Basically, the point I'm making is that it's really hard to make "memorable" character designs in realistic games without giving them some kind of bizarre, unrealistic addition to their design in order to stand out from everyday people. That doesn't mean the designs are bad, and stuff like that meme seem super dismissive to that fact. People are just used to more ridiculous designs from Japanese games, but it's not really a fair comparison.

I agree with you in principle, but not with the lack of value judgment. Most of the people I see in real life are pretty generic/unmemorable. Same would be true if I went to a military base (in fact, more so because of uniforms and hairstyle codes), or a camp of archeologists, or whatever.

But I don't want to play as a generic/unmemorable character. Give me spiky hair and a giant sword any day.

Basically reality sucks.
