You could theoretically have a very based story full of based characters who are all very ugly
Ironically in the very game we are discussing the ugly character, Yuna, is one of the better written ones whose "badassery" is realistic to what women could do against grown soldiers. Thievery, sneaking, and cheap shots while running from basically everything, and she is butt ugly from living a life of that as a street urchin.
She gets underplayed a lot, because the other big storyline women (archer girl and samurai widow lesbian) are pure Woke nonsense. But its a show that the devs behind this are aware of all these problems, and are actively choosing to write in the direction they are.
Better written ones but i still remember her pissing me off with her feminist writing. I think quality of writing for her was accidental and she's not really likeable though for good reasons.
She was a means to an end. Only an absolute shitbag would be trying to rob the battlefield soon enough to find Jin and be able to save him. And then she pushed him towards finding the actual best character of the story, her brother, whose tools and arc are what turned Jin into the Ghost itself.
Yeah, pretty much. My brain already purged most of the story but i remember evaluating her character on my 2nd (pc) playthrough and yeah she was mostly a rogue (semi-scum) with a few redeeming qualities.
That's how I was with the old samurai widow lady. I had written her off from like her first quest as a garbage person, so her "forgive my lesbian lover" nonsense barely registered.
My personal beef with the game was always the bow girl and how much she gets away with. Both in terms of somehow mega competence to dodge us over and over (while also being everywhere and training then killing Mongols), and then just getting let go as completely forgiven because "well she cleaned up her mess (sans all the people who got killed)."
Yuna never felt like a particular problem, because the story never seemed to spend a lot of time redeeming her. She was usually right, but only because Jin was so naive from his elite life that she was saying basic stuff and it was treated as shocking to him.
