You guys are a bit helpless. It is a the story of a vengeful mother. Casting/ depiction seems to be spot on for that to me.

I only clicked into this thread to see what it was about because there was no game title mentioned in the topic.

I have now learned that normal looking people cannot be protagonists in videogames. Gotta be hot. Normals and uggos can only be NPCs.

I don't want to but I can't control my fingers…

Would consider buying the game if she looked like this. Shame. Could play the realism card but I don't see a girl of Atsu's proportions realistically swinging an Odachi either.

An Odachi can weigh as low as about 2 Kg, not exactly something heavy. Most swords were very light, as a slow swing is bad. Especially in feudal Japan, the average height of men was around 5'2".

I never understood the comments that Atsu was ugly. Plain and average looking, but certainly far from hideous.

It's Gaf. The fact the main protagonist is a woman is sacrilege to some never mind her being an average looking Japanese female without makeup.

I'm sure with training she has ensured she could swing that sword.
