Holy crap people seem to love this game. Was Sup Forums wrong?
Kevin Perez
>people Game journalists
Jaxon Cook
The game is good The censorship is not.
Cameron James
Right and they all seem to love it.
Was Sup Forums wrong again?
Henry Hall
>""""game journalists""""" love a game >turns out to be casual slosh
Every time. Like clockwork. Let me guess, it's "the citizen kane" of RPGs, right?
Parker James
No....
This was supposed to be the nail in the WiiU's coffin!
Delete this!
Jose Jones
It's not censorship it's "culturalization."
John Nelson
Journos usually hate everything on Nintendo.

John White
It's seems like the game is really good.
>journos talk about deep combat, upgrading, puzzle solving, dungeons etc >casual Projection time?
Tyler Ortiz
>SJWs love #FE, which is a game that revolves around the idol industry, which is an industry that ACTUALLY abuses and oppresses women
Yeah, that fucking figures.
I'm kind of interested in the game but the way they covered up all the parts and bare skin they wanted to censor looks really low-quality and low-effort so I'm debating whether it's worth making a purchase.
Nicholas Bennett
>western reviews
The game is gonna sell like shit.
Camden Kelly
This.
>sales = quality Every thread.
Ian Thompson
I don't know whether this game is good or not, but is there any place where I can find reviews by people who know what they're talking about? All the review sites on Metacritic are horribly wrong more often than they are right.
Jordan Jenkins
it's the same argument as OP
>polygon reviews >gamespot reviews >ign reviews
Tyler Jones
>sales = quality
Yes.
Michael Watson
Try and find some unbiased user reviews on metacritic?
Eli Walker
>SJWs love #FE >even GG-leaning sites reviewed TMS highly Huh?
Jacob Gomez
i cant wait to see the sales for this game
im expecting not much, even by weeb jrpg standards, but i kinda want to be proven otherwise for the sheer shock value, and maybe to lend credence to how much weight the FE brand carries now
Gabriel Price
Apologize.
John Thompson
>"Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is a solid RPG with its own unique style and appeal"
How much Nintendo paid for these reviews? Now generic animu idolshit is "unique"?
You mean meaningless buzzwords? Just for kicks, let me offer some "praise" given to TLOU.
>Naughty Dog has proven itself again as one of the most accomplished development teams in the world. With The Last of Us they have given us a consistent and interesting world that is supported by practically all of its game mechanics. From the rich complex combat system to the sublime sound design, this game immerses the player in one of the most visceral plots in this generation. Maybe the AI could have been better, but, overall, this game proves how far the craftsmanship of making video games has come. -Levelup
>A masterpiece, that breaks the self imposed barriers of gaming narrative and ensnares the player with intelligent gameplay and brilliant A.I.-Spazio games
>The Last of Us merges very good gameplay with a peerless story and unequaled production values. While it just misses transcendent status you won't find very many games that are more worth the investment of your time.-totalplaystation
So, what was that about game journalists having any integrity in their reviews?
Michael Martinez
You act like there are a lot of idol themed JRPGs
Pro tip: There aren't.
Bentley Howard
Japanese game journalists all loved it too yet the game flopped.
This isn't the first time journos all love a Nintendo game. You know what's the common point between all Nintendo games that journos love? They all sell poorly.
Nolan Smith
its unique by wiiu standards. if it were on vita or maybe even ps4, it probably would have more competition
Dylan Cox
>good reviews = quality
Back to Treehouse, faggot.
Juan Parker
>32000 is a lot
I guess CoD is rolling in dough with its 200k+ sales
Nolan Jackson
>people (((game journalists))) Nintendo games always get good rating.
It's been zero days since reviews started mattering for nintendo games again. Restart the clock.
Noah Harris
>He listened to Sup Forums
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ok, first off, Sup Forums hated it because it wasn't grimdark like the typical SMT games and we were expecting an actual crossover instead of a FE game with SMT mechanics. Second off, Sup Forums hated it because of the localization removing anything slightly promiscuous or showing some skin.
Notice anything odd? That's right, nether complaint has anything to do with the gameplay. The one thing Sup Forums raves about as constantly missing from modern titles in favor of being cinematic.
Never listen to Sup Forums, make your own opinions.
Ryan Wood
You're forgetting these people also gave p4g 10/10 a couple years ago
Mason Butler
I'm saying that if there's any games that their movement should have a problem with it's ones that for want of a better word idolize the idol industry because it's one of the most disgustingly misogynistic and abusive work environments for women in Japan.
Your mistake was assuming GG was involved at all in what I said.
Elijah Long
>You know what's the common point between all Nintendo games that journos love? They all sell poorly
TW101 is the exception of this
Austin Phillips
So what makes this drastically different than say Omega Quintet? Only comparing based on being idolshit.
Robert Hernandez
>sales = quality Look at this faggot, look at him and laugh.
Blake Adams
>>series = quality
where the ever loving FUCK did i say that?
the game is on the least owned console and is a product tied to a brand it shares little in common with except for recognizable characters, and on top of that was censored, alienating a large portion of the demographic it was appealing to in the west
am i so wrong to be interested in how this will impact sales, you fucking knee-jerk reactionary moron?
Ryder Wilson
It's not made by Compile Heart

