I will not be buying Dragon Quest III because Square Enix is disrespecting Akira Toriyama’s Legacy. What an awful company to do such a thing like this.
I won't be buying it because SE has been woke AF for a while now, been chopping up games to sell you DLC composed of what came standard in previous games, been shockingly incompetent at writing, done multiple terrible remakes of games that should've been slam dunks, and I was already refusing to support them on principal. Defacing Toriyama's art is just one more thing to add to a long list of reasons to never give SE a single cent.

@@viruschris3160 You have a bias for the old dubs because you saw them first/grew up with them. A lot like how people defend the accents and other changes in Dragon Quest games. But they're still alterations/censorship. And not acceptable. Because allowing some changes just leads to more. The reason we're seeing these companies becoming more and more bold with their alterations/censorship is because there wasn't push back on the earlier times when they did it.
Mortal Kombat features the most grotesque and detailed gore scenes possible, anything you can imagine, they've done it, but boobs are where they draw their "moral" line in the sand, even the female character's faces are ugly on purpose in MK now, I find it so backwards that North America demonizes female sexiness while being okay with the most hyperviolent horrifying gore possible. I'm okay with violence I just find it weird and annoying that they are so prudish about the female body but everything else is okay to them. In this case, a bikini is problematic? come on dude, can the CEOs who only care about money just fire these prudish activists already.
reminds me of a Scandinavia and the World comic where Sweden is playing a horror game. While the other countries are increasingly horrified, America just looks bored and keeps dissing the tropes. Then he flips out seeing naked corpses. Yep, America in a nutshell; bored of blood and gore, terrified of seeing a penis.
I mean then again, fighting games have to have some sexy female characters. Otherwise you’re game is barely even a fighting game at all. Besides logically, you couldn’t even fight wearing…idfk…10 layers worth of clothing on your skin unless if you want to fumble all over the goddamn place!
It's not exclusively activists within dev teams that facilitate this crap. It's mandates for generous financial assistance from Blackrock/Bridge and other firms hellbent on societal reform and sowing devision. They mostly want DEI initiatives to be unescapable in the corporate workplace. So infesting media to normalize such is only the beginning of the gradual plan for reform. Just don't buy things that have apparent DEI/ESG influence. I'm forgoing the Dead Rising remaster even though I am a huge fan, because this is all unacceptable.
@@sherrdreamz7232 yeah, I am aware of that, it's definitely both ( agree about Dead rising remaster, I dropped interest when I found out it was woke, the original doesn't need a remaster imo, a lot of remakes fail to capture the charm of the originals )
What's annoying is hearing the "its just censorship, it's still a great game" line from gamers who don't see the bigger picture. You allow this DEI crap. You end up with such greats like Kill The Justice League, Saints Row woke Edition, The Last Of Us 2, Concord, ect. Allow them to take that inch just gave them the permission to take a mile.

@@charlescaulkins8306 I dunno man, have you seen that new Superman costume? It ain't looking good my dude. People going to start realizing what we had with Henry Cavil and Zack Snyder when this next movie comes out.
Well this started with Sony censoring Japanese games, shutting down Japan Studio, forcing rules that go about rating systems world wide, then DEI, DEI then infects big Japanese companies like SE, they create Forespoken, double down and poison their own games, Capcom is the same too and Sega.
Square Enix is the weirdest one when it comes to this. On one hand, they censor stuff like when they made Tifa's chest smaller in VII Remake........but then in VII Rebirth, not only does she have her bigger chest again, but the literal way they marketed Rebirth was by constantly showing her and Aerith in swimsuits.
SE is an eastern studio masquerading as a western one. I partially blame Enix for this mentality, yet overtime the entire studio would gladly make crap like Forspoken and censor all of their jrpgs.
@@ricardohoang8452 I recall how their previous bankruptcy happened. Squaresoft thought they could become something they were not by dropping the biggest movie flop ever: FF Spirits Within.

Dude... Censorship is what completely changed my way of thinking and what I support... I've been against all types of censorship since I first discovered how 4kids censored Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. That continued when Soyny moved to California the first time and began to pull a 4kids with our videogames and then voice actors in the Anime industry followed suit started their bs too... From then on out it's only spread to pretty much ALL media we see today and the shitstorm Hollyweird has become... All I can do now is NOT support this nonsense and hope it all disappears one day...

