iavasechui Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Tripletriad from FF8. XD Just tell me who I need to play to get rid of that damn random rule. Gah I remember accidentally spreading that rule all over the know world... I ended up using card mod to get rid of all my crap cards so I didn't get screwed over by the rng...

MCProductions Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 But now I'm going to be disappointed with any outcome that doesn't let me play chess with my waifu. Thanks a lot, guys. Same, that should be DLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinshiiya Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 if Skinship is out, I admit I have mixed feelings. on one hand, I'm just kinda lol'ing because I thought this feature was pretty dumb in the first place. but on the other, as a game design student, I feel like the assets are being wasted, especially since the characters look so beautiful in the Skinship feature...... ....& I also just REALLY want to hear Mamoru Miyano & Yoshimasa Hosoya whispering in my ear BUT I DIGRESS. & I'm totally down for that suggested card game lol all in all, I hope we get an official announcement soon if this junk turns out to be true.

Avalanche Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Guys, let's start a petition for Cipher to replace skinship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyborgZeta Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 What's considered appropriate in Japan may not be considered appropriate in the west, you know. Different cultures and beliefs and all that. Did you know that certain people in the world find a thumbs-up gesture offensive, while us in the US use it to say they approve of something in a "great job!" or "awesome!" manner? I forget which country views the gesture as offensive, but I read somewhere that one does. I think it was Thailand or Taiwan or something. But you get the point. I thought the West valued multiculturalism. Quite frankly, I'm not sure a harmless gameplay feature like this is comparable to an obscene gesture.

nyainou Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Guys, let's start a petition for Cipher to replace skinship. Its a fine idea but considering that the game is already complete, just not released... It'd have to be DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiddon Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 "Japan being Japan" doesn't fly for a localization of a game that isn't only set in an analogue of the Far East (if not just pre-Meiji Japan). uh, setting of the game doesn't matter as it's still Japanese-made. It was made by people from Japan which has a different set of cultural norms than Western countries. As such it's why you get such unique interpretations of Western fantasy from them. Anyway, can't say I'm surprised about this. We all know that if Nintendo kept it they'd never hear the end of it so best to just cut out the problem and let journalists find clickbait elsewhere.

CrimeanRoyalKnight Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I want some legit sources on this.And if it was really taken out, at least I'd want it to be replaced by something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreejules Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I also find the wording on the Kotaku article really...entitled? That's probably not the right word for it but it's this sentence alone that I'm fishy about: "Nintendo confirmed to me that petting is 100 percent out." I agree that Skinships is a pretty 'big' optional feature in this game, which is why I'm skeptical on why Nintendo would tell this to one person rather than making a public announcement like their previous statements a few days ago. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but that's what my gut is telling me. Edited January 27, 2016 by carefreejules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, what they quoted doesn't really mean anything without context, at least to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If they can find a new, not-sketchy-as-fuck use of the Live2D assets, I'd consider that a solid victory for the localization. I do like looking at the character models up close but would prefer a more savory application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsherCrane Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Honestly, if it is removed though, I'd be kind of amused if the live2D assets weren't used, just because I want to see all the people who are pissed at it's removal say "This is what you get." Not that I'll be one of those people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha sorry but if there is a card minigame in a videogame then there will be a cheating piece of shit AI. I have nightmares about playing Black Jack in Dead or Alive: Paradise, or in GOD HAND, or in Yakuza. Wait... maybe this simply means that gambling is bad.

carefreejules Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I feel like if they were to replace Skinships with something else that still utilizes the models, I feel like they would prompt the player to choose multiple different responses and based on what they choose, it'll trigger the character to say certain things based on the player's response and then their affection/support level will increase that way. Kind of like how in otome games, you're character will like you more based on the things you say to them. And then they'll eventually say their special lines when certain ranks have been reached.

Anomalocaris Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Luigi's the guy who manages to win at Mario Party by doing absolutely nothing. You should know better than to play a self-destructive game like poker against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
