How difficult would it be to mod it out and restore the other stuff that was changed?
The text? Easy but time-consuming, and I guarantee someone will do it within the next few weeks.
Everything else (changed animations, timings, etc)? It depends on how similar the framework is to Origami King, and even then it’ll probably be a while.
 
They removed the late-game reveal of Hooktail being female by making her gender common knowledge from the beginning, does that count?
Jfc, I don't think I ever lost hope for a game this fast since probably when Color Splash was first announced, at least people got pissy at that game for being boring. Here they are BLATANTLY pissing on something I truly considered great, can't take this shit dood.:lossmanjack:

You know... even before this release vivian was a the top waifu for most trannies.
Claiming the character as one of them was kind of predictable shit.
If Nintendo is a whale, trannies are its barnacles, nothing but parasites, as usual.

piggybacking off of this to add another point to any normies who may be lurking here - PLEASE stop letting these sick losers gaslight you into thinking you're a "nostalgia-poisoned manchild" for simply having the ability to compare and contrast the industry you grew up with and noticed an obvious decline in quality thereof. We all know what we're instinctually looking for in games - passion, innovation, quality, consistency and delivery on expectations (these last two are important here). This is not hard!

^People like this MAKE it hard, which is why we need to constantly combat misinformation and constantly combat the narrative presented to us by the industry!
 
I'll be devil's advocate and say I don't really care about Vivian being canonically trans, but that's only as long as they keep the other two shades ripping into her for it. If they soften that defangs her entire plot arc, plus if it's left in we get to see histrionic crying over Nintendo being transphobic.

The text? Easy but time-consuming, and I guarantee someone will do it within the next few weeks.
If It's anything like Origami King or SMRPG it's just a set of CSV files with key-value pairs for the text, so we'll probably get an OG script mod quickly especially with AI cleanup.

Defanging her arc it is!
The new localization smartly tones down much of Beldam's bullying from the GameCube original's script. In the 2004 Japanese version, Vivian is consistently misgendered by Beldam, Goombella's tattle, and her in-game character description, but the remake is much more affirming of Vivian's gender, as Beldam's comments are less direct and all other characters and text refer to Vivian as a woman.
EID ESUOHEERT EID!
 
Relax, I'm not buying the game, just playing it through perfectly legal means.

But I've always preferred 64, but it's primarily because TTYD's backtracking is unbearable. The 30 FPS doesn't bother me as long as the frame windows are the same. I would prefer 60. But it's not a dealbreaker for me. Vivian being 100% truscum trans is whatever. Even though it's blatantly shoehorned in, it should be okay if it's just one or two lines of dialogue instead of the character's entire personality, which would otherwise make it unbearably annoying.

I just want to go to Creepy Steeple without PTSD of the endless backtracking. They've allegedly fixed that, and so it's good enough for me. I've never given TTYD a fair shot because I always felt insulted by how much it blatantly enjoys wasting my time. I'm just happy Paper Mario is Paper Mario again, and not some weird mutant offspring of the RPG series that seems to hate its own lineage.

Your post in a nutshell:
"OH C'MON GUYS, IT'S NOT THAAAAAAAAAT BAD, YOU'RE MAKING A BIG DEAL OVER NOTHING. I'M STILL BUYING IT ANYWAYS! IT'S FUCKING PAPER MARIO DUDE! IN HIGH DEFINITION WITH BETTER GRAPHICS!!! NOW I DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO PLAY THIS ON ACTUAL HARDWARE OR EMULATION BECAUSE [insert retarded reason here]!!"

God how come it's exactly this shit I posted in another thread a while ago :story:
"I dislike a lot of things they've shown in XYZ media. Still buying/consooming it anyway!"
 
Your post in a nutshell:
I understand why people are upset about it, and they're free to complain about it.

If you want people to agree with your viewpoint, it's helpful not to be aggressively hostile for them being apathetic, especially when the people celebrating this are fishing for reactions precisely like what you just gave me.

Not only that, but the original TTYD stored its text in plain TXT files. But again, the real issue is things like timings and cutscene actions being changed.

Explain how changing many large sections of dialogue and retconning parts of the story itself because the original was too “inappropriate” for modern audiences isn’t the textbook definition of hating its own lineage.

I'd rate you 'respectfully disagree', but Jersh removed that sticky like 2 years ago.
But anyways, new ChortleGEM

I've only heard of them censoring some lines. What are some major story retcons?

Nigger, what the fuck do you want us to do? We've already tried explaining this to the normies, and it's gotten us abso-fucking-lutely nowhere. And as far as being "aggresively hostile", I point you towards Hogwarts Legacy, a game that troons spewed ungodly amounts of vitriol at (not even anything to do with the game itself, just the fact that it's based on a "transphobe" 's work). They actually harrassed and sent death threats to people for daring to merely livestream themselves playing it. Again, if that isn't the textbook definition of being "aggressively hostile", I don't know what the fuck is, and yet WE'RE supposed to turn the other cheek when a highly-anticipated game kowtows to these monsters?! Get the fuck out of here with that horseshit.