Rewind 10 years, when Tumblr feminists were crying at the bikini armor aesthetic. We obviously didn't humiliate them enough. This is partly our fault. But we can fix it by not buying this crap. Let's see who can hold out longer.
🤨Wait!?... Didn't they say they didn't want to lose money? I guess, we were wrong and apparently they are not ashamed to ruin Akira's legacy for their DEI overlords 😡.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were in financial trouble again, they've had a lot of flops in the past few years, only ARR has kept them afloat, and a few outliers like FF7R (or at least the first FF7 remake, the second didn't sell nearly as well).
Why do new generations of old companies like pissing on the works that built these companies in the first place? Whether censoring old works or apologizing for them. Imagine, as an artist, looking at a drawing from your predecessor from the game you are _remaking_ (akira mfing toriyama, the legend himself) and saying to yourself "this is inappropriate, I will _improve_ it". The sheer hubris.
Narrow minded view of the past and old things, while think everything new is automatically good. Some being more of public sensitivities despite how much it ruins the work.
It's a combination of shareholders and hedge funds demand they follow the DEI money. But also, part of following the DEI demands is hiring activists. And activists only live for fighting and changing stuff. That's what makes them activists. Most of the people working in localization and all the people working in HR/Ethics departments are activists. And to justify their existence, they demand changes. Because that's the only reason they are employed. If a game went under their review and they didn't flag anything, then the company is going to start asking "why am I employing you to do nothing?"
I will keep on playing my retro games then, since every new game west companies will release as a remaster, it will always be censored. Let's see how much they censor/modify Silent Hill 2 remake.
If new games are likely being this much crap, my saving would be exponentially increasing. At some years in the future I might be able to afford a Zeekr.😂🎉
Exactly, same reason why I don’t get excited about a “remake” or “remaster” anymore. Look at what they did with Mass Effect’s remaster. Instead of fixing ME3 ending, resources went to censored the areas that were deemed “offensive” then there’s Capcom and their RE games. Namco is the same way. And people buying their games still and the dumbest ones, for buying their censored games. I can see already people buying the new Dead Rising game even knowing how censored that game is.
Fun fact, SNES9X and a Rom of DQ3 Seeds of Salvation with an engilish patch is free. On top of that, the translation is accurate to the original script.
I think I have that one, I'll have to check my files later. It would be nice if we could get this remake without all of the bullshit, thank God for mods.
@@ViddyOJamesIf you have standards you'll skip the hd 2d vame altogether and pretend it doesn't exist. As long as you keep playing censored remakes and remasters, publishers and devs are gonna keep ruining them with censorship more and more.
It’s precisely because he passed away that they feel empowered to do this. Companies don’t care about honoring a person’s legacy once they’ve passed away even if it’s someone that made them a ton of money. There are very few people in corporate settings that actually care about the people that work for them. Everybody is expendable to them.
They actually made these changes before Toriyama died. They were also making him change his designs in the last half dozen or so DQ games. It just didn't get coverage in the news until this recent entry. The changes in stuff like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy really awoke people to what localizations are doing. But Dragon Quest has been getting this treatment since the DS days. And 100x worse than the stuff you see in Fire Emblem or Mana or the like.
Don't even bother with Steam, they are infected. I got a warning from Steam themselves for saying, "you just came here to be a jerk." to someone who was being very toxic. Somehow I get a warning. The discussion was in relation to a supposed DEI game. I was also trying to be very respectful and non confrontational, didn't come there to argue like a toddler and this person happened to have a bunch of flags and stuff on their profile. Place is full of crooked mods if you ask me, I personally wouldn't dare express an opinion on there that isn't just about the gameplay or ways to improve the game. I spent too much money on my account to risk that. I think I still have a screenshot of the support message.
They just... took a dump on Akira Toriyama's grave like it was nothing. Square had the right idea to tell Sony to F off, but now with what they're doing, what was even the point? They just shot themselves in the foot with a shotgun. Square is already doing awful, as they have lost a ton of money. However, pissing on Akira Toriyama's grave will only guarantee that this game won't sell at all. All they had to do was remake the game in its original image, but apparently that was too hard. They just had to desecrate the original art and take a big dump on a masterpiece. Now, the remake of DQ3 being ruined is one thing, but just look past that for a moment. What will part 3 of the FF7 remake look like? Years ago when part 1 released, I had hoped that we might perhaps see FF6 remake done in the same way. Now though? I don't even want it, because I know that if they do, it will only spit in the faces of the fans of the original.

