>SINoALICE, the Yoko Taro directed smartphone game with edgier depictions of fairy tale characters, will regretfully not make its predicted July 18th release date in the West as announced by the title’s developers.
>The main reason given for the delay has been cited as quality concerns for the game’s localization.
"They" are going to "localize" (read: censor) the shit out of it, aren't they? that's why the game is delayed
Why do "they" hate Japanese games so much?
Yoko Taro's new game delayed and possibly censored

It was already confirmed to be censored anyways going by some of the promo art
Isn't that the phone game? What would they censor even?
Its mobile shit who fucking cares
>mobile gacha shit
nobody cares.
>Sinoalice
>new
I almost cared until I read your post.
this game is gonna have to have some BIG ass anime titties for me to play it over every other gacha
oh no no no
How on Earth did the delicious brown tummy survive that hackjob "localization"?
>bust reductions for everyone
>sometimes into flat as board
sin
is this real? like, unironically real? what the fuck.
>mobile gacha
Good riddance.
And they've still got over a million in preregistrations.
What the fuck is wrong with these localization companies.
Why do they do this, there's no way this actually helps sales in any way.
>literally gave one of the girls a mastectomy
brutal
I saw the gameplay, another gacha game with chibi characters that look like a flash game... why don't you play epic seven instead if you're looking for a decent anime gacha with quality graphics and animation.
What's the matter, Yea Forums? I thought you liked this sort of thing!
nice clickbait title I almost got mad until I read smartphone game, who gives a fuck about phone games?
If it's about localization quality control of fairy tales, it's more likely that someone did a straight translation of the Japanese versions of famous fairy tales and didn't re-localize the specific terms.
One example that comes to mind is "Shiroyukihime", the Japanese name for Snow White. It's possible that the translator left it as Shiroyukihime, partially translated it as Princess Shiroyuki, fully translated it as White Snow Princess / Princess White Snow, instead of simply relocalizing it as Snow White. We don't say "princess" when referring to the character like Japan does. It reminds me of the Accel World debate with the character Kuroyukihime. It's not her actual name, but a name people call her. Literally "Black Snow Princess/Princess Snow Black", it would have been better to call her Snow Black. But there are plenty of people that would think calling her "Snow Black" instead of "Kuroyukihime" isn't a full accurate translation because every word isn't acknowledged in its Japanese order.
because epic 7 is such a scam that they're begging people to stay by giving away their rarest characters
its shit, desu
>"They" are going to "localize" (read: censor) the shit out of it, aren't they?
I think it'll be fine. Look at the guy they got to write the post apologizing for substandard localization barely knows English, either.
they know they can get away with it because they got Gatcha whales by the balls.
that's an omega yikes from me
Typical Nexon garbage.
Tiddies “Offend” them
These stupid fucks need to go back to church or something
With fairytale names it depends on where it comes in. In a blatant fairytale use like SoA or Mary Skelter you'd localize them to their proper equivelents. Shiroyukihime to Snow White.
For MMO/isekai and content of that kind of style that isn't a blatant fairytale reference you'd keep the Japanese name. In the case of Accel World. Kuroyukihime would stay Kuroyukihime as it isn't a direct name copy of an existing fairytale.
Who the fuck would want to play this shit now? Fuck these stupid companies
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NEW
And skipped
Are people that surprised by this? It's fucking Nexon in charge of bringing it over here.
Why is Nexon so shit?
Greed, laziness, and a hint of contempt for its customers.
Why is "Give Little Red Riding Hood weapons" such a popular meme?
But the censorship in this game probably took more effort to implement than leaving it alone would have
>shitty mobile game everyone already knew about for 2+ years
>new
>sell game on anime tiddy
>remove anime tiddy
?
Sell game on edgy fairy tales
lol
Where is the censored version from? The app store?
>We want the Tim Burton stans audience
and you are never going to get that when your game is anime
>edgier depictions of fairy tale characters
So, fairy tale characters.
Worked for Nippon Ichi Software
in what universe?
I don't care that it's mobile. I don't care that it's censored. But "Nexon". That's the devil's handiwork.
I will literally never understand the mindset of the people behind these retarded decisions. There has to be some accountability to the Japanese about this bullshit, because the "i-it'll make it palatable to a wider audience!" excuse is complete and utter bullshit. Not once has anyone ever uttered the phrase "You know, I really wanted to play this shitty cashgrab mobage, but the anime titties really prevent me from giving them money."
Heh. I was looking forward to seeing what this game was about too. Oh well.
The girl in the center bottom wasn't just covered up, they removed her boobs altogether
What are the chances this gets a decensor patch like Destiny Child?
Thats for china, not the english version, kill yourself immediatly
you can literally see it yourself on the english play store
Amazing job. I can now play it with my bros at work without being afraid of "anime tiddies xD" and promotions. Thanks Nexon.
?
This is a cropped screenshot of the game's pre-registration page on the app-store. My only hope here is that they're delaying the game to undo this shit
now I will not buy your game
Aren't Nexon notorious for shutting down games prematurely?
Mobile crap...WHY
>human body = bad
Amerucans are literal C.U.C.K.S
>shit phone game that's already out
I would tell you 日本語を勉強しろ, but fuck gatcha
imagine playing this kusoge instead of Another Eden
EOPs are dumb enough to think this game has basically any relation to Yoko Taro, it's pretty fucking funny.
I saw them 2 years ago, begging for a western release when the game game out. They really have no shame.
Have SQEX.
I already play Another Eden. The character design on this looked cool but i'm not so sure anymore
>gacha
The best mobile game is Mystic Messenger. The microtransactions are completely optional. Mobile games dont usually do this.
