Localization bs, rather than core Nintendo being involved.
I should have been more forceful. I am crazy about Super Mario RPG, the atmosphere is just so perfect. I have only played a bit of TTYD. The of Paper Mario is just pretty good, but TTYD is so universally praised that I am looking forward to picking it up.
Vivian was not trans. He was a cross dresser.
I'm curious as to how this is handled in this new game. Is the character actually referred to as "trans" in the game's dialogue, or are people just assuming he is?
Or more accurately: they had a crossdressing character in the original game as part of the humor, but now when they remake it, even in Japan the pressure is high to adjust and not offend anyone, and to make it seem more like a "trans" identity.
'Cause better locked 30 than going from 60 to 30. Consistency is always preferable.
The game is way more hardware intensive than some might believeRunning at 900p 30 fps like BOTW/TOTK. It's surprising that couldn't get 60 fps with the static world and 2D sprites.
Sticking with GC version with USB Loader GX and RetroTink 4K enhancements.
Yep. Complete idiocy.
So instead of being a crossdresser character, this is ideologically altered to align with the recent trans ideology of "actually I'm truly their sister / female, even though I had the male sex incorrectly assigned me at birth." This is very different from being a boy who dresses up; this is the much more recent ideology of having an inner gender identity irrespective of your body.
EDIT: actually I'm seeing reports that this line was added and altered in the Japanese of the remake as well (an entirely new line in the Japanese was added which is more carefully aligned with trans identity bs) so we can blame Nintendo for it, not just the localization teams

i think she was trans in j p as well i am wrong?
It's more than one altered line though, Goombette getting catcalled was too much for current day localizers as well.

What have they done to it? Tried to make it more cinematic or something?
Ruined it with a mass inclusion of trumpets which Nintendo seem to have done with a lot of games over the last few years. It sounds far too overproduced and doesn't have the same impact as the original.What have they done to it? Tried to make it more cinematic or something?
I'm sticking to the GC version for my first playthrough.
Thank god. I'll still stick to the original though.
You mean Goombella? A stickler for the dialogue yet cant get character names right. Makes sense
Also I dont really give a shit. The game has thousands of lines of dialogue. Im not some autist that remembers every single one. I wouldn't have even noticed had they not been brought up ad nauseum.
Don't see how that changes you trying to minimize the writing changes in the new version.You mean Goombella? A stickler for the dialogue yet cant get character names right. Makes sense
How many grains make a heap? If I don't care about the small changes, it will weaken my position once they do change something not so small.
I don’t get it. If someone didn’t care, they wouldn’t be constantly trying to silence/minimize/dismiss the topic.
If I were to play devil's advocate for him: I think he sees us like hardcore vegans telling how bad eating meat is every time we talk about food.

WRONG ANSWERNot exactly.
Like most everyone else Im tired as fuck about the changes or censoring happening in games and the subsequent tears afterwards on both sides. Its just the same cyclical responses over and over again and it just gets boring to me, despite destroying the hobby (no offense to anyone here since you guys more often than not make good arguments).
TTYD is in my top 20 of all time and yet for whatever reason I just dont give a rats about the minimal changes in what some characters say. I dont care that Vivian is trans since Ive thought she was for the past 20 years. I remember that hot topic being discussed back in like, '05. If anything Im bugged by the addition of the "pipe room"and what they're going to do with the original chapter travel pipes in the sewers. Like are the ones that were in the original still there? Or has it been replaced with enemies or something else? Or if they're going to fuck around with badge placement around the world. Those are the issues I take umbrage with. The unanswered questions lol
Apparently it's only mentioned two times in two sentences. I'll just ignore it.
