Redesigned Concepts of Female Video Game Characters

Redesigned Concepts of Female Video Game Characters

Sacha believes that gender and gender norms should not heavily influence a character’s design and role in video games. In her project Sacha redesigns two classic female video game characters that visually do not appropriately represent their concept. These characters are “Quiet” from “Metal Gear Solid V” who is a mercenary who has the ability to breathe through her skin, and “Cindy” from “Final Fantasy XV” who is a mechanic. Both characters were presented in a sexualised manner when the games were released, and the objective of Sacha’s project was to redesign them to their needs and concepts.
