fucking retard.
>>335543593
They get away with it by making their kiddy games brutal and lore-y as fuck.
>Kirby kills gods and cosmic horrors regularly
>Mario survived a second Big Bang
>Yoshi's Story was pure cat drugs
>Donkey Kong Country was a nightmare fuel series
>Pokemon deals with terrorism
>Pikmin deals with terrors of the wild
Answer this for me, guys: WHY redub the line in Japanese for the English audiences? Chances are, most people who'll buy this game in English don't really know enough JP to understand what she's actually saying.
Besides, they could easily just make her say "17" and write it down as "18", and leave it as that. Re-recording the line sounds like a waste of time and money. It's like if they decided to call the JP VAs from JoJo so they could redub the names of the Stands in the game.
>>335543816
correct me if I'm wrong so does that mean they're 18 years old second year highschoolers?
>>335544117
>what I percieve to be as making the overall industry better
>that unwarranted self-importance
>>335544006
Well look at the bright side, the NX will most likely flop and games will flop with it.
Honestly, it looked like a fun JRPG with cute girls and well produced music. Now I don't care.
I really don't get it at all:
>Japanese audio only will turn off casuals
>The Wii U is a dead console
>"OH I KNOW! LETS REMOVE ANY CONTENT THAT WOULD ANGER TWITTER FEMINISTS BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE PEOPLE THAT WANTED THIS GAME WANTED!"
I'm looking forward to the NX's failure.
>>335543709
>They had to do this to avoid getting an M rating.
Bullshit. Theres T rated games that as similar content as TMS and they were uncensored. NOA is full of shit.
>>335544227
Because the uber weeabos who will end up buying this dreck no matter what would bitch about the line not matching up to the text.
>>335544227
I'm sure if Namco wasn't the king of shitty, cheap localizations, that would have happened.
Still fucking baffles me that Xenoverse is one of the few anime games they brought over with a dub and the localization was that fucking bad.
>>335544272
>I'm looking forward to the NX's failure.
Oh you have no idea how much I'm looking forward to seeing it bomb.
>>335542721
>>335543512
>woww redub means they went back and got the voice actor to come back and revoice her lines just for the localization version. What a huge waste of time and money.
Nintendrones are full of gullible babies who think anything is 100% fact the moment they hear that something is surprising. Just look at how the smash community reacted whenever they heard the slightest word about a new character joining the roster
look at this fool already >>335544227

>even what NISA leaves intact is miles ahead of what Nintendo would allow
At least you can drown out your sorrows with another mario rehash
>>335544128
It's fucked because it tells me you don't give a rat's ass about the gameplay or production values of games
>>335544383
Enjoy your ban.
>>335544347
They could have just not censored it if that was a problem
Fuck off GamerGate.
Changing a character's age by a year or two is irrelevant.
>>335543906
There's no sex or nudity in this game though. There's no law to abide to and the ESRB is lenient with costumes and wouldn't give this game a rating higher than "T". There's no reason to censor this game, it's unnecessary.
>>335544426
But I like games on both Nintendo and Sony consoles
Censorship is bullshit no matter what
>>335544272
>Honestly, it looked like a fun JRPG with cute girls and well produced music. Now I don't care.
Nah. Get that shit out of here. And I'm just morbidly curious about the NX period anyways so again. Nah.
>>335544347
>buying no matter what
Exactly. NO MATTER WHAT.
They would bitch, maybe, just maybe, but they'd buy it anyway. Reddubing it changes fucking nothing for the turboweebs who pre-ordered this game.
>>335543752
But I like Compile Heart games. I genuinely enjoy Neptunia, and Mugen Souls looked like Neptunia with better art.
Like, I think its really cool that where you position yourself on the battlefield has an effect on the effectiveness of your and your enemies' attacks. I like the music, and I genuinely think some of the dialogue is funny. Plus the new game's music has gotten especially good.

Well yeah, but if you don't try then there's no chance at all at making a change.
>>335544234
I'm not sure I understand; I'm just saying that I think its better for the industry for me to not support even the smallest sort of censorship. Would you like a more detailed explanation or...?
Wow, what should I do, listen to my lawyers to make the age 18, making sure I avoid liability, or listen to a couple of manchildren and keep the age?
>>335544292
I'm pretty sure that's what >>335543709 was saying.
>>335544508
>lawyers
It was never a legal liability to begin with.
>implying ages were the only things changed
>>335544587
How do you know? Are you a lawfag?
>>335540889
18 is still young in my opinion
I do remember when I used to think 18 was old, so I can sympathize with kids who really care about this change
>>335544508
>liability
For what, exactly?
>>335544508
Did your lawyers tell you about the US laws about fictional japanese 2D characters wearing idol outfits?
>>335544504
WOW NIGGA HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
>Mugen Souls looked like Neptunia with better art.
You're a fucking retard if you think Mugen Souls' art is better than Tsunako's art.
>Star Ocean 4
>Meracle is 16 and wears a skimpy outfit
>Left uncensored in all regions
Seriously this was OK. Nintendo of America are fucking retards where they see something like this and end up censoring it. Just don't buy anything from NOA anymore.
haha fucking why. this game bombed in Japan and the only chance it had of not bombing in the west was the otaku kusoge crowd buying it for the anime titties. what's even the audience anymore?
>>335544389
>>335544504
You believe that you're improving the industry by not buying censored games. You're not.
You believe that censorship will go away if you keep avoiding it. It won't.
Censorship has existed for thousands of years in all forms of media, and will continue to exist for millions more.
It's never going away.
Ever.
This is one of those things I find ridiculous not because i'm morally outraged at censorship and more just because it seems like a colossal waste of fucking time and money.
It's like when NISA brought over Criminal Girls. This shit's only appealing to a small niche and you're actively pissing them off with changes that simply will not bring in a new audience. You only stand to lose with these kinds of things so why fucking do them at all?
>>335544643
You sure as fuck aren't.
>>335544387
No you are!
This is what happens when you fire all the pedophiles at a company.
Are you happy now you cucks?
>>335544438
Or he cares about gameplay/production values but also cares about censorship. It's possible to care about multiple things at a time.
I get the feeling you're feeling a little bad over supporting censorship so you're trying to denigrate people who don't so you can feel better about yourself.
>>335544508
Fictional lolishit is actually legal in the US dumb fuck
This game doesn't even have romance, stop being retarded
>>335544463
so irrelevant they needed to contact Atlus to bring in a voice actor back in the booth to record one line?
>>335544754
It's not even anything to do with SJWs or anything
Nintendo are retarded and think this censorship will help them sell more games.
>>335544460
>>335544498
You're barking up the wrong tree. I don't care about the game period ever since that Direct trailer and I'm only here to revel in the hate its getting, hoping it's gonna flop again like it did in Japan.
>>335544750
Violence in video games used to get censored. It rarely does in North America anymore.
>>335544643
Depends on what you mean by lawfag.
Although legit seriousness, its more based around that far far worse has gotten by in the US without trouble, even with lawyers looking into it (the release of the anime Dance in the Vampire Bund uncensored as an example). I also used to do a lot of research on laws regarding lolicon in the rest for certain reasons and there's not really an issue with it in the West in most States law wise, and this game doesn't even really go into that territory.
>>335544679
The point is Nintendo is afraid of backlash so they changed the age to avoid lawsuits.
Nobody likes lawsuits.
>>335544773
Except it makes sense. They use the NA version usually on other parts of the world too.
>Doing the one thing that would push away the Niche audience that this game caters only too.
I don't fucking get nintendo.
Back in my day people hated games because they were shit to begin with, not because they aged a character up or got rid of a few lewd moments.
>>335544941
>lawsuits
You keep using that word etc etc
You can't fucking receive a lawsuit over a fictional character wearing clothes. You just can't.
Who gives a fuck about this piece of shit?
>>335544941
On what grounds could someone possibly file a lawsuit?

