I will kill anyone (not literally though [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ) who votes that it is ok to have mosaics in the game. Personally, I have no problem with mosaics...Besides, during my *ahem* dark years, I appreciated untranslated japanese games w/ mosaic and I craved them obsessively, so it was not surprising that I had alot of them in my old pc....It is only recently that I take in consideration of the importance of expanding the bishoujo gaming in the western market.
Seriously, if Peapri is to expand its market...It must not create games just to appeal to its hardcore bishoujo fans, such as ourselves in this bbs. Take note that censorship is almost unheard of to most of the consumers of the american adult market...I think ???(better stop contradicting myself ^^)
Talking from experience (although I really hate using this kind of argument), I watched a japanese erotica (I hate porn but I was kinda curious bcuz it was Japanese) during the Fantasia festival (festival where they promote oriental movies). When the audience saw the patches of mosaic, they were disgusted and started to prepare their departure. Albeit unsurprised of the censorship, I contemplated of leaving the movie because of the call of the majority ( a really, really huge majority) Upon seeing the reaction of her audience, the director spoke to us about the cultural and political basis of the censorship. Then, she challenged us into watching her erotic artform. Although she was able to retain alot of the viewers with her compelling (but inarticulate *cough* *cough* what do u expect from a Japanese) speech, a considerable number of viewers still decided to back away from her. It was that time that I was truly certain that most westerners have a low tolerance when it comes to censorship. Moreover, only two members from my circle of friends are able to play a censured game...well only two of us were serious about anime [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]...the others are more interested in the erotic aspect of the game.
Anyways, the perception that I want the fans to project to the japanese companies is that, even though we are going to buy the games to support the genre, they must at least have an exact understanding that those mosaics matter in the english market if they want to expand. No mosaics = higher tolerance + higher chance of expansion = higher profit = longer longivity for Peapri = bigger game selection + more cheaper games for us (imported games are generally 110$ canadian while Peapri's are just 65$ canadian).
In any case, I am not forcing any reader to share my opinion, but I am trying to influence any one of them [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] Regardless of the outcome, I will purchase Dokusen with or without the mosaics.
Oh, yeah...am I the only one in this bbs who thinks that a certain staff...who works in a certain company and who tirelessly describe some seductive elements of a game that is going to be released in the far future...is truly a sadistic, manipulative, evil LILITH who feeds from the bloodied torment of her hapless victims [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
