You are correct, but Naoki Yoshida has already expressed himself to be relatively progressive as far as Japanese people go. He has expressed sympathy for trannies at least once in the past when talking about removing gender restrictions from some armor in FF14. Because of this, I expect on some level he is vulnerable to appeals to emotion by gaming journalists demanding more woke shit in games. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid and he continues to just try making good games instead of appealing to certain demographics.
