Those looking forward to "Xenoblade 2", you're going to be disappointed

Nintendo is disappointing enough all by itself.

Combine it with NoA and I actively want them to fail.

They don't give a shit. Why should you?

I'd rather get the NoE localization anyhow after Xenoblade Chronicles being delightfully British throughout the whole thing. Hell, the "oi it's seven bong" localization made it unique.

Because I actually want to play the game the developer produced, not some butchered, half-assed title that someone else claims is the developers intended game.

Also, to those laughing and shitposting, what makes you think I don't know Japanese?

Every time

With Xeno X I still had fun with it though, the same probably wont be said for something like TMS.

Nintendo has been a censorship apologist since their entrance in the vidya ring, they won't change.

If you're going that route buy the Japanese version of the switch too. Just in case they decide to region lock individual games.

Depends on who's handling the western localization. But yes, I am fully expecting it to get censored or memed myself.

Problem: A lot of games that see worldwide release tend to just borrow the NA English script if they come to PAL. Unless NoE themselves in handling it (and even then I have my doubts in them, considering I hear they since blacked a lot of characters in that style savvy game for the 3DS), chances are a PAL release would just have the same English script as NA, albeit maybe with some spellings tweaked to their Euro-English counterparts (Color to colour, etc).

It's worth considering that the only reason XC Wii had NoE handling the game is because they still saw the potential for a local market while NoA themselves didn't want anything to do with it until NA customers had begged and pleaded. Had they seen fit to bring it to NA at the same time PAL did, I expect it would have been the opposite situation (NoA handles the English version, NoE borrows it).

Wouldn't surprise me if noJ either isn't aware of it or is perfectly fine with it, depending on how much NoA actually tells them. Obviously they keep giving permission for stuff to come overseas, but I'd figure that NoA is telling them bullshit that these localization induced changes HAVE to be done because "western sensibilities can't handle it" or something, either to get more shekels from the localization process, or because NoA/Treehouse themselves hates "icky" content in games. Doesn't help that western vidya "journos" are really prone to throwing a shitfit over games not being "PC" enough, too sexual, etc.

SJWs confirmed worse than religious fundies.
