There is another thread here on Renderosity that goes into some specific detail about the P5 figures--the look of the face....and the important point is the fact the RDNA gallery images are the default characters, but in the FACE ROOM, there are just hundreds or more ways to tweak the face to look so different. There are also numerous ready made face morphs included on the CD....just a great many dials to fidgit with and of course the face putty feature.... These characters, not looking maybe so good in their default look, can be made to look like anybody you want. I can't find the thread right now, but it is worth finding---it will answer many of your concerns

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
