I am WAY happier with this than a gameplay demo. Especially since I spend so much time tweaking my characters. It’ll be nice jumping right into the game without spending 2 hours perfecting my character first.
Same here! Spent four hours on my arisen and a couple more on my pawn 😅 gonna be glad to have a finished product that I’m satisfied with by the time the game launches!
@@Carsu12 Console is the most straightforward platform to work with, there arent hundreds of combinations to deal with unlike PC. If they cant get performance under control on 2 static platforms like PS5/Xbone then theres a problem.
Really my main gripe about it is that there isn't currently any way to make more unnatural colors for hair, let me bring my anime hair into the game dammit (Though this could change depending on if they do DLC/unlockable hair colors like they did for Dark Arisen) EDIT: So far haven't seen any new hairstyles, but you CAN buy dye at a merchant in Battahl for 200 RC each. Yay bright red hair is real!
I feel like there are a lot more variety to the hair styles than a lot of other games, like the long boaters side looking one, but they’re missing some very basic ones too.
@@Jynogre I think there could definitely be more choices, but I'm glad that most of them actually look good compared to like 80% of the hair/beards from DD1
Took me five hours over the course of 3 days but I finally finished my two characters 😂 thank God for this demo cause now I can start the game immediately.
Already spent 10 hrs on the creator... Main pawn done, main char almost. I'm glad they released it, will save so much time for release The only points I feel could be improved are hair color, some more hair styles, and maybe my biggest concern voicing
It's pretty good, but it's restrictive when you realize the base heads come with unique skin maps, lips, noses, ears, and eyes. So if you wanted something from one you have to use that base head. Unlike in DD1, where you could pick entirely different face structures like lips and put it on anything else.
@@drbadboy7111 No, you can't. You can't mix and match different parts from different heads, or make completely new face shapes. You choose a head and skin, and everything you do is based on that head. You are limited by the max values that head has ascribed to it.
@@HollowBagel You can mold the face to your liking, I literally took one of the old dark skin women heavy set, and morphed her into an attractive slim thick freckled women with a Russian like look. I made the nose, eyes, lips, skin texture, jaw structure, cheeks, just about about everything completely different from the starting preset. Literally turned her into an entirely different person.
@@drbadboy7111 Even if that's true, you can't make that character exactly the same again, with another head. I'm not saying it's not impressive, or that it's hard to make characters. But that character you made? That's based on that head. You can't copy that exact character with a different head. I wasn't saying you couldn't make them look completely different. I am saying there are limits. You can't take one head and infinitely sculpt it to your liking. I'm probably wording it badly, but oh well.
I spent hours and hours in the original character creator demo. Never would have expected for the sequel’s character creation to expand so much! Especially the feline friends people are making!
The Timothy chalamie one on Reddit is scary accurate, great video rift. Still haven’t made my arisen, I’ll probably make one on the 19th. Have a good day, fellow arisen
The creator is lovely however: 1. the muscle types are disappointing since you can only choose between well built and toned down. No extremes like in the first game 2. Can't make characters shorter than 160cm 3. Can't change individual skin maps 4. No color wheel and a lackluster at times palette All in all, W creator, would love more extreme customization like in DD1 though
@@JohnB-ws4ge No doubt in my mind ! But would love these in vanilla so console bros could reap the benefits. I'm glad I'm on PC because mods in this game could really go crazy.
I do wish the voices were better. The choices for that and hair/eye colors needs work. Brighter would be nice. I wanted to make a red head for my first arisen but all I have is carrot top.
@@HollowBagelwell, Dragon's Dogma is no Genshin Impact. I think it's intentional that they're keeping the colors grounded in reality, that's always been the vibe they were going for. That being said, we've seen the monstrosities people have accomplished already, so I guess this system is not THAT grounded lol. I wonder if the devs were genuinely surprised to see the community making monsters and aliens and what not.
@@CrzBonKerz21 Brighter colors so you can see it. I also want purple eyes like I had made in the first game. Maybe that's in there and I didn't play enough with it. I made green eyes for my redhead but I could hardly tell they were green. Don't get me wrong I like the CC. Some really realistic faces can be made! Just was hoping for at least same quality of voices/choices.
imo two important things are missing 1. muscles i am talking about ripped females and males like we could in ddda 2. better color selection or a saturation slider for it since it is impossible to create a redhead chara
I have created red headed characters though I think it's a specific shade of red and the color potency or whatever it's called that you have to mess with
@@latel4544 let me rephrase it yes red is there but not saturated enough tbh a color wheel with saturation and brightness sliders would be so much better
100% agree, the colors are either too bright or too dark and muscles could use some more definiton. I also would have liked more hair styles, especialy longer ones, but I understand that that would most likely bring issues with physics and clipping. But in total I'm more than happy with waht we got.
