[#AiNi Trivia] I said before that I would not mention any character's gender identity, but there is one exception. About Marco. Actually Marco is not a male. Not even female. They are non-binary. #ainispoilers

In JP version, any pronouns are not used in the lines regarding Marco. But in English, I knew it's difficult to construct natural sentences without using pronouns, so we consulted with the localization staff and decided to use "he/his". #ainispoilers

Because we thought you might be confused if "they" or "ze" suddenly appeared in the dialogue. The fact that both "Marco" and "Maruko" are used in the game also shows the confusion of the localization staff... #ainispoilers

Maybe I made a mistake in using the word "confuse". Now suppose your mind is filled with many thoughts about the truth of the case. And in that state, if any other important piece of information (unrelated to the case) jumps into your head... #ainispoilers

it will be a mix of both and messed up, right? That's what I meant by "confused". It doesn't mean like "confused by misunderstanding the meaning of they/ze." #ainispoilers
