I think this is about making the thing BLADE is an acronym for slightly less silly. It went from "Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator" to "Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth".

I'm sure the intentional philosophical references in a Xeno game were really deep, and interesting, and added a lot to the plot.

As a fan of silly acronyms I prefer the original, but the localized version works just as well.

There's gonna be a lot more changes to the script than just BLADE and dolls being renamed, treehouse practically declared this on the first direct relating to it. Not actually knowing the content of the original Japanese version doesn't really put me in much of a position to elaborate on what will change, but you can bet your rear end there going to be more and someone else will point it out in greater detail.

Afaik all they've talked about are harmless name changes, like Doll->Skell and changing union titles to be more descriptive rather than "Cool English".

I have a high tolerance for poor Japanese English given how long I've been hearing it, but there are lines that must be drawn and Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator is where I draw that line. Points to them for using Emancipator though, not every day you see that in a Japanese game.

"beyond the logos" means a thing and i think it's kind of weird that what they changed it to something that doesn't really match it, but w/e this game doesn't sound like it has a story worth caring about anyway

e: "artificial destiny emancipator" does tie kind of directly into something i do know about the story so actually that part is weird too, but maybe it's better this way?

It's probably just as big an issue as if they had changed KOS-MOS name in 'saga or hosed around with Lacan's name in 'gears, or if Yaldabaoth wasn't the name of the one mech in 'blade. In other words, it'll gently caress up the depth of the narrative somewhat.

Yo these males voices for the CAC are pretty good, especially Silverstein and Diskin. Howden's always good too, but I already listened to his voice for a whole game and he won't be yelling attacks from the rear position in this I'm sure.

Good or not it has still always been a part of the Xeno games and if you think they might as well just remove it completely then I have to wonder why you even care about the game in the first place. Unless you think the jrpg battle system is incredible.

I think a lot of people have made it clear that come hell or high water they want to explore XBX's world more than they care about story, gameplay and chars. I mean they're not wrong to, the scenery and enemies are just beautifully designed. I really don't care about the changes personally because I've already seen what the game's story has to offer and it is less than p much every Xeno game has.

It's not a 'maybe one day ...' dealio like Dragon's Dogma or Final Fantasy turned out to be, Nintendo categorically will never release their mainline games on other formats whilst any of their leadership still lives and breathes
