Just realized I don't have a GG related figure. I remember coming across an I-No at a local comic book shop, but I hate that bitch. Trying to get Dizzy's Good Ending would make anyone hate I-No.

Seriously, Japan. How the hell is that attractive? I just don't get it. I honestly don't.

I would imagine that making her look more mature would mean giving her narrow-eyes and a bigger nose, which in my opinion would just make her look Morrigan-caliber slutty. I prefer cuties over sluts.
At least according to the story, she is actually about 6 years old or something. She was an infant only 3 years before the events of Guilty Gear X.

Giving her a generic "anime little girl" face is just...bleh. It's just creepy. They did the same thing with Terra in Dissidia; her initial character art looked one way, then about two weeks before release they "redrew" her to give her a fatter, rounder, younger-looking face. Or the way they redesigned Rena in the PSP version of Star Ocean 2 to make her look about 10 compared to the obvious 17 she looked like in the original game. Which made the love story between her and Claude INCREDIBLY awkward.
I just don't see what the point is of this trend to "youngify" every girl in Japanese gaming. Next we're gonna see Lightning in the final version of FFXIII with GIANT dishplate eyes.

@Archaotic: I dunno, I'm looking at the GGX artbook right now, and I'm not seeing anything that is glaringly different from the original art.
She does look younger, but honestly, every piece of official art draws her completely different. In one she looks like she came right out of a harem anime, ([creativeuncut.com]) and in another she looks like she'd fit right into an American comic book. ([creativeuncut.com]). In one pic she looks like a young woman ([creativeuncut.com]), and in another she looks like she's significantly older ([creativeuncut.com]).
There really is no consistency in Guilty Gear's artstyle. I remember this being an issue with Bridget. Bridget looks convincingly like a girl in most art ([creativeuncut.com]), but then that profile picture makes the "Bridget is a dude" deal a whole lot more believable ([creativeuncut.com]).
@Liptons: Yeah, I guess I should have realized that this is totally a look becoming of a sophisticated lady.
It's not like I hate Morrigan - she's got a great character design and it totally fits her nature (a nature which involves jumping the bones of anything roughly humanoid to keep on living). I'm just not a huge fan of 'sexpot' characters.

The figure just takes her normal body and plops an "anime girl" head on top of it, which at least to me looks REALLY out of place. But whatever, no use getting into an argument over something silly like this, right? I should really be in bed anyway.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that I have seen many Japanese girls who do in fact look way younger in the face.

Click on the Characters tab and load up Morrigan's profile. It's the exact same image.

She looks equally "Red-Light District" in Namco X Capcom, if that's any consolation.

In Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends, you cook meals for "Grandpa," "Grandma," and "Papa," Cooking Mama's dad, mom, and husband respectively. You also cook for a variety of children, but two of them (Ayaka and Takuya) look like a combination of Mama and Papa, leading me to believe that Cooking Mama is a married mother of two.
Now I'm REALLY sad for knowing this.
