I don't think it has anything to do w/ Moe, but they just look unattractive and stereotypical Asian even if they were trying to go for the realistic tough female look. She doesn't have to look anime-ish, at least her design shouldn't turn people away since she's the main character. For example, Lucy Liu is not pretty at all, many Asian actresses are much prettier than her, but she's seen as good looking in the US, people seem to think she represents Asian beauty. Whether she has class is a different matter.I love Heavenly Sword and am interested in this game, but if the female leads look a little better, it would be much better to look at aesthetically.
