Can I just ask who thought it was a good idea to hire like 12 different artists and have all the characters look different from one another in terms of artstyle? None of these circusfreaks look like they belong in the same game. What will you do when they're on screen at the same time?

Fun fact: Apparently the far left and far right characters are half-Chinese and half-White respectively. Seems like any traces of light-ish skin beyond cinnamon color is expressely verboten in this team.
It's like they have no idea how being biracial works yet some of the staff are biracial anyway. There is no diversity to the cast.
The RNG mishmash of ethnicities makes no sense in many cases. It actually makes it harder to identify with characters that are supposed to fill a gap in terms of representation. Why not use more common mixes for most of the characters? When't the last time you met anyone that was Columbian and Laotian or whatever that mix was? I am sure some exist. But why not make a Laotian character and a Columbian character separate instead? Does the staff even know anything about the cultures they are trying to represent? They seem so gung ho on breaking the checkbox record that it just looks like straight up fetishization to me. Just because you aren't white doesn't mean you can't be racially ignorant.
With such little diversity in looks and skintone the characters look less like a diverse cast and more like a "they all look the same anyway" parody. Way to go.
The clothes are for the most part unrealistic. This isn't an anime fantasy world. They should be dressed in contemporary clothing that people actually wear on a day to day basis. Catherine in particular would look leagues more normal if she was dressed properly and dropped those magic carpet ride shades.
Ctherine and the guy with the lightning bolt tattoo are wearing almost the exact same top. Yolanda is wearing a style of dress that is supposed to make you look thinner by breaking up your silhouette into separate sections. But it is fug and looks like a Halloween costume.
Hey lightning bolt face, 1980 called, they want their glam back.
I think it's kind of jarring that Ashlie's hair, pants and top look like three swatches on a color palette. But at least she is dressed normaly.
