NOA gonna NOA. Still, they don't jump without NCL first telling them how high.
Can't say I'll miss this but it sucks for people who uh...we're looking forward to...petting their mages?

I'm mixed on the Avatar, but it stands to my point that I think the Avatar was actually way better implemented in 12, and didn't quite have the same connotations that it did in Awakening.
I actually ended up liking Robin. They were essentially their own character in the story more than they were a self insert. Not sure yet how to feel about Corrin as the actual protagonist, though.
Yeah wtf
That'd just be weird
...you can. You can pet everyone in this game. Or at least in the japanese version. Now you can't do anything.

What culture isn't embarrassed about what its majority does? Americans/UK/RUS/etc always bitching about how their people do X.
Alright
Hmmm true.
You could.
You can pet everyone.

Are you still going to buy the game?

Are you seriously trying to argue Otakus are not a very small minority (but incredibly profitable for some things because waifu culture) even in Japan?
Really? Do the same sex options have comparatively shorter events than the other ones in the game?

Thank god I'm not buying this shit
Actually, I think they'd be more worried about touching underaged characters than same-sex touching if that's why they removed it at all. And it's a bit malicious/disingenuous to push the idea that this is why they didn't want to include it, given that they're still including the two same sex partner options.
It honestly sounds like it's either the question of whether physical intimacy at all would be a fight worth waging in bringing Fire Emblem to the west or whether it was simply not wanting to record all that dialogue.

Also was completely optional, you can like, pretend it is not even there.
But, whatever.
It does seem to be most likely a cost cut.

It's very much both.
Shit. This sounds even worse. I wish I knew how expensive it was to localize one of these games.
I liked Robin too. He/she basically stole the main character role away from Chrom, it was great.

So the game is gonna be cheaper right? Since they don't have to worry about the cost of this feature anymore?
Oh its not?
hmmm...

This was a good read and i concur 100% with what is say here.
If you dont wabt it dont use it, but dont remove for people who wan it.
You could pet men, even if you're a male character. You could pet everyone. It's probably why NOA removed it, because they're a "family-friendly" company (read: still backwards and conservative), and they fear they're already pushing the envelope with the few LGBT elements already in the story.
I dunno man, the #FE threads have been fucking brutal.

So it's being cut because NoA is really lazy? What do western fans get as compensation? Nothing?
I'd rather they delay this until summer and get everything done than have some half-assed localization done to make a quick buck.

Not too bothered tbh. I thought it was funny that they put a mini game from pokemon in a FE game.... I would probably use it once or twice, giggle a bit, and forget about it.
FE having two versions and a day 1 DLC rubs me more in the wrong way... And we haven't gotten the EU release date yet.

Is this your alt?

I'm the real Horizon!
Am I? No. But do we know for a fact who makes up this audience who bought the game in Japan? I'm just asking.

seems dumb to have in, but also unnecessary to remove

This was a really good read, especially coming from a developer's point of view.
A harmless mini game gets cut and reduces the featureset a game has, and we have people openly celebrating as if that's good for everyone else.

You're having a semantics fit, because this is localization just like editing out blood, crosses, and alcohol references are localization. Some people have called that censorship in the past, like for mortal kombat or fallout 3 and left 4 dead 2 in australia.
Do you have another leg to stand on or are you going to keep responding to everyone that doesn't use your preferred term for the same subject everyone in the thread is discussing?
It's not about ownership or control, it's about a hyped up new feature of a game being removed from its release in different countries. Some people think that recieving an objectively lesser product is bullshit, and that localization has overstepped its role.
a clean, fresh feeling
I noted that there are still LGBT elements in the story. I think the distinction is NOA gets cold feet when there is interactive touching and corresponding visuals involved.

Just because something gets cut doesn't mean you get something in return. When did this train of thought ever become a thing? lol
it was an optionnal feature.
to see a lot of thanks for removing the feature, you're so prude, its just a silly feature.
it has no real impact so you could ignore it. why are you happy, just dont click on the menu.
honestly its bad and sexist like some are trying to make it.
by your mentality, you could censor anything as long as you dont want it in the game.
So if i dont want a difficulty why not remove it..
If its was a movie, you would never support to cut a scene.

From what I understand, the petting scenes are open to any major support. While you can only romance Niles (Zero) or Rhajat (Syalla) as a same-sex option, you can pet any dude or lady freely. Think of it as extra same-sex content than the developer didn't intend.
And again, that's just a educated guess. Nintendo needs to provide some clarification either way.

This.
What next it will be ?
Removing optional features is ridiculous if people are not enough mature...
Because we're getting less of a game than our overseas counterparts.

I'd actually be disappointed if this was simply a cost cutting measure. I have way more respect for the localization team if they decided a tactics RPG didnt need creepy filler content.

Quoting Tyeforce for the new page since it seems a lot of people didn't consider this perspective. Considering how few non-hetero relationships there are in the game at all, this really shouldn't be held up as a good decision.
