I wanted to buy it anyways because I enjoyed the humor of AT2 and the anime and I like Tales rip-off combat but I kinda want Fire Emblem more

Why? All the previous games were literal trash. Why the hell would you even make a dub for it in the first place?

>localize the 2nd major game in the series
>full dub
>more polished setting and redefined battle (even though it's not beat em up it looks interesting)
you are only complaining because the Xseed censor controversy
Go buy your Prey and don't forget to pre-order Battlefront II Deluxe Edition

I only buy products that interest me.

Your move, companies.

What the hell happened to Xseed? It feels like they're getting worse.

Maybe xseed shouldn't have spent so much money localizing absolute shit like Akiba's Beat.

>>375798949

A sequel to Akiba Strip?

>>375799456
And no stripping mechanic

>>375799160
But they are in the right though, KKK would trigger America like mad. They really don't have a choice but to remove it.

The real issue is that the game is fucking garbage, it bombed with like 10k sales and even fucking Famitsu shit on it, and Famitsu's standards are so low it praised FF XIII and Skyrim

I get wanting to try something different, but what's the deal with making one game in the series so different from its previous entries that it may as well not even be part of the series at all?

It has like 160k worldwide sales for Vita alone. Add in PS4 and PC sales and that's double of that. Not bad for a niche sequel to an incredibly niche game.

Japanese Vita sales alone are 80k.

Akiba's Beat barely broke 10k so far.

The recent games I played from them didn't seem to be meme-ridden. Wasn't the whole thing about Neptunia having meme because of Nick Doerr who went to Idea Factory International before going solo to make his own weeb zombie game? So I think Ys VIII will be safe from memes. As for dialogue cut, I can't really tell since I don't speak Japanese myself.

>>375802595
>and rarely if ever cut any corners with their budgets
A lot of their games are dubs only though. But since you're a dubfag I guess you don't care about the Japanese audios being available. KYS, scum.

>A lot of their games are dubs only though

>>375798949
>The dub was.....very expensive....

did they cut the japanese voices or something?

>>375800562

Nah, not super insane. She did make a few tweets about it along the lines of "shit what the fuck don't visit people at work I'm legit creeped out sorry" which is better than the "I'm literally shaking right now" vein that a lot of people ride on under any sort of duress.

I say this though as a femanon who did have bad shit with some people in college and it really does suck the goddamn life out of you when people dig and stalk you or go around your life without any sort of invitation.

The guy wasn't terribad, but that shit is super dumb. Like shooting your grandma with a hornet and getting all the rubber bands/paper/staples taken away from the rest of the kids.

If I remember correctly, the worst she has had it was when she was - if I'm remembering correctly- super harrassed by people on Twitter/Tumblr that she had to tune out and leave the Internet for a bit. For all I fucking know though is that the two events are actually one in the same, but again, her reaction to it was perfectly justifiable.

>>375803609

According to Lipshit's account on the KKK matter, he said some of the dub errors like mistranslated kanji are still present in the Japanese dub and players who use that feature will hear mismatches in the text, so I'm assuming it's still in there.

>>375803646
The two events were separate, but basically what happened is that one anon stalked her, and then almost immediately after that was the dumb Akiba's Trip trap "controversy", and a bunch of folks on Tumblr not only harassed her but even told her that they were going to fucking cut themselves because of the word "trap" being in the game.

It also doesn't help that she's always been spooked easily. I was surprised to learn that she was ok for doing the stream (less surprised when I heard she was drinking for it), because when I interviewed her at E3 last year she said that she was really bad with cameras, anxiety and what-not.

>>375803646
She opened herself up to a bunch of NEET JRPG fanboys. It was obviously coming to her whether she liked it or not.

>>375802595
>XSeed
>Gorillions of dollars to burn

>>375799892

Why the fuck would you want to meet a whale though. Are the people on /vg/ really this lonely and retarded? Good fucking god, these people are truly pathetic manchildren.