>>335544848
Nope, I have no regrets over buying censored games.
I don't think it's "necessary" or "good" but it's going to exist until the end of human civilization no matter what we do, so why bother trying to fight it? I gain nothing from not buying censored games except a couple hours of free time I'd just waste fapping to better bait than whatever any of these games would've offered uncensored.
>>335544381
It's going to be a worse situation of the Wii U again.
>Launch new console at full price a few years into a generation where Sony is staying competition
>XB1 users will most likely stay loyal to MS and have no interest in no Nintendo consoles
>PC gaming is stronger than it has been in a few years
>Casuals moved onto iOS gaming
>Kids REALLY love Minecraft, a lot more than Nintendo
The NX's failure could bring forth good years for Nintendo or make them even more causal. What will we get?
>>335544410
There is a lot more censorship beyond ages. A while dungeon has been rewritten, costumes removed etc. And yes, I really did have it preordered for a while.
>>335544426
Not to mention we get games like Senran Kagura and other lewd games fine. We're getting a game that's basically an on the rails shooter where you take photos of schoolgirls that want you badly. It's great being treated like an adult.
>>335544589
Is this almost identical to the Fatal Frame situation where there's a part of the game criticizing how skeezy gravure modeling can be, but NoA is fucking retarded and censors it so makes no sense?
>>335542879
it doesn't give them another sale, so yes.
There are people that were seriously going to buy this game?
>>335544974
It's preparation to recapture the child market and get internet feminists into them. It's sad because both markets aren't into Nintendo.
>>335545023
Oh please. The only thing you need is a good lawyer and you can sue may things. Nintendo is just trying to avoid any kind of lawsuit/settlement of a lawsuit.
>>335544750
I'm still not sure I follow; The less people that support censorship and the more people that complain about it, the more likely games might get released in an uncensored state or fixed in a patch. This thus improves the industry. So, by not buying censored games and explaining why to companies, wouldn't that mean one is helping the industry? I'm not saying one person's voice makes much of a difference, but it does help. I know censorship has existed for a long time; it existing doesn't make it right, and there has been much progress and regression both in terms of putting a stop to censorship. Anti-censorship groups and other sorts sprung up in the past to fight censorship in comics and succeeded in making that industry better. I don't understand where you think its giving myself some narcissistic self importance by doing what I think is right in the hopes of things getting better.
Do you want evidence that companies can and have listened to consumer complaints before regarding censorship that led to better results in the end? Do you want my explanation on why I think censorship is bad for the industry to begin with?
>>335543593
That's an NoA and to a lesser extent depending on their mood, NoE, thing. Definitely doesn't apply to the main branch in Japan. Otherwise, Kiria's original bottoms wouldn't be a thing to begin with.
>>335544754
Sad thing is it is a waste of time and money. Maybe the game should've stayed in Japan because I've really got no damn clue who these changes are for. The game is Japanese as fuck so it makes me wonder if anyone at NoA is even knowledgeable about half the content in the game. It could be that or it could be a case of just going around with a pair of scissors and taken out anything that's remotely offense to anybody.
>>335543881
what is the context on this gif
>>335543709
I would take any amount of censorship if Burch could be removed from the cast or we were given japanese voices. Fuck paying import prices
>>335545156
Based NoE censored Fatal Frame, but yes you're correct.
Don't worry, I'm sure based Nintendo will come out with a new amiibo that restores the original content.

