Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation)

Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

Some people are speculating that it's possible they just removed the petting part of MyRoom but kept the Live2D viewer models, removing the petting mini-game and just cutting to conversations or something new since there's a (!) bubble above the MyRoom place in an IGN video about amiibo's even though that's something that only shows up when the mini-game is ready to go.

So they must've at least replaced it with something, which is good to know.

Also they changed Asset/Flaw into Boon/Bane pfffft

Talent is your choice of secondary class btw
 
Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

seems minor changes so far, i hope they do keep the models though as they are quite nice, at least the ones ive seen so far.
 
Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

Yeah, the models are pretty well done from what I've seen, though I haven't seen them moving around, just those two images that show all of them side by side. They'll have to use them for S-Supports otherwise they'd have nothing to replace the 'confession' scene with.

ive seen some effie animated ones and yeah they're nice, just confession ones though.
 
Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

Yeah, I really liked the Live2d models they used. I'd be 100% fine if they kept the models and conversations and removed the petting aspect, since it would be a waste to just throw them away.

YOU FUCKING TRANSLATION TEAMS ARE FUCKING WIMPY WUMPY WIMPS. ALSO FUCK YOU SOCCER MOMS FOR EXISTING. SCREW THIS WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST LEARN TO USE THE FUCKING OPTION TO JUST RESTRICT THE GAMES OR AVOID THEM. THAT'S WHAT THE FUCKING ESRB IS FOR OR JUST ADD THE CHOICE TO REMOVE THE MINIGAME THAT IS OPTIONAL JESUS.
lol the feature was ridiculous and the 'b-b-but it's optional!' argument doesn't dismiss the fact that it existing in the first place is enough to turn people off from the game, so it seems nintendo cut it entirely to avoid that conflict

good riddance tbh

honestly hoping that localising fates has encouraged nintendo to take a better approach to the next FE game in regards to character writing and story.

Regardless if you find that feature ridiculous, it was implemented and some people like it. And as you said, if you don't like it, don't use it. If Kotaru is right, then Nintendo of America has gone garbage again to remove it, because lol it's too provocative? That's what ERSB should actually do, adapt their rating to the game and not adapt the game to their rating.
First they removed the bust slider in Xenoblade Chronicles X because boobs must be banned for them, and now this? That's just plain censorship of game content which is not even controversial.
 
Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

lol ur comparing this to a bust slider that from my perspective is a first-class pandering device? considering your comments about camilla in another thread it's not surprising to see where your chips fall

i wouldn't have cared if the feature was unchanged because it is optional, yet i don't find myself outraged with its removal because i consider the feature quite ridiculous as there are certainly better ways to build relationships between characters that don't involve creepily touching their faces (like standing them side-by-side in battle and forcing them to protect each other until they fall in love /s). with the evidence given above suggesting that they've opted for a less perverted way to include the bonuses received from the mode, my only real complaint regarding the actually important cut content (extra dialouge, the great character models) has been rendered null so how can i personally object to the change? i'm only one case though, the 'don't like it, don't use it' argument doesn't work on everyone and it seems nintendo understands that, hence the outright removal.

sure cry censorship but with costly localisation efforts like this and nintendo being an international company looking to maximise its revenue from all regions, it's only natural that they would adjust the game to suit the audience they're marketing it towards (which, if i'm not mistaken in the case of fire emblem, is teenagers and not creepy adults) in other regions instead of just translating the game as is, so what they've done is not completely irrational.

not to mention cultural differences dictate that a feature well-received in one region (in fact, i'm not even sure japan appreciated the pandering in this game very much) could very likely not go over as well in another so that means less positive reception, less sales, yadda yadda talking out of my ass here. that's pretty much the point of localisation vs. translation and to put it bluntly, it's hopeless to want a 1:1 translated nintendo experience across all regions because nintendo clearly doesn't roll like that. you may find that shit but it's not like nintendo cares tbh.
 
Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

Just to play devil's advocate, the bust slider change in Xenoblade X was pretty dumb considering it was limiting the customisation of an already limited character creator. I don't really see how it could even be seen as a 'first-class' pandering device, not every woman has the same bust size, that's just common sense. It didn't affect me because I created a male character but I still thought it was an unnecessary change.

the petting is on a completely different level than a basic character customisation feature tho
 
Re: Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright and Conquest)

stupid petting thing being removed doesnt really change much of anything so i could care les
