Interview with YoshiP - PAX Aus 2024

[Carin-Eri]

Makes for some interesting reading, particularly regarding the reception of Dawntrail, although not sure the concerns that many players have expressed have been fully addressed:

omg so much delusional PR talk and bad interviewers with boring questions without any guts.

"She’s a very complex character, and she even has a bit of a complex about herself." no she's a unidimensional boring shonen-esque character. that's why ppl don't like most of DT cast because none of those have any kind of shade...

"wuk lamat is like a little sister to me" oh god...

i don't understand how yoshida can still handle answering the same questions again and again.

that "article", if we can call that sh*t like that, demonstrate only one thing : journalism is real job, here it felt like an interview made by a trainee on its first day of work.

Well, I'd argue that he did at least address/call out the death threats made toward a certain VA....

didn't adress the fact that the same VA do a bad PR on social media and act like a victim when she's the only one putting oil on fire

That's true - and a good point.
Although I still don't feel that bad PR and playing victim should = death threats. Yes she did those things and certainly didn't help matters, but the punishment doesn't fit the crime in my opinion.

never said she deserve those. but if you are a public person you should act like it and take care of what you are saying, especially on social medias. if she just ignored comments about her VA work (which personally i don't care because i'm not playing with english voices), and have not made those takes on twitter : pretty convinced that none of it would've happened.

Twitter is a cess pool these days first of all, and death threats are never okay. Second of all, she is not innocent either. She's a pretty awful person in some of those tweets

Just because she ranted about wanting to break the legs of people that got jobs she wanted doesn't make her a bad person... or something. I can't figure out how apologists for people like that think, so I can't even make sarcastic posts that don't make me sound like a nutcase.

Or ranting about a trans character has to be voiced by a trans VA, only to then do VA for both male and female characters in the same year (Unicorn Overlord and FFXIV).
So rules for thee, but not for me.

Pretty sure all the questions were screened before the interview even started. It's more or less how games journalism works now a days where it's more of an extension for PR than anything else.
