This doesn't come as a surprise. Freedom Wars Remastered, also published by Bandai Namco, injected the Body Type A/B into its characters creator while the original version was male or female.

The implementation in this game however, it's so obvious how it's all performative. The two protagonist models aren't presets to a character creator. They were both introduced by official accounts and Japanese magazines as Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki. Both of them are playable-one is controlled by the player and the other one serve as remote operative support role. To call either them of them as Type A and Type B is so disingenuous. They didn't hire artist Suzuhito Yasuda and instruct him to design a Type A and Type B characters, they told him to design a male and female. These are role play characters with set designs, not customizable self-insert.

It's all so tiresome. Until the demo is released shortly, I still can't confirm if the text came from the English localizer or it was mandated at the source by Bandai Namco's DEl/ethics department but I doubt the developers themselves have any say to this. All of the female character designs are beautiful, sexy and attractive. Best case scenario, they could have just used their names, but no let's call them Type A and Type B to virtue signal for some of those sweet ESG points.
