Why don't we see a diverse ethnicity of characters?

I love the concept of this game. Its the game i've been wanting ever since i touched dynasty warriors. The only problem I see is a missed opportunity. This is historical based fiction, which means the creates have the license to add whatever type of characters they want. Why don't we see any characters of color? Its pretty well documented at this point that many of the Vikings and Celts were what we call "black". Civilizations thousands of years ago had no concept of racism. Tribes and empires were the dividing line. For the post BC characters like the knights it makes more sense to have a homogeneous group of warriors even though there were knights of color thousands of years ago. For the Vikings and Celts they should definitely be mixed "race". For the Samurai homogenous is more likely but that depends on how far back in history these Samurai are from, but there were still Samurai of color.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke ...

My strong suggestion is that the characters should be diverse in color. There is a real opportunity to stand out in the video game industry that only presents a homogenous cast of characters even though our concepts of these civilizations only go back about 1 to 2000 years and racism has only been around for about 3 to 400 years.

If you were paying attention at all you would know that you can customize your skin color in the game. You can make your viking black if you want.

But will there be multiplayer?

I was told that we can control our characters with a controller?

Is this true?
