Is Yuji Hori a pandering asshole or did the English translators of Dragon Quest XI take enormous liberties with everything involving Sylvando? Like, get this grotesque cliche and his minions the fuck outta my JRPG, please.
DUDE WHY?

yes.
Jacob Morris
Quick rundown? Or link?
Chase Sanchez
He was like that in the JP version. His name was Slyvia and even used female pronouns.
Robert Baker
flamboyant gay characters are a staple of JRPGs user
You're just a /pol/fag looking for something to complain about.
Even if you mute the audio and never read his dialogue you can tell he was always intended as a gay character based on his mannerisms and entire movelist.
But i guess slapping your teammates like a twink seemed manly to you? Idk
Ryan Jackson
He's the standard flaming faggot joke character
Lincoln Lopez
Well, fuck. Was it played for laughs or was it the constant "BOY, LIFE SURE WAS DRAB UNTIL THE GAY BOY PARADE CAME TO TOWN" political needling of the English version?
Isaac Carter
There's no evidence that he is sexually attracted to males and only males.
He's certainly flamboyant, though.
Asher Johnson
japan loves flamboyant gay guys.
Hudson Gutierrez
Every kind of faggotry is treated as either a joke or a phase in Nipland.

>flamboyant gay characters are a staple of JRPGs
I think you're projecting.
>he was always intended as a gay character
Yes, but context matters and I have to assume that the English translation involved much more validation of/fawning over the character from NPCs, etc.
Jaxon Cox
The quick rundown is that he called himself Sylvia, not Sylvando, in Japanese. That's it.
Bisexual/flamboyant people existing isn't pandering, you whiny bitch. Sylvando is one of the best party members and if you can't deal with that just because he likes dick as well as pussy that's on you.
Grayson Gomez
Maybe in the same way that Midwestern moms loved the gay guy from Bewitched in the 1970s...
Robert Williams
Not even slightly. He's literally based on a combination of old notions of chivalry, jesters, and old Japanese archetypes.
He's a showman. The ladies love him because he's confident and kind and sexy and skilled. The men want to be him. He makes a fool of himself to support the people around him and he makes a scene to lift people's spirits. That's the entire fucking point. He lives his life to support people. That's why he's *THE SUPPORT PARTY MEMBER*.
The only thing inaccurate about the DQXI translation is the gimmicks (which fuck with certain dialogue like the haiku town), a few extremely minor party chat changes, and the name changes. The intent is 100% accurate.
Ryan Martinez
No, he actually he sucks and I have to assume that gay people who aren't completely degenerated retards find him repugnant.
Isaac Powell
He wants to build a theater. He loves dressing up, speaks as a woman and you should probably stop trying to read into it so much. Sylvando is more of a quirky character than anything "agenda" driven. The English dub changed a lot of dialogue to give character's colorful accents, but the same message is mostly being conveyed otherwise.
Evan Rogers
>He sucks because I say so.
You didn't even finish Act 2, did you? Sylvando is a lot more than just "lol gay."
Luke Cook
imagine being this bad at dq11 holy shit lmao
Cooper Hughes
lol he is even gayer in japanese
Liam Miller
>That's why he's *THE SUPPORT PARTY MEMBER*
Very cool, user. Very deep. Was your favorite part the homosexual mardi gras parade? Or maybe when they recycled the homosexual mardi gras parade and made you do it a second time?
Liam Williams
Japan sees flamboyantly gay characters are comedic relief an a joke.
Dylan Campbell
based
Logan Diaz
>Was your favorite part the homosexual mardi gras parade?
Nah, it was probably the stealth section when Jasper kidnaps Erik, of all things.
>Or maybe when they recycled the homosexual mardi gras parade and made you do it a second time?
That was pretty good, yeah.
Owen Roberts
I platinum'd the game, amigo. And please tell me you're not so hungry for representation that you were moved by the wayward son trope.
Jack Martinez
OP is a way bigger faggot than Sylvando will ever be.
Caleb Thompson
Who gives a fuck about representation? I give a fuck that Sylvando was entertaining and his chemistry with the cast was on point the whole way through. Damn good performance by the VA too, I was surprised.
Gabriel Brooks
nice.
Logan Young
I played without voices and the music turned down to 2.
Kayden Brooks
Literally impossible.
Parker Sanchez
I'd understand muting on the overworld after hour 80, but the rest I can't really abide by.
Andrew Reed
>Flamboyant dude is actually a massive bro and a chill dude
Take fucking notes western game devs, the fucking nippons write better characters than your generic stereotype trash
Gabriel Lewis
I found it funny how people in town were scared of the troupe's almost aggressive cheerfulness.
It's also funny how that innocuous part somehow offends extreme prudes like you
Robert Reed
>Think Dave is a gay joke.
>Random book explains he's actually a gigachad.
Fuck.
There are western games that have done this, the problem is it's more profitable to make your gays a statement instead of people.
Tyler Wright
And then they say sjws see politics in everything.
Jaxson Kelly
Better yet, don't shoehorn gay characters into video games at all!
Levi Diaz
>THE WORLD IS ENDING WHAT DO YOU WANT
>*dances vigorously*
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA PLEASE DON'T KILL ME
Joshua Lee
>Shoehorn
The fact that Sylvando is gay shows up exactly nowhere except him saying the hero and Erik are kinda hot in some minor dialogue. Everything else is just him being a clown.
Caleb Sanchez
He's more alpha than 85% of Yea Forums
Josiah Lopez
>prudes
I very sincerely hope your kids don't end up as party favors for Netflix executives because you're a chill centrist who thinks gay pride is totally fucking rad.
Jason Torres
OP is like a parody of those people that has to prove their super masculine heteresexuality constantly, even to the point where he goes to an anonymous image board to do it.
We all know you're a big sissy at heart.
Nicholas King
I don't know what most of that sentence means, but I don't live in USA so I will most likely avoid any Netflix executive related problems
Noah Adams
Oh, user...