Here:
When Degica announced that the previous Japanese Vita-exclusive game Eternal Destiny was coming to PC, they announced that it would have censored card art. There were many complaints, and after seeing them, they said they'd look into it and possibly make changes. A few days later, they announced that the game would feature the option to switch back and forth between the original card art and the censored card art and that they listened.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/377880/discussions/0/371919771744716590/
Another:
After much complaint to Idea Factory International regarding games getting censored in the West, they released an announcement saying that they would not publish games in the West anymore that they feel would need to be censored, saying that it wasn't true to the original developer's art to censor and that they didn't want to do it anymore.
http://nichegamer.com/2015/12/05/idea-factory-will-no-longer-localize-games-which-need-censoring-for-western-regulations/
Your word does matter to these companies. Complaining about censorship does make a difference. Don't tell me that my not buying the games I'm interested in in the hope of making this industry better is just some piece of narcissistic self-importance.
I'm not saying games will stop being censored. But one can make things better. You can't gain anything if you don't even try.
>>335545396
Why don't you do research, anon? They've changed a dungeon, costumes and removed DLC.
>>335545396
>censorship bs
What's BS about this stuff? Nintendo has been going on a rampage in regards to censoring their games for western release. There's more to it than just the age issue, and there's more to it than just this game alone.
How much shit do you think we're expected to eat?
>>335540889
So? It's better than "she's actually a 1000 year old dragon that looks like a 7 year old girl" It's way more believable that a highschooler is 18
>>335544754
The thing with NISA is that they don't hide their hatred for some of the games they do. I wouldn't be surprised if criminal girls was forced upon them by NIS in some way. Censoring is usually a quick way to sweep a "embarrassing" game under the rug and forget about it
Also explains why they're refusing to uncensor the PC version, too
>>335545210
Senran Kagura is literally worse than what #FE pulled and Sony nor XSEED got sued for shit.
Stop being retarded
>>335545521
Oh wow, two tiny-ass weeb companies! This sure is setting a trend for the industry at large!
>>335545396
Because it's fucking stupid.
This is not the first game ever that changes the age of a character, but it doesn't make any sense in this context. I'd understand if it was an eroge or something, but it's just a fucking RPG. On top of it, they actually went and changed the JAPANESE line of it so it could match their English script, even when 99% of the people playing it wouldn't notice the difference if the seiyuu said 600 or whatever.
>>335540889
Why do you people care so much? Though I will say its pretty retarded to actually age up the characters then go ahead and censor sexy stuff involving them afterwards. They're aged up already for the US version, why go through the trouble of pointless work.

>>335545521

Wait, so they put the original artwork in the game anyway? Weren't they censoring it because they couldn't?
What?
>>335545307
I find it funny that you would rather open up the possibility of one, rather than eliminating it by changing the age.
I mean, why, because a couple of angry people from /v/ make hissyfits about it?
We all know how US government thinks that Japan has a culture about sexual depictions of underage/children, it's only a matter of time before someone opens the wound.
>>335545585
As I said, what is wrong with prevention?
I mean, does the plot change because of the age change? What? Is anything relevant gonna happen? No. Most likely, you guys are just angry for asinine reasons.

#FE is being published by Nintendo
Nintendo has the final say in what stays and what doesn't stay in games published by them.

Just admit you were wrong.
>>335546016
Nice strawman, faggot.
Have you seen this game at all, by the way? It's 100% weeb waifu material. There's no whitewashing you can do that will remove that.
Instead though, they butcher so even the people into that don't get to be happy.
Who's the fucking market?
>>335545156
>>335545298
Not really. Posted it before, but I'll post it again.
I think it's fucking shit they censored stuff in this game, and as much as I wanted it, I'm not going to pick it up. And yes, the changes will affect how some bits of the story play out, since it wont make as much sense.
But I wish people would drop this idea that the entire game is some sort of harsh critique of the idol industry. It's not. They have fun doing their shit, they like what they do, and they want to continue doing it. The obstacles they face are things they try to overcome, such as overzelaous fans taking pictures, shyness about modeling in swimsuits, etc.
It honestly seems like people are reading way more into it than it is, people who don't like idols for some reason, and saying that the game is anti-idol, gravure or otherwise. It's none of those things, and I don't understand why some people are so salty about an entertainment industry in another country that they have to twist the games plot to suit them. Nothing wrong with idols or their surrounding culture.
>>335541901

>>335542623
K-K-K-KO-KO-K-K
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>335546016
You can't fix a game that's inherently broken. Besides, I'm sure the actual people who gave a shit initially have moved on and all that's left are the same people who played the new FEs for "th-the cute waifus."
Wow Nintendo, I truly thought you would have learned by now, but I guess it's finally time for me to say good bye to your censoring asses.

>mfw the NX will be a failure
>>335545741
They were releasing the game just censored after much talk between the developers and publishers for the worldwide PC release. But then people complained, so they said they'd look into it and then talked internally some more about it, and in the end they said that they'd be able to put in a toggle to put in the original artwork as well as the censored artwork and let you switch between the two. Just read the Steam threads; it explains everything.
>>335545613
Yes, two tiny ass weeb companies. It still happened. Its proof enough that companies may listen to complaint. Nintendo being a bigger company, its harder to make a difference is all. But I'm just saying, if you don't even try to make a difference, then you've already lost. Why do you talk down on me so much for following my principles? Why does it bother you so much that I'm trying my best to make things better for what I believe in, even if nothing may come of it? Why is it so bad that I'm not buying censored games despite being interested in and wanting them?
>>335544272
What does NX have to do with a third party RPG nobody wanted?
This whole censorship faggotry doesn't exist outside Nintendo's RPG devs that's only Intelligent and Monolith Soft
Alpha Dream and the rest don't put shit that needs censorship
Which is the majority of Nintendo, so this has nothing to do with NX's future
>>335545794

Nope, its rated M.
>>335546218
>I truly thought you would have learned by now
Why? They've been getting worse.
Since Fatal Frame's release half of everything that's published by Nintendo is fucking getting censored.
Like, I'm not even sure if that's much of an exaggeration. There are at least half a dozen censored released since last October.
To think some spinoff could make people really upset
>>335546116

Dungeons are similar to P4 in that they're manifestations of the psyche or something similar. I can't remember all the details at the moment.

I think I'm gonna cancel my preorder tomorrow when I'm gonna pick up my copy of Blanc + Neptunia. I really wanted to play this game, but I guess Nintendo doesn't want my business.

Because your principles only serve to deprive you of something for nothing in return

Because nothing WILL come of it, and I pity that you think otherwise

Because you will never experience good gameplay because of arbitrary shit, which is antithetic to the very nature of videogames.

You can make the argument that the changes done here are "minor" (though some will certainly disagree), but do you not see how this is all adding up?
Those aren't five games released over several years, sprinkled between a vast lineup. This is like, half of what Nintendo is offering their consumers for the past six months.
It's getting to the point now where if it's not Mario or something, I can't be sure that I'm going to be getting 100% of the content made for these games.
Why are you guys replying to Cebruz?
I don't get why they would censor this one, even by Nintendo standards. It's Jap audio only. Some 10 year old is not going to play a Jap audio only anime JRPG about cute girls if all the lewd is cut.
>>335541830

>>335546975
You're moving goalposts. You said that people who care about this weren't getting the game in the first place. Now you're just making fun of the idea of someone caring that actually would buy the game.
By discussing bad video game news in the hopes of spreading the word while simultaneously sending emails to Nintendo of America and Atlus, I believe I am helping to fight censorship.
>>335546998
If caring about censorship makes me Tumblr (which is weird because Tumblr praises censorship), then I would definitely rather be considered "Tumblr". Especially since the alternative is to not care about what appears to be a potentially good video game.
>>335547124
All that means is that one just has to fight back all over again. I would gladly make history repeat itself if it helps make censorship go away again for a little while.

