First we Had Earthbound Gods, Then Earthbound Immortals, Now we Earth Immortals


Recommended Posts

I don't think half of you get it, the "Earthbound" was the problem. You should probably just rant about what the first word could have changed to.

 

@ Everyone who pointed out the 2 cards with "Earthbound" in their name: Earth Immortals are a major part of the anime. Those 2 cards are random minor cards tht no company would notice. >.>

There wasn't any copyright problem, people; you'll notice that the card "Twister" didn't have its name changed in deference to a certain game where hands and feet are placed on coloured circles. The name was changed because Konami chose to change it, not because Mother 2 was in the way.

 

Also, it's pretty much a given that most people are going to hate it whenever Konami makes an important name change. We had a topic like this about Lightlords / Lightsworns, we had a topic like this about Slash-Busters / Slash-Assault Modes - we even had a topic like this about the Arcana Force series having the ends of its names decapitalized. Sheesh, people.

Importance in the Anime is irrelevant to the reasoning behind the name change. By your terrible logic' date=' the Jibakushin are so important that they have more of a reason to [b']keep[/b] their names.

 

They had a solid reason to change the name (due to religous connotations and a Copyright infringement scare), they had no choice. I don't see how my logic would falter here! xD

 

Plus, this time its a set of cards, instead of 2 random cards[/point strengthening]

Even with that post, you don't lock this topic with a "tl;dr: This topic is stupid"?

Earthbound: As Crab Helmet said, there was no copyright problem.

 

God: Religious connotation, fine, but they didn't seem to hesitate calling Vennominaga a "Deity".

Just because it's a set of cards doesn't mean a thing.

Oops, I thought I did lock this. Must have forgotten to check the box.
