I created two dudes, who I shall refer to as, um, Phesiroth and Claude based on their uncanny resemblance to two popular JRPG characters. In short, I just ended up using a male character instead, which isn’t a big deal given how I normally use male characters for Soulsborne games anyway. I’m not sure if the first character I meet in the game was just short but it made my female character look like Nancy Archer.

See, the one weakness in Code Vein’s otherwise excellent character editor is the lack of a height slider. I ended up creating a female character as I’m known to do for a lot of games, only to change my mind after seeing my beloved creation standing next to the tutorial lady. There’s a plethora of hairstyles, face types and all other sorts of customization options for your avatar. It’s like being blindfolded then thrown inside a Costco for the first time and then having the blindfold taken off. Goodness gracious, talk about having a buttload of options. That’s because I fell into the rabbit hole that is the Code Vein character. Hilariously, it took me more than an hour to actually get started with the game. If anything, I was actually excited to see what it was like to play an “anime Souls” or “weeb Souls” type of game. As such, I approached Code Vein without any strong preconceived notions against it. But it does make life more fun when you can enjoy a wide variety of things. I don’t think it makes me special or anything, by the way. My tastes in games and media happen to be the same. I, on the other hand, happen to be an unabashed omnivore who can eat almost anything. Some folks just prefer a certain look for their games, just like they’d rather have cooked salmon instead of salmon sashimi. I know folks who would not give Phantasy Star Online 2 or even Final Fantasy games a chance, for example, because they either look very anime or the dudes are too pretty for their tastes. Granted, anime-style visuals are an acquired taste that not everyone can appreciate.

Variety, however, is the Aleppo pepper of life and it’s nice to have an entry in the menu with a different flavor profile once in a while. Between Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Nioh and Sekiro, there’s no shortage of options for gritty “Soulsborne” titles. In all seriousness, however, I was quite looking forward to Code Vein ever since it was announced.
