Why can't Asian characters look Asian?

Yakuza on PS3, i played only one of the ps2 titles but I think Yakuza has the best realistic-looking Japanese characters.
WRONG! FF has the most realistic Japanese characters.

komodo:
you don't know what you are talking about:

real-looking person doesn't imply graphic quality, it implies that the person can look like someone you see in a street, not some FF anime looking character that would freak you out if you saw them lining up behind you to buy coffee.

On this general topic, I've always seen asian-white mixed people to look white to me. Hypodescent kicks in as the ruling train of thought
 
As a german i see europeans most of the day so people that look different are a welcome change.
They see Japanese people everyday so maybe europeans are more interesting for them?
For variety?

I also think Natsu's face doesn't look very western.
I blame the general "beauty ideal" as promoted by TV, models etc. for her unusual slim build and Taki's Zeppelins.
