Ninja Castle = Neo Tokyo?

We won't be getting SEA's area. We'll be getting CMS' version as we have everything else. The thing that stands as mutlilation is the physical area, not the gameplay. The appearance, the story. That is what prevents us from getting an area or not getting it. Forget nerfs. The appearance and story, and just pure logic, that determines what we get and we don't get. There are no special items for neo tokyo. They're normal etc drops. Nerf or not nerf, they'll drop them. You are right. Nothing is for sure. The reason I say what I say and try to show people what they don't want to hear is because optomism runs this forum. All I see is it in these speculations. It's all based on fancy. And fancy isn't reality. So I show people what they don't want to see; something closer to reality. That's my motivation to say what I say.

My final question is this: If you owned a game, and produced it, would you make an area (Neo Tokyo), scramble up the story and area a little, and release it, with the fact that they're both the same at the root? What would that tell about your company? What would that encourage people to think about your game?

The hell are you smoking? China doesn't have Ninja Castle or Showa Hideout, but they have Neo Tokyo. Your logic has been shot down.
