Those are her real looks...

By looks I meant height, I suppose. That's the only requirement she was really looking at (and the sex change to not be weird).

That cheap excuse won't save you! Just admit you made a mistake.

I'd find it hard to believe a significant portion of the players wouldn't alter their looks in the game to a degree, even if they, for some reason, based it on their RL looks, narcists aside. In the first place they are in a fantasy setting, which tends to beg for different styles compared to our contemporary one, especially in Japan were conformity is so big. Though clearly this show wanted to suggest many copied they RL exterior since quite a few wear glasses. Maybe they are only for style, who knows, as I can't imagine a single reason why anybody would want such a weakness in a combat heavy game.

Yeah. Typo indeed. xD

Personally I just associate the players with their real looks (plus racial features such as elf ears and cat furs) just to make things easy since it also doesn't matter what they look like in real life.

As for glasses, that's based more on character design than combat logic. Glasses = smart!

It's also necessary to pull off the reflective-deceptive look. The alternative white-eyed, wicked-smile look isn't nearly as good.