Really? It's just a line change.
>>335547412
>>335546998
To copy/paste what I've been saying, I care because:
Censorship deters content creators from creating the content they really want to and waters down their creations to something that they didn't intend. Do you not think its extremely presumptuous of you to think one knows better than the original content creator as to what their work should be like? Criticism is welcome, and can improve later works, but changing pre-existing works to be your own vision of what is okay and not okay instead of the creators is wrong and a deterrence to content creators everywhere.
Furthermore, censorship sets a precedent for what others can follow. Companies can look at something censored and say "Well they got away with censoring this, so I guess we can do this" and so on. One shouldn't be setting this precedent. Its harmful to the industry, harmful to creativity, harmful to content creators, and waters down things for consumers. Consumers should be allowed to decide for themselves what is right and wrong and what fits their sensibilities simply based on what they buy and do not buy. If one doesn't like something, they should simply not participate in it. If they do, then go for it.
If one has a problem with content, one should criticize, not censor, a work's messages. The beauty of these sorts of works is that they make you feel something, so why would you water that down? If you are disgusted by a work, that's beautiful in itself. And besides, companies can always add options to games to switch between censored and uncensored content for those who prefer it.
Censorship is abhorrent and wrong, and one shouldn't stand for even the tiniest bit of it.
Furthermore these sorts of changes were unnecessary to begin with. There's no good reason for this to exist in the first place. That is why I care.

Every thread, this retarded argument. Surely no one interested in a game would ever decide not to buy it as more information comes out revealing that it's not something they want to support.

When in the past 15 years or so, did they release five games in the span of six or so months, that had their content censored?
You are comparing policies and actions done 30 years ago, to what they're doing now.

>>335540889
Why is this important?
Why make this change?
Why waste money on this?
Who is this game meant for?
Why is this important for some people?
Why is Nintendo even censoring this?
Do places like the Mary Sue even do videogame reviews?
What were they thinking to begin with?
Do they actually think they will win anyone over by censoring content?
Is this cultural dissonance or do they actually believe Polyshit, and Gawker are the only sites that cover videogames?
Why under conservatives videogames were criticized for being overly violent but under democrats and liberals they are being criticized for being sexually suggestive?

I might be the minority but I always buy nintendo consoles. Only one I completely skipped out on was the Wii U.

Can't disagree with that. Shit, most of the mail I get from Jap companies are about their mobile titles.
>Kids REALLY love Minecraft, a lot more than Nintendo
Microsoft and Mojang is open to bringing that over. IF the NX can make porting the current console builds over viable, that is.
I want the NX to succeed, I'm just sick of these changes made to games and still having a piss poor infrastructure in place. Fuck amiibos and that miiverse crap.

If anon's referring to what I think they are, they removed the rest of the swimwear (outside of the basic towel) which did have benefits in the castle battles like additional defense/attack points and all that.

These two questions are the key. The first one relates to people defending it, as in "it's just panties. THAT'S what you're complaining about?" But those who are complaining are really wondering why do this to begin with? It's not even necessarily about the panties. It's the general concern.
>>335548002

Alright, so the translations suck and the localization changes are bad. But now you are just nitpicking. Who cares what age she is? Unless they turn a 16 year old into a 50 year old it really makes no difference.

>>335548065
>>335548069
I just want to make it clear that we have people here who truly believe censoring out the game parts of video games is okay.
So, you know, at least for you two, please never try and argue that censorship doesn't matter unless it affects the game, cause otherwise hypocritical fags.
>>335548137

Look I'm as anti-censorship as you are, but considering that DT2 was LITERALLY in danger of getting an AO, and the edits were obviously done in good faith (unlike the shit in those other games) means I've got to say it's a bit silly to skip it.
>>335548137
>Who genuinely fucking cares if she's "18" in the US release?
People who respect and want the original story.
>What does it even matter?
I bet you'll ask the same dumb question when the 16 year old character is also made 18.
>>335548237
What other option do people who want the game fucking have?
Learn a whole new language?
Yeah that'll take fucking years. Plenty of other games will have been out that i would have wanted to play but i'd be to busy learning a new language to play them.
People who want this game and other Nintendo games have to deal with what we're dealt.
>>335548258
>muh censorship
>>335548116
General concern from whom, and if this was going to be a problem shouldn't they had fixed that during development?
We are not in the 90's, at this point Japan already knows some themes are sensible in certain territories, like sex and smiling people in America, Guns, blood, and capitalism on Europe, or Spiders and Bud light on Australia.
>>335548137
It's not just this one change.
That's something that seems to be hard to get across for people.
They see the OP talking about one little alteration, when it's just the tip of the iceberg of what's going on.
And not just what's going on with the game, what's going on with the company as a whole.
>>335547679
>Why under conservatives videogames were criticized for being overly violent but under democrats and liberals they are being criticized for being sexually suggestive?
Because conservatives have almost been afraid that the newest fad will turn people violent and liberals have always been afraid it'll brainwash people
>>335548009
Yeah, I'm sure inconveniencing hundreds of people and almost assuredly endangering a bunch of electrical workers definitely fucking solved whatever problem they had with the government.
>>335547924
I'm not shitposting and I do not believe myself to be a hero. Being upset by something and talking about it is not shitposting. You're literally just telling someone off for doing what they think is right. That's not the same as believeing one has self importance. Furthermore, you continuously make claims that people complaining were never actually going to buy this game and when told off for it you just regress into making fun of people. Whether you believe it retarded or not, you should understand that people have principles.
>video games are not art
They're just as much art as film. And evne so, even the poorest of art is still worth protecting. Even literally shit is worth protecting the integrity of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist's_Shit
Furthermore, even products can be art. The Sistene Chapel was comissioned, and artists on places like DeviantArt constantly take comissions.
>Content creators are fucking retarded and need publishers and censors to tell them why their shit is retarded
Not at all. Its not the publisher's game; it is not right for them to change it. The content creators may do retarded things, but it is THEIR retarded works, not the publishers'. The works are not the publisher's to change, they are the developers/content creators works to change only.
Stop being angry with me for thinking something differently from you. If you don't care about censorship, that's fine. You're within your right to do so and I don't fault you for not caring. But don't fault me for caring.
>>335548365
Yeah, that's about the level of response I'd expect to get.
>>335548258
I have never cared about localization changes in a game as long as the game is still fun to play and worth the money to me.

