Ling Yin's sexy design in "Ninja Gaiden 4" has attracted praise from overseas players.Some netizens compared her with the heroine of "The Soul of Mount Yotei", the representative of European and American 3A games.The latter is obviously a female design with an awakening political label, while Ling Yin prefers a traditional aesthetic, is more natural, plump and sexy, and has become a character that players around the world are eager to meet in games.

In fact, Ling Yin in "Ninja Gaiden 4" was designed by Tomoko Nishui, a female designer from Platinum Studio. This designer neither dyed her hair purple nor did she look like a female boxer. Everything was very normal and the aesthetics won continuous praise from European and American players.

Some netizens said that Tomoko Nishui has actually participated in the design of a number of Japanese action games, reaching 11, and is considered a veteran in the industry. The game series she has participated in include "Bayonetta", "NieR: Automata", "Metal Gear Rising", "Fall of Babylon", "Asian Chain" and so on.



Some netizens also expressed their concerns. In fact, the new version of Ling Yin still has a slight aesthetic downgrade. Although it is not as subversive as European and American women, it also hides the cleavage. At the same time, the face is fatter and the chin is stronger.

Netizens hope for a bolder design:
