Will we see the Pacific Theater in BFV? And how will customization of the Japanese soldiers work? Its not like we can have black people running around in Imperial Japanese Uniforms on Iwo Jima Knowing how EA operates these days I wouldn’t be surprised. But seriously, will we only have options to be asian looking skins, or can we run around lookin’ like we are straight outa Compton?

Pacific Theater coming in September and I imagine we will be able to fully customise Japanese and American soldiers just like we have the toy soldiers for British and Germans.
EA is like
“Yea sure”
Prepare for black Asian chicks banzai charging you with their pink facepaint.
Inclusive.
OMG again with the race stuff. Germans are all whites in BF V, although historically they actually had some non-white units here and there. I wouldn’t worry about the Japanese. Don’t worry about your immersion (what major difference would the eventuality a black japanese make in a world of assault rifles and tiger tanks spam in 1940, I wouldn’t know).
Japanese had Indian troops.
But Pacific theatre is not confirmed yet. Is it?
September might be Russia…
Its pretty much confirmed. That blurred chapter 5 imagine is concept art for the USA released a while ago.
You gotta be kidding me?! Almost a year for getting new maps and REAL content (cuz for me Firestorm is NOT a content which i’ll touch) for the game? OMG what is wrong with EA???
I want to be a bush with a gun when I am Japanese that would be historically accurate but bad for visability.
Hope there will be some way to climb trees when dressed as said bush 
They had black jungle uniforms that would be covered in local foliage for night attacks in the elite Jungle fighting units.
Japanese were hard core.
I bet we get those cool cammo helmet covers the marines wore.
Im very doubt with that. Do you learned nothing in these months about DICE?
Man if it’s a pacific sellout I’m not happy.
Need Russians.
I think they will have Japanese characters only for the Japanese faction which will likely come later this year along with the Americans in Chapter 5, ‘Awakening the Beast’ or something similar. I wonder if they’ll have a renamed V-1 rocket called Kamikaze Pilot or something? I’m not being funny, they actually could do that.
Siam Cavalry, Burma Nationalist, Indian Nationalist, Korean units and even some Paupan and others acted scouts.
So it is possible to added non Japanese to the IJA. However DICE caved into the white only German army ignoring the other units that had Arab, Indian, North African and others that wore German uniforms.
Well what about Michael and Lèo fighting for allies ?
There’s a cool Korean film about two Koreands who fought for the Germans at D-Day. Think they were forced to work by the Japanese, captured by the Russians and ended up on the eastern front, than captured again.
It’s called My Way.
But don’t tell Dice, lol.
" Here and there " out of 18 Million soldiers is almost nonexistent. And these " non white " units in the former german sense were the muslim " Handschar Division " from today Bosnien Herzegowina and the " Legion Free Arabia ".
Pretty sure fighting on beaches means Pacific theater. No beaches in Russia.
Come on 4,500 Indian Free Legion or the up to 1 million Caucus or Turkic units.
Those are specific under German command, there was millions of mixed troops that fought for Vichy France.
Lol @ people trying to use the “too few argument” to justify excluding certain races from character customization.
