how well did SE represent your cultures in dawntrail?

[Retsu90]

So they're Americans pretending to be Latino.

[Retsu90]

That's not what they do, and you know that.

That is literally what Sweet Baby Inc does, they are a consulting firm that puts game studios in contact with people from the locations who have the credentials to tell game designers what the architecture, culture, etc is like.

But oh noooooooooo that would be bad, right?

Considering I watched their CEO publically boast about using intimidation tactics on stage at GDC, I have doubts as to their capabilities.

This is false, it is a term created by queer people of Latin American descent, they are not being racist to themselves.

Wasn't it created by English-speaking Latin Americans in the United States?

I only ask, because the "x" in Latinx is allegedly difficult to pronounce for a native Spanish speaker who doesn't already know or speak English. (X's in Spanish can sound like the "s" sound or even the "h" sound).

Latino/Latina is also a term created by Latin Americans living in the US and is most commonly used to describe people of Latin American origin living in the US. Latine/Latinx was made as a gender neutral option by queer people of Latin American descent living in the US.

Is true though. Here there is a push to use words with the letter e as gender neutral. It would be latines at any rate.

This is true, Latine is more popular than Latinx.

And? Still is a north american person trying to be "cool" while not understanding why people who live or even was born in any latam country despise both terms with a passion. It may be one of the very few things people from all those countries agree, me included lol

Like the not only we have proper ways already to call them but also we hate being banded together as "latino" to begin with.

On topic: considering most of the stuff people relate to my country on media is futebol, samba and Copacabana Beach, SE did a great job. Lot's of details here and there, kind of enemies, names of itens, food, fish species etc, all most with their own twist or even mixed with other stuff bc well we have 33 different countries here, all with their own cultures, accents (some with several different accents due the size of the country), local languages, dialects, etc, it would be impossible to make stuff 1:1 and represent everything. Like Brasil alone would need the whole xpac + patches in terms of maps and still would barely scratch in terms of everything unique we have here alone.

Tbh the only thing I found offending in terms of culture and in a more general way was both Tulliyolal music themes. Like with so many unique music genres and rhythms we have in latam as whole it was extreme disappointing to hear jazz styled themes, way more after the banger we got with Radz-at-Han in EW.

I like that we're often depicted as lizard or cat people in fantasy games. I happen to like both.

[purgatori]

As someone born and raised in Tuliyollal, I think the cultural accuracy is about 1:1. It's a big improvement on Garlemald, which differed greatly from what I experienced when I visited there around six years ago.

You couldn't be more wrong.

[Midare]

Because of high levels of poverty caused by American imperialism. Google Banana Republic.

Ah yes, I'm sure you know about that better than me even if I was born here.
