The Sun family (particularly SSX and Quan) were said to have green eyes, novel wise. For those of you wondering, KOEI and many other companies prefer to give game characters a more universal appeal to attract multiple gamers. Some may not find a lot of attraction to a game where all the characters look exactly the same heritage wise. With the current designs, its appealing to multiple audiences. If anything, the designers want designs that are cool and somewhat stylish to the sense that the character's look will leave an impact on the gamers. |

I remember the mainstream NA reviewers used to call DW series "the games where ppl wear silly hats". So I guess they still look foreign enough, Chinese or not. |

Well in my opinion, Xiao Qiao looks the most of non-Chinese descent. Her voice and her face make it obvious. Either her of Zhu Rong. (She looks more like a California surfer girl.) Saying that, I think the few that actually look somewhat Chinese are Zhuge Liang, Zuo Ci, Cao Ren, and Sima Yi. |

Usually in game reviewers who are not used to a game they just say what comes to mind. But I agree with you, if that's how they see it, then it makes a great foreign game for Chinese or not appearances. Sun Jian, I couldn't decide in DW4 well of course not. DW5, Somewhat yes, DW6, uhh... No. Though I wonder why they gave him hair. Before that I used to struggle trying to imagine him with hair! >< |

One person who really doesn't look chinese to me is Wei Yan. I don't see it anything Chinese on him. He looks more like a barbarian to me. |

the whole sun family is not chinese. As most of them(evident mostly in sun jian and sun shang xiang)have green eyes, and SSX have red hair and wore a cloth that looked like an fairy, that's definately not chinese!!!!! Gan ning, blond haired Machao, blonde Cao family(especially cao pi)have relatively chesiled face and cold blue eyes, caocao seem to possess a hispanic latino look while caopi is eastern european by look, and look inhumanly cold like an vampire.. Cao Ren, wore heavy armor that looks like a Starcraft space marine and were brown bearded Wei yan, native american, most likely aztec Xiao qiao, yueying,red haired luxun,sima yi,most of characters, brown haired Zhao yun, wore Medival european armor. Yuan shao, beside his hat, he look just like a french count. guan yu, hair spiked up and were kind of weird shade of brownwhile most chinese tend to have straight and soft black hair, and his face is way too long and red. Xiahou yuan, looks like a fat and hairy AVERAGE AMERICAN!!!!!!! Lu xun, the feather make him look like an indian Dong zhuo and zhang jiao, way too much hair!!!!!!1 hwang gai, MR.T is not chinese!!!hes american The only true chinese is Zhuge liang, da qiao and xing cai, who both have chinese like face, and is the only people with back hair, but whatever, most them i perfer them keep the appearance non chinese( but some of them ARE very ugly in game because they just gone tto unorthodox in llook, especially guan yu and macho). |

The previous of version Xu Huang looks completely chinese to me. Not sure about this latest version. Also Cao Ren, Xiaohun Dun Xiaohun Yuan, and well I guess most Wei characters (with the noticeable exception of Zhang He, who looks both race and gender incorrect) looks fine. I still have to note, on the women side, none of them look right, Xing Cai was the closest thing before she got deleted. |

Let's see... Yue Ying looks like one of those race track girls (or at least one of the girl from a Ridge Racer game. The one with the white and red dress...) Ma Chao looks like a biker punk Gan Ning, I don't even know where to begin with this monstrosity of a design... Yuan Shao, something about his attire reminds me of an European. If look at Dian Wei's bottom half without seeing his face, you think he came out of Quake or something... Ling Tong really reminds me of some Japanese boy band singer... Basically, I think the character design team should stop watching anime while trying to design the DW cast. |

... so let's design the character models on what they looked like in real-life. Oh, wait a second, all we have are drawings of what they looked like. Okay lets design the character models on those drawings. Hmmm, no that ain't gonna work! If the characters were designed based on their real life counterparts, then the characters wouldn't be as appealing. Not all of these warriors were exactly good looking either. Can you imagine a Dynasty Warriors game full of bland, ugly, black haired characters with exactly the same moustaches and lengthy beards, wearing the same armour and robes as one another, fighting each other with the same old swords and spears. Yes, very realistic and in keeping with the history of the three kingdoms. But it doesn't make for a very appealing game. |

Most of the characters looks non-chinese for me...since they have colorful eyes, hairs... Xiao Qiao, especially in DW5, looks like a American or such. |

I believe that none of the characters look Chinese... especially Zhang Jiao (lion), Pang Tong (moth), Dong Zhuo (monster), and Lu Bu (cockroach). All of the characters in the game are anime-influenced design. Everyone looks too handsome and manly, for men and for women, too cute, sexy, and beautiful to be Chinese, not that I say every real Chinese are ugly, some look really decent too. |

The characters costumes range from regular to ecentric, but the only character that dosen't look chinese would be Xiao Qiao. |

yeah I agree that they look anime-ish, but I am confused about your statement that they look too manly/handsome to be Chinese men and too beautiful/sexy to be Chinese women.......how can you be too handsome/beautiful, manly/sexy, etc. to be a Chinese person (or any other racial group for that matter)? So if the characters were supposed to be a different ethic group would there designs be more acceptable now because that racial group is "capable" of being that manly or beautiful??? |

The game demonstrate the characters to be "too good" to be a real human. We aren't perfect. Not everyone will look or close to look like the Handsome Zhou Yu, not every girl like Diao Chan, and definitely no one will look like Dong Zhuo 'cause his skull shape is just wrong already. And as for ethnicity and racial, the same also goes for SW and SB, these guys are all, as I said, "too good" to be true. And this is game.... The characters have to look good to attract player's attention. Also, I stated that "not that I say every real Chinese are ugly, some look really decent too." So, there are good looking ones outside of the house too. FYI, I'm Asian. I know our facial and body features. |