Their threat to tank a game by having game journos writing hit pieces on them is bogus anyway. We've lost faith in game journos over the years because they are paid to promote the DEI trash games and always give them a 7 or better, and the really good games they downplay as much as possible and give lower ratings than they deserve. It's really an empty threat but the devs all live in a bubble and don't realize that

These modern people never even play games, but they always ruin everything. All they do is eat and protest. I am Asian and I cannot understand the thinking of modern era. They insult Akira Toriyama's legacy.
I am so happy Square Enix has abandoned the Chrono franchise. Because with today's Square Enix, anything Chrono will disrespect the original. Hell, even the OG devs fucked up with Chrono (see Chrono Cross), so I can't see DEI devs doing it justice.
Censorship always ramps up. People need to stop saying that idiotic stuff about it just being "a small change." That's the point; so they can keep doing it and all of a sudden, the nonsensical changes aren't so small anymore.
This entire thing started with Sony censoring niche and obscure games back in the PS4 era. People kept saying, "it's small" "who cares" "you're weird for caring for something so insignificant". Well, now it's evolved to them censoring AAA and legacy games. People don't learn.
It's also a failed argument when it comes to Dragon Quest because they aren't small changes. This is a series where 50% or more of the dialogue will be changed (or flat out removed). Changing one characters name is a "small" change. Changing literally every characters name is ridiculous. But that's what many western localized DQ games have done. And then they have to change a lot of the characters dialogue to justify the name change. And then they give them weird regional accents that weren't in the original Japanese....and so on.
@@DiogoJ1 No, you should be caring about the small changes. Because if you don't speak up about those, then they will eventually start doing the big changes. Which Dragon Quest is the best example of this. They've been doing big changes since the NES days.
Guess I will wait for a decensor mod which someone will no doubt make, and then pirate the game. I still remember playing the originals when I was a kid, I was so excited to revisit an old dragon quest title in an updated coat of paint with maybe some new QoL features. I was a 100% guaranteed buy for them.
@@LuigiTheMetal64 Masculine is a priority too. Because masculine men inspire other men to be masculine too. It makes them question their weakness and strive to greater highs.
Before, in the SNES days, they barely had any censorship and mistranslation was common. But now, its crazy how much they go out of their way to CENSOR things that I agree its literally defacing Akira Toriyama legacy work. Edit: Apologizing to his grave isn't enough in my opinion. I'll let the Japanese mind work on what I'd request if I was them.
@Nora_Short The series developed its own theological lore as it went on. Therefore, the cross was removed in order to avoid association with Christianity. The cross symbol has been retired a long long time ago.
Imagine if men shamed women into thinking that wanting handsome and attractive men in their media is disgusting and harmful, and that it belongs only in erotica.
Insanity? Nah we’re bunch of deep detective with a great deductions. Yeah. I had a bad feeling long ago when they made the most stupidest censorship in monster quest on the switch with Maya outfit that was the last straw and has low hope for hd dq3. And yup. My prediction is true……. I betting this going to be disastrous. Yeah. This is a complete insult to Toriyama.
I feel the CERO rating has something to do with this, too. The creator of Resident Evil has complained about how CERO is run by people who don't play games rating games for people who don't play games. The director of Smash Brothers also complained about CERO wanting to censor Mai Shiranui.
You're absolutely right Smash, making these minor changes, censoring a little outfit here and there is a domino effect and only gets worse. Just like they did with WoW. The DEI department will look for ANYTHING to be problematic.
Yup because there job depends on it. They don't care about the product they are destroying so eventually you just end up with a complete mess of a product thanks to them.
The Dragon Quest audience in Japan are THE most conservative, as in, they will brook VERY little change or meddling with the original formula or art. Square-Enix are seriously playing with fire on this one.
The worst part about this is how ghoulish it is, it ramps up pretty much immediately after the original artist dies so he can't speak out against it that's not a coincidence you see this time and time again that the kinds of idealogues who push for censorship especially towards older works just cannot wait to disrespect the dead, it's the ultimate form of bullying essentially as it's defaming and desecrating a person who literally cannot defend themselves.
Notice how they waited till after Toriyama's passing to release this and censor it? As a fellow youtuber once said "Sex sells and "budget cuts" kill games"
Yeah I got hell p*****d learning about this, this is Mr Toriyama's work, I got told to calm down and I said NO! Look what there doing! You can't do this to a beloved artists work, it's absolutely shameful and complete heresy
Because gaming companies are aware America is just full of mindless paypigs. Why do you think most online games always take 5+ years to go "global". When the popularity dies, they release in America with outrageous cash shops. Blade & Soul is a shining example of this. A bunch of MMOs cash shops/events differ massively outside of America if it starts out Global. They will never take America seriously.
It's the "slippery slope." They poke and prod for weakness where they can get in. Do a little something here and there and then push it further and further until the barriers that were in place are a distant memory. It's simultaneously their best and worst trait, they're VERY patient.

