Western vs Japanese Game Designers Comparison Meme

A two-panel meme contrasting 'Western game designers' and 'Japanese game designers' through character design. The top panel features a character in a green vest, gray shirt, and medieval-style attire standing in a rustic environment with a wooden table, hanging fruits, and a wall painting of a pig. The bottom panel shows a character in a form-fitting black tank top with a necklace, set against a plain background. The meme humorously implies stylistic differences: Western designers favoring realistic, practical clothing in rustic settings versus Japanese designers using more revealing, stylized outfits.

Origin notes

Originates from 9Gag as a user-created meme, likely inspired by the release of the latest Fable trailer (per original title). It uses edited screenshots from presumably Western and Japanese video games to create a comparative visual joke about character design philosophies.
