Their choice does not alter the game's story but slight adjustments to the script may occur. Both characters are known as Sanzang for the rest of the game with both different names in the Asian script having the same onyomi rendering. The original Japanese script has the game first call the protagonist, Chen Xuanzang (陳玄奘, onyomi: Chin Genjō, male) or Chen Xuan'niang (陳玄娘, onyomi: Chin Genjō, female).

In Saiyuki: Journey West, the player can choose between a male or female Sanzang. Her character's name now reflects the pinyin spelling of her name as Tripitaka in some forms of media. The previous style of English localization called her 'San Zang' during her debut. The monk's Warriors Orochi counterpart is known as a woman who is called Sanzang in English and the full title of Sanzang Fashi (三蔵法師, onyomi: Sanzō Hōshi) in Japanese. Due to the vague nature of Sanzang's gender within the original Japanese rendition of the story, it's not uncommon for a female Sanzang to appear in Japanese created media. His adventures were romanticized in one of the Four Classics of Chinese Literature, Journey to the West. He is best known for traveling to India and influencing the acceptance of Buddhism into China. Xuanzang Sanzang (onyomi: Genjō Sanzō) is one of the honorific titles given to a monk known as Chen Hui. Also known commonly as Táng Sānzàng (唐三蔵) in several depictions in media.
