In a sense, this article isn’t really about Harry Potter, no one expects any progress from the franchise, and no one will trust any attempt they make. HP/Rowling is just the catalyst.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not trying to be confrontational.

I’ve accepted that there probably won’t be any sort of good answer any time soon. For any game that requires a binary gender (either for lore or mechanics), the best you can seem to hope for is letting body type, voice, pronoun, and genitalia (when relevant) be independent choices.

Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD, though I’d wait through Zelda’s 35th for the slim chance they do something with them.

Weird, I had the exact same phase. For me it lasted specifically from Emerald (skipped/left,2004) to Platinum (played/rejoined,2008).

What resolution are you expecting? Blizzard to do something? It’s not exactly a new problem.

I remember it being really cool and edgy.

So, you’re saying he was never really a femenist, it was just incedental to telling (at the time) a good story, and he ran with it?

Judge: Hey, what they’re asking is kinda not okay... but comply anyways.

Not that it’ll do any good for this story. That’s the first after market modification people will do.

If you were around and remember mid 2000's anime fandubs, where an episode can get cranked out in under a weekend, with translators notes dropped for things that are too hard to localize (90% of puns and words that don’t translate easily), it’s easy to think that’s how it should be.

Nevermind there is a lot more into localization than just recording lines. They’ve already decided on an English dub, using the English cast of Persona 5.

It was the localization team, who already had to find English voices anyways, not the Japanese branch of either studio.

At first I was like, “I don’t hear it”

What in the bad faith are you talking about? What hate mob? What ruining his life?

I’d say 50/50 on the camera. Quest has shown that external tracking isn’t inherently necessary, but Vive has shown that in a premium setup the external tracking is still better and less prone to drift*. Marketwise, Playstation VR is aiming for something in middle of those two, so while I’d personally hope they’d try…

In [Smash Bros], guest characters bring their own music, combat moves, gameplay quirks, sound effects, and more to the experience.

Franchise created by shitty person with projects to directly profit shitty person is being lead by *checks notes* different shitty person.

No one is accusing him of a crime.

The only two honest reasons I can think of (so aside from greed), would be either:
A) an incompatable feature set (characters, mechanics, etc), which seems unlikely given that cross play is supposed to be a thing?
B) an engine overhaul of a significant enough degree to alienate a large population of their fanbase. I’d…
