Dualazi Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Because it's not creepy in the country wherein it was made, and people here don't want to be stripped of the ability to experience everything they got. It's a matter of being able to have the choice for me, not the choice itself. Also, in the right corner of your post, there's an edit to the left of the multiquote button. Might be hard to see on some interfaces. Please use that instead of double posting. If you want to make sure people see it, just write "Edit" in front of it, and bold it. The 'country where it is made' thing is particularly prevalent from my point of view, because typically I seek out foreign media (of all stripes) because I'm specifically looking for viewpoints not grounded in western influence. I'm reminded of early anime localizations where people made the baffling decision to try and pass off onigiri as donuts, which even as a kid I knew was BS. I wish more localization companies understood this, because reducing those unfamiliar elements does lessen the value somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yula Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If anyone was wondering why people are only now coming out of the woodwork to defend the skinshipping, this, this is why. Nobody wanted to be accused of all these utterly baseless things just to defend a harmless game feature that, at the time, didn't seem to be going anywhere. Really now? Because when I said that Nintendo of America was going to remove it, citing their previous actions as a company, an angry mob formed with torches and pitchforks. The only reason this is happening AGAIN is someone else brought it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Has any site actually said "We've reached out to Nintendo for comment"? I'm pretty sure NOA is more likely to give a damn if, say, Gamespot asked over random Gfaqs Schmoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soro Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Unless I see a source other than Kotaku, gonna just buy the game and confirm for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I'll leave this here https://twitter.com/SDC_Batz/status/692542462418616320 We've already seen that. Hence "random Gfaqs Schmoe". Similar letters were sent out when people complained about Xenoblade X; it's PR fluff and nothing else. The file size stuff would imply that it's either still there or been dummied out entirely. TL;DR nothing new whatsoever. It's frustrating how nobody in a position to actually confirm straight from the horses' mouth has done anything and are just riding the shitshow started by Kotaku.

Tolvir Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) To be honest I don't think we will get official word from Nintendo until the next direct. I imagine that would probably be next week so they can talk about Fire Emblem one last time, release Corrin in Smash Bros for more advertisement, and hopefully address the whole ordeal in an official way.

Captain Karnage Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I imagine that it's still there for 2 reasons 1. If Skinship takes up so much space on the cart then why would they spend the extra money to store the data on the cart if it weren't going to be used 2. NoA probably has to get the license to use Live2D, it makes no sense for them to aquire it and not utilize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Master Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Nintendo will await all the flame die and the salt dissolve to give an official statement. But anyway, if they removed the skinship, probably they will add again as a free DLC after all the flame wars it generated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrin's release date "will be revealed on the official website". Really, this whole situation is massively frustrating from a journalistic standpoint.

Hunter Nightblood Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 still don't trust So this was a conversation after the event? That would at least explain why so few news sites are posting primary sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikuDawn Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I mean if it's in there but not accessible, couldn't there be some way of making it accessible in some form through HANS or something?

wallhadrian Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I feel like we should understand that Nintendo's response (“Yes, that is the case [that petting isn’t in the English version]. You might have heard somewhat misinterpreted or exaggerated information about the Japanese original game, but even in the Japanese original version, we have not included any features which are considered inappropriate in Japan.”) really depends on the question asked, which is exactly what he's NOT giving us here. Those tweets are useless. If he asked 'will it be CENSORED' that is MUCH different from 'will it be GONE'. And look at the rest of their sentence! If they really did anything past light or medium censorship they would say that they think the features are inappropriate in America, not defend it and say that whatever we're worried about isn't as bad as it seems. It's much more likely he asked if it would be censored and not completely removed, and censored =/= removed. I'm a little biased but the petting thing is literally only 10% of the excitement for me. If you feel like I'm grabbing at straws it's honestly just because I don't want to think about whatever's going to happen if it wasn't at least replaced.

eclipse Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 First off. . .Integrity, you're the best, thanks for being awesome. Second, someone needs to archive those tweets. If this winds up being a misinterpretation of sorts, I want Kotaku to be held accountable. I think it's really weird that only one guy from one website somehow has this information, and it's some sort of off-the-record thing. Or this could be a giant publicity stunt, in which case, I hope every other video game company blacklists Kotaku for it. It's one thing to drum publicity, but not at the expense of the game itself.
