Cool.
He's still privy to no more information than you or I about the game's development, so his speculation on the game's future is basically no better than if you linked a random GameFAQs post. And I do feel the need to say this because there's a chance some poor sap out there thinks he has some kind of insider information and gets their hopes up for something that may not happen. Also,
Fine, but it's still required to cover ALL the bases since guess what, it's also not confirmed that there WON'T be any DLC (and the fact that Sony HAS voiced plans to do Scarlet-related DLC in Fortune does point to Scarlet itself having DLC, and that bit IS official information).
Not the article. The comments section. As in, the comments people have left on the article. It's filled to the brim with all sorts of hatefulness and just toxicity in general.
Yeah, don't buy it regarding misogyny. If they were misogynistic, I'm pretty sure they'd be telling girls to lop off their breasts since they don't serve an individual economy like Simone de Beauvoir once advocated (and she's a feminist), or actually condoning throwing acid into girls faces, or stuff like that. And let's not forget, those GIFs were only posted because of what he said about making the girls' chests smaller to make them "more human." And no one has actually posted a transcript of the interview in Japanese to refute it, meaning it's pretty clearly fact, not a misinterpretation.
That's gamergaters for ya. Also I don't see how someone completely misinterpreting what Shimbori actually said makes that misogyny.
Yeah, about that, unless you've got a copy of the transcript in Japanese of his interview with Gamespot that makes clear what he actually said, like I don't know, somewhere in Famitsu, that shows otherwise, I wouldn't call THAT a misinterpretation of what he said. Maybe if he said in exact words "more realistic", I'd let it slide, or, heck, especially "more common", since, hey, large breasts aren't exactly that commonplace, being pretty rare as a matter of fact. But calling them non-human IS misogynistic, there's no other way to cut it. It would be the same thing as saying they lightened up Lisa's skin color to make her look more human, which if you or I said that, we would be rightfully condemned as racist. To put it bluntly, use you head.
In any case, at least we know who the second girl is. We also know that Fortune is getting Scarlet-related DLC (though whether it's an actual good thing or not isn't clear at the moment, since Sony's recent censorship policies might result in Fortune also getting censored).
