Even back in the day when Japanese games were dominant on consoles, American packaging and marketing tended to pare down the cutesy aesthetics of some titles. The market has come a long way since the ’80s and ’90s, but there are still some problems with pastel colors and big eyes in some quarters.
Responding to a fan request for a localization of Zwei if other Falcom titles do well, XSEED responded: “‘Well’ is a relative term, but let’s see what happens. Zwei is a well-made charming game, but the retailers aren’t too crazy about the cutesy graphics, which makes our job a little more difficult.”
