kirbysuperstar posted:Yeah, no game is actually untranslatable, but there's huuuge issues of feasibility, especially when it comes to the Vita. I'm sure that one Lost Planet spinoff/sequel where all the text is hardcoded could be translated but there's no way it would ever be profitable.

Anything can be translated. Translating something cost-effectively is a bigger question and translating it well is a bigger question. On an unrelated note: lol at "changing the character's age changes the character" thing. Unless a character's plot explicitly revolves around their age most character ages are basically nonsense and rarely actually significantly contribute to a character's plot. And plots that revolve around age tend to involve young kids (which are never actually 'censored' unless you're horrible enough to bring them into sexualized plots) or like 'we're in high school' which again is rarely censored and almost entirely because of extreme sexualization.

I mean, to be fair, I kind of agree with the guy in the sense of 'if your game is entirely about dumb fanservice and you have to censor that dumb fanservice, why even bother releasing it?' And it's not like randomly changing character ages hasn't gotten weird sometimes. Like in FE7, where the US localization both aged up Lyn and added a fanservice boob jiggle animation for her, which is the weirdest bit of localization 'censorship' I've ever seen. Or Rorona, where they aged Rorona up by a few years and therefore made the sequels totally inconsistent and make no sense wrt to the recurring characters' ages.

Nate RFB posted:Is it possible to do this without being a PS+ member? I tried doing it via a PC but apparently you can just copy games/pictures/music. I don't want to have to pay a monthly $ just to back up saves, that would be silly. Nope, if you back up the entire game to PC that includes the saves, but if you want to keep a current version or whatever you'll have to do it every time. It's another dumb decision done because Sony were so scared of how quickly the PSP was cracked and cloud saves were a top selling point of Plus before the PS4 required it for online games.

Yeah it's not necessarily that it would be "impossible" to translate Net High but more like it would require nearly a complete rewrite and probably more programming resources than you'd throw at a game that will not sell much at all

Couple of trailers Stranger of Sword City Revisited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ4KI3fIJXE Revisited comes out next Tuesday and will have a special introductory price of $24.99 until March 6th, when it will then bump up to $29.99. There's also going to be an eight hour-long demo that will let you transfer your progress into the full game. I bought the original Stranger back in the Summer and never got around to playing it, but I kind of want to try Revisited but will feel like a complete tool if I buy the revision without even touching the original.

RanKizama posted:Tom didn't want to omit them originally IIRC. But yes, XSEED did remove them entirely rather than change them. It's a lot easier to appease diehard fans with an omission rather than outright changing something when it comes to something like this. It's not like it's a major gameplay or story element so I don't think many people actually care. That and I'm sure the decision saved them a lot of potential backlash. If it isn't a major gameplay or story element why do people care if they are changed unless the explicit reason is because they find it arousing they are underage? Like this is the big key creepy thing about this. If you're okay with omission just as long as you KNOW they're 16 but are seriously bothered if someone hastily scrawls an extra line in crayon to turn 16 to 18 then apparently the big key thing you care about is that the character is underage even is nothing else changes. That's really weird and uncomfortable. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Feb 25, 2017 |

Trying to figure out how boners work is always weird and uncomfortable. Omitting the age is the right move because it sidesteps the issue besides some minor grumbling. Changing the ages just gets a bunch of vitriol thrown up and invites the Eye of Sauron to gaze upon the media in question and you end up with DoA Extreme 3 again.

Classification Board posted:The fifth main character, Connie, is depicted as child-like in comparison. She is flat-chested, under-developed physically (such as the hips), is significantly shorter than the other characters and wears her hair in pigtails. She also has a child-like voice, wears colourful child-like clothing and appears naive in her outlook on life. She is also referred to as a "girl" by the other main characters. In the Board's opinion, the character of Connie depicts a person who is, or appears to be, a child under 18. RanKizama posted:#BurnTheTreehouse lmao

RanKizama posted:I'm with you, but people are adamantly against changing pretty much anything in a game during localization. #BurnTheTreehouse was a thing because of how Nintendo Treehouse handled a lot of their "censorship" in releases. People lost their goddamn minds over these things no matter how big or small. When it comes to things like character ages it usually boils down to changing them to make them older and piss off fans, leave them alone and brave the backlash of society screaming at them about underaged fanservice, or do what XSEED did and just kind of put a piece a tape over the number and shrug. Does it make the people buying the game for these reasons any less or more creepy? Absolutely not, but it's these little technicalities that can play a huge role in how a title is received and that's unfortunate. The people who scream about censorship are not actually meaningfully impactful to any game. Like I'm pretty sure even Criminal Girls didn't sell any worse for its censorship and that is a game where the censored material is the actual selling point of the game. They are loud but that's about it.
