Video-game Misconceptions

[Poke Dragon]

Just what it says in the title, you can post any misconception about any video-game that people still believe. I'll start, there is a misconception about Splatoon (a stubborn one at that) that says all the playable Agents have canon genders. That is not true at all, a game about customization is one of the many things that disprove that. Another thing that disproves it is how the developers themselves stated that Splatoon is supposed to be revolved around the player, AKA, having their character be the canon rather than what official artwork implies. This is backed up by the fact that none of the playable Agents were ever referred to as he or she, always as they. Octo Expansion is what proves my point even further as you're able to choose Agent 3's gender, skin tone, and eye color despite them being an NPC this time around and not a player character.

In conclusion, the canonical genders of the Agents really are what the players decide because that's how the developers intended. It doesn't matter how many pieces of official artwork there are depicting a specific appearance of them, that doesn't automatically make that specific appearance canonical.

That all Final Fantasy protagonists after VII are emo, even though only Squall and flanderized Cloud would count for that. Heck, Zidane, Tidus and Vaan were the opposite of that stereotype even!

That Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 are remakes. I can say with 100% certainty that they are not remakes, they are straight-up sequels. Not just because of the titles but also the fact that the story literately tells the player that these games take place 2 years after Black and White. Not only that, but many story elements clearly show that these games are sequels and not remakes.
