I remember when Black Rock Shooter was still huge all of the sudden a bunch of girls had one flaming eye. Or when Key gave some of its lead girls some kind of vocal tic like 'uguu' or 'auuu' and so it became a Thing for a bunch of VNs afterwards. I think the worst case I ever saw was a game where the girl's vocal tic was saying 'pya' randomly. Japan is the master race for running poo poo into the ground.

Looper posted:unfortunately men with eye problems aren't as fetishized Meganebu! The plot focuses on Akira Souma, a glasses fanatic at the rural Himaraya Third Technical School. Akira's great love for glasses causes him to form the "Glasses Club" at his school and he somewhat forces his classmates and glasses wearers Takuma Hachimine, Yukiya Minabe, Mitsuki Kamatani, and Hayato Kimata to join. The series follows the activities of the Glasses Club and the antics resulting from their shared passion for eyewear.

But yeah he's the only black character I can think of off the top of my head. It IS Boston after all... mycot posted:I think the progenitor in this case is Rei Ayanami from when she wears a medical eyepatch for like one scene. I'd believe this. Medical eye patches are common enough in Japanese games as a cosmetic thing that after going "what, why, who would put this on their character?", I remember that it's in a bunch of other games and move on.

Endorph posted:the water monsters are pretty alright. i like their mid-range attack. their big problem is they're very inaccurate, though. In my view if you're not fielding that room that lets you move immediately after summoning with as many pyromancers as you can fit in it you're needlessly making the game harder for yourself. Terror Blaze (and the dragon sage equivalent) does bullshit-level damage in an area (on the map), from a long range, with no enemy retaliation. It's a shame that a lot of players don't use it because the game doesn't give you a named pyromage unit.

Ivo is the most generic character in the history of generic characters ever. Devil's Third has a bad main character.

If he did anything but grunt and say one liners that were cliche back in the 90's, maybe. He is incredibly bland for Ninja Gaiden With Guns. Also for some reason, bats are randomly in areas of the game that make you go near-death.

I lived in Japan for several years and have been married to a Japanese woman now for eight years, doesn't mean I should go around calling Japanese people 'the master race' for something IMO. Maybe I'm being oversensitive, I dunno. And I kinda see your point but I also don't see how that's much different from so many AAA protagonists being grizzled brown-haired white dudes with extremely similar facial features? It's still lovely, identikit character design either way. The whole industry is bereft of creativity in general, is what I'm saying Motto posted:I don't disagree, but there were at least six japanese games in there. That's true, should've said 'AAA game industry' I suppose. But that space is largely dominated by Western devs so it still works I think.

The only other context I've heard 'master race' used in in the last decade is 'PC master race' so it's lost any other meaning to me.

I figured I was just overreacting but I couldn't help feeling a bit miffed over it. I remember when I was actually in Japan I read a good interview by some anime producer or character designer, and he was lamenting how the trend at the time was that every anime had to have a very similar set of character designs/personality types in it. He called it something like 'database design' and talked about why he thought things had gone that way. It was interesting and I'm really pissed off I can't find it now! If I can find it I'll post it, maybe it's interesting.
