>>47627879If anything, him making the decision/having the quirk of not wanting to talk gives him more character than simply being unable to(aside from the fact the main games themselves already had him talk). I don't like Red being mute in-universe, but what Masters did was basically the best they could given the material they had.
Ultimately, I partially agree with
>>47629323 If you want the MCs to be characters, either go the entire way(which Masters doesn't but, to be fair, they're probably not allowed to) or don't use them as NPCs at all. And it'd be nice if they were all treated the same.
>>47629117IIRC that was a translation thing.
Also an NPC in StAnne in Red/Blue outright states Red isn't talking much.
