I get the feeling the Niles change was because they didn't want the only male same-sex pairing option in the game to also be the dude who got sexually abused as a kid. As it is both the gay options in Fates are social outcasts to one extent or another already.

I mean, there's a solution to this.

Have you thought about getting good games instead?

Neptunia is the only good choice. Rebirth 1 is a good introduction to the series, but is a standalone title. Rebirth 2/3 (or their PS3 versions,) VII (PS4/PC,) and Four Goddesses Online (PS4/PC) are the games with a continuous story.

The gay supports in the JP version were unique. Niles' is kind of the same anyway but Rahjat's had a lot of discussion about homosexuality and it had Rahjat going "Would you be happier if I was a guy?" and the MC going "I don't love you in spite of you being a woman, I love you because you're a woman," which was kind of sweet and gay-positive. they replaced it with the male MC/Rahjat support, which is a pure stalking joke about Rahjat creeping on the protagonist and trying to see them in the baths and stuff. It's real bad.

They also completely changed Rahjat's personality to be creepier, which doesn't help. In the JP version she's awkward and pushes people away with her creepy personality because she doesn't know how to handle them, in the US version she's just a weirdo and all that self-doubt and awkwardness is written out. The end result is turning the game's one lesbian option into a creepy stalker. And then you get a bunch of hot takes about how bad Nintendo is with gay people even though the JP version of Rahjat was pretty decent, ignoring that it's kind of weird she's the only option.

Ah. For some reason I thought you were talking about Akiba's Beat. That being said, while I knew there was a problem with fire emblem this is unfortunate.

I'm probably not the first to notice but there's Vita product placement in Jeune et Jolie, which is kind of like Belle de jour except that the middle class prostitute whose sexual awakening is the central subject of the film is still in high school

it's me, i'm the one person who's sort of interested in akiba's beat and mostly because i think the english voice cast is going to be fun

i haven't actually followed it closely so if it gets rid of all the fun parts of akiba's trip along with its lovely combat, welp

I'd rather have lovely interesting combat that could be set to easy with an interesting and funny game than a mediocre combat with a dull game. Since it's seems it's one or the other with this developer - didn't they make Way of the Samurai, though? It's weird they went this direction, I think.

I had to look up some games and their ratings, especially Atalier Ayesha which you need to be 16 to play, even though it's really chill and nice throughout.


PEGI posted:

It contains: Encouragement of the use of alcohol/tobacco

Same age rating as the Last of Us! There's a single character who smokes and the MC drinks alcohol once while celebrating her 18th birthday. The horror!

Well, romance is never the focus on those. If anything Valkyrie Drive is closer to it but there's also an action game bundled with it.

I got a refund on the Steam version when I realised the main characters blood related sister was a potential love interest.