Why do Atlas games get an automatic 2/10 point boost over other weeb developers?
Nathan Anderson
It can also refer to stuff like changing rice balls to doughnuts. Remove and cultural artifices that while not necessarily offensive to the local audience would be unfamiliar with and distracting to the narrative.
That said American audience are just be offended by foreign culture on principle.
Oliver Gutierrez
Nintenchild are staving for games.
Blake Cook
A reputation for quality?

I rather a developer localize memes than localize morals.

Better luck next time Nintendo.

Dragon Age 2 confirmed as a masterpiece according to Nintenyearolds. Finally this amazing game is getting the credit it deserves.

Does Sup Forums hate this because NoA censored some cleavage again?

Christian Ross
Sup Forums hated it before that because they wanked themselves off for two years about a crossover that was never going to happen
Dominic Ross
How is this relevant to the thread?
That this didn't really matter and the game is really good regardless? I assume that's what you mean.
Elijah Wood
It's fucking Persona mixed with Fire Emblem, guys. Of course they're going to drool all over it. Persona's the casual-anime-gamer-RPG fan's Dark Souls, and Fire Emblem is totally in fashion at the moment thanks to Awakening.
Alexander Bell
Hey, I got a question. Why are you even trusting the word of game journalists who are so obviously biased? Is it because they're saying something you want to hear?
Matthew Williams
They aren't owned by Nintendo, and you know just as well as I do Nintendo fanboys can be the most vicious about Nintendo games which upset them
Ethan Long
Nah that you shouldn't buy censored garbage when you can get it the way it was meant to be played for free.
Noah Ward
Burn it all down! Grab every copy of TMS and bury it in a landfill.
Journalists haven't had valid opinions worth caring about for almost a decade now. They barely finish games if they even attempt to finish them. Most of them only put in 3 to 4 hours regardless of game length or genre. They literally only exist to rake in the ad bucks by telling the shit eaters whether to buy cawaduty or battlefield this year.
Jonathan Perez
>It's fucking Persona mixed with Fire Emblem Play more Megaten games, dude. This is embarrassing.

You mean they got mad that the characters summon Fire emblem personas and Sup Forums was expecting the characters to be themselves and not just stands?
Jaxson Taylor
Extra meta.
Angel Kelly
>/reddit/ doesn't like #FE I fucking knew it.
Aiden Lewis
they altered an entire subplot and even had the Jap VAs re-record lines to be accurate with the censored dialogue.
Luis Young
SMT fags thought it was going to be a crossover and expected Demifiend to fight with Marth or something stupid like that
Henry Cook
Memes aside. Is it actually good?
