>>717172156No it isn’t. Not in the West and most of the world, kemonomimi is rare outside of anime and gacha games. Most media with animal people don’t feature those characters.
Recent games that feature designs outside of having ears and tails that I’ve played:
Eiyuden Chronicles (There’s a variety of animal people including shark people, but the fox and wolf people have fur, animal heads, tails and digitigrade legs)
Dragon Dogma 2 (Beastren are a bit off as they have snouts and fur but no tails and their ears are to the side and elf-like)
Baldur Gate 3 (Dragonborn lack tails, but you can add them, have scales and dragon-like heads)
Chained Echoes (bird people with feathers and beaks plus lizard people)
Suikoden remaster (kobolds who look like dog people with dog heads, tails and fur)
Fuga 2 (Dog and Cat people with fur, ears, tails and snouts)
Octopath Traveler 2 (People with animal ears, claws, tails and snouts)
Visions of Mana (Cat-like people with ears, tails, claws and snouts, can’t tell if they’re meant to have fur)
Metaphor (short bat-like people)
FF7 rebirth (Cait Sith)
FF14 (introduced the female hrothgar who are cat-like people with fur, tails, claws and snouts)
Unicorn Overlord (The Beastrels)
Pokemon SV (Too many to list)
The new DK game with apes
There’s probably a lot more recent games I missed out.
Meanwhile the only games that I can remember that feature kemonomimi characters are
Metaphor (The little bat man hates them lmao)
Visions of Mana (This one isn’t technically a kemonomimi since the character lacks animal ears but has a tail so I’ll count it)
And someone mentioned Runefactory.
If you actually look outside of anime kemonomimi characters are a lot more rare than non-kemonomimi characters when it comes to animal people.
