It seems that with the added advantages they have in designing characters with the technology they have nowadays they try to make the characters look like perfect physical specimen's. All the girls look like absolute beauty queens, and all the guy characters look as hunky as they can possibly look. When these systems with the abilty to create such good looking characters first came out it was all cool (it was fun to see what they could create through pure graphics). But now all the characters seem to look exactly the same (either a perfect beauty queen or a perfect hunk).

Now I think it would be cool to see just some average looking joe's (average or maybe just slightly better than average in the looks department.) I think it would be cool for them to start making games with just normal looking people instead of all these God's and Goddess's that they have in the games now.
