The editing of the NA localization is as inevitable as the sunrise, due to Current Year sensibilities, but it doesn't really matter since there will be a mod to restore the original script within weeks. I plan on buying the official release anyways, if only for the fleeting hope that this will send a message to Nintendo to bring back the older style of Paper Mario games. You may say I'm a dreamer, but the likelihood of Nintendo even acknowledging this game's existence was thought to be impossible until yesterday.
Even if that doesn't happen, I sincerely hope that enough Zoomers play this remake and realize how awful the nu-Paper Mario games are by comparison, and what they've been missing out on. Somehow Origami King got a pass despite being pretty much the same lackluster gameplay and writing, and I can only assume that 's because either old fans have finally been beaten into lowering their standards, or their new audience of Zoomers have literally never played these games before and don't know how to emulate. Either way I'm excited for the potential future discussion about Paper Mario, and tuning out the trannies that are still picking at the decades-old discussion over Vivian.
