Maybe it can. Maybe the Animus is some all special machine that can translate and homogenize languages to a more comfortable one for their theoretical users.

With this "period drama = English" reasoning however, it makes the point that Ubisoft do not take their fans into consideration over money, given that foreign accents for their characters are actually interesting, and give a better credence to the series as one that allows for the historical and cultural exploration of humanity's major events.

And it makes me laugh that they claim they're so "diverse" and hide behind Aveline and their female side characters as their evidence over the women in co-op debacle, but they fail to consider the current ratio of having 1 female ancestor against 12 main male ancestors in their other projects, excluding the modern day.

Aveline vs. Altair, Ezio, Connor, Haytham, Edward, Adewale, Alonzo, Nikolai, Arbaaz, Aquilus, Accipiter and now Arno. Tell me how that's honestly diverse.
