Thank god.
That shit was creepy.

+1

Nintendo should not do a Monster Monpiece (an excellent game hidden behind creepy touch minigame which is needed to level up characters).

 

[Nibel]

Best version confirmed

 

[Reversed]

Well it was a petty thing after all.

 

[Tesser]

...and there are people who would defend this and say they would want it in?

And by people I mean those of the non-rabid sort...in the West...who like things in moderation.

 

[Mortemis]

I'm okay with this, was gonna just ignore it anyways.

I'm glad nintendo is telling us before hand what's out instead of just finding out when it drops.

 

[Ryuukan]

Can some of the people mad about this cancel their SE preorder so I can get one

 

[Snkfanatic]

Cancelling Special Edition now.

Kidding of course....not shocked in the slightest honestly.

 

[Draxal]

Well that's odd. I understand not making it on the game cart but why not have it available as a DLC patch for those who want it?

You'd have to dub a ton of shit, that the voice actors/tresses might not want to do.

 

[Kinsei]

Because she's a woman with opinions.

But she's not the only woman that works in the Treehouse. I know I shouldn't expect any sort of logic from those people, but that would be weird even for them.

 

[gugeifer]

Don't really like they way it's being trimmed on the way here.

Sure, the game isn't about that, but it keeps on losing stuff and not getting it.

 

[Fencedude]

Date rape has to involve rape you know. Drugging someone is usually the start of it, but isn't rape itself...

Is this truly the hill you want to die on

 

[BassForever]

Someone also pointed out there was a fuck ton of voiced dialogue in these so it may have actually been a financial decision to cut the game that also happens to work out since most Americans find the petting minigame creepy.

 

[Hale-XF11]

yay, censorship!

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Hopefully some will cancel their preordered SE and import so the damn thing can get back in stock.

 

[Busaiku]

Maybe I should cancel.

 

[doctorblurg]

Fine with me, this series doesn't need stuff like that.

 

[Flandy]

This

I can't complain, really. Seemed pretty dumb.

This looks more silly/goofy to me than creepy ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[kuroneko0509]

Time to import, thank goodness for that hack that happened on the 3ds.



Only for the face unlike pokemon, which you could touch them anywhere.

the original plan isn't limited to the face....

 

[Steve Youngblood]

My faith in Fates is being slightly restored.

 

[Megidolaon]

Man this sucks. I thought the feature was fun. Really think people were overreacting to it.

 

[BTA]

So a thing I just learned (or was reminded of; I think I heard it before) thanks to Twitter is that these bits had their voiced clips in binaural audio. I don't think it's that surprising that it was cut based on that alone, hmm.

 

[Ryuukan]

Date rape has to involve rape you know. Drugging someone is usually the start of it, but isn't rape itself...

cmon Cosby, dont do this here

 

[thekiddfran]

Wow who does this actually appeal to?

Rubbing a characters face?

 

[sensui-tomo]

...and there are people who would defend this and say they would want it in?

And by people I mean those of the non-rabid sort...in the West...who like things in moderation.

I want them to remove it from future pokemon games though, since a more restrictive version was cut out from FE Fates... In pokemon you can touch anywhere. IE touching Jynx's breasts.

 

[Primethius]

There was a petting minigame?

In Fire Emblem?

...

I suppose after Awakening, that shouldn't surprise me but still.

 

[Nightbird]

Maybe now we can talk about the actual game, and stop pretending that Fire Emblem is some kind of Dating Simulation?

 

[Gaspard]

Someone also pointed out there was a fuck ton of voiced dialogue in these so it may have actually been a financial decision to cut the game that also happens to work out since most Americans find the petting minigame creepy.

Oh yeah that is true. The English VAs probably didn't want to do it lol.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I'm fine with changes, but I'm really not a fan of content outright getting cut out.

I guess... even though I hate the content itself. Just feels iffy.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Wait it actually affected stats? That's awful.

No I don't think stats. I thought it built up unit to unit , "affection" or something. Been staying in the dark, but I know it did provide some benefit. Might have been negligible.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

No problem with me, but the inevitable backlash will be quite bothersome.

 

[oti]

This change tickles my fancy.

 

[KarmaCow]

Wow who does this actually appeal to?

Nintendo going for the lucrative Vita owners demo.

 

[Vital Tundra]

So the West gets the alternate timeline FE, where it doesn't become a full fledged creepy waifu game.

 

[jon bones]

nothing i love more than seeing creepy dudes whining and misusing the word "censorship"

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I'll buy it now for sure.

 

[Chezzymann]

Why her?



Yes.

That's extremely weird lol

 

[spindashing]

Oh yeah that is true. The English VAs probably didn't want to do it lol.

don't blame them one bit for it tbh

fuck that shit

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Oh thank god. I couldn't believe it when that feature was originally announced.

 

[Majukun]

don't really care

 

[Crocodile]

Considering

A) It was unisex
B) You couldn't touch any "sensitive" areas

I always had a hard time understanding why people cared about this at all. Like usually even if I don't care at all about a thing, I can understand why others might care one way or the other. Here I never understood it. Why does anyone care about this? Why is the default reaction to this being a thing that existed not just "shrug whatever"?

 

[bobbychalkers]

I normally prefer content to be replaced with something else rather than it being removed but after watching a clip on youtube...what was the point of this? It just seemed so inconsequential and unnecessary.

 

[Piers]

GASP
of pleasant delight.

Seemed a little excessive for me.

 

[BassForever]

Oh yeah that is true. The English VAs probably didn't want to do it lol.

They probably don't give a shit most of them have done worse, I'm talking NoA being cheap and not wanting to pay the time and money for all the va's to do several more hours of voice work.

 

[aspiegamer]

Obligatory reminder that it's censoring but not censorship when a game, gasp, undergoes changes under development, and has regional differences. This practice is as old as the industry itself, but mysteriously never seemed to bother anyone until fairly recently.

 

[Regiruler]

Can some of the people mad about this cancel their SE preorder so I can get one

Cancelling Special Edition now.

[rhandino]

Nintendo going for the lucrative Vita owners demo.

There were a lot of games that had that mechanic in the Nintendo DS though.

 

[sensui-tomo]

If they replace this content with new content i'm happy, if not Its a shame they expect people to buy a game with cut content compared to its original release and sell it at full price.

 

[Quonny]

how will i show my husbando and waifu that i love them

 

[Miracle]

What did this petting mechanic actually do for your units in the Japanese version?

Did it affect any stats? Affection level? Etc?

 

[Wilsongt]

I can live with that.
