Support NeoGAF

[SolarPowered]

Actually what weirds me out is that she still acts like a child. Which is... really weird, since she looks like a child, and acts like a child, so you'd think the two would be congruous or whatever, but then you get to an S-level support and she's wearing that weird bikini-skin thing and it's like what are you doing

She's a great character aside from the fact that I feel like a creep even looking at her character sprite

Maybe one of those things where getting older just leads to you not taking things too seriously. I've met older people like that. They just let bygones be bygones and don't try to push their agenda on people and they like to poke fun at the younger generation. That attire is something you can only attribute to Japan though lol. There ain't no excuse for that.

 

[Thoraxes]

It looks like Chrom's standing behind her now...

Dammit Chrom, you cheating bastard.

He's married to someone else in my game.

 

[That Dude John]

Not like this

Oh, ok. Seems fair enough.

Is it even official?

No clue. Just quoting someone else. Might not be official for all I know. lol #isanobserver Edit: Apparently, it is.

Gonna tell your straight, we me less is always more. Tease me and let me imagine what your hiding, rather than stripping nekkid and laying it all out like a happy meal.

I can get behind that line of thinking. Happy meals can be awesome sometimes, though.

Tharja is probably the most blatent they've ever gone in this direction

One of the lead characters, I'm assuming?

That's not really how Nowi acts though. She's more like "OOOH SHINY" and in general acts like she has the attention span of a 6 year old who constantly reminds you that she's a thousand years old... and then throws a temper tantrum

 

[PK Gaming]

The one on the right looks even more suggestive

but damn... i love a good ass and I HATE censorship

Seems smart to me. Excises the cheesy fanservice from the main game, gives the pervy fans what they want, Nintendo makes bank money.

*buys DLC pack*

I, uh, just want the additional support convos.

ahahahahahahaha

 

[Thoraxes]

Wait a second, it's Nintendo funding Bayonetta 2?

lttp

I married her in my game because hell yeah dragons.

LOL that sounds ridiculous. Doesn't sound like she has much personality at all. Oh well, I'll find out someday when Pokemon forces my hand on the 3DS.

 

[Jintor]

It's kind of adorable except for the bit where you can marry her off to all these dudes

I married her off to the youngest dude in my party and I still felt super skeevy

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Hot DAMN Tharja.

My fave in FEA.

 

[Chrom]

One of the lead characters, I'm assuming?

Not at all.

 

[rpmurphy]

Nowi/Vaike is OTP though.

 

[zashga]

care to point out the hilarity? also, reading comprehension. fanservice anime crap

It's dumb fanservice DLC. Do what I do and ignore it.

 

[Electivirus]

I had her paired off with Libra because I really didn't know what the hell else to do with that dude.

 

[Piers]

Reminds me of what happened with Feel the Magic's box covers between Japan and international:

The bikini made the boobs show off more so than the nude.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I had her paired off with Libra because I really didn't know what the hell else to do with that dude.

You leave him in the barracks forever, thats what.

 

[Freezie KO]

I don't know what's worse. That this is what Fire Emblem means to some people; or that they felt the need to censor this in the US.

 

[Giolon]

FWIW, Marth is getting a non-fanservicey figma (some of the best action figures available):

 

[Jintor]

You leave him in the barracks forever, thats what.

So true.

Poor, useless Libra. Him and Freddie can hang out.

 

[That Dude John]

Not at all.

Oh. So, she was hot and gets everyone's blood flowing?

 

[zroid]

This thread is turning out well, I think

 

[Jintor]

One of the lead characters, I'm assuming?

About as main as a party member who can die at any time gets in a Fire Emblem game

Oh. So, she was hot and gets everyone's blood flowing?

Yeah, that's about it

 

[Chrom]

Oh. So, she was hot and gets everyone's blood flowing?

I guess you can say that, haha. She really is popular, even among the devs.

 

[Einbroch]

Tharja is lame.

 

[Thoraxes]

I had her paired off with Libra because I really didn't know what the hell else to do with that dude.

Poor Libra.

I put him with Cordelia.

