A Japanese site which is has been reliable with leaked information is reporting that the forthcoming Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake will do away with male and female titled appearances and will instead opt for Appearance A and Appearance B. The site reports that voice actors Nobuyuki Hiyama will be voicing the Appearance A character and Yuko Minaguchi will be voicing the Appearance B character. The Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake launches on multiple platforms including the Nintendo Switch on 14th November.
The “Look A” heroes will be played by Shuyuki Hiyama, and the “Look B” heroes by Yuko Minaguchi. The “Looks A/B” designations suggest that the “male” and “female” occupational gender categories have been abolished, and that the design has instead been changed to a format in which the user chooses his or her favorite design from two different looks.

These kinds
Whoops, accidentally sent that too soon. Anyway, these kinds of decisions are nice in theory, but they’re kind of meaningless unless you’re going to put in a separate pronoun selection screen. Otherwise, I can guarantee it’s just a decision meant to make them look good without putting in any actual effort at all.
It’s more and more disturbing to me how uncaring people are about this kind of thing. Saying “it doesn’t matter.” Is this how far we’ve come as a species? Are we so averse to the cries of losers that we will not correct the most basic of truths? Unbelievable
Another dumb change that just make no sense why is it so controversial to say Male or Female? the humans can only be either one
I have to admit it’s a pretty meaningless decision. They had the same thing for Harvestella and it was still a very mediocre game. Game developers need to be firm on there vision regardless of outside influences.
Honestly puts me in the fence to even buy the game now. I am tired of people trying to change history to fit others agendas. Just update the game graphics and be done geez.
Go outside lol, you need to get a grip
Thanks for this w0k€ BS. You won’t be getting any of my money.
Woman hater, go back to your parents’ basement.
||That’s a good idea, you can spend that money paying the rent to your parents instead…||
What’s it like to know you’ll die sad and alone, probably in the street when your parents finally kick you out?
Least offensive DEI/ESG but it’s still censorship nonetheless. Under normal circumstances I would boycott but this is one I’ll buy and hope Square-Enix boots DEI/ESG as they know full well those types of games will always flop unless they want another Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
This has nothing to do with DEI, Jesus Christ do you Looney’s love your buzzwords. You use them so often they lose all meaning. Shit gibbon.
To anyone who says, “Why are you upset about this? It’s no big deal.”, I reply, “If it’s not a big deal, why change it?”
Exactly. If this doesn’t matter then NOTHING matters. It’s basic biology. Not war and politics
Truly spoken like someone who only has surface level knowledge of the subject. We used to have more information on human sexuality and gender expression but you know, something happened in Germany around 1942 that led to its destruction. Have fun being on THAT side of history. 👌
Cause to some it’s a big deal, for me I don’t give a fuck, simple as, that’s still the male and female option with a different name, if I’m playing this I’m gonna be saying “oh look this dumb shit again” and then keep playing cause nothing happened to some who have this gender issue, they are gonna be happier, the end.
To someone who likes the option when it’s implemented intentionally and with care (i.e. not this instance) I commend this based asf take. A chad among virgins.
Hey dorks, be like this guy.

The only queer in chat
I’m non-binary. Do I like having the option sometimes to to choose my actual identity? Fucking duh. Everyone does. Do I want it to be shoe horned in to a classic game I love? Absolutely not. It’s pointless. I have no issue choosing a male or female character in any game. No one asked them to do this. Usually I would say it’s the thought that counts, but now I’m going to have a bunch of 4chan losers blaming me and my community for a bunch of shit we didn’t ask for. New games built with that in mind? Absolutely. Love it. I’ll take it where I can, and not really care when it isn’t there.
Thanks square for trying, but instead making things worse by flaming up the bigots to blame me for more shit 🙃
Dang, this is so confusing now i won’t know what option to pick appearance A or appearance B. Won’t be long and will have the appearance C option in games, for trans.
That statement shows that you hate an entire group of people without understanding even the slightest simplest of things about them. Your brain must be smooth as fuck bro.
I’d replay to your post if i didn’t think you would analyze everything i said and blow it outta proportion and jump to a conclusion “to late for that” I won’t waist my time and explain my original post for someone so simple minded that they just assume the worst and make cheap mom jokes. your brain must be overloaded with you trying to analyze every post and thinking of a comeback. you must have thought long and hard.
Don’t get all butthurt just because i mentioned trans in my post.
It’s amazing how easy it is to offend some gamers.
Jap devs need to stop it with the crap already. People don’t like their God given sex being reduced to a “body type”. It’s “inclusive” to a insignificant minority at the expense of literally everybody else.
