angienessyo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Agreed. If they're going to remove a mechanic I hope we get something in place of it like getting to talk to or interact with the models in some way. I was never attached to the skinship idea, but I do dislike losing all those nice models. I'm sure there's some way they could do it without making people uncomfortable.

Tolvir Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) My only problem with this is the fact that there is no replacement if it's true. It is an entire feature of the game with things that can be unlocked from it, and it's being removed with NO replacement? I did not like the feature either, and found it creepy like everyone else. But removing it without a replacement is not what I would of wanted. They could of easily added some kind of feature to talk to the characters using the models. I will say that the quote doesn't fully confirm its removal so I will wait to see if IGN covers this since they have been doing the gameplay videos for my castle and the first few chapters.

PuffPuff Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I agree with Fire Emblem Fan. The skinship thing was creepy and stupid as fuck to begin with. Yep. Burn it. I've never used this feature anyway as it's already annoying enough. i know you nerds are mad that you maybe can't pet your waifus in game anymore but come on, put some effort into your madposting. i just had to do like three spam warns in this little new thread. jeez. Ha ha ha ha haaaa. I'm not gonna lie, a while ago I decided I was no longer going to get this game for multiple reasons. One of them was the pandering that I would know to exist in the game and would just make me feel uncomfortable playing this game and no ability to take the characters as serious developped characters with knowledge that they were just to satisfy someones fetish. With the removal of the biggest factor of this it's one of my bigger complaints gone. And I've decided to buy it and support this franchise once more to show to nintendo that even though hundreds of people are whining about it, there remain people like me who support this decision and prefer Fire Emblem without fanservice. That there was too much of. ----- It needs to go. Seriously. It only makes many players mad since this game took it over the top to being a dating sim. -.- Edited January 26, 2016 by PuffPuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyPurple Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Maybe is cultural, but i don't see skinship as the most weird thing in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jave Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If it's the "touching" that was bothering people they can simply remove the use of the touchscreen and replace it with "Press "A" to Talk/Converse/Interact/Whatever". Removing the whole thing is dumb as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well. OK, then. I'm actually surprised, but not exactly disappointed. Sorry for people who wanted it in, but then again it could just be a rumour? I wonder what the purpose of MyRoom is instead, if not just for changing hairstyle (we saw an exclamation mark above it in one video.) Well, whatever.

Kurrin Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 While I highly doubt this is true, there's the small (not actually that small) part of me that thinks it's a possibility. I hope that it is still there. A lot of the monologue dialogue in there was silly or absolutely hilarious, most notably Jakob's "I'll Make A Mess Out of You", at least to me.

Homosexualbeard Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I can't wait for Fire Emblem 15 where they remove everything that might upset anyone. I'm ready to save the mystical land of Friendship by pillowfighting with dragons until they get tired and fall asleep. It has to be done, because otherwise they'll eat all the cookies instead of sharing. And instead of babies every first-gen unit has a younger sibling who their parents drop off when they hit "holding hands" rank with another unit.

As people pointed out though, Treehouse footage still showed that something goes on inside Corrin's room, and it could be just what you suggested here. now this sounds fine, more talks to characters would be swell.

AbsoluteZer0Nova Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hmm, if this is true I wonder if something to do with it might also be because of the voice actors themselves... I mean for one Chrom's voice actor Matthew Mercer was a bit at a loss of words when he was told to do some lines for marriage in Awakening. I can only imagine how it could be like for him doing skinship for Ryoma. Edited January 26, 2016 by AbsoluteZer0Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIO Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 ...If this ends up being true, then I'll be refraining from purchasing this, or any game from Nintendo for the foreseeable future.

BrightBow Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hah, in your face Zero! "Even if you cry or scream, I won't stop?" Don't worry, you won't even get to start. That's what you get for trying to kamui Kamui. Nah, I think Kotaku probably just misunderstood something. I can't see NoA scratch such a big feature altogether.

B.Leu Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) It's true that a lot of work must've been a lot of work to put skinship in the game, so regardless how I look at a it, it is a wonderful waste. Not that I like skinship, of course, but I see the points that are made. Of course, we're not sure if the removal is true of whatever, sooooo...

Riastrad Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I don't exactly trust kotaku, but if it really is removed they should lower the price or something since they took a chunk out of the game. As small a feature as it is, I still don't want to pay full price for less game than Japan got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
