Except for when you become queen/king, all gendered flavor text dialogue related to the protagonist has been censored in both japanese and english. there's also some npc dialogue that got censored. Also the Cross got changed into a demonfork..
Basically, everything you mentioned would fall under "removal of man or woman" as that is all gender related stuff. I couldn't find a single source mentioning anything about NPC dialouge being changed outside of gender. Feel free to lmk if you have a source. Looks like a Trident to me man, looks way more like a Demon fork in DQ8 but I dont think you could fault anyone for saying it looks like a trident. But regardless they need to stop changing stuff to appeal to those who aren't even playing these games. I've never heard a single actual DQ fan have an issue with any of these things.

@dudeguy07 I appreciate you taking the time to type this out, I wish these changes were easier to find online. Ill pin this comment so other people can see it easier. You're doing a service 🙏
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed. If you liked the first one then I definitely dont think you will be disappointed. And in regards to your other comment, ya that was hype on stream. Either he died there or I did 😂
Ngl this game looked gorgeous it almost makes me want to give Octopath Traveler 2 a chance again maybe when im done with that one and ever get around to Dragon Age Monsters i will give it a chance, great review Kane.
Damn, I can't believe I missed those streams and you had a Puar cosplayer party member too. Anyways, thanks, your review was very informative, as always. You convinced me to give it a go
Solid review, appreciated going in depth on the classes and level system which I kinda missed during the streams. Still debating trying DQ11 when I have time. Couple points 31:33 and 32:04 are the coughs/odd cuts intentional? And I don't know if it would sound better to you, but maybe try cutting out the couple times you stutter if you don't want to rercord? And I do like the short you put out and the music, but I wouldnt say its an attention grabbing intro.
As usual Quaalude, I appreciate the feedback. And no those coughs definitely werent intentional. The audio took me forever to record because I got a little sick, and kept coughing/clearing muscus. I got as many as I could but some did slip past. Also noted about the intro, it was more made for love of the franchise, but I'll make sure they're shorter in the future. 👌
first DQ game for me and it was so similar to most other turn based games I have played that it was a great place to start, I even picked up a copy of DQ11 to play when I'm done with this
About that Gadabout..... i had 2 after reclassing them from the monster wrangler... i managed both of them until they learned huslte dance.... 😅 was it worth it... no, but i had to lol
DQ2 also has the Cave to Rhone where Dracky/Can't die mode is a MUST since while the enemies their can all use the Thwack spell when you try to use it their it almost NEVER works same with Stop Magic to make sure Thwack can't be used their at all.

17:43. I'm very surprised they didn't censor the voodoos, lol.
Same honestly, I figured they did since I kept seeing them in assorted colors until that timestamp 😂
I may give this one a shot when it goes on sale. I've already played the first dragon quest game. nice review, kane

Thanks Euric
Octopath Traveler 2 was great, and you kinda made me want to replay it as well
Damn, I can't believe I missed those streams and you had a Puar cosplayer party member too.

Thanks man, glad to hear as that's why I make these videos.
I've been burned too many times by slop.
Seems to me the women wouldn't wear those shorts due the want for better mobility.

Great Review, My Yakubian Brother.
Appreciated as always Pajeeta, hope to see ya next stream
I thought maybe the feds got you, let's go 🔥
Uploaded from a remote bunker 😂
The last part of the intro was funny asf 😂😂😂
About that Gadabout..... i had 2 after reclassing them from the monster wrangler... i managed both of them until they learned huslte dance.... 😅 was it worth it... no, but i had to lol
@joshuapiplup I probably should have leveled mine a bit more to get their skills, but I was at my wits end with that class after 2 boss wipes. 😅
I love IT but the Boat/Flying bird in this version i slow as HELL they better fix that for DQ2's remake.
@veghesther3204 Oh I agree, especially the bird. Hopefully 2 at least has a "boost"
DQ2 also has the Cave to Rhone where Dracky/Can't die mode is a MUST since while the enemies their can all use the Thwack spell when you try to use it their it almost NEVER works same with Stop Magic to make sure Thwack can't be used their at all.
