They do look gorgeous. Ignoring the lewdness(which I love), the illustrations for this game so far are fantastic.
Case in point!
Its fanservice pandering regardless is the point.
Then that wasn't my point and you're arguing against a position I'm not taking.

You see pretty much the same amount of skin in either picture
What is your point?

That persona 4 golden was a mistake u_u
Scrutinizing both pictures... I'm not sure how you can say that.
And my point is that most Japanese games do not have retail pre-order materials that feature nude women, despite being pandering. That is what I was saying since the start. I'm not one who sees all fanservice under the same umbrella, but I guess I'm in the minority here.
That pretend Persona 4 girls are far more chaste than Gust bimbos
I do think the pre-order bonus art (sofmap one) is a little bit more lewd than the usual pre-order arts. But I don't think that's anything significant. The important thing is that those art doesn't always represent the materials in the actual game. I highly doubt we will see that full-nude sofmap art kind of stuff from the game. But we will definitely see the lingerie stuff (already shown in the screenshot)

Gust games have plenty of in-game art that's just as racy or arguably more so than what's on that pre-order bonus. I think it's pretty much guaranteed that there's going to be a "everything but the nipple" style nudity in-game as well. For example, a bath scene with strategic smoke/soap bubbles is 100% going to be in this game, just judging by past history.

You guys really turned the thread into shit over the retail specific preorder bonuses that are always expected.
lmao
lmao
You have to look at the source material, bro. The women in Yoru no Nai Kuni are clearly adults, so it's not that bad that they're naked. However, for the Persona 4 Golden poster, they're sexualising minors. If you think that the former is worse than the latter, then you're basically a pedophile, bro.
Yeah, let's not go there.
What.
I don't think anyone's saying that. I mean, the very thing we're discussing is proof.

You have the ages messed up if you're going to use that word, 16 and up doesnt qualify for that. (unless you mean 1 specific character i dont think they've ever sexualized ever) but yes they are minors , no being attracted to a 16 year old doesnt make you a pedo.. god forbid an 18 year old is attracted to one.
So you're admitting to it?
They don't sexualise Rise? Come on man, I've played Persona 4. Her entire arc is based upon fanservice. But we were really just talking about that poster, which is definitely sexualised. Try to justify it however you want, school children being sexualised in swimsuits is definitely worse than naked adults being sexualised.
No, he's not admitting to anything. It's just that what you're saying is bizarre.
Anyways, let's actually talk about the game. It looks like it'll be pretty good, and if it comes out here I'll probably buy it.
What he was talking about was way more bizarre than anything from me.
I wouldn't be too surprised if this ends up being Gust's biggest hit in years. Depending on the quality of the gameplay, this might be a hit (by Gust standards) in the west as well.

Especially since PS4 owners are starving for good (and good-looking) JRPGs.
Please be good.
Yeah, KT should get right on that localisation and seize the market. If they're quick enough, then this could be the first action JRPG on the PS4. It will be interesting to see actual gameplay from this game.

I think seizing the "early" Japanese games market in the west and developing a following is exactly what they're trying, based on the crazy amount of titles they're bringing, at least compared to everyone else. I hope this has a high priority and will work out well for them.

Type-0 HD was there, DQ heroes in japan if we mean new stuff. I'm sure i'm forgetting some other games, like deception ( i think thats on the ps4)
We already have action JRPGs on the PS4 out now.
I was talking about new stuff in the west, I did forget Dragon Quest Heroes though. At least DQH is made by KT and is more musou orienteted than this should be. Isn't Deception more like a strategy game?
Plural? What are they?
There will be niconico stream event about the game on June 1st
http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv222483428
Seems like there will be series of these streams with game's VA coming as the guests.
Hopefully we see some gameplay footage on June 1st.

Cool. Yeah we may see trailer in the stream. I'm personally looking forward to this game more than Atelier series (I love those too though).
I though it was Ni No Kuni
This is what i thought too, hmm.

IF this gets a western release (and thats a big IF)
lol
this will likely be covered up.
Anyway Action-RPG sounds good as long as it isn't to grindy I'm in the PS4 camp.
Joke post? This is a JRPG made by Gust and published by Tecmo-Koei...
Did you miss all of the Atelier Plus games and the Dusk saga? Bikinis aren't going anywhere.
uh, it's a gust game, not only is there a 100 percent chance of it getting localized, it's getting localized without the slightest bit of censoring

I cant think of a single publisher that would alter that outfit except nintendo these days. Its just boobs
Not only is it a Gust game, it's a Japanese game on the PS4... Of course, it will get a Western release. PS4 only sells outside of Japan. They would have just made it a PS3/Vita game, or preferably a mobile game, if it was going to be a purely domestic release.
They say he is involved.

Yeah, it seems like Japanese devs have realized that while Vita/PS3 are still more popular in their country if you want a game to sell outside of Japan it needs to be on PS4. I'd imagine Sony is doing what they can to make this easy for devs, since it's in their best interest for there to be as many Japanese games on the PS4 as possible to help it out in Japan.
And of course it's also guaranteed a localization because it's a Gust game that's of a genre with a proven market in the west and not exclusive to a platform that doesn't sell outside of Japan (ie it's not Ciel Nosurge.)

Yeah, maybe if she looked like an elementary schooler they'd consider altering it.
But I mean, we're talking about a company that localized a game that has a scene where you drop in on an adult female with the body of a twelve year-old bathing and see her fully nude from the waist up, with her nipples covered by small amounts of soap bubbles. No censorship in the western release. This is nothing compared to that.
(Ar Nosurge, in case someone was wondering, a game which outside of that one scene is pretty tame by otaku game standards in terms of fanservice/sexual stuff.)
thats why I was asking who the director was earlier, this feels like his work, but I know he's working on something else atm
Yeah, and it only got a T rating for that matter.
The Fatal Frame guy is the "director", I guess. Neither Okamura or Tsuchiya are working on it, they're probably busy with Atelier and more Surge Concerto, respectively.
