[SassyAssassin]

Wait, putting someone on the ignore list still makes you see their thread in the list of topics?

*double checks in-game ignore list functionality*
Yup, working as intended. lmao

I’m enjoying the Titan kino so I’ll bump the thread.

Also, he is right about the cultural appropriation. It’s not offensive, but it shows a glaring lack of originality. It’s very reductive and basic trope usually left for lesser franchises and children’s cartoons, not the flagship fantasy RPG series. I can’t think of a single Final Fantasy game or JRPG that was this unoriginal with its world setting. Budget issues maybe?

Eh, personally speaking I think Thavnair is gorgeous.

Hey, he could be Canadian!

no, he spells some things improperly. Canada disavows him.

I'm gonna go on a snack run before I comb this thread for the replies.

I'll have to do it after work.

It's not about whether something is gorgeous. It's about whether it resorts to harmful stereotypes...

Hi TitanMan!

I'm curious how many Indians OP actually knows? That "stereotypical accent" is very much a real accent. Nidhana's VA even did it herself, who is Indian.

Yeah I'll take the word of actual Indians (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd9LD-6_bnE) than someone who assumes they are right and don't know anyone who is Indian.

Also, scions are white lol... at most, the twins are mixed race if you want to go that route. I mean, they got a dark-skinned grandpa. Also no, half the scions are elves...a fantasy race. Two others are cat people, and one is human...

I know plenty of Indian Americans and none of them sound like that. Not all Indians talk like that and making Thavnairians all talk like that is an absolute caricature.
