I think more of a main concern is it's on the Wii U. I dunno if many people would wanna get one just for this game... I don;t think the RPG community would at least...



 

But with "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate", "Dragon Quest X", "Xenoblade Chronicles X", and this game...? 

Oh yeah, though I dunno if people will want the console version of MonHan if they can play it on handhelds, and I dunno if DQX is popular...

Box art and scordes for #FE look great!



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Dat box art Henny



I'm glad that #FE got a really good score. 85% is nothing to sneeze at. I just hope that it will do well in terms of sales. I've seen gameplay footage from E3 and various trailers and I've been really interested in this game.

Love the boxart. And those are nice scores. Hope the game does well. I'd play it if I had a Wii U.

I thought they changed it before the release in Japan so technically it wouldn´t be not censoring

Even if you change it before release in Japan, it's still censoring. It's not like they always feel ok with releasing any content in Japan either. It depends on the rating they are going for.
People seem confused about the term censorship. It's basically when you suppress the expression of speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectional, harmful, politically incorrect, etc. If I for example want to say something in particular, but decide not to because I think it might offend someone and decide it's better to leave it out, I'm censoring myself. And if someone else tells me that I'm not allowed to use certain words, that's someone else censoring me, etc.

Well the real problem is that "censorship" is a word with multiple denotations and definitely multiple connotations.  Yet the trigger happy, sensationalist media have so abused and puffed up the word that most people now only have one connotative definition for the word: "a key component of the fascist shadow government."  And they thus react to anyone accused of censoring even one comma as if they have suddenly been revealed to be part of a secret new world order neo-nazi cult that secretly worships the ghost of Adolf Hitler.  

When in rreality, a certain type of censorship is just common sense and necessary to a civil society.  And other times it's just someone's own bloody business.  If I hack out a character from MY book because I thought it was in poor taste, that is MY business.  Just as I am creatively free to right a story about glorifying a racist prick I am equally free to bin the idea cause it makes me look like a pig.  And similar rights go to all parties in a collaborative effort like SMTxFE.

The censorship that SHOULD bother people and SHOULD generate anger are that which tramples on the artist and that which seeks to control society.  For the former to be the case the creators have to give a shit about what's changed.  So butt slaps and boob sizes and zipper panties almost universally never count unless they are central to the theme or mechanics for some reason.  Frankly there's more cause for outrage at the apparent butchering of Destiny's entire storyline and setting by Activision than all three of those super evil censorship actions combined.

And for the latter to count the censorship needs to be designed to prevent undesired concepts from entering into the collective consciousness of society in order to maintain some advantage or serve some agenda.  For example, a dictator suppressing videos showing freedom of speech or religion or the financial prosperity of some other nation.  Again, such little things as this SMTxFE don't fall into that category unless you really think zipper panties are the key to resistance against the secret global communist conspiracy.

 

I guess what I'm getting at is that the real problem is people react to words like emotional triggers now rather than the marching army of *metaphors* they are.  People don't think, they react, and censorship is one of those words like "biggot" or "fanatic" or "terrorist" or "misogyny" or whathaveyou that gets thrown at things - warranted or not - for max shock effect, to stir the pot of social media for max profit via clicks.
