>draws character with realistic asian features
>it looks ugly
what did they mean by this?

Drawing people realistically is -- and I can't believe I need to point this out -- pretty hard. Also, one could argue beauty is in the eye of that flying one-eyed monster from D&D.

I'm not a specialist about the late stages of the U.C., but is'nt the G-Self before the Turn A?

You are correct, and every time someone claims otherwise I suffer another aneurysm, but this is most likely supposed to be in release order of the respective shows.

Translation notes says:

"Alpha wolf" social structures and the resulting conflicts have mostly only been observed in captive wolves; wild wolf packs are mostly just family units that defer to the parents. This may or may not actually be relevant here.

I am so bloody glad this is becoming common knowledge, because the amount of times I heard morons pretending they were superiors to "soyjacks" because they were "alpha males" and "redpilled" just drove me figuratively to the bloody wall more and more. I hope this gets more and more known so that these dumbasses get to realize how stupid they appeared to the normal people.

It's also quite childish.

Cuilang's clothes are definitely not Ainu. I'm fairly sure he's meant to be Mongolian.

Changing tags appropriately.

The one with Ainu's clothes is Pilika. Cuiliang was supposed to be based on Budhist clothing mixed with Tibetan/Mongolian colors.

Her clothing color was a joke taken too far: the color "ao" in japanese can be translated as both "blue" and "green", so they swapped the blue color normally found in Ainu design into that bud green.

Is there a developer interview saying as much? Blue is by far the most common colour for Ainu clothing, but robes dyed other colours exist, at least. And even if they didn't, it'd be fairly minor matter of artistic license. I'd have assumed that they just wanted Pilika to have a green palette, not that it's wordplay.

Likewise, Cuilang's outfit doesn't particularly look like monk clothing, it just seems like stylised Mongolian dress to me. Especially the toortsog! And while I haven't played Azuma yet (money, you know?), I'm told he's pointed out as coming from a nomad culture. But again, that's me looking in from outside - if there's an interview or similar explaining in more detail, I'd appreciate a link!
