Playing Assassin's Creed II, something that's bugging me is you are an assassin, a sneaky, sneaky killer, but you run around in a really obvious gaudy white cloak that's nothing like what anybody else wears. At least in the first game there were those, I think, unrelated monks who also wore white hoods that you could blend in with. Here Ezio might as well be wearing clown clothes for how well he blends in with a crowd.
That's a problem with all the games beyond the first, honestly. I'm sure it's because they wanted to keep the Iconic nature of the hood and such but it's never really justified in game. You're apparently supposed to imagine that nobody else really notices it. I mean, fuck, the assassins proudly wave their symbol around in some of the later games and the rules tend to get stretched really thin at times. Especially the whole "Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent", which apparently doesn't include collateral damage from Ezio starting a riot, burning down a harbor full of ships, or setting a fire in AN UNDERGROUND CITY. And Connor once ordered part of New York shelled so he could break into a fort to kill one man.

Actually, people talked even worse than that. Here's an excerpt from 'Time Travelers Guide to Medieval England.'
Hey man, Tom Nook doesn't even charge interest. You show me someone willing to finance a house at 0% interest.
But he's selling you the house. He's taking his markup on the sale. Also you don't want to know what happens if you don't pay him back.
I wanted to reference that but I wasn't sure if anyone would get the joke(yeah, I know that doesn't stop me the rest of the time). Ironically, that'a also the first AC thing I was aware of so it's hard not to jokingly imagine it as sugar coated horror.
Tifa is one of those character designs that fails on most practical senses but in terms of a striking design with memorable features and an iconic silhouette is an utter triumph. And the obvious reference you're making aside, for a close up brawler she's got pretty long hair too.
I agree that a lot of the Final Fantasy 7 cast are like that, but in the original game, as distinctive as his appearance is, Barret is way too much a 'stereotypical black guy' through a Japanese lens to really be comfortable with. He's a great character, but his first impression's not great. I like his Remake design a lot better.
Well, I believed it wasn't an element anyone else cared about, but if that's really not the case; the Arkham series with the Penguin/Cobblepot character and Shadow of Mordor series with all the Orcs, the latter being most niggling because the accent is literally everywhere you go on each Orc-ridden map.
Really? That's Nolan North?! Shit, I can't look at Shadow of Mordor the same way now. I liked the game said accents notwithstanding.Well, I believed it wasn't an element anyone else cared about, but if that's really not the case; the Arkham series with the Penguin/Cobblepot character and Shadow of Mordor series with all the Orcs, the latter being most niggling because the accent is literally everywhere you go on each Orc-ridden map.
That's a him! And yeah, I assumed the accent must be sounding close enough to not draw negative attention for most people and for him to keep getting paid to more of it. But certain vowels are poorly confused with other Brit accents.
I know he's a famous name and voice, but really? I know there are only 12 British actors but at least one of them had to be available. Robin Atkin Downes, for example, who is both British, did the British voice in Saints Row and is good at doing American Accents as well(He was Kaz Miller in MGS: Peace Walker and MGSV).Well, I believed it wasn't an element anyone else cared about, but if that's really not the case; the Arkham series with the Penguin/Cobblepot character and Shadow of Mordor series with all the Orcs, the latter being most niggling because the accent is literally everywhere you go on each Orc-ridden map.
