    Cultural-Appropriate Voice Actors in Dawntrail, for once.

    I just stumbled across a Sena Bryer tweet (Not calling it X) which raised awareness for the cultural sensitivity Square Enix (SE) demonstrated in casting Latinx, Indigenous persons and LGBTQIA+ for specific roles.

    See the tweet here: https://x.com/senabryer/status/1811632382375788690

    Eg. ***SPOILER ALERT***

    Zoraal Ja and Bakool Jaja are both voiced by members of the Latinx community.





    The fact that SE is being culturally sensitive to certain geographies and allowing BIPOC voices to be heard, even taking a role in the forefront of an entire expansion, is refreshing to say the least. This ethnic sensitivity should be applauded, as it is unprecedented in the history of SE, and maybe the MMORPG genre in aggregate. As Sena Bryer points out, and it provides hope that further BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ representation might be possible in upcoming expansions.
