Can anyone explain to me why Japanese games/products often keep their english titles or subtitles?

This is an excellent video on how GoT changed once it departed from the books:

Zacks mako eyes don't look that weird in Crisis Core. They're just slightly brighter than normal eyes.

Surely most of it is continuous with the other games anyway? Isn't it? I don't remember any Obi-Wans not remembering owning droids.

When people say "realistic" in the context of fantasy, they generally mean realistic (given the rules and logic of this world). 'Internally consistent' is probably a better term, to avoid this confusion. A lot of people do generally like fantasy to be internally consistent, because it creates...

He was in AC and DC wasn't he? Have I misremembered this?

It related to Tifa because I was suggesting the Advent Children design is less "pretty" than the Dissidia one but I think it's better suited to the character because she looks buffer and more physically capable. I would say both designs are "attractive", but the Advent Children one is less...

Lol, I can't be the only one who thinks there are multiple types of attractiveness. "Beautiful" and "pretty" are surely used to mean different things. At least that's how I'd always used them. The witch in Return To Oz said it. It must be true:

She should be attractive, I wasn't arguing against that. She just shouldn't be "pretty". Granted maybe everyone means something slightly different by "pretty". But I would say as an example, someone like Lulu in FFX is attractive but not pretty. Obviously if you disagree with that...

My entire rationale for preferring her to be a bit rougher is precisely that she's not a superhero like Buffy is. Within the lore of the game world, she's supposed to be a normal person who just happens to have good fighting skills.

Yeah she has Elemental twinned with Lightning materia on her gloves, because cyborgs are normally weak to lightning.

Yes but she's also Strawweight. Real street fighting doesn't have weight divisions. What would happen if she fought Cris Cyborg? She'd be dead in a few minutes. Worth pointing out that she also looked very different when she was a model. She's must have nearly double her body mass to become a...

Well I was assuming a certain level of realism. Obviously since it's technically fantasy, they can just do whatever they want and people won't really care that much. But in reality, of course being pretty has a bearing on your fighting ability. There are a whole range of physical traits that...

They can, but they generally wouldn't. You wouldn't put a lot of effort into your appearance if it was gonna get messed up when you get into a fist fight later that day.

That's the reason I didn't like this one. Tifa was supposed to a streetfighter. "Pretty" seems kinda of out-of-place to me for the character. I much preferred that Advent Children one. She looks tougher, and less like someone who'd curl her eyelashes.

Because that's impossible, in relative terms. If Midgar is 1/3 of the game now, whereas it used to be 1/6 of the game, that logically necessitates that everything else now fits into 2/3 of the game, whereas it used to fit into 5/6 of the game. Everything could be longer in absolute terms...

But a greatly expanded upon Midgar game (relative to the total length) would mean greatly shrinking other parts. I love so many of the locations in this game, I don't want others to get short-changed. Midgar's great. But so are like 3/4 of all the towns. There's only a few like Gongaga and...

Yeah isn't that segment of the game just travelling across the northern (fairly small) continent? Bonus EXP if you can successfully cook Tifa!

Lets not forget they have been working on this for like 5 years at this point. I don't think it's insane to expect a full $60 game for this first part here. Seems unlikely they'd stretch the Midgar segment into a whole game for me. They would have to add so much more to the story to pad it out...

I'm a general Nintendo fan but I kinda feel like they'll struggle to compete at E3 this year, certainly for my own attention anyway. They've got quite a lot already announced for the second half of the year, so I don't think we'll get many new announcements from them. Maybe the only...
