Way to go, Nintendo.

Did they change Severa/Selena's English VA?

But...thank god that is why we have pixiv, danbooru, gelbooru and rule34 for. =P
Just keep it out of the game, or done in a way to not make it creepy keeping the sales strong.
You do realize this is completely different from porn, right? It's a bonding thing over in Japan, which, in case you've forgotten, is where the game was made.

I hope this is false and Kotaku is just posting this for click bait. I just want to Skinship with Camilla :(
I wanted to marry someone and then make them watch while I rub Gunter's face for an hour.

this post is hilarious and i love it just because there's no way it could actually happen
I'm not putting anything past this world anymore. Not since I saw two separate white people lauded as black heroes because they totally swear they're black you guys, they promise.

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.

My friend works for nintendo and he says she leaves if you install a toilet anywhere in the castle.

Most accessories come with a My Castle damage received reduction or a My Castle damage output increase, so stripping them off might remove the buffs.
That would be pretty cool. Going to be wondering about this now.

Glad this is only in-store. I ordered online on the 19th.

I dunno, many are glad it's optional, but optional content can ruin the atmosphere or the narrative. Not as much as forced content, but it still influences you and your vision of the overall game.
"It's optional" almost seems like a strawman argument now. Basically, we can't voice our negative opinion on optional content because it's optional? But why? It does not send the discussion anywhere.
What if there was a game mode that sucked ass? Can't criticize it because it's optional?
Can't criticize a support's shitty writing because it's optional?
How about this: why do you criticize the game? If you dislike it, you should not play it. It's optional.
I'm not criticizing the game. I'm criticizing the "it offends me so it should be removed" mentality. It's the old right-wing "Think of the children!" rhetoric of the 90s with a new coat of paint.

I guess? It's about the same as any other character in the series. They have some poignant reason to initially join your group and then they just stick around because the protagonist's cause is worth fighting for.
It doesn't sound like I'm going to convince you. I said children characters generally have a reason to be fighting, either for protecting something they care about or because they need to protect themselves. This is relevant to the narrative. Sexualizing children is not.
For the record, many parents DO object to their children joining the conflict so it's not like the game just forgets about their relative vulnerability.
If only letting the kids marry or putting them in "sexy" outfits was optional. So many people who will never beat the game because of the level where you're forced to put Midoriko in a bikini and make her feel like a woman.

I think that any changes to gameplay for localization, these days, might end up as a balance patch to the JP version first.

You're comparing apples to oranges here. Children characters in Fire Emblem join your army for a number of reasons. You don't have to support children fighting in wars to acknowledge that it might be necessary, or something they want to do out of personal convictions. Maybe they could be more self-aware about children fighting alongside their adult peers but at least they have reasons to fight.
Things like being able to marry children is completely unnecessary (but you're encouraged to to get all the characters) for the narrative. What purpose does it serve to have Zero, a grown man, hitting on a 12 year old girl? Now, you could have children being married to adults as a point of drama, but Fire Emblem completely normalizes what are not normal relationships. It's the same way for outfits. The game shouldn't make sexualizing children a feature.
They don't have to fight, though. They're children, and could be told not to. A lot of people probably won't even use them. I know Tsukuyomi's probably getting the bench in my run. You could argue "What purpose does it serve to have a child killing grown men? This completely normalizes what is not normal behavior. The game shouldn't make murdering children a feature." If one bothers you, they both should.

Twitter confirmed that if you order online they'll ship the keychains with it, so that's nice.

Not really. A narrative is still an experience for the player, and there is arguably a certain dramatic poignancy to your former example which can add to the narrative itself, while the latter instance (again, arguably) cheapens it and adds nothing.
We both know Fire Emblem doesn't address that kind of thing dramatically, at least not anymore. They fight with you because they can, more or less. A quick line about "I want to fight" and then the plot just pretends they aren't there. If you don't want to see them in bathing suits or whatever, just don't put them in bathing suits or whatever.
-
The difference is, the characters are soldiers fighting in a war. Killing is unavoidable
unless you're Kamui.Which is why civilized countries don't make children fight. A fictional child fictionally killing fictional people is just as bad as a fictional child fictionally wearing fictional clothes that people think are too skimpy.
-
There has to be some reason why one would mix sex and violence like that. Of course one could also try to deliberately disturb the audience, but I never got the impression that this is what they were going for.
Because skimpy outfits are the big trend in anime and this lets them dip into the otaku market more heavily. When you talk about "mixing sex and violence" you make it sound like you're stripping them naked and punching them in the face.
I don't think they're trying to deliberately interplay violence and sex. The games started out as just violence, then people took a liking to the characters off the battlefield, sometimes in weird sexual ways, so IS indulged it.
The stuff that goes on in the barracks, or support convos, or My Castle are pretty much entirely divorced from the actual battlefield and combat.
I think part of it it is, like I said above, tied in to anime. Looking at the promotional art for the older games, even, there's a lot of similarity to styles from anime of the time. And right now that's what's popular in it.
-
Eh, I essentially think the opposite. I mean, those two elements are used together after all. The implication that the act of murdering people is apparently meant to be sexy and arousing deeply disturbs me.
I don't know that anyone else is seeing that implication.
-
I'd approve of such "censorship". Although the real problem stems from having underage characters equal participants in adult relationships/activities.
It seems kind of stupid to censor their clothing in a game where they're killing people left and right.

Charlotte's daughter would be opposite: she is actually a sweet lady but she doesn't act like that.

Asura/Asyura/that prepromoted outlaw guy is at his best in IK route. He joins in chapter 22 Hoshido, chapter 16 Nohr, and chapter 15 IK. But in IK he joins with bases similar to what he has in Hoshido when he joins. Gives him a nice leg up on his competition.

Voting for the maids because Flora a cute.
The "blow to wake up spouse" minigame might still be in