Despite Ken Sugimori still being alive, TPCI made the modern Pokémon characters no longer be Pokémon characters by design. They lost their common arching head with the tall and round eyes together character design. The SV characters, as Lumi said it best, look like dolls than anime characters.
I blame that on them being idiots when it comes to approaching any game needing a 3D requirement. They can make 2D and 2D-3D concepts work like Square Enix has done with Octopath, Triangle Strategy, etc. but always have to outsource for help on 3D projects like picking up/creating ILCA. That said, the features of characters like in the DQ3 game have been drastically altered simply because artists now use rounded line art more instead of sharp, fine lines and in doing so also decide since they are they gotta make the characters softer across the board so no guns, open sword usage, etc.
@@richardklein1167 KoF XIII, Blade Strangers, Under Night In-Birth, Phantom Breaker: Omnia, and the upcoming Hunter x Hunter: Nene Impact are the prime examples of video games with 2D anime characters that can be on top of 3D backgrounds.
Japan was known for pushing the boundaries of what they could get away with in their art (anime, manga, videogames, etc...) regarding sexuality, as it was a form of political protest against Japan's censorship laws on nudity. This is counterproductive to what the artists of the past were trying to achieve with their art.
I swear, whenever you use the “if it’s such a minor change, then why change it to begin with?” reply, they just completely shut down and don’t know how to respond.
To be honest, modern censorship is very similar to censorship in the early days of gaming, especially when japanese games came over to the west, with entire games being different depending on region or certain content being either removed or changed. In the early 2000s to late 2010s, censorship, while still apparent, became less noticeable. Somehow, censorship in the gaming industry is going backwards, and it's not looking good for anyone.
I realy dont like when people ask "why do you care" when they change things. I care because this does not imporve the remake and is just something you did for a reason you know quite well so the real question how could you not see that what you are doing is wrong
You're missing the fact that in Japan you can sue people and companies for defamation if the person/company offends your honor, so if a Japanese person wrote that about Square Enix's Ethics Department, this may be a serious legal matter for Square Enix

I won't be buying it because SE has been woke AF for a while now, been chopping up games to sell you DLC composed of what came standard in previous games, been shockingly incompetent at writing, done multiple terrible remakes of games that should've been slam dunks, and I was already refusing to support them on principal.
Defacing Toriyama's art is just one more thing to add to a long list of reasons to never give SE a single cent.
@@Sin_Alder You, you know what's up, this is how I often feel about modern Square-Enix, Idk how a once great JRPG power house become full of so much fail in the past decade or two.

