Falcom goes full "modern audience", erases pantyshots, censors problematic dialogue
Falcom has officially cucked out. No more pantyshots, it's all either cope spats or black voids just like Square Penis and nu-GUST, AND they're censoring "problematic" gendered dialogue at the source. Say what you will about Compile Heart, but it looks like they're going to become the only semi-significant publisher/developer left that still does pantyshots in spite of everything.
I have a suspicion that the reason they're doing this, and the whole reason this remake of the first Trails in the Sky exists, is because Falcom wants to soft rebrand as a more normalfag-friendly higher-budget JRPG publisher like Square Enix. Because this feels a lot like they're trying to emulate the Dragon Quest remake/remasters. They're obviously trying to draw in a new audience with this remake of the first Trails game, essentially starting from the beginning, and cleaning up all the "problematic" elements they think may offend their new intended audience along the way. Basically, otakus are no longer Falcom's intended demographic. They just use us and then drop us when it's convenient, like everyone else. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I've spent with Falcom games so far, especially Ys VIII which holds a place as one of my favorite JRPGs, but it looks like it's time to abandon ship as Falcom has abandoned me.
