Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

When did Haurchefant flirt with us?

In the japanese version he outright asks us if we want to share a room with him but Alphy blocked him by coming in. I think there are translations online that show the difference. (He also would like to use us as his personal horse and his emotes are much more active)

I just want to see the characters how the original writers saw them.

I’d prefer the unfiltered product too... guess that’s a good reason to learn Japanese.

I find Haurchefant was toned down too much and we lost some of the intent with him but i do feel he needed to be toned down somewhat from his original japanese incarnation, the West do have a different mindset to Japan and what might've have been funny/awkward over there might be really creepy over here especially when he does it to potatoes or you know 12 year olds who are playing the game.

Nah a lot of folks myself included are hoping for the completed races one day. But not gunna happen right now so why not chit chat in the mean time?

[Komarimono]

are you sure about that?

after the debacle with fire emblem fates, xenoblade x, the fire emblem/smt crossover game they really went back and amended their localization processes.

https://slator.com/features/japanese...calized-games/ this article mentions that they have localization people fly over to HQ to look over games for localization, as they're in development, compared to how traditionally games were localized long after their original japanese release

You're just proving my point, that only Nintendo of America is doing it. You'll find little to any other companies doing it other then ones related to broadcasting. The only reason Nintendo is doing it, is because western consumers are too skitsy and scared of things or look far too into things. A good example being Jinx from Pokemon, yes people freaked out over that.

Others points still stick to what I said, WESTERN versions are censored, we know this. Fans prefer the real thing though. And they are generally censored by the localization publishers, never the main company.

I believe it’s more a case of vocal minorities within said consumer groups and opportunistic media outfits looking to write from such an angle. Most of us don’t really care for the censorship or ‘localisation’ of this kind.

[Komarimono]

Agreed, and the person didn't even read their links. Nintendo isn't censoring 3rd Party titles, just their own stuff due to Nintendo of America. Other companies aren't censoring either in japan, if anything is brought over with another publisher, then it's censored.

It derails from the Overall Intended Focus: The Topic of this Thread.
Then this idle Chit-chat artificially inflates the Thread, so when you get those people who will get all excited that this thread has so many pages, they won't know that a portion of these pages has nothing to do with the Topic. Devaluing the thread.

But of course this doesn't harm anybody. And nobody can stop you :P

Its really sad to, because most, if not everything that gets censored is Trivial and harmless. And it happens because of Parents NOT wanting to be Parents. Or because of the newest Dumb Culture trend. Or somebody bringing up the Past.
(I know the Irony of me talking about inflating the Topic)
