Most JRPG’s (including past ff games) understand there should be consequences for the protagonists and plot armor shouldn’t be heavily utilized to tell a story.

They also don’t typically have what seems to be someone’s weird OC in(Graha)

I wanna play the JRPG's you're talking about here, cause you just listed several common tropes, all your missing is the power of love and friendship saving the day.

There's often one "fanboy" character moment in a JRPG, no matter how dark it is. Look at Tales of Zestiria, Sorey (the lead) fanboys over a lot of stuff the entirety of the game, even at the end of the game.

As for the plot armor, I suspect that's coming to an end. The Japanese VA for Thancred mentioned on Twitter that it feels like the end, and he's not sure how it can continue. Considering it's the VA for him...it's possible we're about to see consequences and characters being lost.

I'm actually a little more invested in this part of the story.

As of right now, the JP thread where this issue originated has only 159 likes on the OP. I've used accessible translators to get the gist of what some posts are talking about (especially the ones with comparably high "likes"). The one with 75 likes (Halford) says they like the current job icon and didn't want it changed (no idea how they feel about the remade icon now). Another poster (TamaTuyu, with 100 likes) brought up the point that it's a little unrealistic to try to design something with all things in mind...

Anywho, I'm curious to know if the inverse has ever happened where something was altered based-off NA requests that was completely off the radar for JP?

I'm fine with it being changed since apparently it was a trigger for some people. The new one looks fine. Doesn't bother me.

How many more things will be changed for some minor trigger, 3 holes in a job icon and they mess it up for that new garbo. Sad!

I don't like it. It doesn't fit in anymore with all the other job icons. If you look at them closely you will notice that they are all very geometrical feeling with sharp strong angles and a very defined sense of position. This feels cutesy and the diagonals introduced make it feel sloppy. It looks more like a magical girl symbol you would see on a gemstone in a cheesy anime made to sell merchandise than an actual job symbol.

If it makes you feel better, here is a thread by someone who is afraid of whales and wants to be able to change the display of other people's mounts. It's from 2018 and that function hasn't been implemented, but they have added another whale mount since then.

Always someone who get offended, they shouldn't changed it imo.

I'm fairly certain that same-sex marriage was a big push on the side of NA. That was implemented even though at the time it was quite a controversial topic in the world.