It's disgraceful. As gamers, we should be banding together against these practices.
>>335540889
Why do they have to raise ages if the character isn't engaging in sexual activity anyway? It's not illegal.
The more I read these threads the more I realize that video game players have been made submissive on a level no other fanbase ever has been.
You're advocating for censorship. It's not severe censorship but it never is in the beginning. Eventually the 'censorship' will just be blatant stripping away of all elements incompatible with American popular culture.
I think it's probably the next few years when historians will agree that gaming was truly lost as an art form and entered the realm of corporate exploitation.
>>335548334
Not gonna lie, a lot of those Sony games look like shit, especially the Compile Heart ones.
Gravity Rush, Star Fox, and the Ratchet remake are definitely on my list though.
>>335548163
If they're going to make her 18, then why do they need to censor her clothing on top of that? If she's 18 shouldn't it be okay for her to be sexualised?

Psst. You'd still enjoy the games if youplayedthem.

I had some time to set up the game for my nephew, and apparently theres a feature coming soon called Minecraft Realms or something of the sort. I think they could use that as a cross platform server kind of thing.

This is a guess I'm going to make but I think Nintendo did this just to say that they properly translated their game and no one can call out any sort of mistranslation claims against them.
>>335548495
Funnily enough, Gravity Rush is more innovative than anything Nintendo has done lately.

>>335548353
Wow, the original story where one character had a different number for their age in their bio.
Real fuckin' dangerous change there.
Shit changes in localization. It happens. Sometimes it's stupid and arbitrary, but it's not that big a deal. If it bothers you so much, then just play the original version, or I don't know, be aware of any script changes that occurred during localization and mentally substitute it if you need to.
I didn't let the fact that they changed "Gally" into "Alita" for no reason ruin Battle Angel/Gunnm for me.
>>335548425

It was some outfits that changed if Lyn wore them, and I believe the fundoshi was removed (for both genders though, so at least it isn't because of "muh sexism" reasons).
Aside from that the game was intact with some name changes that weren't really substantial

>#FE's localization changes
You've found a nice, long-winded way to say 'censorship', haven't you?
>>335548523
I forgot, but what was censored exactly? I finished that game months ago.
>>335548556
Changing content to make a game T-rated != changing content to make sure a game doesn't get an AO rating.
Yes, it's an excuse that companies really like to use but Atlus USA really does have a track record of respecting the original works and NOT censoring shit, for at least the last decade.
They were also upfront about the censorship edits and exactly WHAT would be changed from the get-go. That, combined with the fact that they obviously restrained themselves and only edited what they NEEDED to edit in order to be able to PUBLISH THE FUCKING GAME IN THE WEST means that I really can't blame them. Even Tom, the person from XSEED that threatened to quit his job if a game was censored, thinks what Atlus did was reasonable.
>>335544292
This, if this fucking game got a T rating with pic related then Nintendo are a bunch of bullshit fucking assholes because they can easily get away with it too.

Also Nintendo had been doing this since the damn 80's, why is it suddenly were taking censorship seriously, when we look back at this in the future we wouldn't give two fucks about It like we did to the damn NES,SNES, and the N64 games that were censored
Its just history repeating it self and were gonna do it again.

Nah if anything every industry is getting shit on by almost every government around the world. Germoney imposition on Steam for example. This is is fear on backlash from liberal media which runs the internet, because conservative media already hates videogames, and since people got used to reading articles for free, game magazines and 100% dedicated game sites are never coming back because you cunts don't understand people need to make money to work.

