If that's the original vision the developer wanted for their game, then fuck man, keep it. The potion thing is disgusting and the petting bullshit is creepy (but not wildly unexpected for a Japanese game; Fire Emblem maybe), but don't hide your creepy fucked up shit. I'd rather know they're there and dislike those parts than want them gone so I can pretend the developers didn't originally want em in there.
I'd rather be critical of the work than have an altered version made specifically for me. At some point you break that down and gotta ask "well do you want games to be "better" or not?" and I think I'd really prefer everyone make the games that they want, and I'll like what I like and not like what I don't.
Is that even a thing? Being critical of something without always implicitly wanting some personally idealized form of it? I don't see why not.
This is exactly what I was going to say. Good to know there are other people with similar views.
I was seriously considering getting that new Fire Emblem 3DS and a copy of Birthright, but I'm just tired of Nintendo making changes like these.
