Devs Please Be Careful Not To Disrespect Real Native Cultures In The New World

It's perfectly appropriate to be cautious in advance of any issues when one can still point to a time that Square screwed up and didn't fix it, as they didn't when the Sami tribal council demanded they stop copying and selling Sami cultural property in the cash shop without consulting them.

The same Sami council that the actual Sami people said doesn't represent them and they just grift money from people?

Again, I think it’s really cool that they are doing this, but one misstep, and the media will never let it down. Especially after the comments about FFXVI being supposedly racist. Division III needs to be careful with racial comments, and how they represent cultures from now on.

I hope that the players, especially here in North America are not shy to mention if the dev team messes up on any of the representation. They need to hear it from us first. I do not believe the devs are intentionally racist, or harmful to any group of people. Yoshi P and his team are much more progressive than the majority of Japan. I do think they will listen to us if such a misstep happens. There have been numerous missteps that got fixed.

The devs don't need your help with direction.

All cultures are 'native' to somewhere and works of art draw upon those cultures for inspiration. The best way to deal with people who hungrily seek after reasons to be offended is to ignore them and get on with making said art.

People just need to let the writers and designers design a world how they want to design it instead of forcing them to change it because "It might offend a group of people im not even a part of".

just go away already and stop with this cancel culture crap, its annoying at this point, let the devs create stuff for us instead of trying to stop them in their paths all the time, this is so cringe and yall are the reason why we cant get anything original in this game

The cancel culture is whats ruining modern media because they cancel anything that doesnt fit them when they dont even watch or play the things they try to cancel. Then the movies/games flop because companies cater to them.
