how well did SE represent your cultures in dawntrail?

I only ever get on X for updates to games I play. I mainly just get notifications about Dead By Daylight and Hunt : Showdown, with a few CC's I watch sprinkled in. I've heard about the crap that goes on X, so I avoid it for the most part.

That is the ideal way to use it. That and just following artists. Get a few updates on upcoming/ongoing games, admire a few well done anime girls or whatever, accidentally get some new ideas for dinner, call it a day.
Used to be useful as a quick way to transfer screenshots from your PS4/Switch to PC, but can't do that anymore.

this is centrist neo lib garbage--no leftist I know likes these stupid corpos and their 4kids-esque sanitizing of everything they touch.

Then you don't know any leftist that are extreme. Hence my distinction of "Extreme", consider yourself fortunate. Not all leftist are extreme, not all right wing are extreme either. Left, center, or right, just don't go into the Extreme.

This is not actual SA (as Ibero-America). It's a just a representation of what they think is pre-columbian America, more exactly what it was the Inca Empire, and the remnants of it in some communities in Peru and Bolivia.

If they wanted to make a true representation of Latin America, they also need to knowledge the Imperialist past of all our countries, and not only as subjects of It by the USA but also as Imperialist themselves against the natives and black folks, which is sadly a It's a thing that's not talked enough. In other words the European influence that shaped our countries. Also, depending of the country they would also need to include the African Influence from the slaves that were brought by the Portuguese and Spanish to the colonies.

So to answer the original question: DT doesn't represent my culture because I'm not from the zones of Peru or Bolivia with a heavy indigenous markup, and therefor I cannot pass a judgement nor that I care to do it.

I think people here need to remember that the goal is not to recreate American culture, it's a fantasy setting with inspirations from American cultures. it doesn't have the goal to be an exhaustive representation of these cultures and their struggles. In the same way Ishgard is very French Middle-Ages, and as a French I can assure you that, by that metric, it's not done well at all. But it doesn't matter.

Lots of interesting insights on what they did represent from people from South America though, so thanks for that.

Sorry, but Europe and Asia get all the good stories because it's racist to depicts others in a state of conflict. Didn't you know the conflict between the Aztec Empire and their enemies was solved by the power of friendship?

More like it's "racist" to depict other cultures period.

Then why are you even part of this discussion? You do realize mesoamerican culture was based around imperialism and human sacrifice, right? My grandfather always said the Spaniards were karma for how we sacrificed the Otomi. A lot of people here believe that colonialization was a blessing.

Japan I particular is VERY good to be racist when trying to portray Latin America. Lmfao

DT isn't bad, tho. But it's an americanized perspective of everything.

Then again, fantasy world which got inspiration from here, so. Not a bother and it has been fun, even more to make fun of what they get it wrong.

The problem is that you can't make fun of it without hating trans people.

The further I get into DT, the more of a crime I think that this game doesn't offer a Spanish option.

Also, they really muddled the cultures. Alpacas and Mezcal??

Tacos and wool?

Come on... is Pisco that hard to look up?? Is it that hard to find silpancho or saltenas??

The environment is REALLY pretty...but I feel like they really didn't do the cultures justice.

(Still having fun, though!)
