The fellow looks pretty Asian to be from Prussia. Or however not German at all. This testifies in favor of the "they just have their own style" theory. Yeah, I'm messing around. He's one of the only main characters who doesn't look that German. There's also the Ishbal people, but I don't know what they're supposed to be.

It's hard to find Europeans who are this good-looking, though very easy to find guys who think they are. ;D Just kidding. (No I'm not. Who am I fooling.) Actually I don't find him especially "Caucasoid". I haven't seen any lik ethis in the States at least. I thought he looked like this But with your expert eye and your sincere third party cool no it doesn't eat me I'm Chinese attitude surely you are right, he looks like this.

The picture is ambiguous, otherwise we wouldnt be discussing whether he is caucasian or east asian.
This reminds me of that long thread on ancient egypt, someone posted an ancient painting despicting an egyptian, a nubian and a libyan (or canaanite, I am not sure), charlie argued that the nose of the egyptian was slightly pointed upwards, closer to the negroid flat nose, more negroid, while the others argued that the egyptian had a straight nose closer to the hooked noses of the libyans or canaanites. It went on for 5 pages more or less.
btw
Why is the blond guy touching the bulge of the chinese player?

Thats Zhao Yun, a handsome 6'2'' warrior from present day Hebei(north china), He's claimed to have killed 21 enemy Generals and singlehanded fought his way out of several thousand enemy soldiers. The character doesn't look that different from the actor that played him in the TV series

I might add there's no shortage of blonde haired and blue eyed characters in Japanese video games.I've even see some that had Japanese characters with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Something similar happens in some latin american countries, like Mexico.
I often read articles written by right wing anti immigration americans who criticize social race stratification in Mexico, watch mexican tv and complain about how most people on mexican tv soap operas are "white" when most of the country is mestizo or amerind. Some even say that the people on tv wouldnt look out of place in Finland.
But that is not true in my experience, it is an exaggeration, they dont look like swedes, at most they look pred white, but still clearly mestizos.
I read once in spanish an interview to a mexican tv executive, and he said that they would never choose someone 100% white looking, why would mexicans want gringos on tv? the tv audience would not relate, he said it is true that they choose the most caucasian looking "mestizos", but never someone who could be confused for a brition or swede.

But actual white Spanish people don't look like Britons or Swedes anyway. For one thing, they're much more attractive.
