Seems like they may be trying to fight the stereotyping of native americans.

A deal breaker? Something to complain about?

Reasonable or taking things out of proportion?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Its expected. Also retarded. Being angry wont change anything though, its better to not even think about these things. >.>



If this is true then they made some really dumb decision...

Yeah. I'm sure this will cut the sales for this game in half, just like the omition of the lingerie in Fatal Frame did or the omition of the boob slider will for XCX. Really dumb, totally impactful decision.



Poor japanese games getting lost in transaltion.

The class is quite ambigious aswell, definitely not specific enough for people to draw an argument on portrayals of native americans,

I am a member of a Native American community. No one would find this particularly offensive. Give 'em props for trying to be thoughtful, but if they thought it would be offensive to anybody, then they shouldn't have it in any version.

Square Enix, please. The new costume is a clear downgrade.



Like the other one better, but nothing worth complaining about.

It may be a dumb decision but it won't cut sales in half. What cut sales in half for Fatal Frame was no physical release, the people not buying Xenoblade for boobs is not as much as you'd think, they're a vocal minority that most likely consist of less than 500 people. If you put that into perspective, that's pretty much nothing.

As for Bravely Second, it is sad because Tomahawk class seems really cool, but it definitely won't cut sales.
