While Western game developers often create less attractive female characters to avoid distorting men’s perceptions of real women, Japanese developers typically do the opposite, aiming to make female characters appealing. Capcom, in particular, is commended for daring to defy Western norms, as evidenced by a survey they conducted on their official website, indicating they are moving in the right direction.
Overall, over 254,000 individuals participated in the vote. When asked, “What do you value most in Capcom games?” the top response was “Addictive gameplay,” garnering over 156,000 votes. “Beautiful and unique characters” came in second with 136,000 votes, while “Unpredictable and exciting plot” received 95,000 votes, placing third.
The rating encompasses options like “Memorable and touching music,” “Excellent graphics,” and more.
