I like JRPGs but I'll be damned if this isn't accurate....and funny as hell to boot. As for Nier, instead of fighting over the look of the lead character they should have concentrated on making the game it self. Nier isn't very good. Also why could they go for a compromise character that could have appealed to both markets. Why'd they jump from girly 125lb emo to a macho 300lb gym rat? Couldn't they have made, I don't know 185lb guy that looked like young Auron from FFX?

Again:

"It isn't the case, though, want to see me doing the same about Japanese games?

You are a former agent of the world's greatest energy manufacturer, who joines with a terrorist organization who believe the manufacturer is destroying the planet, you begin a journey of love, tragedy, and a quest to find your foggy past.

You are a former sports player from a futuristic world, due to an encounter with a beast of immesurable strength you are washed 1,000 years into the future, where you find that all you once knew is destroyed, moreover, you find that your long lost father may have got there as well.

You are a retired governmant agent with a cool codename, you are sent to a former neuclear disposal facility in order to dispatch of the terrorist threat - You former unit, as the game continues you discover the truths and conspiracies behind your existence and what the government really want."

Now imagine me putting photos of Kratos, Marcus Fenix, Cole McGarth, Rico from KZ2, Nico from GTA4 etc...
