FE Fates is getting a lot of controversy: two versions, day one DLC with the third campaign, no japanese voice-acting, cutting parts of the dialogue and features like the face-touch... Nintendo shouldn't toy around with this IP, specially because it's only really popular after Awakening, and it could turn off a lot of new fans if they keep annoying the userbase.

Day one DLC and two versions? Completely bad on Nintendo's part and should be very heavily criticized for this. No Japanese voice acting doesn't even seem like a valid complaint. That's a bonus feature if anything. Do the Japanese get English voice acting? IS anyone in the US complaining they won't get French voice acting? The dialouge thing you're referring to is what I'm assuming to be the whole alleged gay conversion controversy? That issue was taken out of context and proportion since it was in Japan to the point Nintendo felt the need to very clearly write it in a way that misconceptions were avoided. The face-touching thing I literally do not want to touch because if that is a point of contention for anyone getting this game, then you literally must have either never played a FE game before or have huge misconception of what goes on because that was never in the series before and literally doesn't affect the game. That is a very shallow complaint.

I know most of these are small, even shallow complains, but when they start to build up, it makes the game look bad. This game appears more on the media more times for bad news than for good news, and that gives this game a bad image, when it probably is one of the best FE games (obviously haven't played it yet).

Also, when you take away one feature that was on the previous game, you can't really avoid criticism by saying that that was a bonus feature to begin with.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
