Imagine not having at least shoulder-length hair as a man. Do you even get any attention from women?

Why do Japan like their men to be so affeminate? It is a cultural thing? Maybe it’s easier to self insert, like i can’t see then sef inserting as someone muscular like kenshiro from hokyto no ken

Very muscular men are often seen as homosexuals to them

They should've made them shorter to make a better trap.

Why do Americans like all their male characters with personalities as blocky and rectangular as their bodies?

They aren't, but go off, troon

Ok, now we're talking, hopefully it will be good

Bro, JRPG protagonists have looked like fags for 20 years or so. What the fuck went wrong with you? Did you just escape the lab where scientists thawed you out of a block of ice?

They look like this now.

They want cute designs that will make people draw fanart and doujin, but at the same time they have to have a male MC otherwise otakus boycott the game.
The answer: make the male MC this cute pixiv fanart bait. Problem solved.

He's the exception that proves the rule.

Ehh the only part of the design I question is the shorts with the slight gap before it hits the thigh-high armor(?). How old is the MC supposed to be anyway? Low teens?

I wanna look like that...

who's the third one?

Harry is not a role model, he's a paranoid schizophrenic who only manages to succeed as a detective because the world he inhabits is nearly as crazy as he is.

I see Ramza

what about Clive in 16?

left to right it's:
Nahobido (SMT5)
Cloud (FF7)
Raiden (back when he was a shitty human in MGS2 instead of a cool cyborg)

Game is complete shit and generic, why do you think the character design would be not some shit generic thing too?

MGS2 Raiden