I personally have mixed feelings about the character creation system, but it is fairly robust. However, I think it was a genius move to release this early, as it allows players to get their created character & pawns created before the game releases, which means that when the game is finally released, we can just jump right on in. Plus, it creates more buzz for the game, which it needs. I hope this game is super successful, as the creators deserve it. Such a talented group from one of the last solid remaining companies (Capcom) that still actually cares about delivering quality products, which are getting so fewer in recent years.
They did with DD1 too (release a demo of customization before the release) Just shame that they confirmed that you cant customize your armors like the first game, they limited the slots so no more original fashionable contents...
Its a lame excuse to not include the silk piece etc. They censored this game heavily and capcoms ESG team had their hands in the pot. Just look at the laughable hairstyles in a European aesthetic game. @skyuru
I'm personally glad we got this instead of a demo. I'm already going to buy the game. It's nice ro be able to get my characters ready for the release of the game. It's also nice we can keep going back and touching up the characters.
Honestly, my two problems with it are the inescapable birthing hips that every character is endowed with, including the men, and not being able to go lower than 160cm. Tried (and I think succeeded, mostly) in making Gimli as my main pawn, but even 5'4" is way too tall. That, and I kinda wanted to do what I did in DD:DA and base my pawn of Megumin, which I also can't really do with her being 4'10"
I love that Dragons Dogma openly acknowledged that character creation is a vital part of "initial game interest", setting it apart from Fable 1-3 and Dragon Age 1-2 at the time. In a world now where we have Skyrims, Elden Rings, Final Fantasies, and GTA/Cyberpunk, I'm happy Dragons Dogma 2 is keeping up. I LIKE having so many options because then you're invested.
Chiseling away at getting my Arisen and Pawn _just right_ and exploring all the options easily pushed me over 10 hours, the level of detail is way deeper than I expected. I really appreciate all the roleplay value it has with all the little details you can give a character: I covered my Arisen's left side in burns with the idea he got it from the dragon's fire breath, and being able to make his burnt eye squint more than the unharmed one like Zuko really sells the idea and adds a lot of character.
hopefully they update the character creator for launch version a bit more. the women muscle definition is a bit lacking even with max slider. a little bit more defined/toned abs for max setting will be great (for me), for now its barely noticeable despite numerous version of muscle formation. other than that, a really superb char creator
The only thing I ask Capcom to improve in a possible patch is the amount of hair customization. They could allow you to divide it by sections like top, back and sides, or add a few sliders for density and length Essentially I just want to have long hair and be bald at the same time
After spending 3 hours in it after saying I'd give it 10 minutes before going to bed, I can definitely say the character creator is better than any Korean MMO I've ever seen.
As much as I wanted a gameplay demo, character creator is what I wanted more because of the time it would save me. And it has already saved me 7 hours of playtime so I can jump right into the game.
It honestly feels far more restrictive than DD1s character creator. You get half the hair styles, less than half the voice variety, the posture system feels clunky and unnatural, i tried and tried but I couldn't get a character that didn't look like they were trying to hold it in while walking to the bathroom. The height range is more limited than the first, no dwarves, hobbits, goblins, etc. and the limit on hair colors feel odd when it has a really good amount of options for skin color. the lack of limb length sliders make the torso length slide useless since anything out of the middle just looks wrong, and some of the muscle options had almost no visible effect to them. It feels unfinished in a few ways and I'm just hoping it gets a touch up and some more options when it comes to color and body customization. The face customization was amazing but once you get to the body customization it almost feels like it's half-finished. (Also forgot to add the keyboard and mouse controls suck, no reason to have a bad control scheme on a PC game when the first game was perfectly fine, they had a recipe and practically threw it out the window)
I feel like they improved in the major areas, but fell short in several aspects. Generally, they seem to have tried to make it hard to have "extreme" characters. No bursting muscles, or grotesque horrors. That's the only reason I can think of for why they have such hard limits on things. But in this, they failed. Not only can people create these monsters that they seem to have discouraged, but they also limited players from creating better characters. Hair, is extremely limited. Muscles are nearly invisible by videogame standards. Skin is tied to head types, so you can't choose a separate skin and head. They need to be part of the same base. The voices for both the Arisen AND Pawns are limited. The Pawns, specifically, have voices tied to what seem to be inclinations. So you have to CHOOSE the inclination for a voice, which is stupid. They should just all be available no matter what inclination.