Then don't. No one is going to hold a gun up to your head and say "BUY THIS POOR LOCALIZATION, PUNK"
But don't whine just because other people don't care as much as you do. It's a fucking videogame about Idols fighting with weird Fire Emblem ghosts, not a goddamn constitutional amendment.
>>335549004
no one who is 6-13 bought a wii u
>>335548870
I don't know or care what others say, but it matters to me if it affects the gameplay to a point where I don't think the game is fun anymore or I no longer think it's worth the money.
>Do you want this conversation to go around in circles?
It's like you've never been on /v/ before
>>335548902
>Also Nintendo had been doing this since the damn 80's
Anon. Please. Recount how many times this happened during any era between the Nintendo 64 and the Wii.
How many times during that period from around 1996 to 2010~, did Nintendo release 5+ games in the span of 6 months that got censored.
Why are you acting like things didn't get more lenient at the company for an extensive period of time?
>>335549090
You're technically correct because no one bought a wii u at all.
>all this #FE ride
I'm really impressed that the best momentum that piece of shit had was in the first trailer where nothing was announced other than pure lies
Is Nintendo cucking themselves on purpose by any chance? because is the only explanation why whe WiiU never ceases to amaze me when it comes to failures.
>>335548683
Tom is a fucking faggot who represents everything wrong with the Anti-Censor Brigade
Fuck everyone who worships him
>>335549042
Good news! Both Gravity Rush and Cyber Sleuth are on Vita.
>>335548902
Half the low-test fags who've infiltrated the board in the past year or two are hungry for tween girl-level drama, and will latch onto anything while they spin their noisemakers and spend hours gluing together cherrypicked posters to show why everyone else should be spewing liquid diarrhea about the thing they are.
Fact is though, they will never have another memorable, cathartic shitstorm like the TORtanic (which honestly is the very first seed that was planted to begin this downward spiral), but that won't stop them from doing everything they can to make it all look that way.
>>335549141
Hi Treehouse!
>>335548763
>Yes it fucking is, they are literally signing over the rights to their creations by working with publishers.
>learn how the industry works
Stop assuming shit, I already know all that about publishers. I know how publishers work. But having the rights to publish the game in the West is not the same as saying "this is my work". Pandora's Tower is not XSeed's game. It is Nintendo's game. XSeed is simply the publisher and translator. They own the rights to release it in the West. They have control over it here. That doesn't mean its their game however. Just because Tor Books is the publisher for Ender's Game does not mean it is their book. They would not be doing something right in order to change it. They are the publisher.
TL;DR: Publishers are not content creators. It is not their work in the literal sense. Owning something doesn't mean you created it. Its not yours. They may legally be within their right to change it; that doesn't mean its right to do, nor does it mean its their work.
Also, for the record, I've been to some degree quoting a video game translator that works for XSeed in my posts. Given time, I can link to the statements where he, a person working for a publisher, made these sorts of statements if that means anything to you.
>>335549134
The reason they didn't make anything from the first trailer was because Atlus said there is no audience for SMT in the west and they were worried the game would be held back by the SMT name.
>>335549042
Cyber Sleuth pretty much beats any Pokemon game. I hope you enjoy it.
>>335548905
>Nintendo just isn't ingrained into these kids either
I'm inclined to believe that, I have no sources to prove otherwise.
>I doubt many will know or care for the NX.
There could always be a chance, but mobile devices came in and took all the kids away for extremely obnoxious age of empire clones that shoot notifications out every 3 minutes.
Part of me hopes NX will succeed, but we'll see.
>>335549073
Nobody does this
>>335549165
So Vita/Playstation TV then? Neat. Might have to actually pick it up when I can, thanks.
>>335549165
Gravity Rush 2 isn't.
>>335548849
The game is rated 12+ in Japan, and the what's 12+ there isn't necessarily T here, so it's the same thing. Of course, I don't think you actually care because you seem to think Treehouse doesn't go through the same stuff because they can't speak publicly about it.
>>335549073
They don't get it, they're literally falling for marketing in the worst way possible. It's not bad to be critical of something you love.
>>335549280
Gravity Rush doesn't work on Vita TV. I'd say check craiglist and get a used Vita and some games for $100.
>>335549141
Tom is everything right with this industry so far. He knows these aren't his works to change, and he believes in staying true to the creators' works, even if he himself doesn't personally agree with some things.
>>335548995
Leave politics out of this. And Tom is unbanned now. Now he just voluntarily hasn't returned because he doesn't believe in Neogaf.
I bet if Nintendo kept the swimsuits in Fatal Frame they could have sold 12 copies instead of 4.
>>335548902
because it's not the 80's anymore grandpa, the world has changed, the flow of information is bigger.
We "didnt give a fuck" because we didnt knew.
>>335549250
Digimon has some neat ass designs like Seraphimon and shit, It's been a while and I've always been welcome to try a proper game out
>>335549348
Damn, well, I'll have to keep an eye out anyways. Thanks in advance.
>>335549073
This is why making this site 18+ was a good idea. Underage faggots can't handle it and sperg out like this one right here.
>>335549128
not him but off the top of my head Ocarina of Time got slammed hard
Like if it happened NOW in the current zelda we would have 400+ post threads every half hour about it for months
>>335548683
Aren't videogames rated? Is Ao still suicide?
If censorship is a problem, why not rank up the rating if it means the target audience will buy it?
>>335549257
I hear a lot of kids barely know of Nintendo these days. It's quite surprising how successful Minecraft became. It's going to change gaming in that generation of kids.
>>335549042
Cyber Sleuth has a shit localization though
>>335549373
I'd have bought the game if they didn't make it digital only
>>335549267
/v/ (Nintendogaf) was doing it just 3 years ago.
>>335549243
Didn't SMTIV was already a great success in the west by that time? That shit makes no sense
Reminder that 2006-2012 /v/ would have lambasted this shit so badly, across every website on the internet, that it would have been changed
This submissive kowtowing to corporate horse shit is why no one will ever take 4chan serious again. This is the normie gathering spot now. It's on level with NeoGAF.
>>335549141
And you're a fucking faggot period.
>>335549373
It would've sold if Tecmo put on ps4 uncensored
>>335549410
AO isn't necessarily suicide unless you want to release on consoles/handhelds. On PC, rating isn't so much an issue and games can flourish even with an AO rating, but that's still very rare.
>>335549373
I would have already fucking bought it if I actually could go to the store and get a copy instead of just downloading it
>>335549128
...You're joking, right?
Fucking Ocarina of Time got censored, like, twice over.
There are huge lists of weird arbitrary "changes in localization."
Super Smash Brothers Melee was censored during localization, when they had to replace seal enemies on the Ice Climbers stage with Tokis.
You would probably find a shorter list of games that DIDN'T get a bunch of changes during localization back then.
>>335549459
SMTIV only sold well because of that deal they made where buying it and FEA would get you $30 on the eshop.
>>335549392
You'll love it. It takes more skill than Pokemon, that's for sure. The designs look great in 3D.
Also, just buy a cheap preowned Vita. That's what I did. Better than the PS TV. Also, get Persona 4 Golden. It's the best game on there.
>>335549335
Actually, I've been to events and talked to NoA staff personally. Much like NISA, their stance is "to make a game for a western audience first", and to maintain artistic integrity second.
As long as that's the angle, they are hopeless.
>>335549294
Gravity Rush 2 also has hit detection issues and may or may not be good.
>>335549468
>he was going to buy weebshit
>>335549210
TORtanic fucking ruined this board by starting shit.
/v/ was fun until everyone started false-flagging and no one actually had an opinion anymore. Everyone pretended to be the retarded version of someone else, people pretended to react angrily to them and other people pretended to fall for it all. For some reason they think they are the most hilarious people on the planet for posting pepes and wojaks and golden faces and they get instant validation through angry responses that aren't even fucking real and might as well have come from themselves.
That is what's ruining this board.
You think that SJWs ruin this website? Well then fucking stop """ironically""" reenacting over-the-top SJW behavior as some form of intricate political satire. You think that tumblrspeak and internet ebonics are cancer? Stop fucking typing "t b h" or "f a m" at the end of your posts. You are not elaborately making fun of anyone. You are sloppily making an idiot of yourself.
You think console/PC/mobile players are horrible people? Stop pretending to be one. I'm willing to bet that over 90% of the people you detect as being a "console kiddie" are people ironically reenacting their behavior because they misunderstand that everyone else is just pretending as well.
It's a weird fucking society full of people just wearing masks upon masks upon masks. I never thought I'd say this but the whole anonymity deal is slowly becoming the downfall of this website. And the group of people that would complain about a statement like this the loudest are those who will no longer be able to shitpost for sport on a place they once felt at home at but got ruined by people doing exactly what they do, probably not even realizing that in the process, instead feeling like they do some service to this website in driving away the "cancer" by acting like cancer themselves.

