People who make the compari...Thanks for commenting.<br />People who make the comparisons are Chrono Cross fans. Not only did they get the remaster, but they also have the original PS1 game AND remember it well enough to notice minor text changes on relatively trivial dialogue. That takes some dedication.<br />Content creators/media outlets who take those comparisons and make a whole political song-and-dance about them and say to boycott Square Enix or wotever likely aren't <i>Chrono Cross</i> fans. They're drive-by media, going from one faux-outrage story to the next. In a few months, they'll never think about <i>Chrono Cross</i> again. They'll have a few dozen other things to complain about.<br /><br />Anyway, as someone who dislikes SJWs and is also a writer, it's a stretch to say swapping out "manly" or "ladylike" for more specific words (this is objectively better writing and in absolutely no way takes away from the original script but is the same or better) is "inserting politics in their games." If anything, it's... removing politics from their games if you think hard enough about it.<br />I mean, if I was a social justice warrior and my goal was to pollute the minds of people playing games, I'd change the actual plot and have it be something that someone playing the game for the first time ever would play and come away with a certain point of view.

So he has his "censored" accent in the 2022 remaster in certain spots but not others, and I believe the difference is where the accent generator was applied. (I don't know why there was an accent generator to begin with in the original game, but I did read back before the remaster was ever announced that people thought the whole accent system was stupid.)Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-34517100201200074942022-04-29T20:31:52.182-04:002022-04-29T20:31:52.182-04:00Accent generator?

An rpg is usually hours long, So if someone ever did replay the game years later it’s not like they’d be amazed that some random npc has a different accent then the first time they played the game. If they even remembered the character at all.<br /><br /> Does “Mojo’s speech patterns differ inconsistently” differ by each players game or by every localization attempt. Unless I’ve gotten something confused.

Enix has started to rerelease some of their games, I think that they were the ones who merged with the company that made Actraiser. I’d count those as Enix games now, since the original company died a looong time ago anyway. Of course actraiser “remaster” looked like sludge, but thats besides the point.

One of the characters who is a broom/tree used to have an accent and they removed it. Kinda weird, I guess they thought maybe someone’s mistake the broom/trees accent as a racial stereotype do some sort? . Side tangent, I wonder how former Enix employees feel about Square Enix just being referred to as Square by so many of the Internet. I know you didn’t do, but so so many do.
