Cygames just retconned Fine Motion to no longer being an Irish princess. They even rerecorded the affected voice lines in multiple character scenarios.

She's now a descendant of royalty from some unnamed country instead, with Ireland being her family's new homeland. Her dad is now a senior government official instead of being the king.

Welp, guess the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland and later The Troubles have been retconned back into existence.

(I guess someone from their translation team must have raised the issue about the full ramifications of Ireland being an independent monarchy with its own royal family instead of a republic like in our world... though it's still kinda disappointing.)

Damn, so that's whats going on. Disappointing, oh well, she'll always be a princess in our hearts.

My chosen headcanon that I will cling to now is that she was a princess but the monarchy was dissolved at some point while she's in Japan. Probably some fun fanwork ideas to be had there too.

Is a shame man. Twitter out there wilding now they're reasonably scared her image would be used for nefarious acts by some local Irish groups.
