I hate that haircut

[ᚑᚅᚑᚔᚏ]

That's all I care to say.

[Sayuri]

Same. It's the one reason I don't even want to try the game out, I really dislike it when designers give the main character modern western haircuts in a game that are clearly taking part in a different time period and different culture. It's like making a game abouot Sherlock Holmes in London, but giving him a mohawk by default.

[Dark Dragon]

I agree, but thankfully you can change it in the game.

[PeteThePanda]

hate the character look in general, played the earlier ones on ps2 back in the day but this just makes me annoyed, might be a great game tho but not for me.

Yea its a bit weird they decided persian means modern day casual black hairstyle. There's no point in history where people's hair looked like that. Its just the usually silicon valley types who have no frame of reference outside their small bubble.

[Foulcher]

I don’t understand them.
They are in a huge financial crisis and they could just secure sales with the beloved character look…but they instead make this look…

They want to bankrupt aren’t they ?

oh I see they sold the original design as dlc, thats why. Its a fan tax, that's messed up.

Sadly i must agree, i guess a classic look is not cool enough anymore for younger people.

Same, I'd consider buying this but the dude looks out of place.

[Too Much Coffee Man]

Phew! At least I'm not the only one who finds the look strangely incongruous.

[Corobanto]

Maybe for them but the game is a failure in same so they’re are probably wrong :)

[Iso Koala]

Yeah. Absolutely stupid modern hair which makes whole game looks stupid. The character design of the dude overall is horrible. I think the game might still be good, but shows how Ubisoft has lost the artistic sense and are sinking down.

Honestly seems like this at this point. Every single Ubisoft game in past few years is so full of obviously bad ideas that everyone tells them straight out, but they dont fix them, but go to rant that gamers are to blame. It honestly doesnt look anything but suicidal at this point and theyre doing it on purpose for some reason.

"You didnt like this weird looking modern guy with his stupid hair in Persia setting? Well, next you will have an African-American with hip-hop music in Japan, and we will attack and blame you if you dont like the idea!"
Like wtf, it has to be suicidal on purpose for them at this point, dont know why though. Every customer knows that all these ideas, designs are fail, and blaming the customers just makes it worse every time.

[Spirit Macardi]

Yeah, the hair is less "Prince of Persia" and more "Barista of Starbucks."
