because the main character is a typical anime-style androgynous male troons are petitioning that he be given a trans backstory for diversity. Also it's only a bunch of white characters in the game so that has them even more riled up.
Is any of this real or is just regurgitated false outrage for a culture war that has no relevance or impact in the world whatsoever?
Well, Mana started out with shonen-lke characters which have a universal likeability
I don’t see why they push the series in the ultra-feminine direction
Always thought SD3 had a good balance
You had the prettyboy Hawkeye for the ladies who was also popular with guys too because he was cool
And then you had Duran who was your typical shonen hothead and Kevin for the furries
Legend art style and character design was a mistake, it made the series too childish and feminine visually
He refuses to do it for western audience but will gladly do it if his bosses ask him to.
And we all know the direction the suits at Square Enix are going.

I don't think anyone complained.
I think he just meant that a lot of other Japanese devs are changing their games for western audience and he'd rather not do that.
Tbf the MC does look like some homosexual femboy shota, even gayer than the shota in Xenoblade 2
Compare this guy to cool characters like Duran, Hawkeye and Kevin... yeah he just doesn’t stand a chance
The MC of Secret of Mana and the male MC of Legend of Mana weren't exactly the peak of manliness either. Nobody cared about Legend's MC as you could use the cute girl instead which is what this new one should have had.
This game is lame
I want a real Mana game
A co-op(local and online) action RPG with real-time menus(no pause) with cutting edge Cuphead-tier graphics
Also hire a manga illustrator as good as Nobuteru Yuki and a painter as good as Hiro Isono
Frick this Genshin single player shit
Pic related is what Seiken Densetsu was
This new shit is NOT my Mana
Nah it is what Mana should have been
Real time menus with no pause would bring a lot of urgency to combat/gameplay
Pause just turned it into a turn based game and abusing chaincasting/spells easily
Mana’s strength was the art, graphics and music, not the gameplay
The gameplay always sucked because it was too ahead of its time and Square didn’t know what they were doing
They didn’t get good at action combat until Kingdom Hearts, but that’s a single-player game
FF7R would have been better without pause too
Imagine FF7R with online co-op(local wouldn’t work too well with a 3D game), it would be so cool to play it with 2 friends online controlling Barret/Tifa/Aerith while you play as Cloud.
But Square is so lame and uninnovative.
>>"real Mana" is what Mana SHOULD have been rather than what all the games are
This isn't a hard concept. Every game is flawed. You sound like a low iq moron unable to understand hypotheticals.
Mana isn't one game, it's a series with dozens of games. The vast majority of them use the ring menu with pause. It's part of the series' identity. To say that "real Mana" is actually something that's never been done in the 10+ games in the series is fricking moronic.

>Mana isn't one game, it's a series with dozens of games.
Everybody only cares about 1-3
>globalization >westernized
This is so fricking moronic I swear to God
Mana cannot possibly get more European for frick sake
It’s literally inspired by Germanic/Nordic religion
I guess it’s too fricking traditional and doesn’t have moronic lgbt or Black person representation nonsense in it so it can’t be considered western nowadays
Germanics/Nordics aren't "global" or "western".
Global/Western means nu-american worship of non-whites, homosexuals and hatred/theft/diminution of anything reminiscent of native european cultures.
Except when you ask "western" political leaders what they mean by it they will not point to a distinct nation with it's own ethnic group and culture like that.
To them "western" means "democracy" (in the abstract sense you still get banned parties and everyone ignoring the actual election promises), "lgbt" and mass-immigration. It has nothing to do with actual native europeans and if they have their way it never will.
>guess it’s too fricking traditional and doesn’t have moronic lgbt or Black person representation nonsense in it so it can’t be considered western nowadays
Anon... even japanese turbo boomers know that pandering to west means Black worship, dumbing down mechanics and lgbt shit now lmao. Its that bad. Insanely conservative boomers who still use fax machines know that pandering west or rather americans means those things. Its hilarious as frick.
No it sounds about the same mindset. The game isnt compromising Manas identity ( no matter what that b***h ass pussy sxhizo androgony anon says) for, western or "global" culture (COUGH FRICKING homosexual GUILTY GEAR COUGH COUGH)
I think the intentions of this producer vs your mindset are on two completely levels.
He sounds like he just wants to put out a game out of sincerity based off the older games vs trying to take some culture war stance going "japs vs westards"

