@RawrSpoon: but thats splash radius, which is what you get after the rocket lands and blows up right, and not the actual rocket itself right? Or am I simply misunderstanding the whole mechanics?

@kingcrim84: whether people get a hard on from this or not, sex appeal is simply eye catching, as we have all clicked on this article for various reasons.

I hope the hitbox of this rocket is not ridiculous like the huntsman. Otherwise the +80% projectile speed will just encourage people to spamfest.

@Jnas: To the contrary, just as outlawauron mentioned, eroge and "love simulation" games aren't as popular to the general gaming population or to the general public in Japan. Theres a fine line between games that contain "sexual/erotic/explicit contents" (R-rated, 18+ games) and "sex appeal" (revealing outfits, some…

@Danza: Narrow window of choice of genre is a much better way to put than xenophobic in my opinion.

@Danza: If their tastes are predictable as you say, then western game developers should simply market games to match the market better instead of whining all the time. What if I say that western consumers are being xenophobic for their lack of interest in DQ titles and hentai-games?

@James Henderson: not that I've bothered to make an entry, but the majority are so unoriginal and was probably made in less than 10 minutes. All these people did was get a screencap, add some filters, slap in a line that was used in the original example, and call it a job well done.

@Pezdispenser: Just look at the ones people have posted on the "propaganda poster" thread on steam forums. Now I know how immature people on steam forums generally are but you'll feel proud of yourself once you compare your work with them.

@KevTehNev: haha this also immediately hit my mind too. How could I forget that they are both Capcom titles.

@Toasticus: ah sorry for the misinterpretation there. I now understand your point and agree with that.

I miss the famitsu from the 90's where reviewers were not affraid of giving extreme points to big name brands. Sure they were biased, as the reviewers had specific differences in their tastes; however, those were explained to an extent in their profiles, which allowed readers to read reviews written by people who have…

@Toasticus: It's true that the economy in recent years have hit the gaming industries hard in Japan. The solution isn't as easy as simply "westernizing" games. You have to understand that making the game more "westernized" will also mean that more time, effort, and most of all, money would need to be spent in…

@senselocke: Cultural narcissism? What are you even talking about? It's a mere cultural difference thats hindering the sales of foreign games in Japan.

they're only doing this to market the game to more female or "fujoshi" FF ganers. sooner or later, theyre gonna include whats known as "boys love", and anyone bashing it will be tagged as a homophobe

they should just let the player control the size of the boobs. now that would be epic win.

@badasscat: Amano for 2D, Nomura for 3D. Well put, I couldn't agree with you more.

as much as I like his art style, I believe it simply does not suit the newer FF series as much as it used to, simply because it does not market well to the current consumers. I think Nomura's style is simply much more appealing to new audiences and also to the increasing female FF gamers. Also Nomura's style makes it…

@Christopher Jones: That would only make porn more accessable to kids! We already have enough kids reading porno mags in convenience stores and beating strip mahjong arcade games

getting flashbacks of my childhood days, where I would use a calculator and press "1++1=" and try to beat his 16/sec. 12 was the best I got.

I'm sick and tired of reading all these comments simply bashing Japan. Japanese game developers are at least trying to fit the global market by working together with overseas developers, and are making an effort.
