På Tekken-seriens Facebook-side etterlyser produsent Katsuhiro Harada tilbakemeldinger på en arabisk slåsskjempe til Tekken 7. Harada skriver at de har hatt lyst til å gjøre dette lenge, men at hans japanske team har hatt for liten kunnskap om kultur og klær til å yte en slik fighter rettferdighet:
"To be honest, we did have an idea of an Arab fighter since 2008, but since most of the development team members are Japanese and do not know much about the Middle Eastern culture or clothes, we were not able to fully design it back then. But in recent years I (Harada) have been visiting places such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and many of the development staff members have been learning about Middle Eastern culture and designs."
Han fortsetter med å si at det ikke er avgjort om denne karakteren får være med eller ikke, men at det er fullt mulig om communityet fra nettopp Midt-Østen liker det de ser:
"If the Tekken fan community, especially those in the Middle Eastern area, end up liking this character, I would like to feature this character in the game. On the other hand, if this character is not received well by the Middle Eastern Tekken fan community members, there is a possibility that the character will be considerably changed or letting go of the idea of featuring this character in the game."</i>
Skulle du like eller mislike kan du stikke inn på Facebook og gi Harada beskjed der han spør om synspunkter fra fansen:
"The development team likes this design and think that this character is a cool Arab fighter, but if there is something in particular to mention, please do let us know."
