Apparently that game is a stupid wanky idol fest so by removing this, uh, content they're basically left with no audience to sell it to. ???

If it wasn't that important we wouldn't have a 1400 post thread and a new thread every single time this happens.  I'm not saying it's okay to be a jerk, but I don't really care for that particular narrative.

Business :expert give us some fascinating insight :

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1218933

Nvidia is totally for real subsidizing the NX just to win their pride back.

Wasn't Nvidia supposed to do the 3DS chipset before fucking it all up? I can sorta buy that Nintendo would have a leg up on a deal (but not to the point of subsidizing the whole thing, that'd be insane lol.)

If video games are art, why do gamers not know what an iliac crest/curve--something that anyone with even the most rudimentary exposure to the study of art would be familiar with due to its (over) use in Classical and Renaissance statuary--is?

You do realize you are pretty much expressing the exact reason why there has been this asinine movement of semantics trying to censor the word "censorship" on this board lately by people, often times completely derailing a thread. Because it makes people uncomfortable to be for it. Trying to slap another label on it so you can compartmentalize it and say "well this is censorship that is more palatable to my taste so its ok" is just for your and others who aren't into other things, personal benefit. It's still censorship. People just need to suck it up and accept they are either for censorship or not, freedom of art, media and expression unfortunately comes with things you may not like as well, thats just the truth of the matter. If its not to peoples taste, then let the market decide instead, especially if its already legal and available elsewhere for consumption.

Then I'd have to ask, what makes the censorship in #FE's case "good"? From what we've seen, the content edits have included the removal of more mature content, relevant to the themes of the game.

A dungeon based around a character's sexuality was changed to be about generic modeling. Coming to terms with one's sexuality is a thing people within the age demographic of this game have to deal with. As evidenced by other games dealing with similar content getting a T rating, its inclusion wouldn't have raised the age rating.

They partially removed Tsubasa's bikini, as it can't be used during gameplay but it still appears when a certain special attack is used. As it's still in the game, its inclusion evidently has no effect on the game's age rating.

A character was shifted from laying on a couch to sitting on it. This was probably changed to prevent the character from looking submissive and defenseless. Unfortunately, it makes it look like she's performing a sex act on another character. The edit is inconsequential, and honestly serves no real purpose.

A demon character has black flames superimposed over her over her breasts during an animated cutscene, obviously meant to cover up the cleavage. However, during regular gameplay, the flames are gone, and her cleavage is clearly visible. Evidently, her cleavage being visible would've had no effect on the age rating.

During an animated cutscene, Tsubasa's pelvic bones are erased, and her cleavage covered by a white tanktop. This was probably done to reduce the sexual aspects of Tsubasa's character design. However, there's a second Tsubasa in the cutscene with very obvious, prominent cleavage. As such, the editing in this scene is inconsistent, and likely would've had no effect on the age rating.

From all of the things that were changed, my issue is they come off as highly unnecessary, inconsistent, and have far too much effort put into them for a result that achieves pretty much nothing. I don't see how these could be considered "good" changes. They're dulling the consequences of the narrative, they're changing imagery in one scene and leaving it in another, and they're making their own censorship null in the same scene an edit appears.

From what I've seen, these are all very poor changes, and actively bring down the quality of the product. If somebody can rationalize those as positives, then more power to them.

I don't think Kanji was gay. He just became a macho delinquent to not look feminine, because he could sow and likes tailoring. Later on he insta-crushes on Naoto who dresses like a guy, which further confuses him.

The best thing about this post is that the poster is completely oblivious to the existence of the term "self-censorship" and so fumbles around to describe the concept of self-censorship with phrasing like "their own censorship".

Come, show me what passes for monosemy among your misbegotten kind. :bolo

I liked the gay dungeon in Persona 4. Great example of building a dungeon around a character's sexuality.

Kanji isn't gay. Atlus lays it on thick because "lol Naoto dresses like a boy" for that dungeon to be there (because Japan has a LOL GAY LOL stereotype comedy bullshit). Only for Atlus to puss out on actually making Kanji bisexual or gay.

I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with their puss-out if Kanji was still bisexual. But they wave it away as "oh well Naoto was actually a girl dressing as a boy so it's 'kay." Which soured me on Persona 4 in a way.

I really loved P4's focus on slice of life and small town mystery atmosphere. Usually when you get elements of slice of life in JRPGs it comes in the form of ultra-weeb pandering. P4 I felt had just the right amount of anime.

Also, the fanbase of anything even remotely Japanese =    :doge. Gotta steer clear of those

 Sorry I meant Narukami the MC. My favorite ending was the one where the little girl nanako lived but the mystery goes unsolved, the MC leaves town and the fog seems to take over.

