interview with character designer namae ayumi - zero's concept is "genderless"

www.gamer.ne.jp/news/2023021...
ゼロのコンセプトは“ジェンダーレス” ――ゼロは男性のようにも女性のようにも見える中性的なデザインが魅力ですね。このようなキャラクターはメインストーリーでは初めてだったと思いますが、ゼロのキャラクターデザインについて、意識したことがあれば教えてください。 [1bc] ゼロは、まさに「ジェンダーレスなキャラクター」としてのオーダーでスタートしています。「男性女性どちらかは未確定。骨格は男性寄りで目鼻立ちのくっきりした美青年に見せたい」といった内容でシナリオ班から発注がありました。

Koji Not long after I started translating for the support desk, the Localization team began assigning in-game translations and I was suddenly put in charge of Windurst. It was challenging for me since it was a tremendous amount of text, and I was still new to translating. The hardest part was creative writing, which I’d never done before. Even when I thought I did well on a translation, my fellow translators would look at my work and say, “You got the meaning of the sentence right, but is it fun to read? Try reading it again.”

Incidentally, the Hokkaido University of Education had about five branch campuses throughout Hokkaido, and I enrolled in the Hakodate branch to put myself in a Japanese-only environment. There were plenty of foreigners in the urban areas, so it wasn't uncommon for stores and facilities to have staff who could speak English. And even within Hokkaido, for example, if I chose to go to Sapporo, I would've gone to the entertainment district and not have studied at all, so I wanted somewhere that was more rural. (laughs) That's how I ended up choosing Hakodate, and I rarely had interactions with other foreigners during my time in university, so you could say I was immersed in Japanese for those four years.

KojiI figured my first attempt would end in failure since I'd only studied in Japan for about half a year. After all, the questions were all written in Japanese, not to mention the U.S. and Japan teach different spectrums of world history; specifically, you learn about European history in the U.S., but not so much about Chinese history, which makes up almost half of the world history taught in Japan.

On the other hand, in the making of the story that was held in the Far Eastern lands of FFXIV, we avoided making it too stiff, and definitely placed an element of importance in making it easy to understand. For example, the story of Shisui of the Violet Tides is something based off of the major Japanese fairy tale known as Urashima Taro, that any five year old in Japan has heard of (and is also similar to a legend that remains widely in China). When making a game for the domestic Japanese market, we want to avoid any majorly obvious motifs, but when considering that we are creating this for the various other players of the world we opted for a rather straightforward approach. However, when asked if Kugane and Doma are just replicas of Japan and China, I would say that they are not. We were careful to arrange those places as having their own Far Eastern fantasy world.

For all intents and purposes, there are no beast tribes in the Far East, and this all comes down to the definition of “beast tribe.” The term is one of Eorzean/Garlean origin used to describe those dastardly “spoken” (the scientific category of living beings that possess a distinct language) living in Eorzea who feel the need to not play by the rules and run about doing all manner of forbidden nastiness like claiming ancestral land as their own or summoning false deities (eikons/primals). While an Eorzean may look at the Kojin or the Namazu, the Lupin, or even Dalmasca’s Bangaa and assume they fall under “beastmen,” the denizens of the Far East simply see them as another race amongst many, and you should never hear someone from Doma or Hingashi refer to those races as beast tribes. (And if you do, it’s probably a bug and should be reported on the Lodestone LOC forums!)

We need so many people to care, so many people to say that, “I am willing to make financial and social sacrifices, professional sacrifices, in order to build a better world.” Whoever is questioning whether or not they should do that, I want them to know that they can, and it’ll be okay. That there are a lot of us out there that are ready to support them. All they have to do is come and find us, and they will have a network of support. This is a terrible thing to say, and this is not to celebrate it, but almost all my friends are exhausted and they’re still doing the work, right? Not to celebrate some evil capitalist work ethic, but they care, they do it because they care. They’re exhausted out of love, care, and desire to build a better world. That keeps me going.

People’s struggles, their fears, their concerns, the things that are happening that aren’t being highlighted in other places, that all informs the work that I do. The people that I am both fortunate and unfortunate enough to interact with online help inform how I do my advocacy and how I do my work. I think it makes me a better advocate, especially when I get to meet, experience, and befriend people whose stories are ones I’ll never experience, but sometimes they entrust me to share.

WIDARGELT ……博士を調べたときにわかったことです。 博士の息子は、祖国解放のための戦いで命を落とし……。 しかし博士はあのとおり、それで博士のことを臆病者だと……。 He fought in the Resistance. Yet it cost him his life. He, too, cursed his father for being a coward.

Merlwyb Though it's useless to dwell on the past, I often wonder if I could have--and should have--done more for you and Raubahn that day. Merlwyb Leaving the banquet was tantamount to leaving you and yours for dead. Should you think me craven, I wouldn't hold it against you. Merlwyb But I will make it up to you, this I swear. Come what may, know that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn can count on our cooperation.
