Same. Removing a feature is still one less feature. They should have left it.Always against censorship.

Petting mini game?
I'm almost afraid to ask.
lol most Japanese people are completely embarrassed by this kind of shit.
Someone who has played the Japanese version surmises that it's been cut for voice acting costs, not because of content. Apparently a ton of voice acting is available in the Amie mode.
it's nintendo cutting content they think will put people off from their own game.
and that's fine because it's shit. cutting shitty content will never be a bad idea, too many games are bloated with excess junk anyway.
Without a doubt, but in some ways the context is different. Even the creators have admitted to changing the dialogue to fit more with "modern" tastes. The focus was a tad different than what FE4 was doing. The Avatar also personalizes it, making it so that you yourself are finding a wife/husband, thus playing up to the player a bit more.
However, I'm ultimately agreeing with you. Marriage has been in almost every game since four, since characters often got married at the end of the game. Children were present before, and technically even FE6 was about the children of pairings from FE7. Definitely all things that have existed before. The difference, however, is how it's been focused on, the tone in which it's being used, and the ways the game emphasizes relationships is far different than it's been in previous games. This is where the contention is. People just haphazardly attribute it to the specific mechanic, not how that specific mechanic is executed.
It is clock based, actually. You can do a lot of stuff in your base without ever having to fight.
Does this minigame really count as 'large swathes of content' out of a game where the meat of it is three 30 hour+ SRPG campaigns? Sure, it's something being removed, but it's not exactly a 'large' part of the game.I just hope that removing large swathes of content from games doesn't become a trend. Rather people just ignore optional content they don't like instead of advocating for its removal.
Honestly, if they are going to cut a feature, at least give us some sort of replacement so that the gameplay feature is not gone completely. Cutting the whole thing with no way to compensate is just BS.I'd actually love to see this, purely for the full 'localization' effect.

Shame to see it go though.
I think that was also the same reason why Tetra's Trackers was dropped from the western release of Four Swords Adventures, so it's not new territory for NintendoSomeone who has played the Japanese version surmises that it's been cut for voice acting costs, not because of content.

I can confirm that there's a ridiculous amount of dialogue.

this is gonna be like the fatal frame thread where some claim to like this and don't give a shit about the game lmao
You mean localization efforts? Int System didn't (presumably) decide to cut this.
There's a difference between devs cutting stuff for whatever reason, and localization changing things for a different region.
Not saying its inherently good/bad or passing judgement, but it's not the same thing.
Funny how this same argument works against you as well.
They should have made it optional, or give the fans who want to use it some way to access it. It's something that I'd use for 10 minutes and then ignore, but some people enjoy this kind of stuff.
Yea, GAF has always been "Attack On Anime/Japanese Culture"
Honestly, if we're going this far, NOA should remove all manaketes from the game as they are a thousand times more offensive than face petting.
The picking and choosing of what dumb offensive content remains and what dumb offensive content stays is very annoying to me.
You know Poke-Amie? It's like that only with Humans.

Every character has multiple lines of dialog, so yeah. There's quite a bit.

while we at it, is this game getting dual langagues?
This actually makes it worse.Someone who has played the Japanese version surmises that it's been cut for voice acting costs, not because of content. Apparently a ton of voice acting is available in the Amie mode.

I wish some people in this thread could see it this way but most just think it's "panty shots" on girls.Unfortunately, I don't think most other people have considered it, either. Everyone's so quick to say "fuck that, it's creepy and I don't need it," and yeah, I understand that the feature can be kind of weird, and I understand how it can seem unnecessary to straight individuals who already have the option to marry any character of the opposite sex, but it's so much more limited for people who are attracted to the same sex. I thought having this mini game was really cool because it allowed them to include intimacy between characters of all genders separate from the marriage feature so there'd be no need for controversy over gay marriage, but apparently this petting feature is even more controversial than that. I mean, that's cool that the extremely limited instances of gay marriage in the game are being accepted so well, but LGBT individuals are still getting the short end of the stick here. We could have had it better, but nope, gotta remove that bonus content from the localization just because people bitched about it. =/
Well that's seems lame.Someone who has played the Japanese version surmises that it's been cut for voice acting costs, not because of content. Apparently a ton of voice acting is available in the Amie mode.

Looks harmless.
I'm starting to doubt it, though it would be nice if a site inquired about it.while we at it, is this game getting dual langagues?
I hope you realize that this completely rely on your tastes, and you wouldn't agree with someone saying the same towards the removal of content you liked.
Then stop supporting them?
Yeah, this is the vibe I've been getting from those I know who've played the Japanese version.
This is a cost cut. Still sad, because I believe some of the extra same-sex intimacy was only available in petting mode.

a friend of mine wanted me to post this here
http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/0...nt-need-that-sakurais-famitsu-column-vol-485/ Sakurai's take on it
This is getting worse! I really can't be on side on the side who okay with this change now.Yeah, this is the vibe I've been getting from those I know who've played the Japanese version.

Nope. Its ruining mah fire emblem!/s
Is this your alt?What the fuck NOA! I'm no longer buying this game then.
I suspect NOA is nervous about controversy over a male protag touching male characters. It's one thing for there to be a few LGBT relationships in the story, but the visuals and interactive elements of physically touching those characters' faces is where hate groups could drum up some kind of controversy, i.e. "Nintendo pushes gay agenda" coupled with footage of face-touching. So NOA just removes it altogether.Unfortunately, I don't think most other people have considered it, either.

But was the "petting minigame" the only way to see the models at any time?
Honestly, I don't care about the act of petting itself, but I want to be able to look at the models whenever I want.
I'm the guy who started a thread on model viewers in games, you may recall!
So I wish they wouldn't censor the game like this. Rather than cut it altogether, maybe they could modify it so you just talk and don't... uh, touch.
Though in Fire Emblem 15, I hope they keep the standard portrait formats, but make live models/sprites and animate them like in the Ace Attorney Investigation games.