yeaahhh i am worried cus i kept crashing in this only when i put in windowed by 1240x and set fps 30, v-sync off . So what's gonna happen on full game :(
1:00 While this Shaggy look like is searching for a chalenge The Scooby one is giving the "I Didnt think it happened so soon... is getting worse" face stare lol and i love it your Char
I was honestly more surprised with how easy it was to create a good looking character, I'd usually take well over an hour to make a good character with games like lords of the fallen, the souls series MHW, SF6, even cyberpunk 2077, but with this it took me 20-30 mins top to make something satisfying.
It's a good character creator, I'm just so sad you can't make short characters. With 160 being the minimum height, making shortstack goblins or hefty dwarves feels impossible. That and not being able to scale the hands are probably my only real gripes with it, and I can at least understand issues that would arise with the hands, but the height limit strikes me as just strange.
It's likely because there will be many cutscenes or interactions with characters that require your model to interact with there's and while making you taller can be solved by someone raising a limb, a simple bone tweak in the model Making someone too short would require you to make entirely new animations or else with the new animation and realism quality everything would look rather janky Just like how baldur's gate 3 needed to make multiple patches so characters could squat down to interact with dwarves and other short characters Doing that for 1,000 characters in DD2 would've been so much work
@@latel4544 I would rather hazard a guess that too many people made characters that look like literal children in the first game and they don't want the drama from that in the second game.
the problem was that people were making children and then putting them in thongs. i roleplayed the first game as a Link character and made a character that looked like a tween. it was weird when Fournival and i took each other in embrace, but the freedom for rp was nice. @PowerSenpai
Overall I'm happy with the character I made, but it's a little disappointing there aren't more hair choices or the ability to adjust any of them. It's also lacking a few things like face blemishes or piercings. My original char from dd1 had a beauty mark under her eye and I can't do that in this one, and none of the tattoos scale down small enough to be used instead
@DraGanix33 Can you tell me how? I played with the colors and skin and couldn't make it. At max, I managed something slightly shaded, but still very bright.
@DraGanix33 Yeah, that's not what I was going for, I was going for true black/color like in fantasy dark elves. But, thanks for the reply and trying :)
I think it's amazing, lots of freedom, but also helps out bad character creators like myself. I was surprised, though I couldn't get a purple eye color. The closest I found was the last color swatch, which doesn't really look too purple
This was a genius move. The character creator makes me more than excited for all of the absolute monstrosities I'm going to find in game. I'm going to be collecting and favoriting all of them I find.
A little sad to see Breeburn's Pawn get so much attention because apparently I made the exact same one, having spent hours in the creator perfecting it, too
@@ziloe in game make it learn and be sueful and people will pick it more, as that is a very important part of pawns, so people that are invested in the game will not only pick looks but skills and in that it can give you a boost if you want people to use yours, I know I would certainly prefer a good pawn over just looks
I used multiple scars to create the resemblance of stitching's on a doll at the neck, elbow, and knees combined with porcelain white skin. Although I won't be making it, I could easily see how someone could make Malenia Blade of Miquella using some of these techniques.
Kinda bummed that the muscle definition for female characters is barely noticeable. Also nose, eyes and mouth being "locked" into preset heads feels kinda restrictive as well
Character creator seems to be pretty good. Though, some obvious stuff is missing, like you can't make your character smaller than 160 cm. And all presets are abysmal, especially for women
@@jordonrenaud1178 I mean, if we're gonna turn this into contest, then I would love to point you in the direction of Dark Souls games. Honestly, any will work
It's solid, but definitely far from perfect. I wish it had a slider to change the length of the various hair styles, because the current variety of hair styles is very small imo. But more importantly it would be great if I and tons of other people didn't have constant issues with it crashing with 20** generation cards on PC. Seems pretty poorly optimized to have that many crashes with a char creator. Really everything in my heart wants to pre-order, but I can't justify it if I can't even play the character creator for more than 10 min without crashes.