Boycott all censorship games.
Especially Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Somehow, 4kids returned.
Despite the censorship that 4Kids, they were at least iconic and memorable.
I know people dislike how they change the Yu-go-oh! And Pokémon but I love their English. Especially Seto Kaiba. He got such amazing lines.
And those censorship they did made “sense” that worked with the world… except Jelly-filled Donut.
Now? None of the charm and pure malice.
@@viruschris3160 You have a bias for the old dubs because you saw them first/grew up with them. A lot like how people defend the accents and other changes in Dragon Quest games. But they're still alterations/censorship. And not acceptable. Because allowing some changes just leads to more. The reason we're seeing these companies becoming more and more bold with their alterations/censorship is because there wasn't push back on the earlier times when they did it.
One step forward (telling Sony to F off) 10 steps back (censorship) with Square.
Garbage.
Mortal Kombat features the most grotesque and detailed gore scenes possible, anything you can imagine, they've done it, but boobs are where they draw their "moral" line in the sand, even the female character's faces are ugly on purpose in MK now, I find it so backwards that North America demonizes female sexiness while being okay with the most hyperviolent horrifying gore possible. I'm okay with violence I just find it weird and annoying that they are so prudish about the female body but everything else is okay to them. In this case, a bikini is problematic? come on dude, can the CEOs who only care about money just fire these prudish activists already.
reminds me of a Scandinavia and the World comic where Sweden is playing a horror game. While the other countries are increasingly horrified, America just looks bored and keeps dissing the tropes. Then he flips out seeing naked corpses. Yep, America in a nutshell; bored of blood and gore, terrified of seeing a penis.
Its even worse,they actually upped the gore to 11 in modern games.SmashJT should look into it.
I mean then again, fighting games have to have some sexy female characters. Otherwise you’re game is barely even a fighting game at all. Besides logically, you couldn’t even fight wearing…idfk…10 layers worth of clothing on your skin unless if you want to fumble all over the goddamn place!
It's not exclusively activists within dev teams that facilitate this crap. It's mandates for generous financial assistance from Blackrock/Bridge and other firms hellbent on societal reform and sowing devision.
They mostly want DEI initiatives to be unescapable in the corporate workplace. So infesting media to normalize such is only the beginning of the gradual plan for reform. Just don't buy things that have apparent DEI/ESG influence. I'm forgoing the Dead Rising remaster even though I am a huge fan, because this is all unacceptable.
@@sherrdreamz7232 yeah, I am aware of that, it's definitely both ( agree about Dead rising remaster, I dropped interest when I found out it was woke, the original doesn't need a remaster imo, a lot of remakes fail to capture the charm of the originals )
What's annoying is hearing the "its just censorship, it's still a great game" line from gamers who don't see the bigger picture.

Well this started with Sony censoring Japanese games, shutting down Japan Studio, forcing rules that go about rating systems world wide, then DEI, DEI then infects big Japanese companies like SE, they create Forespoken, double down and poison their own games, Capcom is the same too and Sega.
Square Enix is the weirdest one when it comes to this.
On one hand, they censor stuff like when they made Tifa's chest smaller in VII Remake........but then in VII Rebirth, not only does she have her bigger chest again, but the literal way they marketed Rebirth was by constantly showing her and Aerith in swimsuits.
SE is an eastern studio masquerading as a western one. I partially blame Enix for this mentality, yet overtime the entire studio would gladly make crap like Forspoken and censor all of their jrpgs.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were in financial trouble again, they've had a lot of flops in the past few years, only ARR has kept them afloat, and a few outliers like FF7R (or at least the first FF7 remake, the second didn't sell nearly as well).
Akira Toriyama is rolling in his grave
Ken Sugimori would be mad at TPCI since he is still alive, and made many of the nice human character designs.
Toriyama was cremated, dude
Why do new generations of old companies like pissing on the works that built these companies in the first place? Whether censoring old works or apologizing for them. Imagine, as an artist, looking at a drawing from your predecessor from the game you are _remaking_ (akira mfing toriyama, the legend himself) and saying to yourself "this is inappropriate, I will _improve_ it". The sheer hubris.
Activist out of college
Combination of Resentiment, an inferiority complex knowing they can never live up to their predecessors, and Neomaoism
Narrow minded view of the past and old things, while think everything new is automatically good.
Some being more of public sensitivities despite how much it ruins the work.
It's a combination of shareholders and hedge funds demand they follow the DEI money. But also, part of following the DEI demands is hiring activists. And activists only live for fighting and changing stuff. That's what makes them activists. Most of the people working in localization and all the people working in HR/Ethics departments are activists. And to justify their existence, they demand changes. Because that's the only reason they are employed. If a game went under their review and they didn't flag anything, then the company is going to start asking "why am I employing you to do nothing?"
I will keep on playing my retro games then, since every new game west companies will release as a remaster, it will always be censored.
Let's see how much they censor/modify Silent Hill 2 remake.
this. They could have gotten an easy buck with a proper remaster, but I won't be paying for downgrades when I can already play it by my own means.
If new games are likely being this much crap, my saving would be exponentially increasing.
At some years in the future I might be able to afford a Zeekr.😂🎉
System Shock had a really good remake last year
Exactly, same reason why I don’t get excited about a “remake” or “remaster” anymore. Look at what they did with Mass Effect’s remaster. Instead of fixing ME3 ending, resources went to censored the areas that were deemed “offensive” then there’s Capcom and their RE games. Namco is the same way. And people buying their games still and the dumbest ones, for buying their censored games. I can see already people buying the new Dead Rising game even knowing how censored that game is.

