Doesn’t surprise me that Yuji Horii would be insulated from the calls for less sexualised character designs and more gender ambiguous language used for character creation. He’s a 70 year old Japanese man; he comes from an entirely different generation of social norms, of course he’s gonna be out of touch with current social proprietary. That’s the whole reason why you have foreign localisation departments to ensure that your product falls in line with current worldwide social norms. Quite frankly, the localisation departments are doing their jobs and are doing them well. -
Dragon Quest XI is kinda tame compared to some of it's contemporaries, it's a bit silly to point it out when there are SO many games that are bigger offenders. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a good example of that. So much so, that Smash Ultimate edited Mythra's artwork to make it less fanservicy, and pretty much everyone saw it as an improvement. So much so, that it then got patched into Xenoblade 2 itself as a costume. You see, I don't see America getting involved as an inherently bad thing. The majority of the time, when the West get involved with a woman's costume, it ends up as an improvement to my eyes. Bravely Default, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions are two examples that come off the top of my head. As for the Type A/Type B gender options. Eh, don't care. It's more inclusive, and it makes those manbabies who cry about games going woke have a right hissy fit, which makes it totally worth it. -

Horii with a pretty direct callout of needing to adhere to pressures from America when making certain production decisions – such as when it comes to the female protag's outfit, or male/female options becoming Types A/B: Also "it's like an absolute god...an evil disguised as good" sounds anime as hell and I love it I can kind of see where Horii is coming from, in the sense that I took have never in my life heard someone complain about the way options are named, has anyone else? It seems extreme to me that we end up treating character designs like they're different types of mannequins? Anyways, all of this conjures up memories for me of IGN's review of Dragon Quest XI by Jared Petty, who talks about some of the skimpier outfit options in the game like just having the outfit in your inventory is going to make you spontaneously combust. Kind of hard to disagree with Horii when the first review you'll find when you search for a Dragon Quest XI review is this one. I do think there are times when anime and games can go completely overboard and oversexualise female characters to a very uncomfortable degree - outfits, angles chosen, how they're treated by and in the story, etc. - but Dragon Quest XI isn't at all one of them. There are dudes built like freaking freight trains walking around shirtless for goodness sake. And don't even get me started on "icky bits". Urgh, yes this review still irks me to this day, how could you tell? -
Lore book incoming, and it looks a little familiar Urgh fine I'll take twenty
