Yeah I noticed this as well. This is clearly done by somebody progressive in translation or the US office trying to impose it on the Japanese developers.
I'm all for more customization options like being able to put all voices, hairstyles, and beards on both sexes, but removing "male" and "female" is just biology denial.
The game meets you halfway by just calling you "hunter" or "ace" all the time anyway, likely done to avoid having to record 2 sets of voiceovers from every character, and likely done before the text translation team got a hold of the game.
But if that bare minimum amount of change saves Capcom the trouble of being bitched at, then good for them. That's more resources they can put into actual game development instead of needlessly patching out a working system after a controversy.
there is an Anti-trust investigation into Sony absorbing Crunchyroll, but not holding hope that anything will come from it.
Peter Thiel did a talk some years back (at a university, I think) where he mentioned tech companies get into a few types of businesses to get around being considered a monopoly. They're not a 'search engine company,' they're a 'tech company', and there are a number of other tech companies so they're not a monopoly. Just ignore they have a monopoly on search, or a monopoly on video.
I mean, we knew Crapcom was going woke from the PC training leaks, but it's still disappointing to see. I've been a fan since 4, so having to skip this entry (probably ignoring the series in the future, since they'll most likely keep it like this) really is depressing.
I dread the day the devs remove the armor differences for the genders (making 2 accounts to see the differences in armors was half the fun to me), and it looks like that's what they're slowly moving towards with Rise.
Yeah, I was bringing this up when PSO2NGS was doing Type 1/2 bodies. Start calling women Type 2s and see how they feel about it. ESPECIALLY those that work for said companies.
So I don't play games anymore in general, but I thought I'd try Baldur's Gate 3 because it looks interesting and I always liked RPGs. What weirded me out was how in the character creator, whether you are male or female, you have the same voice selection (1, 2, 3, 4), and they alternate between male and female voices. I at first thought it was some kind of bug since the game is in early access, but then I realized they probably did it to please the trannies.
I don't want to hear a male voice attached to a female body, or vice versa. It's disgusting. Clearly games are not really designed for me any longer lol.
Yeah, one of the things I like to do in these games is help out random players (probably should’ve gatekept in retrospect), but I really don’t want to pair up with randoms if I’m going to potentially hear a gruff manly voice coming out of a women’s body and vice-versa.
I guess it’s motivation for me to save money but it’s still kind of sad seeing another franchise give in to the crazy.
If you think about it, it's actually pretty funny. The voice is one of the things the faggots can't "fix" with surgery. Every time they hear themselves speak, they know everyone within earshot knows they're not a woman... so they have the choice between representing the horror that is their reality in a video game, or inducing further cognitive dissonance.
It doesn’t matter. Woke ideology doesn’t lose money because average gamer consoomers still buy, and even if it did most companies value “woke capital” more than actual profits nowadays.
Its annoying but ill take it over 500 "journalists" penning articles about how the menu options are literally killing people and how we need to have infinite discussions
What a dumb concept. If the name is really dead, then you wouldn't need to keep referring to it as your "dead name". You just use your new name like normal people. It's created to have something to whine about.
They don't want to live like normal people. They need to be special. Its why so few of them try to pass or put in any effort towards actually transitioning.
No, this is how it happened 5 years ago too, with “at least bad thing isn’t as bad as equally bad thing”.
Even then, I’d take the articles because at least I’d be comforted that the well isn’t poisoned at the source, just that people are calling for the well to poisoned. This is so much worse.
Or....we can just stop letting these "journalists" push the world into this insanity. It is like humanity collectively lost the ability to ignore idiots circa 2015.
Thank you. Getting triggered and offended over "body type 1 and 2" is Reddit thinking but for the right. The menu options don't lie. They're not delusional. They didn't add extra genders. People fighting insignificant shit like this would rather virtue signal than focus on bigger priorities. One example is the literal cabal of child rapist Reddit trannies running loose in the moderator ranks.
This post is being brigaded with vote manipulation. The screaming nut below me picked up a bunch of upvotes and I picked up 6 downvotes in minutes, and he is extremely offended on the OP's behalf, it's probably another account he has. Threads like these are started by leftist plants who want your outrage, attention, and time off real issues. It's what I'd do if I was a leftist plant because it works. Wake up, people.
Are you kidding me? How stupid are you that you so easily bend the knee because you consider it "insignificant shit?" Every single step of leftism is "insignificant," and it builds up over time so discreetly that you don't care to notice. Does everything have to be completely outlandish and in-your-face before you bat an eye? This would have been considered outlandish decades ago, but the trans cult has been slowly pushing their ideology further and further. When they get called out, they just make the messaging slightly less insane and then frame it as "Bro, it's just about equality, bro. Why do you want people to feel left out?"
It's like how microtransactions have been introduced over time. When a company gets called out on it, they retreat and find another, more subtle way to push microtransactions until the community is more open to microtransactions. "Bro, it's just cosmetic, bro. Why do you want companies to lose money?"
It's dumb but likely done purely for localization concerns. Aside from these changes, the game itself is quite good and sticks with the typical Japanese format of manly men and girly girls. There's no real in-between here and no body customization aside from A/B.
I didn't know this was the case before I bought the game, so pretty disappointed afterwards. I'm not sure about Nintendo's return policy for digital purchases - I should probably buy physical but I hate the tiny switch cartridges so I've avoided it with the switch so far.

I thought it was hilarious too. Still liking it so far and being able to make a manly woman is hilarious.

At least men are type 1
...That’s the same company. Dear Lord, I wish anti-monopoly laws were still a thing.

My guess? Everything that is at least half way in production at the moment will get slight modifications like type 1 / type 2.
From there only woke shit, gay/ trans everywhere and men are stupid/ evil or incompetent while all women will be manly mary sue.
I doubt they will go on the racial diversity, for some reason I just do not see Japan doing that.
Give it a few years and we'll get to choose how many chromosomes we have during character creation.
Yay Downs representation!
I'm waiting on the 'gay lisp' voice option. You know it's coming.

Why does front-hole-not-haver get to be type 1? Types should be random glyphs and change order on boot up to remove any bias.
oh my god. I can't even. How can they program only two genders? So fucking transphobic. Boycotting.
Yeah, I was bringing this up when PSO2NGS was doing Type 1/2 bodies. Start calling women Type 2s and see how they feel about it. ESPECIALLY those that work for said companies.
Classic Type-2 behavior to get upset over something as minor as a label.
One might even say cluster-B.

Should have done Number 1 and Number 2.
Capcom is one of the scummiest, most capitalistic companies around.
Make it clear to them that woke ideology loses money and they'll jump ship faster than you can say "child grooming."

They need to be beaten back into making sense, or just beaten until they stop bitching.

Circa 2012. Obama's re-election pushed the loons off the cliff, and we're all handcuffed to them on the way down.
All you are doing is just giving in to the left. You are willing to give up when enough people bitch and moan about it.

Only one species choice? Lame.

Leave that shit to CDPR I guess.
The Japanese version is the same, it wasn’t localization, and the voices aren’t tied to the body types. It was definitely done to push social justice.
Roses are red, violets are blue,
the only genders are types 1 and 2.
I'm not even mad.
Ladies and gentlemen... they got us.
There are no Rathian or Lunastra. Only Rathalos and Teostra Type 2.
I didn't know this was the case before I bought the game, so pretty disappointed afterwards. I'm not sure about Nintendo's return policy for digital purchases - I should probably buy physical but I hate the tiny switch cartridges so I've avoided it with the switch so far.
Is that really tthe character select? Why stick a cartoon manga face over a higher effort body?
