Then they should also add blood, gore, big guns, heavy metal music and Jet Packs (that would finally explain why they can fly)...

So Japan is basically saying us Americans have ADD problems and can't read an indepth tutorial, nor spend more than 10 hours to beat a game.



When I read the title stating they changed things for "cultural differences", I had first thought they would take out loli action and whatnot. But instead, they just edited it to be quicker because we're stupid. Nice.

That's not what they're saying. They are saying because people are busy and time is short, ie fast food.

They aren't marketing to you, they're marketing to big kids.

It's not gimped, just from the demo alone I think it's a lot better. I predict they are going to release an EX version in Japan with the new changes from the US version.

They added more cutscenes and they removed others to shorten it.

when they said cultural differences I thought dialong, outfits, E.T.C cuz sometimes the Japanese are a lttle pervy . lol I love it . yea that fast food ,adhd-add, comment was offensive but true i get tired of tutorial's that last 2 long or cut scene's u can't skip but u've seen a thousand times. i.e crisis core

Sucks. I rather have the Japanese version then. No point if you're going to shorten it cause some American players don't have the patience.

Have you played DOA or Soul Caliber? I think what they are doing with the Story Mode is make the story play out wit just battles like other fighting games. This makes sense, the majority of popular fighting games does this and to be honest it is a better way of telling a story. The whole world map RPG element could be a secondary mode.

Localization is fine when the original context is conserved! I think Dissidia will conserve it essence but I've got some very very bad examples of localization such as Ace Combat 3! the japanese version was incredible and the story was worth it! In the US version they cut everything! no story, no paths to choose, nothing! That was so mean!

Japan STILL thinks westerners are dumb apes with ADD. Remember Final Fantasy 5?

Good thing I'm learning Japanese

In a single player mode, other fighters story modes suck. You play through boring as hell battle after battle that aren't any fun and gives you story in between.



I liked the World Map mode on Dissidia. It actually cut away from the battles and made it more enjoyable of an experience. The Dissidia AI is either too easy or too hard(on level 9 blocking everything so you have to actually block first if you want to attack, boring as *****.) So the World Map actually made the game better than most fighters.



I had to force myself to play through the boring as ***** SC4 story modes. I usually only played online. On SF4 before Championship mode came out, I was in the 500's on ranking(now its near impossible to find someone playing ranking.) I still haven't beaten the game with all the characters solely because of how boring it is. I've finished more hard trials with characters than beating the game because even Very Hard is a joke because of the retarded computer.



Basically. Any story mode where you play against nothing but computer opponents is boring as hell. Which is why all the additions to Dissidia made it much better.

I like japanese games but I can't finish them because I can't understand it and naruto for example, I haven't played a single game of it in english becaue of lousy voice acting..

why spend an hr explaining something that can be done in mins? that's just stupid and inefficient. what does a tutorial add to the game? absolutely nothing. doesnt add to the story and doesn't add to the experience.



so enjoy your tutorial, loser