They improved character customization but they removed and limited armor customization with upper and lowr body slots instead to make your own fashion style, they nailed but limited lol They removed the most favourite option of DD1 fans, Capcom as always they love to cut contents...
Only thing they need is more hair styles, fur styles and coloring for fur and hair. The fur coloring imo needs more defining. The colors mash together and is hard to get exactly what your going for. I dont know how to explain it.
The character creator is impressive, but it is also quite flawed because once you are locked into a "preset" face, you can only edit it so much. The type of eyes, nose and mouth can't be changed, which is a big shortcoming that limits what you can do. Hairstyles are also lacking (as they always are in these games). Tattoos and scars and the way those settings work, is just crap.
It's both impressive but at the same time too restrictive. Skin customization is strange, hair color is super limited, wrinkle and muscle sliders don't seem to do enough sometimes, etc. Somehow people are still able to make some amazing creations.
@@HollowBagel You must be one of the fromsoft fanboys that cry whenever a game comes out that is better than the ps1 reskins that fromsoft keeps putting out.
I've been dreaming of this sequel since the first one... But I feel like my heart's been ripped out by a dragon. Sure, the sculpting is great, but the female walking and posture animation is absolutely disgusting. Everyone walks like Shrek. Am I the only one that sees this?!? We have a problem here folks... Also, they REMOVED layered armor. WTF is going on?!?! 2 of my favorite aspects I've preached about for the past decade have been borked and/or removed. WHY?!?!? I posted a video the other day on my channel of a comparison between DD1 vs DD2 creators. I'm not spamming, but there needs to be some major awareness of this...
Pretty decent but the hairstyles are so limited and goofy. Over half the hairstyles are suited for blacks, old people, or lesbians. The female presets are some of the ugliest and for no reason. Capcoms ESG page tells me everything I need to know. Why don't we have normal long wavy hair and decent ponytails? Why is the rating tamed since the original? Why is diversity so strangely skewed in a European aesthetic world? I'm going to have a blast with the game, but if I find a non binary person they're going to meet the brine every time.
Its scary how a character creation is more fun than most AAA games today

yeaahhh i am worried cus i kept crashing in this only when i put in windowed by 1240x and set fps 30, v-sync off . So what's gonna happen on full game :(
1:00 While this Shaggy look like is searching for a chalenge The Scooby one is giving the "I Didnt think it happened so soon... is getting worse" face stare lol
and i love it your Char
I was bummed not seeing my post included.
I was honestly more surprised with how easy it was to create a good looking character, I'd usually take well over an hour to make a good character with games like lords of the fallen, the souls series MHW, SF6, even cyberpunk 2077, but with this it took me 20-30 mins top to make something satisfying.
It's a good character creator, I'm just so sad you can't make short characters. With 160 being the minimum height, making shortstack goblins or hefty dwarves feels impossible. That and not being able to scale the hands are probably my only real gripes with it, and I can at least understand issues that would arise with the hands, but the height limit strikes me as just strange.
It's likely because there will be many cutscenes or interactions with characters that require your model to interact with there's and while making you taller can be solved by someone raising a limb, a simple bone tweak in the model
Making someone too short would require you to make entirely new animations or else with the new animation and realism quality everything would look rather janky
Just like how baldur's gate 3 needed to make multiple patches so characters could squat down to interact with dwarves and other short characters
Doing that for 1,000 characters in DD2 would've been so much work
Yeah I was dissapointed with that. 160 is not really that short and many adult women are smaller than this.
@@latel4544 I would rather hazard a guess that too many people made characters that look like literal children in the first game and they don't want the drama from that in the second game.
the problem was that people were making children and then putting them in thongs. i roleplayed the first game as a Link character and made a character that looked like a tween. it was weird when Fournival and i took each other in embrace, but the freedom for rp was nice.
@PowerSenpai
Blame the freaks who made little girls and then out them in Skippy armor in the last game
2:07 that looks like something from the thing
I hope they had helmet toggle off so that i can bask in the beauty of my Arisen
Overall I'm happy with the character I made, but it's a little disappointing there aren't more hair choices or the ability to adjust any of them. It's also lacking a few things like face blemishes or piercings. My original char from dd1 had a beauty mark under her eye and I can't do that in this one, and none of the tattoos scale down small enough to be used instead
Can I do a dark skin tone (like dark elf)? I can't seem to manage, it only goes blueish-slightly gray. but too bright.
I think you might have to try tattoos. I hit the same issue.
