Saga and Gears would be nice. I’ve tried Xenoblade but I hate the combat system. Is X any better?

Oh come on! There needs to be an alternative to the subscription so non subscribers can play choice games.

@jetsetradion
Sure there is. If I had an option to buy them individually I’d be happy.

Another great game locked behind a subscription and no legal alternative to play it on modern hardware and keep indefinitely.

Already own the gba games except reshef.

@Kingy
It’s bad any way you go. In the art books it’s always shown the original design. Only games in the series I’ve played have been 1 then jumped to 8 years later, then dq monster 2 Tara, 4, 5, 6,7, 9 and 11. Outside of the costume alterations Toriyama did on two of Jessica’s outfits in the 3ds port of 8 (which was covered here on Nintendolife) none of the other changes really rocked the boat or at least wasn’t newsworthy then. Of course I find it odd they censor that and not young Gokus pat pats in the original dragonball. But then they censor lips on Mr Popo so go figure.

@Kingy
At least the censorship was more consistent with certain things and at tge rime there was no rating’s system.

@MidnightDragonDX
Uh that was dragon quest x so it’s not even the same character.

@Kingy
I’m not personally excited for it per se but I would love to enjoy it without compromising on anything. I mean I’d like to enjoy the nes original because I finished dragon warrior on nes as a kid so the graphics don’t matter much as the principle.

@ChromaticDracula
Yes but fantasy is fantasy for a reason.

So I guess the current trend would be for this to happen again. Even guys were arrested for going shirtless.

@ChromaticDracula
Yes after the artist passed away! Its like saying they need to cover the birth of Venus up.

@Kingy
I see your point but in the end it’s going to sell some copies regardless. I’d love to play it legally and support the teams actual vision for the game. I can’t justify harming those who did nothing wrong hence why the compromise of buying an alternative would keep them paid.

Here is a compromise that could have worked and pleased more consumers. Why not have modern and classic modes? That way you could have it both ways they can have type a, b and censored art in the modern setting and male/female and original untouched artwork for classic but still have the same core game.

@Kingy
They could look at the individual sales. If the mobile port sold more than the hd remaster then they should take note especially since in essence it’s the same game.

@JohnnyMind
I appreciate your view. I’d rather see more control and last say in things given to creators instead of suits. To coin an old adage “you can’t make a salad everyone will enjoy” if you try you’ll simply end up with an empty bowl. DEI is ruining creativity and creators views and the stories they want to tell. I’m sorry that xyz doesn’t include abc but you should enjoy it as the creators wanted and not try and change it to fit your views.

@Kingy
I’d rather purchase that lackluster port and sq/enix to show I support unchanged artwork than emulation which doesn’t support them. In fact I’d say to everyone who hasn’t purchased that release to instead purchase it instead especially on release day of the remaster.

@JohnnyMind
If it sells well by that logic they wouid falsely attribute it to the forced upon them changes. I won’t forgive them on this point by butchering the artwork of the great Toriyama. If you look at his work you can plainly see how much care and effort he put into it and I hate seeing it tarnished especially after his recent passing. Removing lips on ogres, changing female character designs (reminds me of that line is Casper where the mother said “don’t tell her to wear a tshirt under her bathing suit), removing alcohol and changing obviously male and female to type a or b. If left alone it would’ve achieved the same rating possibly the T but there’s not much difference in E10 or T in the ESRB.

@Doctor-Moo
Yeah but thy are more faithful to the original material.

@Serpenterror
I’m voting with my wallet. If it flops well they have tons of feedback already saying it was a poor idea. I’ll buy the original on the eshop but not the new one (or get the physical three pack of the games. That would be better.)

@Ultimapunch
They’ll just censor it and ruin its art and will want to change it for modern audiences.

I’ll just play the original or the one already on the eshop. I’m not supporting the new release.

Hopefully they add a way to purchase individual titles for non subscribers or for those who only want basic online play to purchase those from the expansion as well.

20/25 not bad at all.

No Tengen Tetris, Tetris Plus, Tetris DX, Tetris Attack or Tetris World. Whew Tetris, Tetris, Tetris Tetris!

@FlyingDunsparce
Hear hear! Bravo bravo!

@Ulysses
That’s one thing I never understood. You’d think businesses would see the comments about why consumers don’t buy their games and try to do something about it. “Oh we goofed up big time on the next game we will not make the same mistake and make the game the creators want and sell it on its own merits instead of trying to do the impossible task of pleasing and trying to kiss every alarmists rear end.”

