twofaiths In an inspired bit of blogging last month, Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft presented these two images of “Mirror’s Edge” protagonist Faith.

He showed the official version made by EA-owned Swedish development studio DICE, as seen up to the left here. And he showed a version made by a gamer on a Korean message board apparently in the interest of depicting what that gamer found to be a more appealing vision of Asian female beauty, which is on the right.

I asked “Mirror’s Edge” producer Tom Farrer if he’d seen the images — of course, he had — and what he thought of them. His unvarnished answer:

“I remember when I first had that image sent to me. To be honest, I found it kind of sad. We’ve spent time in developing Faith. And the important thing for us was that she was human, that she was more real.
