shark sandwich
tenuously links anime, pedophile and incels
God I hate this character. She looks like a freakish, soulless rubber doll.
Star Ocean 4 almost convinced me that the whole JRPG genre needed to die.

Ya'll harping on Nooj, but have you seen literally any other PS2-era Nomura design? They're all terrible. Look at this shit:
From The Bouncer. Yes, this character is supposed to be a bouncer like you would see in a bar. He has a 10lb weight chained to his neck.

Was already posted as a screenshot.
But this one is a contender for one of the worst covers as well:

Yes. Who's ever heard of a bouncer with lots of heavy jewelry around his neck. That would never happen. Nope.
Eh, final design is one of the better Dante designs
I think he looks garbage, but whatev's.
VR Conker was insipid

Terrible character all round, 4chan incarnate. Put a fairly big damper on my enjoyment of the game - I was enjoying Persona, and I haven't enjoyed a JRPG since the PS2.

He is fine (and Dagger too), but rest of the cast - yikes..
Vivi is bad design?
There's opinions, and there's being wrong.
A lot of actual sinful designs in this thread, but a lot of shitpost too.
I can't decide what is the worst character design I have ever seen in my life, because I normally let myself forget about them, but a recent one that I think is pretty bad from a game I love and play a lot is default Widowmaker, it's definitely the worst in the game.

Thankfully her alternative skins are all pretty good, in the same vein of overly stylish, but much better suited. Noire should just have replaced her default skin IMO.
Nah it's her artstyle and crappy dub. Her handdrawn portrait is much less offensive is and excellent lesson to devs.
IF YOUR GAME FEATURES CARTOONY CHARACTERS PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND CEL SHADE YOUR GAME AND PLEASE DON'T CHEAP OUT ON 3D MODELERS. thank you.
But Sora doesn't look especially good.
He's ok because it's mixed with disney, it's more cartoonish.
I still would have prefered something more inspired than what we often get from SquareEnix.
This with a passion.
These are all good to great designs. Necalli is supposed to be a brutal hand to hand aztec warrior, and he fits that to a tee. FANG is supposed to be hideous and unlikable. In-game even the other villians despise him. Tracer isn't great but far from terrible, just kind of boilerplate.
Sora isn't ok at all.
I love Kingdom Hearts, I played since the very first game, but if there is one thing I never dared to defend in this game is the design of the main characters, it's ugly and it's stupid. It got a bit better on KH2 though, but the classic design is horrendous.

Uh... have you ever been to 4chan?Terrible character all round, 4chan incarnate. Put a fairly big damper on my enjoyment of the game - I was enjoying Persona, and I haven't enjoyed a JRPG since the PS2.
Yeah, cause that's the problem, not the fact that Monolith has been terrible in both XB and XCX to translate the original character desing in game. XB2 is a giant step ahead in that sense, you not liking the "anime" (as if the previous ones weren't anime lol) style has zero to do with this "objectivity" you speak of.

Saw the thread title, and thought of this.
This is an example of people just not getting it.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Holy shit. Talk about try hard.
Does his shirt really read "Dog Street" ? LOL

There is nothing wrong with lymle design , it's just that her english voice and her behavior in-game and her dialogue are shit.
But what is the design problem ? She's a child magic user. She's clothed and there aren't any mismatched color or problem of the clothes itself.

The actual 2D art for SO4 in general is pretty good. No clue why they decided to have the character models go in the totally opposite direction, because they are baaaaad.
If anything we should be listing the entirety of SO4's models.

You got this backwards here. Widow's the worst and Orisa is one of the best alongside Zenyatta and Ana.Widowmaker is great.
Orisa on the other hand is the only bad design
Widow's the kind of female video game character design like Quiet that tries way too hard to be sexy and ends up being the opposite because of that.
No this is just a turd, unlike Zenyatta and Ana. I honestly can't think of any worse design by Blizzard, they're usually good at this.
And i'm not sure too many people would agree with you that Widow is the opposite of sexy.

There's nothing wrong with Limle's design on paper. Heck, even her rended looks good in static. It's how she looks in motion in the game that's horrifying O_O

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.
Tracer's design is great.