How valuable is that if it does not make money?
Art has never been for the sake of art, people who usually repeat that lie usually are off to get money in a shady or scheming way.
If anything why green light this at all if they are bound to be failures?
>Censorship is the biggest issue in the industry
HA not by a long shot.
>>335548860
It's great how youknock her upin the end.
>>335549540
So, what? it makes even better sense the actual crossover given the positive feedback and the fact we are going to get SMT IV FINAL in the west as well
>>335549408
Yes, I'm not denying that some games did get censored, but to this level? In the span of months?
And even in still, the gold carts of Ocarina of Time are uncensored, meaning you can find an uncut copy if you look hard enough.
>>335549530
You've listed two games released in the span of three years from each other, with the least being released in 2001 I believe.
Fatal Frame, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Bravely Second, and #FE are coming out in the span of less than one year from each other.
Do you not understand the difference here?
>>335549570
To think, Bioware is basically indirectly responsible for ruining /v/.
>>335549612
>At least here you don't get banned for opinions.
Uh you know there have been thousands of bans for insulting Nintendo before right, under the guise of 'console warring'
>>335549468
I blame pcucks
>>335549671
Well now all they're doing is saying its a FE spin off made by the SMT devs.
>>335549679
>Do you not understand the difference here?
That Nintendo is making shittier games?
Only shit games ever get censored
>>335548425
>>335549219
Just forget it anon. Some people legitimately are retarded and are happy that games they had no interest in get censored, and the rest like being contrarian. It's shit what they did here and with most of their other titles the last few months, they only thing to do is email them and tell them how much the fucked up, and not buy the game and support this shit. Maybe one day they'll all keel over, and competent people take over.
>>335549428
Shit's popular, got schools using it and even got microsoft to pump out an educational build of the game.
On second that I wonder how they have all these builds in their pipeline. Shit must be confusing at this point.
>It's going to change gaming in that generation of kids.
I don't know how to feel about that. Minecraft isn't a bad game, but I feel like there's not much to it. I don't know what kind of impression it leaves on these kids.
>>335548771
I think /v/ just really hates the idea to have content removed from them if it was already available in one release but not in any others.
Many will assume why they didn't get thing if it already exists. In most cases it was something taken from the decisions of the publishers/developers rather than the removal being too costly to make.
It's that and many don't like to be babied by censorship.
>>335549612
>At least here you don't get banned for opinions.
Wew lad, it is not as bad as literally the entire net, but it is not 100% lax either.
Free Speech aint Free.
>>335540889
Coming from someone with no interest in this game, how does raising the characters age by one year a serious censorship?
Does it affect the story or the actual integrity of the vision for the game? Was there any censorship about the story, gameplay, cut scenes that should provoke a deserved reaction? Does her age really actually matter plot-wise? Just wondering.
>Complaining about censorship on a site that uses word filters and bans you for complaining about the site
Every time
>tfw you bought a PS4 instead of a Wii U
Lel. Nintendo clearly doesn't understand that their target audience grew up already and keep trying to force them into kiddies clothes. Enjoy it faggots.
>>335548876
the whole pervert dungeon was reskinned.
>>335549775
I just hope gaming can still prosper when these kids get older. Some might become hardcore gamers, so might not.
>>335543709
Didn't they say they were aiming for an M rating back at E3?
>>335549679
the existence of the gold carts doesn't make it uncensored. That's like saying there are copies of Fatal Frame in Japan with swimsuits so it wasn't REALLY censored. In fact it's worse in the case of OoT because they localized it AFTER the game dropped initially. And to be clear, the game was changed to a greater effect than what we're seeing today.
Enjoying final.

>atlus named the jew

>>335549679
Those two games were also part of the most major franchises in Nintendo's lineup and they're absolutely beloved regardless of "the censorship".
I don't feel like writing a big list when the fact of the matter is that a good 80% of Nintendo's North American releases had obvious edits during localization.
My opinion is that censorship is dumb and usually unnecessary. But the people who act like it's an honest, genuine dealbreaker are usually faggots looking for any excuse they can to start drama.

>>335549862
Most of these kids idolize those youtube fruitboys, so chances are a lot of them won't become core players.
Most'll not even watch the gameplay, just the person playing the game, if they're not doing that right now.
I don't know what the future holds man, but all I see is a very confusing audience and games with no release dates.
>>335549792

That's not what that phrase means, it means your freedom is preserved and maintained by people (like me) who pick up a gun in defense of the nation

I'll just buy it used. Then I can play the game and not have my money go to them.
>>335549685
They were the perfect punching bag for us, they legitimately deserved the worst of what 4chan could throw at them, and had such lolzy reactions that we were tickled pink for the first time in a while. We wanted more, we wanted EVERYONE to be Bioware, EVERY GAME to be a massive flop with asshole devs who actively punish the players for, well, playing. We lashed out at everything, then we turned on each other when nothing stuck.
Gamergate was a potential resurgence, for Zoe Quinn was a legitimate fraud. But we were easily led astray into trying to make this about "more", trying to preach about bringing ethics back into a soulless industry instead of burning down everything our one target stood for.
>>335549764
Cute, anon.
But can you see my point? Some people seem to be acting like there wasn't a distinct cultural change at the company from the 80s till now.
Did they censor games to hell and back in the 80s and 90s? Fuck yeah, but it got less strict for a good long while.
>>335549904
I'm not denying OoT's censorship, but you're missing my point. It's one case up against close to half a dozen cases in 7 months. That's almost one game a month!
And I do think the fact that there is a clear uncensored version of the game released officially does mean at least something. There's no other option for the western releases of these games.
>>335549945
>I don't feel like writing a big list when the fact of the matter is that a good 80% of Nintendo's North American releases had obvious edits during localization.
Can you argue my point, though? Two releases in the span of multiple years and between console generation is less insane than 5+ in a year. In a year where there aren't exactly a lot of games on offer at the company.
I mean please, I would love to see that least that somehow proves me wrong.
>>335550073
I see PC becoming the hardcore platform in the next ten years of consoles start to fail or become to appeasing to this market.