@@carolinemccall2608
Problem is I use them for... well, tattoos :)
From the comments I understand it's a general coloring issue with the CC
@DraGanix33
Can you tell me how? I played with the colors and skin and couldn't make it. At max, I managed something slightly shaded, but still very bright.
@DraGanix33
Yeah, that's not what I was going for, I was going for true black/color like in fantasy dark elves. But, thanks for the reply and trying :)
The amount of people angry they can no longer make sexy children is ridiculously high
I don’t even want to know
Dawg what
FBI, open up!
2:27 what adorable main pawn 😂
I think it's amazing, lots of freedom, but also helps out bad character creators like myself.
I was surprised, though I couldn't get a purple eye color. The closest I found was the last color swatch, which doesn't really look too purple
This was a genius move. The character creator makes me more than excited for all of the absolute monstrosities I'm going to find in game. I'm going to be collecting and favoriting all of them I find.
A little sad to see Breeburn's Pawn get so much attention because apparently I made the exact same one, having spent hours in the creator perfecting it, too
Awww, I wanna see it!
Lots of people going to be playing this.
I'm sure they will be just as thrilled to hire your pawn when they see it 👍
@@Zephy_Sky I know, it was just a surprise, given how much time I put into it. The hair type seems to be rather popular, too
@@ziloe in game make it learn and be sueful and people will pick it more, as that is a very important part of pawns, so people that are invested in the game will not only pick looks but skills and in that it can give you a boost if you want people to use yours, I know I would certainly prefer a good pawn over just looks
I used multiple scars to create the resemblance of stitching's on a doll at the neck, elbow, and knees combined with porcelain white skin. Although I won't be making it, I could easily see how someone could make Malenia Blade of Miquella using some of these techniques.
Can we make the fem characters less buff or is that locked in?
Is there a Mercedes Voice?
Is this on pc or ps5?
This is excatly what i imagined for the game!!
If other players rent my pawn, will i get credit such as money in game, item, or something else?
I know in the first game, you could give a gift to the pawns you recruit, and they in turn will give it to you, plus rift crystals
6:15
"Stop! Haha, make it stop! Thank god she closed her mouth."
Hancock: I see nothing wrong here. Good job, good job.
the pawn you made looks like ESO poster girl
May Rifty guide other Arisens fair and justly during their travels =Dv
2:40 "I thinking something uh different, not too generic"
Proceeds to make the most generic elf girl possible
Wish I could run this, but I'm getting the dreaded 'unsupported graphics card' error. Oh well.
Kinda bummed that the muscle definition for female characters is barely noticeable. Also nose, eyes and mouth being "locked" into preset heads feels kinda restrictive as well
It's also barely noticeable for males. Most of the muscle types are almost invisible.
@@HollowBagel 19, 26 and 36 are pretty noticeable on males.
Rifty supremacy.
Character creator seems to be pretty good. Though, some obvious stuff is missing, like you can't make your character smaller than 160 cm. And all presets are abysmal, especially for women
You should see some of the presets for women in RDR2. & then you’ll see abysmal
@@jordonrenaud1178 I mean, if we're gonna turn this into contest, then I would love to point you in the direction of Dark Souls games. Honestly, any will work
that Aragorn look amazing thoo
On ps5 I made guts and my character is Dante. You can kinda see it in my more recent video.
The colours definitely felt restricted, hair colours were very dull, skin hue was tied to a preset. Otherwise i enjoyed messing around for a few hours
Im gonna try to make Kimahri tonight
It's solid, but definitely far from perfect. I wish it had a slider to change the length of the various hair styles, because the current variety of hair styles is very small imo.
But more importantly it would be great if I and tons of other people didn't have constant issues with it crashing with 20** generation cards on PC. Seems pretty poorly optimized to have that many crashes with a char creator. Really everything in my heart wants to pre-order, but I can't justify it if I can't even play the character creator for more than 10 min without crashes.
Restricting the height and the muscle normals being really anemic even on max really hurt it but overall very good character creation.
Let me guess there is only 15 haircuts!
i saw another youtube video like this. the frieren and kenjaku one was fucking dope as hell.
I can't make an Asian or Japanese character... isn't that weird.
ua-cam.com/video/EbQlQx-RPfI/v-deo.htmlsi=4VUtccdzBQAhkOg0&t=27 what class does the arisen switch to?
