Bravely Default got a few changes, I only played the demo but I've heard it becomes repetative after a while so it's been low priority for me.

As for XCX I never owned a Wii and I'd rather not rely on emulation so I've never had a chance to play the original though I've been tempted to pick up a Wii U for both games and SMTxFE plus a few others as I've yet to play most of Nintendo's iconic series. How ever I saw this along with a few other changes in regard to the localization and I don't get why they would do this, it's obvious that its nothing to do with their ratings as other studios such as NISA have been called out on their botched translations, in saying that I would have still considered it until I read it doesn't include Japanese audio, apparently the audio alone would add an extra 10gb so I can sort of understand (presuming its not poor compression which a lot of newer games have this problem causing unnecessary bloat) but it still doesn't sit with me, maybe if they add it as free DLC then I would be more inclined to pick it up.

As for the booby slider I don't think you can be a surfboard in the Japanese version anyway.
