Faith From Mirror's Edge Fan-Designed For Asian Tastes

Brian Ashcroft of Kotaku writes:

"The game is designed by Swedish dev D.I.C.E., and naturally, the character exotic looks certainly look skewed towards Western tastes.
...
The language will be localized in Japanese, but not the character design. As reader Torokun points out: "There is always a huge complain from Asian gamers whenever Western developers design Asian female characters..." As Torokun continues, this is mainly because many Westerners' definition of what is considered as "Asian" beauty is very different from what Asians consider beautiful." Hit the jump for a fan-created "doctoring" of Faith if she was created specifically for the East and not the West."

Considering it was made by an Asian I assume they know what they're doing.

2 - It's simple...

... when westerners think of traditional asian beauties, they think of dark hair and slanted secretive eyes.

When asians think of 'beauty', they think of a little more western look, so a bit bigger and rounder eyes, and a little bigger nose (hence all the eye-ops and nose(-bridge) enhancements going on.
Also, they seem to go more for that rounder smoother manga-look, which looks very good in the pic above. Perfect, light skin, instead of in the west, where we like our exotic women to be 'tanned'.

Personally, I like both. it really depends on the woman, if bigger or smaller eyes suit her better. I love Kara Hui's 'phoenix eyes', but I also love Anita Yuen's or Song Hye Gyo's rounder eyes.

I have to say the 'manga' version of Faith looks really really good, but I also alread liked the original version, so TBH I dont care either way which version we will get (not that they are going to change the design anyway, but still....)

My wife is Japanese and is attractive to me, but she says that she's not attractive in her country. Her best friend is considered attractive in Japan and I find her to be horrendous. Very weird.

Yes, this is what we Asian gamers want! We like Zheng ZiYi, not Lucy Liu.
