I love "Objection" and "Cornered" so much that I turned them into ringtones for my old phone.
I mean, yes, we can assume that Capcom isn't just leaving employees sitting idly by; on the flip side, though, localization for an Ace Attorney game isn't all that hard. We're looking at, essentially, the work of a couple of translators. There's no need to do significant VO recording or anything expensive like that.
Not that I'm discounting the work of those translators, of course, but...still.
I actually believe there are at least a couple of other examples, though I'd have to go digging to find them.
Also, I'm not sure why that really matters. We DO have mention of romance, so...why is it so different to have same-sex romance? Are we assuming that the Star Wars universe is SO different that the possibility doesn't even exist? Or is it more likely that it's just a subject Lucasfilm has tiptoed around thus far for fear of alienating some portion of their fan base?
Personally, it doesn't seem to me like their localization schedule is so packed that they couldn't fit it in there without taking those resources away from a more profitable project.
(Hell, there's no mention of Korriban, or Taris, or a lot of other things in the movies, yet those are still in the game.)
However, they already HAVE the game. The question is, how much does the localization cost?
If the localization + manufacturing costs less than what they'd make from even the small number of sales, it's still profitable. The fact that it's not HUGELY profitable is irrelevant; Capcom doesn't HAVE to survive on that alone.
In other words, it doesn't need to do triple-A numbers. It simply needs to make more money than the cost of localization.
Nngh.
I'm still pissed off about Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Capcom has apparently decided they don't like fans or money.
So really, only two of the eight classes are "jedi" classes, and even then, there's nothing that says you have to be a perfect jedi.
And, y'know, I doubt the Family Research Council is -really- operating from a Biblical perspective, here; where's their outrage over all of the murder/theft/premarital sex/lying/etc. found in TOR?
The whole "If you're tolerant, you have to tolerate intolerance!" thing is nonsense, and it's based on a false equivalence.
One group is responding to a direct attack on them.
The other group is going after people who want to live their lives without other people telling them what they can and can't do.
Guess which is which?
Oh really.
Yes, I'd say America is better off.
Also, I think it's silly to imply that those social customs, in particular, had anything whatsoever to do with becoming a superpower. Even if they did, though...so what? That's like saying that the British should try setting up some colonies and oppressing the natives because, hey, it worked before.
