"Their 'spirit' (精霊) is unspecified in addition to their genders, and are 'free from gender' entirely."

While the main point (that they're androgynous and potentially nonbinary) is the same, this is a really mangled reading of this tweet. A more accurate translation:

"Their official backstory is that they're not even human, so...if they're from the world of spirits, what would that make them? When we asked the person in charge, they themselves didn't really have much beyond 'the value of not giving them an official gender'."

By "spirit" the tweet is literally referring to them being 精霊 as in being spiritual beings or ghosts, and it's not saying they're "free from gender", it's "they're not human so they may not ascribe to the gender binary in the first place, and we think it's important to not make an official statement about it."
