Sometime French characters come from Marseilles despite having no accent nor any of the local culture traits which is worse imo.
>>320142116
Sure with the exception of British or Japanese characters, who tend to have just as much variety of city of origin as American characters, even if it's just Kyoto or Osaka for Japan. Russia also usually gets a few more cities in its roster, like Vladivostok.
Besides, nobody gives a shit about cities in other countries.
Let's check the list of Alpha cities
>United States
8. New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Boston, Atlanta, and Miami, if you're curious.
>France, Japan, Turkey, Ireland, Russia, Britain
All one a piece, all capitals.
The United States has more alpha cities than all those countries combined.
Now, to be fair, Spain and India have two, and Germany has three. The United States still outnumbers those three combined.
>>320142585
Tours, Nancy, Bordeaux
At least you fags get video game characters that are from your country even if they only acknowledge a single city from your country.

>>320142702
I got a laugh. Don't think your post went unappreciated.
>>320142116
I don't think this trend actually exists OP. Most of the time characters are just listed from a country instead of any specific city and when they are it isn't any of the cities mentioned.
Ezio is from Florence (instead of Venice) and Arno from Versailles for instance. Zangeif is unspecified "Soviet Union" and Sean Devlin is just "Ireland."
Hoxton from Payday is from the Midlands... THE FUCKING WOOL.

It's somuch fun seeing other countries pretend their cities matter or are known in any way.
Number 2 anywhere else is literally less known than our top 20 easily. Atlanta doesn't do shit but it's got TWD. Boston is a shit hole and yet FO4. Frisco is a total buttlicking paradise and home to Star Trek's HQ. LA and NY are easy. But we could set a game in Detroit (Robocop), Miami, New Orleans or Vegas. Oh wait, we have.
Name any second city elsewhere as well known in pop culture. We ARE pop culture, it's long past time to accept it. That's why singers you can't even understand talking sing in our accent. It's what they've always heard.

These places seldom exist unless to explain the V.A's accent, they are completely irrelevant in most videogame universes unless a plot point is or has happened there.
