    It's okay to sexualize characters, both male and female
    It's okay to let your imagination run riot
    It's okay to not include Black folk in your game

    >Is there anything Japanese can learn from the west when it comes to vidya?
    They need to do it away with ayy lmao big eyes animuwu designs. Somewhere between realism and animeish like FF or nier or draken designs are better.

      Sometimes it's not appropriate
      like when they shove ass in your face during a serious scene or characters wearing skimpy shit in cold weather. Grow up, coomer.

    The West can learn to add more cute girls. The Japanese can learn to add more rocket launchers that chamber multiple rockets before firing.

    I know this is just a thread about women and political shitflinging but I’ll bite because I do think there’s things both can learn from.
    >What the west can learn from Japan
    Video games can tell their own narratives their own ways. So many western AAA devs have seemingly given up on exploring storytelling and feeling in video games using the strengths of video games themselves. They often rely on looking/feeling as much like a TV show, movie, or “real life” as they can. I’m all for cinematic narrative games like The Last of Us but sometimes you gotta give up these pensions of realism because once Last of Us starts being a game it begins to look rather goofy. Japanese games aren’t afraid to ask the player to suspend more disbelief, and can just be far more interesting as a result. My biggest issue here is also MUSIC. WESTERN GAMES NO LONGER CARE ABOUT GOOD SOUND BEYOND SOUND EFFECTS. Please stop with the movie score soundalikes and “atmospheric” soundtracks. Good music CAN work in a more narratively complex, dynamic, even open world experience. Just ask Nier!
    >What Japan can learn from the west
    Other than not sexualizing children, I think Japan’s AAA scene needs to learn to stop catering to anime fans so much. Is it lucrative? Sure. Anime fans are troglodytes who will buy anything if a character even looks slightly similar to one from one of their favorite shows, but at this point it’s getting annoying as hell. I don’t want sappy romance sim shit in my medieval strategy RPG. We have genre separations for a reason. Please preserve your fricking dignity.

      why would they need to learn from the west when they know their audience and know how to pander to them?

      I like the final fantasy semi-realistic character designs the most but I'd rather have full anime than the soulless pseudorealistic artstyle western AAA games use
