A remake of the 1988 JRPG Dragon Quest III released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC in November 2024. In the months leading up to its release, the game became controversial for its censorship of the late Akira Toriyama's character designs and the removal of gendered terms when referring to the protagonist. The controversy reached its peak when a viral interview with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Hori revealed that the changes were made solely to comply with Western regulations, coupled with developer and publisher Square Enix's attempts to scrub the video from the Internet. Upon release, the game sold moderately well but was poorly received by many fans of the series due to the aforementioned changes.
Everyone who was involved in censoring Mr. Toriyama's work for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake needs to apologize at his grave.

ANOTHER ONE!? They're... They're doing all of them...
Hym "Wait... That's not Front Mission 2... Which one is based in Japan? I had an emulator on my phone and I had what I THOUGHT was Front Mission 2 and it had a blue haired Japanese protagonist... Was that 3? But this Front Mission 2: Remake is 27.99 in the Playstation store. I'm bout to buy this shit. Keep doing it. That shit is fire. You will probably get my money on that one every time. 3, 4, it don't matter I'll keep emptying my wallet for it. Now that I think about it... There hasn't been a good Mecha anime in a while... They should make a mecha anime! Use this!"

Recycling, but for the entertainment industry. A stupid, cheap, lazy way to make money. Simply take something that already exists from years ago... and resell it! Do the bare minimum to modernize it, like change a few words in the script and adjust it for modern-day sensibilities, and then sit back and let the money roll in. Somehow, this works.
"Disney's on a roll lately with their live action remakes!"
"Yeah, it takes an extreme level of talent to throw darts at a board of their existing properties, instead of actually... you know, thinking of something new."

When white people define a movie with an all black cast, which has a plot similar to a movie with an all white cast.
The 2016 movie “When The Bough Breaks” was the urban remake to the 1992 classic “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.”
