They can increase the advertising all they want, but if people are getting an altered product with cheesy accents, altered names and even portions of the game missing, what's the point? People aren't stupid, they aren't going to get all ecstatic over an inferior product. The game might sell more copies, but it won't gain a long term fanbase. That takes actual effort and quality control. Something it seems only the actual producers of the series seem to be able to have a handle over in their native country. |
Does SE actually remove parts of the game from western releases? Last I heard they were still adding new things to western releases (then reselling them in Japan at a marked up rate later).
Last I heard the corny accents aren't coming. On a somewhat related yet unreleated note, the sad part about the accents thing is that most people probably don't even recognize Japanese accents too well so they get uppity when western releases have accents. Can you tell the difference between Tokyo native and an Osaka native for example?
