    The reason there's no mention of her appearance in game or anything like that, is because it never, ever was intended to be about that.

    Hopefully there is a PC release, I think this looks great. Awesome for a Korean made game to get this attention so shoutout to the devs.
    Also worth noting when some journos got weird about about the protag, I thought to myself "She looks like a (normal yet attractive ) Korean woman" and go figure they modeled her after one lol. Plus they walk a good line it seems for fan service, pushing a badass woman lead, and not going overboard where her chest shakes halfway across the screen every scene change. Its hard cuz games where theres zero body liquidity also make females look super weird, especially in more modern graphics engines/otherwise realistic depictions. Like their body is made of stone or they have weird shaped pecs lmao.
    Anyway, great vid and shout out to Shift Up.

    How women look in video games seems to be a touchy subject at the moment. I can see the argument for both sides. I see why some people are really rallying behind having less conventionally attractive or "realistic" characters in their media. Personally, as a woman, I don't see the benefit of self-inserting *all* of the time, and there's no need to erase attractive-looking characters just to make us normies feel better. Sometimes I want to play a video game as a beautiful, 9ft tall leggy supermodel with huge bazongas.
    There are some really amazing female character designs that can also be sexy. Look at Bayonetta. She is absolutely badass. I did genuinely buy a lot of games purely based on how the character looked back in the day, including Bullet Witch and Bloodrayne. Or chose my favourite fighters like Ivy from Soul Calibur and Sindel from Mortal Kombat

Plus while they have fan service it isnt weird over the top like some games imo. As soon as I saw a couple other nameless journos complaining about her design i thought "She looks like a normal yet attractive South Korea woman" and turns out lol. Idk i think its positive to have the representation both of Korea and women, shes a bad ass and they didnt make her chest bounce across half the screen every scene change which is a plus lol. (Tho games theyve tried to remove any body liquidity altogether also look super weird with females too)
