Forums - Nintendo - Square Enix does it Again! West gets censored version of DQIV

I haven't seen this much unfounded, unwarranted and illogical hatred for a company on these boards since... well since Onimusha12 and Capcom.


You really have a knack for unjustified rage Oni.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

How is this thread even bad? i don't know what you people are freaking out over.

Square took a feature out of this game to make it more kiddy friendly and you're wrong Cactus, it is important, the Dragon Quest Games are known for their flavorful characters.

 In a strange twist of irony, people are freaking out because you don't know what you are freaking out over. You created this thread bitching about a "problem" that you couldn't even explain. You went on a long winded rant about how Square-Enix sucks but didn't actually know what they did wrong to create your own rage! Infact everything you posted originally seems to have been proven false, and the only missing feature is one you assume is critical to the series, and to the game that you have probably never played.

you could learn japanese and import the damn game instead of bitchin.... i thank S-E for finally getttin DQ games to america :)



They cut out 'Party Talk' from the Western Release of DQIV (http://tinycartridge.com/post/50062460/dqiv-us-eu-missing-party-talk-feature) which comprises a great deal of the games dialogue. That's been confirmed. This has been removed fromt he game. This is not why I dislike Square-Enix, it is just a new factor in why I don't care for them, forgive me for turning this news item into an excuse to complain about them but that doesn't excuse the fact that this inadequecy in content still exists. Don't act like this is baseless rage. A game has been censored for western audiences, we're getting an incomplete product. That's all there is to this.

If you're fine with that, then good for you. This is not an end of the world matter, just a insult to western audiences. What's funny is I wasn't even making that big a deal out of it (though I guess it appeared to onlookers that I was fucking going nuclear from the responses I'm getting) I was more ales just throwing it out there to see what people thought and confirm the charges in quesiton and you people act like I've tied myself on cross infront of Square-Enix headquarters in protest.

Will you come to the defense of anything so long as I am the one complaining about it? Capcom cuts the end credits out of Okami for the Wii and that's just fine in your eyes, but oh no! When they port Resident Evil 0 to the Wii then that's when you're upset! How dare they try to bring their most requested to be put back into print game onto a successful platform to see it get new legs and strengthen their Hardcore userbase on the Wii.

Reading the responses in here I guess its not hard to see why developers and publishers don't take the Western Audience seriously. You'll be happy so long as you get the game in anyway shape or form.

Sure I responded to this a bit over earnistly, but calm down you dismissive appologists, god forbid anyone voice a complaint that your delicate ears might have to be made audience to. If you don't like the thread then just let it sink to the bottom.

 I already did.

And other members in this thread have coroborated this as being fact.

Why would I even be lying about this? And why are you, someone who dislikes Nintendo, asking for proof about a game coming out for a platform you clearly have no interest in?

Gee, everyone is talking about it, it must certainly be false. A big anti-Square-Enix conspiracy I do say. Why that's right Masterb8tr (a tasteful name too might I add), this has all just been made up to give Square-Enix and Dragon Quest a hard time. All this is really still just in the game, me and all these other people just felt like expending hours of our time to denounce something that isn't true. Congrats Masterb8tr, you figured it out!

It's clear you're only here to try and enact some kind of personal jab at me as you, an avid Nintendo hater, have no interest what-so-ever in this game or the platform it is coming out on.

I'm sorry masterb8ter, DQIV got "nerfed" in the West. Though I'm sure that's why you're here in this thread posting isn't it? ;)



Wow, why would they take the 'Party Talk' out? Too lazy to translate? I really enjoyed using it all the time in DQ8, bleh...

My guess is that they didn't want to have to translate into multiple languages for the European version so they decided to cut it altogether.
