i know it‘s not everyones cup of tea, but it izzzz what it izzz and we knew they couldn‘t please everybody with that design - especially probably some western people, as they are used to this „all men have to be a huge amount of bulk and buff to be heroes“. im glad we see quite the opposite in japanese/asian culture in general.
They look really young, it's a wasted opportunity really. It'd be nice if that supposed 4th face, is an older looking one, but not a hideous looking one.

Personally, I prefer to play males that aren't bearded, usually some stubble, I like them to actually look cool - good really. Most games have beards that look glued on frankly. As for bodytypes, I actually quite dislike big bulky male characters as well. I really don't like the cartoony bulky males in WoW, for example. I prefer them to be more 'normal'. A decent height (not too tall), and well built, but probably the 'aesthetic' type of build. What can I say, I prefer attractive protagonists.
