Title: And now, the most generic RPG ever is announced: Cross Edge (WHY CAPCOM WHY)
Post by: Cho on May 07, 2008, 06:07:47 pm
God Capcom, why are you taking part in this? You should be ashamed.

Link (http://kotaku.com/387992/capcom-nippon-ichi-namco-bandai-gust-and-idea-factory-team-for-rpg-fans-wet-dream)

Remember a couple of years ago when they announced Namco x Capcom? It was a SRPG featuring prominent characters from both Namco and Capcom's vast collection of franchises, putting two original characters (Human Pikachu and Auron) at the center of the madness. It had huge sprites, Tron Bonne, and infused an action-based system with grid based SRPG goodness. And it still managed to be terrible. Unfortunately, it seems to have spawned clones, because people eat this shit up: Chaos Wars, a SRPG developed by Idea Factory, which features characters from the d-list of RPGs: Shadow Hearts, Growlanser, and about a dozen games unheard of outside of Japan, with a couple of SD original characters at the center of the madness. For the record, there is a reason a lot of these games stay in Japan.

Now, a group of d-list developers (and Capcom) have decided they want to do it again:
Capcom, Idea Factory, Gust and Nippon Ichi are creating an RPG with a couple of their "iconic" characters. "Iconic" is in quotations because Gust and Idea Factory don't have iconic characters because their characters are... their characters are anime in its rawest form: Generic, boring, interchangeable. This is mostly true for Nippon Ichi, but I'll give them points for looking somewhat distinctive. But then they lose points because N1 characters are what's wrong with anime in it's current trend: They sexualize characters that look about  7 years old. Christ, look at Etna (she is the red haired girl wearing a black leather bra).

Capcom is putting Darkstalkers characters in it. I think fans of Darkstalkers would much rather just have a new Darkstalkers game though. I'm kind of hoping  that's the point of this, to help generate some interest in Darkstalkers so when they announce a new one people will remember it. That has to be it, because it certainly doesn't fit in with the rest of the games (besides it being sprite-based).

See. the thing is, Namco x Capcom used popular characters from popular franchises (well, I'm told the characters from the Namco games are very big in Japan). That's why people bought it. I have a hard time believing anyone's going to say "HOLY CRAP I GET TO HAVE CHARACTERS FROM ATELIER MARIE, DISGAEA, SPECTRAL SOULS AND AR TONELICO TOGETHER IN THE SAME GAME??? SIGN ME UP!!!"

(This is where I remember that people in Japan willingly pay hundreds of dollars for PVC figurines of these characters and a little piece of me dies.)

I know a lot of you guys like anime and RPGs, but you should not support this sort of thing.

SHORT VERSION:
Characters from Capcom's Darkstalkers are going to appear in what looks like the worst, most generic RPG in the history of the world. The game will sell well in Japan because ANIME!GIRLS!MOE! (it will sell well in America because of this, too). Capcom should be ashamed of themselves for doing this.

So, it's like if Super Smash Bros were an RPG and instead of Nintendo characters they use Capcom characters and other 3rd party characters.

No that's a bad analogy.

The game features turn-based battles, a plot that involves rescuing souls, and...if you look to the bottom right corner of the scan...the ability to dress your characters up in a wide variety of outfits, from PE clothes to devil costumes.

sounds like it'll sell millions dude.  goty 2008

and i completely forgot that i had chaos wars preordered.  i bought the awful mana khemia last month (which sounds like a fucking disease) and i'm buying chaos wars this month because i know games like these instantly turn into gold mines on ebay within the year.  every nippon ichi game i purchased after disgaea is still wrapped in the plastic because i dare not touch it.

I wish I had bought the Mana Khemia deluxe set, the one with the PVC figurine of the main character or whoever, because I could make enough money selling it on eBay to pay rent for three months.

The only thing that could make this game worse is if they incorporate a school system in it like Persona 3, or more relevantly, Mana Khemia.

