From the article:

“Firstly, I do understand that when we look at all the feedback that we get, it’s really difficult to discern what is specifically the feedback about the story and then feedback where people are just criticizing the character in relation to values and such – it‘s really difficult,” Yoshida tells JPGames in an interview.

“But I would very much like to request something: I would really like to ask that people do not direct personal attacks to the voice actors involved in the development and also individual members of the localization team, because they are really doing their best to create something which is great for the creative process.

“It is really not that they are trying to bring forward an argument about a certain movement or anything like that. It’s just that they are doing their best for the development so I would really like to ask that the players do not direct personal attacks against them.”

"While Dawntrail is a largely beloved expansion,"

Is it?? Is it really a largely beloved expansion? Even Yoshi has said it's been received with "Mixed reviews". The writer clearly has not done their research.

Edited to add once I finished reading the article:
Fully agree with the rest however, personal attacks are not OK. Critiquing the story, gameplay, graphics updates etc. is fair and honestly helpful if we want things to get better. Just be kind and don't direct hate/threats etc. towards anyone personally is what he's saying. Shouldn't really even have had to be said.

Reminds me when he called Criterion wildly popular. So popular I've waited up to 4+ hours to fill a party to do one.

I'm not at all surprised that he had to come out and say this, I swear people just foam at the mouth whenever a member of the lgbt+ community is involved.

The hate was there way before the article (the one that dropped shortly after DT release) outed them as trans and accused everyone of being transphobic. Prior to that article I hadnt seen any transphobic comments with plenty in that thread saying the same thing. Did that article pour petrol on the flames and pull out transphobic players? sure.

My personal opinion on the character after finishing DT is she was ok and seen the story basically as Rocky training Creed but without giving her any training. I think if they had carried the story over the patches and fleshed it out we wouldnt be having this conversation.

To be fair lgbtq or not your action reflect the company u work for. When ur telling ppl they are racist for not liking the song smile.... yeah it doesn't look good. And with the recent events as of late I mean yeah........ anyway thats my 2 cents

I want to express my thoughts on this matter, but after going through all these discussions, I find myself at a loss for words.



It's simply a video game, that's all.

You mean like she keeps attacking people for not being trans and also just like she keeps attacking white men ?

Is that only in the game ? Oh wait it isnt

Very sane behavior you are displaying there lmao

Just as sane as telling people that they should be fired for not being trans.
