It came as somewhat of a surprise to learn earlier this year that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake will replace the traditional Male or Female character option with players now chosing between character type Type A or character type Type B.
Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and former Shonen Jump editor Kazuhiko Torishim, talk about the long-awaited remake and this surprising change. Neither minced their words over the changes and attributed the blame on what Mr. Torishim called “A religious concept from the West, especially in America, that influences their approach to sex education.”
Former Shonen Jump editor Kazuhiko Torishima: “There’s a religious concept from the West, especially in America, that influences their approach to sex education, right? Their approach to compliance is really narrow-minded. When selling manga in America, everything had to be categorised by age groups. Because there’s a risk of lawsuits, the company also has to get insurance. Doing business with such a ridiculous country is really frustrating. Because of that, Japan also gets negatively influenced.”
Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii: These comments resonate with Horii, as he pointed to another change in the game, involving the character selector. In the original, you could pick between male and female protagonists, but the remake will see these options renamed Type A and Type B. “I really wonder who’s even complaining about this?” he pondered.