Goodbye Square Enix, nice knowing you
Isn’t this the Dragonball artist who died recently?
What right do they have to mess with the original artwork after he’s dead?
It’s precisely because he passed away that they feel empowered to do this. Companies don’t care about honoring a person’s legacy once they’ve passed away even if it’s someone that made them a ton of money. There are very few people in corporate settings that actually care about the people that work for them. Everybody is expendable to them.
@@SuperSaiyanFrohan1994 You know what else is expendable to them? Their morals and sense of shame.
They actually made these changes before Toriyama died. They were also making him change his designs in the last half dozen or so DQ games. It just didn't get coverage in the news until this recent entry. The changes in stuff like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy really awoke people to what localizations are doing. But Dragon Quest has been getting this treatment since the DS days. And 100x worse than the stuff you see in Fire Emblem or Mana or the like.
I keep getting banned on the steam forums for simply discussing this topic.
Gabe is part of the woke mob
Don't even bother with Steam, they are infected. I got a warning from Steam themselves for saying, "you just came here to be a jerk." to someone who was being very toxic. Somehow I get a warning. The discussion was in relation to a supposed DEI game. I was also trying to be very respectful and non confrontational, didn't come there to argue like a toddler and this person happened to have a bunch of flags and stuff on their profile. Place is full of crooked mods if you ask me, I personally wouldn't dare express an opinion on there that isn't just about the gameplay or ways to improve the game. I spent too much money on my account to risk that. I think I still have a screenshot of the support message.
They just... took a dump on Akira Toriyama's grave like it was nothing. Square had the right idea to tell Sony to F off, but now with what they're doing, what was even the point? They just shot themselves in the foot with a shotgun. Square is already doing awful, as they have lost a ton of money. However, pissing on Akira Toriyama's grave will only guarantee that this game won't sell at all.
All they had to do was remake the game in its original image, but apparently that was too hard. They just had to desecrate the original art and take a big dump on a masterpiece. Now, the remake of DQ3 being ruined is one thing, but just look past that for a moment. What will part 3 of the FF7 remake look like?
Years ago when part 1 released, I had hoped that we might perhaps see FF6 remake done in the same way. Now though? I don't even want it, because I know that if they do, it will only spit in the faces of the fans of the original.
Censorship is DISRESPECT to the creator.
So glad I canceled my preorder for this. I will be playing through my translated SNES DQIII when this comes out.
Censorship is about hate.
ESG should be regulated against.

Their threat to tank a game by having game journos writing hit pieces on them is bogus anyway. We've lost faith in game journos over the years because they are paid to promote the DEI trash games and always give them a 7 or better, and the really good games they downplay as much as possible and give lower ratings than they deserve.
It's really an empty threat but the devs all live in a bubble and don't realize that