I don’t know who these Automaton homosexuals are but they’re probably some israelites.
You have brainworms
The OP article is trying to claim he said some FRICK THE WEST I WILL NOT BE SILENCED shit and what he said was more like "We arenreally focusing on any larticular audience, please enjoy the game"
>all female characters are completely covered up and not showing an ounce of skin in a series famous for the sexy witch and elf bawd >male MC is a gay femboy showing his tummy >WE AREN'T CHANGING ANYTHING WE'RE PUTTING OUR FOOT DOWN (after already self-censoring the designs per our ethics advisor's demands)
then burn down CERO and EOCS, they've been limiting games worse than the internal rating boards sony, nintendo, and sega used in the 90s.
the DIET have also been homosexuals.
What would they need to change? The MC already looks like a homosexual.
He's still straight thoughever
Is any of this real or is just regurgitated false outrage for a culture war that has no relevance or impact in the world whatsoever?
Not so fast.
But Japan likes homosexual looking characters more than the west does.
Especially at the time they were right to make gestalt
Well, Mana started out with shonen-lke characters which have a universal likeability
I don’t see why they push the series in the ultra-feminine direction

you will regret this bastard, i am rallying my /r/gamingcirclejerk sisters to boycott your chud game!
i don't even know what the frick gays were even trying to change
because the main character is a typical anime-style androgynous male troons are petitioning that he be given a trans backstory for diversity. Also it's only a bunch of white characters in the game so that has them even more riled up.
I think you just made that up
Yea its more likely that people complained he is not manly enough, just like the old days.
I don't think anyone complained.
I think he just meant that a lot of other Japanese devs are changing their games for western audience and he'd rather not do that.

BASED
I might actually have to play a mana game for the first time since the PS1
I have mixed feelings about this new mana game but I hope it ends up being good and difficult
This game is lame

>Mana isn't one game, it's a series with dozens of games.
Everybody only cares about 1-3
You dont want Mana, you want Kingdom hearts. (Which was always a mana rip off)
Now frick off moron.
KH doesn’t have co-op nor is it a 2D animated game(besides that one GBA game) you troony
Don't worry, the localizers will change it for him.
Based, I thought about buying it off a sale but now I will preorder your game.
Gee lets see what he actually was talking about in context without the culture war spin
1/2
>globalization
>westernized
This is so fricking moronic I swear to God
Mana cannot possibly get more European for frick sake
It’s literally inspired by Germanic/Nordic religion
I guess it’s too fricking traditional and doesn’t have moronic lgbt or Black person representation nonsense in it so it can’t be considered western nowadays
I fricking hate this clown world so much
Germanics/Nordics aren't "global" or "western".
Global/Western means nu-american worship of non-whites, homosexuals and hatred/theft/diminution of anything reminiscent of native european cultures.
Last I checked the West includes much of Europe including Germany, Scandinavia and England etc.
you are pretending so hard...
But it’s true. Even Japan sees it that way and they even include France and Italy etc. basically all of Central Europe at least.
Really let’s call the ’’westernization’’ what it is... ’’golemization’’.
Except when you ask "western" political leaders what they mean by it they will not point to a distinct nation with it's own ethnic group and culture like that.
To them "western" means "democracy" (in the abstract sense you still get banned parties and everyone ignoring the actual election promises), "lgbt" and mass-immigration. It has nothing to do with actual native europeans and if they have their way it never will.
West means america lets be fricking real.

so a whole lotta nothing and OP once again proves to be sucking wieners.
unsurprising.

I-I kneel. Forgive me.
Remember kids: when you see an article entirely about what someone said, and they barely directly quote that person, you're reading propaganda
>Bounding Into Comics

Is here a game dev?
- For a talk about stuff
troonys seethe at devs who do what they want. I can't wait to watch more devs do this and watch troonys off themselves
The game looks like it has none of the charm of the previous Mana remake.
then burn down CERO and EOCS, they've been limiting games worse than the internal rating boards sony, nintendo, and sega used in the 90s.
the DIET have also been homosexuals.
If lefties are seething usually it means its an actual progressive product and kino
But none of the characters are even sexy in that game
If it were western sensibilities it would just means no hip ladyboys and black females dominating the screen, yet again.
Good, frick off SBI you are not welcome.
NOOOOOOOO YOU CHUD!!!
HMPHH GUESS YOU WONT BE GETTING ANY OF RABBI FINKS GOYBUCKS THEN, CHUDDIE!!!
I WORSHIP BLACK PEOPLE ARGHHHHHHHH!!!
Why would I take advice from an actual skin walker?
holy shit this lady looks so unhinged
>self hating western white leftist
>not unhinged
lol
This creature elicits feelings of pure disgust from me that I didn't know I could still feel. I'm not a violent man, but I really want to hit her.
>No sexy outfits
>Furry main party member
Its already westernized.
>Japs: "We wont change a thing from the original! A faithful remake for a beloved series, to be enjoyed by all!"
>Localizers:
why is his vision more homosexual male character and less sexy female ones ?
