Localization

>>387857120
Localization in dialogues is fine. Changing the race of a main or side character is not something you see everyday

>>387857027
You already know the reason. I wanna know why they felt the need to change the beanie though.

Because Atlus. They make even more arbitrary changes to third-party games.

This is what you get for insisting on playing weeb games in English. If you can't even speak the language, why settle for the video game equivalent of a 4Kids dub?

They were all basically american anyway. Mark? Brown?

They had to explain his mad dance skills.

>>387857027

So reactionaries years later would be upset and whine about how you can't make black characters white.

Wasn't the localization also missing huge chunks of the actual game?

>>387858132
That's her normal quote though, isn't it? Pretty sure it's just some Japanese thing that doesn't translate well.

>>387857295
Localization of dialogue is pretty much just translation. Localization is a lot more than translation though.
You can just say that it's bad localization. We all know it.

>>387859651
My point is that this is too much.
Please name 3 other games that went this far.

I remember the Soulcalibur games, for a long while, replaced Mitsurugi with this guy in Europe.

http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Arthur

Not trying to argue you, I just thought it was interesting.

>>387860513
Arthur is a special case, samurai are illegal in Korea so the just stuck a blonde guys head on Mitsurugi and called him a knight
And I could be mistaken but that's also why Hwang was created for Soul Blade

>being so cucked that you fear the samurai

I'll probably never forget this change

>>387862845
this gave me quite the giggle

>>387859048
They didn't bother translating the other Ice Queen Quest route, so it was literally missing half of the game.

>>387862574
Mobile poster.

>>387859048
Yeah like half the game was missing and also they lowered the encounter rate, which is fine, but they forgot to raise the amount of money earned to compensate for it (even though they remembered to do it with exp) so money shortage can be a thing in the game.

>>387862574
wow guys thats a lot of (you)'s

Oh shit it's Nioh

>>387859070
I was listening to a podcast where they mention it and the hosts flip out like it's the most racist thing ever, not taking into account the classical Japanese ideal of beauty ispale white skin.

I wouldn't be surprised if they still called it racist. Asians, Japanese in particular are fair game for sjw's lately. It really kills me that we live in a world where people flip out over anything and everything.

TIME TO CALL OUR HEROES

The race of the 'whacky cool guy' is region locked.

>>387857027
Literally blacked

>>387857027
>>387858043
It actually wasn't an arbitrary change. Idk about the dialogue in the original PS1 version, but in the PSP version at the Kama Palace, the Harem Queen at one point calls Mark (yellow beanie guy) a "monkey boy" because he was hating on her art. That's definitely why they changed him to white, didn't wanna trigger amerifats

>>387869527
???
He's Japanese in the original and they made him black for the US release

>>387862986
Did they really rename one of their characters to something that's pronounced "STD"?

>>387872071
Yes. Entirely intentionally.

>>387857027
Should I play this or SMT IV next, I just beat SMT 2