>>375802057
>>375802802
To be honest, the localizations themselves don't bother me as much as their games being filled with severe bugs and never getting patched

>>375803928
What part of NEET JRPG fans do you not understand.

>>375803963
I'm a NEET and a RPG fan. I still wouldn't do that.

>>375803848
ah ok, then that's fine. If they took out japanese audio, I would not buy this.

>>375803997
/jrpgg/ did.

>>375803959
That's generally not NISA's fault, localization studios don't actually implement the translations - unless they handle PC ports. I know folks like to point to the shit that happened with Ar Tonelico, but it's worth mentioning that for a while after KT dropped NISA for Gust shit the games still had lots of bugs. Beyond that, name a single game they've localized that WASN'T either Gust or an NIS property that had major bugs... you can't.

>>375803959
>their games being filled with severe bugs and never getting patched
Wait which company are we talking about? Aksys? I don't think their games were really buggy, though they do never patch their games from what I noticed.
As for NISA, I played Yomawari from them and didn't have problem, though others did seem to have some issues, but they've patched it quite a few times, including a DX10 patch a little while back too. I haven't tried Rose yet but people don't seem to have problem with it from what I'm reading on the Steam reviews and forums atm.

>>375804161
A lot of NISA-published games have been buggy, but I wouldn't say it's generally NISA's fault so much as NIS's. Their PC ports have been fine.

>>375804259
Yeh I can't say anything for console versions since I haven't owned a console since the PS1. The only really buggy PC port was Disgaea 1 and they actually patched it a LOT to the point it's playable now.

>>375803825
Nah, that's glossy bullshit. You can certainly expect a 20-something JRPG nerdboy to slave over some high school girl and buy 'em nendos and shit at cons because she calls herself a "loli" for attention, but going out of their way to stalk and track down addresses and follow someone to work is pushing it no matter what group you're in. Unless you work fr Publisher's Clearing House and are walkingaround with a 3x5' fat ass check in your hands, people need to stay in their own goddamn lane.

>>375803928
You forget that she was sort of the matron Senran Kagura deity at the time before getting turned off herself from it and eventually moving on to head Trails. I know it's been mentioned in the past that a lot of Gaters embraced her for being big on SK and cosplaying from it and such.

>>375803820

Ahhh, that WAS it. Thanks for jogging my memory on the matter. The only thing I strongly remembered from her tumblr was all the shirtless TigerxBunny and occasional food posts.

>>375804058
>That's generally not NISA's fault, localization studios don't actually implement the translations - unless they handle PC ports.

It's Nisa's fault because they did the console translation and PC port directly ports their translations as well.

Saving at the end of a chapter has a high chance of corrupting the save

Never corrupted for me, must've been lucky.

>>375805106
I mean you can strip the guys too and they get gallery images or whatever

>>375805726
That's pretty much it. It's not really fujo, it's just a bunch of guys in underwear. The actual game is guy x girl romance.

>>375805659
I closed the game after finishing the second to last chapter only to see that i wasn't able to load my save anymore when I picked my Vita up again

>>375806490
Were you on CFW? It happens to every game on CFW after awhile. Gotta restart the system.

>>375806581
Nope. It's at least somewhat common, you can find other forum posts with the same problem. It's not Witch and the Hundred Knight bad, but just another nail in NISA's coffin for me

>>375806886
It's less of a problem nowadays though since you can just get the PC version which is generally bug-free.

There's a demo on JP PSN of the first 3 chapters, which is about 4-6 hours long. You can go try the game for yourself and see how bad it is.

You can't really blame XSeed for picking it up, though, considering they did it around the same time it was announced in Japan.

>>375807334
It is. Beat sold 10k in Japan compared to Japan's 140k for Trip so you can tell the Japanese didn't care for it either.

They seem decent to me, haven't had any problem with them yet. Also looking at the reviews they seem to be doing them fine for others too.
For infos these are the games I got from them:

I was tempted to get Tokyo Legacy but I heard it was pretty bad and the abbreviations were confusing so I didn't bother in the end.