They'd put a brown under shirt and loin cloth on Ayla.
First, some asshole harassed Toriyama about the black characters after his passing, now this!?
Censorship always ramps up.
People need to stop saying that idiotic stuff about it just being "a small change." That's the point; so they can keep doing it and all of a sudden, the nonsensical changes aren't so small anymore.
People don't understand that the truly defining changes in life/culture always start barely noticeable, then before you know it, Rome has fallen.
This entire thing started with Sony censoring niche and obscure games back in the PS4 era. People kept saying, "it's small" "who cares" "you're weird for caring for something so insignificant". Well, now it's evolved to them censoring AAA and legacy games. People don't learn.
It's also a failed argument when it comes to Dragon Quest because they aren't small changes. This is a series where 50% or more of the dialogue will be changed (or flat out removed). Changing one characters name is a "small" change. Changing literally every characters name is ridiculous. But that's what many western localized DQ games have done. And then they have to change a lot of the characters dialogue to justify the name change. And then they give them weird regional accents that weren't in the original Japanese....and so on.
But that's the thing, we shouldn't care small changes. Once the changes become big, that's when we should care.
@@DiogoJ1 No, you should be caring about the small changes. Because if you don't speak up about those, then they will eventually start doing the big changes. Which Dragon Quest is the best example of this. They've been doing big changes since the NES days.

You're absolutely right Smash, making these minor changes, censoring a little outfit here and there is a domino effect and only gets worse. Just like they did with WoW. The DEI department will look for ANYTHING to be problematic.
Yup because there job depends on it. They don't care about the product they are destroying so eventually you just end up with a complete mess of a product thanks to them.
The Dragon Quest audience in Japan are THE most conservative, as in, they will brook VERY little change or meddling with the original formula or art. Square-Enix are seriously playing with fire on this one.
@falguard Not really. If that was truly the case, DQM 3 would have flopped.
they already covered her design few years ago in dragon quest treasure
The worst part about this is how ghoulish it is, it ramps up pretty much immediately after the original artist dies so he can't speak out against it that's not a coincidence you see this time and time again that the kinds of idealogues who push for censorship especially towards older works just cannot wait to disrespect the dead, it's the ultimate form of bullying essentially as it's defaming and desecrating a person who literally cannot defend themselves.
Art should be respected not defaced. Keep SE away from museums, I fear for Michelangelo’s David.

How family should sue Square Enix for dishonoring his legacy
Despite Ken Sugimori still being alive, TPCI made the modern Pokémon characters no longer be Pokémon characters by design. They lost their common arching head with the tall and round eyes together character design. The SV characters, as Lumi said it best, look like dolls than anime characters.
I blame that on them being idiots when it comes to approaching any game needing a 3D requirement. They can make 2D and 2D-3D concepts work like Square Enix has done with Octopath, Triangle Strategy, etc. but always have to outsource for help on 3D projects like picking up/creating ILCA. That said, the features of characters like in the DQ3 game have been drastically altered simply because artists now use rounded line art more instead of sharp, fine lines and in doing so also decide since they are they gotta make the characters softer across the board so no guns, open sword usage, etc.
@@richardklein1167 KoF XIII, Blade Strangers, Under Night In-Birth, Phantom Breaker: Omnia, and the upcoming Hunter x Hunter: Nene Impact are the prime examples of video games with 2D anime characters that can be on top of 3D backgrounds.

I swear, whenever you use the “if it’s such a minor change, then why change it to begin with?” reply, they just completely shut down and don’t know how to respond.

I'm glad they're taking a stand against it! We're getting silenced over here for opposing it.
Square/Enix and Crapcom have been ideologically captured.
FFVII's ending is going to be a trip if they're this damn bold.
To be honest, modern censorship is very similar to censorship in the early days of gaming, especially when japanese games came over to the west, with entire games being different depending on region or certain content being either removed or changed. In the early 2000s to late 2010s, censorship, while still apparent, became less noticeable. Somehow, censorship in the gaming industry is going backwards, and it's not looking good for anyone.
TLDR: The only difference between Censorship in the modern era and censorship back than is that it's worldwide
I realy dont like when people ask "why do you care" when they change things. I care because this does not imporve the remake and is just something you did for a reason you know quite well so the real question how could you not see that what you are doing is wrong
I feel scammed for pre-ordering this game.

You're missing the fact that in Japan you can sue people and companies for defamation if the person/company offends your honor, so if a Japanese person wrote that about Square Enix's Ethics Department, this may be a serious legal matter for Square Enix
how many "modern audience" games need to release and flop for these companies to realize there is no "modern audience"
