https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_W9K42GcSM... Why did they change Hector's backstory?! D:<
What, talking to animals isn't cool or something?! It is too! It's REALLY COOL! ;_;
Edit: On a more serious note, I'll repost this thing I wrote elsewhere on the subject of Isaac's design change:
"I’m not bothered by the change per se, but… wouldn’t that mean Julia is black, too, unless they were siblings by adoption and not by blood? And I guess Rosaly would have to be black as well because she is supposed to look like Julia? This seems like a bit of an odd choice to me, just because it would change multiple characters. Why didn’t they just make a new character who happens to be black instead of changing the race of a pre-existing character? And Isaac, of all characters, the axe-crazy flamboyant villain who kisses you as he stabs you? … This is gonna get some backlash, I expect…
I suddenly realized that by making Isaac black, one could make an argument that the story of CoD is racially charged in multiple respects, considering what happens to Rosaly and then how Isaac appears to be more susceptible to certain influences than Hector… of course, Rosaly and Julia might not be included in the story at all, but that seems like a wasted opportunity to me..."
