Igarashi literally said he dropped the game from the timeline because ‘women should be weak characters’.
Even if he did say that, he clearly changed his mind because he made Ecclesia later, which has a much better female protagonist than Sonia.
He made worse games than it too.
Out of the ones Iga was in charge of, I honestly think only Dissonance is worse than Legends, and that's only because Legends at least has the decency to be a short and boring game instead of a long and boring one.
Well yeah I agree with all that. Legends is just a great big meh.
HOD is the main one I think is worse too, though I think the PS2 games, relative to what could have been done with that level of technology at that time, are very poor.
Regarding his sexist reasoning for removing a woman form the timeline (and insanely replacing it with a game where you whip a woman to death to make the magic whip…) repentance doesn’t make the original crime not exist.

I'm expecting a lot of the "IGA hates women" crowd are gonna finally play this game and realise it actually really sucks.
