Okay, maybe I'm completely wrong about this, and if I am I apologize profusely, but she doesn't look Asian at all in the games? None of the characters do, in my opinion.

So what's the dice?

[(Anonymous)]

don't know the game, but a Japanese person's perception of what makes someone look "more Japanese" can be pretty different from a foreigner's.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

I like that video, because at the core it's mainly true, but the thesis of his argument is somewhat damaged by the fact that many of the examples of Japanese people he's chosen have done this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SMPB3X5Osc&feature=related), however, and the pictures of many of the "squinty-eyed" white people are just that: white people staring into lights and squinting. Also comparing 2/3 to 3/4 profiles, lawl.

[(Anonymous)]

No I agree, the views were definitely off and made me weary of his "analysis".

[ketita.livejournal.com]

I gotta agree. I do definitely see many elements of anime design being very clearly influenced by Japanese features, but there are some fallacies keeping that vid from being ~gospel~.
For example, living in Korea I get loads of comments on how big my eyes are /is very obviously Western.

[relmneiko.livejournal.com]

ikr. I got the same comments about my eyes in Japan and I never knew how to reply. I feel like every single beauty compliment I got boiled down to racial traits and it was incredibly uncomfortable.

And compare Japanese traditional art to modern stuff and you can see how much beauty standards have changed. Small eyes were attractive before western influence was strong. (http://www.japanese-paintings.com/bijin_scrolls_web/images/japanese_ukiyo_e_bijin_scroll__23.jpg)

[ketita.livejournal.com]

Well, I also get comments on my quite-curly hair, which isn't necessarily totally a racial trait; not all Westerners have curly hair, or as curly hair as mine (people keep thinking it's a perm, lol). But yeah, I know what you mean.

I think it's important to remember that there are a LOT of influences going back and forth nowadays.

[damnated.livejournal.com]

That was a very interesting and eye opening video, thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, I thought Ashe, Vaan and Penelo had very Japanese features (aside from their hair colour).

[damnated.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm just terrible at recognizing those features then, because I definitely didn't think of them as such.

But I was wrong, as someone pointed out above.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say she looks Asian perse. But she definitely looks more Asian than the original design. IIRC the original design was very European.