EDIT:
Is it strange that I have more respect for Capcom than any of the other companies involved combined, and that's why this hurts so much? In spite of everything Capcom does (352 versions of Street Fighter 2, etc), I still think they're above the likes of

you know i played ar tonelico (not all of it, like 5 hours - ps i bought it because it came in ridiculous packaging, which is the kind of thing that will sell for 5 times what i bought it for on ebay) and it was honestly the most disgusting and horrible game i have ever played. only women are able to use magic, and because of this they are exploited and made into these sort of wizard slaves by men. they don't resist, though, because they're moe and have the personality and will of five year olds. men unlock these women's magic power by soul diving, or going into their subconscious, but the game sexualizes it and makes it really awful. i remember there was this one point where a girl said "will you... s... soul dive into me?" and when you do it she says "that... that hurt more than i thought it would... but it was my first time... and i chose you" or something like that. ps that was said by an 18 year old trapped in a 12 year old's body.

so yeah ar tonelico is absolute garbage and this will be too.

Also, about this game... Yeah, people do stupid things like this all the time.
I remember an atlus game, on the back it said,"Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series!"
Capcom is just weird like that.

except dante's inclusion in nocturne was actually used tastefully (well, as tasteful as a videogame cameo gets) and they even tied the story around his appearance.  these games are basically just taking a bunch of shitty characters and throwing them in the same universe with no explaination or nothing kind of the like the Tales of the Niri Kiri Dungeon/World/WHATEVER THE FUCK GODDAMN I HATE THE TALES SERIES

Well I never said I played the game. However, I heard it was rare and/or expensive. Anyways, this does look pretty bad. Everyone has their moments. Like Squenix. Squenix has alot of bad moments~

And the original version of that game didn't have Dante in it. He was just a random bonus to sell more copies.

(And it was actually a good game by itself, whereas Cross Edge has NO CHANCE of being a good game)

Hey uh, you know what strikes me as odd, really?  I never got into DARKSTALKERS but it's a fucking fighting game so do any of these games actually have stories attached to them?  Like, RPG's are story-driven; that's sort of the point.  If they're going to take characters from other random stories and throw them together, that's one [still ][/still] thing, but Disgaea and Darkstalkers both had minimal amounts of stories.  It's like making an RPG out of the characters from TEKKEN.  Who the fuck cares?  As for the other games, I've never heard of any of them, but I'm just assuming they blow.  They look and sound like generic JRPGs, so I guess I'm not expecting much.  But really, it seems sort of absurd to just be like "Hey, you know that character who's principally known for having big tits and being in a fighting game with no serious story?  Let's uh... let's make her star in a story-driven RPG."  This shouldn't be made, but if it's going to be, they should at least use characters who are more than just hollow fighting game choices with big tits and absurd costumes.  They should use, you know, ACTUAL CHARACTERS, not E. fucking Honda (hehas.....trobled past)

What sucks is that this will sell so many motherfucking copies.  I can just picture opening day with grown Japanese men lined up for fucking hundreds of feet around their local VIDEOGAME BOUTIQUE, having slept there for the past three days to ensure a copy.  Ahahah man, fuck these guys.

actually most of sexualized NI characters are 1230 year old demons or whatever, except maybe Hanako, but the rest of them actually look like adults or are Marona who doesn't look sexualized at all.

ubt yeah i cant wait to dress up enta and morgana in japanese school girl outfits and just stare at them for 30 minutes

While I won't argue with anything levelled against this game (because yes the lolidemon craze is probably morally reprehensible) I have to admit that I would probably buy this game if it came out in the states and I might even even like it a little bit!  

EDIT: Also I don't really know that much about Japan but I'm under the impression that while it is illegal to have sex with young girls that it is not considered socially unacceptable to be a pedophile.  So maybe that justifies the situation at least a little bit?

