I agree it's not porn, it's just really godawful pandering fanservice in a mainstream SRPG title which used to be very restrained and tasteful in such things

What loving universe do you live in where these things exist? The only mainstream SRPG is Starcraft and Red Alert. And Red Alert is dead.


And fire emblem always had boobs, like goddamn the SNES games had tits out in the open. They wore Chainmail bikinis.

If Intelligent Systems actually just wanted to go ahead and make a porn game I wouldn't really take issue, it's shoehorning 15-rated titilation into conventional franchises just to chase that otaku buck which annoys me

At least in the GBA titles, the female characters mostly wore standard armour and the romances were either implied (in the case of men) or pretty clean, compare to:

quote:

Camilla: “The way you’re using your hand feels so good. Very skillful.”
Lazwald: “I also want to touch you, will you come closer?”
Takumi: “You can touch me wherever I like, but don’t say I didn’t warn you…”
Joker: “We can’t… it’ll have to wait for tonight.”
Camilla: “When you do it this much, it’s embarrassing…”

Finally, considering that you can have actual family members (siblings) in your party, this applies to them as well. Yes, this means you can experience your brother or sister uttering naughty things, like Takumi (the protagonist’s brother) saying “If mother saw this, what would she think?”

I get it's a financial issue due to shrinking markets etc, but it's a shame the series has gone from something you could reasonable let a pre-teen kid play unsupervised to actively baiting horny otakus

I'm not freaking the gently caress out friend, I'm saying it's a shame formerly clean franchises are having to get so sleazy to keep on going. Characters like Marth and Lynn are cool without having to touch their boobies and groins and hear them breathlessly swoon over the player


Crabtree posted:

Okay, I appreciate it's not Final Fantasy, but it is a long and ongoing series with a relatively large fanbase for a SRPG, it's certainly bigger than any of PSP/Vita jrpg franchises

I hate to break it to you but Fire Emblem was never clean.

You just were not aware of the earlier games. Much like many people don't know that the SNES was home to many dating sims and strip poker games.

Lets not even get into the fact that Mara from SMT Debuted on a Nintendo system.

Uh no, I mean "keeping it in the family" isn't exactly a new low in a game about shipping and breeding the best child soldiers.

The robots are still cool in X, right? That's really all I care about it besides exploring a new world.

Eh, I can't speak for the SNES games but the GBA and console titles were all pretty clean and even Awakening drew the line quite a bit further back. If the SNES games were as sleazy annd pandering as Fates then I guess it's a shame it's returned to those roots I guess?

How about this:

Who cares if it was or was not clean in the day, and who cares what other games did or did not do, a modern game that's sleazy is unappealing to many people who post here. And so,

The robots do look cool, some of the gameplay reports I've read make it sound like robot maintenance really is a huge drag and timesink though. I'm kinda excited for this game but I've heard enough that I'm gonna wait and see what peoples reactions are rather than make it a day one purchase

Adult sex and titillation is good, and violence is also good, especially giant robot violence.
lovely designs of underage characters and whatever else is garbage for the terminally brain diseased otaku market.

the overtly sexual lines will be toned down in the localization, so your parents won't have to worry.

Looking at it the wrong way.
Eh, no one has confirmed whether or not it only applies to Lyn yet, have they? Could just be character specific since she's basically the whole focal point of the complaints. If it's just Lyn then meh, they did what they had to do to keep people from bitching. Well, the one's who'll still buy it regardless of a few coverups anyways.

Like I said, I'm basing it on the games which got western releases, which aside from Awakening never seemed to go in this direction at all. Fire Emblem and Sacred Stones did not have erotic breast touching minigames

That only seems a little less skeevy, given the surrounding context of gameplay. Anyway, hopefully we can at least agree the loss of the sexy 13-year old costumes In Xenoblade in no great loss, to get back on to the original topic
