Numerous Gamers Announce Boycott Of Square Enix's 'Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake' Following Removal Of Male And Female Character...
Numerous gamers announced their intention to boycott Square Enix's upcoming Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake after the company removed the option to select between male and female characters.
Good to see. I know the usual suspects will say “they are just pronouns” or “what’s the big deal”, but this is a symptom of a larger issue. Crazy to think that norms have to be destroyed to appease a tiny amount of delusional people.
Who don't even play the games
"If it's not a big deal, then there's no reason to change it".
ftfy
Their own response to those statements is telling enough.
"Then it shouldn't matter and it shouldn't be changed since, as you put it, it's not a big deal."
As someone who knows the original inside and out to the point I softlocked myself out of the finishing the GBC remake: It does come up several times in minor points of the story, and there were several female only and a few male only items. Later remakes added even more male/female only gear.
I remember one town where you get to play monarch for a day. Nothing really happens when you're king, but as queen the local inn will advertise you stayed a night on a plaque.
Yeah that's... the third town in, after you leave
Antarcticathe starting island.The delusional people are just an excuse. Social norms are being destroyed to undermine and weaken Western civilization.
What's funny about this one is how lazily it was done. Because they still refer to you exclusively in male pronouns like referring to you as someone's son throughout the game.
So not only were they failing to give half a shit about adding the female option, they barely bothered to add this in as well until way too late to apply it fully. Which shows how little it matters to them beyond a checkbox.
Generally they at least go through the effort of changing the pronoun throughout the game to be the correct gender based on your choice. Whether its body type or Cyberpunk using the Voice.
Because its one thing to be pretty vague about it so that all custom options won't be completely excluded, its another to add the custom option and then just keep the singular one script regardless.
Atlus for all its garbage made almost an entire new game to make its gender swapping MC fit, Squeenix seemingly can't even CTRL+F the word "son" on their script.
is this actually sbi detected or just generic woke detected
Am I the only one who thinks that HD2D is overrated?
Someone made a Doom mod using voxels instead of pixels, legit made it look a thousand times better. HD2D just makes the "cardboard cutout" look that much more conspicuous.
Isn't SV the first "genderfluid" Pokemon? Choosing boy or girl used to lock you out of the other sex's clothing options, but you can wear anything in SV. It's also the most androgynous protagonists in Pokemon.
