Revelations from Patch 5.2

[Eyvind]

For any discussion of Nael, remember that in Japan they got the original version of the story. In Garlemald, women cannot rise higher than the rank of Praetor ("base commander") just as non-Garleans can't, because the empire of the empire's sexist attitudes toward women.

She was born Eula, and when her brother died, she took his identity, trusting in that heavy Garlean armour to conceal who she was. she had no voice actor in Japanese, but for whatever reason the English localizers (who were more out of the loop then) decided to give her one, and had no idea about the Samus reveal that was being planned. When she was revealed to be a woman, they skipped over that revelation in English and censored it. Then when the Coils came out, they wrote awkwardly around it, with Alphinaud making the usggestion of remembering his dead sister.

I do wonder if with Werlyt storyline they will finally be required to admit the mistake. It's not like anyone can play 1.0 to see the censored version anyway now.

EDIT: Simulposted there, but I should add I too find it odd that they have combat data - and I am assuming it's some kind of uploaded personality - that shows what she looked like under the armour. No one was supposed to know that.
