i'm getting hype af for this but i don't want to support nintendo's censorship. what do?
who #FE here
>>337867293
you shouldn't be hyped at all really
it's almost universally agreed upon that the game was incredibly mediocre
>>337867293
pirate the game and if the censoring doesn't bother you purchase the game at a later date
>>337867293
Get the uncensored version?
>>337867368
Says who fellow anonymous imageboard poster.
>>337867293
You have literally no excuse to not pirate it. Go to /hbg/ and follow the guides.
>>337867748
says everyone who has played it
>>337867748
I played it, and it's not very good.
>>337867758
is it possible for Europe to pirate yet?
>>337867293
You wait a few days, and buy it used.
>>337867293
import it moron. import a wiiu too.
i didn't know you could pirate Wii U games
is this a recent turn of events?
>>337867293
Get the Japanese version, or hack the English version to use Japanese graphics.
>>337868598
It was possible for a while but Kernel exploit for 5.5.1 leaked some days ago
>>337868181
I don't see why it wouldn't
>censorship
Like what, less panty shots? Honestly, I've never cared about this in video games, and if I do, there are hentai games for this.
Pirate it or buy it but deliver a very well written, spirited, and polite letter complaining about the censorship to their headquarters in the mail.
>>337867748
Says even the Japanese, who normally devour idol junk whole. This game went down in flames overseas and it's going to do much worse here.
Honestly, the censorship autism is more publicity than this game deserves.
what is the game ID for this? i can't fucking spell that title japanese and nobody knows how to read moonrune. the stupid title makes it very hard to download this game nice DRM guys
>>337869581
What an interesting source.
>>337869581
Amazon JP has an average of 4 stars for the physical version and system bundle, 5 stars for digital, and 4.5 for Fortissimo Edition
Seems those who actually played it liked it, unlike Xenoblade X and Star Fox Zero which have both have 3.5 star averages
>>337869581
It received very high ratings practically everywhere and sold well, you're posting baseless hearsay as if it were truth. Even Japanese 4chan likes it.
And it's actually a good game, I played through the Japanese version having very low expectations and ended up loving it though I absolutely admit the censorship is inexcusable, I have no fucking idea what NoA is thinking but I would not recommend supporting this sort of butchered localization.
>>337869936
If we don't trust Amazon.jp for bad reviews, we can't trust them for good ones either unless you want to argue otaku simply didn't bother with their ritual review bombing. It might be possible since sales were so low.
>>337870170
it didn't sell well but it does have good ratings (4.0 on amazon, better than the latest fire emblem, smt4, etc)
the director of radiant historia and strange journey was behind this game, of course it's gud.
>>337869936
japs didn't like the first xenoblade that much either. makes sense, since it's designed like a WRPG with shitty MMO combat.
Will the physical version have a Devil's Third tier launch?
it seems like Nintendo just wants to release the game and forget about it.
>>337867642
How do you get the uncensored version?
Jap WiiU and Jap copy of game?
>>337867293
Not even a little interested but im done being salty, play what you want anon just dont expect anything
>>337869286
>Removed vagina bones,LessPantyshots/cleavage/smoke covering boobs/Entire character removed from cutscene
>>337869936
Not him but Xenoblade X was great imho. My guess is that wait until #FE release and make your own opinion about it by watching some gameplay and playing it.
>>337870473
They're giving it a "Special Edition", with DLC download codes and physical merchandise packaged in, which is something. With all of the negative press, though, I don't really see anyone not a scalper going out of the way to get it.
It's not like Tsubasa has a Sm4sh appearance to offset the loss of customers triggered by the localization.
>>337870434
Both the Wii and 3DS versions of the first Xenoblade are rated higher on it, 4.5 for Wii and 4 for 3DS.
>>337870667
There'll probably be a patch to swap the changed graphic and audio files.
>>337869286
Literally 4kids tier changes of some stuff. An entire chapter is being rewritten from being swimsuit photoshoot to fashion photoshoot with new jap audio and everything.
>>337870667
Go to /hbg/
There's as a guide in the op
Then we just wait until the game releases and someone patches it.
>>337867293
Pirate uncensored version.
That's what I will do and I can't wait. This game looks like Persona, only not shit.
>>337871214
Oh shit, I had no idea you would exploit WiiU firmware. I have done my PSP, 3DS and Wii.
>>337867293
The censorship in these games are so mundane and pointless that I wonder why Nintendo bothers to localize anything that doesn't have an "E" rating.
Is there a downloadable version of the JP version of Xenoblade? The one I found isn't in the proper format.
>>337867293
Pirated it and enjoying it so far
Why is this game even being localized? How can they expect this to sell even with the normielization it has gone through?
>>337871674
English version?
>>337871781
I won't be surprised if it sells better in the west than it did in Japan. Several other jrpgs do. Wii U has literally nothing else to play this year.
>>337871798
Japanese and I know 0 Japanese
I'm just wait for a text switch between versions
>>337871781
Maybe the reasoning is something stupid like "not even jap idol otaku bought this, so we need to do everything we can to make it as normie-friendly as possible." That could explain why the censorship is far more severe than Xenoblade X despite that game being much more fanservicy.
>>337867368
>Got rave reviews from Japanese reviews
>Good word of mouth from people who actually played the game.
Sure, anon, sure.
>>337871781
They probably think it'll sell better if they try to appeal more to kid or normalfags. Either the localizers or suits in Japan.
>>337872296
It's not even dubbed, though. The kind of people who would be put off by fanservice would be even more put off by not hearing english and being forced to read.
>>337867293
What the fuck? I swear to god I thought this was Chain Chronicle from the thumbnail.
>>337867368
Bullshit and also low bait.
http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Elite-Performance-Speed-P-SDX64U395-GE/dp/B00WWBCSG4/ref=zg_bs_1197396_4
is this a good SD card for pirating wii u games?
>>337872457
That's probably a combination of budget and tolerability. Imagine what a train wreck this would be if you had to have western VAs singing and shit.
>>337872697
Yes
>>337871052
>An entire chapter is being rewritten from being swimsuit photoshoot to fashion photoshoot with new jap audio and everything
That's incredible. Why do they assume that no one would be aware of this? The internet has details on everything about this game, so who do they think they're fooling?
>>337869936
>only 20 or 30k sales
>4 stars
stupid idolfags eat up anything
>>337873016
The kids?
>>337872780
Oh sure, it'd be awful, but the prevailing wisdom among localizers is that dubs sell better than subs, so if they're censoring fanservice to try to appeal to the mainstream why not go all the way and hire english VAs? Maybe even hire them directly off of youtube.
>>337873240
Kids aren't buying this shit.
>>337873272
I think budget is the main consideration, like when Sega stopped dubbing Yakuza to make it both economically viable and more authentic. Normies will still buy foreign-language stuff from time to time if it looks sufficiently foreign, which this certainly does.
>>337873315
Somebody might consider that a challenge.
