At some point at a heavy discount? Yup. Not anymore. Same as with the SW: OutlawsSo you were actually in, up until seeing her in-game face?

e-hentai is actually a legit place to find artbooks/data books/ect. of anime and games.

The right model looks as if someone wanted to blur the line between traditional female and male facial features erring on the side of the latter (for some mysterious and decidedly non political reasonPlease go see a doctor, you may be going blind.
) and try to kind of claim some sort of plausible deniability as if they did it to the other main character it would look more difficult to accept for the masses.

Even Stevie Wonder can see the huge jawline of the in-game version compared to the concept art.
Thicker eyebrows, strong and broad jawline. The in-game model has masculine features, the concept art doesn’t.

Yep.
There are some mentally wrong 'uns here who can't see the difference. It's amazing what an ideology can do.

Maybe the they is refered to the clan of samurai he was part of, they (the clan) were well trained and shit.

That's what it's referring to. It's basic grammar.
I'm all for hunting out DEI/wokeness and mocking it, but we need to be careful it doesn't blind us.

English is not my native language but he goes from single subject to plural to single subject again with zero hints that he is changing subject, not sure how grammatically correct it is tbh.
He goes from "he is this, this and this" to "they are this, this and this" to him again being this and this.
If you chose that you are talking about him as a single subject it doesn't make sense to include his clan for just a period and then return to him as single subject, the phrase feel a bit disjointed.

Yeah so apparently the clan always felt constrained by the strict rules of the samurai class, as opposed to that word They referring to the character subject being profiled here? Riiight. And I have a bridge to sell you.
Ubisoft is trying to pull a fast one, no doubt about that in my mind.

I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt because the phrase is not super clear, i doubt they are gonna go as far as having a they\them samurai after the gigantic veilguard fiasco.
But ubisoft is pretty stupid so who knows...

That's fairminded of you to do, I was getting a bit affected by the spirit of chudliness running around lately.
I think 2 things are possible.
1. It was written as if this was a non binary character some years ago to keep MGMT happy
2. After Veilguard dropped like a bomb, they would have edited that out before release but since it got leaked we get to see it it's unmodified form

C'mon bro, can't you just go with the prescribed mockable jpg that's already been drilled into our heads???

It is on purpose, I think it is intentionally trying to redefine what feminine looks like in media, which is not really working as a task, but strangely the same has not happened with male characters.

So a more mannish face is what you are saying.
Do you usually consider a man's face on a woman to be a minor downgrade visually?

I've been trying to tell my waitress at Applebees that for years.

Yeah, its pretty obvious once you compare both pictures. If that one was introduced to a random fella without a name or anything, pretty sure the person would totally say its a guy.
But why minor though? Honestly I don't think its difficult in terms of art and visuals to transform a woman to a man looking character(or at least make it more man looking). Just give jaws and some square proportions and you're good to go(talking about face here though). Its pretty common with the clowns in game industry picking up a female model and give tune here and there to be more masculine. So in resume, its more about difficulty I'm talking about.

Concept Art design is better. Should of just copied Ayame from Tenchu and it would be fantastic.

Seems like a mesh up of all the things they could find on google in a single search, put all together in a single art.

Credit where credit's due. It's a pretty well blended and composed collage.

Looks like Ubi ripped off bunch of pictures that are available online. No idea if this is true or not.

It is. Was a big part of the early uproar when they teased the artbook. But did they actually include this in their final artbook? I don't know. I'm hesitant to look through the hentai website for... reasons

Indeed, they made her older/uglier/more masculine, standard ubi procedure.

I wager that if this was our lineup of protagonists then the game might have better reception.

If we are going to go down this path of analyzing facial bone structure, at least pick a shot from within the game please? The one being shared here repeatedly is from their CG trailer. Not the one in gameplay or cutscenes..She is clearly more feminine there, but the below image is giving me Mortal Kombat 1995 Liu Kang vibes.

That's not even just using them for reference. Vile.

I knew theres something fishy when the whole ww2 plushie was revealed. Theres probably more vile stuff in the game that we didn't know, they might even took out before the game launches.
