This is why the Karen Fukuhara mod would be perfect. She could look realistic, but still attractive (to say nothing for the character or behavior of the model/actress vs the one that is in GoY). Jin was not a bishounen and that was fine, but like the old samurai movies he was relatively 'ruggedly handsome' as protags of the era went. Even a lot of old Westerns had guys like Clint Eastwood who were not the dreamiest dreamboats in all of hollywood, but had a reasonably rough handsomeness (compared to the more intentionally ugly bad guys of the time) with the charisma to pull it off.
A lot of the problems with GoY's main character has to do with A) /v/'s knowledge of the actress who played her and the fact that she seems to have active contempt s B) the script seems like a worse version of AC Shadows with Naoe, lacking the depth or innovations of GoT and with C) Onryo Scream seems completely unearned in contrast to how Jin become the Ghost, which just makes things look girlbossy. Likewise some of the endings with GAY GAY GAY ADOPTING A SPUNKY GIRL TOGETHER GAY GAY GAY DID WE MENTION ATSU IS GAY feels like it was heavily invested from the actress' input.
The underlying beauty of the world itself, the setting etc.. feels solid as it did in Tsushima, and with the exception of Atsu having more conventional Shogunate-era Japanese cultural presence instead of Ainu (she plays a shamisen not the Ainu instrument pictured, and outside of I think one unlockable some anon said she doesn't have any garments with the pattern. Apparently she meets a character that has the distinctive lip tattoos but doesn't even have the small dot herself. We've yet to see the Legends mode at launch so I really hope to fuck they bring a lot of traditional kamui stuff from Ainu legends etc), its just some of the other stuff about the main character and her story that seem to really undermine things vs Tsushima.