EDIT 2: Also what is up with all of these game announcements is it E3 or something?

being a pedophile (as in having sex with minors) is illegal in japan but lolicon isn't.  japan is very very very open about their pornography because people lead such ridiculously hectic lives that the government actually deemed it necessary to allow people to explore their sexual fetishes so long as no one gets hurt.  as a result, they have an almost negligible amount of sex related crimes like rape and molestation (all of that pantsu shit you see on the internet is staged, it really doesn't happen).

this is the worst type of reasoning for this shit. the characters look like children and behave like subservient little girls. Just because the instruction manual says Michiko is a 1000 year old demon doesn't make it any less creepy.
i wasn't really trying to defend it, just stating a point(that i thought was a bit funny).
but while i'm at they don't act like "subservient little girls" in any of the games(except maybe Marona, who isn't sexualized), in fact most the major female characters are kinda bitches.

*Kururu: 12 years old. Has some "Sexy Panties" she can equip to improve her chances of recruiting enemies. Wuss around the male lead.
*Eclair: 13 years old, I think? Has an alternate, evil personality that runs around in black lingerie. The regular personality is hyper subservient.
*Flonne: 1500 years old, looks 9. Wears a one piece bathing suit under a lacey white teddy. Completely subservient.
*Etna: 1400 years old, looks 9. Wears a black leather bra and micro mini skirt. Loyal to her father figure.
*Marona: 13 years old, looks 8. Completely subservient. Sexualized to the point of creepiness. There's even a pedophile in the game ("Papa Cauldron")! Also there's this not safe for work image is official artwork for Phantom Brave (http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Phantom-Brave/item53856/). Note that Marona is not only sitting on a bed with her crippled friend (although it appears as if though she's sitting in her lap), she's also mostly naked.
*Hanako: 8 years old or something, looks 5. Wears practically nothing.
*Raspberyl: 1500 years old, looks 5. Wears a sailor suit school uniform, and is determined to be the best demon ever by BEING SUPER GOOD. BECAUSE GOOD IS BAD FOR DEMONS. Do you see what they did there? Anyway.

Okay Flonne is pretty subservient, but she's to be an angel, so... duh? I wasn't aware what she wears under her clothes(never came up in the game from what i remember), but i never said she wasn't sexualized.

Enta was in love with Laharl's dad,  but it doesn't come up much and she spends most of her time planning to defeat Laharl in both Disgaea games, so i'm gonna say bullshit on her being subservient.

Marona is subservient to the max, but that picture came up no where in the game(in fact that shirt looks a bit different from the one i see in the instuction booklet) and while i admit Papa Cauldron was creepy, he never really did anything more then try to be her dad.  creepy? yes. pedo? maybe in his own mind. does that make Marona sexualized? i don't think so.

Hanako, yeah i mentioned her like 2 times already.

i can't say i know anything about the other ones(are the first two from LP Tactics?) except i think the last one is from Disgaea 3 which i have yet to play.

really, i don't really think these games are really that great, but idk, i guess i feel i have to defend them because i enjoy making towers of people and messing with geo-panels in these game even those things have nothing to do with the character and stories that even i know are pretty bad.

so yeah i should probably just stop, even if people are saying shit(that isn't true) about games they probably never spent more then 1 hour on.

i've never seen anyone try to reach so hard to rationalize something that's clearly true.  you can just spend a brief time playing the game, look at how it's marketed, look at the character art and the way it's drawn, and it's PRETTY EASY to discern what they were going for.  i guess because flonne is an angel not only does it explain why she's ridiculously subservient in the same way all those terrible anime women are (you're right this couldn't possibly be for reasons going beyond NECESSARY FOR PLOTLINE), but also why she's drawn as a sultry 10 year old girl with no pants on.  i mean, that's how a ten year old angel should be portrayed, right?  either you are blind or in denial here, man.

i've never seen anyone try to reach so hard to rationalize something that's clearly true.  you can just spend a brief time playing the game, look at how it's marketed, look at the character art and the way it's drawn, and it's PRETTY EASY to discern what they were going for.  i guess because flonne is an angel not only does it explain why she's ridiculously subservient in the same way all those terrible anime women are (you're right this couldn't possibly be for reasons going beyond NECESSARY FOR PLOTLINE), but also why she's drawn as a sultry 10 year old girl with no pants on.  i mean, that's how a ten year old angel should be portrayed, right?  either you are blind or in denial here, man.
oh man, i never said she wasn't sexualized, i only said Marona wasn't. if nothing else i should probably stop posting because apparently you guys aren't even reading them.

