Yes Tidus from FFX wins for me

Could barely play the game because of his design at the time. Now, with less free time, i would skip the game outright

I skipped FFXV because of the character designs just recently

It's just random stuff glued together

So painful knowing these are the sequels we got from, in my opinion, one of the best Final Fantasies of all time RIP Tactics. I doth empty my Flask of wine unto the ground beneath me in thy memory.

It's
Huepow's human form
in Klonoa Wii.

One of the reasons that the ending, which was supposed to be emotional, failed miserably.

Edit: Saw Young Conker on the first page. That's one of the worst ones, too.

It really makes you wonder, as the art work itself is really good. Shading on point, and anatomy is nicely stylized. The guy clearly has talent, so what one earth made him think the design itself was good.

Yes, she IS as young as she looks...

Seriously, whoever designed that character needs to have their computer checked by the police.

This one gets worse and worse the more I look at it, pretty funny

The best part about Velvet is that like, there's moments where antagonists are meant to be on the watch for bad guys and whatnot or looking for her and nobody seems to notice her, story wise. The costume gets an offhand joke or two but you'd think if they are looking for troublemakers the cast of weirdos running around would set off more alarm bells.

On it's own, this is just an average bland design, with nothing to make it special...but when you consider the perfection that it overrode, then it becomes my personal worst character design.

So painful knowing people keep dogging on a very good game series because they cannot grasp the simply concept that FFTA existence did not stop FFT from being made. The only thing that stop it was just how unpopular the series was and or the fact that the creator was busy doing something else.

Well we were ashmed of our words and deeds...

There is something so unattractive but a supposedly designed to be attractive character. I mean my god, how the hell do you end up with this crap.

Maybe he started with a normal character but the guy's boss told him to add more frills.

Guy adds more frills, but the boss says he wants more. Repeat a few times until the artist is tired of it, makes a version filled with all the shit he can imagine, and assumes the boss will have a good laugh about it before telling him to dial it back.

Except the boss is like YEAH THAT'S GOOD and tells him to ship it.
 
I'll just post the ones that have offended me over the last year because my memory's jacked.

Necalli, from Street Fighter V. Some dumb edgy caveman with Vs all over his fool self because V is the visual motif of the game.

F.A.N.G, from Street Fighter V. Just look at him.

Tracer, from Overwatch. A character so utterly by the numbers that the only things memorable about her are the controversy over her ass, and the catchphrase that you couldn't avoid if you saw their marketing at all.
