I didn't even notice the change when I watched the latest PV.
I've always thought the black underwear outfit was a bit much for Kiria and the game. Outside of summery stuff, I can't think of an East Asian MV or concert clip that has a performer with such an outfit. The pants look like something a pop idol would actually be wearing on the place and time Kiria's on.

I know the video game corner of the internet is extremely sensitive to such edits. I'm gonna stick my head out there and say that this change is more appropriate for grounding the game's fashion.

Of course, I guess I'll be seeing a concert clip of a singer totally in a bikini for an city concert at night in sometime by someone trying to prove their point.

I really don't care about it either way. What matters most to me is the spirit of Japanese performance and lifestyle is left intact in the game no matter what localization or censorship is performed. I agree, I have never seen a Japanese pop singer with an outfit quite like that. I suppose it was a little edgy originally.

Stratos · « **Reply #78 on:** December 04, 2015, 12:00:14 AM »

Are we sure that you can't change outfits and both will be available in the game?

ejamer · « **Reply #79 on:** December 04, 2015, 12:33:52 AM »

Both available? Possible. Not likely, based on Nintendo's recent trends when localizing games.

I think the costume change is in good taste.

Not sure that makes it necessary or even beneficial, and not sure that I like the continuing trend of Nintendo covering things up - whether they need to be or not - for Western audiences. (Oddly, the best solution seems to realizing that if it's not acceptable anywhere else in the world then it probably shouldn't be acceptable in Japan either... Set a higher standard worldwide, so to speak. But that suggestion clearly isn't going to gain any traction.)

Finally, that stuff isn't even coming out in Japan.

(Notably also gone: The, um, access zipper. Or so I heard.)

Holy ****, NOA is now censoring the original Japanese version of games. Even NCL can't control Reggie anymore.

Triforce Hermit · « **Reply #82 on:** December 04, 2015, 07:19:33 AM »

That would seem something like different choice of apparel to show off the game. The outfit might still be in the game. But we know nothing about being able to change outfits (like Stratos said).

If this is censorship, I don't care. I'm playing for gameplay and narrative, not for lewd clothing. The people who complain about this stuff and make it a make or break situation for their purchase are.....I'm going to stop myself.

Evan_B · « **Reply #83 on:** December 04, 2015, 04:50:59 PM »

If you're playing a Japanese game for any reason OTHER than it's questionable content you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

That is why we play Mario and Zelda, right?

In this specific case with Kiria's big performance, this is a change to an FMV cutscene of the game. The costume change should be permanent.

A flashy video on the game's Extra Skills:

Siliconera has an article to explain them:

Having elements of a character's performance in a commercial make its way in to an attack is just so right.

Enner · « **Reply #86 on:** December 29, 2015, 05:46:48 PM »

Heads up. If some rumblings bear out, we should brace for some low sales numbers for this game's debut in Japan.

Shaymin · « **Reply #87 on:** December 29, 2015, 08:12:00 PM »

Also, a word of warning from friend of the site Syrenne: The battle load times off a disc are bad. Like, FFV and VI PS1 port bad. (9 seconds.)

Well I toughed out the Anthology load times I supposed I can tough this out too. But there is no excuse for this.

Oedo · « **Reply #89 on:** December 30, 2015, 09:04:37 PM »

At first the numbers I saw surprised me (~24,000 according to Famitsu)... but, then again, do MegaTen/FE fans really have a reason to own a Wii U? I don't know how the media campaign was handled in Japan and what they marketed the game as, but I can see how this would be a hard sell given how it started out as "SMT x FE" and turned into something that didn't line up with most people's initial expectations.

Still day one for me though. I'm glad they changed that costume, cuz it was the most bizarre looking thing in the trailers. And that's saying something.

Evan_B · « **Reply #90 on:** January 05, 2016, 07:41:33 PM »

This has strangely become my most anticipated game on Wii U in the future. I don't give a damn about Star Fox and we know nothing of Zelda so this is taking top priority.

Same here. I'm concerned that localization-shy/cheap NoA might choose to pass on bringing this over since it's not performing well in Japan. Even Atlus might find the return on investment prohibitive. The only thing really working in this game's favor is that the Wii U doesn't have much else this year.

Evan_B · « **Reply #92 on:** January 06, 2016, 07:54:04 AM »

I highly doubt NoA will pass this up after toting it so hard during last year's E3 and Nintendo Direct. This is not the same as Devil's Third in that it actually IS selling and will likely have better legs. Devil's Third was hush hush even during the E3 it was unveiled, and only featured in sizzle reels after that.

Also, Atlus will likely do their own localization. There's a high chance for decent sales in the West given Atlus' star power as of late.

TOPHATANT123 · « **Reply #93 on:** January 06, 2016, 10:02:22 AM »

Best case scenario would be that it's localised by Atlus and published by Nintendo of Europe in both regions.

Soren · « **Reply #94 on:** January 06, 2016, 10:59:48 AM »

My only worry is this being a digital only release.

Same here.

The ridiculous loading times aren't good news. But much like Fatal Frame it's retail or nothing for me. If this comes out in North America as a digital only game I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

Triforce Hermit · « **Reply #96 on:** January 06, 2016, 12:57:12 PM »

Only reason I would want physical is if they offered an Atlus special edition standard. While I am always pro-physical over digital, in this case I would personally support digital. And know how NOA is? We will be lucky if we even get that.

Evan_B · « **Reply #97 on:** January 07, 2016, 01:03:15 AM »

I mean, Atlus is pretty good at doing special editions. I would take a Fortissimo release, myself. Even if that was the only physical form of release.

I'm desperate, here.

Soren · « **Reply #98 on:** March 03, 2016, 05:50:36 PM »

Release date, title, and original Japanes voice acting! Can't get any better than that.

Excellent news, it will at least be receiving a physical release in Europe because of the "Also will be available in the Nintendo Eshop" emphasis on the also. Really looking forward to playing a meaty RPG on Wii U, and with non of the "Eat your Hamburgers Apollo" localisation approach that just wouldn't suit such a Japanese game.
