Loving the game so far. You guys did a great job with customization options to include as many player demographics as possible. Just two little things that bugged me a bit and it may be taken to the next level by less rational minds. The first is in the customization menu under the skin color. The skin color isn't just shown, its also writen out -i.e. "White, Brown, Black". I just found it a bit off putting. They don't need to be labled, we can see the color. The other thing is the female character models have a very sassy hip swing to them. Did anyone else notice? If a woman is raised to be a decaptiting Samurai warror, she probably wouldn't walk like that. Again, two little almost non-issues i thought I would just throw out there. Love the game. Can't wait for the full release.

Going to be real honest, if these two things offend you, you probably shouldn't be playing this game.
Regarding the skin colors, there is such a thing as color blindness which affects certain color tones. People may not be able to accurately see the colors on the screen, so writing out the names helps.
As for the women walking animation, I actually agree it is a little exaggerated but you're running 95% of the time so you don't ever really see it.

As someone who is colorblind its offensive to me that you think them labeling the skin colors is offensive.. I particularly have issues telling brown and black apart as well as "white" skin appears what I suppose others would call green...
As far as the hip swaying goes, who's to say they didn't walk like that... But more over most of the time when I play I'm not staring at my characters *** I'm more focused on my opponent..

Hi, First, I am not pro or against any political ideologies but, your post seems ironic so I had to point it out. As so many social activist ("SJW" has become a pejorative term so I never use it) seem to think they should bring up every issue about race and gender they can and in doing so end up being themselves racists and sexists. You seem to say mentioning skin colors by their name is racist, but I am a brown Indian and very proud of it and your comment makes it feel like it is shameful to have a named skin color and that is a very white supremacist way of thinking. As for the female way of walking, most women have a different center of gravity and it is just natural women's biology to have a differently shaped hip then men (just google female walk) therefore, their way of walking is just not the same as males and in trying to strip the female character of their female identity you are being very sexist and honestly this game is already the ultimate anti-women game I have ever seen. Actually, I didn't even realize there were female character in the game until I read it in the customization menu which, I feel is very unfortunate since women have lost their uniqueness and are portrayed as nothing more than down sized males. As a matter of fact, a feminine body is nothing to be ashamed of and quite to the contrary to popular belief promoted by the social activists, you do not need to have a male body to be able to be a great fighter in truth, there are some incredible martial art feats and gymnastics routines that can only be performed (or better performed) by a feminine archetype. Unfortunately, Ubisoft especially after their stance on not desiring to make extra work for female character in AC Unity, just doesn't surprise me in not doing any dedicated research on female fighter but went with the simple male to female cloning technique. As I said earlier, I am not one to be bothered with any political, racism or sexism issues and in the end, it is the creative choice of the game developer to represent who and what they want the way they want. Anyhow, I love the Kensai and I just can't wait to play it again!
