And ( I can use and as a sentence starter)you can obviously see the way they view us, Statue of Liberty and all, Bald Eagles everywhere, and the American flag replacing our atmosphere, they know nothing about us except for the fact that we like Sonic.
If they see that they get a lot of revenue from western audiences, they should get to know us better than just getting the retard who made Jak and Daxter and hiring him to lead the team. They should've kept the same team, and those redesigns are very drastic, if normal sonic had that stuff on( minus the Nathan Drake inspired scarf( It actually is btw)) I'd like it, they could make Knuckles have a little more bulk on him and make him taller, give Amy good curves, and so on.
They didn't have to drop the F bomb and ruin the designs, if they cut down on the sports tape as well, that would be a big thank you.
I just hope they change their minds like the makers of Klonoa did with that stupid redesign they gave him.
They really didn't need sports tape either, I thought Sonic was supposed to have worn out shoes instead of putting the tape on like bandages, and it looks like it actually MORPHED onto his shoe.
Exactly Zhire. EXACTLY. Japan has no idea what the fuck does American gamers wants either. Why being so focused about what appeals your culture and country if you're gonna sell a game WORLDWIDE? Unless if you're like Nintendo that always tries their best in making their games enjoyable worldwide. Pokemon is unfortunately popular than Mario. Even I hear about Final Fantasy gamers who were playing some Final Fantasy games complaining about the games being too "Japanese". Also I don't mind the Sonic Boom designs, but Knuckles still looks like a stereotype. Seriously. Amy and Tails' are alright. Sonic though. Also I may or may not know what a sports tape is, but why the hell do they have to wear sports tape if they're not doing any sports? Sonic Boom DOES take place in a alternate timline/universe that will not replace the main Sonic, either.
