You just watched the video with the idea of bashing it's Asian characteristics haven't you??
It has different races, each with different physiques but all races (the Jin, the Gon and the Kun) let you choose between genders. The differences are physionomical and not entirely different species (dunno about the Lyn though).

The classes seem really cool as well. I loved the Destroyer. But when they preseented it i was actually more interested in the opponent because that gun wielding character seem so cool handling the guns.