Dude there is no hands size/thickness !!!! Whyyyyy??? My buff longsword guy looks like he's gonna break hus wrists in one swing
They improved character customization but they removed and limited armor customization with upper and lowr body slots instead to make your own fashion style, they nailed but limited lol
They removed the most favourite option of DD1 fans, Capcom as always they love to cut contents...
I just wish there were shoulder tattoos
I feel like I put more hours in this character creation than some games I've played
Bruh, I played mass effect andromeda for 2 hours and I’ve spent 5 hours in the creator already
Only thing they need is more hair styles, fur styles and coloring for fur and hair. The fur coloring imo needs more defining. The colors mash together and is hard to get exactly what your going for. I dont know how to explain it.
I think this isn't accurate to say since the selection of hairstyles is vastly lackluster and definitely needs way more honestly.
I imagine that, like Monster Hunter: World, there'll be a whole host of cosmetic microtransactions.
@@HollowBagel ain't that an mmo tho?
@@The-Black-Death No?
I need someone to combine this character creator with Oblivion's
I spent more time playing this then dying light stay human 2 deluxe edition
the onlly complaint I have is that ther are not enough hairstyles =/
@@MaximilianReyCartwright even some the first game had are not present.
I can't find a cute bob haircut and thers onlly 1 type of pony tail.
@@MaximilianReyCartwrightpeople get mad when there aren’t enough black people hair styles so they added 25 of them and all are bad
@@omensoffate Let me guess.. you're white?
@@omensoffate Plenty of black people seem to disagree with you on that.

Waifu's Dogma 2
Well, I was looking forward to this game. Hard pass on a kernel level 3rd party. Fucking disappointing.
Its good …very good infact….but…. it has some major flaws and one is the camera wich is fecking ass
why does this character look like emily willis🌝
The character creator is impressive, but it is also quite flawed because once you are locked into a "preset" face, you can only edit it so much. The type of eyes, nose and mouth can't be changed, which is a big shortcoming that limits what you can do. Hairstyles are also lacking (as they always are in these games). Tattoos and scars and the way those settings work, is just crap.
It's both impressive but at the same time too restrictive. Skin customization is strange, hair color is super limited, wrinkle and muscle sliders don't seem to do enough sometimes, etc.
Somehow people are still able to make some amazing creations.
Character creator in DD2 is better than Elden Ring and the Lords of the Fallen
But not nioh 2.
@@Krocxigor You mean generic anime character creator #24?
Elden Ring character creator is awful.
@@HollowBagel You must be one of the fromsoft fanboys that cry whenever a game comes out that is better than the ps1 reskins that fromsoft keeps putting out.
@@Krocxigor lol
cannot make dwarf. 0/10
"Lolis"
Agreed.
a preset video full would be nice..you skipped many things..but nice char
No body hair for females, which means they didn't nail it.
I managed to do a pretty good Brittany Venti with the character creator. Working on Willem Dafoe right now
I really don't want to see any of these joke creations in my game
I've been dreaming of this sequel since the first one... But I feel like my heart's been ripped out by a dragon. Sure, the sculpting is great, but the female walking and posture animation is absolutely disgusting. Everyone walks like Shrek. Am I the only one that sees this?!? We have a problem here folks...
Also, they REMOVED layered armor. WTF is going on?!?! 2 of my favorite aspects I've preached about for the past decade have been borked and/or removed. WHY?!?!? I posted a video the other day on my channel of a comparison between DD1 vs DD2 creators. I'm not spamming, but there needs to be some major awareness of this...
oh man i really can not believe you made a filthy elf leaf lover (im not racist)
Why no color wheel? I dunno. I think BG3's was better. Actually maybe even DD:DA was a bit better. Maybe I just need more time with it.
BG3 isn't good. Colors sure but you can only pick preset faces. 😂
Colour wheels are a lot more complicated to do than just making a couple hundred preset colours.
Pretty decent but the hairstyles are so limited and goofy. Over half the hairstyles are suited for blacks, old people, or lesbians. The female presets are some of the ugliest and for no reason. Capcoms ESG page tells me everything I need to know. Why don't we have normal long wavy hair and decent ponytails? Why is the rating tamed since the original? Why is diversity so strangely skewed in a European aesthetic world? I'm going to have a blast with the game, but if I find a non binary person they're going to meet the brine every time.
Least unhinged anti-woke warrior.
@@theobell2002 Thanks? 😂
