Forums - Nintendo - Rumor: Bravely Second "Tomahawk" class to be replaced by "Cowboy" class for the West

SuperNova on 22 November 2015

Oh man Nintendo....it's not neccessary to cencor out anything and everything that was vaguely inspired by any real world culture.
It was unnecessary to censor out the cresent moon and star patterns out of oot and it is unnecessary to change this. Its a shame too because the original design is really awesome. And that 'native-american-headdress' looks more like a 1920s flapper decoration, They don't even really look like feathers....

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the cowboy class just ends up being a bonus class or something....pretty please?

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.


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. 


I think you missed the sarcasm in Spemanig.

I don't mind. It will play the same. The Tomahawk thing didn't offend me, but I can appreciate it if actual Native Americans found it contributing to the troublesome trend of turning their persecuted heritage into mascots. That said, this isn't exactly naming a sports team "Redskins." I have some doubts that this would have been an issue.

As for me? I already pre-ordered Bravely Second and am VERY excited for it. <3 I would like to get a sweet collector's edition in the US...

Oh was that sarcasm? Half the time I can't honestly tell with him.

Wow garbage.

Who the hell approved this?

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


Because a niche genre game warrants a need for edit over other forms of media that depict stereotyping -_-?

Whoever is in charge of this decisions (and if in fact there is a class change, thing is still a rumor) then they may be simply opting to evade criticism from happening.

It may be going way overboard, it may be unnecessary, but they just want to evade shit from happening.

I totally get you though.

I mean, it could be worse:

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

dumb from a graphical standpoint, the original clearly looks better, they only spent money on useless changings (suppossing the rumor to be true)

Actually no because his reasons for hating the guts out of Splatoon sound like sarcasm too. So that's why I'm saying you never know with him.

I'd like not to go OT but what are his reasons for hating on Splatoon ?

Still when people talk about a boob slider and lingerie as important factors then it's really difficult for them not to be sarcastic...