 

[not psycho]

That's it, I'm going back to my first love in SRPGs.

Now, how is the Shining series doing...

 

[WrenchNinja]

Oh. So, she was hot and gets everyone's blood flowing?

She's a crazy dark skimpily dressed stalker chick who's in love with your player character for no reason and wants to kill anyone who comes near you. Its easy to see why she has attracted the fanbase she has.

But that is literally all there is to her character.

 

[Plywood]

Seymour Butz

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Kids ruin everything.

They are always the excuse for censorship.

 

[Jintor]

But that is literally all there is to her character.

Well, Fire Emblem characters have always been one-note gimmick characters, with the possible exception of primary story characters.

 

[Shoyz]

Every time a game gets censored I lose all desire to play it.

Granted, I was off-put by FE already by the huge amount of DLC content, but this just seals the deal on me not buying it..

 

[WrenchNinja]

Absolutely true.

 

[Instro]

Technically speaking, DLC is getting censored and you apparently don't buy DLC so...?

 

[PKrockin]

So who's upset about this again? I mean, it's not like you guys actually buy all this DLC just to see a picture of a girl in a bikini... right?

 

[Shoyz]

Technically speaking, DLC is getting censored and you apparently don't buy DLC so...?

Off-put, not that I wouldn't buy it. Bit painful to drop $40 on it knowing there's a bunch of DLC I'll want to get on top of that.

 

[Femmeworth]

Oh Nintendo.

 

[Giolon]

Every time a game gets censored I lose all desire to play it.

Granted, I was off-put by FE already by the huge amount of DLC content, but this just seals the deal on me not buying it..

But...only the optional DLC that's already putting you off has been censored? So...don't buy any of the DLC? None of it is really integral to the story.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

So who's upset about this again? I mean, it's not like you guys actually buy all this DLC just to see a picture of a girl in a bikini... right?

I feel like this is a bad way to look at the situation.

Censorship is ridiculous in such a petty context.

 

[Jintor]

So who's upset about this again? I mean, it's not like you guys actually buy all this DLC just to see a picture of a girl in a bikini... right?

I just think the idea of region-based censorship is stupid is all

 

[WrenchNinja]

So who's upset about this again? I mean, it's not like you guys actually buy all this DLC just to see a picture of a girl in a bikini... right?

No, its bought for the riveting narrative.

 

[ohlawd]

So who's upset about this again? I mean, it's not like you guys actually buy all this DLC just to see a picture of a girl in a bikini... right?

I've bought all the DLC.

Summer Scramble is my favorite DLC ever by virtue of swimsuits.

 

[Camp Lo]

USA is all fucked up when it comes to sex

 

[That Dude John]

Yeah, that's about it

I guess you can say that, haha. She really is popular, even among the devs.

lol, I'm just making observations.

She's a crazy dark skimpily dressed stalker chick who's in love with your player character for no reason and wants to kill anyone who comes near you. Its easy to see why she has attracted the fanbase she has.

But that is literally all there is to her character.

Yeah, that explains a lot.

 

[zroid]

Oh Nintendo.

With you, I'm not sure which aspect of the story you're more offended by.

 

[Gestahl]

Well, Fire Emblem characters have always been one-note gimmick characters, with the possible exception of primary story characters.

Not to this extent, no.

 

[Persona86]

japan.

There are some exceptions.

e.g
Rina Akiyama has a decent bum.

Small video clip.

And Rui Kiriyama has extra below and above too.

Spoiler

sorry if this is too rude

Search youtube and dailymotion for a closer look.


Anyway the US image in the OP seems more suggestive to me lol.

I didn't really like her anyway.

 

[Hours Left]

A silly and unnecessary change that hilariously has the opposite effect of what they were trying for.

Sad to see that Nintendo still thinks edits like this are required.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

FWIW, Marth is getting a non-fanservicey figma (some of the best action figures available):

Of course he is, since he's a male character and apparently only female characters can be objectified. Not that it matters though. I have a distaste for blatant fan-service just as much as I dislike obtrusive censorship, so I guess this whole situation's a wash. :/
