I mean, it's a little unorthodox to have a bunch of words be a final boss, so I can understand being a little peeved.
Admittedly, the latter part didn't happen in the Witcher 3 as much as it was the title spoilering. It's more something I'd expect in a Persona 5 video where the boss may be someone you don't expect like

I actually did get surprised that the one dude wasn't another boss.

Don't give them any attention. They don't have a grip on reality at all. It's not worth paying attention to someone who is unreasonable and will cover their ears like a child when they hear they're wrong
Disappointed by the 2017 date, but it is what it is. I'll have other games to fill the large hole in my heart. Collector's Edition looks great. Perhaps not quite as good as the Japanese one because the Soundtrack will almost certainly not be as substantial, but very good for the price.
Really, Really, Really hope they figure out Dual Audio. No offense to Atlus US dubs. They are probably the best in the business. The Japanese cast is just too amazing to pass up. Even if I have to pay something crazy like $20 to justify any extra cost of adding it in, I'm more than willing to do it.

The 8 month wait for P5 in English is what kills me the most, too. That's 2/3 of a full year. That's essentially 3 entire seasons away (summer, fall, winter). I don't have the patience to wait 8 months to play this game for the first time, so I'll be importing. Sure, I won't understand most of anything (I know very basic, rudimentary Japanese), but I'll be able to experience it and have it in my PS4 in September. And then I'll purchase the localised version in February.

Right on, I mostly thought it was funny. And I tried to change dickish to fresh right away because I thought it was a more appropriate descriptor. But you might be on to something, because I think you are the only PR person I know by name in the industry other than a couple of NoA people.
Wait, are people seriously trying to spin Hardin's attitude on twitter as dickish?
That is goddamn rich coming from a fanbase filled with people who love to vent their frustration in the most screwed up way, like that guy who tweeted "i'm going to kill Hardin at E3". Fuck that. If anything, the fact that Hardin actively responds on twitter, forums, reddit is more than we deserved. Everyone is quick to forget the awesome shit that AtlusUSA is always responsible for, but they'll always rail on them for "2015." Yeah "2015" and "2016" were bad PR moves, but whatever, they don't deserve the unending verbal abuse from their "fans."
Not even dickriding AtlusUSA. Just saying it like it is.

Honestly, If I had his job, I'd be pretty sassy too. I mean jesus.
Death threats are stupid. Death threats over a delayed video game are probably the apex of stupidity.
They are, but it should't even only apply to the extreme. There's no need to be shitty at any level, yet it's all too common. A lot of those people probably think "at least I'm NOT sending death threats", but it's the difference between bad and worse, honestly. Well articulated criticisms are rare. It's usually insults or snippy shitposting
I agree with you and still, death threats are on another level of idiocy. That being said, you're completely right. People have to realize that any PR manager is a human being.

I glanced at it and I haven't seen anything even remotely dickish, but since this is The Internet I'm sure people have taken issue with something or other.

Oh, yeah. That's the worst. That really hurts.
Yeah, I don't mean to dilute your point at all. I just think saying to yourself "well, I'm not THAT bad" is an easy trap to fall into, especially if you're frustrated or upset. You really don't need to threaten someone's life to shit up their day.

Wait, what?
And thanks for the kind words, but dickish (which he since changed...maybe I misinterpreted it initially?) is kinda apt. I've said some pretty shitty things to people on reddit, etc. I mean, I still stand by what I said to them, but it was pretty rough around the edges. A couple of complaints have been filed against me by the public. But you know what? ┐(ツ

Personally I would welcome a version of P5 where Morgana's head is floating in front of every awkward cleavage/butt shot. Fingers crossed for that as DLC.

People don't get that's so Morgana can fit on the box cover and be in relatively the same area?

I don't think it's terribly apt. You've been very active at your job in regards to interacting with the public. In general you're also kind and pleasant when dealing with people who aren't being rude or unacceptable themselves. Yeah, there may have been one or two poorly worded posts in there that aren't acceptable of a PR, but hell if I'm gonna condemn a person for one mistake.
Put simply, I agree with PK.
Might as well retroactively offer it for Persona 3 and Persona 4 as well. Instead of a hotsprings scene, the image has been replaced by Morgana and Teddie. $10 DLC.

Well, John Hardin clarified that after quoting the Destructoid article that implied censorship.
Then a good deal of us put Destructoid on blast for trying to get people riled up.
So yes, I'm sure most of us are quite aware.

I'd honestly consider that an improvement, but I'm probably just being a grump about those scenes.
Damn! I haven't been to Dtoid in a LONG time, but I didn't think they put out trash articles like that.
I'm also not really familiar with PR reps and such, but Hardin seems to do a good job. The only negative was the "2015" thing, and it didn't go over too badly this time since we didn't really have any "2016" stuff aside from initial press releases. Much, much better than from what I've seen of NoA who seem to only communicate through press releases and canned responses that look like they came out of a textbook of 'How to say thing that could mean multiple things'. I'm guessing NoA isn't really a high benchmark though.

Eh. I'm with you. I have no issue with some fanservice here and there (and enjoy it on many occasions, to be honest), but the hotspring scenes in Persona games are mostly flops. They just feel overly manipulative in context. The don't add anything and just don't feel necessary. The bathhouse scene in P4G is especially egregious.
Blood and wine? Sounds gnarly.

Oh I didn't even know about the Destructoid article. Good on people for shutting that down. It was pretty obvious though if you took a moment to study the cover.

I honestly liked Golden's scene the most because it was restricted to a single cutscene with no aftermath.

It would unironically improve both of those games, particularly P3's, which is so remarkably ill-timed.
the biggest thing i remember about the hot springs scene in p4 is that i played it in pcsx2 and i had, i think, antialiasing on? and the fog effects in the hot spring made the framerate drop like a rock until i turned AA off so the whole thing happened in slow motion and it was really surreal.

Yes, PS4 is completely region free. You'll need a Japanese account for any DLC though.
D'toid is pretty bad the past couple years. And on life support. They really do need the hits.
Really tempted to import this now that there's a long delay. I created a Japanese PSN account years ago too, but I don't know if I can actually dig up the login still.
In theory the higher fidelity let's them cut way way down on descriptive language like that. There's no need to put that in text form when I'm looking right at an animated model.

Speaking of censors, I think the FFXIV team did a really good job placing their Nutkins

P5's engine SHOULD allow them to change the mouths to match the english audio. It's a pretty common thing in general. It generally depends on whether or not cutscenes are done in the engine or are pre-rendered.
This is important because I feel as though half the reason the dubs for P3 & P4 were so good was because teh voice actors didn't have to lip-synch too often.
Did Catherine change lip-flaps for the English version or were they left as is, because I'm not too sure about that.
Some of them apparently changed: http://www.siliconera.com/2011/03/23/catherine-animation-being-lip-synced-to-english-localization/
