Is it just me, or is the Phoenix Wright series of games the only one that consistently makes all their characters look Japanese? Typically, at least in my eyes, characters in games look like a generic race (except for instances where a character's race is known, like Mario being Italian). Sometimes there are a few that look Asian, but most casts just look plain (whether they are anime-style graphics or otherwise).
I realized this as I was scrolling through the profiles of PW:T&T today, and I really like it. It's subtle, but each and every character is distinctly Japanese. Trying to think of another game that gave me this impression, I really couldn't. There are some (J) only games (like the recently released Koushounin DS), but none I can remember on this side of the Pacific.
And on that note, I leave you with this thought: Isn't everything on one side of the Pacific, if you just change your perspective a bit?