Ummm, who cares really? These are a bunch of terrible animes/games, and if anything, Capcom is humoring them. Darkstalkers is just a crappy Street Fighter with dracula and some other archaic movie monsters worked into the plot.

I'm seriously confused about how beating off to a cartoon 12 year old is worse than beating off to any other aged cartoon. As if it made you any more pathetic?

Okay Flonne is pretty subservient, but she's to be an angel, so... duh? I wasn't aware what she wears under her clothes(never came up in the game from what i remember), but i never said she wasn't sexualized.

Enta was in love with Laharl's dad,  but it doesn't come up much and she spends most of her time planning to defeat Laharl in both Disgaea games, so i'm gonna say bullshit on her being subservient.

Marona is subservient to the max, but that picture came up no where in the game(in fact that shirt looks a bit different from the one i see in the instuction booklet) and while i admit Papa Cauldron was creepy, he never really did anything more then try to be her dad.  creepy? yes. pedo? maybe in his own mind. does that make Marona sexualized? i don't think so.

Hanako, yeah i mentioned her like 2 times already.

i can't say i know anything about the other ones(are the first two from LP Tactics?) except i think the last one is from Disgaea 3 which i have yet to play.

this isn't about the intricacies of each character's contrived backstory, it's about why the people who make this game would choose to have sexy, willless little girls as it's main characters. defending the portrayl of these characters by citing the fact that it's necessary for the plotline is so ridiculous because the plotline only exists to provide an excuse to give the people who play these games a hard on.

really, i don't really think these games are really that great, but idk, i guess i feel i have to defend them because i enjoy making towers of people and messing with geo-panels in these game even those things have nothing to do with the character and stories that even i know are pretty bad.

so yeah i should probably just stop, even if people are saying shit(that isn't true) about games they probably never spent more then 1 hour on.

how is what has been said untrue in any way? this game appeals to men who want to see little slave girls in almost no clothes - you can't really deny this without sounding like an extreme apologist or extremely naive, and you aren't naive after this topic.

people are reading your posts and responding to them accordingly, because your points have zero merit. and you're defending this thing cos you like it's battle system?

are you talking about their portrayl as sexualized little girls? in that case then, then i've said like a billion times that yes they are(with one exception). if your talking about the whole submissive thing(the one thing i really disagree on), then thats just bullshit that people are trying to say about the game because they don't like it or something.

i can't say anything for japan, but i doubt there are nearly as many people playing these games for a hard on as you seem to think(there are a lot of people who actually like these games for the story, humor and gameplay who don't beat off to Etna).

i don't think anyone who has posted about how awful these games is telling lies to make it look bad. if it wasn't terrible, then we wouldn't dislike it. this isn't a Gamegrudge. now i haven't played these games in particular, i've only looked up some things on them cos of this topic, but in most of the jrpgs i've played the heroine or idealised female character(s) are blank slate do what is expected of them and what they are told saints, and this shit is so stupid. i'm not saying videogames are doing great harm to the plight of feminism here, but it's still gross.

i'm not saying everyone who plays this is looking for a hard on, but that is the reason the offending content gets put in there - it is the only reason they would put it in, because there is a sizeable portion of the audience who does get off on this shit and buys games for it.