@AussieMcBucket
So what about my viewpoint? If that’s what you want then mine should have as much bearing on tve issue as yours.

Diversity-the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc.
So my view and having characters show off skin is included in diversity since like a salad if you take out everything you don’t like you’ll be left with nothing.

How games are ruined by trying to please too many people rather than just being what the creators wanted.

@atombomb66
Yes the Japanese and international versions will be identical. They said as much in the interview.

@Vexx234
Yes of course but that was an exception considering Japan was closed off from the outside world at least until the last few centuries. They probably knew using a historical figure who could appeal to a demographic would be a great idea. I admit I like the idea of doing so especially for a change of pace to the generic formula. Of course AC tries to be (tries anyway) to get the history right.

One thing for sure. This game was not going to get an all ages (E in ESRB) rating for several reasons. Besides suggestive themes it also has alcohol, tobacco and gambling which is enough to bump it up to a T rating anyways. So the covering of a characters body does nothing in context to other things.

@AussieMcBucket
What was that again about tolerance? It’s a two way street. You can’t tell someone what they can and cannot enjoy. Her attire does actually make sense in the context of the fantasy game. In dragon quest (in most games of the series anyway) female characters are weaker in strength but they do have other advantages such as increased magic and able to use their sex appeal (which is a stat in the games opposite the male charisma stat) to use female specific abilities such as Puff-Puff and Sexy Beam. So her showing off her body makes thematic sense. Take the sisters Maya and Meena in dq4. One is a dancer so she shows off her body while her sister a fortune teller dresses more modestly in a long dress.

@AussieMcBucket
Then just don’t play games that have those tropes and leave it alone for everyone else to enjoy. Like the Hank Williams junior song says “why can’t everybody else leave everybody else alone?! Hey you do your thing and we’ll do our thing too!”

Even then it’s not rated all ages. It’s going to end up rated teen at least. Besides the changes arebt going to make someone who wasn’t interested in it before suddenly buy it just because they cover up some skin. Heck given that young kids play GTA then people have nothing to complain about.

If the patents weren’t filed until “after” Palworlds release then Nintendo doesn’t have much of a legal leg to stand on.

They should just force them to change it to saying we own digital purchases and those purchases are equivalent to physical media.

@Ulysses
It’s in poor taste. The changes completely alter his art. These changes aren’t going to cause someone to buy it who wasn’t going to anyway although they may claim some grand agenda about making a fantasy character less sexual. It’s a fantasy game. Bikini armor is a trope of fantasy games and fantasy in general. The bunny girls and puff puff parlors and casinos have also been a staple of the series. So why?

Sounds like they should’ve stuck to the grid based movement instead of this seamless transition style. It really threw me for a loop playing the LA remake.

@Ulysses
It’s not minuscule it’s quite a bit of censorship. Especially to censor a great artists artwork essentially saying that they fixed his art. How dare they. Just leave it as it was originally. Just because they want to please a small minority of “oh think of the children” alarmists that aren’t actually going to buy the product regardless anyway regardless of the changes.

The unnecessary and quite frankly ridiculous censorship of the late great Toriyamas character designs is turning this from a day one purchase to possible never.

Berserk berserk berserk over you!

@Serpenterror
It’s been a while since I played silver star harmony on psp but I seem to remember having random encounters and exploration between areas. That and the boat song was superior too although @Ralizah will disagree with me till the end of time.

So is this going to be a remaster of the psp silver star harmony? Best version of the boat song too!

I was like cool Lawson is an outdoorsman gear and gun store near where I live. I thought yes Zelda is going to get a gun! Then I read it was a convenience store chain in Japan then I just thought of her summoning a slushy machine.

Maybe they will actually put the series on switch before he retires. Actually running on the switch not a cloud game which only maybe 1% of consumers can actually play.

I loved playing this on vita! Much better than any monster hunter-esque game I’ve ever played. The combat the mechanics all are so solid.

Or maybe smt 1, 2, Digital Devil Saga, Jack Bros, and the Demi kids games.

@liljmoore
Yeah but what purpose does it actually serve? There is no game to store inside it. The code once used is disposable then it’s no different from just buying on the eshop straight out. As I said it’s digital with extra steps. Heaven forbid you don’t have reliable internet to actually get the game after you buy a code in box!

Let’s be honest that’s not a physical copy by any stretch of the imagination. It’s digital with extra steps thrown in. Physical isn’t dying. It’s the stupid companies making stupid decisions that is causing the issue.

Isn’t this the game where the nerd went off because he couldn’t land on a passing boat in the game?
