While Japanese gamers enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, why is it that they found the cast unattractive? Some commented that Jin looks like an old man and "looks like he smells" while Famitsu said that the female characters are ugly.
While Japanese gamers enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, why is it that they found the cast unattractive...
Luke Reyes
Nicholas Foster
that looks like a terrible translation
Anthony Campbell
People like attractive power fantasies, who'd fucking guess.
Lincoln Ward
That guy in the image looks too masculine. Current Japan prefers guys that look like they're from a boy band.
Dominic Cruz
They want all the vidya men and women to look like Jomon Chads, all the characters in ghosts of Tsushima look like Yayois
William Rivera
I think in the case of Jin, it's more of a cultural difference. Japan loves men like this and they're not obsessed with masculinity.
Brandon Brown
>power fantasies
But japanese protagonists are mostly effeminate faggots at this point
You'd need to specifically look for shit like Yakuza or Hokuto no Ken to find an actual power fantasy

>why is it that they found the cast unattractive?
Because the cast is unattractive, what a retarded question.
Western cucks aren't allowed to make attractive characters in video games.
Luis Garcia
>Japanese game with Japanese cast
>Cast Filipino-Thai actress as face actor
Literately why? All Asians don't look the same.
Luke Walker
>italian eye
Italian here, it's rare but I swear some of us literally have chink-tier eyes and we can't rationally explain it
We just assume it's half-asian niggas until we ask, but it's always 100% italians going back to fucking generations
Carter Jenkins
Jin IS pretty mediocre in terms of looks. You can design a male to be masculine and also attractive at the same time, those two aren't mutually exclusive. Suckerpunch just didn't.
Carson Allen
They consider Jin a "brave face" because thats what their cultural norms are. But it turns out more people love the "Brave Face" more than what they are fed everyday.
Hudson Reyes
Those effeminate men are considered attractive, and jrpg characters while looking like androgynous ken dolls are all able to cut demons in half with the head of their dicks.
Caleb Flores
It is probably a very ancient eye, before Eurasians became separate races
Adam Cox
It's pretty hilarious that the Japanese don't realise just how fugly they are as a nation.
Aaron Ross
Even another Japanese dev said the same.
Nathaniel Torres
>market research wouldn't let them make ugly characters
It's amazing how things are the opposite in the West.
Juan Jackson
They look the same to me
Landon Sullivan
Japan is a horrific country without makeup.
Jacob Brown
Pretty sure that's a Chinese girl.
Besides, there's plenty of ugly women without makeup in the west too. Just like there's plenty of cute girls in Japan without makeup.
Lincoln Rivera
>market research
Modern Japan has shit taste. No one cares.
Nicholas Reyes
I assume cause they are all fucked from the war and shit, norio looks the better outta the main cast dirt wise
Oliver Barnes
Because Japs are so used to having twink fuckboys forced on them in everything by soulless corporate marketing, that anything less than that is considered "ugly".
Noah Allen
People in general, eh.
Attractiveness is mainly a women's concern/power fantasy. Case in point, the Horde situation in the old days World of Warcraft.
Meanwhile, most men don't give a shit if the protagonist even has a face. Look at how big Master Chief got.
Luke Myers
Wonder if contemporary Japan considers Toshiro Mifune (the chaddest Japanese ever born on this earth) as attractive
Aiden Rodriguez
Where's that beard in the game, jin got a stuble at best
Josiah Wood
japs want their men to look like women and their women to look like anime characters
Jaxon Diaz
maybe in america: masterchief is a literally who in the rest of the world, and the lack of a face probably helps
John Nelson
>the Horde situation in the old days World of Warcraft
Holy shit, please elaborate
Give me a link or something my man
Anthony Foster
I don't think they find people like that straight out ugly, it's just that most won't view that as the ideal attractiveness. Kind of like how westerners shun baby-faced guys/masculine women.
Easton Murphy
Well, Japs like their fuckboi protagonists so that is no surprise. The women in the game were mostly pretty ugly. Except for Tomoe and Armorsmith-chan.
Mason Reed
James Sanchez
>like anime characters
more like 10 year old european girls
Aaron Sanchez
it's a translation thing for "not conventionally pretty" according to modern standards. Not that he's ugly.
Matthew Gonzalez
>"looks like he smells"
Would someone from that time period smell nice by modern standards?
Ryder Cox
Middle guy looks okay but the other two look like gigafaggots.
Hunter Jenkins
i think Jin is quite handsome, but what do i know? i only see men as rivals anyways. Yuna is /cute/ af though.
Nolan Sanders
Left is hair goals for me.
Austin Hughes
fuck, flips are so fucking beautiful. guess that's what south european admixture does to you.
Sebastian Walker
The only reason Nips like the game because it paints them as superheroes.
Cooper White
>westerners shun baby-faced guys/masculine women.
Maybe because "baby-faced guys" and "masculine women" are twisted by definition
Effeminate girls and masculine guys are coherent at least
Aaron Richardson
And?
Camden Long
It's different than eastern eyes though, they are more 'open'
Asher Wright
don't forget muslimchad admixture, there's a reason why they need to cover their women in burkhas.
Justin Myers
Jin has a case of fish lips and a thousand yard stare. It's like he's never actually looking at anyone directly. Kind of funny.
Jaxson Perry
Japan has different taste from western people

Left is alright
He was also L's successor in the Death Note sequel
