Yes, I think in this particular case it is a reasonable opinion to have.

Somehow I think we have Idea Factory to thank for this.

It's very clearly Kadokawa and Demon Gaze
But they probably did it because of the Idea Factory Illuminati so I guess you're right

The immense success of their games in the US had to have been an influence.
Heh, that still reduces to IFI. I like it.

I think we should travel back in time and kill those Wizardry guys!
I'm not sure I'd call IFI's sales "immense success". They're still pretty niche, outside of a novelty-driven surge of ReBirth 1 on Steam.
This thread has literally just shit the bed.

I'd say it is a reasonable opinion to have. It'd be like if a foreign localization of The Last Of Us replaced Ellie's model so that she looked like an anime character with giant tits just flopping about.

Neptunia did so well that it got IFI their own branch. Someone made serious bank off that franchise.
It was a fun game with some creepy pandering that Experience are better than resorting to. Yet, it sold like hotcakes, so there you go.

Still no doubt preferable to whatever the alternative is, I'm sure.

With the option to not have it look like that, so this would be a non-issue. Get your examples right. :>

To be fair, this thread is already almost half as long as the import OT. The attention-grabbing/controversial art style might have been a good move after all.

So, NISA are publishing this on PC too?
Pretty amusing that they lose their boss who sets up IFI and makes a killing on PC ports, and then slowly but surely they realise they should be doing the same thing.
Also I have to say, NISA really dropping the ball with actual localization announcements lately.
1st half of 2014 they push out DanganRonpa; W&THK; Demon Gaze; Mugen Souls Z; Neptunia PP & Battle Princess. 2015 it's Criminal Girls; HTOL#NIQ; Awakened Fate & Operation Abyss. Every single game a new localization.
This year, they've got 3 games scheduled so far for H1 (and running out of time for anything else to make that window). Of those games, 1 is a port, 1 had already been translated by September 2015 (so they're just sitting on it) and 1 is a new localization. 1 game is all their translators have been working on to make it out recently.
If they'd had a very busy 2015 I'd understand, but they haven't even. The last half of last year only had 3 games which is fairly quiet for them.
What the hell are you doing, NISA? =/

Yes, surely, of all the things said in this thread, not liking Demon Gaze is the most brazen.

Having the option for such an absurd, fetishistic replacement would still be an insult towards the original artist. Use your head a little.
Indeed, and your posts are prime examples of that.

if posting "no u" is the best you can do, your argument can't be very good

Just posting to say that the reasoning for this (it was on advice from NI? or someone besides Experience?) is what unnerves me. That's where the true danger lies.
Also portrait replacement is aces if the art is too ugoo or uguuuu.

Never heard of this game but just checked out some gameplay. I feel this game will do quite well on PC.

I hope the publisher does a bit of PR and not just put the game on Steam without any notice (like DQH e.g.).
What is the game difficulity and how easier to get in to compare to others dungeon crawler.
I did play Elminage Original(PSP) and found out that it too difficult
I think Wizardry:tales of forsaken land(PS2) and Etrian Odyssey series are more suit to my skills.
So do you think this game is beyond my skill or not.

This is more like Elminage Original. TotFL was a pretty damn hard game, too.

If I'm not mistaken you can put custom character portraits in the game (at least in the pc version):
But every portrait should be John Cena in different outfits...

I'm dying. Would've bought it anyway since Demon Gaze was the most enjoyable game I played last year, but this just seals the deal.The Vita and Xbox one versions at least will let you switch between two styles
Original
and anime
At this point, I feel like the only reason there is no Vita emulator on PC is because it would be quite redundant.
Why... the original looks so much better and unique tbh.The Vita and Xbox one versions at least will let you switch between two styles
Original

I can't at the witch/goddesses/whatever in the right side exposing her breasts for the anime edition T_T
You know, I was going to joke that the only thing missing from the generic anime version was an ahoge, because you know it's truly crossed the threshold when there's ahoge. I was going to add one in in MSpaint.
Turns out there already is. Just really hard to see
I can't stop laughing.
A mess but still will check the game since I need a new Dungeon Crawler in my life and I heard good things about Experience Inc.

Not really, as it doesnt use the older classic system. The game that would be closer to the those Wiz titles would be Elminage Gothic.

I don't usually play these kind of games, but I'd definitely prefer the Original art style rather than the latter

Imagine you are the first artist and then see your stuff replaced, yikes.
So much hyperbole is making my head spin.
The only thing I can say is that I find dungeon crawlers to be a good "pick up for 15 minutes and get some levels in" game and not a "sit down and play for 2 hours" game. Has nothing to do with PC vs anything else, but rather handheld vs monitor/TV.
But this got ported from pc TO Vita. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯I'm perfectly fine with anime style stuff and Senran Kagjra level designs, but the redesigns for this game are just embarrassing when the original art is so amazing. I actually want the Vita limited edition because the art is so good, and I almost never pay extra for that mind of stuff.

The thing is, its Optional the selections so it does not really matter if the new designs are in there or not. As it is not as if any of the versions have the new art style as the only default setting that is unable to be changed.

It's being given that as a public face on the XB1 version, though.

game looks good and I know what style I'll be using
Whatever it is, the recent trailers use the original art.

Well...I for one am excited.
holy shit custom portraits in PC version is fantastic. I'd swap my fave anime chicks in
lol I don't even know what's worse; the game or its fans

I never said it shouldn't be an option ... I said it's embarassing. It is.
I mean you could put up finger painted replacements up for the art in the Louvre, give people the choice to see that or the original, and the finger painted stuff looks embarassing in contrast ... That's what we've got here. Infantile art versus a dark gothic that captures the mood of the game.
Sp, yeah, its embarassing ... And if someone prefers an inferior style, more power to 'em, but ... Yuck.

If you let people choose to see original art or anime version in Louvre, I bet it would get even more popular with tourist.