You are more delusional than the people pretending censorship can't effect people's interest in a game.

Thank you anon! Its nice to see at least someone doing their part.
>>335549948
I'll probably do it soon. Did it for Fatal Frame, did it for Xenoblade, and did it for Fates, get the same cookie cutter bullshit every time about your opinion being forwarded to the relevant department. Hell, I even basically said they lost me from then on as a long time customer for Fates. But what can you do. At least I can contact Atlus this time, as shit as they are with their tax and dub only, at least they don't pull near as much shit as NoA, and tell them to not work with them again.
>>335550287
How?
Its just a fact all tumblrtards want to live in a world where everything that could offend them is censored
>>335550209
In Nintendo's eyes, games are only played by children and are toys.

>>335549904
Red blood to green and the removal of some islamic imagery and chants that the developers didn't even realize were islamic at the time is worse than outright removing content and features?

>>335549945
>Those two games were also part of the most major franchises in Nintendo's lineup and they're absolutely beloved regardless of "the censorship"
Most people didn't even realize it was censored until much later. It's not like they were slapping capes over Zelda's ass.

I meant to sound dramatic, it is not even how the phrase goes, it goes Freedom ain't Free which is what you are referring to. allow me to explain:
Free speech ain't free because you need Means and Strength to have it, expecting others to LET you talk freely is utterly idiotic.
>>335550285
I'd rather consoles not fail, lots of consequences to be had there, which is a separate issue. But PC being the dominant platform for core games is fine by me.
>maybe casuals will leave al together and the hardcore market will take over again?

How many are explicit issues of censorship? How many to the level of where they're removing gameplay features? How many to the level of where they're seemingly happening on a month by month basis.
I'm not just talking about changing the picture on the Dire Dire Docks level of Super Mario 64 to a shipwreck instead of some bubbles, either.

Phew, these threads explode all the time, don't they?
While I did buy XCX, it was mostly because I was too excited about it to let a few small changes dissuade me. Haven't bought any other recently censored games, though, and I never intended to buy #FE anyway, so that's crossed off the list. Doubtful that these threads will do little more than inform maybe five people that don't already know? They're mostly breeding grounds for shitposting, though.

I just didn't want you to forget
>>335550839

>>335550839

And if you don't want to, fine, whatever, but can you not see my point?
Nintendo of the 80s wasn't the same as it was in the 00s, and it frustrates me to seem them seemingly regress, if for nothing other than the fact that I'm losing out on content, you're losing out on content, and entire markets are losing out on content.
>>335550778

doubt the line was unused, have looked into file systems of games and stuff and haven't come across something like this. that's something you come up with in planning stages not late in production
voice actors are also supposed to be expensive in japan. think tsubasa's actor is young so maybe she was willing and there wasn't a high asking price

>Wrong one, try using context.
My brain automatically goes to the Clinton that I like, my bad
>>335551118
>except he breast slider
That would have bothered me if I didn't pick a male character and the game never lets you make a second character. It is a dumb restriction though.
>>335551081
I wonder if the NX will be pure touchscreen and if that will help? It could backfire badly.
If we lose consoles, we'll lose my Japanese games which would be an awful loss.

That's a weird irony of trying to paint the other guy as racist, spending too much time being negative I guess.
>>335551151
Happens to all of us, wasn't trying to be a dick about it.

Any money paid for recording new lines just for a different region is money wasted. No reason to go through all that effort in my opinion.

Does she need to? Her husband is recognized as an official nigga by blacks, they love him.

>voice actors are also supposed to be expensive in japan
They're not, the big money comes from getting into a singing career or grabbing lots of roles each season.
>>335551248
It is a silly restriction
A lot of t rated wrestling games has best sliders
I guess time has changed

My point isn't that it's good, it's not, and in a perfect world it would never happen. It's just something I got used to from playing nintendo games since the 90's. I just don't see a significant increase, not saying it's a good thing. A decrease would be better, especially in this day and age.
It's like how pretty much all music albums through any major label are hacked to pieces by producers. I'd rather just enjoy the product if I indeed enjoy it.

Everyone knows the difference
Bill would hang out with literally anyone who asked
Hillary would nuke them for talking to her and blame everyone else.

What I don't get is why people are making such a fuss about XCX when Chronicles was censored as well. It didn't seem to detract their enjoyment of it back then. Not that it was a big deal but then neither is this.

b8 or legitimately retarded?

She is not her husband. Bill is a charmer, people actively like him. Even at the height of the Lewinsky trial, the vast majority of the nation said "yeah that's bad, but you shouldn't impeach the dude for it, his wife should just leave him".
Republicans didn't dislike Bill on a personal level, they just opposed him because he was a democrat.

the ones that sing became popular through voice acting first

I dunno, I'm no analyst and I have no idea what Nintendo has planned. It might fit well this e3 with the rumoured Neo upgrade, but there's also a chance it'll fall apart.
Man, the Wii U's entry really has my generations messed up.
And yeah, we need consoles. Those consoles keep a lot of companies afloat and different games coming.
>>335551316
they could've have easily just removed the line of dialogue completely
>>335551506
>I just don't see a significant increase
I'm saying I saw a decrease, though. I mean in the late 90s and early 00s, Nintendo was releasing and publishing M rated games. That was a thing.
How many consistent bits of censorship were there on the Gamecube? I can't name half a dozen like I can practically with the Wii U.
>>335551625
Realistically, unless the NX is really cheap, how can it go against an already established generation where the PS4 has sold over 20 million? I wonder if the Neo will even be successful?
>>335551559
How was Chronicles censored?
>>335551796
A couple costumes and no longer a breast slider in character creation. And for localization some names were changed, like the aliens called the Growth were renamed the Ganglion (a cancerous form of growth).
Aside from that the game was perfectly intact.
>>335551796
Some of the more racy costumes for the girls were taken out.