On paper a story about a WASP who only speaks Japanese and Cantonese fighting a Hitler who is not the product of Mr. and Mrs. Hitler (no heteronormative) but the rumors of a town as well as a malevolent Jungian collective unconscious sounds too ridiculous to be true, but Persona 2 manages to treat the subject matter with the maturity it deserves and ultimately proves that games can in fact be art.

I thought Persona 5 looked neat, but its been so long since it was announced that its hard to care at this point.

Persona needs to get out of Japan or star adults in their 20's or 30's. A Persona game taking place in a inner city Chicago or New York school would be a lot cooler than another Japanese school.

Persona 6 being in Chicago, the students getting weapons wouldn't be far fetched.

Hopefully they retire the series after 5 then, there isn't really any Japanese highschool setting left.

Unless they make a Persona game that takes place in a early 20th century or late 19th century Japanese school.

Even Saved by the Bell moved on from its highschool setting.

Always had the impression the Persona (or Atlus) games lived and died by the art direction, they could probably get away with a static setting if that's here.

And oh, Modbot closed down the U4 Review thread. Didn't saw that the mask broke pretty hard by the end, with outrage at the "satirical" (I'm reading it right now, and there's nothing even remotely satirical to it, it's just strongly worded and the author like to use some hyperbole... tells you just how far gone some are when dissension is confused with satire) Washington Post review. I mean, the reviewer doesn't like the Souls game, what more proof do you want he should be burned at the stake ?

Pretty much. Also, even if you aren't a fan of the gameplay, characters, and whatever else (not reading the review until I finish the game) no one can in their right mind give it a 4/10. The fact that it's a graphical showcase with competent writing and acting along with zero to minimal bugs/performance issues make it a 6 or 7 at the absolute worst IMO

I agree. Persona needs to look to the later developments of the Saved by the Bell franchise if it's to survive. They should also consider incorporating Mario Lopez's raping and Screech's porn and stabbings.

I think the only other adult casted games they made in a while were Devil Summoner 2, and Catherine. SMT: Strange Journey is the Antartica one, came out on the DS.

Its hard to tell if Atlus found their audience on the 3DS and kept at that, while slowly chipping away at Persona 5 forever. Or if they were never comfortable with making games that have bigger budgets than they're used to.

Its hard to tell when game reviews became such a big target for scorn in online communities and self validation. The best early examples would be Kingdom Hearts 2 getting a 7.6 review on IGN, which caused outrage and hilarity at IGN's forums. Twilight Princess came out the same year and the reaction was even worse for a higher score.

People may have bitched about a game's score on forums in the 90's, but with a lot of reviews being read in magazines still, it was harder for people to gather to be outraged. Usually people would email or mail the reviewer or editor directly.

TIL Kara plays Atlus games. Kinda surprising tbh. Good taste though.

There's a bit of Fatlus in all of us.

One of my first Game Boy games was a SaGa game. I never stood a chance.

Hopefully they retire the series after 5 then, there isn't really any Japanese highschool setting left.

Unless they make a Persona game that takes place in a early 20th century or late 19th century Japanese school.

Even Saved by the Bell moved on from its highschool setting.

Except Persona is high-school focused. That's the entire point of the series. If you want Adults, do P2: Eternal Punishment which is the sequel to the high-school/teenager aged P2: Innocent Sin. As it is, you're looking for SMT proper if you want adults. SMT will never leave Japan, though. That's what brought the series into "life" and the whole mythos for it is based on Japanese culture/religion.

Its not like I have the expectation that Persona will leave Japan, but I think the highschool setting will be swapped out with something eventually. If not highschool, then it would it would be neat if a Persona game took place in China. 

I also think Persona getting a reboot entirely wouldn't be out of the question in the future, or if characters from another Persona are revisited in a sequel that takes place during their adulthood. If Persona 2 did it, why couldn't 3 or 4 do that as well.

If Persona is going to forever be in highschool, there should at least be one game where you play as an adult teaching a class. The setting stays the same, but how you play around in that setting would be entirely different.
OH!

What you're saying is true. And its not like Atlus is stopping anyone from making a Persona-esque game that doesn't have the same setting Persona games have had.

OH!

Okay I think I just realized what Nintendo NX is.

It's a handheld that you can connect to a TV. When you connect it to a TV it has extra hardware so it'll render with better graphics when you're playing on the TV. When it's not connected to the TV, that extra hardware (connected to TV) is not available, so it'll render on the handheld at a lower resolution, but from the player's point of view it'll be somewhat similar graphics.

The handheld is the controller also.

If this isn't it, it'll be something equally crazy. :doge

Is this a copypasta of a GAF post from two years ago or something

Yeah, that's been a main rumor or guess for a while now. That there will be multiple devices and the processing power/GPU would be in a separate box entirely, with the devices linking up to it.