Quote

i am not saying they are literally slaves - this is a problem you seem to have generally. you don't understand literary techniques and that there exists a level beyond the surface to all of this. these girls don't JUST HAPPEN to be what they are. the reason i used the word slaves is because that is the mentality the submissive aspect of these female characters is appealing to - they may not literally be slaves, but for all intents and purposes they may as well be.

as for the "people are starting to make up shit" I was wrong. what i should have said is that, people how haven't played the game are making unfair assumptions based on information unrelated to these games themselves.

little girls dressing up like hookers is not terrible. women getting violated with Life Extending Crystals and saying thanks for it is not terrible. this stuff is worthwhile content.

i have no idea what the life extending crystal(from a game i never said anything about i assume) thing is about and yeah dressing up little girls like hookers is pretty bad, but my point was saying 'i don't like something so it must be terrible' is a stupid thing to say, ever

Promotional artwork to promote a game featuring the main character half naked. Cauldron wants to be her daddy, but not in the benign, nice way you're thinking. No you're right he's not a pedophile he just keeps talking  about how cute Marona is, starts a fan club for her, and publishes a book filled with pictures of her. It's like this guy who hangs out at the playground taking pictures of kids, not because he's a pedo, but because he thinks kids are cute! TOTALLY BENIGN MAN.

Yeah I'll probably end up buying this, it seems to be right up my niche game paved alley.

Post by: Cho on May 09, 2008, 07:02:35 am
It's pretty funny because this is the press release from NISA about that game (I keep it on hand because it is terrible):
Quote
About Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia

Ages ago, the world was like any other. But, two apocalyptic wars changed everything. The sky has been sealed off by a deadly electromagnetic field and the ground is now an ocean of death. Humanity lives life peacefully suspended above the sea on continents powered by the magical tower of Ar Tonelico and protected by the knights of Elemia. However, evil is lurking upon humanity threatening the peace and balance of Ar Tonelico.

Key Features

    * Moé
    * Interactions among characters reveal more depth of each character
    * A new and unique "Song" battle system
    * Virtual interaction with mood shifting characters -Customizable weapons and items
    * Over 300 creatable items
    * Stunning animation

What is Moé?

Moé has become one of the most popular words among Japanese "Otaku". Various definitions of Moé have been presented. However, it seems like each individual give different definitions to the word.

Here is what NIS America sees in the word, Moé:

Moé is used when a person expresses his/ her feelings of adoration, admiration, and love toward fictional characters, which are unreachable or unobtainable. Moé is a combined feeling of innocence, purity, and naïve. This feeling is often non-sexual. A good example is if you could remember the feelings of your first love when you were young, those pure and indescribable fluttery feelings. The Japanese Otaku tend to have that innocent love and adoration toward videogame characters, and Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia contains many characters that embody those feelings. Interestingly, each individual may describe Moé differently from others; some might say it is sexual, some might not. NIS America would like to represent Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia as a game that recreates those innocent feelings once again.

I swear to god I did not make this up (http://www.nisamerica.com/news/20060908.html).
So basically you're all a bunch of perverts because this is pure and innocent and you're taking it the wrong way.

Post by: Sludgelord on May 09, 2008, 07:19:49 am
no, this is all entirely intentional, moe is how japanese people justify pedophilia, and that definition of moe is a lie. this game was made so that japanese manchildren in their mid 20s would have a new franchise to jack off to.

there was an 18 year old in a 12 year old's body. it's okay to s...souldive into her because really she's an adult.

I didn't even pick up my copy yet.  I had it preordered (thought it came out on the 1st of june not the 30th of may) so hopefully the store didn't fucking put my copy up on the shelf or anything or else I'll be pissed.  They didn't even fucking call me >​

Apparantly, yeah it is. I have never been so... amazed, by anything ever before.

It honestly sounds like they just got some people off the street to do this.

LOL that is the worst voice acting ever I thought  dubs of some animes where bad but this takes the cake.

The beginning seemed a little serious even though the dialog was crap and didn't make any sense, and that the voice actor seemed to be trying to hard. Suddenly everything changes with up-beat music and moe characters.

The game also looks very cheap.

The BEST part of Chaos Wars is the horrendous voice acting.  Everyone on the GFaqs board is like "URGH PUT IT ON JAPANESE VOICE OVER MODE" but man, US voices are HALF THE FUN OF THIS GAME.  This is seriously one of the most unintentionally funny and entertaining games of the whole decade!
